Pure Hypocrisy. So "the LATEST WITH AMECHI" is a constructive topic right?
skyluv2000: This is what the Bible called unnecessaary, irrelevant, unimportant and unconstructive topic, and the bible added in this kind we sud utterly neglect it, ie such topics. So pls am not cut out for this kind of trash. Pls what is the latest with Amechi.
Hopefully IN THE SAME LIGHT you will: 1. Attend weddings of husband snatchers - women who marry married men 2. Attend weddings of thieves, liars, fornicators etc
Since YOU are THE Apostle/Angel/Messenger of GOD , right?
basisop: I'll attend just to kill them for being a disgrace to the family.
breaktro: I know most of us have diverse opinions about this gay issue.In order to try to clarify things,I want to know if you can confidently attend the wedding of your gay brother and even invite your friends,in case the gay marriage law is lifted.The floor is open for your opinions.
He is The HEAD of a number of people GAY catholics and STRAIGHT catholics. He is RESPONSIBLE for the CHURCH and THAT ONLY. Thus, his role is to BRING THEM TO THE LORD, not to go about sentencing people to hell as YOU (I would assume) want him to do. Did he sentence you to hell for adultery, fornication, lying, lust? ([size=16pt]WHICH I AM ALMOST CERTAIN YOU ARE TERRIBLY GUILTY OF and by Comparison 4:1?[/size]) No. So shut up and swallow your shallow sentiments.
I THINK JESUS SAID : " NeITHER DO I CONDEMN YOU, GO AND SIN NO MORE"
These Christians who want to be more than Jesus CHRIST
Pipsland78: ...that he does not have the guts to stand for the truth.
Don't wad it off, if YOU have not experienced it don't wad it off, I won't call it "trash" it is "unfamiliar" to you does not make it trash. YOU are NOT authority on CHRISTIANITY, AND the bible DOES mention it being like DRUNK. Acts 2:15 Eph 5:18
frosbel: No , because he preaches false doctrine .
Do you call the trash in this video Christianity ?
Did Paul not say he speaks in tongues MORE than others? Is paul "bragging" about speaking "gibberish" more than others?
Surely he wasn;t saying he speaks Hebrew, French, English etc and many more languages than others because there were many a christian back then who were multilingual and Paul was never written to be such.
Explain.
benalvino: But is that not it is? When someone do kapasantaya kimoshangala he is speaking gibberish... Not supported in the bible simple
In a bid to understand, I have questions. Firstly, V. 1 and V. C seem to contradict. as with VI 1
How and where specifically did Paul say the gifts would cease, in 1 Cor 13, if I am not mistaken he mentions knowledge too, does that mean knowledge of any kind should be ceased?
Acts 1:4,5 mention a gift The Father has promised, it does not INCLUDE the fact that this is for them ONLY...according to you, others they laid hands on received it, so won't that go against you in V.1
Also can you then explain Mark 16:16-18 ?
I humbly expect your reply.
benalvino: One of the "Tenets" of the Pentecostal movement is the belief in the infilling of the "Holy Spirit" with the evidence of "Speaking in Tongues" or an "Unknown Tongue". There own interpretation of this is the Spirit of God ... "The Holy Ghost" ... is speaking through them. and if the holy spirit is speaking through them how do they know what they are praying to God? they usual pray in tongues(gibberish) in Nigeria and preach in normal English or known tongue(language)
like in the youtube video hisblud posted... They will further explain that sometimes they do not know what they are saying and the those present do not know what is being said. Many times they will rely on an interpreter to explain what has been said. The Bible speaks of no such thing! Many of these believers are deceived and are not speaking in any tongue .. let alone an unknown tongue. Those who are present may become confused for all they here are sounds of "gibbering" and "jabbering". Those who sincerely believe in "speaking in tongues" believe that this is necessary for an individual to be completely saved to the "uttermost". All this "seeking" for the "Holy Ghost" takes place after being baptized in accordance with (Acts 2:38) .. in the name of Jesus for the remission of their sins. (1 Cor 14)
I: The Bible Speaks of an Unknown Tongue. (1 Cor 14:2)
A. Even then it is unknown (the language) to the individual being spoken to.
1. The speaker at times understands what he is saying but those he is speaking to .. do not. ... His understanding in unfruitful.
2. As a result, he speaks to God and he alone is edified (through understanding) ... To those present it is meaningless ... because his language is "unknown" to them.
a. What good has he done for the those he is speaking to?
b. What good had he done for himself? (1 Cor 14:4) ... (PURPOSE OF PREACHING!)
II. We Know That By "Tongue" ... Paul Has Reference To Words That Can Be Understood. (1 Cor 14:9) (1 Cor 14:14,15)
A: "Unknown Tongue" here refers to an "Unknown Language" ... to those who are listening.
1. If Paul would be praying in an "unknown tongue" ... those listening would find his pray to be meaningless ... What good would this accomplish?
B: If I were to speak in another language ... those of you who do not know that language .. would not benefit from what I had to say. (INTERPRETERS WOULD HAVE TO BE USED.)
1. If the "song leader" were to lead in songs .. in another language .. those who do not know the language .. could not be edified. (You would not understand the words.)
C: We need to determine that in praying .. in preaching .. in singing .. in teaching .. we need to do all things in "Spirit and Understanding".
1. We are not to "edify" ourselves .. but we are to "edify" one another in "Spirit and in Truth."
III. When Paul Speaks of "Unknown Tongues" .. He is Speaking of "Unknown Languages". (Glossa .. Noun.) (1 Cor 4:16-19)
A: Some here .. possibly speak two or more languages .. We could very well converse with one another in two or more languages ... We have learned them!
1. What about the rest of the congregation .. are we edifying them? NO! .. Is it right NO!
B: I try very hard to speak with words that all may understand what is being said.
1. When words come up that are difficult to pronounce .. I make every effort to speak correctly .. many times with an explanation.
2. I want everyone to hear and by hearing .. understand. ... I want men .. women .. boys .. girls to know what the Bible says .. It could change their lives.
IV. "LISTEN TO IT!" (1 Cor 14:21,22)
A: What is the purpose of Tongues? (EXPLAIN) ... Remember this!!!!
1. (1 Cor 14:27,28) ... did you understand that? (DEAF INTERPRETATION)
B: The "Unknown Tongue" is a "language" unknown to the "unlearned listeners!"
1. If there be one who speaks in an unknown tongue .. there should be with him an interpreter ...so that all could hear and understand!
2. If no one is there who can interpret ... Paul says .. "... let him keep silence in the church..."
a. There is no profit for him to speak ... for anyone but maybe oneself .. as each one should speak alone with God.
V. Let's Go Back To Our Text. .. (Acts 2:1-4)
A. Who had the "power" to speak in "Unknown Languages?" .. (Hetero Glossos) which means ... "Strange Tongues". .... Only the 12 Apostles ...
1. The Lord promised to them and them alone .. the "Baptism of the Holy Spirit."
2. One of the "resulting" signs was that they were able to speak in "Strange Tongues" (Hetero Glossos)
a. Which is "Unknown Languages" ... they were each able to speak in a "tongue" (Glossa) they had not learned .
b. Every man could "understand" in his own language (Acts 2:6-.
1. This was not "gibberish" .. it was the tongue in which they were born.
2. A "tongue" that the Apostles had not been taught.
B: Cornelius and his household received the "Baptism of the Holy Spirit". ... Why?
1. To show that the Gentiles had been accepted of God too ... and they spoke in "tongues" (Glossa). (Acts 10:46)
C: Then those on whom the Apostles laid their hands on received the "Holy Spirit" ... and they too spoke with strange tongues (Hetero Glossos). (Acts 19:1-7).
D: Were there others? ... The Bible is silent .. no further record anywhere!
1. Why did these men receive limited power of the 'Holy Spirit"?
2. To have the ability to go into foreign nations .. preach the saving Gospel of Jesus Christ ... without need of an interpreter.
E. How long did it last? ... Until the New Testament could be written and given to the world.
F. Paul preached that the time would come .. tongues and miraculous gifts would cease. (1 Cor 13:9,10)
a. (Jam 1:25) .. "But whoso looketh into the perfect law of liberty, and continueth therein, he being not a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work, this man shall be blessed in his deed."
b. I submit to you that this ... Bible ... is perfect.
G. There are no "miraculous tongues" .. being spoken today. There is no need o such .. This word of God is truth .. for God is true. (John 3:33) VI: What About Those Who Claim To Speak In "Unknown Tongues" Today?
A. In their :zeal" .. they over look several important "facts".
1. The "Baptism of the Holy Spirit" ... (Speaking in Tongues) ... has not been promised to them.
a. It was promised to the Apostles ... ONLY. (Acts 1:4,5)
2. Since only the Apostles could "lay their hands" on others so that they might receive the "Laying on Hands Measure" of the "Holy Spirit" ... since all the Apostles are dead .. no one could have that measure today.
3. "Speaking in Tongues" always had reference to "Speaking in Strange Languages". (Hetero Glossos)
4. "Speaking in Tongues" was for the benefit of unbelievers .. never was it intended for believers.
a. Today it is practiced in churches for the benefit of believers as a "prayer language "and an evidence of the "Holy Spirit".
b. Where is the authority? .... surely not in the Bible!
5. If the "claimants" do not know what they are saying .. those who hear do not know what is being said ... how could they expect God to be worshipped acceptably?
a. This was not the way of the first century worship or practice.
6. Those who claim to speak in "tongues" .. are not able to speak like the Apostles did on the day of Pentecost ... they have no "miraculous" gifts.
7. God does not speak directly to man today ... If anyone teaches this ... he is a false teacher and the truth is not in him.
a. "Satan" is a sly "Old Fox" ... "Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walking about, seeking who he may devour." (1 Pet 5:
Many people have been deceived because they have not studied their Bibles. If one would only study .. diligently .. with an honest heart .. a searching mind .. they would be able to see the truth of the Gospel. Satan is alive and well and rejoicing in their unbelief. (2 Tim 2:15) Let me leave you with these words of wisdom ... "Do not depend on others to teach you what you need to learn for yourself. If you put your faith in man .. man will deceive you. Just because a preacher tells you .. that does not make it right."
(Gal 1: ... "But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, Let him be accursed."
Jesus said to people who wanted to "treat Bleep ups" Let he who is without sin cast the first stone

[size=15pt]20 Things 20-Year-Olds Don’t Get.[/size]
Time is Not a Limitless Commodity – I so rarely find young professionals that have a heightened sense of urgency to get to the next level. In our 20s we think we have all the time in the world to A) figure it out and B) get what we want. Time is the only treasure we start off with in abundance, and can never get back. Make the most of the opportunities you have today, because there will be a time when you have no more of it.
You’re Talented, But Talent is Overrated - Congratulations, you may be the most capable, creative, knowledgeable & multi-tasking generation yet. As my father says, “I’ll Give You a Sh-t Medal.” Unrefined raw materials (no matter how valuable) are simply wasted potential. There’s no prize for talent, just results. Even the most seemingly gifted folks methodically and painfully worked their way to success. (Tip: read “Talent is Overrated”)
We’re More Productive in the Morning – During my first 2 years at Docstoc (while I was still in my 20’s) I prided myself on staying at the office until 3am on a regular basis. I thought I got so much work done in those hours long after everyone else was gone. But in retrospect I got more menial, task-based items done, not the more complicated strategic planning, phone calls or meetings that needed to happen during business hours. Now I stress an office-wide early start time because I know, for the most part, we’re more productive as a team in those early hours of the day.
Social Media is Not a Career – These job titles won’t exist in 5 years. Social media is simply a function of marketing; it helps support branding, ROI or both. Social media is a means to get more awareness, more users or more revenue. It’s not an end in itself. I’d strongly caution against pegging your career trajectory solely to a social media job title.
Pick Up the Phone – Stop hiding behind your computer. Business gets done on the phone and in person. It should be your first instinct, not last, to talk to a real person and source business opportunities. And when the Internet goes down… stop looking so befuddled and don’t ask to go home. Don’t be a pansy, pick up the phone.
Be the First In & Last to Leave – I give this advice to everyone starting a new job or still in the formative stages of their professional career. You have more ground to make up than everyone else around you, and you do have something to prove. There’s only one sure-fire way to get ahead, and that’s to work harder than all of your peers.
Don’t Wait to Be Told What to Do – You can’t have a sense of entitlement without a sense of responsibility. You’ll never get ahead by waiting for someone to tell you what to do. Saying “nobody asked me to do this” is a guaranteed recipe for failure. Err on the side of doing too much, not too little. (Watch: Millennials in the Workplace Training Video)
Take Responsibility for Your Mistakes – You should be making lots of mistakes when you’re early on in your career. But you shouldn’t be defensive about errors in judgment or execution. Stop trying to justify your F-ups. You’re only going to grow by embracing the lessons learned from your mistakes, and committing to learn from those experiences.
You Should Be Getting Your Butt Kicked – Meryl Streep in “The Devil Wears Prada” would be the most valuable boss you could possibly have. This is the most impressionable, malleable and formative stage of your professional career. Working for someone that demands excellence and pushes your limits every day will build the most solid foundation for your ongoing professional success.
A New Job a Year Isn’t a Good Thing – 1-year stints don’t tell me that you’re so talented that you keep outgrowing your company. It tells me that you don’t have the discipline to see your own learning curve through to completion. It takes about 2-3 years to master any new critical skill, give yourself at least that much time before you jump ship. Otherwise your resume reads as a series of red flags on why not to be hired.
People Matter More Than Perks – It’s so trendy to pick the company that offers the most flex time, unlimited meals, company massages, game rooms and team outings. Those should all matter, but not as much as the character of your founders and managers. Great leaders will mentor you and will be a loyal source of employment long after you’ve left. Make a conscious bet on the folks you’re going to work for and your commitment to them will pay off much more than those fluffy perks.
Map Effort to Your Professional Gain – You’re going to be asked to do things you don’t like to do. Keep your eye on the prize. Connect what you’re doing today, with where you want to be tomorrow. That should be all the incentive you need. If you can’t map your future success to your current responsibilities, then it’s time to find a new opportunity.
Speak Up, Not Out – We’re raising a generation of sh-t talkers. In your workplace this is a cancer. If you have issues with management, culture or your role & responsibilities, SPEAK UP. Don’t take those complaints and trash-talk the company or co-workers on lunch breaks and anonymous chat boards. If you can effectively communicate what needs to be improved, you have the ability to shape your surroundings and professional destiny.
You HAVE to Build Your Technical Chops – Adding “Proficient in Microsoft Office” at the bottom of your resume under Skills, is not going to cut it anymore. I immediately give preference to candidates who are ninjas in: Photoshop, HTML/CSS, iOS, WordPress, Adwords, MySQL, Balsamiq, advanced Excel, Final Cut Pro – regardless of their job position. If you plan to stay gainfully employed, you better complement that humanities degree with some applicable technical chops.
Both the Size and Quality of Your Network Matter – It’s who you know more than what you know, that gets you ahead in business. Knowing a small group of folks very well, or a huge smattering of contacts superficially, just won’t cut it. Meet and stay connected to lots of folks, and invest your time developing as many of those relationships as possible. (TIP: Here is my Networking Advice)
You Need At Least 3 Professional Mentors – The most guaranteed path to success is to emulate those who’ve achieved what you seek. You should always have at least 3 people you call mentors who are where you want to be. Their free guidance and counsel will be the most priceless gift you can receive. (TIP: “The Secret to Finding and Keeping Mentors”)
Pick an Idol & Act “As If” – You may not know what to do, but your professional idol does. I often coach my employees to pick the businessperson they most admire, and act “as if.” If you were (fill in the blank) how would he or she carry themselves, make decisions, organize his/her day, accomplish goals? You’ve got to fake it until you make it, so it’s better to fake it as the most accomplished person you could imagine. (Shout out to Tony Robbins for the tip)
Read More Books, Less Tweets/Texts – Your generation consumes information in headlines and 140 characters: all breadth and no depth. Creativity, thoughtfulness and thinking skills are freed when you’re forced to read a full book cover to cover. All the keys to your future success, lay in the past experience of others. Make sure to read a book a month (fiction or non-fiction) and your career will blossom.
Spend 25% Less Than You Make – When your material needs meet or exceed your income, you’re sabotaging your ability to really make it big. Don’t shackle yourself with golden handcuffs (a fancy car or an expensive apartment). Be willing and able to take 20% less in the short term, if it could mean 200% more earning potential. You’re nothing more than penny wise and pound-foolish if you pass up an amazing new career opportunity to keep an extra little bit of income. No matter how much money you make, spend 25% less to support your life. It’s a guaranteed formula to be less stressed and to always have the flexibility to pursue your dreams.
Your Reputation is Priceless, Don’t Damage It – Over time, your reputation is the most valuable currency you have in business. It’s the invisible key that either opens or closes doors of professional opportunity. Especially in an age where everything is forever recorded and accessible, your reputation has to be guarded like the most sacred treasure. It’s the one item that, once lost, you can never get back.
Are we going to implant false memories in individuals and make them "testify" ?
mkmyers45: False memories have been implanted into mice, scientists say.
A team was able to make the mice wrongly associate a benign environment with a previous unpleasant experience from different surroundings.
The researchers conditioned a network of neurons to respond to light, making the mice recall the unpleasant environment.
Reporting in Science, they say it could one day shed light into how false memories occur in humans.
The brains of genetically engineered mice were implanted with optic fibres in order to deliver pulses of light to their brain. Known as optogenetics, this technique is able to make individual neurons respond to light.
Our memory changes every single time it's being recorded. That's why we can incorporate new information into old memories and this is how a false memory can form...”
Dr Xu Liu Massachusetts Institute of Technology
Just like in mice, our memories are stored in collections of cells, and when events are recalled we reconstruct parts of these cells - almost like re-assembling small pieces of a puzzle.
It has been well documented that human memory is highly unreliable, first highlighted by a study on eyewitness testimonies in the 70s. Simple changes in how a question was asked could influence the memory a witness had of an event such as a car crash.
When this was brought to public attention, eyewitness testimonies alone were no longer used as evidence in court. Many people wrongly convicted on memory statements were later exonerated by DNA evidence.
Xu Liu of the RIKEN-MIT Center for Neural Circuit Genetics and one the lead authors of the study, said that when mice recalled a false memory, it was indistinguishable from the real memory in the way it drove a fear response in the memory forming cells of a mouse's brain.
A mouse was put in one environment (blue box) and the brain cells encoding memory were labelled in this environment (white circles) These cells were then made responsive to light The animal was placed in a different environment (the red box) and light was delivered into the brain to activate these labelled cells This induced the recall of the first environment - the blue box. While the animal was recalling the first environment, they also received mild foot shocks Later when the mouse was put back into the first environment, it showed behavioural signs of fear, indicating it had formed a false fear memory for the first environment, where it was never shocked in reality
The mouse is the closest animal scientists can easily use to analyse the brain, as though simpler, its structure and basic circuitry is very similar to the human brain.
Studying neurons in a mouse's brain could therefore help scientists further understand how similar structures in the human brain work.
"In the English language there are only 26 letters, but the combinations of letters make unlimited words and sentences, this is also true for memories," Dr Liu told BBC News.
Evolving memories
"There are so many brain cells and for each individual memory, different combinations of small populations of cells are activated."
These differing combinations of cells could partly explain why memories are not static like a photograph, but constantly evolving, he added.
"If you want to grab a specific memory you have to get down into the cell level. Every time we think we remember something, we could also be making changes to that memory - sometimes we realise sometimes we don't," Dr Liu explained.
"Our memory changes every single time it's being 'recorded'. That's why we can incorporate new information into old memories and this is how a false memory can form without us realising it."
Susumu Tonegawa, also from RIKEN-MIT, said his teams' work provided the first animal model in which false and genuine memories could be investigated in the cells which store memories, called engram-bearing cells.
"Humans are highly imaginative animals. Just like our mice, an aversive or appetitive event could be associated with a past experience one may happen to have in mind at that moment, hence a false memory is formed." Silencing fear
Neil Burgess from University College London, who was not involved with the work, told BBC News the study was an "impressive example" of creating a fearful response in an environment where nothing fearful happened.
"One day this type of knowledge may help scientists to understand how to remove or reduce the fearful associations experienced by people with conditions like post traumatic stress disorder."
But he added that it's only an advance in "basic neuroscience" and that these methods could not be directly applied to humans for many years.
"But basic science always helps in the end, and it may be possible, one day, to use similar techniques to silence neurons causing the association to fear." 'Diseases of thought'
Mark Mayford of the Scripps Research Institute in San Diego, US, said: "The question is, how does the brain change with experience? That's the heart of everything the brain does.
He explained that work like this could one day further help us to understand the structure of our thoughts and the cells involved.
"Then one can begin to look at those brain circuits, see how they change, and hopefully find the areas or mechanisms that change with learning."
"The implications are potentially interventions for diseases of thought such as schizophrenia. You cannot approach schizophrenia unless you know how a perception is put together."

la_unique: Nasa has released photos of the Earth and Moon taken by a spacecraft orbiting Saturn - nearly a billion miles away. Our planet and its only satellite appear only as dots in the picture, which was taken by the Cassini spacecraft on 19 July. Scientists wanted to pay homage to the "Pale Blue Dot" image captured by the Voyager 1 probe in 1990. This was the first time people knew in advance that their long distance picture was being taken. As part of the event launched by Nasa, people were asked to wave in what Carolyn Porco, who leads Cassini's camera team, described as an "interplanetary cosmic photo session". "It thrills me no end that people all over the world took a break from their normal activities to go outside and celebrate the interplanetary salute between robot and maker that these images represent," said Dr Porco, from the Space Science Institute in Boulder, Colorado. The wide-angle image is part of a larger mosaic - or multi-image portrait - that imaging scientists are putting together of the entire Saturn system. Pictures of Earth from the outer Solar System are rare because, from that distance, Earth is very close to the bright Sun. Just as a person can damage their retina by looking directly at the Sun, a camera's sensitive detectors can be damaged by the bright rays. These images were taken when the sun had moved behind the planet Saturn from the spacecraft's point of view, blocking out most of the light.
In the first picture, the Earth is seen along with its only satellite the moon. In the second picture our planet appears as a tiny blue dot below Saturn's magnificient rings

aniiii: African yam/ Sweet Potato: African Yam and Sweet Potato plays an important role in lowering blood pressure. They provide a good source of vitamin B-6. This vitamin is important in protecting blood vessels from damage. Vitamin B-6 breaks down a material known as homocysteine, which increases the risk of medical conditions such as heart attacks and strokes.
