abujaniv: It is highly unlikely that a Consular Officer will ask you for your birth certificate. We rarely look at documents, and instead rely on the application form and the interview in determining visa eligibility.
Gracias. By application form do u mean the DS 160 form?

Orlando Owoh: Go study how Ijaw people, whether from Bayelsa or Delta state school in villages outside their communities. Till date, none of the four Ijaw speaking LGAs: Burutu, Bomadi, Patani and Warri South, in Delta State has a centre for JAMB. As a result, they a forced to go to nearby Ughelli and Yenagoa to register.
cant remember disputing the above quote with u. My correction to ur previous comment was what u said concerning the old western region. I maintain my earlier stand that Delta state was part of the old Western region until the Mid western region was created

freecocoa: Please I'll be glad if anyone can help me on this topic, I've been wondering about thiw since I was a little girl in the sunday school class, I even asked my teacher then but she didn't even answer the question.

I mean, we've been told that all sinners will rot in hell and I know some mad people do what would be considered a sin if done by a sane person, now, will they get a pass because they are mentally unstable? Or will they roast in hell like every other sinner?Does the bible even say anything about mad people?

I'm just really curious, where will they go when they die?or when rapture occurs?

P.S. Don't know if the topic's been discussed previously, so...
Only God can answer your question. But we must live with the assurance that He will judge all justly, both the sane and insane

dejilg: Oh come on! U can do better dan dis! I haven't been taught to be anti catholic, I read the Bible and came across verses that expose ur lies! And if ur so called "saints" hv refuted dis "anti catholic" verse, why dnt u share it wit ushuh Instead of just brushing it aside

Oh my God, dude just came with a lame excuse! Firstly u said and I quote

"sit down at my right hand until i make thine enemies my footstool, by no means signifies that after d subjection of his enemies, d son of God is no longer to sit at d right hand of his father."

huh Wow! How much more eisegesis can u do?
Well it doesn't mean the Son would no longer sit on His Father's right hand, but it means He can now rule supreme over His enemies, but He should wait for a moment till His enemies are subdued. moreover this is in the future not d past! it has no connection to what we discussin Bro...u hv to do better dan dis

Again u typed and I quote

"In common conversation, when we say that a man died before he reached his 3oth year, we do not mean that he afterward attained it."

I wonder what dis example has to do with d verse? Well it showed us what happened to d man! And again u seem to show u lack understanding of the English language! Again dis is in the past (notice the tense is in the past)....showed what happened!

Now let me quote the verse again!
Matthew 1:24-25

24 When Joseph woke from sleep, he did as the angel of the Lord commanded him: he took his wife, 25 but knew her not until she had given birth to a son. And he called his name Jesus.

The verse is reporting what happened in the past! Joseph ddnt have intercouse with Mary, until she had birthed our Lord Jesus Christ! Perhaps u want examples of the meaning of the word "knew" in the use of context here! Example is

Genesis 4:1-2

1 Now Adam knew Eve his wife, and she conceived and bore Cain, saying, "I have gotten a man with the help of the Lord."2 And again, she bore his brother Abel. Now Abel was a keeper of sheep, and Cain a worker of the ground.

It says Adam knew his wife and dis resulted in a child --- meaning intercourse
And again she bore Abel... --- intercourse

Genesis 4:25

25 And Adam knew his wife again, and she bore a son and called his name Seth, for she said, "God has appointed for me another offspring instead of Abel, for Cain killed him."

And again had another son by intercourse! --- "knew his wife"

Wonderful isn't it? They all reported the past, just as Matthew did, but the Psalm u quoted is talking about the future!!! and doesn't even parallel the verse we are discussing!

U can do better dan ur "saints" u relying on! Read ur Bible

dejilg: Urs is the one dat z faulty! That verse separates the offspring from those who kept the Testimony of Jesus Christ... Moreover the Angel are portrayed as keeping the testimony of Jesus in revelations and d Dragon also fought dem, are they also the offspring of the womanhuh.....dude improve on reading n findin what the Bible teaches not what u r being told to just nodd yes to!

The Woman in Revelations 12 is Israel...if u say no! Then explain the 12 stars! If u claim its d disciples, den are u sayin that Jesus' disciples were present before he was bornhuh! Give proof for ur eisegesis

Again like I said, its only wen u make the woman in d verse to be Mary, that the crown of 12 stars doesn't make sense! Ur explanation creates the fault, not mine! So solve it!

When Joseph woke from sleep, he did as the
angel of the Lord commanded him: he took his
wife, but knew her not until she had given birth
to a son. And he called his name Jesus. Matthew
1:24-25 ESV
Any catholic here to tell us what dis verse is
saying?

Perhaps u missed my post that u shld explain dis to us! Tell us what Matthew was talkin about here
You just pick one of the anti-catholic verses you were taught nd think u hv made an unanswerable observation. Unfortunately, like i wrote b4, u picked d wrong Catholic. Heretics hv raised these points in d past and hv been shamed by d answers of saints.
Now to ur question, in many examples from scriptures, d words before nd until do not signify wht happened afterwards; for that point is left indefinite, but only what was done before or not done. Thus, wen it is said, sit down at my right hand until i make thine enemies my footstool, by no means signifies that after d subjection of his enemies, d son of God is no longer to sit at d right hand of his father. In common conversation, when we say that a man died before he reached his 3oth year, we do not mean that he afterward attained it.

dejilg: Oh my God...how unscholarly and unhistorical can u be? So the woman of revelations 12 is now Mary again? Not Israel herself? Ok answer me this. Did Mary birthed d 12 tribes of Israel?

And how z dat in connection to the curse in Genesis 3huh I said tell us wen d curse started to take effect! Stop dis eisegesis of the Bible.

Again Rev 12:17

17 Then the dragon became furious with the woman and went off to make war on the rest of her offspring, on those who keep the commandments of God and hold to the testimony of Jesus. And he stood on the sand of the sea.

So she had other offsprings! Do u agree Mary had other offspringshuh
Your reading skill is faulty. From d scripture above, the other offspring of the woman r those who keep the commandment of God nd hold to d testimony of Jesus. Mary as the new Eve becomes the Mother of God's people. The passage doesnt imply that d offspring of the woman r her biologicaal children, hence d description of wht it means here by d other offspring of d woman. However, d son of the woman was born physically by d woman.
Also, the passage states tht the woman is crowned with twelve stars, how does that imply that Mary birthed d twelve tribes of israel? Crown here is used to symbolize glory, majesty over Israel.
Pls try to improve on ur reading skillz

To show ur never ending ignorance and desperation u connected Jesus word of "woman" with God calling "the woman" of Genesis? Dude are u being serious about how ignorant u r?

Perhaps check my post again! Expound on the curse being laid on "the woman" first and later let's dive in to d prophecy! Mr. Wrong catholic picked...hahaahahahahahaha
Revelation 12(my comments in d brackets): 1. A great nd wondrous sign occured in heaven, a 'Woman' clothed with d sun, with the moon under her feet and a crown of twelve stars on her head(a woman glorified even b4 she gave birth, d twelve stars representind d twelve tribes of Isreal). She was pregnant and cried out in pain as she was about to give birth(compare Gen 3:16). 3. Then anoda sign appeared in heaven, an enormous red dragon wit seven heads nd ten horns and seven crowns on his head(obviously satan).............4. She gave birth to a son, a male child, who will rule all the nations with an iron sceptre(compare Gen 3:15)............17. Then the dragon was enraged at the woman and went off to make war against the rest of her offspring..those who obey God's commandments and hold to the testimony of Jesus.(note who d rest of her offspring are. All the faithfuls are therefore the offspring of the woman). Without doubt this woman is MARY. No wonder Jesus always called her woman.
One tin i like about arguement is that even wen both parties disagree, d truth is always imprinted into d heart of d one whose opinion is false. I know u r learning d truth gradually. Don't be ashamed to go to d nearest Catholic church and ask to be accepted into communion with the faithfuls

He cursed 'The Woman' and and also promised to raise through her the offspring that will crush d head of d serpent. The emphasis here is 'the woman' the same woman of Revelation 12 who is crowned with 12 stars representing d 12 tribes of Isreal, the same woman is in labour(d curse, Rev 3:16) and about to give birth to a son who will rule wit an iron rod(the promise of d redemptor, Rev 3:15). Who else is this woman but Mary who Jesus mysteriously kept calling woman. Note at the end of Rev 12 how the rest of the offspring of the woman is said to be those that do d will of God. We the faithfuls r therefore children of d woman, we therefore rightly call the Madonna mother of the Church. Think think think b4 u talk
Christianity EtcRe: Pastor Okotie Replies Catholics Over His "Hell Fire"sermon by clefstone(m): 8:57am On Dec 14, 2013
dejilg: Again u show ur lack of sensibility! Calling Mary the New Eve, followed from the Bible called Jesus the Second Adam!!! Dude are u serious, so u can't get facts?? Now who denied Mary being a virgin wen she conceived Jesus? Did I dispute that? Now I want u to show me wea d early Church fathers, pray to Mary! Pls cite it! Pls! Let's discuss, it! Show me the catholic parallels!

U do realise how hard am tryna cure u from being ignoranthuh Show us the "catholician honouring of Mary" by the early church fathers!
Augustine didnt just say Mary concieved as a virgin, he said Mary remained a virgin til death. The implication of this is that her hymen remained intact even after she bore Christ and she didnt have intercourse wit her husband even after she she bore Christ.
