Making Money Online With a Forex Trading System - 13 minutes read
In this article I will discuss making money online, Forex trading, and software related to Forex trading. Both good and bad. As well as cover some other things. Though there are a lot of systems out there, more importantly scams, there's not quite as many as there are online get rich quick schemes and ponzi schemes in general. There are still hundreds if not thousands of scams that directly relate to Forex Currency Trading.
These scams come in various forms but often get the record set straight on them quickly, however a few others somehow escape the negative publicity and go for years and hit unsuspecting profit seekers where it hurts the most daily. The problem with Forex is that so much seems too good to be true, and a lot of stuff is, but it's also true that many people have made millions and some aren't really all that smart at it. You can profit from the right robot.
The first thing I would like to discuss is the topic of sales pages, that common pitch page that a lot of products use and you often think it's gone too far or it must be a scam just by looking at it. But when you think real hard about it, over half the time this is not actually the case...
These sales pages are so long and packed with information since they are commonly advertised on the web and it is more or less business strategy, as opposed to anything reflecting the product. Certain vendors force you to use pitch pages, they need a specific landing page and it makes things much easier for sales transactions.

So rather than guide you through a structured web site with more details through various sections; they often use this pitch page and they generally pack it with information and a ton of hard selling. This has proven to be the trend and it's gotten harder and harder for some EAs to market their software without these types of pitch pages.
It is often the case with digital products and or/stuff you can order online. When it comes to these make-money-online and Forex sites they often have a lot of flash to them and obviously many things to draw customers in. In reality it's not much different from any other form of advertising, most certainly not the likes of gambling, and so forth.
They need to have some sort of appeal and be competitive. My conclusion is that even if it looks like it could be a scam, do your homework anyway and it may not be. It just depends. Some things are signs, but in my opinion web design and hard selling are not direct signs of a scam. Though in the Forex Market something to hope for would be charts and proof.
With regards to the surveys and other things, it amounts to filling out spam for pennies pretty much, data entry is the same and much more annoying than even the most desperate realize. It also makes you look bad if you tell your friends. You still have to spend time to make any real money, not prizes, and some also require a credit card number on file, and they text you and stuff too.
Let's be honest, it sucks. It's bottom of the barrel work that just isn't worth it. It's for the ultra-lazy. The kind of human being who for example might get scammed by a Forex system. Not a serious adult who is looking to profit from investment and extend their savings, along with make more money in general.

I once tried a clicking service just to see if I actually could make money, on the popular moneytec forum it was this highly suggested thing by a bunch of lazy work at home users, but I bought into it at the time, and, no joke I signed up and they told me it would be easy and they would make it easy to visit 1000 sites or whatever they have you visit for 15 cents.
So I clicked a link and it just starting loading every 2 seconds, it was awfully slow, I waited 15 minutes and that was only like 25 sites, i got a virus after, and i closed it fast. I abandoned the 15 cents for it and thought instantly that these poor souls who do this are a whole helluva lot more desperate than I am.
I do not belong in these sort of slums of the internet. This is the first time I have ever written about it. Besides that several years ago before I started trading Forex I also wrote a few surveys and never got paid once. I have marketed online to some success but mainly my success has been through Forex Trading. That's why I don't need to work a real job and can sit around doing stuff like this all day.
Publishing is very important to me. Once something you write online get's indexed by a major search engine like Google, chances are that it will be there for a very long time. I find that important anyway...
There are other ways you can make money online without Forex Trading, though sadly it is often bottom of the barrel work; boring data entry, filling out surveys for pennies, to name a couple of the more common ones.

If you're into making web sites you may also advertise on one of your sites or a network of sites, and for that you need fresh content and you need to get traffic, which is way harder than one might think.
You can sell products virtually as an affiliate, though you need to find your niche and work very hard at it, it becomes a time consuming job for some people and no matter what you're likely to going to need to invest in something no matter what you do.
Whether it's Forex, Web Design, Advertising or whatever it is or a combination of things, most importantly it takes time and ability to adapt your passion. Though you still have much more freedom, affiliate marketing online is very crowded and has been for years.
You can also use a revenue-share article and/or video submission service in hopes of being one of the few who can actually earn a living at it. Though that is not for everybody. If you've got four young children and only have an extra hour or two a day to pull in some extra income you most likely don't have time to play a Martha Stewart like figure. Most people don't.
Forex Trading on the other hand is more convenient in the sense that it is an extremely profitable investment opportunity given the right expert adviser, to advise your trade and supply your signals, generally to guide you. That is option one.
Click on this to learn how to trade Forex
You need a broker. It's way easier than you think and in the Forex industry not as big of a word as you might think, easy to get and you don't gotta meet them in person or anything. It's an online thing.
There are many options to trade Forex, one of the most common would be the use of automated Forex platforms and Forex robots, all automated Forex trading in general. There is nothing wrong with it. This is where expert advisers come in, EAs for short.
These are the Forex experts as I mentioned above who supply your trades and information to you. They pretty much tell you what to do. Some are much better than others. Some are not out to supply signals at all and simply selling their software to make profit from that end.
The other way to trade Forex is to study the market, find all the relevant information you need, take a very long time of a few months to several years to learn something, only to have it blow up as you were still too inexperienced to do something with your strategy when the market changed.
Strategy is a very important element of online Forex trading but not just having a strategy, it's about having enough strategies and being able to adapt properly with the market.
Click on this to learn how to trade Forex
This is why a lot of people fail without popular EAs, because the EA is usually a well experienced trader and your common trader can't provide himself with signals even half as good and a lot less consistently.
The well known EAs are usually like 15 year traders and so forth who studied the market like a school subject and make extra money on the side by selling there signals too you, or software which grants them.
A lot of Forex EAs today simply don't have that sort strategy or ability to adapt with the market... Thus not making them scams, but just not prepared for the long haul in general.
I have a lot of experience with failed systems and systems that worked for just a little while. I have others that work to this day but I am always seeking new ones. I can review several including one I use now however that has already been done a few times over.
Click on this to learn how to trade Forex
I have also tried automoney and several other Forex robots and automated Forex platforms. I have found that many of these automated Forex systems are a dime a dozen and send you through far too many loops to get the desired results. If they don't eat your entire investment...
Some systems don't have stops and you have to do too much manually, others are slow, and sometimes the EA is simply just not your sort of teacher and you get lost sometimes...
Some EAs will simply sniff you out and then screw you over in the end. This is why it's important to watch for signs of proof either by service trial or physical proof before making your purchase of expensive Forex software.
I have also used Forex Assassin, the eToro Forex trading platform and Forex Harvester but nothing really significant has come up from any of those systems for me.
Some Forex marketers, EAs and employees in general and so forth are so vicious that they monitor new "Forex" related domain registrations and somehow get your email address and solicit you... So you have to be aware that in the Forex market as far as Forex expert advisers go, there is a lot of them competing to get your money.
Click on this to learn how to trade Forex
You are merely seeking the ones who are also looking to have a solid reputation and actually provide you with profitable trades, your EAs1 objective should be successfully trading Forex and not selling their software.
This is another thing that makes the simple "pitch page" easy for EAs with very little maintenance, on that end of things. The software should be and often is a side venture for Forex experts who can actually profit from their knowledge of the market and have the means to market themselves...
Can anybody create automated software and sell it? Probably not, I think it's a bit of a stretch but then again it depends if you even get software, or whatever, most systems that are fully developed and have good features but don't work - were more than likely meant to work at some point.
I have read up on quite a few of the most popular Forex review sites like Forex Peace Army and many other well known ones, and to me they all pretty much point towards the same complicated software and their voters are already experts investing 10s of thousands already and they barely feel some of their losses.
Click on this to learn how to trade Forex
They switch around a lot; nothing turns out to be solid in the end. The reviews on sites like that most likely got started through advertising. Too many people get to review their own systems on Forex sites like that, etc.
You never know who the reviewer is. Searching for automated Forex software reviews is almost impossible nowadays since they all say pretty much the same thing and are mostly positive...
I have read up on many "free Forex signal" reports on the web and I also participate actively on various Forex forums and other Forex related sites. I often find with these particular free Forex signals at least my impression is that you get somebody looking to be a mentor of some sort for you, they are usually shady and turn out to be lacking when you need them the most.
These guys are usually empty handed. They are trying to freelance or whatever so that they can supply systems and build a name for themselves, but the problem is that these are the guys who after so many followers do create a commercial system and then ultimately end up failing, their the failed EA newbies to some extent and you want an EA who is an accomplished Forex expert.
One should consider it much better and safer to use an established system that is known to work, and not the work of an aspiring EA, or even worse, somebody who doesn't have those credentials at all and are just trying to stuff their ego.
Click on this to learn how to trade Forex
I have not enjoyed the free Forex signals and find it more like looting through them then finding anything really that productive, not much is there or else all Forex signals would have to be free and would be for everybody, all the best Forex signals would be free.
At least that is my concept. I don't want a rookie EA telling me what to do, since the trend in the Forex market nowadays is most definitely for more popular and well established EAs to sell systems, mostly automated software.
That is one thing I don't understand, who these people are that clog up the forums with nonsense and think they can compete in the market with actual successful Forex EAs who really know how to trade.
How much you want to trade really depends on you. If you're a Forex starter you need to have a good EA for starters, and while I can't hand pick one for you, I can provide at least one review since I have spent time on the subject, in this article off-site to an excellent EA which i have tried and complies with several of my standards. I feel it is an excellent resource for people like me at least who gets lost on the big stuff. There are many fish in the sea.

The Archangels: Jegudiel, Gabriel, Selaphiel, Michael, Uriel, Raphael, Barachiel Beneath: The Cherubim (blue) and Seraphim (red) |

Why the archangels have men's names
40 comments:
- Father Ryan Erlenbush said...
As a secondary note:
"Michael" means "Who is like God?"
"Gabriel" means "The strength of God"
"Raphael" means "God heals"
"Uriel" - "Light of God"; "Selaphiel" - "Intercessor of God"; "Jegudiel" - "Glorifier of God"; "Barachiel" - "God's blessing"
Also, I should have mentioned that angels are not just depicted as men, but as youths, or as young men. The idea here seems to be an emphasis on the fact that they do not grow old or tire out...they will never die, so they are perpetually "young"! - September 28, 2010 at 11:22 PM

While I understand that Genesis 2:21-24 tells of woman coming from man's rib, in Genesis 1:27 it tells of God creating male and female at the same time - and both in His image. While I agree with the remaining analysis, this point does not match all of scripture and may actually reinforce more sexist cultural positions throughout history. Both Aquinas and St. Paul were men of their times where the prevailing thought was more toward women being second class citizens, although Catholicism, in general, elevated women in theory, not always practice. It may also be because women have also been traditionally blamed for the "fall," thus giving men an air of superiority. Scott Hahn's analysis of this is quite good and gives Adam credit for his part in the act, but it is not a common analysis that I have seen elsewhere. While I am not a huge women's libber, I do think that some of this analysis needs to be a little more sensitive to women and the place they have in salvation history; the reasons for their second class citizen status throughout much of history and their on-going contributions to theology, culture and human rights. Mary, our Mother, is the greatest human being next to Jesus. She is the new Eve through whom the Savior came into the world and the co-redemtrix who still brings us to her Son. She epitomizes the idea that women are also the image and the glory of God!

THANK YOU for emphasizing the great dignity and value of women. Indeed, women and men are EQUAL, and I certainly hope that my post has not been pastorally insensitive or hurtful to any.
Nevertheless, though EQUAL, they are not IDENTICAL...thus we need not be surprised if their are some aspects of being male which more closely approximate to angels.
After all, I don't here too many men complaining that the VIRTUES are drawn as women!
Nevertheless, point well taken with regard to the way in which women have been treated poorly over the centuries...priests and male theologians do need to be particularly sensitive when writing on such topics. - September 29, 2010 at 12:36 PM
And 7) last but not least, they ARE men.

I pray every day to my Guardian Angel for his guidance and protection. I wondered about his name and decided that I would call him John. By so doing I felt closer to him and I look forward to joining him one day in the company of all the angels and saints.

@"Gabriel" (sept 29, 9:56pm),
No THEY ARE NOT men.
MEN means male human beings...angels are not male human beings! They are a different sort of creature.
What you meant to say (I hope), is that angles are MALES...this is also false.
Angels have no gender...not only because they are not corporeal, but also because if they had gender they would not be the full realization of their own nature. - September 29, 2010 at 2:55 PM
- Father Ryan Erlenbush said...
They are the names which are written in Greek in the icon. They are apparently part of the tradition of the Eastern Orthodox.
St. Gregory the Great mentions:
Uriel (God's light), Phanuel (God's face), Zarachiel (God's command), and Simiel (God's proclaimer).
These angels are all mentioned in various apocryphal works.
Wikipedia actually has a decent little article on this..."Archangel" - September 29, 2010 at 3:26 PM
I'm unclear about woman returning to man in marriage because doesn't Genesis 2:24 say, "That is why a man leaves his father and mother and clings to his wife, and the two of them become one body," which Jesus also quotes to the Pharisees in Matthew 19:5?

@Anonymous (12:48am),
Yes, you are correct that it does go both ways between man and woman...St. Paul adds in the same passage from 1 Cor 11, that the man is also from the woman and that both are from God...
However, I believe that St. Thomas here refers to the condition after the fall in which a woman's desire is to her husband and he shall rule over her (Gen 3,16).
Remember, Joseph took Mary into his house...there is a sense in which the man receives the woman and encompasses her...
...this is what makes Jer 31 so interesting: "the woman will encompass the man"; it is a complete role reversal!
I hope that this has made some sense and that my writing has been at least somewhat helpful in shedding light on the mystery. - September 29, 2010 at 3:57 PM

I have been aware of my guardian angel since I was very small, when Sister Alma Mary in 1st grade, told us to name our guardian angel, I chose Linda, which means beautiful.
But I have seen angels in paintings looking more like women then men. I just figured God would give us angels to help us until our dying breath and she has always been with me. I never worried about the gender part. People whine about the strangest stuff! Amen? - September 29, 2010 at 5:40 PM
- Father Ryan Erlenbush said...
@Bob and Penny Lord,
I am glad that the post was interesting to you! Thank you for the work you do in bringing the holy places to our TV!
I certainly wouldn't want to get between you and your angel guardian! I only mean to refer to the masculine names given by Scripture. There are probably good reasons why a particular angel guardian might reveal himself (itself) under a feminine name -- like helping a woman/girl to feel closer and more united to her angel!
Peace to you! - September 29, 2010 at 5:56 PM

I'll take a stab at supporting the Blessed Mother, a woman, as the greatest of God's creations: All of the major public apparitions of the last 1,000 years or more, and the messages delivered during them, have been by Mary.
She obviously has been chosen to be her Son's messenger to the human race in the place of angels these days. - September 29, 2010 at 6:53 PM
- Father Ryan Erlenbush said...
There are three perfect creatures:
1) The Humanity of Christ Jesus
2) The Maternity of the Blessed Mother
3) The Beatitude of Heaven.
Certainly, Mary holds a very prominent place in the New Law...but this need not degrade the angels. She is Queen of the Angels, after all! Angels are always at work in the world, especially under the special and loving command of the Holy Virgin. - September 29, 2010 at 7:24 PM
- Unknown said...
I wasn't intending to degrade angels.
A few weeks ago I attended my 50th high school reunion and was flabbergasted when an old friend (female)found great fault with the Church because Mary was always portrayed as being weak and wimpy.
I'm not sure what she has been reading, but it's not good, She also spouted some disbelief in a major dogma.
Of course I believe that the "Humanity of Christ Jesus" would the most perfect of beings.
I will however have to do some research, thinking and praying on the concept of the "Beatitude of Heaven."
Thank you for you comment, and a wonderful blog. I'll be back. - September 29, 2010 at 7:39 PM
- Father Ryan Erlenbush said...
I certainly did not mean to be really disagreeing with your comment! I agree that Mary is the special helper of the Lord in the New Dispensation, you are quite right on this point.
In regard to the three perfect creatures, I am not sure if the order is really an order of greatness...they are all perfect in what they are...the idea with beatitude of heaven is that, because the vision is of God, it cannot bring any more joy to the soul -- but it is still a created joy, not the uncreated joy of God himself (who is the Holy Spirit). - September 29, 2010 at 7:55 PM
I wandered here by chance ... I'm an Orthodox Christian. When someone in our church asks why the angels are painted as beautiful young men with long curly hair tied back, the answer I've always heard is that they choose to look like our Lord. They rejoice to take on his likeness in heaven.
The argument that their gender presentation points to superior strength or whatnot doesn't stand up. It is well-known that the Near East considered the lion the symbol of strength, but both lions and lionesses were depicted equally (there was even some preference for the female). Why would the king and queen of beasts have equality but not man and woman? I believe sexism is a later Western idea.
Thank you.
Juliana - September 29, 2010 at 8:29 PM
- Father Ryan Erlenbush said...
Juliana, Thank you for your input...I do think that you make a good point about the angels choosing to look like our Lord.
With regard to the "strength" question...you will recall that the earlier reasons I give have to do with the intellect, rationality, being an image of God, authority, etc. It wouldn't do well for angels to regularly appear as wild beasts -- though lions are strong, they are not too smart. Thus, it makes sense that the archangels appeared as men: rational animals who are strong (at least stronger than the other rational animal: woman).
After 19 comments, I think you have provided the first additional reason!
So, here it is:
7) The Eternal Word became incarnate as a male human being; the angels, wishing to foreshadow and honor this mystery, also appear as men. - September 29, 2010 at 8:46 PM
- Bender said...
Why do archangels have men's names?
They don't.
Rather, certain men have the names of archangels. It is only by men being named after the angels that these names are male names.
As for angels appearing masculine in scripture, there is a commonsense, practical reason for that. We have to take into consideration that, in the course of Salvation History, God necessarily dealt with humanity as it existed at any given time in human history, such that revelation from Him was at a level that people would understand and accept.
Maybe today people would readily accept Monica and Tess as angels, but 3000 years ago, they could not conceive of such a thing. They expected male angels, so God had them appear in masculine form, even though angels are neither male nor female (or perhaps better described as being both). - September 29, 2010 at 9:33 PM
The practical reason, as you describe it, is already covered under numbers five and six, at least, above. But while they were good, practical reasons, I doubt they were much relevant to God, seeing as He didn't seem concerned with whether people could conceive of what He was doing 2000 years ago. Further, if He had wanted woman-appearing angels, or to come to earth as a woman, and wished for it to be conceivable to the Jews, He could have ordered Jewish society so that that made sense to the Jews (it was a culture created by revelation, after all), but He didn't. He could have easily established a female priesthood, for example, but He didn't. He could have called Sarah to found a nation, but He didn't. So I think we can conclude that He had His own reasons beyond practicality. - September 30, 2010 at 3:43 AM
In my haste (and I am still rushing to get to an appointment, so please forgive me if I am incoherent), I neglected to tie this also to the "man of his times" concept from above, which so often is used to justify all manner of innovation. Saint Paul was a man of his times, indeed, and the times were made that way by God. Certainly, the Jews and the Catholics after them were imperfect, and Paul was when he was a Jew and no less when he was Catholic, but when he wrote scripture, he was writing God's Word.
Also, perhaps our host can set me straight here, but I've never been able to understand the whole first and second "stories" of creation thing. It has always seemed to me to have come from the historical-critical obnoxiousness (and I never heard the term before that became the trend, but that may have bee) that tries to treat everything in the Bible as "myth" rather than as history. If you start with the assumption that creation could only have happened one way, the "second story" only appears to be a further elaboration of the narrative. Saying that he created them male and female without really going into detail of the creation doesn't seem to me to contradict the later passage that does go into detail about that particular day, and throws in a summary of the rest of creation. Nor indeed should we consider it possible for the Bible to contradict itself, I shouldn't think. - September 30, 2010 at 4:17 AM

On the "two" stories of creation...I have written a little article about how St. Thomas and St. Augustine answer this question...http://ntmjournal.blogspot.com/2010/04/metaphor-and-account-of-creation_25.html...
The basic answer is that the first creation account is a metaphor for the way in which the angels came to know the works of God - this is St. Augustine's answer, it is not some historical-critical reaction... - September 30, 2010 at 7:51 AM

Michael is a masculine name...its not simply that little boys have been named after Michael, it really is a man's name; it could not be given to a woman...a woman's name would Michelle or Michaela...
All the archangels have men's names...you don't need to know Hebrew to recognize that... - September 30, 2010 at 7:58 AM

I love my guardian angel and have been close to "him" since I was a little boy. He has physically saved my life. I was lucky enough to be married on The Feast of the Guardian Angels (something I am sure that was organized by Heaven – when I was informed of the open date it made we laugh with joy).
I believe that our guardian angels are always talking to us. We simple need to listen and be aware. I also turn to Saint Padre Pio, who loved his guardian angel and instructed us on how to respect ours. We should learn to send our guardian angels to help and comfort other. We should ask them to teach us to pray. We should ask them to protect us. We should call upon them to push the evil ones away from us. We should ask them to guide us. We need to listen to them. These are supernatural beings that are from God and in the presents of God at all times. We are rubbing elbows with someone that is so close to The Creature. How lucky we are. What a loving God we have.
I am amazed at the fact that we are given a guide from the moment of our creation. Unfortunately, guardian angels are treated like user guides that come with a piece of equipment. People would be mad if they didn't get one, but most people only turn to them when something is broken. Many others simple stick them somewhere for 'save keeping' but eventually forget all about them. Use your guide to be closer to God. Ask "him" for "his" help and guidance. Ask "him" to teach you to worship God. Ask "him" to teach you to love your neighbor. Thank God for your Best Friend and Companion.
P.S. Many at many Marian Apparitions are preceded by visits of angels to teach the visionaries and to proclaim the coming of Mary. The grace of God be on all of us. - September 30, 2010 at 8:46 AM
It seems to me that you are saying that it is the teaching of our faith that men are superior to women in all important respects, and that it is proper for women to be ruled by men. And that this is why we perceive angels to be masculine, because of their similarly pronounced superiority to human beings.
As a single woman who accepts all the teachings of the Church, and really has no quibble about women's liberation, I have to admit I find these teachings puzzling.
You say two things that seem contradictory (1) that male and female are equal; and (2) that women are properly subordinated to men. If two things are equal, how can it be that one is subordinate, as well as weaker, less rational, and in need of being led and ruled over? Clearly, the stronger, more rational and leader is superior to the other, and thus they are not equal.
I am a single woman, and I would be happy to be married and would not have a problem with the man taking the leadership role in my family.
But as a single woman who is not likely to be married, it seems to me that your analysis means that I am a weak, incomplete, ninny who lacks the essential leadership of a man. I suppose this is possible, but it does not square with my experience. Am I simply missing something, or am I a victim of overweening pride and in need of correction? I ask this quite sincerely. - September 30, 2010 at 9:36 AM
Sorry - one more question.
In what sense is it proper to say that men are "more like God than women"? I know you say that this is true in a "secondary" sense, but I am not sure what that means.
Primarily - both are an image of God, but "secondarily" men are more like God because "woman is the glory of man?" Honestly, I don't understand what that means. In what sense am I as a woman glorifying men rather than God? It sounds almost idolatrous.
I suppose what all my questions amount is whether you are saying that at the level of being women are inferior to men, as all of these characteristics you discuss seem to suggest?
I had thought that the Church taught that men and women are complentary to each other, rather than men being superior to women in all important respects, but your discussion seems to suggest otherwise. - September 30, 2010 at 10:15 AM

@Anonymous Single Woman (6:36pm and 7:15pm),
Obviously something in my post or in the comments has struck a sensitive issue for you...I apologize if anything I have said has obscured this very important truth about men and women: They are equal! They are equally rational! They are equally the image of God!
However, they are also complementary...therefore, the woman is not the head of the man...but the man is head of the woman (this is in reference to married life)...for single women, their head is Christ through the Church.
Man is physically stronger than woman, it is a fact...yet this does not make him better.
Woman is more tender than man, it is a fact...yet this does not make her better.
St. Thomas, in fact, was a great defender of woman. He held that she is the image of God just as man is. Yet, he also admitted that relation between a husband and his wife also shows something about the relation between God and humanity...God governs and guides humanity, God loves humanity...so too, a husband is meant to govern and guide his wife, out of love for her. Yet there is an essential equality between man and woman, between husband and wife.
We need to submit ourselves to the teachings of Sacred Scripture, even if they sometimes make us uncomfortable. At the same time, we need to use our intellect and recognize what is really essential to the teaching.
Here is a little question: Why doesn't anyone complain about the fact that the Virtues are characterized as women? Why is this not considered offensive? Doesn't it seem to imply that only women are virtuous, or that they are at least more virtuous than men?
We need to break free from the cultural scourge of our times which constantly sets men and women against each other...
At the same time, I know that we need to be particularly sensitive when dealing with the relation between men and women...I do hope to write on the relationship between men and women, the question of headship, and the relation to the angels in an upcoming post.
Thank you for your honesty! I truly do hope that this blog will help to answer some of the very legitimate concerns you have... - September 30, 2010 at 12:41 PM
No, you didn't really strike a nerve or offend me. I just find your answers puzzling -- meaning I don't understand them.
It seems to me your post clearly says that the reason the angels have masculine names is because they are superior to human beings in the same way men are superior to women. So my question was - how is that men are at the same time superior to women and yet also their equal?
I still don't know the answer to this question after reading your reply.
If you are saying that there are also ways in which women are superior to men, say in terms of tenderness, then why wouldn't it be proper to name angels with women's names in order to emphasize this aspect of their being? And yet we have no examples of angels with feminine names.
As to depicting the virtues as women, correct me if I am wrong, but this is not scriptural, and thus not a teaching of the faith.
Instead it is a cultural convention, and indeed, it seems to me that I have read several saints who assure us that men are more virtuous than women with regard to most of the virtues: Wisdom, prudence, fortitude, etc. and that this is why women need men to rule them. The fact that the virtues are depicted as feminine is not translated into the conclusion that women are more virtuous than men, at least in any Christian sources I have read.
And the fact that you assert that men and women are equal seems to be incompatible with your assertion that men must rule over women - such a role does not seem complementary to me. It seems dominating in an ontological sense, in that it is really truly the case that women are not as worthy or capable as men at making decisions.
I would think that the man is the head of the family just because it seems to work out better for everyone in the end, as a matter of tradition and convention so that there isn't continuing squabbles. But men have used this idea that they are inherently the dominant "true glory of God" to treat women very badly in many circumstances, and they use scripture to reinforce this notion.
As does the suggestion that men are more like God than women, even in a secondary semse. I assume that "secondary" is still a true sense? So in a true sense, men are more like God than I am? Really? How can that be a complementary role and not a superior role?
And finally, to say that man is the head of a woman in an ontological sense seems very incompatible with saying that men and women are equal and complementary. "The head" is obviously the commanding part of the body, the seat of reason and will - I apparently have no head of my own, but men do have a head not only for themselves, but also for women. Can you see how that seems to suggest that women are ontologically inferior to men?
Anyway, thank your for your reply, even though I still do not understand how these assertions are not contradictory. I think what you are really saying is that men really are ontologically superior to women, and that this is a matter of the faith. If that is so, what I need to do is simply be humble enough to accept it, which I will ask for the grace of doing.
But I guess it would be easier for me to seek that grace if the Church just came out and said - yes, women are inferior to men in that they need men to rule them, men must be their head, and because men are more like God than women, and this is how God made it.
Instead, it seems like it's trying to say -oh, no, men and women are really equal, but also men really are superior (in the ways that I have mentioned above). I just am having trouble reconciling the two assertions. - September 30, 2010 at 2:06 PM

@ Anonymous Single Woman
I too, have been wrestling with many of these seemingly contradictory statements for most of my 50+ years. However, I firmly believe that men and women are equal, but not the same, and I know this is what the Church and Scriptures teach. This in reality is the ideal that we are all to strive for, though throughout the centuries we all have fallen short. Therefore, because we are equal in dignity and God loves each of us, it is rational to infer that the physical and emotional/psychological differences between the sexes would cause us to be better suited to different types of roles. This, I think, is the basis for certain teachings for men that are different for women. It is not because one is "better" than the other, but gifted with different gifts that lend themselves to different tasks and states in life. We accept this when it comes to talents-giftedness with respect to professions, etc. I think the same is true in the male-female realm. I hope this helps:)
On another note, there are 9 choirs of angels, and they differ in attributes. I really like the comments about them wanting to look like Jesus and think that is a distinct possibility. I also think guardian angels are depicted as males because they are "protectors" which is a male characteristic. Perhaps some of the other types of angels would not be depicted that way, or would have more feminine characteristics to coincide with their specific duties.
I also read somewhere a long time ago that angels' names all end in "el" because that means "of God" or something like that. Therefore, when I was discerning what to name my guardian angel, the name Nathan kept coming to me - and I added the "el" to make it Nathaniel. I thank God for "him" everyday, for "he" has truly helped me through some difficult times!
Blessings - and thank you for your blog - I really enjoy it and the comments from your other readers! - September 30, 2010 at 3:26 PM

@Anonymous Single Woman,
You are bringing up many good and important points which much be addressed. However, the comment box is not an good place for me to attempt an answer. In an earlier post, I had said that I would consider writing another article to answer these questions - your additional comments have confirmed me in that intention. Within 24 hours I will have another post about the relation between men and women, a commentary on the passage 1 Cor 11.
In the meantime, allow me just a very brief response:
1) The man is the head of the woman, yet they are equal...by an analogy (which means it does not fit perfectly, but does fit slightly), I would also say that parents rule over their children, yet both parent and child are equal, they are both fully human, they are both equally the image of God -- yet, the parent rules over the child.
2) Wisdom is portrayed as a woman in the Old Testament (especially in the book of wisdom), this does not mean that women are necessarily more wise than men...but there is something fitting to this portrayal...wisdom is like a mother, giving life to her children...wisdom brings great delight to the soul, as a woman brings joy to her husband...
Certainly men and women are equally capable of wisdom, but women (in a secondary, yet very real sense) are a better image for wisdom when considered in light of the complementary relationship between a woman and a man.
3) Angels are not characterized by tenderness, thus the tenderness of women (which is superior to that of men) is not a reason to name angels with a woman's name.
4)The key to this discussion is to understand that, taken individually, a woman is just as much the image of God as a man...however, in the complementary relationship between a woman and a man, the man is more perfectly the image of God (in the sacrament of marriage he is the image of Christ).
The difficulty, as you put it, is the insistence that men and women are equal while at the same time insisting that men rule over women...
...a king and a servant are equals (this is the long tradition of the Church), yet the king rules over the servant...both are equally rational, yet the servant must conform his will to the will of his king...in this relationship a servant and a king are complementary, not identical, yet truly equal...
These are all just analogies, I am not suggesting that the husband is the king of his wife (he is the head of his wife). This is just an analogy, but I think it may help to illustrate the point about complementary, different, subordinated, yet EQUAL.
I WOULD ASK THAT ALL FURTHER COMMENTARY ON THE TOPIC OF THE RELATION BETWEEN MAN AND WOMAN BE SAVED UNTIL I MAKE THE POST ON 1 CORINTHIANS 11:1-16 - September 30, 2010 at 3:58 PM
Fair enough. Thank you for your comments.
- September 30, 2010 at 4:36 PM
On the topic of angelic names, I have a quick question that I was wondering if anyone could answer. The angel Anael/Haniel: what is his status in Catholic angelology? Does he serve as a guardian angel, or does he have some other function? Try as I might, whenever I attempt to look it up, I find myself redirected to satanic new-age sites!
- October 1, 2010 at 8:09 AM
- Father Ryan Erlenbush said...
Haniel seems to be connected with the Jewish mysticism known as Kabbalah. Although, he also seems to be named by some as one of the seven archangels.
His name means "Joy of God" or "Grace of God"...
...I don't know anything more than this. Sorry. - October 3, 2010 at 7:31 PM

For the first time in 70 years, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) released two major requirements for improving food safety.
On Friday, the FDA released two draft rule proposals for food safety that will allow the FDA to shift its focus on preventing, rather than simply reacting, to food borne illnesses. Despite the delay, public health advocates heralded the proposals as a major step in implementing the landmark FDA Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA) that President Obama signed into law two years ago, giving the FDA one year to put the first policies in place.
The regulations are needed, as evidenced by the series of dangerous food safety slip-ups in recent years that required recalls of spinach, cantaloupe, sprouts, turkey and ground beef with microbes ranging from salmonella to E. coli and listeria, as well as the FDA's shut-down of the organic peanut butter plant Sunland Inc. in New Mexico, which produced salmonella-tainted peanut butter that sickened 42 consumers nationwide.
(MORE: The Food Safety Bill Finally Passes, But It's Just the First Step)
"We have one of the safest food supplies in the world, but we have work to do to stop food borne illnesses before they start," Dr. Margaret Hamburg, commissioner of the FDA said in a press conference. "While the FDA responds very quickly and effectively in response to outbreaks, containing them and finding their source and taking other necessary actions, we really need to do more than react after the fact. Preventing problems before they cause harm is not only common sense, it is the key to food safety in the 21st century."
The regulations, the first reforms in food safety in more than 70 years, are designed to address gaps in food production and manufacturing processes that leave an estimated 48 million Americans sick each year, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). While not all of these illnesses are reported, the FDA says that nearly 130,000 people who contract a food-related disease are hospitalized and 3,000 die from the illness. So when the deadline to issue regulatory rules in 2012 came and went, two nonprofit organizations, the Center for Food Safety and The Center for Environmental Health criticized the agency for unreasonable delays and filed a lawsuit.
(MORE: Is It Worth Buying Organic? Maybe Not)
The agency asked for the lawsuit to be dismissed, noting that the delay stemmed from the extensive investigation and on-site visits to farms and food facilities in 14 states, as well as meetings with health and manufacturing groups at local and state levels over the past two years. "The rules follow extensive outreach by the FDA to the produce industry, the consumer community, other government agencies and the international community. Since January 2011, FDA staff have toured farms and facilities nationwide and participated in hundreds of meetings and presentations with global regulatory partners, industry stakeholders, consumer groups, farmers, state and local officials, and the research community," the agency says in a statement.
The two rules, Preventive Controls for Human Food and Standards for Produce Safety, stretch across 1,236 pages, and are now available for public comment for the next 120 days. The first rule requires manufacturers selling food in the United States—whether the food was grown domestically or internationally—to develop and follow formal plans for preventing contamination of their products as well as for correcting problems when they arise.
MORE: How to Stop the Superbugs
The second rule, which applies only to foods consumed raw, such as berries and salad greens, requires stricter standards for growing, harvesting, packing and holding fruits and vegetables. The rule would increase vigilance for sanitation during irrigation and washing of produce, worker hygiene, cleanliness of materials used in growing soils such as fertilizers and manure, management of animals that could , enter crop fields and contribute contamination, and sanitation of processing equipment.
After the public comment period, the FDA will adjust the rules based on the feedback, which could take another year. The FDA proposes that larger farms comply with the majority of the produce safety requirements 26 months after the final rule is published, and that small farms be given additional time to undergo the changes. All farms would have more time to comply with some of the water quality requirements.
MORE: Bad Food: Illnesses from Imported Foods Are on the Rise, CDC Says
The FDA says the new rules will lead to major savings in medical costs and less resources spent in response to large scale recalls. However, the Congressional Budget Office estimated that the bill would cost $1.4 billion to implement, from 2011 to 2015, and that funding has not yet been secured. "Resources are going to continue to be an issue," Hamburg said during the conference call.
That could be a problem for implementing the FSMA going forward, since there are still more measures to be addressed, such as increased monitoring and standards for food importers. The FDA says approximately 15% of food eaten in the U.S. is imported, and more rules for importers to verify that foods that are grown and processed overseas meet U.S. standards are an important part of improving overall food safety. The FDA will also propose more rules for preventing contamination and illnesses from animal feed and pet food.
MORE: CDC: Illnesses from Salmonella, Rare Strains of E. Coli Rose in 2010
"These proposed regulations are a sign of progress that should be welcomed by consumers and the food industry alike," said Caroline Smith DeWaal, food safety director for the Center for Science in the Public Interest in a statement. "Still needed are protections in the form of rules aimed at ensuring the safety of imported food…Americans want to know that the food coming from China, Mexico, and elsewhere is subject to the same standards, inspection, testing, and other regulatory improvements mandated for the domestic food industry."
(MORE: Consumer Reports Warns Pregnant Women Against Canned Tuna)
Public health and food safety supporters welcome the proposals, and are hopeful the FDA will continue to move forward as quickly as possible."This is just the beginning, and there is more stuff right behind it in line for approval," says Sandy Eskin, director of the Safe Food Campaign for the Pew Health Group. "This took a long time to get passed and may take a while to get it all implemented, but it is a big step. You can be very frustrated because things are moving slowly, but nothing is more frustrating than if things are not moving at all."

Get this now: SysApp Pusher will notify you of app updates for your Nokia, HTC or Samsung Windows Phone
As the Windows Phone ecosystem grows, manufacturers will continually look for ways to expand and differentiate amongst themselves. One easy way for them to do so is with custom OEM Stores like the Nokia Collection or Samsung Zone.
The problem is with Windows Phone, you can't force check for app updates, even for "system apps" like Samsung's call blocker or Nokia's Display + Touch. Sure you can wait the 24 hours for the Store tile to display an update, and that's fine for most users, but let's face it: if you're reading this site, you want the latest and greatest now. This is especially true for Lumia owners since Nokia's updates are known for enabling new, unannounced features making their occasional updates more like little birthday presents.
That's why SysApp Pusher is our must-have app this week.
Check the store for new apps, not just links
SysApp Pusher by Amaze Pictures Inc. is the tool you need if you fall into that category. Much like the discontinued Lumia Pusher before it and the sub-par Nokia Collection app recently, SysApp Pusher allows you to check the Store in one click for Nokia, HTC and Samsung software. That's right, this isn't only for the Nokia fans. But it's more than that as it also displays the version number and package/install sizes.
But the best part was just rolled out in a recent update of that app itself: any apps that are new will be noted with a green circle to the right (see the lead image). In other words, this just doesn't blindly give you Store links, but actively checks for new versions, giving you a small visual indicator of something worthy of your attention.
For our needs, that makes this app a must have for our collection. The app is free, though for $0.99 starting in version 1.4, you can remove the ads permanently. Even better is that the app is being actively developed with three app updates in the last week since its release. We like that kind of dedication, as it means new apps and features will be added along the way as required.

All the latest news, reviews, and guides for Windows and Xbox diehards.

Man Drives Same Car Over 3 Million Miles, Extends His Own Astonishing Record
When people talk about their cars getting good mileage, this is probably not what they mean.
Irv Gordon recently extended a record that will be tough to beat – he has driven the same car over three million miles. The vehicle is a 1966 Volvo P1800. He already owned the record for most miles driven by one person in a non-commercial vehicle, setting it in 1998 when he took his Volvo to the 1.69-million mile mark.
Earlier this month, Gordon went over the three million-mile plateau while cruising along Alaska's Seward Highway.
Gordon, 74, is quite pensive when it comes to the mark:
It's not about getting to the three million miles; it's about the trips that got me to the three million miles. I never had a goal to get to one million, to two million. I just enjoyed driving and experiencing life through my Volvo."
The Volvo has been quite the globetrotter, hitting nine countries and stopping at 800 Waffle Houses during its tenure. It's also been in 11 accidents and probably heard way more than its fair share of "Are we there yets?"
Don't think Gordon isn't looking ahead, either. He says the Volvo can keep going. "Everyone asks, what's next? Well, I'll keep driving my Volvo P1800 to auto shows and taking trips across the country," he says. "Not much will change. But whether I drive four million miles is more up to me than it is the car. The car may be able to take it, but I'm not so sure about me."

After years of resisting calls for it to drop its opposition to gay members and troop leaders, the Boy Scouts of America (BSA) may finally — slowly — be changing its tune.
The organization said Monday it was considering dropping its national policy on sexual orientation and leaving some of the decisionmaking to local troops, sponsors and families.
(MORE: Was a Boy Scout Denied an Award Because He's Gay?)
"The policy change under discussion would allow the religious, civic or educational organizations that oversee and deliver scouting to determine how to address this issue. The Boy Scouts would not, under any circumstances, dictate a position to units, members or parents," said BSA spokesman Deron Smith in a statement to TIME. "Under this proposed policy, the BSA would not require any chartered organization to act in ways inconsistent with that organization's mission, principles or religious beliefs."
The group's long-standing ban on gay membership, while it has faced several legal challenges, was upheld by the U.S. Supreme Court in a 2000 case. But the Scouts have come under mounting pressure on the issue in recent months. In October, Ryan Andresen, a then 17-year-old scout who had completed all the qualifications for earning his Eagle badge, learned from his troop leader that he could not be awarded the merit because he was gay. At the time, the Scouts released a statement saying that Andresen "did not meet the organization's standard on sexual orientation" and was told he was no longer eligible for membership, prompting widespread condemnation. Earlier this month, after Andresen's mother posted a Change.org petition in his support that got more than 468,000 signatures, local Boy Scout leaders approved his Eagle ranking, despite the judgment of the national organization.
Smith said the decision is likely to be discussed next week at the organization's national executive board meeting, which will be closed to the public. If the ban is dropped, it would eliminate any national policy on sexual orientation within the Boy Scouts of America.
