OUR CHRISTIAN RELIGION HAS TAKEN AWAY NATURAL SELF DEFENSE AND THOSE BLOOD SUCKERS UNDERSTANDS THIS AND MAKES JEST OF IT.... I can't just understand how Christianity took away the natural defense mechanism God gave us....ordinary ant will sting you once you sit on it but a full grown human being is shouting ONLY GOD CAN HELP US OH! OUR RELIGIOUS BUSINESS MEN WILL KEEP SHOUTING PRAY PRAY PRAY UNTIL SOMETHING HAPPENS....SOME OF THEM SAYS WE WILL CONTINUE TO PRAY UNTIL INSECURITY ENDS....HOW MANY OF YOU WILL BE REMAINING TO BE PRAYING BY THEN I ASKED I don't think I will raise my kids through religion.... When they grow up they should decide for themselves.... YOUR GOVERNOR IS SPEAKING ENGLISH "CIRCUMSTANCES BEYOND MY CONTROL" "MY HANDS ARE TIED" AND YOU'RE THERE TOO INSTEAD OF DEFENDING YOUR SELVES AND STANDING YOUR GROUND.... But YOU chose to be turning the other cheek and remembering thou shall not kill in the bible and remembering after life....YOU forgot even God was on the side of many kings who went to war with their enemies PLEASE IF YOU HAVE NEVER RISEN UP TO DEFEND YOUR LAND AGAINST FULANI HERDSMEN TERRORIST AND THEIR SOPHISTICATED WARRANT EMIRS KEEP YOU ADVICE AWAY FROM SOUTH EAST...... 16 Likes |

They failed to look and learn from Israel, Surrounded by Muslim terrorists. Feed these bastards with bombs and bullets and see them stay clear from u. America was founded by strong Christian farmers but, that doesn't stop them from fighting Brutally back to any country that challenges them. Christians must cultivate the habit of helping themselves when in danger. According to the Bible, THE ONLY PEOPLE GOD CAN HELP ARE THOSE THAT CAN'T HELP THEMSELVES. We must rise and feed these vultures with the same cup they feed others. Through war will peace be restored 15 Likes 1 Share |

The same thing happening in Benue without them taking action can be Likened to a situation of a poor man that refuses to Work hard and smart but believes that God is the one that supplies us all our need according to his Riches in Christ Jesus. He is definitely a fool that will live and die in poverty. Christians must rise. These Muslims terrorists backed by Muslim majority knows that not fighting back is a major trait (weakness) of Christianity and that is why they keep attacking us knowing we won't fight back. Try fighting back and see how those cowards will run from u. 12 Likes 1 Share |

It didn't do a gaddam thing to your self defense bruv... You only chose to believe the rules in a book written by people who were just as confused as you to be the manual by which you decide how your life ends up ... There is no proof of the afterlife ... Heaven or hell are just constructs of the mind and I means to prescribe reward or punishment to the deeds of a person who believes. If you have to protect yourself please do it like a barbarian with no concience.. the number one right for every person is the right to live ... Anybody tries to take that then you have the right to defend it immediately. Religion is one of the strongest shackles of the mind. 2 Likes |

Northernblood3:Defend yourselves and keep praying to God for protection. These evil breeds won't stop their heinous acts and that's a fact. My in-laws relocated from zaria in 1983 with their kids back home in ogun state and left their belonging behind because of this killings and it hasn't stopped ever since. Then, it was a secret thing but now, they kill openly. Use whatever you have to defend yourself. The law backs self defense. Enough of keeping quiet. North is fast becoming African Yemen due to religious intolerance. No region or country can develop amidst religious crisis. The crisis has set the north development backward for another 50 years but their leaders don't seem to care. They're busy causing chaos and starvation for the posterity unknowingly. Self defence is the panacea. If you hit them once, they'd think twice before they come back to you because they'd know they're likely to lose their lives, should they try it. If terrorists don't fear death, they'd not be operating from the hiding, they'd not be selective in ther attacks. They too are afraid of death. A man's house was invaded on the outskirts of abuja a few months ago. They were many who came to attack him and family. He looked for a well sharpened cutlass, opened the door suddenly and hit one of them in the face and head. He fell down while others ran away. He couldn't survive it as he bled to death. Since that time, they haven't been to that community. Those in southern kaduna should embrace self defence because the government has proven to be incapable in so many ways. They'd only send condolences to the affected family and the president in his usual statement would say he is in shock and that's all. What happened to the peace committees set up since the 90s? Has it yielded any positive result? What of the troops and police deployed there each time? Have they stopped the killings? It's impossible to appease the devil who has a plan to eliminate you. No amount of peace committees would change their mindset because they had an age-long agenda. Enough said 12 Likes |

ezenwajosh:There's nothing bad about resorting to self defence. God protects , no doubt but in a situation where you are faced with the devil and the deep blue sea, defend yourself and God would back you up in that situation. I've modified my earlier comment where I cited the example of the abuja man who was invaded by these same bastardsz. He picked a sharpened cutlass and opened the door suddenly, hit one of them, he collapsed and died while others ran away. Google it if in doubt. It was the police who came to pick up his lifeless body and took it away. The man himself had to call the police after he killed one of the attackers. They've not returned there since then. Imagine if he had allowed them...all the family members would have been forgotten by now. They came in their usual wee hours of the night when everyone was deeply asleep. Sunday igboho and his boys have liberated the oyo people from killer herders incursion, sending their leaders to kwara. Since that time peace had returned to the affected area. No amount of warning or pampering would stop the cat from eating the roasted fish. You either cage the cat or you cage the fish else, the fish would disappear in your very eyes. They had an agenda and they are pursuing it passionately. Defend yourselves and the nonsense would stop. I remember the Zonkwa incident in Kaduna South back in the days . They dare not go back there again 5 Likes 1 Share |

See this situation bros, from the top of the government these guys are there I tell you the truth unless something beyond bullets happen to these terrorists and their sponsors nothing will change, I am not a bad news carrier I only love the truth, look at Niger state a video showing women denying their faith Niger is close to where the president resides, what has been done? all that is required is for them to be gone in one night just as the Lord did it in His word, Nigeria is a highly spiritual country that is why you see us going through this process a New Nigeria will be birthed, God cannot lie if you want to be alive to see the New Nigeria then be full of the wisdom of God not man. I say again possess the wisdom of God not man. 2 Kings 19:35 And it came to pass that night, that the angel of the LORD went out, and smote in the camp of the Assyrians an hundred fourscore and five thousand: and when they arose early in the morning, behold, they were all dead corpses. |
Re: Christianity Has Taken Away Our Gods Given Self Defense by mike8804: 7:34am On May 04, 2021 |
self defence is a natural and spiritual law that must be obey both in heaven and on earth. All living things including plants have defense mechanism for self protection and all spiritual beings either angels or demons have powers for self-defense. Now, even the Bible said the kingdom of God suffered violence from the enemies and that violence must be taken by force. you cast and bind in the church against spiritual enemies but you can not cast and bind your physical enemies(hypocrisy). As strong as a lion is, if it can't protect itself, a common leopard will kill it without mercy and nothing will happen 1 Like |

New testament made men very lazy. Look at thousands of them doing nothing except ranting on the pulpit. Men show their power through what they have achieved in this world but our pastors show theirs through oppression and slavery. People don't know what modern slavery means that's why they toil and work for these charlatans masquerading as gods. Their ego is the highest in Nigeria. A president is not half as proud as these men. They actually prefer chaos than growth and development or have you not noticed that the poorer we became, the richer they are. 2 Likes |

Any Christian who still thinks self defense is a sin hasn't read their Bible properly. Even protection charms against bullets and cutlass are not a sin to me you know why, it's God who created the knowledge and it's mostly a mixture of leaves used. Which is why God says "my people suffer for lack of knowledge...". My grandpa was a very educated man but he knew herbs and used them to treat people. That man used herbs to cure migraine, appendicitis and many more. Those disappeared immediately the herbs were administered. Anyone who comes to attack me or mine, will have the shock of their lives. Make una dey hear listen to pastor dey turn the other cheek. Pastor when dey carry police escrow Waka and drive bullet proof motor. Me, I return fire for fire! After all the jaguda when boys don do for warri, dem go come kill me just like that without a fight? Even God said go vex for me. 3 Likes |

ezenwajosh:You are totally wrong. And that is not true. Read below: Pacifism Pacificists believe that Christians are never called to exert force that might lead to death in order to maintain civil or military authority. In the Sermon on the Mount (Mt 5:38-48) Jesus tells us how we should respond to our enemies. He advocates a loving response to those who plan evil things against us, most poignantly expressed in praying for them. And why? In this passage Jesus gives us two reasons. God showers blessing indiscriminately on his friends and foes alike and so should we (v45). And in order to be witnesses to the genuineness of his love in us, we need to separate our duty to love others from the expectation of personal gain or relief from discomfort (v46). So this seems clear. As Christians, we cannot expect to establish God’s kingdom through physical force and we need to reject any temptation to retaliate in an attitude of revenge when threatened with physical force ourselves. Most Pacifists would rest their case there. The ‘Just War’ criteria However, others believe that limited force is required at certain times, to deal with both internal and external potential threats to peace and justice. The biblical case for this comes from Romans 13:4 where God’s instated authorities have permission to bear the sword within their society.1 When the threat is external, this force should be limited to ensure that only a ‘just war’ is fought. The following criteria were developed in the middle-ages to help individuals and authorities assess whether war was ‘just’; and thereby to limit war wherever possible: Engaging in war By a legitimate authority As a last resort (after an ultimatum and after all other avenues for resolution have been exhausted) LWith just cause (God’s rules being broken) With right motives (the restoration of God’s rules in a peaceful context) Conducting war Discriminate Proportionate (use of minimum force wherever possible) In any ‘just war’ assessment we are at the mercy of limited or inaccurate information. We simply have to make the wisest decision we can at the time with the knowledge we have and trust God’s grace. Often a war and its justness will evolve rapidly, as will the information open to us, so regular reassessment is essential. Conclusion There may be legitimate reasons for Christians to fight in a war based on a personal assessment of the justness of the situation and in this regard the ‘Just War’ criteria are an essential guide. Nowadays with wars changing rapidly in nature from day to day this assessment will have to be carefully based on all the available information, and repeated regularly. Taking part in a war should never be an excuse for hatred but rather an opportunity to love and pray for our enemies. Deciding that a war is no longer just will mean withdrawing from combat. In the middle of a war this will often be a courageous decision with huge personal consequences. Fighting on may be much easier. However, in all our actions we are ultimately answerable to our Lord and obedience to him must come first. Simply put it's allowed in cases of existential threat to ones existence and way of life. Mind you even the Romans did not stop the jews from their worship of their Religion. However there is a threat to that with what is playing out |

ezenwajosh:Brother, something happened in 1977, this country was handed over to idols, see the problem we are facing can't be stopped by physical means alone, look at the map of Africa it is a gun-shaped figure Nigeria is the trigger (turn the map horizontally) do you know that people that will shape the world positively will come from Nigeria, understand the times my brother, it is disheartening I know but until the cup of the Amorites get filled up then something will happen, there are people that pray apart from what pastors pray in church and God reveals to them, the young people (End time God's Army) God is breeding will determine what happens. God's word must stand, redemption has to take place. Many of these killings are spiritually instigated The Fulani tribe just happened to come in between. Watch what will happen coming days I tell you the truth, The Lord of Saboath shall arise!! Keep these words. Remain blessed. |

Northernblood3:Our preachers need to explain the scriptures properly and in a balance way.The kingdom of God suffereth violence and the violent taketh it by force. Is not only applicable in spiritual battle alone. Christians need to understand that there are basis for going to fight. The christian beliefs does not permit us to be instigators but allows us to defend our God given liberty with all our physical might. Alot of wrong teachings as done damage to the body of christ. Study the Lives of the israelites and there relationship with there surrounding neighbors, it's just like what it is from the old testament. |
Re: Christianity Has Taken Away Our Gods Given Self Defense by chrisblack: 8:10am On May 04, 2021 |
ezenwajosh:You definitely right. For instance, jesus said, “Or what king, going out to wage war against another king, will not sit down first and consider whether he is able with ten thousand to oppose the one who comes against him with twenty thousand?” (Lk. 14:31). Jesus also said, “When a strong man, fully armed, guards his castle, his property is safe” (Lk. 11:21). Jesus seems to recognize that war and force projection are sometimes justified. |
