"The Modern-Day Marys: A Call to Selfless Love and Redemption"

"Inspired by the Biblical Story of Mary and Joseph, a New Perspective on Unplanned Pregnancies and Co-Parenting"

In the spirit of the biblical story of Mary and Joseph, who selflessly nurtured Jesus Christ until he fulfilled his purpose on earth, we propose a revolutionary approach to unplanned pregnancies and co-parenting.

When a woman conceives a child without her partner's knowledge, we encourage her to follow in Mary's footsteps – to courageously carry the pregnancy to term, and then allow the child's earthly father to nurture and raise them until they acquire a work-related skill for employability.

Just as Joseph accepted Mary and Jesus, we urge men to embrace their role as caregivers and providers, even if the child is not biologically theirs.

Then, at the age of 30, when the child has matured and become independent, we suggest that the mother honorably returns the child to their biological father, just as Jesus returned to his Father in heaven after completing his mission on earth.

This selfless act of love and redemption can bring healing, restoration, and a new beginning for all parties involved.

Let us embrace this modern-day interpretation of the timeless story of Mary, Joseph, and Jesus Christ, and create a world where love, forgiveness, and co-parenting thrive.

Certainly! Here are the verses from the Bible:

1. **Revelation 1:8 (ESV):**
> "I am the Alpha and the Omega," says the Lord God, "who is and who was and who is to come, the Almighty."

2. **Revelation 21:6 (ESV):**
> And he said to me, "It is done! I am the Alpha and the Omega, the beginning and the end. To the thirsty, I will give from the spring of the water of life without payment."

3. **Revelation 22:13 (ESV):**
> I am the Alpha and the Omega, the first and the last, the beginning and the end.

These verses are attributed to Jesus Christ, emphasizing his eternal nature as the beginning and end of all things, symbolized by the Greek letters Alpha (Α) and Omega (Ω), the first and last letters of the Greek alphabet. The statement underscores Christ's role as the eternal, all-encompassing presence in the divine plan.

2 Thessalonians 3:10 emphasizes the importance of diligence and work, suggesting that those who are unwilling to work should not expect to eat. On the other hand, Matthew 6:26, part of Jesus' Sermon on the Mount, highlights God's provision for the birds of the air, implying that worrying about sustenance should not consume one's thoughts.

In essence, 2 Thessalonians 3:10 addresses the consequences of laziness, while Matthew 6:26 encourages trust in God's provision. The context and focus of these verses differ, but together they provide a balanced perspective on work, diligence, and reliance on God.

The Book of Joshua in the Bible describes the conquest and settlement of the Promised Land by the Israelites. It is important to note that the Book of Joshua is a religious and historical narrative, and its details are a matter of faith and belief rather than confirmed historical fact. Here's a summary of how Joshua describes the capture of the Promised Land:

1. Crossing the Jordan: Joshua succeeded Moses as the leader of the Israelites. Under his leadership, the Israelites crossed the Jordan River, mirroring the crossing of the Red Sea during the Exodus.

2. Capture of Jericho: One of the most well-known events described in the Book of Joshua is the Battle of Jericho. The Israelites, following divine instructions, marched around the city of Jericho for seven days, and on the seventh day, the walls of Jericho miraculously fell, allowing the Israelites to capture the city.

3. Conquest of Canaan: The book goes on to describe numerous battles and conquests as the Israelites sought to take control of the various regions and cities within Canaan.

4. Division of the Land: After the conquest, the land was divided among the twelve tribes of Israel. Each tribe received its allotted portion of the Promised Land.

5. Covenant Renewal: At the end of the book, Joshua assembled the people to renew their covenant with God, reaffirming their commitment to obey God's commandments.

The Book of Joshua serves as a foundational text in the biblical account of Israel's history and the fulfillment of God's promise to give them the land of Canaan as their inheritance. The events described in Joshua are central to the religious and cultural identity of the Jewish people.

According to the Bible, the Israelites were indeed in Egypt. The story of the Israelites' enslavement in Egypt and their eventual exodus is a central narrative in the Book of Exodus. However, it's important to note that this account is primarily a religious and historical narrative, and the events described in the Bible are a subject of faith and interpretation, rather than universally accepted historical fact. There is limited archaeological evidence to confirm the specifics of the biblical account.

25/10/2023

Yes, according to the Bible, the Israelites were promised to be taken to a new land. In the Book of Genesis, God made a covenant with Abraham, in which he promised to give his descendants a land of their own. This covenant is often referred to as the "Abrahamic Covenant." The specific land promised to the Israelites is described as the "Promised Land" or the "Land of Canaan."

The idea of this promise is central to the biblical narrative and plays a significant role in the history and faith of the Israelites. The Book of Exodus and subsequent books in the Old Testament detail the Israelites' journey from Egypt to Canaan, where they eventually settled.

It's important to note that this promise is a religious and theological concept, and its historical validity is a matter of faith and belief, rather than confirmed historical fact.

25/10/2023

The exact location of the Promised Land, also known as Canaan in the biblical narrative, corresponds to a historical region in the eastern Mediterranean. It covered parts of what is now modern-day Israel, the West Bank, Gaza Strip, Jordan, and Lebanon. The biblical boundaries of the Promised Land are described in various books of the Bible, including the Book of Genesis, and include areas such as the Jordan River valley, the coastal plains, and the hill country.

The specific boundaries of Canaan or the Promised Land can vary depending on the biblical text and interpretation, and these boundaries are a subject of debate among scholars and theologians. It's important to note that the concept of the Promised Land is primarily a religious and historical narrative, and the geographical details may not align precisely with modern political borders.

The importance of the Promised Land in the biblical narrative is that it represents the land that God promised to the Israelites, and their journey to this land is a central theme in the Bible.

Present-day Israelis are not the same as the biblical Israelites. The biblical Israelites are descendants of the twelve tribes of Israel, as described in the Hebrew Bible (Old Testament). Present-day Israelis, on the other hand, are the citizens of the modern State of Israel, which was established in 1948. While there are Jews in Israel who may have ancestral connections to the biblical Israelites, Israel is a diverse and multicultural nation with people from various backgrounds, including Jewish, Arab, and other ethnic groups. So, while there may be some historical and cultural connections, the two groups are not the same.

The double-edged sword of Africa’s rising petrol price
Saturday June 24 2023
Everyone
Some players in energy sector say increased fuel prices will suppress demand for products, shrink revenues and force them to lay off staff.

The double-edged sword of Africa’s rising petrol price

By VINCENT OWINO

IN SUMMARY

Several African countries will in July be grappling with increased fuel prices as governments impose more taxes and drop subsidies, moves which, players in the industry argue, present both risks and benefits for the continent’s development.

As Kenya doubles the value-added tax on petroleum products to 16 percent from July 1, Tanzania is introducing excise duty of Tsh80 ($0.033) per litre and increasing the fuel levy by Tsh100 ($0.042). These are expected to significantly increase fuel prices in the two countries.

In Nigeria, petroleum prices have nearly doubled as citizens went into panic-buying after the new administration announced plans to scrap the fuel subsidy that has kept prices below half the real cost since the 1970s.

Coming against the backdrop of international oil market disruptions, experts argue these changes will not only exacerbate the high cost of living that Africans are already struggling with but will also impact the economies wholesomely.

Some players in the energy sector say the increased fuel prices will suppress demand for the products, shrink revenues and force them to lay off some of their staff.

The impact won’t stop in the oil sector, they warn.

“If demand reduces, the entire private sector will have to take measures to reduce their overhead costs, including reducing their workforce,” a senior executive in a regional energy company, who asked not to be named because his firm is still lobbying the government, told The EastAfrican.

According to him, the rise in fuel prices will curtail expenditure on most commodities, reducing the government’s revenue collection from value-added tax and eventually slow the entire economy.

“It’s a zero-sum game. If revenue is not met, government will take austerity measures, and if the state doesn’t spend as it should, it will depress the entire economy,” he said.

In Kenya and Tanzania, the new taxes come after the respective governments dropped fuel subsidies due to persistent calls by multilateral financial institutions, including the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank.

While the lenders argued that the subsidies were unsustainable and put undue pressure on the countries’ budgets, they have also in the past discouraged the subsidisation of fossil fuels because they “encourage pollution, contributing to climate change and premature deaths from local air pollution,” a document on the IMF website says.

Clean energy bonanza
Some stakeholders in the energy sector contend that scrapping subsidies and imposing more taxes on petroleum products is the best way to discourage their consumption and accelerate transition into renewable energy sources to beat the 2030 net-zero emission deadline.

IMF’s principal environmental fiscal policy expert Ian Parry argues that levying more taxes on fossil fuels is the most effective way to disincentivise their continued use, in favour of clean energy sources, thereby limiting the greenhouse gas emissions resulting from the energy sector.

“Other policies are less effective than carbon taxes,” Parry wrote in a column in the lender’s monthly publication Finance and Development.

“For example, incentives for renewable power generation do not promote switching from coal to gas or from these fuels to nuclear, do not reduce electricity demand, and, not least, do not promote emission reductions beyond the power-generation sector.”

Kenneth Oyakhire, managing director of GE Gas Power for Sub-Saharan Africa, says that although the increased fuel prices on the continent will indeed lead to increased inflation, they are for the greater good of the continent in the long run.

“In the short-term, it will stifle business activity for maybe 3 to 6 months, but there is a huge possibility that over the next one year, there will be a boom of opportunities to sell clean energy more,” he told The EastAfrican.

According to Mr Oyakhire, the increased taxation on petroleum products will not just discourage the consumption of these fossil fuels but will also show that African governments have the political will to lead transition into cleaner energy sources and to take meaningful action to tame fossil fuel use.

This, he said, will attract more investors willing to finance the continent’s renewable energy projects and in the end fast-track Africa’s transition from fossil fuels amidst increasing impacts of climate change-related calamities.

“What governments need to do [to avoid backlash from citizens] is to demonstrate that there is value from the additional taxes, or withdrawn subsidies,” he said.

Collective pain
“Everyone is going to feel the pain, in terms of inflation and higher oil prices, but it is only natural that if we all understand that there is going to be a better tomorrow, we can bear with the pain for a short while.”

The IMF says, mass protests resulting from withdrawal of subsidies or increment of taxes on fossil fuels are the primary reason governments across the globe have been reluctant to take such action, albeit the need for it.

They recommend that such reforms should be accompanied with – among other things – transparent and extensive communication with the citizenry on their impact and improving the efficiency of state-owned enterprises.

In Kenya, the government has admitted that, apart from looking to collect more revenue from the additional taxes, it is also meant to discourage fossil fuel use to reduce its impact on climate.

Kimani Kuria, chair of the Finance and Planning Committee in the National Assembly, told legislators that while the state has increased VAT on petroleum products, it has incentivised cleaner energy sources such as biofuels, which are now zero-rated.

“There is a global discussion on climate change and going green. Many countries around the world are moving away from fossil fuels to the consumption of clean energy,” Mr Kuria said.

“If we continue to incentivise use of clean energy, we are going to get away from these fossil fuels and reduce the pressure on our [oil] imports, leading to the stabilisation of our shilling and make the movement of particular sectors much cheaper.”

Why God is a jealousy God.

The concept of God being described as "jealous" in religious texts is indeed a complex and sometimes controversial topic. It's important to recognize that religious texts, such as those found in the Abrahamic faiths (Judaism, Christianity, and Islam), often use anthropomorphic language to describe the divine, aiming to convey certain aspects of God's relationship with humanity in terms humans can comprehend.

When God is described as "jealous," it does not imply a petty or selfish human-like envy that arises from insecurity, as we might understand it in everyday life. Instead, it is often interpreted in the following ways:

1. **Spiritual Fidelity**: The concept of God's jealousy is often associated with the idea that God wants his followers to remain spiritually faithful and devoted. It means not worshipping other gods or placing other things or desires above a genuine relationship with the divine.

2. **Covenantal Relationship**: In the context of the Abrahamic faiths, God is described as entering into a covenant with his people, setting expectations for their behavior and allegiance. Jealousy in this context could be seen as an expression of God's desire for an exclusive and committed relationship with his people.

3. **Protection of Truth and Morality**: Jealousy may also be seen as God's protective nature towards his teachings and principles. It is the idea that God is passionate about upholding what is morally right and true, and He desires that His followers embrace those principles fully.

4. **Rejecting Idolatry**: In many religious traditions, idolatry is strongly discouraged. When God is described as jealous, it might be a way of emphasizing the rejection of idol worship and reminding believers to focus solely on the one true divine presence.

It's essential to interpret these religious texts in their broader context, considering the cultural and historical background in which they were written. The notion of God's jealousy should be understood within the framework of God's love, compassion, and commitment to guiding humanity towards a righteous and fulfilling existence.

Different religious traditions and theologians may offer varying interpretations of this aspect of God's nature, and these interpretations can evolve over time as societies and their values change. Overall, it's a subject of ongoing theological discussion and personal interpretation within various religious communities.
