Why did God has to get himself nailed to the cross to forgive people their sins? Why didn't he simply forgive their sins? Or better yet use his omniscient knowledge of the future and omnipotence power to arrange situations that people won't choose to sin, not necessarily overriding their free will?

Why?

Thank you for your questions.
To answer your first and second questions, there are many lessons and reasons of the crucifixion at Calvary, let me just give you few:

1. God has the power to forgive sins without having need to get Jesus nailed on the cross. However, God wants us to know that He respects sacrifice. He proved this by giving His best as a sacrifice to Himself for our sins. So when we make very costly sacrifice, God knows what it takes us to make such sacrifice.

2. God wa andnts to demonstrate the power in covenant made with blood. The blood of Jesus was shed as a covenant that God shall forgive whoever that accepts Jesus as Savior and genuinely repents from their sins.

3. God wants to demonstrate to mankind that He is the greatest giver. He wants us to know that He loves us and if He can give Himself for us, there is nothing too hard or too big that He cannot give us.

4. God wants us to know that He loves us more than anything else. There is no greater love than when a man gives his life to be killed in place of another person's life.

5. God wants us to know that there is no suffering or hardship that we pass through that He has not passed through before us. He wants us to know that He has felt our pain before and if any of His child (Christian) is facing persecution, He has also experienced persecution and He knows the agony. Jesus was mocked, spat upon, slapped in the face, flogged, denied water when he was thirsty, pierced with spear, lied upon, denied by His friend, hated by His own people, He was called bad names, denied justice, was innocent but a notorious criminal was freed in His exchange, was eventually killed unjustly, He experienced death, and was buried. He has all experience of suffering anybody can have, so that we should not think He doesn't know what it takes to go through pain or suffering. However, He rose from the dead because He was not an ordinary man, He only came to save us from the power of sin and hell.

To answer your third question; God gives us power to make our decision, He does not impose His own way on us, He has given us ability to make our choices. However, He would always warn us of consequences of making the wrong decision or choice. That is why He warned the first man and woman about sin and consequence of death. But the people were deceived by the devil and disobeyed God.

"Today I Renounce Buccaneer Confraternity, I Found Jesus" Man Says

A man posted a video online with the caption, "today February 11th, I renounce being a member of the buccaneer confraternity, I have found the true light, Jesus".

He was seen ripping his yellow beret to pieces with a scissors.

Congratulations 👏🎉.
You have dumped the way of condemnation to embrace the way of salvation. May your testimony remain permanent in Jesus Name, Amen.

Innocent people and children being paraded like criminals in their own country. What will these children say about their country when they grow up and find this picture?

I don't think the victim is a runner. But why will an ambulance be involved in such a careless accident?

This is the best pictorial representation of valentine. John 3:16 says for God so LOVED the world that he gave his only begotten son......the love of God is the greatest love for vain is the help of man.
Shalom 🙏

Expect them to come and drag you and abuse your God anytime soon.

To the person that ask why did God have to die and not use His power to change things. Below is the answer:

Lol... X is e-sabo.

That's all they do there, beg.
Funny thing is most of them don't even need it. They are just failed fraudsters that have seen begging online as the latest "update" and people keep indulging them.

e-sabo, chai...savagery par excellence 🤣🤣🤣

Yes, what goes around comes around.
I'm not surprised, we dey talk am since some think say na memes.

Yes, it's coming around in the South East too, a bomb was recently found in a church premises.

Kidnapping is now fully spread across the country.

So government is still paying subsidy on electricity, and they told us that the reason why there is sharp increase in electricity tariff is because they removed electricity subsidy.

Good afternoon everyone
Happy weekend

Please I need insight from people on the recommended fee I can pay someone to drive my car from Abuja to Ibadan. My car is a 2011 Camry with a four cylinder engine.

My current plan is 100k for fuelling and 100k for his services.

Thank you very much

The far distance will tell on the mileage of your car. If you have the financial capacity I will advise you hire a flat bed truck to carry your car from Abuja to Ibadan. This will cost you a lot of money but will save your car the stress and wear and tear.

Mobog:
So we plenty for here.

See another correct person o, shey we no go get association for Nairaland bayi? 🤷

Treasury of Rivers State will be the ransome paid to continue to maintain this deal.

And some of the course mates may be using a torch phone that is binded with rubber band.

OlujobaSamuel:
Who will arrest the lecturer that instruct the course rep to start selling books.
In Fed Poly Ilaro for example, no lecturer is allowed to sell texts to student, you take it to the school book shop, determine your price and sell, and you don't make it compulsory for students to buy, although some find a way to bypass the compulsion rule by instructing the class rep to collect all receipts details

My alumnus sighted here. Great FPI

Ybholy:
Only answer questions you know the answers. Must you comment on every thread?


Over 100 people read and pass. You know why? Cox they don’t know the price of the PC.

Sorry o, senior advocate of yeye.

Ybholy:
He only asked for the rate and not opinions.

Nigerians like to shift the narrative all the time

Is that the reason he should abuse everybody on his thread? No wonder he calls himself a yeyebrity.

He killed her and still used her phone to send inappropriate messages? That's like a serial killer. He should be sentenced to death without further delay.

yeyebrity:
Lol...Nigerians and oversabi. I asked to state the price of the PC if you have one in stock, and people who have never invented a torch light in their lives before are telling me how bad the PC is. If Celeron Processors are that awful, then why are they still in the market? I will help you answer that... Because they are budget laptops suitable for low end users like students and individuals who use their system to perform basic tasks.

The reason I specifically asked for this is because a PC with the same specification was damaged and the owner is asking for a replacement. Do you expect me to go and buy a high end PC used by gamers? If you guys are really knowledgeable about PC like you are trying to portray, then you should know that there are PC's for basic users and not everyone requires a high end PC with the intel core components to perform basic tasks.

Besides, I once used a PC with the Intel Celeron component for many years, and the only limitation I had was the RAM capacity of the PC. The system served its purpose, and I won't hesitate to buy it again if I see something like that with a higher RAM capacity. If I ever want a gaming laptop, I know where to look.

Na wa for you o. You did not state the purpose of the PC you are asking about and instead of you to appreciate the people that tried to lend a voice, you just let all hell loose and leash out on anyone that come your way. You people just easily get frustrated unnecessarily. If the people that gave you suggestions had known that you know better, nobody would have given your post any attention in the first place.

Every generation swears their own era was the real one and then time humbles all of us. Whether we like it or not, today’s artists are shaping memories for someone the same way the “legends” did for us.

If that's the case, then in the future what this generation will remember as music in their time would only be sex and weed.

YoungBTCxchange:
De that's fucking lie, there are so many musicians that sing exact like that now but you are not listening to them you are listening to tWizkid, the one that is trending so stop that nonsense

Give me good examples and stop barking.

BigCowHornn:
No matter what anybody says people like you will always come up with negatives

At 50 years 2baba is not their generation

What negativity did you spot in that harmless post? I will advise you to steer clear from me and maintain your lane, I'm not your regular social media troll.

yeyebrity:
If you have this PC in stock, pls state your rate. The model pic is attached below.

I will advise you abort this mission. This laptop you show has Intel celeron processor, not a very reliable processor. A basic laptop in this part of the world should be at least Intel core i3 to be able to withstand the weather condition and rugged use. Also, consider memory size and battery durability when buying a laptop.

It is such a pity that this generation does not have musicians that sing meaningful songs like Fela Anikulapo Kuti, Onyeka Onwenu, Sunny Okosun, Oriental Brothers, Rex Lawson, Evi Edna Ogoli, Christy Essien Igbokwe, Sir Victor Uwaifo, Bright Chimezie, Chief Commander Ebenezer Obey, King Sunny Ade, Orlando Owoh, Pa I.K. Dairo, Sir Victor Olaiya, Kayode Fashola, Sikiru Ayinde Barrister etc.
All we hear in the music nowadays are weed, yahoo and sex.

For me, if all you know how to sing about is weed, money and babes, you are nothing but a noise maker.

HacheNoire:
STOP brainwashing kids with fictional takes in the name of religion.

Teach them morals, values and etiquettes and let them use their own inquisitiveness to find religion.

Y’all be planting bibles and Qurans insides your children’s brains instead of aligning them with basics that will set them up for the future.

The day you tell a child God created everything is the day you killed his consciousness and inquisitiveness. They become dull, slow and sluggish in life because they believe a sky daddy got their back. Their reasoning and creativity has been murdered from a young age by fictional religious stories.

"In God We Trust" is written on the American dollar, yet the reasoning and creativity prowess of their younger generations never die but remain stronger.

South Africa did not get its independence in 1990.

South Africa gained self government in 1910 and it became independent in 1934.

However, the minority white population ruled the country and discriminated against the blacks until 1994. One-man-one-vote democracy came in 1994.

Angola and Mozambique gained independence in 1975. However, both countries were in civil wars even before independence.

In both countries there were groups that were supported by most African countries (especially Nigeria), the Soviet Union and Cuba and they were opposed to groups that were supported by the racist government of South Africa, the United States and the United Kingdom.

South Africa invaded Angola and Nigeria provided money weapons to the Angolan Government.

Thanks for the insight. I have also confirmed from Google and it buttresed your points. I usually look out for your posts in Nairaland because they are always useful.
