(B) he was an agbero
(C) he was a thief
(D) he was carrying it as a body guard

None,and a nonsense question.

Peter never went there with a sword,he drew it out from one of the soldiers to cut off another one's ear.

Observed the same thing wghen I went to the north and I saw churches with body guards, especially winners that had security officials frisk you.....I asked myself is God now too small to protect them? Or they don't believe what they preach.....and don't give me that crap about it being a directive from above

Lol. Please can we stop all this unnecessary beating about the bush?

Why should a man who claims to be under the protection of the most superior power feel the need for a bodyguard?

Why was Peter, James and John with Jesus almost ALL the time?

(A) they were the smartest (na dem go school pass)
(B) they were the holiest (them no be like mattew that ws once a tax collector)
(C) they were the coolest disciples to b with (they had swag n were so cute)
(D) they could pray harder than the rest (emm, na dem sleep pass for the garden sha, but lets overlook that one)
(E) they were guarding him (they were ex fisher men ho were obviously Muscular)

Goodluck.

Interesting. You will ask a question and provide wrong answers as the only way to reply it. Lol.

By this analogy you've redefined a bodyguard in the worst form it can appear. What you are saying now is that he is one who protects periodically the life of his master or another person.


You also failed to reply properly by neglecting the question in quote. Another lol for you.


My question still is, what is the role of a bodyguard, and do you consider an apprentice as one? If not, why.
Re: Should Men Of God Have Bodyguards? by Daare: 8:41am On Dec 15, 2013
There is no need for bodyguards, Even My Lord Jesus told Peter to sheath his sword when he cut off a Roman Soldiers ear @ the arrest of Jesus in the Garden where he was praying. Jesus told Peter he could call up a host of Angels if need be.

Pastor Chris Okotie is just a showbiz impresario. Nothing more.

Correct. You have 5 million naira, and complete life line. The next quetion is for 10 million

Would it be wrong for a pastor or pope or minister of the gospel to use bodyguards if he deems it so?

(A) yes, it is
(B) no, it isn't
(C) umm, I'm not sure
(D) I think if criminals can use body guards, why not MOGs? *just thinking out loud o
(E) I'd walk away with my N5million

Goodluck


Bodyguard;
A person or group of persons, often armed, responsible for protecting an individual.

So yeah, a is the correct answer ..
why would a pastor need a BG? Is he into shabby business?
If its for the peace of the whole congregation,then its a diff story ...a bodyguard won't be hired... police men would do..

By the way Gombs and Joagbaje can defend anything! As long as its from a tithing MOG consider their legal services free.

Very necessary. Sometimes not because of the fear of being killed or attacked but for crowed control and also to prevent people who are desperate to get miracles from stampeding on them.

Spotless180: Why will a christian fence his or her house?
Why would a christian sleep at night without leaving his or her door opened?
Why should christian protect offering and tithe box?
Why do they put doors in church?
Why would a christian take drugs when sick?

1... to protect himself and family.. or he just wants privacy
2.. isn't it weird sleeping with doors opened? You want goats,dogs to start having free access in your home?
However if locked,would that stop armed robbers from coming in?!
3.. lol ask those who does that..
4.. as you put it, in church! Yeah ! That's right. . After its too conceal the church properties from being stolen.. and some other things.. and also point no2 applies!
5.. lol ! God created herbs for our health.. so nothing bad..

But in this case of the op... the body guards protect the man alone! For what?! Isn't that selfishnes!

Re: Should Men Of God Have Bodyguards? by abysirius(m): 9:00am On Dec 15, 2013
In the days of our Lord Jesus Christ, He had no bodyguards. But that could be because;

1. He was always in the midst of his disciples that are always ready to shield Him from any public uproar. Peter did that when he caught off a soldier's ear.

2. People could hardly identify Him in the midst of other disciples. He was equal with them.

In the context of Nigeria, our pastors need bodyguards.

1. Unlike then, we now have TVs and other media prints/electronic which makes it difficult for any pastor to hide his identity. Apart from the fact that a huge number of them show off a lot, there are still a few that wouldn't have been known if not for TVs and the rest which has been a major means of evangelism to the world.

2. Religious conflicts in Nigeria makes any Pastor a target. The case of Boko Boys is a good case study or the recent outburst of the above mentioned pastor against the Catholic society.

There are quite a number of reasons any pastor will need one or more in Nigeria.

God loves his children so much that he came down to out level just to save us. Hence, he could suffer harm. But no harm could ever come to him if he didnt permit.
It cannot be understood with the rational mind, open your heart.
