skydancer: viruses and sophrology

@Minute: It's silly to say one should volunteer at a rape center.
Some christians who these things happen to just resort to blaming God, some to neglecting Him. Whether you remove the child or not, the stigma would never leave you. Bearing the child is for God's sake and most good things in life are done for God's sake. Just pray that satan will never use it to tempt you coz I don't think sin is conditional.

As you said. It's quite a difficult one to decide. To tell you the truth, If I was a girl who it happened to:

1. I will never marry again
2. I will raise the child as my own
3. I will do my utmost to ensure that he does not go bad like his father
4. I will tell her right from birth how she was born and make her realize that I truly love her and that it does not matter to me how she was born. Everything that happens to those who have faith and trust in God is just GOD"S WILL.

@Bobby: This is just exactly why I included you. Here I confesses I am already learning it, but you wouldn't even see the very thing you included in your quote The wise learns as well as sharing ideas, but many people who have argued with you can confess that you never agree. You just divert.

@Buda atum, Yes indeed. I have seen it on facebook before but I just didn't know it was this much on nairaland. Anyway just stick to viewing other's opinions. It actually makes me stronger and my 'opponents' take credit for that. As for me if anyone can really convince me that there is no need to believe in God or that Christianity is no the true way to God, I will simply drop it for real I truly don't find any joy in 'following the crowd'.

@David: Indeed! Show me pls

Most people that write in this religous forum confirm outright that they are fanatics. They express no desire to learn and always continue to repeat the same thing. Nobody ever agrees he is wrong. Adoption of extremely harsh words, quoting, writing unexhaustible list of insignificant boondoggle and sarcasm is the language. And I must confess that I almost learnt it. The aim of discussion boards is to share ideas not verbal contest please. People like Abuzola, Bobbyaff and Ogaga who always continue to dance to the tune of maniacal idiosyncrasy are typical examples.

Bobbyaf:
Oh Skydancer o

People are seeing you for who you really are. You claim to be able to defend Catholicism and its many errors, and yet you can't even honestly answer some simple questions posed to you.

What a disgrace!

Is that all?

There is no way to to tell that all these guys are not goofs. How can one list certifications that total more than 100 years. This could have been a very good opportunity for programmers but it is definitely misused here. Mr. h4rdc0d3d, looks like you got something. Do you know C++ or C#. Since you know assembly, I believe you will have a basic background in api programming. I will like to know how much you really know and how what you actually intend to do. I may have something for you

Computer Security is an extremely vast area, so it depends on what you want. You can specialize in software security, operating system security, hardware security, network security, e.t.c. You didn't specify what you already know. As for OS security, you should know C++, ATL or MFC, though C++ will be most preferable as it is included in Visual Studio. It provides an easy communication to core system operations. Precisely because most of the microsoft system files were written in C++. The only way to communicate with these dlls in another language is through api calls which is not so advisable.

Actually there is definitely no best antivirus I know yet. This is because Antiviruses mainly use virus signatures to detect viruses. As such, it is as if the Antivirus company with the largest database of Antivirus is the best. AVG sometimes has the highest virus database. Kaspersky once topped too. McAfee has never topped since they topped in 2002. Norton is known for its smart heuristics. Kaspersky also has nice malware counter technologies like ichecker, e.t.c. As for me, I don't use AntiViruses, and I can assure you that a virus has never entered and can never enter my system without my permission. I am the kernel of my PC.   I dance on the sky

I have a sony ericsson and I usually have problem browsing because I don't have a way to end the connection after loading each page. What do you guys do??

Many people claim they have been revealed that doom is coming to Nigeria. This is a little contrary to the prophecies of Nigeria in 2009(I have forgotten the author) who prophesied that it was a year of happiness and judgement. I do not believe God still punish people for their acts like in the old testament. What I feel is a sense of insecurity in nearly every Nigeria. Has anyone also gotten revealations about this kind of it. I just hope it is not the 666 thing. There are still too many Christians for that to happen.

Hello Bobby. Check out https://www.nairaland.com/nigeria/topic-298615.0.html and stop making noise.

That's not yoga. It is called OBE and the begininning level is quite simple yet much more. Yet many do not believe it. My friend once used it to project and do some bad things but it can also be used for good things. There are so many places you can get books on it but I think the best is "Astral Projection, A complete guide" I downloaded it from scribd, so you will have to register first before you can download it. The book does not got to start bothering you about the planes or how they were discovered and stuffs like that. It just goes straight to the thing and gives you what you want. Normal astral projection does not require the soul actually living the body, it means projecting one's spirit with the mind to wherever the person wants. It is a very good practice because it develops your mind powers. I have something to change your life today. Check out "Mind Powers, How to use and Controly your mind". The book teaches most of the mind power things like telepathy, which I have learnt, alpha mind control, distant healing and so on. There is no need of DVDs, though scientists have also developed a kind of high frequency tune that keeps the mind out of sequence and therefore helps to reach OBE more quickly. Many people are having the experiences already.

Yoga is about meditation and is simplya practice by some budhhist monks, mainly of chinese origin. We also have many other forms of meditations like the popular zen meditation. However, the mordern day meditation is much simpler and is for what it is. Any one that meditates enjoys a more stress free and understandable life. If you are not doing it, better start today. It is good for you. Some of these are the advantages:

* Physical health, such as lowering blood pressure
* Mental health, such as lowering stress levels
* Spiritual growth, such as seeking a closer connection to life

One man said the best way to succeed in any goal is to meditate on the goal.

Well we don't know whether it is the real mark yet. It may be, but I know the end times are coming. It is a time Christians will be persecuted for Christ's sake. Chrisitanity is dying so fast and occultism is replacing it. Let's continue proclaiming the gospel, Bleep

Crazy guy from the middle of the earth

I finally know why Abuzola is said to be a fool. I misjudged
Abuzola try and start meditation like a good islam. Discard your inborn beliefs and recieve the world as it is. You have one life to live and many chances to change.

Ha ha. You believe the Bible was written under the guidance of the Holy Spirit because it was written in the Bible. I can't help laughing. I don't have time for such riduclous things. If you feel up to it, explain to me what idolatory is according to the Bible Mr. Bible Freak.

Alas, I thought I will get a reasonable answer this time, you have asked your questions and they've all bean answered. You are just too biased to see it. I wonder what's the wink's for? If you ask me why I believe the Holy Mother is in heaven, I can as well ask you why you believe that the Bible was written under the guidance of the Holy Spirit. When next you pray, pray to God to give you wisdom to understand the Bible. I have answered all your questions but you have not answered any of mine. That clearly tells you are just biased.

Rubbish! Nigerians will never change! chuksbook it's your fault. It is as if you want to make money from it, "What you recieve free, give free." Well am not sure you recieved it free but you should have given them a free link. The secret is is a simple psychological idea that works throughout the universe. It is not evil in anyway because it works with the set laws of nature which God has set. One of the people that wrote it is a pastor and they all believe in God. Every single person needs to watch it but not everyone will. Everyone who has watched it knows how nice it is. It elaborates on how positive thinking works, the key to shining in life is to understand how everything you apply works. One of those who wrote it is a very rich man and has a big company, but you will also tell me why some barren pastors can pray for some and they get children or why some herbalists can make some get money why they are poorer than goats. Here's a link for the book and the movie for those interested

@Tudor:   I thought you should be airing your views. Don't hide behind words. There is nothing like 'vs.' here. An argument is a reason that somebody uses to show that somethings is correct(Oxford). And in case u're half-blind read the topic again, sorry for adopting harsh words though

@GenGenius: I like guys like you that make very good use of words and chances. You said rightly that the angel of God was intercepted, not david's angel, but you didn't disprove that we all have guardian angels or say why some are allowed to see God and some are not. You also didn't tell me where others except Moses, Elijah and Enoch went. These three are known exceptions. And you say I am ignorant of the Bible yet it is written in the Bible that it was Christ that released those who died righteously before He came. It was Christ that reconciled God and man. And also Christ has no reason to pray through anyone because He was the Son of God. We believe in the communiion of the saints because Christ discussed with them. There was no way they would have came down if He did not communicate with them, but there is also no need of praying through a saint if you are spiritually clean. I do not know how the apostles said their prayers for I never heard they said the Lord's prayer. Whether they believed in the communion of the saints, I do not know but I told you the reason why we do.
As for the Bible , I find it funny when you say I should be ashamed. What do you think the controversy about the Bible was. It is said by so many people and is a largely held debate that the Bible is altered and so many scriptures are not included in it. Emperor constantinople was said to have removed anything that contradicted things done in those old days. There are so many lost scriptures, and there are even those that are not lost, yet they are not included in the Bible. What I simply mean by saying that they did not use the Bible is that they did not use the compiled Book we use today which you are so attached too, yet am sure you have not read up to 10 books of the lost scriptures and you think you are sure you know everything that need to be in the Bible.
I do not like repeating myslef so I won't tell a biased mind what we do with statues for a second time. Read it!
As for your last comment, Let me correct myself "It probably started after that". Thank you for defining venial sins in a more conscise way for me. Venial sins are sins that are not done willfully. Not when you vent willfully or when you lust willfully. Those are what we call venial sins. As for it being 'self-gratifying logic'. I was not given a brain to continue remaining a dunce. God loves those who love wisdom. It was man under the believed guidance of the Holy Spirit that wrote the Bible. Likewise it was man under the guidance of the Holy Spirit that wrote the longest aged catholic doctrine in the faithful church that the Devil wants to wrestle down. Go ahead and talk against the catholic church when you have finished reading my message, for my work is to tell you and not to force you to believe. It is the will of God to make one's heart understand. As I said earlier, dissension does not come from God. So if your church was formed by dissension from the catholic church, it's up to you to do the right thing. You probably do not respect the mother of Christ in anyway neither do you do the consecration frequently so are you the people that do God's will? No wonder you are called protestants. I am not against anyone who is not against us, just sorry

So, when Christ taught you about prayer, he said you should pray using the rosary or through Mary or "guardian angels"?

When the disciples gathered in the Upper Room to receive the Holy Ghost, Mary the mother of Jesus was among them, was she using her name to pray and were the apostles praying through her?

You are clearly among those that block their minds and prefer to stay biased when reading things. You sound as if you don't believe we have guardian angels and as if it is not our guardian angel that carries our prayers to God. Well in Daniels, his prayers were intercepted by the prince of persia and did not reach God for three days. Mary in the Bible whom I believe is now in heaven was still on earth so why do you ask me such a question. We pray through saints simply because we believe that they are in heaven, and we also believe in the communion of the saints.

If you claim to be followers of Christ, can you show me anywhere in the Bible where Jesus or any his disciples (including Peter whom you call the first "pope" used graven images in worship?

Something's definitely blinding you if you cannot even see what I wrote. If you want to argue contradict me. Even peter did not use a Bible. The Bible was written years after he had died, mind you. And I clearly stated why we have statues. WE DO NOT WORSHIP STATUES!

It doesn't mention those who existed before then or after it. It never says anyone will go to purgatory; yet you continue to deceive your congregation with it. May God have mercy on you all

Thanks for reminding me of this one.
Tell me where the righteous people who died before heaven was opened were staying. They stayed in their tombs because it was not written in the Bible?? The catholic church also has a word for that, "Limbo". It is beleived that's were Christ said He was going after He died and went to release them. Likewise in the Bible both in Romans 2:6 It was also said that "God will render each one according to His works. Since we believe that anyone condemned to hell is eternally condemneed to hell, and anyone has a little stain of sin cannot enter the kingdom of heaven and that God will render everyone according to his works. We believe that one who dies with a venial sin such as anger, hatred, impure thoughts, e.t.c., which are called venial because man is prone to them will not go to hell, but to a place where he will be purified before entering heaven. This place were the person suffers is where we call purgatory - "to purge". It started after someone believed to have been in purgatory got a trance from a dead person saying: They should continue praying for him, that he has been suffering.

@Lady. I clearly understand you now. I can't imagine these Bobbyyaff spends all his time rigmaroling and ranting about the Catholic church with biased misjudged arguments. When I entered this forum I was expecting some valid arguments but instead I recieved helpless and fearful replies like

"I am not here to win. God is the winner when truth is revealed and accepted. Jesus said, "If you love me keep my commandments", John 14:15

You cannot have it both ways. You cannot freely disobey God's instructions, and at the same time claim to have a relationship with Him."

That's one of the craziest replies I have ever recieved arguing with anybody. It does not present any point, neither does it prove any thing. To my embarassment, I was expecting a sound reply and for him to tell me about their doctrine that I have heard so many people criticize.

I will explain a little about Christianity for this outsiders that are so interested and for catholics that their faith sits on the wind, waiting for it to blow, yet afraid of the storm.

I have been reading so many threads on this religious forums that I don't even know how to reply every single person that say all sorts of things against the catholic church. I will start by addressing all their entry points one by one starting from Idolatory.

Concerning Idolatory: Idolatory is a largely misunderstood concept that has gone of the true meaning in the old days when God was far from humans. Idolatory wast typically the making of carved images by people and worshipping them as God and neglecting the true God. This was clearly shown in Exodus 32:7 when the Lord said to Moses "Go, get down! For your people whom you brought out of Egypt have corrupted themselves. They have turned aside quickly out of the way which I commanded them. They have made themselves a molded calf, and worshipped it, and sacrificed to it. This was exactly the idol worship done that God hated. Today statues are made everywhere to remember great men. Starting from Nigeria which has a statue of Zik and so many other great men. This statues are made for mere remembrance by people who love them. In the same way, statues are made in the catholic church for the same purpose. I have never seen anyone worshipping or sacrificing to any statue as his/her god or even God. Apart from that, remember that God is everywhere and in everyone, but He cannot certainly be in one possessed by demons neither can He be in unholy places. Jesus preferred going to lonely places to pray. Places where no one has defiled. Places that are natural. This is exactly why chapels and grottos are built. The provide a holy place for us to pray. Where we are most certainly sure that God is present.
Also catholics worship the blessed sacrament, because they believe God is there. If you can remember Exodus 25:8. God said "Let them make Me a sanctuary, that I amy dwell among them." And He gave them instructions. This was carried on and it was only priests that were allowed to Go into the sanctuary which was separated from the people by a curtain. But when Jesus died, this curtain was torn showing that the blockage between God and Man had been broken. The Sanctuary was now for everyone to see. It is the same sanctuary that only the catholic church preserves and has up to this day. We still believes God is present there as He has always been. We adore Him in Benediction. And we remember Him daily by repeating the breaking of the bread  as He did in the Bible. Remember that before Christ died He told them to do this in memory of Him,, and that it will not be given its true meaning until he eats and drinks with us in Heaven. Each time he appeared to the disciples He repeated it showing us how frequently it should be done. It's such a shame that others who separated themselves from the catholic church don't do this, but I do not blame them because confusion or separation is never from God.

Concerning the Holy Mother: I sometimes find it amusing when someone tells me that their is no where in the Bible that says we should pray to the Holy Mother or rather a more absurd statement that the Chaplet is demonic.  It is clearly written in the Bible that the woman shall crush the head of the serpent, this is why her statues is popularly made with her standing on the head of a serpent. She was the source of the victory against the devil and as in revealations 12:13 "When the dragon saw that he had been cast down to earth, he persecuted the woman who gave birth to the male Child". Praying is simply defined as communicating with God. Hardly anyone talks directly to God. We all pray and our guardian angel carries our prayers to the Lord. In some translations of the Bible like NIV which agnlican bishops use, Jesus said "If you do not become like these little children, you can by no means enter the kingdom of heaven for their angels see the face of God daily". This tell us why God does not easily hear the prayers of a sinner. For his angel does not see the face of God. It is usually our angel that carries our prayers to God. Even the angel carrying david's prayer was stopped. We can also pray through others like the Holy Mother or a known Saint. Who may carry our prayer to God. We make statues to remember them as loved ones. And we pray through them.

Concerning those who doubt the sonship of Christ: I find it funny when someone says that Christ is not the son of God and funnier seeing them base their claims on the Bible. This is just like saying that a volkswagen is not a car that it is a volkswagen. Christ  never came in public to say that He was the Son of God before the time of His death came. But he told it to His disciples. Also He told Pilate but said nothing to Herod. He never said it before His time because He knew they would  take it as blasphemy which was probably not God wanted. It had been prophesied that a Messiah would come. All the prophecies about the Messiah were fulfilled in Christ and that was exactly the way we were supposed to know. If you worry how a man was the God and yet the Son of God on earth, you will never get anywhere without the wisdom of God, for it is a mystery in our sight.

Concerning those that say the Chaplet is demonic or not supposed to be used:
This is a bit related to the case of giving due respect to the Holy Mother as the Mother of our saviour. The Chaplet was believedly handed over a saint as a guide for us to pray that souls in hell will be released. The praying of the rosary is something done by every known saint. It has saved so many people that went astray and also saved so many people from occultism and demonic bondages. I therefore find it absurd for people to say that it is demonic. The Bible clearly says that "a kingdom can never be divided against itself". There is absolutely no way satan will provide a tool that wrests people away from his chains!

Concerning those that say we do things not in the Bible:
You cannot tell me that what the disciples were doing where things they read from the Bible. We all have brains. And most also have consience. Before you read the Bible, you knew what was right and what was wrong. Anything that is not against the conscience is morally right. And that's why we have it. You can see your conscience as the communication between you and your guardian angel. YOur guardian angel can never mislead you for his work is to guide and protect you. Most choose to strain the communication between them and their guardian angel, thus being able to remain adamant to the truth and knowingly blocking their mind reception of whatever they do not want to hear like some who are reading this will be doing now.

Cocenring those who say there is nothing like Purgatory:
Tell me where the righteous people who died before heaven was opened were staying. They stayed in their tombs because it was not written in the Bible?? The catholic church also has a word for that, "Limbo". It is beleived that's were Christ said He was going after He died and went to release them. Likewise in the Bible both in Romans 2:6 It was also said that "God will render each one according to His works. Since we believe that anyone condemned to hell is eternally condemneed to hell, and anyone has a little stain of sin cannot enter the kingdom of heaven and that God will render everyone according to his works. We believe that one who dies with a venial sin such as anger, hatred, impure thoughts,  e.t.c., which are called venial because man is prone to them will not go to hell, but to a place where he will be purified before entering heaven. This place were the person suffers is where we call purgatory - "to purge". It started after someone believed to have been in purgatory got a trance from a dead person saying: They should continue praying for him, that he has been suffering.

I don't want to go against non-catholics for Christ said, if one is not against us, he is for us. But let me remind you that Peter was the first pope of the Catholic church, and that Christ had same to him. "On you Peter I build my church. The gate of hades shall not open it. To you I give the key of the kingdom of heaven. Everything you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, "

Lady, it's not so nice to write with such temper. We're all christians. Remember proverbs 26:5 says Do not talk to a fool lest he thinks you be like him, yet verse 6 tells you to talk to a fool lest he thinks he's wise. We must act according to wits. This sabbath people all think this way, so It's your job to show them love by answering their questions and revealing to them their wrongs. That's why I told him to tell me about their doctrine so that I pin point their fallacies on-the-fly.
