But Why Would God Allow Someone To Be Killed While Preaching His Words ? by tayooluwole: 9:42am On Jul 10, 2016 |
I have heard many cases of God's word preachers who have been killed, slaughtered and brutally mutilated while preaching or on other duties in respect to biblical God's commandment. Many were burnt alive while withing the church premises praying and praising God, many captured and were easily slaughtered, many were captured within their own house, raped and eventually killed and many more cases like that. Seriously, all these occurrences left me with one critical question that has been dominating my mind for years, that why would God keep silent while such horrific murder is being unleashed on his consistent servant ? Why can't God, weather spiritually or physically, prevent such tragedy, to at least encourage other worshipers and consolidate the believe that God is truly mighty as it is being claimed. Preventing such tragedy, to me, has the efficacy of preventing many people from waking up one day and start thinking at all weather God exist or not. Should we say our so called popular pastors, knows that there is no divine assistance they can enjoy while facing assassinating temptation and that is why most of them move all around with sophisticated security outfit... I beg, rational whosiper should come to my rescue in answering this question ooo... 21 Likes 4 Shares |

God cannot be held responsible for the actions of man. He cannot force man to act a certain way because it is the right way. . Free will. 56 Likes 2 Shares |

And if God decides to force us to do good all the time, we'll still be the same humans to complain. Our line of defence would be "How can we be created and be forced to behave a certain ways? How can we be created to be the almighy's pawns? What's the point of being alive and being made to behave in a certain way without having a mind of our own? Why can't we make our own choices? Are we zombies?" Humans are just so insatiable. tayooluwole: 6 Likes |

tayooluwole: The world wasn't created to be free of evil. God never promised us as christians that we will not die neither did he say that the christians will not die in a horrible manner. Both the christians and the unbelievers enjoy the sun and the rain together. If God wanted to draw a separation he would ve created a different world for christians so there's nothing strange about a christian experiencing horrible death. Jesus experienced it, some of his disciples experienced it too. 10 Likes |

tayooluwole:Yes, but Jesus told us clearly that we shall be persecuted for his sake, for preaching the word of God..Persecution also includes death.. This is already a warning to those that are ready to take this task. Don't forget that Jesus also advised us that when preaching we can flee when trouble or persecution comes in Matt 10: 21-23..He never assured you that God will come down and kill anyone that persecutes you. 21. Brother will deliver brother over to death, and the father his child, and children will rise against parents and have them put to death, 22 and you will be hated by all for my name's sake. But the one who endures to the end will be saved. 23 When they persecute you in one town, flee to the next, for truly, I say to you, you will not have gone through all the towns of Israel before the Son of Man comes 13 Likes 1 Share |

Did God Almighty not allow his only begotten son Jesus Christ die for our sins?? Couldn't He have stopped it? Death to a true believer is a call to everlasting life. All the disciples of Christ died while in service to God. In fact we as Christians should count ourselves lucky to suffer tribulation for his sake. It is written that these things must be fulfilled. Like my brother always says, we are not practicing Christianity in the South. Some of us have not seen tribulations yet out faith wavers. As he would say the real Christians are in the middle east and north. Their lives are endangered everyday just by being Christians yet they are unwavering. 24 Likes 3 Shares |

Per the bolded, there has been hundreds of evidences but people have chosen to deliberately ignore. I tell you, there is a heaven and a hell. Not because I read it a bible but because I have things with my own eyes. The best proof is to seek Christ yourself. Christianity is the only religion that guarantees you proof of the afterlife while you're still alive. There's no book that is big enough to contain the things I've seen. People have NDEs (Near Death Experiences) everyday. Hundreds of thousands of people have seen Jesus physically: not just Christians but people from all walks of life ( Muslims, Christians, hinduists, Buddhists, old, young, etc) but the west has labelled them "schizophrenics". Make research for yourself and you'll see the irrefutably evidence of the existence of God. But always have it at the back of your mind that the best evidence of Christ is to have a personal encounter with him. tayooluwole: 8 Likes |
