italo: Don't get it twisted, I never said you did. I said you think she's probably damned in hell. Or isn't that so?

If she's in hell, why would all generations call her blessed?

And if she's not in hell, where is she?



Why then did John see the mother bearing the son in heaven?

How did the rich man in Jesus' parable remember his family members from his place of torment?

If someone in the place of torments can remember and care for his family members, why do you think Jesus, who is in heaven has forgotten his Mother?

Our Christ our Lord is far too bigger than what you take Him to be, Jesus never hold His earthly parents to a high esteem as you folks think. Remember when He was 12years teaching at the synagogue, He told His earthly parents not to look for Him, that He is busy with His Father's business . Parental attachment to Christ while on the right hand side of the Father is nothing but a lie from the pit of hell, i repeat before Mary is Christ was. The devil loves counterfeiting the glory of God, the Romans worship the spirit of semiramis before the advent of Mary, they used Christianity as cover up for there pagan worship. (Study the link above it is from a Israeli rabbi).

italo: Do you think Christ is suffering from amnesia like some of you urchins on nairaland?

The New Covenant still remembers the Ark that housed him, protected him, taught him, breastfed him, loved him and remained faithful to him.

ALL generations shall call me BLESSED is what the Bible says.

Sadly, you reject that and think she's probably damned in hell.

If she's in hell, why would ALL generations call her blessed?

* Don't get it twisted, i never said she damned in hell
*Never compare the earthly realm with the spiritual real, they are the different entity, their is no father or mother in the realm of the spirit. Only your deed and faith in God and His words will speak for you. As for Christ recognizing Mary as His mother is a hoax, because before Mary is Christ was. Mary only speak for herself where ever she is now.

OkparaIgbo: One time I said here that the way things are going, that it is looking like time everyone answers his/her fathers name and people thought I was joking. But I say it again and again, that coming from a tribe were we have given our 100% each time only to be faced with bitter envy and jealousy all because we believe in this mirage called nigeria, I am now Igbo first of all before thinking of anyother affiliation.. Let this guys do their worst and we will come down from all over the world were we have been training in other military forces to ensure we enforce a total secession.! Enough of this Nonsense

I totally support you my brother 100%.

confusion247: Lugard made the worst mistake in the history of mankind. Issues like this is a prove that we are not one and we can never be one.

Gbam !
How will you join three totally different region sharing nothing absolutely in common .

new maonza: Igbo Dominate Army? Na Lie JOR ............. I can Only Believe This If The Crowd at Alaba, Ladipo, Opi-Iweka,Idumota, West Minister, Apapa- Ports reduces.... Wetin concern Igbo man with Army.... This Northerners should just admit Its no longer Business as Usual.......... Oga Jonathan U r doing a Good Job.

You are day dreaming, you had better wake up to reality. There is never an institution in life, you find black people in that you will never find Igbo people.

Rufex07: Hail Mary, full of grace the Lord is with you. Blessed are you among women and blessed is the fruit of your womb Jesus... Holy Mary, Mother of God pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our death. Amen.

Do you think Christ still recognise Mary as His mother ? Heaven and earth shall pass away but His word will never pass away. Everything connecting Mary and Christ has passed away, except she got saved in her life time, if not so, nothing for her .

You must be an incurable kill-joy. Go hang!

NO JOY IN ALL THESE EVEN IF NA 2-1 NOW. NAIJA NO GO WIN THE NEXT MATCH OR EVEN WIN THE CUP. A CORRUPT GOVERNMENT DOESNT DESERVE ALL THE GLORY IN AFRICA

Don't be sadist man, celebrate when others are celebrating must you always be on the negative,

Lovethywilbedon: Honestly you are a totaly misinformed confused being. First you started this thread with a type of BLASPHAMOUS comparism (of the catholic church with peganism) use in the 16th century by your fathers in faith to misguide ILLITRATES who can't read and write. Wake up Slumber, we are in the 21st Century when we have something like the internet. It is now easy to know the true teachings of the Catholic Church by visiting any of our websites. Even a SINCERE Protestant knows that what you copied and pasted here is nothing but a "CRAP", I mean SOLID WASTE FROM THE BOWELS. You also went ahead to BLASPHAME that Christ didn't honor Mary. Your are implying that Christ went through his life violating the Forth Commandment. Know this today that Christ honoured Mary more than any man or angel could do, when He obayed and granted her reques at the wedding in cana, even though according to Christ it is not yet the time appointed by his Father. It is the same as saying that Christ went agains Gods time, plan or will just to fulfil His mothers request. That is a "GRAET HONOUR" to Mary. Do you think Christ would have granted that request if it was made by Peter. Do you think He will grant a request against Gods plan if it was made by Abraham, Isaac, Jacob or even an Angel. But He granted it to His mother. THAT'S "GREAT HOUNOUR". You said that all honour belongs to God. That is correct. But you don't know that you owe honour to a uniformed Nigerian policeman. That is one problem with wrong and literal interpretation of the bible. So you don't know that you owe honour to Simple Object like the Nigerian Flag, the Nigerian Coat of Arm, and the little N20 note. If you think the apostle deserve any houour for what they went through, why shouldn't a greater honour be given to the mother of my Redeemer, The Mother of my LORD, I mean THE MOTHER OF my GOD. Your level of IMATURITY IN CHRISTIAN FAITH made you think that the apostles suffered more than Mary. Let me inform you today that what Mary suffered in her Heart and in her Soul is far greater than what any Apostle suffered in the flesh. You make me laugh in your display of childishness with the names of Christ. It is just like saying that the real name of Peter is Cephas, or that the real name of John is Jean, or that the real name of Mary is Maria. Are you not refering to the same persons with different languages?. Greek and latin are not like english which doesn't trasnlate Names of People. It is obvious from the contents of you posts that you know NOTHING about the Church you are attacking and too IMATURE to understand the LOGICAL implication of you comments.

Take it easy man, you don't have to insult anybody here, this is an highly intelligible topic for sounds minds.
(1) First you said you compared my father with Catholic church, before i go on who told you my 16th century fathers are misguided illiterate, they have their own culture and gods they worship as the Romans also, or is it because they don't speak English as we all do or what, they have shelters, never begged your father for food, they understood the science farming and hunting, they even developed standard languages, delete the evil pictures the western people painted Africa from your memory . Should incase you don't know it, civilisation did'nt moved across the world in just one day, it started gradually, where was your catholic people when the cradle of civilisation started in Egypt (Africa).
(2) Take or leave it the Romans never dropped all their pegan worship, they re branded it with Christianity. Make a thorough research of most Catholic celebration dates like the easter and others, they all derived from the days they worship their gods back then, google is your friend.
(3) Christ honored and respected His earthly mother as any child would, but when the time for the real thing came, He kept her in her rightful position.
He never give any instruction for us to worship and honor her, i wonder where that thought came from.
(4) Christ changed Cephas name to Peter meaning upon this rock i will build my church, Christ real Jewish name is Yahushua, His name will never be translated or re phrased . Ponder on this zeus and Jesus
(5) Christ will surely grant any request as long as it is aligned with the perfect will of His Father, so it was'nt because of Mary, He even grants my request if you care to know.
(6) After Christ ascended did you hear about Mary again, this is to show you that she has concluded the assignment God wanted her to do. All glory honor belongs to God and His son, concerning honoring objects which patterns to government Christ said it give to ceaser what is due to him. The best i can do is to be patriotic to my country and people

Show some love and respect man.

Bidemi1997: I pray to the Most High God through His Son Christ (who is wrongly called iesous/Jesus) our Redeemer & Saviour that people's eyes will
beginning to open to all these religions of this world.
"Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues." Rev 18:4.

You are right my brother, His real name is Yahushua ! The Israelites don't have the letter J in their alphabet. And @italo not trying to spoil any church but trying make the truth and light made known to all, everything i'm writing here is something you can reason and get your confirmation except you decided not to.

@Ubenedictus don't be deceived, the resurrection of Christ never fall at that period they call Easter, the means i gave is the actual way the calculate Easter ask your priest. If it is patterning to passover then my Christian Jewish friend should be regarding Easter too. Truly i say unto you, we were given diluted Christianity over here.

Ubenedictus: why not produce d catholic teaching dat says "adore mary", if u can produce dat den will we have sumtin to talk abt.

(1) The Catholic rosary: Praying with the catholic rosary their is a point they get to they mary to pray or intercede for them. This is going against 1 Tim 2:5.
(2) They have so many chants honoring her and truly all is due to God and His son, Christ Himself never honored her, He called her woman and not mother.

(3) Mary is just a mortal and no different from other people of her time, she was a vessel God used , remember our God can use anybody at anytime.

(4) If we should honore anybody besides Christ which is impossible, it should be the great apostle, who fought strongly at the detriment of their lives to see the good news prevailed over the world.

(5) Funny enough they put on her image and enough worship her image in their cathedrals.

I admire a certain priest, i admired him a lot because he did
something worthy of emulation.
Here is what he did....
The priest drives a humble volkswagen beetle car happily, then
one day, a certain member of his church drove in with a nice
saloon car to his house. Before the priest knows what was
happening the church member gave the car keys to the saloon
car and say " sir this is ur new car, we don't want you driving that
old saloon car anymore", and the man priest replied shaking his
head and saying " son i'm contented with the car i drive, it serves
the purpose i bought, thank you for the new car but i won't
accept it. There are a lot people hungry out there, people who can
hardly boost of a meal a day, people who can hardly take care of
their welfare , pls take this car sell it then take the money and
share among this people. I'm sure my heavenly Father will bless
you more by doing this".
My question is how many pastors or priest can do this ?

Pankaj1106: Yes breakfast is the most important meal in the morning..I always took heavy breakfast with eggs and butter so that I remain fit and healthy..

Please take it easy with the gun you re shooting, it's take not took.

italo: Keep wasting your energy while we keep praying.

Thou shalt have no other Gods before me. Commandment #1. For
there is no other name by which men are to be saved other than
Jesus christ. The worship of Mary is just a replacement name for the
many false godesses that were worshipped in Pagan cultures. mary
was no different than any human, a lost soul in need of a savior.

italo: Stay there and be finding faults in what you know next to nothing about.

Everyday, hundreds of millions of people are communing with their mother - the mother of their God - and she's helping us to be closer to her Son, our Lord, and obtaining for us many graces and favours.

Continue wasting your time while we fulfill Mary's prophesy: "all generations shall call me blessed."

Continue chasing shadows while we "behold our Mother" as Jesus told John to.

Continue wasting energy while we listen to our Mother as she says "do whatever he tells you" - and look what miracle was worked after the servants at the wedding feast obeyed.

How long will thou child of God will be hold captive by the old Roman paganism in the disguise of Christianity, thou child of God open yours eyes and let not be deceived by this people. Even Jesus never regarded Mary as His mother in the time of His true calling, He called mary "woman".
My dear mary is not scriptural and never will it be.

"Among all the women who have ever lived, the mother of Jesus Christ is the most celebrated, the most venerated...Among Roman Catholics, the Madonna is recognized not only as the Mother of God, but also, according to modern Popes, as the Queen of the Universe, Queen of Heaven , Seat of Wisdom, and even the Spouse of the Holy Spirit." -Time Magazine, "Handmaid or Feminist?", December 30, 1991, p. 62-66
Jeremiah 7:18 says, "... the women knead the dough, to make cakes for the queen of heaven ; and they pour out drink offerings to other gods, that they may provoke Me to anger!"
Is the Roman Catholic version of Mary truly the BIBLICAL Mary? Or is she really the Queen of Heaven from the Babylonian church of old that angered the Lord God in the book of Jeremiah? Out of all the proofs that expose the Vatican as the Pagan church, this has to be one of the most graphic. It’s almost as if they went back in time and copied this Pagan goddess exactly, so as to worship her as she desires them to. Old paintings and statues that have been found of this demonic goddess are exact duplicates of statues and paintings you will find today in Roman Catholic churches depicting Mary. Even the colors of her clothing match perfectly! It’s really quite shocking to say the least!
In Alexander Hislop's book, "The Two Babylons", He tracesthe Babylonian worship of the Queen of Heaven back to the days following the death of Nimrod. As the story goes, after Nimrod's death, his wife, Semiramis, was determined to retain her power and wealth as a leader of the people. So, she came up with the idea that her husbands death was for the salvation of all mankind. Of course we know who actually schooled her in that demonic fallacy. Hislop goes on to say that…
“Though the death of her husband has given a rude shockto her power, yet her resolution and unbounded ambitionwere in nowise checked. On the contrary, her ambition took a still higher flight. In life her husband had been honoured as a hero; in death she will have him worshipped as a god, yea, as the woman’s promised seed, “
Zero-ashta , ” who was destined to bruise the serpent's head, and in so doing, was to have his own heel bruised." The Two Babylons p. 58-59
Satan is a very cunning enemy. He always counterfeits prophetic truth in advance so as to make his lies appear holy. In fact, in Hislops book on page 76 he talks about Semiramis’s continued lies that got the people to believe her son was born miraculously. After they fell for that lie, she was then referred to as the “Virgin Mother” from thatday forward. Is this not a demonic twist on the prophesied birth of Christ? Truth be known, after Nimroddied, Semiramis committed adultery and had gotten pregnant. To prevent the people from killing her for proving she was “human” by her obvious pregnancy, she lied and told them her husband Nimrod had ascended to the Sun and is now called Baal. After she convinced them of this, she then stated he appeared to her and impregnated her without touching her with the rays of his glory.
She also claimed that the moon was a goddess that went through a 28 day cycle and ovulated when full. She further said that she descended from the moon in a giantmoon egg that fell into the Euphrates River. This was supposed to have happened during the first full moon after the spring equinox. This is where the Roman Catholic church gets their calculation for Easter. Ask any Pagan or Catholic priest when Easter arrives, and they will most assuredly tell you that after the first full moon of Spring, the following Sunday will be Easter.
The Babylonian people believed all the lies of Semiramis, and she was then crowned QUEEN OF HEAVEN. She later gave birth to her son and named him Tammuz. By the way, this so called “Queen of Heaven” was also called Iishtar. In today’s world, that word is pronounced, EASTER.
So, is the Mary of Rome the same as the Mary of Babylon? Truth is, Catholics the world over call Mary QUEEN OF HEAVEN do they not? When they pray the Rosary, as somedo on a daily basis, they must recite the prayer entitled, “Hail Holy Queen.”
From the earliest ages of the Catholic Church a Christian people, whether in time of triumph or more especially in time of crisis, has addressed prayers of petition and hymns of praise and veneration to the Queen of Heaven
. And never has that hope wavered which they placed in the Mother of the Divine King, Jesus Christ; nor has that faith ever failed by which we are taught that Mary , the Virgin Mother of God, reigns with a mother's solicitude over the entire world, just as she is crowned in heavenly blessedness with the glory of a Queen:

A lost dog strays into a jungle. A lion sees this from a distance and
says with caution "this guy looks edible, never seen his kind before".
So the lion starts rushing towards the dog with menace. The dog
notices and starts to panic but as he's about to run he sees some
bones next to him and gets an idea and says loudly "mmm...that
was some good lion meat!". The lion abruptly stops and says "
woah! This guy seems tougher then he looks, I better leave while I
can". Over by the tree top, a monkey witnessed everything.
Evidently, the monkey realizes the he can benefit from this situation
by telling the lion and getting something in return. So the monkey
proceeds to tell the lion what really happened and the lion says
angrily "get on my back, we'll get him together". So they start
rushing back to the dog. The dog sees them and realized what
happened and starts to panic even more. He then gets another idea
and shouts "where the hell is that monkey! I told him to bring me
another lion an hour ago..."

No matter how hard they may try to take that name Jesus out of our public places or offices, schools, i say of the truth it won't work.
They manipulate and twist principles most at times and give us some unrealistic reasons why we should'nt express our faith publicly.


Let me share with you a short story about a dear woman of God, when i say woman of God, i don't mean she is a pastor but she is a woman who has passion for God and the things of God.
This woman lives happily with her family and works in one the most recognized and accepted airline company. The woman is so diligent and hard working, serving the company for a good thirty years. Everything was going very smoothly in her family and place of work. Until one beautiful day she went to a mall and she saw a beautiful chain at the store and eventually buys it.
The next day, the woman woke up from bed and she did all what need do, then she picked up her new chains, putting it on and then off to work. On getting to her place of work, many saw her and also noticed the new piece she was putting on. Some expressed their likeness for the new chain, some admired but did'nt express it, while some were on easy seeing the the new piece on her neck . All this happenings never distracted her from her work, until the office interconnect phone ranged suddenly, this startled the woman a little wondering who that might be. So she picked the phone, she heard a thick masculine baritone voice, a voice that will make any dumb and unproductive staff change his or her mind for better performance. And the voice says "Mrs B i need your attention, so report to my office now ! Immediately she stopped whatever she was doing and left her office, that was her boss calling. The woman is now wondering what could have been the reason why boss man wants to see her, so she dashed into the next lift heading to her boss office. Finally she got there, now in front of her boss office few inches away, as she got to the door, she opened the door, she met her boss secretary on sit typing. The woman presence got the secretary alerted and immediately the secretary directed her into the boss office. As she got inside the office, she saw a fat, huge and intimidating man on sit, this is the boss man. The boss told her to take her sit, while he was starring at the chain the woman is putting on in an uneasy manner, and he went straight to the point and reason why he called the woman . And he said to woman "the chain you are putting is not accepted or welcomed in an institution like this, so don't wear it again, if you do otherwise you might end up getting suspended". Now i know you must be wondering what's so special about this chain that is bring all this attention, lo and behold, it is a chain with a cross. The woman kindly replied saying " my job cannot keep me away from expressing my faith".
After all said and done the woman got suspended because she would'nt let go of the cross. This happened in one of the countries that brought and spread Christianity to the world, but now one of the country's foremost company is suspending a woman because she is putting on a chain with a cross.
The story did'nt end there , the woman sued the company to court for stopping her from expressing her freedom of faith and to God be the glory she won the case. In all we the body of Christ are more than a conqueror and this is the mystery behind the woman victory : "To whom God would make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles; which is Christ in you, the hope of glory:" (Colossians 1:27-27).
Amen.

MOONQUAKES :-
Just as there Earthquakes on Earth, Moon has Moonquakes. They
were first discovered by the Apollo astronauts. Information about
moonquakes comes from seismometers placed on the Moon by
Apollo astronauts from 1969 through 1972. Moonquakes are much
weaker than earthquakes.
