Persecuted By Christians by Myer(m): 8:43am On Nov 20, 2021 |
Persecution is one of the issues you face when you oppose any established religion(s). Before I proceed I would like us to have the same understanding of basic definitions. Persecution: To pursue in a manner to injure, grieve, or afflict; to beset with cruelty or malignity; to harass; especially, to afflict, harass, punish, or put to death for one's race, sexual identity, adherence to a particular religious creed, or mode of worship. He who persecutes one will persecute all. In the bible, Jesus preached the Beatititudes, one of which preaches about persecution. Matthew 5: 10-12 "Blessed are those who are persecuted because of righteousness, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Blessed are you when people insult you, persecute you and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of me. Rejoice and be glad, because great is your reward in heaven, for in the same way they persecuted the prophets who were before you." What this means is that to be a true Christian you will face persecution for Christ's sake. This was because Christianity was a minority in the days of Christ. He faced persecution from the established religion- Judaism. And even got killed for it. His disciples (who later became apostles) also faced persecution and were killed for believing in Jesus Christ and propagating his message. And for this those who persecuted them were condemned as being evil. Today, Christianity has become the established religion. Unfortunately Christians have also followed the way of the persecutors. Today Christians are the ones persecuting non-Christians. So many scenarios where Christian's are the ones persecuting non-Christians now. Historically, a christian arm, The Crusaders is notorious for the murder of famous scientists simply for proving errors in the bible. But more importantly today, especially in Christian-dominated regions, non-Christians are victimized by Christians simply because they are not Christians. Once you're not a Christian in a Christian dominated office, you are ostracized and persecuted. In marriage, many Christian denominations do not even allow inter-marriage with other denominations and other religions. Once you're marrying a non-Christian and you are from a Christian family, you're ostracized and persecuted. Even on NL, Christians attack non-Christians just for expressing their views without trying to provoke any religion. Christians persecute anyone who is not a Christian by condemning them to hell fire or even garnering force agains them to become evicted, sacked, etc. Christians even go as far as condemning other Christian's from different denomination s to hell fire just because they do not share the same Christian doctrines and views. Christians are today the ones persecuting others simply for not sharing their belief. He who has an ear let him hear. 2 Likes |

Your definition of persecution does not completely follow the dictionary definition of what persecution really is. But I am not here to point that out. Rather, I want you to examine your life and see if you were kill,, stabbed, beaten , or thrown in prison for ever having debates with Christians 1 Like |

Hashabiah: What you termed my definition is actually a dictionary definition. What is your own dictionary definition of persecution? |
Re: Persecuted By Christians by Dtruthspeaker: 9:30am On Nov 20, 2021 |
Myer: You people are really crazy O. You attack us and you expect that we would not defend ourselves? Then you call our defence persecution? You guys are out ya minds. |
Re: Persecuted By Christians by Dtruthspeaker: 9:40am On Nov 20, 2021 |
Myer: Correction! The Word for "Rightness aka righteousness Sake". See, your foundation is already bad. Myer: Wrong! This is because people Hate that which is Right, since they are children of Unrighteousness. Which is why Step 1 in the Conversion/Transformation is "Seek God AND HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS". Not your righteousness which is Unrighteous when measured. But God's Rightness is ABOVE PERFECTLY PERFECT IN RIGHTNESS WHEN JUSTLY MEASURED AND JUDGED. That is what Christ Followers know and Defend, which is what you people attack and yet you expect us to keep silent and be peaceful. You guys must be crazy! |
Re: Persecuted By Christians by Hashabiah: 9:43am On Nov 20, 2021 |
Myer:Oga, you were not killed, neither were you silenced or harrassed for speaking your mind. This not fit the description you earlier defined as "persecution " |
Re: Persecuted By Christians by Dtruthspeaker: 9:47am On Nov 20, 2021 |
Myer: As I always say, Church goers are not Christians. Christians do not do any of these things you allege. So this is False Accusation. Channel your grievance to the proper persons |

Aremu01: I have been a staunch Christian and I also persecuted non-Christians. Now I'm irreligious and at the receiving end. Persecution is not limited to only murder. Let's understand that. Even though I cited cases where the Crusaders murdered non-Christians, even scientists for contravening biblical teachings When you're harassed because you're not a Christian, that is persecution. When you're condemned for not being a Christian, that is persecution. When you're ostracislzed by family for not being a Christian, that is persecution. When you're called names just because you're not a Christian, that's persecution. When it is others doing it to Christian's, you easily call it persecution. But when Christian's do it to others, it suddenly isnt persecution? You instead choose to call it different names. That's double standard right there. 1 Like 1 Share |

Myer: You were a church goer, not a Christ Follower. Also IT IS IMPOSSIBLE FOR A CHRISTIAN TO EVER LEAVE CHRIST, EXACTLY AS AN AJEGUNLE BORN FACE ME I SLAP YOU BOY WILL NEVER LEAVE A 3 BEDROOM FLAT IN GARKI ONLY TO RETURN TO HIS FORMER AJEGUNLE OR UGBOWOR! |
Re: Persecuted By Christians by Myer(m): 12:12pm On Nov 20, 2021 |
Dtruthspeaker: You are the church-goer and religious one since you only recycle whatever your pastor tells you and dont study your bible. Even the bible agrees that many will fall away from the faith and some who have once been Christians can stop being Christians. Hebrew 6:4-6 For it is impossible, in the case of those who have once been enlightened, who have tasted the heavenly gift, and have shared in the Holy Spirit, and thave tasted the goodness of the word of God and the powers of the age to come, and then have fallen away, to restore them again to repentance, since they are crucifying once again the Son of God to their own harm and holding him up to contempt. 1 Like |

You don't even know what persecution is, that's enough to show that you were never a Christian for real! |

AsapTeddy: Before you dismiss a thread as useless, hope you don't mind sharing your experience as a Christian in Nigeria being persecuted. You clearly dont have such since presently Christian's are the dominant religion except in some parts of the North. |

Myer:Your shallow-minded interpretations have nothing to do with the facts on ground: you have not been persecuted , neither were you hunted or beaten because of your twisted ideas of religion and belief . So to me , you are just throwing tantrums to get attention from the same people who share in your gullibility |
Re: Persecuted By Christians by Myer(m): 1:59pm On Nov 20, 2021 |
Hashabiah: I understand your low IQ. You first heard of persecution in the bible so you believe only Christian's are persecuted. Dont be ignorant. People (Christian's and non-Christians) around you are getting persecuted everyday. Christians are persecuted where Christianity is a minority. Non-Christians are persecuted where Christinity is the majority. |

You're making it difficult to identify mad people cos you're no different from those roaming the streets naked just that you still know how to operate a phone. |

Re: Persecuted By Christians by Myer(m): 3:39pm On Nov 20, 2021 |
Dtruthspeaker: I intentionally ignore your mentions cos I've realised your intention is at variance with mine. Your intention is to argue pointlessly. My intention is to engage in intelligent arguments that produce results and enlightenment. At such we will be at disservice to each other. So pls like Johny Walker, just keep on walking out of my mentions. |

Hashabiah: At this point I have to apologise to myself for even engaging you in the first place cos I thought you had sense. From your very first post, you exposed your low IQ. And since then you've contributed absolutely nothing intelligent to this thread. If I could block you on NL, you know we clearly wont even be having any other exchange after your second unintelligent post. |
