May his Memory be Eternal May his Memory be a Blessing May he find mercy in Judgement And find the fulness of the light of God's face Requiescat in Pace "1.But the souls of the upright are in the hands of God, and no torment can touch them. 2.To the unenlightened, they appeared to die, their departure was regarded as disaster, 3.their leaving us like annihilation; but they are at peace. 4.If, as it seemed to us, they suffered punishment, their hope was rich with immortality; 5.slight was their correction, great will their blessings be. God was putting them to the test and has proved them worthy to be with him; he has tested them like gold in a furnace, and accepted them as a perfect burnt offering. 7.At their time of visitation, they will shine out; as sparks run through the stubble, so will they. 8.They will judge nations, rule over peoples, and the Lord will be their king for ever. 9.Those who trust in him will understand the truth, those who are faithful will live with him in love; for grace and mercy await his holy ones, and he intervenes on behalf of his chosen."

An Cuba is complaining because such embargo amounts to economic sabatage, it is the same thing France did to African countries that refused to accept the French franc. It is truly unfortunate that an African will support economic imperialism, the very tool that the west uses in colonialising Africa in their neo-colonialist aims. 1 Like |

I am sure you know what comparism is and how it work. the my tribe is the best tribe mentality is the very root cause of the tribalism and ethnic nepotism we have in Nigeria, it is the invitation of intertribal jealousy and the very thing that come before tribal conflict. I will assume from your username that you are Igbo, that very sentiments are what causes misunderstanding among tribes Nnaworo: There is this pride associated with the Igbo tribe which is not seen in other tribes- [b]It takes more to be a Igbo man than to be from other [/b]tribes. You can't afford to live the life of mediocre being Igbo and it comes with a lot of financial pressure- it is this status symbol that makes the lazy ones carry hard drugs to Asia and make the hard working ones being legitimately successful men.

mastermaestro:I think it depends on the culture, I am multi-named and if I check some of my documents the only constant names are my surname and my first name...which is an English name. My mom named me twice, my father named me once and my grandma named me once, and religion added a last one. Those are the middle names that I could use, but in the extnded family everyone who was old enough when I was born is allowed to name me and call me the name he chose. now in my earliest document my middle name has been either of the two selected by my mother... when I was very young she used the name I was called at home and changed it again when I changed school. Fortunately for me, I regulated all that with my primary 6, wassce, bsc, nysc and master all with the same middle name. then i did a local government registration of birth, national population commission birth certificate all reading the same middle name. that way all the documents that matter have the same middle name. I have stopped presented any document that doesn't have the exact 3 official names I currently use. I am from the south-South and my brother probable has a similar problem, he incorporated a new middle name during his wassce... If the guy is from a similar culture, it is probably understandable. |

If you do, they may trample them under their feet, and turn and tear you to pieces. they are admonitions to people! and nothing there mentions religious organisations please stop doing violence to scripture just to claim so dominance for your group The cramped road where you can't switch lanes means the one and only organization of Jesus Christ where you must submit to what is being taught so once you leave you're on the broad road (Christendom churches claiming denominations) where every lane is OK to deceitful people! |

gaelllic:i see that when you lose and argument you go for threats instead. I am happy that you are not God and you will not be my judge on the day of judgement. Christ is my judge. i pray you find the time to remove the boulder in you eyes maybe then you will be able to see the speck you think is in your brother's eyes. I have countered every argument you have presented document for document and I have happily shown how the things you condemn have there roots in catholic teaching that were there even before Vatican II. FIRST VATICAN COUNCIL For no one can be in doubt, indeed it was known in every age that the holy and most blessed Peter, prince and head of the apostles, the pillar of faith and the foundation of the catholic church, received the keys of the kingdom from our lord Jesus Christ, the saviour and redeemer of the human race, and that to this day and for ever he lives and presides and exercises judgment in his successors the bishops of the holy Roman see, which he founded and consecrated with his blood [46] . Therefore whoever succeeds to the chair of Peter obtains by the institution of Christ himself, the primacy of Peter over the whole church. So what the truth has ordained stands firm, and blessed Peter perseveres in the rock-like strength he was granted, and does not abandon that guidance of the church which he once received [47] . For this reason it has always been necessary for every church–that is to say the faithful throughout the world–to be in agreement with the Roman church because of its more effective leadership. In consequence of being joined, as members to head, with that see, from which the rights of sacred communion flow to all, they will grow together into the structure of a single body [48] . Therefore, if anyone says that it is not by the institution of Christ the lord himself (that is to say, by divine law) that blessed Peter should have perpetual successors in the primacy over the whole church; or that the Roman pontiff is not the successor of blessed Peter in this primacy: let him be anathema. I will pray for you who have separated yourself from the Roman pontiff |

gaelllic:it is clear you don't know the difference between a discipline and a dogma. which is a shame, because I would assume that someone who has the effrontery to accuse popes of heresy will know the basics of the Catholic faith See who talks about half-baked knowledge. That publication is not dogma but is immediately contradicted what you claimed was a dogma. That should tell you, if you had any knowledge of how the church works that it was a discipline which was cancelling another discipline. in case you can't read this was before Vatican II, so you can't blame Vatican ii for this. A discipline is subject to change and the discipline on ecumenical gatherings set by pius xi was modify in thee reign of pius xii. Anyone who is intelligent in Catholic matters will know that this is a feature of disciplines, they can be modified and changed just as this one was. It was not a dogma (ii.) The simple issuance by the Curia of a document does not confer the infallibility of the reigning Pope upon it. For that to happen the Pope in question would have to approve it in forma specifica (I hope you know what that means) and not just generally. This also applied to theological textbooks, Canon Law compilations etcif you are talking about infallibility then even the earlier encyclicals you have been quoting to support your opinions are not infallible documents. So if you are going to claim something is dogma then you have to provide a papal ex cathedra declaration or the pronouncement of an ecumenical council (iii.) All this notwithstanding, the very document you cite says:On the contrary, it shows that the discipline by Pius XI was modified by Pius XII proving clearly that it was a discipline and that discipline was further modified by Vatican II council. v. The very document you cite puts the word 'union' in quote marks. As well as the word 'ecumenical' ('oecumenica'). Since the writer(s) did not intend to show quotations or dialogue or word-as-a-word identification, those quotation marks were obviously being used as scare quotes.Again you are shifting quotes around. that is not the full story. (Rom. 2:13-16): For it is not the hearers of the law who are righteous before God, but the doers of the law who will be justified. When Gentiles who have not the law do by nature what the law requires, they are a law to themselves, even though they do not have the law. They show that what the law requires is written on their hearts, while their conscience also bears witness and their conflicting thoughts accuse or perhaps excuse them on that day when, according to my gospel, God judges the secrets of men by Christ Jesus. Pius IX. Singulari Quidem. AD 1856. ‘This hope of salvation is placed in the Catholic Church which, in preserving the true worship, is the solid home of this faith and the temple of God. Outside of the Church, nobody can hope for life or salvation unless he is excused through ignorance beyond his control.' Quanto Conficiamur Moerore Pope BI. Pius IX - 186 There are, of course, those who are struggling with invincible ignorance about our most holy religion. Sincerely observing the natural law and its precepts inscribed by God on all hearts and ready to obey God, they live honest lives and are able to attain eternal life by the efficacious virtue of divine light and grace. Because God knows, searches and clearly understands the minds, hearts, thoughts, and nature of all, his supreme kindness and clemency do not permit anyone at all who is not guilty of deliberate sin to suffer eternal punishments. That is called the doctrine of Invincible ignorance and it works together with the doctrine of "outside the church there is no salvation" as stated by pope Eugene. The catholic church does not anathematize the invincibly ignorant even if he/she is a non-catholic holding contrary views to the church. Don't you get it? i) Again you are wrong, unless you are God who is able to judge the heart and know for a fact who is or isnt invincibly ignorant then you can't make absolute statements. Pius XII is clear that non-catholics who are invincible ignorant receive divine light and grace. they may not share all the sacraments or the fullness of the catholic faith, but they possess divine grace, that is how they are our brothers. by a sharing the the grace of God. ii) Each of the ecclesia communities have its own distinctive features. even within the catholic church eastern catholicism has distinctive features from western catholicism, and even in western catholicism monasticism has distinctive features from the lay state. your comments is factually incorrect. iii) the absoluteness of your statements always betray you. active communion in sacris is prohibited but that doesn't imply that every prayer with non-catholics is thereby prohibited. yet the recitation in common of the Lord's Prayer or of some prayer approved by the Catholic Church, is not forbidden for opening or closing the said meetings. De Motione ‘Oecumenica iv) According to papal documents you are wrong again, you were the one who first quoted the discipline noted by pope pius xi but it seems you didn't read his work the is such a thing as the promotion of union of christian for the union of Christians can only be promoted by promoting the return to the one true Church of Christ of those who are separated from it, for in the past they have unhappily left it. MORTALIUM ANIMO ENCYCLICAL OF POPE PIUS XI Hoping that the unity (not the population) of the Church continues to increase?the same way i hold that the church is holy even though I know that her members sin. her holiness is found in Christ and his sacraments and graces. So too the church is one even though she is divided by schisms. Her oneness is found in Christ who is able to unite men to himself and his grace, even those whose invincible ignorance prevent them from fully accepting the catholic church. "...Furthermore, the eminence of the Church arises from its unity, as the principle of its constitution - a unity surpassing all else, and having nothing like unto it or equal to it" (S. Clemens Alexandrinus,..."i think people like you fail to understand the vatican ii council that is why you would state that it isn't a catholic council. Vatican ii was very conscious to keep every catholic dogma intact. On the issue of praying with no-Catholics it kept the prohibition on active communio in sacris like all other popes and councils. But it also kept passive prayer in common with non-Catholics which was already allowed before vatican ii by pope pius xii and extended that part. but everything that has to do with dogma and divine law is well preserved in Vatican ii which is why i will laugh at anyone who claims that Vatican ii is not a catholic council. "Canon law" promulgated by Antipopes?YOu do not have authority to judge a pope. the first see is judged by no one. What manner of blathering is this?maybe you can try quoting the full paragraph at least 25.We confess together that sinners are justified by faith in the saving action of God in Christ. By the action of the Holy Spirit in baptism, they are granted the gift of salvation, which lays the basis for the whole Christian life. They place their trust in God's gracious promise by justifying faith, which includes hope in God and love for him. Such a faith is active in love and thus the Christian cannot and should not remain without works. But whatever in the justified precedes or follows the free gift of faith is neither the basis of justification nor merits it. 26.According to Lutheran understanding, God justifies sinners in faith alone (sola fide). In faith they place their trust wholly in their Creator and Redeemer and thus live in communion with him. God himself effects faith as he brings forth such trust by his creative word. Because God's act is a new creation, it affects all dimensions of the person and leads to a life in hope and love. In the doctrine of "justification by faith alone," a distinction but not a separation is made between justification itself and the renewal of one's way of life that necessarily follows from justification and without which faith does not exist. Thereby the basis is indicated from which the renewal of life proceeds, for it comes forth from the love of God imparted to the person in justification. Justification and renewal are joined in Christ, who is present in faith. 27.The Catholic understanding also sees faith as fundamental in justification. For without faith, no justification can take place. Persons are justified through baptism as hearers of the word and believers in it. The justification of sinners is forgiveness of sins and being made righteous by justifying grace, which makes us children of God. In justification the righteous receive from Christ faith, hope, and love and are thereby taken into communion with him.[14] This new personal relation to God is grounded totally on God's graciousness and remains constantly dependent on the salvific and creative working of this gracious God, who remains true to himself, so that one can rely upon him. Thus justifying grace never becomes a human possession to which one could appeal over against God. While Catholic teaching emphasizes the renewal of life by justifying grace, this renewal in faith, hope, and love is always dependent on God's unfathomable grace and contributes nothing to justification about which one could boast before God (Rom 3:27) But as I said, his approval wasn't limited to the role of faith, so let's check out some other heresies in the 'JDLJ':.When Catholics say that persons "cooperate" in preparing for and accepting justification by consenting to God's justifying action, they see such personal consent as itself an effect of grace, not as an action arising from innate human abilities. 21.According to Lutheran teaching, human beings are incapable of cooperating in their salvation, because as sinners they actively oppose God and his saving action. Lutherans do not deny that a person can reject the working of grace. When they emphasize that a person can only receive (mere passive) justification, they mean thereby to exclude any possibility of contributing to one's own justification, but do not deny that believers are fully involved personally in their faith, which is effected by God's Word. Or how about:lol, you think any kind of work, whether under grace or not strictly merits justification? When Lutherans emphasize that the righteousness of Christ is our righteousness, their intention is above all to insist that the sinner is granted righteousness before God in Christ through the declaration of forgiveness and that only in union with Christ is one's life renewed. When they stress that God's grace is forgiving love ("the favor of God"[12]), they do not thereby deny the renewal of the Christian's life. They intend rather to express that justification remains free from human cooperation and is not dependent on the life-renewing effects of grace in human beings. 24.When Catholics emphasize the renewal of the interior person through the reception of grace imparted as a gift to the believer,[13] they wish to insist that God's forgiving grace always brings with it a gift of new life, which in the Holy Spirit becomes effective in active love. They do not thereby deny that God's gift of grace in justification remains independent of human cooperation. -JDLJ and the gratuitousness of justification is also held by the council of Trent. Nothing the precede justification, whether it is works done in grace or not, nothing that precede justification can merit the grace of justification, because justification is totally grace. CHAPTER VIII: HOW THE GRATUITOUS JUSTIFICATION OF THE SINNER BY FAITH IS TO BE UNDERSTOOD But when the Apostle says that man is justified by faith and freely,[44] these words are to be understood in that sense in which the uninterrupted unanimity of the Catholic Church has held and expressed them, namely, that we are therefore said to be justified by faith, because faith is the beginning of human salvation, the foundation and root of all justification, without which it is impossible to please God and to come to the fellowship of His sons; and we are therefore said to be justified gratuitously, because none of those things that precede justification, whether faith or works, merit the grace of justification. For, if by grace, it is not now by works, otherwise, as the Apostle says, grace is no more grace.- Council of Trent. See?here again you have shown you lack of understanding of basic text. this is why I always repeat that half knowledge is the most dangerous |
