So what is the correct thing to say? How do you interpret that story in the Bible?

This is the true and "contextual" meaning of that story:

When Jesus was on the cross and cried out:

> “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?”
> — Matthew 27:46

He was not “forgetting” that He is the Savior. Rather, He was revealing several deep spiritual truths.

First, Pentecostal believers understand that Jesus is both fully God and fully man. While on earth, He lived as the Son in relationship with the Father. Throughout His ministry, He prayed to the Father, depended on the Father, and obeyed the Father. The cross did not cancel that relationship.

Second, at that moment on the cross, Jesus was carrying the sins of the whole world. The Bible says:

> “He who knew no sin became sin for us.”

Sin separates humanity from God. On the cross, Jesus experienced the terrible weight and suffering of bearing mankind’s sin. His cry expressed the agony of that moment.

Third, Jesus was also fulfilling prophecy. He was quoting Psalm 22, written centuries before His birth. That Psalm begins with “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?” but ends in victory and vindication. By speaking those words, Jesus was showing that He was the promised Messiah fulfilling Scripture.

Now, why didn’t He “call on Himself”?

Because within Christian belief, the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit are distinct persons in one Godhead. Trinity does not mean Jesus was talking to Himself like one person acting alone. The Son was speaking to the Father in the eternal relationship that has always existed within the Godhead.

Also, Jesus came to model perfect surrender and trust in God even in suffering. On the cross He showed humanity how to remain faithful even in pain, darkness, and sacrifice.

So His cry was not weakness or contradiction. It was:

* the suffering of the sin-bearer,
* the fulfillment of prophecy,
* the expression of His human agony,
* and the continuing relationship between the Son and the Father.

And importantly, after that suffering, He still declared victory. Before He died, He said:

> “It is finished.”

Meaning the work of salvation was completed.

This is what it means, not what AntiChristian implies by half quotation of the story/scripture.

AntiChristian:
Even when Jesus was dying he called on his God and not himself!

Your problem is, you think and believe so much that you know the Bible, whereas reverse is the case. With this comment, you obviously don't truly know the Bible. Humble yourself and be open minded so you can comprehend the TRUTH. Ignorance leads to destruction o.

Saying a First Class in Sociology is SUPERIOR to a 2.1 in Law is DELUSIONAL.

The courses listed by the OP are some of the MOST USELESS courses anybody can study in Nigeria TODAY.
Regardless of what they graduate with.

IF you have kids, mentees or siblings looking for admission; this is a perfect list of courses to AVOID.

Unless their main target is POVERTY and UNEMPLOYMENT.

Also, getting a First Class Degree in English is almost IMPOSSIBLE.

I attended a School that's nearly 40 years old and they'd NEVER had a First Class Graduate in their English Department.

Quite true. I read English and literature. And with all my brilliance, I couldn't graduate with first class. I've never seen anyone with a first class in English. Most of my lecturers graduated with 3rd class.

Ironbull:
Focus on your party stop getting too unecessary busy about apc. You can't defeat Tinubu stop disturbing yourself.

You couldn't beat him when he wasn't the president so is it now you want to defeat him? You can't stop Tinubu just stop wasting your time he has done what he want to do and that is why he is just looking at you like small pikin wey sabi nothing...you can't defeat him..

Enough of all these thrash of you can't defeat Tinubu blablabla. If he's so sure of being a master strategist and one that is so loved, tell him to conduct free and fair elections.

Parachoko:
Anybody who has partake in a primary election can't partake in another primary election again

That means Fubara has a smart plan then.

I love this appointment. This guy would definitely deliver.

When I read all that "build a better Nigeria" from obi and his clones I just chuckle. It's comical when people are deliberately foooling themselves and lying to themselves.

You ended up saying nothing, actually.

I'm very happy those who won on the platform of Labour Party, but defected to APC lose out. The likes of Senator N#da Im@suen who benefited from Obi's popularity but decided to become wicked in the Senate by asslicking Senate President. Imagine the role of Senator N#da Im@suen in the unjust suspension of my own best Senator Natasha. God is good. Thank you APC for this one. The hunter became the hunted and victim.

I love the courage and boldness of that woman. She must be a powerful individual in that state. APC has won the award: the worst thing to ever happen to Nigeria. That woman's prayer would be the lot of all enablers and supporters of rigging of elections in Nigeria to enthrone devilish leaders.

HacheNoire:
His whole popularity starts and end in Kano!

Thank God you invariably agree he owns Kano.

Richtaiwo:
Natasha is performing exceptionally well in her constituency. In fact, she represents the very definition of what a senator ought to be. Unless the majority of Kogi Central are suffering from collective mental impairment, that criminal called Yahaya Bello should be publicly disgraced for ever imagining himself worthy of representing Kogi Central in the Senate.

Best comment from Richtaiwo ever. We are going to disgrace that criminal in Kogi Central. Natasha would remain our Senator except FG foist Yahaya Bello on us via rigging.

D.travel.

I run VTU services. If I get 500k now, I'll inject it into the business because I need more funds to stock data to stabilize the business.

IGBO GrOUP URGES SOUTH EAST AND SOUTH SOUTH TO PREPARE FOR BIAFRA AGITATION IF 2027 PRESIDENCY IS DENIED
_Group says it is painful to keep depriving Igbos of the presidency after decades of calls for equity_

Enugu, Nigeria – A coalition of Igbo socio-political groups has called on the people of the South East and South south to begin preparing for renewed Biafra agitation if an Igbo candidate fails to secure the Nigeria' presidency in 2027.

In a statement released on Monday, the group said it had become clear that repeated appeals for power rotation and equity had not yielded results, and that part of the old Eastern Region remained sidelined in Nigeria’s political arrangement.

“The South East and South south were once one administrative unit as the old Eastern Region,” the statement read. “We share history, geography, and common interests. It is painful to keep depriving the Igbos of getting Nigeria’s presidency while other regions have taken multiple turns.”

The group said that after over 50 years since the civil war, the South East remained the only zone yet to produce an elected president in the Fourth Republic. It warned that if this injustice continued in 2027, the people would have no choice but to return to the question of self-determination.

The coalition urged all indigenous people of the old Eastern Region in the South East and South south to start making plans, including selling off assets and investments outside both regions, in anticipation of a possible political separation.

It also addressed non-indigenes living in the South East and South south, saying: “We appeal to Yorubas, Northerners, and other Nigerians residing in the old Eastern Region to begin making peaceful arrangements to return to their native lands. This is not a call for violence, but for an orderly process should the people decide to pursue a separate state.”

The statement added that the group would pursue its objectives through peaceful advocacy and international engagement, but warned that the patience of the people was running thin.

Political analysts say the comments reflect growing frustration in the South East over perceived exclusion from the presidency, even as major parties have yet to announce their zoning arrangements for 2027.

This is an outdated propaganda. Nobody is buying this sh!t. Go and re-strategize.

South south is Igbo land.

Then that means it's not long Igbo left presidency in the person of Goodluck Jonathan. What's now the noise about igbo presidency?

iyke484real:
Good evening fellow Nairalanders.

Something happened today that has really made me question myself as a man, and I sincerely need honest advice from mature minds here.

Earlier today, my younger one went to the field to play football. After some time, he came back home crying seriously with blood rushing from his head. According to him, he had an altercation with someone much bigger than him, and the person picked up a stick and hit him on the head.

Immediately, I became angry and asked him to take me to the field to identify the person that injured him. Deep down, I was expecting myself to react aggressively because I felt any normal man would naturally defend his younger one and confront the person strongly.

When we got there and I saw the guy, something happened to me. Instead of fighting or causing a serious scene, I just started asking questions about what happened. I couldn’t bring myself to react violently or aggressively the way many people probably would have. I eventually carried my younger one and went back home.

Since then, I have been feeling ashamed and disappointed in myself.

The painful part is that this is not the first time I have noticed this about myself. I always seem to avoid problems, confrontations, or situations that may escalate. Even when I am angry, I still start thinking about consequences, expenses, police issues, public embarrassment, injuries, and other complications that may arise if things get out of hand.

Because of this, I often withdraw instead of standing my ground fully.

Now I am beginning to feel like I am too timid and not confrontational enough as a man should be. Sometimes I feel weak, powerless, and unable to command respect the way other men do. I see some people react boldly in difficult situations while I keep overthinking consequences and avoiding escalation.

Honestly, it is affecting the way I see myself.

Please, I need sincere advice from experienced people here:

- How can someone stop being too timid or fearful?
- How do you become more confident and confrontational when necessary?
- How do you stand your ground as a man without always retreating?
- Is this kind of behavior weakness, or is there another way to look at it?
- What practical things can I start doing to become mentally stronger and more assertive?

I would genuinely appreciate honest advice, especially from men who may have struggled with similar issues before overcoming them.

Lol. You have good temperament and you're complaining. This is exactly what I've been praying for since 2016. I envy you. I'm not violent though and not confrontational but I have my limits. Once you cross that limits, I lose it entirely and I don't like the consequences and myself afterwards. I'm very gentle, calm and empathetic but dangerous which I don't like at all. Be grateful to God o.

WizardOfNG:
Bro, wait and see what Kwankwaso does next na. I am happy with what NDC and labour have done , zoning their ticket to the South, but we should never have being in this position if Obi and co had not cowardly failed to maintain a unified frontal push in 2023 to insistently show Atiku and co that no Northerner is allowed to contest.

Bode George shouted himself deaf insisting PDP must not allow her 2023 ticket go to the North. Instead Obi fled rather than defend that noble and honourable position as Wike did in PDP. With Tinubu, Amaechi, Osinbajo etal doing same in APC.

the South never presented any serious challenge in the 2015 and 2019 elections because the rotation agreement had made those period the exclusive turn of the North.

Dem no born south well to misbehave when it is the turn of the North yet some Northerners, through Atiku and and Southern turncoats including Obi, felt comfortable enough to actually attempt hijacking the turn of the South.

Atiku and Tambuwal etal made a serious effort, totally disdainful of the South, to replace Buhari in 2023 that meant , had Atiku won, Fulanis could have ended up leading Nigeria for 16 unbroken years.

Obi is now running around wanting zoning to the South to favour him when his is only a victim today of his cowardice that made him not stand his ground and fight for what what a man must fight for when he must.

Regarding 2023, Peter Obi took the right decision to make a clear statement. ATIKU actually agreed on zoning PDP ticket to the South, but specifically to the South East, which Wike stood against and maneuvered PDP into open contest hoping to outsmart ATIKU. Obi's Presence in the PDP wouldn't have made any difference. But he pulled out and proved his political strength to the chagrin of APC, KWANKWASO and others. That his 2023 decision has made him a political heavyweight today in Nigeria.

Reloadedisraelp:
guy structure matters alot but PO redefine that thing 2023 by getting 6.1m vote.... But this time the hunger in the land is like x2 of what we experience in 2023....so is like the 6.1m vote will double if atiku just step down from contesting....

His lack of structure really affected his numbers in 2023. He would have gotten more than that. It also made it easier for bad players to rig some states like Rivers.

Ofunaofu:
https://www.arise.tv/former-arise-news-anchor-ikokwu-dumps-adc-for-ndc/

My only problem with NDC is lack of structure. How will they build a watertight structure that'll match the criminalities of Anti people's Congress (APC) in such a short time?

DomPerignon:
You never begin cry.

Obi is on his way to ZLP before the end of Friday this week.

Kwankwasso will dislodge and chase him away from NDC so as to get the ticket for himself.

Not that Kwankwasso will chase Obi out but by merely demanding for primaries to determine who will bear the party flag, Kwankwasso will chase Obi to ZLP

Oga, you're not up to date. NDC has zoned Presidency to the South like LP and others. Is Kwankwaso from the South?

Fubara is the next Governor of Rivers state. QED

My laptop ports (all) just stopped working all of a sudden. The laptop is kind of still fresh (bought brand new). I've tried formatting it manually, yet still the same issue.

Anybody with ideas?

Change the OS and install USB drivers from the product official website.

In 2022 they used Pat Utomi and Labour Party to draw him away. In 2026, he fell for the same trick.

Man needs to stop being used as a vessel.

You're already getting erection on top fake news. Nawa o.

Hmm. Nigeria security situation is just complex. This is why I'm having a second thought on State police. No empathy or dignity for human lives. Why are we like this?

WizardOfNG:
Lol. Like Gbajabiamila said "enter dem, scatter dem and finish dem".

ADC is the main challenge to PBAT and APC. Yet they are done already before election day because the Party is nothing but a congregation of desperate political oloshos.

2027 is the year the lord has set for the emancipation of Nigeria 😎

Emancipation? How na? 😂😂
Do you mean Kurumbu caged Nigeria and he's the one to free her again? This is more than Saussuran Paradox o

Anyone who believes this hogwash should have his brain checked... This isn't even close to propaganda!

I'm an ardent supporter of his Excellency, Peter Obi. But I don't see Obi/Kwankwaso ticket going through. Politics isn't aesthetics; it's fact and reality devoid of emotions. His surest way to advance politically is to deputize ATIKU. That's unfortunately the ticket that can get kurumbu out of power right now.
