Most Christians through the centuries have wanted to be buried after death with a ceremony that proclaims the message of resurrection; that ceremony, containing various rites and traditions, has come to be known as “Christian burial.”
Christian burial is not an explicitly biblical term. The Bible doesn't give instructions on how a body should be handled after death. In the cultures of Bible times, burial in a tomb, cave, or in the ground was the common way to dispose of a human body (Genesis 23:19; 35:4; 2 Chronicles 16:14; Matthew 27:60–66). The most common mode of burial in the Bible was to place the dead in above-ground tombs, for those who could afford it. For those who could not afford it, bodies were buried in the ground. In the New Testament, above-ground tombs were still reserved as burial places for the wealthy. This is why Jesus, who had no earthly wealth at all, was buried in a borrowed tomb (Matthew 27:57–60).

Today, obeying the laws of the land regarding corpses is a significant consideration. Laws vary from country to country.Christians are to obey the government authorities, laws regarding the disposing of a body must be followed. The fact that Jews and early Christians practiced burial exclusively is enough to persuade some people to choose burial today. In the end, it is best to leave that decision to the family of the deceased.

The method used to dispose of a body is not nearly as important as the truth behind the concept of Christian burial: that the body is no longer housing the person who has died. Paul describes our bodies as “tents,” that is, temporary abodes. “Now we know that if the earthly tent we live in is destroyed, we have a building from God, an eternal house in heaven, not built by human hands” (2 Corinthians 5:1). When Jesus returns, Christians will be raised to life, and our bodies will be transformed to glorified, eternal bodies. “So will it be with the resurrection of the dead. The body that is sown is perishable, it is raised imperishable; it is sown in dishonor, it is raised in glory; it is sown in weakness, it is raised in power” (1 Corinthians 15:42–43).

The Bible doesn't give instructions on how a body should be handled after death.

The bible respect peoples culture and tradition, that is why marriage during the time of Jesus was done according to the tradition of the Jews. Also, Lazarus was buried according to the tradition of the Jews and even Jesus was buried in Jews traditional way. Bury your dead according to the tradition of your people. Don't compare Christianity and Islam. Islam is a cult, Christianity is Christ

I am deeply concern as regards the dictate of Christianity as a religion, the guides and procedures for burying our dead relatives. I found it necessary to bring it up here as the Muslims has a unique way of handling it. Does bible stipulates any guidance?

3hours ago,I had a heated argument with some Igbos at a The Young Shall Grow park near my house when I went to escort my mum who was travelling to the east today. It was all about Buhari's presidential candidacy.
No be small thing o! At least I was able to convince few of them why they should vote for Buhari. The others say they will not vote for anyone instead let the county divide.
What is seen on nairaland by some Igbos opposed to Buhari is clearly what is happening in reality.
They were impressed with me as a female who loves politics with passion. Hehehehe!!

WHO IS AFRAID OF BUHARI? 
I write this because of millions of Nigerians who are below 30 and who constitute a significant chunk of our voting population.
This is the ICT generation that is largely ignorant about the events of the Buhari era (1984-85) and so can be
misinformed and misled by needless propaganda. I have sat with many in the under-30 bracket and those slightly above who only have faint recollections of the Buhari era and the level of ignorance about that era is amazing.

Before being MILITARY Head of State, Buhari had been Governor of one of the Northern States (under Obasanjo’s Military government) as well as Minister for Petroleum. He later served as Chairman of PTF under Abacha.

Please consider the following unassailable facts:
He birthed and supervised the establishment of our existing refineries.
There was no religious crisis while he was Head of State. It started under his successor IBB!
In his time as Head of State he reduced inflation from 23% to 4%, by fiscal discipline and a homegrown economic team (not achieved under any other era, even military).
JJ Rawlings of Ghana took over 2yrs before him, and killed all the corrupt leaders, while Buhari only sentenced the corrupt leaders here to prison.
Under his watch as PTF Chairman, what he did in road construction in that short period hasn't been matched by almost 16yrs of the PDP rule.
Hospitals and universities around the country never witnessed as much benefits as they got from the PTF from any government after or before his time.
Despite serving in senior capacity in the oil sector, first as Minister for Petroleum and then Petroleum Trust Fund, Buhari has no petrol station, much less a rig, refinery or an oil block like so many of our so called leaders.
He could have retired into nauseating opulence like most of his counterparts (IBB or Danjuma or even OBJ) but didn't.
Instead of hobnobbing with the high and mighty, he has cast his lot with the ordinary man most of who follow him out

BETWEEN JONATHAN AND BUHARI

From the responses of so many people to this Buhari/Jonathan presidential contest, I noticed that those who love Buhari love him for cogent reasons like

1. He is principled
2. Criminals in power fear him
3. He will make Nigerians sit up
4. He has the political will to confront issues.
5. He has the incorruptibility that we need
5. No one can point fingers at him for anything.
6. The allegations against him are mere 'dem say.'

Those who speak for Jonathan have these to say
1. He dey try. He dey do im best.
2. Na Christian. We don't want to vote for a Northern Muslim who is pro-Boko Haram.
3. We can't trust Buhari, he is a jihadist.
4. We don't want Nigeria to be like Iraq, Egypt, Iran, Syria, etc.
5. ISIS, Al Qaeda, Boko Haram are children of the same mother. Buhari is their sponsor!

Until now, no one has said he will vote Jonathan because he is competent! Jonathan propagandists know that he is a weakling, clueless, unfit and undeserving of another term but if he would be replaced, NOT Buhari. Why? Sentiments!

Every Nigerian Christian know that Buhari, though a Muslim, is many many many many times better than Jonathan who carries a Christian tag. But they are scared to give him a chance for fear and suspicion of his unfounded Islamic commitments.

I am yet to see any thing Jonathan has done to better the lot of Christians either in Abuja or Nigeria in general. Mention one!

May God open our eyes to leave ringworm and tackle our cognate leprosy

Scene 1:
Mr. President losses Mubi and keeps quiet, no
emergency meeting no emergency call to CDC, IGP
And DSS boss nothing changed and nothing
happened that's normal to him I guessed.

Scene 2:
PDP lose speaker of the house of assembly to the
opposition and all hell is let loose. He called
emergency meeting with PDP chairman. With
governors, with members of NASS, he acts by
removing Tambuwal's security details. He called
IGP, AGF, SANS and many more.

Scene 3:
Governor Fashola was on his way to Makkah for Pilgrimage when Ebola broke out in his State, he turned back and went back home to fight Ebola with little or no support from the Federal Government, visiting Ebola victims, volunteers and First Consultants where the first case of Ebola was discovered. Boko Haram takes over Mubi again, bringing death and destruction to the people of the State while the State and Nigerians call for help. The next day, President Jonathan heads to Burkina Faso to help them find peace!, and for which the Military Leader has not bulged!

Questions: Please what is Mr. president's main priority? National Security or PDP Security?

And you are a fan of a coupist Buhari.

He shall never benefit from the democracy he truncated.
