It means let collectively bury buhari political ambition and send him home come 2019.

Buhari is a pure terrorist.

This is the reason why many pastors take advantage of their members because they don't understand, same as tithing

It means burial doesn't need all the ridiculous practices involved, bury the person and move on as soon as possible or simply allow the ignorant bury the body

My own understanding about the statement is that, the unbelievers are dead but not physically, so the unbelievers are the once Jesus is referring to take care of the physically dead people.and not a believer like that man

Jesus is God but he has to come in form of a human in order to die for mankind. Read what John 1:1 says "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God"

Must you insult? Why can't you have a decent argument without the insults? I was actually enjoying this argument not until you started calling a fellow nairalander confused for sharing his views...

No you can't see it, for you you have sinned against God by making a human He created equal to Him.

It requires wisdom to understand the scriptures.

Not only wisdom, but studying and searching the scriptures.

Jesus christ didn't exist..... Christ is a level, a stage of consciousness where the only thing you have in your heart is love and compassion.... The Bible didn't instruct you to worship christ.....
The Bible instruct you to live like christ.... Basic psychology.

In Matthew 8:22 Jesus said, “Follow Me, and let the dead bury their own dead.” He was responding to a request from one of His followers who asked to be excused from his responsibilities to “go and bury [his] father” (Matthew 8:21 ).
It might seem that he was asking to make funeral arrangements for his recently deceased father. However, he was actually asking Christ to excuse him from his spiritual responsibilities, so that he could return to live with his aging father until after his father died.

Please resolve the confusion in your post.
Thanks.

It might seem that he was asking to make funeral arrangements for his recently deceased father. However, he was actually asking Christ to excuse him from his spiritual responsibilities, so that he could return to live with his aging father until after his father died. Of course, that could mean the disciple would be gone for a long time. It seems he was skirting his spiritual calling and wanted Christ to give His blessing to this action.
Instead, Christ told him to focus on his calling. A better sense of Jesus’ statement would be, “Don’t neglect the high spiritual calling I’ve given you; let the spiritually dead attend to the routine tasks of life.” Certainly, Christ would not forbid the man from attending to the funeral arrangements for his father. Christ Himself went to visit the family of His friend Lazarus after Lazarus’ death—even at great risk of His life (John 11:1-16 ).
God wants us to care for the needs of our families (Mark 7:10-13 ; 1 Timothy 5:8 ), but not to neglect our spiritual calling in the process.

Its straightforward enough.....let the dead bury the dead.......meaning concentrate on what matters cuz we are gonna die. Meaning those burying the dead will soon join the dead. Death will come for everyone. What's more important is to secure for yourself what matters and that's a lovely afterlife.

No that is your own interpretation. The man wanted to go and bury someone. You add meanings into things to justify your own way of thinking.
