Christianity EtcRe: Pope Benedict XVI Cured My Cancer by cold(m): 9:13pm On Sep 05, 2013
Nazi Youth member Joseph Ratzinger was appointed in 1981 to head the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith (CDF), formerly the Supreme Sacred Congregation of the Roman and Universal Inquisition - the mass murdering and torturing 'Holy Inquisition' - by the wrongly rose-painted Pope John Paul II.

The same Pope decreed in 2001 that all child abuse cases worldwide involving the Catholic clergy should be dealt with directly by Ratzinger at the CDF with the role, carried out with vigour, of stopping the Church-destroying truth coming to public attention and, in doing so, denying justice to abused children and allowing paedophile priests and bishops to stay in their jobs and continue their abuse of other children.

Ratzinger has resigned because of ill health? His mate John Paul II continued in his last four years despite suffering from Parkinson's disease, severe arthritis and having difficulty speaking and hearing. Popes don't resign and this is why it hasn't happened for 600 years. This is really about the truth coming out and there is a tidal wave of that still to do so - especially in Ratzinger's case.

I have said it for two decades and I will go on saying it - paedophilia and Satanism are the cement that hold the global Establishment together and the Roman Church is founded upon both going back to its theological 'inspiration' in Babylon and beyond.

When he asked God why he permitted the Holocaust, a rainbow suddenly appeared as he prayed.
Then when God told him to resign, he obeyed.

PoliticsDanbaba Suntai Sues State House Of Assembly by cold(op): 6:40pm On Sep 04, 2013
Governor Danbaba Suntai of Taraba State, yesterday, commenced a legal action against the Speaker and members of the State House of Assembly for refusing to allow him resume duties as governor after his return from medical treatment abroad.

Suntai, who was previously incapacitated to carry out his official duties sequel to his involvement in a plane crash, in an originating motion he filed before Taraba State High Court, Jalingo, accused the state legislature of attempting to usurp his position and constitutional powers.

Suntai had on August 26, transmitted a letter to the Speaker of the Taraba State House of Assembly, notifying him of his return after a 10-month absence and his readiness to take over his office as governor.

However, his request was rejected on the premise that the letter ought to be deliberated upon by the House of Assembly before a decision could be reached on it.

Acting Gov

Accordingly, the state House of Assembly directed that the Deputy Governor, Alhaji Umar Garba, whom it had declared acting Governor, should continue to exercise the powers of governor pending a resolution of the House on Suntai's letter.

Dissatisfied with the action of the legislature, Suntai, in a suit filed through his lawyer, Dr. Alex Izinyon (SAN), yesterday, maintained that his letter notifying the Speaker and the House of his return and intention to take over was not subject to the exercise of their discretion to accept or reject, saying it is "mandatory" for them to do so.

The suit

Specifically, he urged the court to determine "whether by virtue of Section 190(2) of the 1999 Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria (as amended), the 1st and 2nd Defendants can by press release or debate, interfere with, do anything whatsoever in connection with or in relation to the letter transmitted by the Plaintiff to the 1st Defendant pursuant to the said Section 190(2) of the 1999 Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria (as amended).

"Whether the 1st and 2nd Defendants can debate the letter of Plaintiff, dated August 26, transmitted to the 1st Defendant and, by press release, direct that the Deputy Governor of Taraba State, Alhaji Garba Umar, should continue in office as Acting Governor of Taraba State till Plaintiff is declared medically fit to resume office having regard to the provision of Section 190(2) of the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria 1999 (as amended)."

'My letter mandatory'

He is also urging the court to "declare that the letter of the Plaintiff dated August 26, transmitted to the 1st Defendant is absolute, mandatory, immutable and cannot be debated or contradicted by any means whatsoever as the 1st and 2nd Defendants lack any discretion and that upon transmission of the said letter, Plaintiff has automatically assumed his powers and responsibilities as Governor of Taraba State."

Besides, he wants the court to declare that by virtue of Section 190(2) of the 1999 Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria (as amended), the 1st and 2nd Defendants cannot by press release or debate, interfere with, do anything in connection with or in relation to the letter transmitted by the Plaintiff to the 1st Defendant pursuant to the said Section 190(2) of the 1999 Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria (as amended).

"A declaration that the 1st and 2nd Defendants' press release of August 29 or any other date whatsoever directing that the Deputy Governor of Taraba State, Alhaji Umar Garba, should continue as Acting Governor of Taraba State is null and void, ultra vires and constitutionally void and of no effect whatsoever."

Accordingly, he is seeking an order of perpetual injunction restraining the 1st and 2nd Defendants from debating, interfering with, doing anything in connection with or in relation to the letter transmitted by the Plaintiff to the 1st Defendant pursuant to Section 190(2) of the 1999 Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria (as amended).

PDP intervenes

Meanwhile, the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, made a spirited effort, yesterday, to reconcile the ailing governor of the state with his Deputy, Umar, who has acted as governor since October last year.

The party held a successful consultation with the different factions in the state's raging political crisis and pleaded with them to give peace a chance by allowing the governor to recover fully from his medical condition.

The Hope Uzodinma Fact-finding Committee, which was empaneled by the party's leadership, flew into Jalingo in the morning and was able to meet with the critical parties, including Suntai, his wife, Hauwa, acting governor, Umar and members of the state House of Assembly before arriving at a political solution to the crisis.

Although the seven-member panel met Suntai in secret, they later held a session with others at the Governor's Office, Jalingo, before making known their verdict on the crisis, which accentuated with the attempt by Suntai's loyalists to take over the mantle of leadership from Umar following the return of Suntai.

The committee aligned with the position canvassed by the state House of Assembly and the representatives of the state in the National Assembly that while Suntai remains the governor, the Deputy Governor, Umar, must continue to act pending when Suntai would recover from his condition.

The bitter struggle between forces loyal to the two political leaders in the state led to the sack of the State Executive Council by the governor's supporters.

The situation forced the state House of Assembly to openly oppose the takeover of the administration by Suntai's men.

They promptly asked the ailing governor to return to the United States and seek further medical attention, while Umar continues with the running of the state's affairs.

However, after a closed-door meeting with the stakeholders in Government House for about two hours, Senator Uzodima announced that the acting governor would continue to hold the fort for Suntai, who remains the governor.

Uzodima, who played down on the problem in the state since the return of Suntai, said that the state was merely involved in what he called "little quarrel" and nothing more.

It's settled -- PDP C'ttee Chair

He said: "We had a little quarrel in the state, but not crisis as some people may describe it. We met with Governor Suntai and discovered he is getting better by the day.

"He (Suntai) has also agreed that Umar should continue to run the state in acting capacity and we all agreed with him.

"Umar, the acting governor will be running the government in serious consultations with Suntai and we urge all of you to support him to succeed in the onerous task."

Umar told journalists that he was grateful to President Goodluck Jonathan and the National Chairman of the original PDP for taking urgent steps to resolve the crisis.

He restated his commitment to work in strict collaboration with Suntai, particularly on matters of politics and the development of the state.

Umar said: "Today we have been able to tell ourselves the truth and we have been able to resolve all the differences."

On the dissolution of the State Executive Council by Suntai, Umar said: "I am still in consultations with my boss and I will communicate to you on the issue after our consultations."

The governor and his deputy were expected to hold the consultations last night and the outcome made public today.

Participants

Umar and the Secretary to the Government, Gavey Yawe, had earlier received members of the team at the Jalingo Airport before leading to the crucial meeting with stakeholders at the Government House.

Before the arrival of the team, Suntai's wife, Hauwa, had touched down at the Jalingo Airport with chattered plane marked No.5N-BMR at about 10am.

Another hired private plane, No.9H-ZAT, Hawker 900, with members of the National Assembly from the state, also touched down at exactly 10:25 am.

The NASS members on the team were Sen. Abubakar Tutare, representing Taraba Central; Jerry Mamwe, representing Karim-Lamido; Lau, Aldo-Kola Federal Constituency; Aminu Male, representing Jalingo, Yorro and Zing Federal Constituency and Ibrahim Tukur, representing Gashaka, Kurmi and Sadauna Federal Constituency.

However, in spite of the intervention of the PDP fact-finding mission, the Senator representing Taraba South, Sen. Bwacha, and a close ally of Suntai, had maintained that members of the House of Assembly should respect the position of the law regarding the letter transmitted to them by the governor.

Police boss sued

Meanwhile, a Federal High Court sitting in Abuja has been urged to compel the Inspector-General of Police, Mohammed Abubakar, to investigate the letter sent by the Governor Suntai to the Taraba State House of Assembly, indicating his readiness to resume duty.

In the suit, No. FHC/ABJ/CS/593/13, filed by Falana Chambers on behalf of Haruna Daniel and Bako Ojoda against the police boss, and Taraba State House of Assembly, they also asked the court to compel the lawmakers to equally constitute a committee to investigate the state of the Governor's health before he resumes duty.

No date has been fixed for the suit.

Christianity EtcRe: How Can You Prove To An Atheist That God Exists? by cold(m): 9:50pm On Sep 02, 2013
Kayceenaz: My brother,you are utterly mistaken and your assertion,I'm sorry to say this,is an ignorant and gibberish one.For you to say that GOD,which is something,wasn't there in the first place is rather absurd and implausible.Talking about GOD connotes that HE is something,which makes it possible for HIM to be our topic of discussion.Can no thing be talked about? Of course,Not! Existence simply means to exist,and to exist means to be,that is,to be something and not nothing.Saying that God is nothing is tantamount to saying that something is nothing,that is,an existent or existing thing doesn't exist.It is just like saying that you,that is presently reading this comment,is dead and doesn't exist.How does that sound? Absolutely contradictory and irrational,isn't it? You could even slap one for saying that.God,which is something,is eternal,athanatos(cannot die) and the beginning of all beginnings.It would be illogical,unreasonable and a reductio ad absurdum to assert that an eternal,perduring,indestructible,all-perfect,perennial,and permanent being has never been,wasn't and still isn't.In other words,like St Anselem,the renowned philosopher,would say,''GOD is the being than which no greater can be conceived.''HE is the first in the hierachy of being,and that SOMETHING beyond which no other something can be imagined.Referring to a person as good presupposes that there are bad persons from which the good person is distinguished.Hence,the concept 'good' implies the existence of the concept 'bad' and vice-versa,as truth implies falsity.Similarly,if we humans eventually die and go out of existence,then that is an implication that there is a being,who always is,never dies,and goes out of existence because that which makes HIM what HE is,is being;HIS essence is to be.That peculiar being,something,existent,is the ALMIGHTY GOD.
However,from the foregoing,it can be confidently said that GOD EXISTS!
Blah,blah,blah..oya enough of the sophistry & philosophical jargon. Just prove it! Prove your God's existence. I mean seriously how hard can that be?& please do NOT refer me to your Jewish book of fables. You should be a lot smarter than that

In the words of the so called Holy See

[b]The Holy Father is full of surprises, born of true and faithful humility. On Wednesday he declared that all people, not just Catholics, are redeemed through Jesus, even atheists. However, he did emphasize there was a catch. Those people must still do good. In fact, it is in doing good that they are led to the One who is the Source of all that is good. In essence he simply restated the hope of the Church that all come to know God, through His Son Jesus Christ. Francis based his homily on the message of Christ to his disciples taken from the Gospel of Mark. Francis delivered his message by sharing a story of a Catholic who asked a priest if atheists were saved by Christ. "They complain," Francis said, "If he is not one of us, he cannot do good. If he is not of our party, he cannot do good." He explained that Jesus corrected them, "Do not hinder him, he says, let him do good." The disciples, Pope Francis explained, "were a little intolerant," closed off by the idea of possessing the truth, convinced that "those who do not have the truth, cannot do good." "This was wrong... Jesus broadens the horizon." Pope Francis said, "The root of this possibility of doing good - that we all have - is in creation.""Even them, everyone, we all have the duty to do good, Pope Francis said on Vatican Radio. "Just do good" was his challenge, "and we'll find a meeting point." Francis explained himself, "The Lord created us in His image and likeness, and we are the image of the Lord, and He does good and all of us have this commandment at heart, do good and do not do evil. All of us. 'But, Father, this is not Catholic! He cannot do good.' Yes, he can... "The Lord has redeemed all of us, all of us, with the Blood of Christ, all of us, not just Catholics. Everyone! 'Father, the atheists?' Even the atheists. Everyone!" We must meet one another doing good. 'But I don't believe, Father, I am an atheist!' But do good: we will meet one another there." Father James Martin, a Jesuit priest, told the Huffington Post, "Pope Francis is saying, more clearly than ever before, that Christ offered himself as a sacrifice for everyone. That's always been a Christian belief. You can find St. Paul saying in the First Letter to Timothy that Jesus gave himself as a 'ransom for all.' But rarely do you hear it said by Catholics so forcefully, and with such evident joy. And in this era of religious controversies, it's a timely reminder that God cannot be confined to our narrow categories."Pope Francis is trying to deepen our understanding of the fullness of Christ's sacrifice and its reach, which extends to all men and women. We often fall into familiar ways of thinking that are closed. We divide ourselves into groups, forgetting that we are all children of God, identical, regardless of any divisions we establish for ourselves.We are also all called to the One who created us and, through His Son,is recreating us anew. He calls us to accept His salvation[/b]
