Argumentum ad Baculum, appeal to the stick, threats

we are not testing your god, we are saying your god idea makes no sense cuz he promised his followers divine protection but you guys die everyday in all manners of death just like those that aren't following him

let's look at those verses together, shall we?

1. Psalm 1:6 For the LORD watches over the way of the righteous, but the way of the wicked leads to destruction.

2. Psalm 121:5-8 The LORD watches over you— the LORD is your shade at your right hand; the sun will not harm you by day, nor the moon by night. The LORD will keep you from all harm– he will watch over your life ; the LORD will watch over your coming and going both now and forevermore.

3. Psalm 91:10-11 no harm will overtake you, no disaster will come near your tent. For he will command his angels concerning you to guard you in all your ways.

4. Isaiah 54:17“No weapon that is formed against you will prosper ; And every tongue that accuses you in judgment you will condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the LORD, And their vindication is from Me,” declares the LORD.

5. Proverbs 1:33 but whoever listens to me will live in safety and be at ease, without fear of harm.”

6. Psalm 34:7 For the angel of the LORD is a guard; he surrounds and defends all who fear him.

7. Psalm 112:6-7 Surely the righteous will never be shaken; they will be remembered forever. They will have no fear of bad news; their hearts are steadfast, trusting in the LORD.

8. Nahum 1:7 The LORD is good, a refuge in times of trouble. He cares for those who trust in him.

9. Psalm 56:4 In God I will praise his word, in God I have put my trust; I will not fear what flesh can do unto me.

10. Proverbs 29:25 Fear of man will prove to be a snare, but whoever trusts in the Lord is kept safe

11. Deuteronomy 31:8 Do not be afraid or discouraged, for the LORD will personally go ahead of you. He will be with you; he will neither fail you nor abandon you.”

12. Genesis 28:15 I am with you and will watch over you wherever you go , and I will bring you back to this land. I will not leave you until I have done what I have promised you.”

13. Proverbs 3:24-26 When you lie down, you will not be afraid; when you lie down, your sleep will be sweet. Have no fear of sudden disaster or of the ruin that overtakes the wicked, for the Lord will be at your side and will keep your foot from being snared.

14. Psalm 27:1 Of David . The LORD is my light and my salvation– whom shall I fear ? The LORD is the stronghold of my life– of whom shall I be afraid?

15. Psalm 91:1-4 Whoever dwells in the shelter of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty. I will say of the Lord, “He is my refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom I trust .” Surely he will save you from the fowler’s snare and from the deadly pestilence. He will cover you with his feathers, and under his wings you will find refuge; his faithfulness will be your shield and rampart.

16. Psalm 5:11 But let all who take refuge in you be glad; let them ever sing for joy. Spread your protection over them, that those who love your name may rejoice in you.

17. Proverbs 18:10 The name of the LORD is a strong fortress ; the godly run to him and are safe.

18. Psalm 144:2 He is my loving God and my fortress, my stronghold and my deliverer, my shield, in whom I take refuge , who subdues peoples under me.

19. Exodus 14:14 The LORD will fight for you, and you have only to be silent .

there are still many more similar verses in the Christian Bible

Typical christians consoling words: "Ooh don't worry dear, god works in mysterious ways you know. His ways are not our ways. He knows his reasons for everything."
Does god ever protect his followers? Is he even capable??
It's high time you guys wake up from slumber and face reality, not defending the stories made by some ancient men from a certain culture with every strength in your body.

Yahweh is either incompetent, liar or nonexistent and Christianity is a lie

let's see how pastors are proving divine protection to be false

pastors are using bodyguards EVEN IN THE CHURCH but would stand on the pulpit and read verses on divine protection to its members, they would even sell expensive jackets, Car bumper stickers, stickers for their member's main entrance with words like "I'm protected by the blood of Jesus" "No weapon fashioned against me shall prosper" in order to raise money for more or better bodyguards

Am so sorry for your loss. I pray God gives you the inner strength to bear this.

I can imagine how you must be feeling now, it's making me tear.

701ecilana:

Pls read the comment i quoted, you'd understand why i said that.

Any Christian who hasn't prepared for this day, is yet to understand who Christ is and why he came here.

Am not a afraid of death, and, it doesn't matter how i go, am ready to go home anytime.

goodmandgreat:


Don't tryna test God, u dare not question His doings
Be careful man, u may not see His wrath coming

To the dead, I say Rest in Perfect Peace bro

hopefulLandlord:


if this happened to an atheist Christians would be quick to say it wouldn't have happened if the person were a Christian, but since this one is a Christian excuses would flow like Kainji dam water

701ecilana:

No. That's not true. Death in the flesh comes to us all. It's spiritual death which separates and distinguishes us.
Any Christian who says that, is either a baby Christian or not a Christian at all.

Every flesh must die, but wen flesh dies, there's another death to die, that's where the main issue lies.

Peeps saying why didnt God save him?

If he truly serves God, he won't die a horrible death and thats fact.
God is not wicked to allow his children go through such horror.

Not all gospel artists truly worship God
And Not all Pastors are truly called by God
Until we understand this simple fact before anyone can even blame God.

God cannot be blamed for this. We only see the surface, we dont know whats inside the heart of a man. So dont judge God.

Topgainer:

True that we have hounds who will sacrifice their finest just for more powers and more hypnotic abilities but the manner of death does not determine the final destination of a person. Christian history has a lot of Martyrs who were friends of God. I see something good in the lad, his manner of death notwithstanding. So, praise God all the same.

You just judged my dear.... that's what Jobs friends did abi??


This is really sad and I'm just speechless, .................... Lord help me even in my questioning, I know you are real, just can't help wondering y things turn out this way

this is a very convenient excuse, no true Scotsman fallacy

Its not an excuse? Its the pure truth.

I serve God in truth and spirit. On different occasions I would have had a ghastly accident or died through ailments but God always pull through for me and always saves me in a split second and I will be like.. Oh God! I can't believe this, thank you!

Am not Jacky Chan neither am I James bond but somehow, in a way I get saved from accidents.

All glory to God.

hopefulLandlord:


what are you really saying? who told you non Christians want to live forever?

emmayayodeji:
RIP

I dont mean to be mean.

But the God he is singing for cant save him from untimely death.. is that one a god


When i was quite younger i and my family were coming back from Redemption Camp, on the road . A bus of RCCG ushers had an accident..
And they layed their corpses near the road.. Still in their ushers Uniform

I started losing my faith that day...

And christans will start justifying by saying sentences like "god knows best" "god has a plan" issokay.....


RIP once again

hopefulLandlord:


Your optimism bias is huge, I'm fairly certain that guy that died was thinking the same until it happened to him

and for anyone who doesn't know what "Optimism Bias" means, Optimism bias (also known as unrealistic or
comparative optimism ) is a cognitive bias that causes a person to believe that they are at a lesser risk of experiencing a negative event compared to others.

701ecilana:

They are men first, before God comes in. So wen touts attack them, their ministries will be cut short. They'll proceed to heaven, but their ministries would ve been cut short.

alexialin:

Well am not comparing myself to others or to anyone

I simply believe with the pact I have with God. Shikena.

mysticgal:
This is too much to bear.
Fernandez just left me cold, Fernandez it's not just fair.

I dreamt of him this morning, guys, he's sleeping well. He smiled, yes. He's sleeping well.

Adieu ify, I love you.

TheEminentLaity:
So he wasn't truly serving god? Maybe when it comes close to you because like rain, the increasing deterioration of educational, health and other institutions in the country affects by and large everyone who lives in Nigeria.

My CDS coordinator used to say 'Death is just another statistic until it comes to someone related'

hopefulLandlord:

but you can't die like this cuz you "serve God", "no true Christian that serves god would die like this', remember?

be proud of your cognitive bias, wear it like a badge

emmayayodeji:


Yes i know
my point is why should i serve God and ill die like a chicken!

alexialin:

Bottom line is Am proud of God
Am happy serving God

And I feel everyone has their own destinies amd ways of dying at the end.

We will all die one day, but how? Where? When? Is the one million dollar question, no one can answer and be sure of.

hopefulLandlord:


it feels better for them to blame the victim rather than admit their Yahweh's promises in the Holy Bible are false
