I never said she wrote a book, it says she raised two million dollars to pay for the souls to get out of purgatory, but purgatory has got to do with your Church, listen to the priest video, this may help you understand what purgatory is, and how one breaks free, purgatory runs side by side with the tithing lie, it's all about money..
there is no tithing lie there, nobody is paying tithe to anyone, i just did a quick look up on susan tassone, nobody told her to bring money for priest, she one her own organised 2mil for 400,000 mass worldwide. that means given a priest $5 only as stipend to add ur intentions specifically at mass.

Nobody is making profit of megre $5. I'm pretty surprised dis is what u are happing about.

Thanks u last Submission though....there is no part where the cbn official inferred that money came from "arms money" mind u he is a prosecuton witness his submission might hurt the case... but thanks for a nice Civil discussion
Dont know how this will help the prosecution see below
I also thank u for keeping it civil. the witness didnt say 'arms money' that is what d prosecution will prove, they wil also need to prove dat dokpesi didnt render any service to d nsa but instead to jonathan's campaign and that dokpesi knowingly receive campaign funds from d national account. the testimony shows d chain of funds disbursement it doesnt hurt d case. d testimony also absolves d cbn of wrong doing.

Uben you should know better then lie against the truth Nov 4 2011 Susan's Tassone's passion is to get people out of purgatory, since the Catholic Church accepts money author raises two million to get souls out of purgatory.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e3xRFNegcko
I dont know any susan, she isnt a priest or a pope, If she made money by writting a book on doctrine then she deserves the money. she wrote and people bought, that has nothing to do with d church, i can write a book on d trinity and make money from it, there is nothing wrong with that.
The church didnt say u must listen or by susan book nor wil u find priest asking people to bring money for purgatory today. so i dont know hw u can claim dat the church is making money today by teaching purgatory.

It was not cash....it was paid into a bank account with a payment instruction and description. seriously, this case was not handled well....his lawyers has laid a foundation for successful case...he rendered a service to the NSA office and was paid
D issue u havent noticed is that he didnt render any service to d nsa, he render services to pdp campaign and got paid by d nsa.

Well i know central bank does not Evaluate contracts, but there is no way CB will not go through the paper trail of the contract before paying 2 billion naira....it not A small amount. ....and if they are satisfied that mean the Nigerian state through it central bank is paying Dokpesi for doing a legitmate business. ... but let wait for the court .
the cbn doesnt need to follow paper trails, it isnt an investigative institution, it is a bank, the account belongs to the nsa and he signed and confirmed that the money should be given to dopkesi. The disbursing protocols were followed. But it isnt d work of cbn to check d legality of d contract. Infact d cbn guy simply absolved the cbn from crime. He is clearly telling us that dokpesi received arms money from d nsa, that point has been established. The testimony only helps d case.

Did read the Report? ...Who is on trial? The court case here is about Dokpesi receiving illegal money through the Office of the dsa...central bank said the contracts followed due process. .. so how is Dokpesi culpabable....let wait for the judgment..
Central bank does not evaluate contract, they disburse and keep fund, what d cbn guy said is that the cbn followed due process in disbursing d fund, all disbursement protocol were followed, the got d letter granting dokpesi d money and confirmed it. they didnt say d contract was right, they dont evaluate contracts.

It seems you don't get it. Upholding morality and law are two different things. That is one of the reasons why many good cases are lost in court. Whether he knew or not is not the issue since he is just a private business man. Let's assume your state government or local government or even a private firm awards you a contract, are you going to refuse collecting your money after the completion of the services just because you want to know the source of the money?
It is an issue my dear, an employee may receive payment from his employer, mr jonathan employer dokpesis for campaign purposes and then he recieved payment from d nigerian military. it is a crime if he was aware, that isnt morality tha is criminal conspiracy to defraud d federal government

And each time any Christian is persecuted in the faith, it is christ that is suffering n persecuted. Hence he asked Saul why do you persecute me? Acts 9:4-7. Also Catholic do not sacrifice christ again when we celebrate the Holy mass. It is a mystery that is being renewed as often as we celebrate it. I cor. 11:26.

He ha ha, He said bring all you tithes into the storehouse, so My people will be fed. Which of course some will be poor, needy and hungry, those who can survive they wouldn't need to go to the storehouse for Charity.
A storehouse is where they store food, not in a Church. Churches today a businesses where they collect money, Just another place they buy and sell.

Uben you know the truth? What is so funny is the tithing lies, line up with the purgatory lies, its all about money?
Today nobody collects money from anybody on account of purgatory. hope u know this?

Nope, he kept saying he collected money for the services he rendered. If you employ a labourer to work on your farm and agree to pay him/her certain amount, it's not the concern of the labourer how you get the money. All he needs is to be paid. We can only lay the blame on all those unpatriotic leaders who are gambling with the common wealth of the nation just because they were or are in power. It's quite unfortunate.
The important question is whether or not he knew d money came from d nsa, if he was aware then he can be found guilt of criminal conspiracy.

CBN said it followed due process. ... .. did u read the Report at all ?
the case isn't about whether or not d cbn followed due process in disbursing d money to dansuki (they did, if not they will be prosecuted), the issue is whether or not dansuki knowingly received money meant for arm deals from dansuki. If he did he is guilty, it doesnt matter whether cbn followed due process.

The first Ogiso not Oba was known as Igodo or Obagodo and it wasn't pronounced or written as a title it was his name. Your kings were referred to as ogiso before that, you can only win this arguement if you give me a verifiable reason for the change of title in 1180's.

Archaeologically, the settlement at Ife can be dated to the 4th century BC, with urban structures appearing in the 12th century (the urban phase of Ife before the rise of Oyo, ca. 1100-1600, is sometimes described as a "golden age" of Ife).
I refered to obagodo to show u dat the word oba is a bini word, just as d yorubas have obamakin, obatala, they werent titles per se, they were part of a name jus like obagodo.

Nobody is saying ife came from benin, it is quite possible dat both ife and benin is dated 4th cent ad, d issue is oduduwa, Hope u know oodua met people already in ife when he came? no one is saying benin is d origin of ife and d yorubas but dat oduduwa was a stranger to ife.

True, they lacked the political authority to punish. I think this was true of Jews too though, especially in the diaspora. In Judea I think they Romans gave them some authority to carry out a few punishments of their own, but mostly legal correction was done through the Roman civil system.
true, very true, though i think d jews were notorious for their extra judicial punishments as is related in d attempt to stone the woman who committed adultery, i think that was partly why d roman thought d jews were problematic and hard to rule, they had their own idea of what d law should b and how it should b applied. In the diaspora it was different, they were d minority so they couldnt impose their thoughts on the majority in form of punishments but they usually kept their cultural identity.

D bread and wine BECOMES d body and blood of Christ but he isnt crucified again.
I have a picture of my 5yr birthday does that mean i am perpetually celebrating 5yr birthday? No unles u are ignorant, it simply means it is a significant memory. Jesus dying on d cross is a significant event, infact it is d most significant event in salvation history, we have crucifixes because it depicts a significant event not because Jesus is stil on d cross.

I meant the punishment in the Christian church during the times of the apostles.
The early church didnt have d power to dish out punishments of a civil nature, they simply decleared the heretic 'haram' and decleared them 'anathema' i.e under d curse of God. But if u want to know d just punishment for a heretic then u should read what Jesus say. Mark 9:42 International Version "If anyone causes one of these little ones-- those who believe in me--to stumble, it would be better for them if a large millstone were hung around their neck and they were thrown into the sea.

Luke 17:2
New International Version
It would be better for them to be thrown into the sea with a millstone tied around their neck than to cause one of these little ones to stumble.

this is what Jesus says a heretic deserves, it is similar to what the old testament says on the issue.

The early christians of the first century were Jews and so would have followed the mosaic laws. There was friction due to the teachings of Paul on dietary concerns and such but first century christians still went to synagogue and practiced judaism.
interesting take, though i think punishment of any kind (except maybe excommunication) wouldnt have been posible in apostolic times since xtians were a persecuted bunch who didnt have d power to dish out punishments. I think d inquisition took d who idea of punishment to a whole new level.
