God did not assure his children in the Bible that they wouldn't be attacked or killed. Jesus even said some of his disciples are going to be killed. So it is not strange. But also God can and does protect his children. We will all die someday. The man who kills a believer of Jesus Christ won't add the life of his victim to his own. So the irony of a most powerful God who sometimes watches as his children are being killed is beyond us sometimes. But he didn't promise us an all-sweet Christian journey. What he promises his children whether they are killed or die naturally is eternal life. 1 Like |

UndisputedBosom: That's not a good response Because there is paradise for your soul would you like your body to be killed The issue is that an innocent person had been killed unjustly It should be condemned to highest degree even if the person is a Hindu or Jew. There is no cause that should support the killing of the innocent The Islamic terrorist Isis has been killing yazidis, Jews etc and the world is condemning it. 1 Like |

Teempakguy:Bros, she was not talking about "human beings". She was talking about God not being held responsible for man's actions because someone was asking why God would allow someone to be killed while preaching His word. I want to cut everything short. God gave man the freedom to do whatever he wishes - even though he'd answer for whatever he does at the end - and in philosophy, it's called 'Freewill'. You could read it up. Your own argument is quite different. You're talking about humans perpetrating evil against fellow humans. We are talking about God allowing humans perpetrate evil. I just wish you'd understand this very quickly. 4 Likes |

You don't know the person I quoted but I do. Moreover, I didn't crucify their religion. Mohammed was a pedophile and a rapist. Its a known fact. All Islamic scholars know this. Its not new.

JoeCutie:I'm surprised. The entire reason she posted that was to give God a special support by claiming that since he had given man the freedom to do whatever he wishes, God was not responsible for whatever man did. Hence, answering the question as, "God is not responsible for anything." Her reason was free will. and I pointed out to you, that was supporting her stance, that "Free will" Does not exist in the context of the OP's question. humans harming other humans violates the principle of free will for the victim. and hence, God has to rely on some other rule for he actions in times like this. fortunately, there is a rule he has laid down, that in times like this, he(God) would provide protection. But he doesn't do that. he instead blindly follows the other rule, even in situations where it is not applicable. and that is actually what is being argued here. It's really not that difficult to understand. |

cc: tayooluwole As others have let you know before me, God told christians beforehand that they will endure persecution. He made statements about christians picking up their cross and following him. He pronounced blessing for those who would withstand persecution for him. And then he set an example by allowing himself to be arrested. He even stopped his Peter from fighting and healed the ear of the guard that was cut off. Then he went and endured physical torture, public humiliation and death. Every christian is called to evangelism, one way or another. We may not all be called to carry The Bible and venture into dangerous areas. But we should proclaim The Gospel at all points in our life with our actions. And stand by it in all occasions. For example, a young christian man being forced into a cult should refuse even on pain of death to join. It doesn't have to be when you're preaching in an islamic environment. God promised us protection until it is our time to leave this world. In The Bible, Jesus' enemies tried many times unsuccessfully to capture him until Gethsemane. So we will also be protected by God until it is our time to leave this world. cc: Teempakguy The Bible is not a novel or an article to be read superficially. And I notice you're nitpicking verses to suit you. Even if you were to read the whole message, without the guidance of the Holy Spirit, you'll still misinterprete it. Lastly, some atheists should mind their words on this forum and elsewhere. Some of you are inadvertently placing curses on yourself. Science which I suppose you believe allows room for error. So create room for error in your belief that there is no supreme being and desist from directly insulting God lest He visits punishment on you in this life. 2 Likes |

tayooluwole: Believing is not all about seeing...look at this way, you sleep today and wake up healthy tomorrow. Did you see the tomorrow you hoped to wake up to? But you went to bed with the hope of seeing tomorrow. Believing something exist is not all about seeing it, its the hope and faith that makes it real. |

If Nigerians were Christ, they would have jumped when Satan tempted Jesus to prove that God will protect him. Did Christ not caution Christians to be cautious as serpent. What is any sane person doing all alone preaching at the early hours of the morning in a blood sucking environment like ours. Jesus had his reasons for sending his disciples in twos and asked them to sleep whenever night falls on them in the process. Caution is the watch word when it comes to handling God's word as we live in a world ruled by Satan, Let's not put our God to test. RIP |

Dr. Ben Carson (Retired world renowned neurosurgeon, and Republican Presidential Aspirant) wrote this beautiful piece. Read and be blessed. Sometimes you are unsatisfied with your life, while many people in this world are dreaming of living your life. A child on a farm sees a plane fly overhead and dreams of flying. But, a pilot on the plane sees the farmhouse and dreams of returning home. That's life!! Enjoy yours. If wealth is the secret to happiness, then the rich should be dancing on the streets. But only poor kids do that. If power ensures security, then officials should walk unguarded. But those who live simply, sleep soundly. If beauty and fame bring ideal relationships, then celebrities should have the best marriages. But those who live simply, walk humbly and love genuinely! All good will come back to you!!! Man asks, “Where was God when Myles Munroe, wife and his associates were killed in a crash? He answers, "The same place I sat when John the Baptist my servant was beheaded. When Stephen my servant was stoned to death. When Paul my servant was murdered in Rome. The same place I sat when my only Son was brutally crucified, wounded, bruised and killed. I have not moved from my position." I am the same. It is not the means of exit from earth that matters but the destination. Live simply. It's all about God!! I love this one: If someone asks about your educational background, proclaim boldly that: Church is my college. Heaven is my university. Father God is my counselor. Jesus is my principal. Holy Spirit is my teacher. Angels are my classmates. Bible is my textbook. Temptations are my exams. Overcoming Satan is my hobby. Winning souls for God is my assignment. Receiving eternity is my degree. Praise and Worship are my slogan. Hallelujah...... 1 Like 1 Share |

talking of heaven and everlasting life, how are we sure that the so called heaven will not eventually turn violent and corrupt. i am saying this because we all were told that God created garden of Eden with everlasting life and good things of life in mind for Mr&Mrs Adam. but eventually either by omission or commission the devil destabilized that plan of God. how now are we sure that the same thing will not repeat itself with heaven (if there be one). just thinking |

Isaiah 57:1-2- Good people die, and no one understands or even cares. But when they die, no calamity can hurt them. Those who live good lives find peace and rest in death. God exists and only Him determines how a righteous person goes home. The apostles and most of the early Christians were killed for their faith in Christ. A true Christian shouldn't be afraid of what happens to his body but his soul. The Bible said fear not him that can destroy the body but should fear Him that can destroy both the body and spirit. 1 Like |

Kaycee7: For your mind now, You have done something very brilliant. shey? the bible is not a novel or an article to be read superficially . . . Alright then, examine all the verses I brought out and tell me what they actually mean. Oh Brillant man of God. And I notice you're nitpicking verses to suit you. Why should there be ANY verses that would suit me? that's the question you should be asking yourself. why should a bible contain enough ambiguity to the extent that it can be used against itself? Even if you were to read the whole message, without the guidance of the Holy Spirit, you'll still misinterprete it. Sure, That's why with the holy spirit, Christians have managed to find 5000+ different interpretations of the bible. ergo 5000+ different denominations that are cock-sure all the other denominations are going to hell fire. For your mind now, you are making sense? Lastly, some atheists should mind their words on this forum and elsewhere. Some of you are inadvertently placing curses on yourself. Science which I suppose you believe allows room for error. So create room for error in your belief that there is no supreme being and desist from directly insulting God lest He visits punishment on you in this life. A God that cannot even protect his children from harm wants to be attacking his critics. sounds like a childish person. Go and tell your God to fulfill his currently shallow promises first, before going on a senselsess rampage over his critics. 1 Like |

Our saviour was also killed. He said anyone who wants to follow Him should carry his cross. He also said "we shouldn't fear those who can only kill our flesh but can't touch our soul.

bigmeechfilms: South Africa isn't doing better than any other African nation. However, the only reason it appears that way is because the British invested their loots right there in South Africa, since they were not planning leaving the country. If wealth stolen from other African nations were invested in our respective nations, some countries like Congo, Benin Republic, Ghana, Nigeria would've been the wealthiest nations on earth, not just in Africa. Religion has little or nothing to do with our underdevelopment. Some of the most religious countries are also the wealthiest, though mostly their native religion, but its still religion. USA = christianity South Korea = christianity Israel = Judaism China = Taoism and Confucianism Japan = Shinto and Buddhism Germany = christianity (Angela Merkel is a christian). In fact her party is called Christian Democratic Union of Germany. The system of education handed down to us by colonial masters (which is not education in the real sense) is the root cause of poverty in Africa. |

tayooluwole: Never think that those who were killed on the path of God are dead, but they are well alive in the presence of their God. God at times also use such experience to test either His servant will stop worshiping Him because of the experience of others or not. God is a just God and will reward everyone accordingly. Those who do evil, let them continue and those who perpetuates evil should keep it up. We shall all meet our God and account for our deeds. |

tayooluwole:Christ is the person every true believer is looking up to. Because HE is the one that begins and ends our faith. (Hebrews 12:2). God does not have grand children. Anyone that receives Christ becomes a direct child of God (John 1:2) therefore each of us shall stand before GOD individually to give account of how we ran the race here on earth (Romans 14:12). In conclusion no pastor is a yardstick to measure a Christian‘s life. Jesus CHRIST is. God is not a patial rewarder. Death is not a bad thing to a Christian who knows that oneday we all shall rise again to be with our LORD Christ forever. |

Job 12:7-25 ESV / 69 “But ask the beasts, and they will teach you; the birds of the heavens, and they will tell you; or the bushes of the earth, and they will teach you; and the fish of the sea will declare to you. Who among all these does not know that the hand of the Lord has done this? In his hand is the life of every living thing and the breath of all mankind. Does not the ear test words as the palate tastes food? 1 Corinthians 2:14 The natural person does not accept the things of the Spirit of God, for they are folly to him, and he is not able to understand them because they are spiritually discerned. Numbers 14:11 And the Lord said to Moses, “How long will this people despise me? And how long will they not believe in me, in spite of all the signs that I have done among them? |
