The 'Vicarious Atonement', is a central concept within Christian theology that asserts that Jesus died "for sinners". “When a person sinned, they would take a lamb to the temple to sacrifice,”
As a Lamb of God, Jesus was killed like a lamb.
Many of the things that were practised & acceptable in the Old Testament, are no longer done in the New Testament - 'followers of Christ'. The essence of Christianity is 'love, salvation & forgiveness'. Christ is an embodiment of all three.
It's disrespectful for those who practise a different faith, to try to be the experts explaining another faith's verse. Quoting Leviticus as justification for the killing of #Deborah is grossly disrespectful. Jesus we are told, chose love over hate many times e.g. Sabbath day.
The funny thing about quoting out of context is that the same people believe one verse, but do not believe a whole lot more. They will tell you this verse is wrong or that verse is. E.g. Ask the same poster if Christ truly died. I bet you he will say no.
Three things will last forever—faith, hope, & love—& the greatest of these is love. These words encapsulate what Christ was about.
No wonder he wouldn't let them stone a woman to death, but instead said, “Let anyone who is without sin cast the first stone.” He saved her!
Leaving theology besides, even it were true that all of the Bible be taken literally, Nigeria is a secular state. It can't be used as justification either way. That should be the agreement for everyone. We can't have people taking laws into their own hands based on beliefs.🚶🚶
Christians are released from the old law(s).

Criticism and debate on governance in Nigeria is also marginalised. What's the point if only praise is allowed by the government such that even a constitutional authority as the legislature, is not allowed to function independently?
In a democracy, keeping track of government activities, being concerned about use of resources, and highlighting failures in policies are needed. As much as you will find those supporting its policies and decisions. Each one is supposed to allow govt improve...
...make society progressive and inclusive. Can anyone honestly expect any improvement in the power-generation sector in the nearest future? Deluded minds can. The driving force of praise and overwhelming support is not real progress as much as its grand delusions.
If I could write about the way you make me feel
I wonder what I'd write
Cause of all the words there are to use
They never say it right
When I only have a minute &
It'd take a thousand hours & some new words too
But my nights are never blue
I don't mind the rain when I'm with you
When I'm with you the songs are already written
Melodies turn into words nobody's ever said
When I'm alone the only thing I can say that's true
Is my nights are never blue
And I don't mind the rain when I'm with you
So if I could write about the way you make me feel
I don't know what I'd write
Cause of all the words there are to use
They'd never say it right
When I only have a minute and
It'd take a thousand hours
And all those new words too
But my nights are never blue
And I don't mind the rain when I'm with you
Instead of boasting about your riches and how you have never begged in your life, why not make sure your members can actually make it to service and never beg in THEIR lives?
They don't even prepare them to face real situational problems. 1. How to avoid kidnappers etc.
@nispid we have always tried to do the little that we can. The pandemic has brought unique challenges that even the biggest organisations have struggled. We have had no support from anywhere. Thanks to my wife for going to the remotest places in Benue, to find people in need.
We had a video call with her. She was on the floor being grateful. Nothing we said would make her stand up. She has hope for a future again. @destydan2012
The right to ownership & control of natural resources under the Nigerian law is constitutional. The Constitution of Nigeria 1999 (as amended) section 44 (3) & item 39 Schedule II of the Exclusive Legislative List vests the control & management of the
natural resources & hydrocarbon operations on the federal government 'FOR THE COMMON GOOD & BENEFIT OF IT'S CITIZENS.
Natural resources are raw materials that come from the Earth. They occur naturally, which means that humans cannot make natural resources. Instead,
we use & modify them in ways that are beneficial to us.
If natural resources come from living things or organic materials, then they are considered biotic resources. Biotic resources include plants, animals, & fossil fuels.
