I have tried understanding that scripture since I was a kid, till now I still don't understand. Does he mean the owo attack that people died in the church, living members shouldn't have buried them. But leave them there for the dead people to come bury them? 12 Likes 6 Shares |

I come in peace to witness this violence, not to partake in it in any form but to feed off of it. I do not support the oppressor neither do I feel for the oppressed and I will not tolerate anyone who seek peace, for violence is the only option. On this ground will I seat and witness unrest. So help me God✋� 105 Likes 15 Shares |

Here is what led to Jesus saying those words: Luke 9:59 He (Jesus) said to another man, “Follow me.” But he replied, “Lord, first let me go and bury my father.” Then Jesus reply: Luke 9:60 Jesus said to him, “Let the dead bury their own dead, but you go and proclaim the kingdom of God.” So what does it mean ? The word "dead" is used twice in the sentence. The first one refers to those who are alive but dead (spiritually). These people do not know about God or believe in God. The second one refers to someone who is dead (physically and spiritually). That is someone who died without knowing God. The man Jesus was talking to has already found Jesus. So he is not dead (spiritually), that is why Jesus was setting his priorities straight. Saying he should leave the dead (spiritually dead) to bury their dead (spiritually and physically dead). 354 Likes 35 Shares |

YoudeyVexme: OP, you know the saying that it's only when you die that people will Value you right? Like, People have alot of good things to say and do for you but, YOU JUST HAVE TO DIE FIRST!  It simply means that: we should spend our time and energy on living people, not on dead people. 78 Likes 6 Shares

It means, you're truly living when you're more invested in things of the spiritual. You're dead when you're majorly material minded. 12 Likes 2 Shares |

| this is what being a devoted Christian filled in the holy spirit can solve. When they tell you to go church join bible study classes you won't. Now you are asking the world something you should have known as a Christian 4 Likes 2 Shares |

It literally means that you should face your own matter and do not meddle in what does not concern you. Meanwhile Happy fathers day to every responsible fathers out there. Those that are shouldering their responsibility as the MAN of the house, loving their wives as their help meet and pointing their children to the right way. May the Lord bless and keep.you all in Jesus name. Amen 18 Likes 2 Shares
