Is God A Partial God? 

In Romans 9 vs 16, the Bible says: "So then it is not of him that willeth, nor of him that runneth, but of God that sheweth mercy".

This part of the scripture has been a genesis of so many arguments as many believed God is selective of whom to show mercy to. 

Many believed that God shows this in the case of Jacob and Esau. Some also believed that Peter was showed mercy but Judas was doomed to die.

Little wonders why someone will commit a particular sin, will go scot free but someone else that commit that same sin might die.

Many have argued that everyone will not receive the mercy of God, they believed that some people are doomed to perish no matter how many years they spent on the earth, this set of people believed God spares only those he wishes to and destroys others.

Wait a minute, Is God really partial?

My Opinion: God is not partial, there is something call GRACE. It is available for all those who seek it. Every human is doomed to perish, it is only the GRACE of God that saves us.

One of the people who was looking for a freelancer, an Indian, said he liked my bid and samples but he can't hire a Nigerian. That Nigerians aren't trustworthy. Another client also said the same thing. This one was from the US. I did eventually get hired by an Ivorian web developer who lived in India. Another very jarring experience was being called a scammer and whore by a Pakistani user who wanted me to work outside the platform and I refused. I guess he was deeply disturbed. And I promptly reported him. As a Nigerian, you don't get the benefit of doubt from any...

The older generation who saw some of Nigeria's best Goalkeepers in action would tell you there’s no goalkeeper today that can match the ability of these goalkeepers. But today fans may feel Vincent Enyeama who helped Nigeria’s Super Eagles win the Nations Cup is the best goalkeeper the country has ever produced. Since there was no video coverage for those whose career span in the early 50s’ – 70s.’ We had to rely on the verdicts of some ex-footballers such as Joe Erico, Segun Odegbami, Christian Chukwu, Peter Fregene… etc. to make our selections.
