This is pure blasphemy.
It is an unforgivable sin to stand on the altar with a rifle.

This type of sin won't have gone unpunished in the days of the biblical Moses and David.
Sometimes I get angry with the Lord for being such a merciful God.

Christianity as a religion of peace and longsuffering must not be associated with any tool of violence.

Please keep quiet.

Nehemiah built the walls of Jerusalem with tools on one hand and weapons on the other

He's right... Jesus preach against taking up weapons. He also mention that whoever that kills by the sword will die by it. One question I have for those whom claim to be Christians today is: "are they really following Jesus's instructions (which should make them Christians) or following what they feels is right?" Remember, Jesus instructions is what we should look upto, not our own mind.

Soldiers for Christ.

For the uninformed,Soldiers take their weapons everywhere with them when at war, even to the toilet,mosque and church, because attacks can come anytime.

I know someone will ask why they are carrying guns in church.[/quote
Hmmmmm,they can take their guns anywhere them like,all i know is that they are team retreat and abandonment fc,they have been retreating since 2011 till date.

Proverbs 19:2b Also, that the soul be without knowledge, it is not good;'

I may not know your religion but with your comments posted, it shows that you don't have adequate knowledge of scriptures.

Pray this prayer Paul in the book of Ephesians 1:17-18 That the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give unto you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of him:
The eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that ye may know what is the hope of his calling, and what the riches of the glory of his inheritance in the saints,"

quote author=realmindz post=72279843]If only the god they worship could defend them,
If only that god had not let evil befall the people they defend
What a sad world, that god never cared about the people they defended nor the soldiers defending those being defended.
But to look at the positive side, it's a good thing they have time to entertain themselves even though their worships don't go beyond the roofs and even if it goes beyond the roofs, It does not go beyond space....


On a lighter note, lemme share this funny idea,

The day Nigeria army will engage Israeli Army in war fare, how will Nigerian soldiers pray.."oh god of Israel, deliver the Israelites unto our hands"

While we pray, advanced countries are building...Africa wake up, your god is no where in Israel nor Asia[/quote]

when Nehemiah rebuilt the wall they had their weapons while working...Sure thing our GOD being merciful.

Their actions was based on God's instructions then, on the contrary, Christians today should obey God's commandments through Jesus which says: "make disciples from all nations, do not take up weapon..."

2 Corinthians 10:4 says: The weapons we fight with are not the weapons of the world. On the contrary, they have divine power to demolish strongholds.

Are we(imperfect) to follow what seems okay to us or follow what the creator(perfect) desire fromy us?

Hey boy, ain't nothing blasphemous about this. Bible says faith without work is dead.

Do you think it'll please God if they are foolish enough to dump their weapons somewhere while in church knowing very well that they are moles in the military that give out strategic info and coordinates to Boko Haram.

Your view on this is heretical. Even David called on God in the theatre of war before launching an offensive with his ballistic missiles against Goliath. He didn't go there bare handedly.

Luke 3:
12Even corrupt tax collectors came to be baptized and asked, “Teacher, what should we do?”

13He replied, “Collect no more taxes than the government requires.”

14“What should we do?” asked some soldiers.

John replied, “Don’t extort money or make false accusations. And be content with your pay.”

Soldiers were not told to leave their guns.

Matthew 26:52 ESV

Then Jesus said to him, “Put your sword back into its place. For all who take the sword will perish by the sword.

John 14:15 ESV “If you love me, you will keep my commandments.

There's only but one religion that allows the usage of bomb and guns. Not Christians.

All the same, we thank God for their lives and our lives.

Soldiers fighting in the desert found time to worship God and you were concerned about the guns hanging on their necks.....

It was supposed to be plausible.....

Were they supposed to drop their guns at the entrance before worshiping?

Nonsense and ingredients.......

Ooooh, you have forgotten that that place of worship was inside a war thorn Bush....
