BAINIMARAMA'S EASTER MESSAGE: 'Love your neighbour as yourself'

3/4/2015

"My fellow Fijians, In a few days’ time, we will celebrate Easter.

Since Ash Wednesday, it has been a time of prayer, introspection and almsgiving for all Christians.

Good Friday is undoubtedly a reflective occasion as we remember God’s sacrifice in sending his only son Jesus, the Lamb of God, who would take away the sins of the world through his suffering.

Yet on Easter Sunday- the third day- mourning gives way to exultation as Jesus rose from the dead to give everlasting life.

The values of Easter and the Christian religion which are love, empathy, forgiveness, good will and responsibility are values that all Fijians can celebrate and share, regardless of our personal beliefs.

This weekend, as a united and one nation, let us remind ourselves of God’s love for us.

Let us remember the importance of personal accountability and love for the good of every young Fijian and their futures.

Jesus said: “Love your neighbour as yourself.” Such a marvellous commandment and one which we should all strive to live by.

I wish you all a Happy Easter.!"

Bainimarama needs to be reminded not to take the Lords name in vain,
He is not renown for his Christian charity and love and humility.
Bainimarama is well known as a ruthless dictator . He earned that outlook. Talking Christain love and kindness sounds hollow on his lips. It sounds hypocritical.

Indeed, telling Biman Prasad to shove his ideas up that part of his anatomy where the sun don't shine, is hardly Christian.

Hypocrisy has no imitl

Bainimarama does nothing but blaspheme the Lord's name not only amongst the unbelievers but believers as well. There is a place reserved from him unless....But is he redeemable?????

A man who stands up to speak of Jesus and his message for humanity must be a man seen to be walking in Jesus footsteps.
Bainimarama is NOT such a man.

If our talatala's have passed this message to all those starting with rabuka in 87, we wouldn't have come to this stage where coups have become a solution for all delusions. We are reaping the seeds that were planted in 87 till now. I hope that my indo-Fijian brothers and sisters can forgive my ancestors and the whole lot of us that we're around in 87 and did nothing. Jesus gave his life to free human kind of its sins. He would have felt embarrassed that his disciples have stooped to such a low level. Happy Easter all.

All I can say is this...na kemuisau sa vuni tu wawa mai Lomalagi o Jisu [Jesus Christ] will deal with you like Nero who persecuted the Christians in his time of Rule as an Emperor.How can he use such language to a Member of the Opposition,Leader of FNP,a well known Academic so shameful dragging us all to the gutter full of filth.The Speaker should suspend Bainimarama ans such a misdemeanour is uncalled for in our Parliament.FFP supporters do take note of the person you elected to be a Leader of people of our Country as PM.Be warned Bainimarama read the Holy Book[Bible] the verses that say...Reverge is Mine sayth The Lord,God,your Creator.To all Faiths if you are quiet and never say anything of his latest very unparliamentary language than you are all guility of the worst offence.

If Bainimarama was my neighbour I wouldn't be able to love him as I love myself . I would be fearful of him because I know him to be a dangerous, deceitful and devious man not averse to the use of violence and threats to achieve his ends.
