The Bold Claims of Jesus: The Resurrection and the Life by Vincent Dania

The statement made by Jesus in John 11:25-26 is undoubtedly the boldest and most extraordinary statement ever recorded in history. In these verses, Jesus declares Himself to be the resurrection and the life, and asserts that those who believe in Him, even if they die, will live. This is a revolutionary claim, one that goes beyond the bounds of the human mind.

But Jesus does not stop there. He goes on to say that anyone who lives and believes in Him will never die, ever. This is an even more radical statement, one that seems to defy the laws of nature and our understanding of the human experience. Death is an inevitable part of life, something that every person will face at some point. Yet Jesus seems to be saying that, for those who believe in Him, death can be overcome.

This raises a number of questions and challenges for believers. How is it possible for someone to never die? What does it mean to believe in Jesus and how does this affect our ultimate fate? These are deep and profound questions, and they require careful consideration and contemplation.

In John 5:25, Jesus makes another bold statement, this time asserting that the time has come for the dead to hear His voice and be brought back to life. This is a shocking claim, one that seems to contradict everything we know about the nature of death and the afterlife. How can the dead hear?  What does this mean for those who have already died and are now in the afterlife?

These statements made by Jesus raise many questions and challenges for believers. They require us to consider the nature of life and death in a whole new light, and to think about our own beliefs and understanding of these fundamental issues. They also call us to consider the role that Jesus plays in our lives and the impact that He has on our ultimate destiny.

As a believer for over 20 years, and someone who has experienced the death of a loved one, I can say that these statements have continued to challenge and inspire me. They have helped me to think more deeply about the meaning of life and death, and have given me hope and assurance in the face of difficult times. Despite the many years that have passed, my mind still struggles to fully comprehend the implications of these statements, and I believe that they will continue to inspire and challenge believers for generations to come.

The Dark Web Apart from Tor

The Dark Web Apart from Tor The dark web, a subset of the broader Deep Web, is comprised of online content that is not indexed by conventional search engines and requires specialized software or permissions to access. While Tor (The Onion Router) is perhaps the most recognized darknet, there are numerous other anonymity networks, each with its own distinct features and user base (Figueras-Martín, Magán-Carrión, & Boubeta-Puig, 2022). Tor, with its onion routing system, is renowned for its ability to enable users to access websites in the dark web anonymously. However, its popularity has also attracted attention from search engines, which often block access to Tor's onion services. To circumvent these restrictions, services like Tor2web have emerged, allowing users to access Tor onion services without using the Tor Browser (Tor2web, n.d). Aside from Tor, other darknets include I2P, Freenet, ZeroNet, GNUnet, Retroshare, Urbit, and Tribler. Unlike Tor, many of these networks opera...

Scientific Management

  Scientific Management Scientific management is a management theory that analyzes workflows to improve economic efficiency, especially labor productivity. It implies the use of scientific methods in making decisions and acting on organizational problems and situations. This management theory, developed by Frederick Winslow Taylor, was popular in the 1880s and 1890s in U.S. manufacturing industries. While the terms “scientific management” and “Taylorism” are often treated as synonymous, a more accurate view is that Taylorism is the first form of scientific management. Taylorism is sometimes called the “classical perspective,” meaning that it is still observed for its influence but no longer practiced exclusively. Scientific management was best known from 1910 to 1920, but in the 1920s, competing management theories and methods emerged, rendering scientific management largely obsolete by the 1930s. However, many of the themes of scientific management are still seen in industrial eng...

Laws Against Rape in Nigeria

The good book says, “where there is no law, there is no offence” .  In criminal law, there is a principle called Nullum crimen sine lege (Latin for "no crime without law."). It says that a person cannot or should not face criminal punishment except for an act that is criminalized by law before he/she committed it (okay, I promise this is the only legal jargon you’ll see in this article).  Amidst growing and disturbing reports of rape and other sexual and gender-based violence, especially against women and children in Nigeria, there is also growing interest in provisions of the law that provide protection to women and victims of gender-based violence. In contribution to the global awareness campaign for the protection of women from gender-based violence, it is an asset to be knowledgeable on the existing legal framework for protecting the rights of victims and survivors in search of justice. This article also serves as a warning to potential offenders, of the punishment tha...
