The Bible passages quoted seem incoherent (sorry I mean no harm) . The first quote obviously refer to the religious leader, and more specifically the prophets. Knowing the christocentricity of Bible theology, the leader is ultimately Christ. You don't have to agree, but I think it's referring to blasphemy, not some casual expression of disapproval of a king. Because if we go by your explanation, then John the baptist insulted Herod; Elijah insulted Ahab; the prophets who voiced their concerns with the bad kings "insulted" the king. IPeter refers to speaking evil of people in revenge, not kings/rulers. If you read patiently, you'll see it's about how Christians in persecution need to bless and not curse their persecutors 3 Likes 1 Share |

Will they hear? There's a difference between constructive criticism and cheer hatred for a person. Some folks are never objective,their criticism are as a result of deep seated hatred and post election defeat syndrome 2 Likes 1 Share |

Wantedmiller: No, these stupid xtians will come with another quote to justify abuse of power. You should tolerate all ills, afterall the bible says that 'slaves should be obedient', it doesn't say that slaves should demand rights and freedom nor does it call slave masters an abomination. 1 Like |

mmsen: Even when the Bible was clear in describing what we do? Did the Bible not say if you do well and good, you shall be praised and if you do not well, you shall be dishonored? Did we not praise Barth Nnaji for giving us too much light and do we not curse the Idiots in Also Rock, in accordance with what is written in the Bible? 1 Like |

Xavfra: Be confused, because it has been a lie all along. Nothing in the old Testament has passed away and easiest one to spot is which one of the popular 10 Commandments, is not in effect today? All laws or at least good laws created by man, have them, today. 1 Like |

Bible was talking about Israeli leaders and leaders whose interest is to serve their people, not Nigerian leaders whose interest is to enrich themselves, their family members and political associates & concubines. 99.9% of Nigerian leaders are heartless corrupt criminals!! 2 Likes |

We are human but cannot run away from this fact or rather claim to be innocent when it comes to pouring insult on bad leaders. We are guilty and ignorant at thesame times but we pray God that have mercy on us. |

IJOBA2: Old things are passed away does not refer to the old testament, it was referring to the old man which is the sinful nature in human which when we repent are forgotten. Hence, old things (sinful human) becomes an history, hence are passed away and we are become new, because we are born again That verse refers to us as humans, not the Bible or old testament Here is the verse, 2 Corinthians 5:17 Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new. Referring to the forgiveness and forgetting of sins Hebrews 10:17 And their sins and iniquities will I remember no more. |

People like the Op are the reason why Africa may never develop. They have been trained and brainwashed to respect, honour, worship and even die for their oppressors. If Jesus Christ had lived with so much stinking docility like the one being promoted by the Op, then He wouldn't have needed to be killed by the leaders of the temple and the community. Nigeria and Africa need to raise a new generation of men and women who will not just speak against (yes even insult) bad leaders, but who will rise up and remove those leaders from any office of influence... Stop using God and religion to protect mediocrity in leadership. 4 Likes |
