Caracta: To lie down on the floor in fear is far different from bowing down in awe or reverence.

mekaboy: Most times i hear Christians testifying in church , how they were robbed and the armed robbers asked them to lay down on the floor and they lay down with their eyes closes. They robbed them, took everything but did not kill them.
Praise the lord.

And the pastor will say brother thank God for your life. I wonder what happened to the part of the Scriptures that said 'no weapon fashioned against you shall prosper'/ What about the story of Elijah when surrounded with soldiers asked God to open the eyes of his servant so that he will see that there are more angels with them than the soldiers surrounding.

Is it that Christians only quote those parts of the bible but don't really believe it?

izenco2005: Stupid ?

okpara ugo:

Oya carry gun go rub Oyedepo or Adeboye. A man's faith carries him in such circumstances.

I know a young pastor who refused obeying kidnappers in Owerri. They wanted carting him away inside his car boot, he refused them shutting the boot. They tried shooting him severally yet no bullet left their guns till they eventually shot his accomplice. Yet the guy they shot left hospital 2days later.

Stop being stupid on this thread.

paris10:

No my brother, it is because the armed robbers themselves knows the bible more than the victims. Devil cannot bind itself. It is ignorant and unwise to start binding and sending holy ghost fire against a mere physical and mortal criminal. But it is wise to hit them with a base bat or gun them down.

When Jesus was cornered and about to be arrested, one of his disciples took a sword and cut off the ear of the accuser; one begin to wonder why the disciple didn't bind them or rain brimstone upon them. The answer is simple: it won't work! The accusers were mere men with no extra-terrestrial powers. "For we wrestle not against flesh and blood..." the bible says. Making a bad decision does not make you less of a man.

And for the twelve disciples, except ofcourse Peter who died a natural death because of Jesus's prophesy over him, the rest were arrested, tortured, skinned alive, some were put in furnace of fire, some skinned alive, one was hanged and one was put in a hot oil. All in all they all died a disastrous death. They were powerful men with supernatural gift, but that didn't save them. There time was come and binding and holy ghost fire couldn't save them.

moderatorr:

Christians who have enough faith dont surrender to armed robbers.
Tb Joshua once collected a pistol from an armed robber robbing close to his church while he was preaching.
It was captured on cam:

Rev. Father Ede, always ask visiting thieves to help pack loads of blocks for construction workers until they are tired.
Then he will ask them to go back from whence they came with their guns and promise to die if they steal again.

Your level of faith at that point of attack will direct you what to do; to surrender or to command the thief.

ujukala: You are tempting God. When He wants to perform a miracle, no one can tell him. Besides, Elijah is a prophet who never died on earth. Read your Bible again.

when someone like one is shot by ordinary pick pockets, people will be sorry for you and be blaming the thieves for killing you probably because of a phone, not knowing its your punishment for mocking God.

mekaboy: BRO I AM NOT A MUSLIM, I AM A CHRISTIAN, JUST WONDERING WHY WE DONT STAND ON THE WORD OF GOD WHEN CONFRONTED BY DANGER.

DARKNESS SHOULD BOW TO LIGHT, WE KNOW THAT ALL POWERS IN HEAVEN AND ON EARTH COME FROM GOD, IF ARMED ROBBERS CAN USE CHARM TO PROTECT THEMSELVES FROM BULLETS, I THINK WE ARE BETTER PROTECTED IN CHRIST.

AND THE TRUTH IS THAT THE REASONS CHRISTIANS ARE AFRAID WHEN CONFRONTED BY ARMED ROBBERS IS BECAUSE WE HAVE BECOME TOO MATERIALISTIC, WE HAVE CONFORMED TO THIS WORLD. IS IT NOT BECAUSE OF OUR CARS, HOUSES, CHILDREN, MONEY, JOB ETC THAT WE ARE AFRAID TO DIE?

striktlymi: I am really at a loss why this topic made front page. I believe firmly that topics such as this which has the potential to bring about quarrels shouldn't be allowed or at the minimum they should not make front page. I really do not know but it seems some moderators get a kick from seeing people quarrel and insult each other over very trivial matters.
