  Gbevlo is nothing but a sad joke whose basic concept of national security is glorified watchman business stereotyping Hollywood's interpretation of the typical African gun totting never smiling psychopathic homicidal criminal motivated idiot .This is someone who is supposed to present a report or advice on the pros and cons of every move or action of the president by running a team of expert analysts in every field of human activity. Yet we see questionable elections , strange trips to Turkey korea china and South Africa , receipt of blabber mouth gay activists , Iranians ,abnormal gold transactions , out of place comments even in sports just to name a few that are in the public eye not to mention those we know but not so advertised. This is the man the ewes have given us to help the president move the energies of the nation into the 21st century ? long live the Republic of Akan

  Hmm unbelivable.... since this pope came to power i've not been comfotable with myself considering his age,speech, flexibity,flaility and drive...at 85 and travelling heaven and earth like60.
  When US Secretary of State Mrs. Hillary CLINTON at 65,collapsed for suffering concussion due to dehydration and traumatic stress last December 2012.... I marvelled to question mine soul of the power drunk of the CATHOLIC HEAD after a visit to LEBANON to comfort Christian minority close to war torn Islamic Syria of ASSAD in Novemeber 2012 ... Then within 3 weeks the Pontiff was celebarting christmas mass at Vatican.
  His brothers did well to caution Pope to resign and rest for health .perhaps taking a cue from the hell that struck Mrs. Clinton .. WELL DONE PONTIFF...
  that a lesson to political and religiuos leaders after 70 years to follow after all "nyimpa beye bi na wannbe ye ne nyinara"..

  @ Alima Shebang, Islam is not a satanic religion but a religion of God proclaimed by the last prophet who was prophecy's to the Jews. The bible says" now this was John testimony when the Jews of Jerusalem sent priest and levites to ask him who he was, he did not fall to confess, but confessed free I am not the Christ. they ask him then who are U? are U Elijah? he said I am not. are U the PROPHET? he answered no.(John: 1:19-21) WHO IS THE PROPHET? if not Mohammed then who is He? don't forget that they asked of Jesus first, then Elijah whom Jesus said was John in Matt: 17:10-13 then the prophet. think and U will realise that the last prophet has come and all must listen to him. why would Pope has to resign if doing the work of God was to cause his death and that was to make him go to heaven and meet his lord Jesus? Think.

  Man, if you say Mohammed is the referrent for the prophet in John 1:19-21, you are admiting you have not read this chapter because you have asynchronously interpreted the passage, taking out John as the referrent, and substituting Mohammed in his place. It is to be remembered that Mohammed was born in 570 AD and died in 632 AD.
  
  "And this is the record of John, when the Jews sent priests and Levites from Jerusalem to ask him, Who art thou? And he confessed, and denied not; but confessed, I am not the Christ. And they asked him, What then? Art thou Elias? And he saith, I am not. Art thou that prophet? And he answered, No. Then said they unto him, Who art thou? that we may give an answer to them that sent us. What sayest thou of thyself? He said, I am the voice of one crying in the wilderness, Make straight the way of the Lord, as said the prophet Esaias"(John 1:19-23).
  
  Please note the explanation of the above passage.
  
  Albert Barnes' Notes on the Bible
  John 1:21
  Verse 21. Art thou Elias? This is the Greek way of writing Elijah. The Jews expected that Elijah would appear before the Messiah came. Cmt. on Mt 11:14. They supposed that it would be the real Elijah returned from heaven. In this sense John denied that he was Elijah; but he did not deny that he was the Elias or Elijah which the prophet intended (Mt 3:3), for he immediately proceeds to state (Joh 1:23) that he was sent, as it was predicted that Elijah would be, to prepare the way of the Lord; so that, while he corrected their false notions about Elijah, he so clearly stated to them his true character that they might understand that he was really the one predicted as Elijah.

  "implore his holy Mother Mary, so that she may assist the Cardinal Fathers with her maternal solicitude, in electing a new Supreme Pontiff."
  
  Question: Where is Mary? Isn't she dead and buried? How can she "assist the Cardinal Fathers with their solicitude, in electing a new supreme pontiff" if she is dead?
  
  The Bible answer:
  "If a man die, shall he live again? all the days of my appointed time will I wait, till my change come"(Job 14:14).
  
  "Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed, In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed. For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality"(1 Corinthians 15:51-53).
  
  Are the dead worshiping God in heaven?
  
  "The dead praise not the LORD, neither any that go down into silence"(Psalms 115:17).
  
  Albert Barnes' Notes on the Bible
  Psalms 115:17
  "The dead praise not the Lord - The meaning of this is, that as those who are dead cannot praise God, or cannot worship him, this should be done while we are in the land of the living. This opportunity, like all other opportunities, will be cut off in the grave, and hence, we should be faithful in this duty, and should avail ourselves of this privilege, while life lasts.
  Neither any that go down into silence - Into the grave - the land of silence. Ps 94:17. Nothing is more impressive in regard to the grave than its utter silence. Not a voice, not a sound, is heard there - of birds or human beings - of song or conversation - of the roaring of the sea, the sighing of the breeze, the fury of the storm, the tumult of battle. Perfect stillness reigns there; and the first sound that shall be heard there will be the archangel's trump."
  
  "For the grave cannot praise thee, death can not celebrate thee: they that go down into the pit cannot hope for thy truth"(Isaiah 38:18).
  
  Jesus, what is death?
  
  "These things said he: and after that he saith unto them, Our friend Lazarus sleepeth; but I go, that I may awake him out of sleep. Then said his disciples, Lord, if he sleep, he shall do well. Howbeit Jesus spake of his death: but they thought that he had spoken of taking of rest in sleep. Then said Jesus unto them plainly, Lazarus is dead"(John 11:11-14).

  In our devotion to God through prayers in the name of his Son, Jesus Christ, Mary(the earthly mother of Jesus) does not come in the equation.
  
  Mary herself, said of Jesus Christ "Whatever he tells you, do it". What did our Lord,Jesus tell us? We are to do all things in his name, so that the Father may be glorified in the Son.
  
  God takes glory in his Son.
  
  Mary was blessed for the singular honour of motherhood to our Lord in his humanity, but that does not mean she must be referenced in our devotion to God.
  
  The practice of mentioning Mary becomes a simultude and a contuinity of paying homage to the queen of heaven, as in the old Testament (See Book of Jeremiah), a practice which God abhored and warned the children of Israel against the practice.
  
  Let us not be deceived by the guises of the enemy who pretends to be an angel of Light.
