@officialABAT Nigeria’s President says land and air offensives … insurgent’s counterattack? … resolve to beat terrorism… Nigeria is a bad joke. Foul smelling terrible joke.
MASSACRE DE CRISTÃOS NO CONGO: Militantes islâmicos acabam de atacar uma aldeia cristã em Ituri. Centenas de pessoas morreram. Este é o mais recente ataque de uma campanha das Forças "Democráticas" Aliadas (ADF) para aniquilar a população cristã do Congo. E, mais uma vez, o Ocidente faz cara de paisagem e permanece em silêncio.
"Influencers who obsessively condemn Israel while staying silent on Islamic militants' atrocities against Christians in places like the Congo must be called out for their blatant double standards. These jihadist attacks on believers could spread anywhere if left unchecked. #Congo #Israel #PersecutedChristians"
🚨 CHRISTIANS MASSACRED IN THE CONGO
Islamic militants just raided a Christian village in Ituri. Hundreds are dead. Thousands more injured.
It is the latest attack in a campaign by the ADF to annihilate the Christian population of the Congo.
And once again, the West is silent.
Some of y'all come from the "If you quit crying I’ll buy you something" generation.
I came from the “If you don't quit crying I’ll give you something to cry about" generation.
We’re not the same.
Understand this: The movies and shows about the crucifixion have been tame when compared to what He actually went through.
Even The Passion Of The Christ was forced to hold back a little in order to avoid an X rating.
Crucifixion was, and still is, arguably the most excruciating death someone can experience.
The night before in Gethsemane, He was sweating blood. This is known as hematidrosis. This would have caused His skin to become extremely sensitive, thus making the beatings to come even worse.
The fear He felt was the beginning of His feeling the weight of our iniquities being laid on Him.
Yet - in this moment, He didn’t demand that the Father take it from Him. He only asked for the cup to pass Him over if it was within the Father’s will.
Up next came the Cat of Nine Tails, or a Roman Flagrum. This was a weapon with long leather “tails”, each embedded with sharp bones and metal.
He was flogged 39 times as Jewish law mandated “40 minus one”, because 40 was said to kill a man.
This flogging wasn’t like being punished by your father’s leather belt.
Every strike tore flesh, every strike exposed muscle. Every strike exposed nerve endings. Every strike tore flesh to the bone.
This would be like getting struck with razor blades over and over again, leading to hypovolemic shock from blood loss.
Oh, and the crown of thorns? These weren’t rose thorns. These were thorns which were 2-3 inches long. Beaten into his skull.
These thorns would have pierced his skull, tripping the trigeminal nerve, thus causing unimaginable pain and even more blood loss from the dozens of head wounds.
At this point, extreme nausea and dizziness would begin to set in.
What came next? Carrying the cross. Which weighed around 300lbs. This would be like carrying two full kegs on your back.
Splinters and wood grating against the open flesh on His back. And He had to carry it 650 yards, or close to a half mile.
Imagine carrying a log on your back after being skinned alive.
Up next? He was nailed to the cross with spikes 5-7in in length. Piercing His wrists - this no doubt pierced the median nerve, causing extreme burning sensations up and down His arms.
A spike was driven through his ankles - severing nerves and tendons. This would have felt like standing on broken glass every time He pushed Himself up in order to breathe.
He suffered for 6 hours.
His chest muscles collapsing, making every single breath a fight for life.
His shoulders were dislocated, His arms stretching unnaturally long.
His heart was struggling to pump blood.
He was extremely dehydrated, His lips cracking.
His heart more than likely literally ruptured from the stress.
And on top of all of that, He had to feel a separation with the Father for a period of time in order to REALLY bear the weight of our sin.
He took up this burden for ALL sin before Him, and ALL sin which came after Him.
HE DID IT ALL FOR US.
To free us. To defeat sin. To give us a pathway to the Kingdom.
Every sin we commit is exactly why He had to do it.
And the real kicker? He knew what was coming when He rode into Jerusalem … and He didn’t turn around. He kept going.
For us.
An imam ordered the killing of a preacher in Nigeria.
Eunice Olawale was a deaconess at the Redeemed Christian Church of God in Kubwa, Abuja.
She was a mother of seven children.
Every single morning at 5am, before her family woke up, she would walk out into the dark streets of Abuja with a megaphone and a Bible to preach.
Nigerians call it "morning cry."
Weeks before she died, she came home and told her husband that men from a nearby mosque were unhappy with her preaching.
Her husband warned her to be careful.
She went back out the next morning anyway.
On July 9, 2016, she left the house at 5am as usual.
By 5:30am, neighbours heard her voice fade mid-sentence.
Then they heard her screaming "Blood of Jesus" repeatedly.
When they found her, she was lying in a pool of blood on the street with stab wounds to her stomach and cuts to her neck.
Her Bible was beside her. Her megaphone was beside her. Her phone was beside her.
They took nothing. The only intention was to kill her.
Her husband drove to the police station with two of his children and at the gate he saw a pickup van leaving with his wife's lifeless body in the back.
Eight people were arrested. Six were released immediately.
Five months later, police had not named a single suspect publicly.
The local Imam admitted he sent young men to chase her away from the street but denied telling them to kill her.
Nobody was ever charged. Nobody was ever tried. Nobody was ever convicted.
Two years after her murder, her family was still publicly begging for answers.
A woman killed in broad daylight with her Bible in her hand, and her killers are still free.
💔 🇳🇬
We are NOT going to blame a grieving mother!!! She will go anywhere if she believes she can get justice.
We should be holding the president that failed her and then subjected her to the humiliation of being dragged across the state.
Again, we will NOT blame a grieving mother
@MasterMaliq Why compare crusades to Islam. One is a military campaign, the other is a religion. But like Muhammed, you lie. Your last caliphate, Ottoman, was defeated and destroyed by the British (Christian country).
Without your apostasy law, Islam will be halved in Middle East in a yr.
Do you people understand how wild this is????
A sitting president visited a state where people are being killed and decided to talk to the victims from the bloody airport!!!!!
Still has the audacity to say he has to go back soon as the airport doesn’t have light😩😩😩
Then he says sorry to the victims that he has nothing to give them but promises it won’t happen again
Enters the plane and flies back.
This is officially a Banana republic. How can a president be so tone deaf
Tried hard not to talk about the "famous" bereaved mother
But this woman buried her son today and they still carried her to Airport to see Jagaban
Our sensitivity to mental health in this country is a joke
Bethlehem, the birthplace of Jesus, was over 80% Christian under Israeli control.
In 1995, the Palestinian Authority took over.
After 30 years, Bethlehem is now less than 10% Christian.
This is what ethnic cleansing looks like.
