IyfeNamikaze:
now listen, bowing to her image is not only tantamount to worship but also idolatry. so yo see you guys are practically committing two sins at the same time. Mary has nothing to do with my salvation, she was favored an the grace was with her. she was sinner, she wasn't conceived of the holy spirit like Christ was. she is a sinner and pray often for forgiveness just like you and I. or are you going to tell me that she has never done such? by the way, all these were possible because she is from David's lineage.

I hope you have never bowed before your Daddy GO ever before. She is not a sinner but the refuge for sinners. You think she was born in david's lineage by chance....think bro there was a divine salvation plan

IyfeNamikaze:
are you saying that Mary now has the power to stop God's plan? as in.... is that what you are trying to say?

its you that is implying that Mary is just one robot that God made for the purpose of bearing Jesus. because she is a robot to you she doesn't play any part to your salvation. Hence she is even to you less than the likes of Peter, John, Paul and all the prophets.

What I'm saying to the unbiased xtian minds out dia is that God chose Mary for the task from time immemorial. From what we know abt God he gave man free will. All the prophesies in the old testamanet about the virgin birth of the messiah is a testament to the divine plan of God. He formed her like he formed every one of us but made her specially sinless unlike us because she was going to carry God. Yes we xtians agree that Jesus Christ is God (the holy immortal One) so how can a vessel smeared in sin carry him. As catholics we believe that Jesus Christ had a dual nature of God and Man. So evidently when Mary exercising her free will chos to be the handmaid of the Lord she became the Mother of God! The honour catholics render to her also glorifies God because it is the Lord that lifted her from her lowliness for all generations(catholics) to call her blessed. Ave Maria!

mbulela:
If Mary was so sinless and worthy of this honour, why did God not use her to save humanity?
Why use Jesus,when He already has spotless,sinless Mary on earth?

Lemme play along with your own skewed logic......why did God even need to send Jesus to save mankind...he shud have just said some magic words and whooosh mankind is saved.

IyfeNamikaze:
she was favored! it was not of her doing, God favored her. andshe was from David's lineage , so God was fulfilling his words and at the same time favoring Mary. that's all. it could have been anyone else. she was just lock that the grace of the lord was on her.
let me even ask you... do you know what grace means?

Are you implying that Mary didn't have free will to have rejected the will of God and accepting to bear the messiah?

IyfeNamikaze:
No one is slandering Mary here, why should we? we are just trying to set things straight. it's human nature to overdo things. and as it stand, you people are rubbing Mary shoulder to shoulder with Christ. To even say she played a role in our salvation is so pitiful.

What u r doing is even worse than slander. First you miscontrue the honour catholics give to Mary as worship den wen u r being corrected you remain recalcitrant to accept that we only honour citing issues like bowing to her image as tantamount to worship. You are also lying against ur brethren. And as a bible studying xtian I pity the fact that you don't see it in the scriptures how Mary was a part of God's redemptive plan for fallen mankind. God does not make mistakes neither does he do things as random. Before we were even born he knows us (yes each and every one of the over 10billions) of us he ever created by name and he was the one that knitted us in our mother's womb. He chose her from time immemorial for the purpose of being the vessel to carry GOD(the new ark of the convenant). How do u think such a vessel can be smeared with sin. Study ur scriptures and see these things for urself. Who is that woman mentioned in Genesis that will crush the head of the serpent?

IyfeNamikaze:
really?! Peter, James and john never as a. matter of fact acknowledge Mary as having a place in their salvation. so by your logic I guess they are in need of pity? smh

Of course they are not in need of pity because they never slandered Mary as refering to her as a common vessel the way you lot do. They rather co-operated with her. Remember she was with then when the spirit of God descended @ pentecost yet I'm sure you hold them in higher regard compared to the Mother of your professed saviour Jesus Christ. That calls for pity.

gentlegg:
Had it been you're honouring Jesus you won't call me names.
Bros I love you too but still pity your beliefs.

See the hypocrisy in ur post. So its ok for you to 'pity' catholics but you r far too right and special for a catholic to pity u too. And as xtians we dnt honour but WORSHIP Jesus as our Lord....that part of ur doctrine too came from the catholic beliefs u claim to pity...Love you too but pity ur thought pattern.

gentlegg:
Have anyone read the book ''THE CHURCH AGE'' Please look for this book and read it, then you will know the origin of roman catholic. Its just roman paganism that metamorphosed into a church, starting from emperor Constantine. You will see the origin, history and meaning of all the teachings of roman catholic. They give so much importance to Mary because the then roman paganism is about an idolatrous sculpture of a goddess carrying a baby, which transcends to Mary carrying Jesus. Honestly I love the catholics for their religious zealousness but I pity them.

Before you go on this pity party for catholics why don't you look deeply inwards. A poor wretched soul as yours I think is more deserved of your pity. Any christian that undermines the place of the blessed virgin in his salvation is d one in need of pity.

So d AC is gonna be between now and december going by what the oracle has said. I've already exhausted my leave this year but hopefully will find a way to make myself present @ that gathering of .......

airsaylongcon:
I slumped when I heard the news at 8am as I was about to resume work. then I cried like a baby...then drove with tears in my eyes to see my dad...and he was crying! I could have passed out. The worst was when as tradition demands I go and identify her (being her first son) at d mortuary. For the first time in my life my mum wouldn't answer me when I called....they say Jesus wept...I went beyond weeping o.

I owe every one of you my deepest gratitude...I will individually thank all of you when I am done

Thank y'all for encouraging me so far

I've also lost a parent so I feel ur pain. I know how much it hurts. You will be fine as long as you allow the Lord consoles u from within. As a xtian u shud know that your mum is alive in Christ and still watches over u. Keep doing her proud by abiding to all d good things she had taught u. All the best man

Missmossy: Interesting lot of amusing reasons why people get married.

Not as amusing as why you are still single hon

Very interesting job you are doing here partner. If and only if a lot of our young men and women will shun misconceptions out there and search for the truth. More people will rid themselves of whatever ill mindset that may be limiting their career ambitions.I admire what you have done here and I'm not a bit surprised because you have always impressed me with your humility. Do follow me back on this forum because I would deeply appreciate that. I guess you are wondering why I am sounding in such a way as to portray I know you personally....as a matter of fact I do. Let's say I was one of your mentor when it comes to those nocturnal/social activities. *giggles* I enjoy the whole james bondesque feeling the anonymity of usernames give on a public forum like NL.

Another clue as to my identity....I sat beside you during the accreditation at the AC for the MNC u first joined in FCMG industry.

You seminarians share a larger portion of the blame. Most girls see you guys as "good" and harmless and tend to want to be in your company so as to grow spiritually from you but rather than focus on the mission of evangelizing to them you allow youselves(not any devil) to fall and some of you even lure these unsuspecting girls to you licentious ways. Until you learn to see these girls as nothing more but your own sisters you will always continue to feel sexual pressure around them and how long before you break your priestly vows.....Be truthful to yourselves.

:oVery interesting read. Never knew there were some snakes more deadly dan the dreaded black mamba. Imagine snakes that can still kill you even if you were rushed to the hospital for a shot of antivenom....Scary shit!!!

After declaring intent to contest for presidency one would expect that Atiku would devote his time and energy in preparing a solid manifesto to garner votes rather than embark on this senseless rants about GEJ. It reeks of insecurity on his part.

Its gonna be an exciting game. I feel so terrible knowing I'm gonna miss it cos of my hussle. But anyway I wish milan trash juve tonight. It will b a good way to tell all our haters that milan will always be at the top. We will bounce back again and conquer europe.....Forza Milan!

UnknownT: and u didn't see were she said that she has tumor? . U never can tell, maybe its the tumor's fault she couldn't read!

Whatever her reasons be bro its still a shame....

Fresia01: for d 1st tumor in. ma life i couldn't read a post and still i scrolled dwn to see if i can understand d post tru people's comments buh i couldn't!!! what's d man saying self??

Its a shame that a pretty young lady like yourself cannot take the pain to read.

Very interesting read...The only way to kill corruption in this country is when people start asking for the source of uncertain wealth. U can imagine how even pastors allow criminals sow seeds of corruption all because we love money more than we actually fear the God we claim to serve. Nigerians need a change of value system.....money isnt everything.

Everyday for the thief.....One day monkey go go market but e no go come back..... I always tell pple that crime does not pay. Now fast guy don become thief.

Thanks amigo for d write up but fret not for me for I'm d least person to be bothered by any of dis. What will b will b. The worst has come and gone(shl testing). I believe from now d ball is in our court. Its an opportunity we all have to sell ourselves. This is where all ur experiences will be brought to bear. If u r gud u r gud so there is nothing to fear. Fear is d only thing dat can limit u in an AC. So my friends for u to get to dis stage means u r gud....dat thot shud cast any fear. Confidence my friends....we will conquer. Gratias

Collintos: Dear I advice you don't bother yourself over things you don't have control over. LNG is one company that I have seen that has a touch of caring in what they do especially in there processes. Atleast checkout the treatments so far before this point. The answer to your question is depending on what you mean by "doesn't check out" if it is doesn't checkout on the basis of a false credential and age details (as schools have cool details about its alumni infact some schools have the details sought for displayed graphically in there records and transcripts) then likely the candidate maybe dropped. But if It is doesn't checkout on the basis of your schools delay to respond with the necessary information about you.....My thoughts....I don't think one will be dropped abruptly on that premise as they may escalate it in some way to get their expected results. Perhaps there is no one in this race that could have graduated from school more than 10 years ago and most schools have records within this range intact. I don't think someone will be disqualified on an unjust ground, that is the LNG I know in some way. Moreso every school will be proud to associate and support her alumni in this regard as long as your records are straight because they will be proud you are representing a good image and brand outside for a global standard company like LNG to be asking for you.....Suspicion will only arise if there is so much and very long and unnecessary delays knowing the fact I explained earlier as every school will be happy to verify what is asked for with all integrity to push her alumni forward and fast track any verification process . So be rest assured that you will have your chances once your records are straight no matter what due to their caring culture which also don't compromise integrity. So relax bro

My regards to everyone and I continually wish all of us the best of the best at the AC.

lokodon: If certificate verification starts now, then we can conclude that just few persons would be dropped after the next stage. We can say that success rate would be over 70%. Rule of Logic.

Does it mean that some successful candidates may be dropped and not called for AC if their certificate verification doesnt check-out?

lokodon: @stacydual
Was it really necessary to tell the house your age? Waiting for more info on your e-book, then I wld conclude. Congrats on your first post and hope the subsequent gets better.

Are you intimidated by that piece of info?

Spot-on! But I think after the training period when one is given a job role thats when the real heavy gbem will start landing. But the start-up too makes lot of sense....very juicy pay if u ask me .

Dplacement can still throw more light on this as a way of boosting us to reach the "holy" grail.

SQLmaster1: *adjusts collar* I was the genius and i did it for reasons best known to me.
@Dplacement, with all due respect, plz answer those questions ASAP cos my lips aren't gonna stay sealed for eternity.....

Funny man....who ask you if u were the genius?.....Y.E. Coyote

Wow your profile pic reminds me of when I used to visit females hostels back in the day....which one is this balewa, okpara, eyo-ita or bello?

Ukuts gp: i know that d catholic always resort to name calling especially when their lies are exposed. U can call me names but i forgive u. Those who speak d truth alway faces persecution. And i dnt think i am exempted. Calling me names will in no way reduce me. But i must speak d truth. The catholic and the muslim and pagans share similarity hence i need to win them 4 christ by preaching to them.

And you call this thing you are doing now preaching. Dude you are persecuting the Catholic Church and I wonder if that is the call to repentance your christianity demands of you. The name Ukuts on NL is synonymous now to anti catholic but we honestly dont care.

CATHOLIC TILL WE DIE.
