This picture of Pastor Chris Okotie ministering in a church with four mean-looking guards got me wondering if Christianity has not been taken to another level. Is it really necessary to have bodyguards all around our Men of God?

Pastor Chris was in the news lately for statements he made regarding all Catholics going to hell (read here).

The question is should Men of God have bodyguards? Why is it prevalent in Christianity?

Have your say....

Maybe because dem. No trust God.
They need help

No! Only Ghost should do that unless on leave.

what happened to 'the lord is my shepherd??'...
It shows he aint even sure of the god he's claiming to serve..

larrymoore: No! Only Ghost should do that unless on leave.

What

Its not wrong, the disciples kindof acted lyk Jesus' body guards too

Why should a true man of God have a bodyguard? is he scared to die?

Oyinprince: Its not wrong, the disciples kindof acted lyk Jesus' body guards too

Hmmm.....they were not called to be bodyguards.

Oyinprince: Its not wrong, the disciples kindof acted lyk Jesus' body guards too

I am really interested in this observation. What is the role of a bodyguard? After that, do you consider any apprentice a bodyguard? If not, why.

They wer not called body guards, my point is they kindof acted lyk dat

Reyginus: I am really interested in this observation. What is the role of a bodyguard? After that,do you consider any apprentice a bodyguard? If not, why.

u dont get ma point, didnt any of dem try to defend jesus at any point?

Oyinprince: Its not wrong, the disciples kindof acted lyk Jesus' body guards too

This is how misinterpreting the scriptures start. 'It kinda looks like'
Like play like play now, if oyinprince opens a church tomorrow,he'll start using it to support having bodyguards

That's how a jet church now claims that Jesus was so rich and was always wearing very expensive clothes that's why they cast lots for his robe which shows that the robe was very expensive: am like what?

Una can lie for Jesus head!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I smh for all these endtime new generation bible readers

^^^ well said!

Only a man of God who has an impotent God would need body guards

theres notin wrong wit self defense(protection)

If a so called man of god can't have enough faith in his god for protection,why should i? Even Okotie knows god doesn't exist and he's just in it for the money gullible Nigerians are ever willing to part with. The bodyguards are there just in case a member of the congregation tries to act the føol & make away with the tithes & offerings

good questions. lets let the public decide

Security is just a simple common sense. Certain measure may be taken when there's security concern . It is simple common sense. Jesus took security measures when such need arose . Paul took security measures when such need arose . If a man of God feel the need of measures in the face of robbery , assassin or kidnappers , he is free to take such measure according to his level of faith. That doesn't take away prayers. Because after all theses measures have been taken . We don't put faith in them . Safety is still by God. But the physical measures cAn prevent some evil

Only the wicked who have something to hide have bodyguards, Jesus never had any body guards.

And it is hilarious that these so called ( more like self appointed) MOG have faith to heal all diseases ( in theory ) but no faith in the ability of God to protect them, lol.

Fake lot they all are !!!

frosbel:

Did Jesus do any evil to have enemies? Did paul do any evil to have assassins sent after him?

Why did Jesus escape being lynched by muderrers?

It's better to prevent evil than escaping evil . Do you know how many times paul suffered robbery? Security is common sense. The Lord is still our shepherd .

When Jesus got security information that assassins were out for him. He refused to go down to Judaea . Was that cowardness ? . It's common sense . The Lord is still our shepherd.

John 7:1
. . .for He would not travel in Judea because the Jews were seeking to kill Him.

The answer is NO!
The idea and sight of it gives the impression that the MOG has some faith and security disagreements with God, which is not a good sign.

I mean why not just stick with the usual church protocol officers who stand beside the altar wearing suits (not that I fancy that anyway)...but it's better than using men who look like they came to engage in guerilla warfare inside the house of God. #pathetic

Oyinprince: Its not wrong, the disciples kindof acted lyk Jesus' body guards too

are you comparing pastor to Jesus?

Oyinprince: u dont get ma point, didnt any of dem try to defend jesus at any point?

I get your point perfectly. I only find something wrong with it. Is that your definition of a bodyguard?

Jogbe is one of those Christians that would do anything to support watever his fellow xtian is doing.

If pastors lick poo, he would support

Reyginus: I get your point perfectly. I only find something wrong with it.Is that your definition of a bodyguard?

a bodyguard is mor dan dt.bt if a pastor feel he nids it,he suld take measures 2 provide imself physical security

Am yet to see a traditional priest or spiritual teacher with a body guard

And these pastors preach that African God is powerless while Israel's God is all powerful

Smh such lies
