PoliticsRe: Alamieyeseigha's Pardon: Bill Gates Cancels Trip To Nigeria by vanstanzy(m):
mukina2: America’s richest man, Bill Gates, has cancelled his scheduled March 27 official visit to Nigeria, in response to the controversial pardon granted by President Goodluck Jonathan to ex-convicts Diepreye Alamieyeseigha and Shettima Bulama, PREMIUM TIMES can authoritatively report today.

Mr. Gates was due in Nigeria March 27 and 28 to meet President Goodluck Jonathan, state governors and officials of the Federal Ministry of Health concerning the aggressive polio eradication campaign his Bill and Melinda Foundation is undertaking in the country.

That trip, authoritative diplomatic sources said, has now been cancelled, two days after the U.S. government expressed disappointment with its Nigerian counterpart for pardoning convicted money launderers and warned it might cut aid meant for the country.

“I can confirm to you that Mr. Gates won’t be coming as scheduled,” one of our sources told PREMIUM TIMES Monday morning. “The body language of Washington D.C. does not support his travelling to Nigeria. The thinking here is that the Nigerian government has high tolerance level for corruption and should be ostracized in all ways possible.”

Our sources said Mr. Gates has already instructed his staff to inform the Nigerian presidency, the secretariat of the Nigeria Governors’ Forum and the Federal Ministry of Health that he was no longer coming.

Presidential spokesperson, Reuben Abati, did not answer or return calls seeking comment. Contacted, the Director General of the Nigeria Governors’ Forum, Asishana Okauru, said he would have to check with his staff whether any such communication had come from Mr. Gates’ office. He did not answer or return subsequent calls. Mr. Gates’ office is not opened as at the time of this report as calls were unanswered.

But checks by this newspaper indicate that the U.S. government has dissuaded Mr. Gates from coming to Nigeria.

“The State Department has advised him that Nigeria is not conducive for such visit at this time,” another source said. “We hope that the Nigerian government will get the message and return to the path of sanity.”

It probably took each man an average of 1min30secs for the whole show. Notwithstanding, some men can't even cross the

The truth has got to be told though. As a practicing Catholic and born into a Catholic family, i have to say

*i think* some Catholics get it wrong here cause throwing themselves in front of an image can be

seen by all as Idolatry. But again who can judge? when noone can see anothers mind.


When i appear before a Statue of Christ, i close my eyes and try to visualize on the Person of Christ, cos he's the

One am praying to.

Christianity EtcRe: In Defence Of Catholics (Accusation On Worshiping Statues) by vanstanzy(m): 3:50pm On Mar 17, 2013
Thank you brother for opening up such a discussion. I too am a Catholic and find it rather amusing sometimes when other denominations claim we worship statues. I found it even very annoying when someone who is supposed to be a fellow Catholic opened his mouth and claimed Catholics worship Mary and her Statue. Just because he sees women rolling on the ground before the Statue. This is totally wrong, because noone is allowed to worship any other than God Himself. But one thing that friend of mine and people around fail to understand, hitherto some Catholics themselves, is that worship is a thing of the mind and noone can tell anothers mind except God.
To the question of Catholics worshipping statues,

Not at all. It's against the Catholic faith to worship anyone or anything but God.

Catholics do honor Mary - because she followed God's will for her. We understand that all Mary can do comes from God and that she has no power on her own. She is a created being and not divine.

Worship comes from the mind, heart and soul of a person - not from some outward action. Those who insist that what Catholics do has to be worship because it looks like it is to them means that person is setting themselves up at the same level of God. Only God knows a person's heart. This is the exact type of judgement Jesus preaches against in Matt. 1:7 and so the person is going directly against Christ's teachings. It also means that they are spreading gossip about someone else that goes against Pro. 19:5 and Ex 20:16.

False worship is placing someone or something above God. That could money, power, our own convenience. That's far more common type of false worship than praying to Mary. Veneration is honoring someone/something but understanding that it is not equal to God and that all the power comes from God. They are very different things.

In my experience, people who have a strong dedication to Mary have an even stronger dedication to God. They may be more comfortable outwardly expressing the honor for Mary/saints which can give people a false impression (especially those who are not familiar with a particular culture). The thing is - if one is really dedicated to Mary or the saints, Mary/saints are going to point the person to God. They are in heaven, perfectly united with God - that's part of what God wants them to do. Whereas if someone is overly dedicated to power, money or themselves - that's not leading anywhere close to God.

Praying to Mary and the saints is about recognizing that ALL believers are part of the Body of Christ. One does not stop being part of the Body of Christ when one goes to heaven - in fact one becomes perfectly united with Christ. The bible teaches that believers are suppose to help and pray for each other - so God isn't going to prevent those in heaven from following Christ's teachings. Understanding that those in heaven can hear and help us isn't giving them powers equal to God - it's understanding that God does His will through His Body (which includes those in heaven).
