Lol......

The comments so far PROVE that Christians are a confused set of people, or rather contemptible hypocrites, extremely dishonest, proficient at cherry-picking from their contradictory religious text, and fond of Orwellian doublethink.....

One begins to wonder if they really believe as they claim.

Scriptures?
Cos I don't think so. Every murderer will go to hell. Whose orders should a christian follow? God or man? Jesus would NEVER permit a man to kill another man.

Why I love Jehovah witnesses. They don't have any business with politics or military.

You can as well ask will lawyers go to heaven because they know the truth some tea yet defend you and lie in doing that. Soldiers kill the enemies...those who are threat to national peace. It's a job but i will not take up such job as a Christian.

dalaman:
Christians know[b]very well that the idiotic pacifism thought by Jesus is impossible. They can't ever follow his teachings. They just love to tall about how the Jesus talk about love[/b]. They will tell you that you are to love your enemies, love your neighbors as your self, turn the other cheek and the other nonsense Jesus said they should do that they NEVER follow. They only talk about it. Jesus went as far as saying that if a person takes your shirt you are to give him your shirt. He encouraged his followers to run away when prosecuted instead of fighting back.

The new testament is filled with idiotic pasifism that no christian ever follows. They NEVER follow it. They only keep repeating it like robots. They know very well that it is all nonsense and impossible to follow any of the nonsense Jesus said. That's why I can see felixmor and malvisguy212 crying baa baa baa, meh meh meh without using the bible to support anything they are saying. If it were another topic they'll be throwing bible verses at you like some deranged goats now all they can do is cry baa baa baa, meh meh meh.

The title of the thread.
Try again..

Wonder why a Christian's on Nairaland at this time?

Has church really gotten so boring?

princetom1:


Please, u guys should understand the bible, simple difference between old testament and new testament, una no sabi. Not everything that was practiced in old testament is practical again, since Jesus died on the cross and he taught these things too

HardMirror:

Ask yourself, what would Jesus do? As a christian, you have no business killing anyone not even in self defense. Seems you don't read your bible.

They're still in vogue. Stop selecting the ones that suit you same with the witnesses

I enjoyed this....

So, my friend, may I ask, if you get a divine revelation from God, telling you to go and slaughter your mum, this very minute, will you go ahead to carry out the act, in accordance with the divine commandment?

robbinn:
as we don't have any right to kill... in the Bible also GOD didn't forgive Cain when he killed abel.God Can only take vengeance fr yhu. so calling a military man a Christian iz wrong.bkos Jesus said that if you want to follow im u must forget abt ur families and follow him.. Peter left is job to follow jesus christ.. nd so many others... wat m saying is dat d military man shuld live is post nd go fr anoda job 2 avoid d wrath of GOD.:-

AceRoyal:
YES!!!
CHRISTIANS ARE ALLOWED TO KILL IN SELF DEFENSE!
EVEN GOD ENCOURAGES SELF DEFENSE AND TOTAL ANNIHILATION!!!

princetom1:


Gets ur facts right, Jehovah witnesses during WW1 and WW2, comes to mind, they are being persecuted in some countries even up till now, for reasons like, not joining military, not going to war, not partaking in politics and so on. Get ur facts right

Right from the days of Abraham to the days of the apostles Innocent people die in war.
Jesus prophesied the destruction of Isreal or rather ravage of israel because of their inability to know their time of salvation
GOD described David as a man after his own mind, now do u know that nobody in the bible killed more dan David in d bible.
My God is called Jehovah Melchadiska(the Lord mighty in battle) can a battle be fought without death of the innocent
Paul said pray for those in authority, can there be any authority without soldiers can there be soldiers without battles
Paul converted soldiers in rome, did he tell dem to stop their work
Philip baptized a eunuch go and read who a eunuch is
In d prophesied battle of armeggedon dat God said he himself will comw and defend israel, wont Innocent souls get killed?

oteneaaron:



Bro, JW fought in some wars( altho it is said some didn't kill nobody), before they finally realized that been a christian meant you didn't have to participate in the War....that was later led to Rutherford and his Colleagues been Imprisoned -- Remember the Leaving Babylon the great analogy?-



True.

Mind you, not all generalizations are silly..... I believe, going by the requirements, that a TRUE Christian is an IMPOSSIBILITY, as the criteria (if we're to ignore some contradictions) is against human nature.

My claim is contestable, though. Well, if you think you can prove me wrong, why not go ahead?

May I ask, who, in your opinion, is a true Christian? What's the definition?

i AM TELLING YOU, It is so annoying. The level of discourse on NL makes me feel sorry for been Nigerian sometimes. This is like the first time I am log in in like months just to respond to this nonsense. Can't people use their brain again. God himself told Israelite to kill pople for whatever reason , he Jesus came and in some context advocated peace , how does that mean you can' t kill if necessary or Jesus is now greater than God. The slowpoke keeps asking for bible verse to support killing, where is the bible that tells you to go to school...don't you go anyways. As if d bible must tell you everything.

Getting all emotional over something like this is IRRATIONAL, bro. He asked a question, which is as direct as it can get....... Why not answer it?

By the way, I can deduce from your post that you're a theologically illiterate Christian..... (no offence ). You needn't use arrogance as butter to eat your misconceptions and ignorance. Don't be a baby, my friend.

Well then, lemme ask you the question from a different angle, DID JESUS COMMAND YOU TO LOVE YOUR ENEMIES?
