AustineCJ:
go back to your secondary school and collect your school free back.....at least one needs to be dead to become a martyr

No. Not at all..

Those who are still alive but suffer persecution for Christ's sakes are martyrs.

Besides, why do you think I said I don't see them "...being martyrs"? What do you think the word "being" is doing there?


Rather you should go back to Primary School and collect your fees for not being taught verbs and types of verbs and meaning.

Jonathan:
The catholic cult church has done many atrocious things to people than all terrorist organisation put together if we go by history.


These are the people that'd do ANYTHING just to silence a critic or antagonist of their doctrines.


So many Christians were killed for crimes like just translating the Bible from one language to another of just for criticising a 'father'.....

A man was almost killed too FOR DISPUTING THEIR BIBLE SAYING THAT THE EARTH IS FLAT LIKE A DISC.


Terrorists

Dont forget that Christianity was one till the 15th century. Those who participated in this may have also broken away after seeing how lucrative it is to set up mushroom church es with the lie that they were called. Also know that alot of catbolics were also mattered.

Killed for what they believed in,not here in 9ja oh.........my God help us all...

Interesting: may God grant us the courage to die for our belief.

Why don't you lead the way in death. After all Stephen was not even an apostle before he died for Christ.

MhizzAJ:


You are the one who doesn't understand English or do you read up side down
Didn't you see the word 'Being' there

What's the definition of a martyr-A martyr is someone who is killed because of his beliefs... Death is a requirement to be a martyr so abeg stop quoting me when you don't even have any idea what am correcting him about.

HeyCorleone:



Check who a martyr is.. From the way they lived their lives it was quite obvious they'd end up as one.

You don't have all the comforts of life and die a martyr

You don't have to die to be a martyr. Check the definition.

Shallom.

The English dictionary clearly states a Martyr is someone killed for his/her beliefs,you can't be alive and be a martyr.

And who am I to judge if they are living their lives in the way of a martyr,thats their business,what am correcting is your comment.

The list isn't completed, without mentioning the Redeemed Christian Church lady Evangelist that was killed in the outskirts of Abuja few years ago, those are people who died for the sake of the gospel.

Isaiah 40:22 It is he that sitteth upon the circle of the earth, and the inhabitants thereof are as grasshoppers; that stretcheth out the heavens as a curtain, and spreadeth them out as a tent to dwell in.

Job 38:13 That it might take hold of the ends of the earth, that the wicked might be shaken out of it?

It Would Take An Elect Born Again In The Holyghost To Witness Christ Unto Death.
Many Of Us Whom Conderm Pastors Are Not Save; Yet We Speak Against Them.
Although Many Of Them Are False Prophets; But Is It An Excuse To Remain In The World And Continuel In Sin,since Your So-called Pastors Have Failed.
False Pastors Are Not The Standard, Jesus Is The Standard,come To Him Today. Forget Who Failed And Whose The Hypocrite; Look For The Truth,and Follow The Truth.

When the head is sick, the whole body suffer... U forgetting this, a blind man, will only lead u to destruction (pit)

Na .. A martyr is also one who is persecuted for their beliefs.

Besides I used the word "being" before "martyr". "Being" is a verb which connotes something that would occur or happen I.e in the future.


So sit down and be humble. You know nothing son.

Capital Punishment Crimes:

Kill People Who Don’t Listen to Priests

Anyone arrogant enough to reject the verdict of the
judge or of the priest who represents the LORD your
God must be put to death. Such evil must be purged
from Israel. (Deuteronomy 17:12 NLT)
Kill Witches
You should not let a sorceress live. (Exodus 22:17
NAB)

Kill Homosexuals

“If a man lies with a male as with a women, both of
them shall be put to death for their abominable deed;
they have forfeited their lives.” (Leviticus 20:13
NAB)

Kill Fortunetellers

A man or a woman who acts as a medium or
fortuneteller shall be put to death by stoning; they
have no one but themselves to blame for their death.
(Leviticus 20:27 NAB)
Death for Hitting Dad
Whoever strikes his father or mother shall be put to
death. (Exodus 21:15 NAB)

Death for Cursing Parents

1) If one curses his father or mother, his lamp will go
out at the coming of darkness. (Proverbs 20:20
NAB)
2) All who curse their father or mother must be put
to death. They are guilty of a capital offense.
(Leviticus 20:9 NLT)
Death for Adultery
If a man commits adultery with another man’s wife,
both the man and the woman must be put to death.
(Leviticus 20:10 NLT)

Death for Fornication

A priest’s daughter who loses her honor by
committing fornication and thereby dishonors her
father also, shall be burned to death. (Leviticus
21:9 NAB)
Death to Followers of Other Religions
Whoever sacrifices to any god, except the Lord alone,
shall be doomed. (Exodus 22:19 NAB)
Kill Nonbelievers
They entered into a covenant to seek the Lord, the
God of their fathers, with all their heart and soul; and
everyone who would not seek the Lord, the God of
Israel, was to be put to death, whether small or great,
whether man or woman. (2 Chronicles 15:12-13
NAB)

Kill False Prophets

If a man still prophesies, his parents, father and
mother, shall say to him, “You shall not live, because
you have spoken a lie in the name of the Lord.” When
he prophesies, his parents, father and mother, shall
thrust him through. (Zechariah 13:3 NAB)

Kill the Entire Town if One Person Worships
Another God

Suppose you hear in one of the towns the LORD your
God is giving you that some worthless rabble among
you have led their fellow citizens astray by
encouraging them to worship foreign gods. In such
cases, you must examine the facts carefully. If you
find it is true and can prove that such a detestable act
has occurred among you, you must attack that town
and completely destroy all its inhabitants, as well as
all the livestock. Then you must pile all the plunder in
the middle of the street and burn it. Put the entire
town to the torch as a burnt offering to the LORD
your God. That town must remain a ruin forever; it
may never be rebuilt. Keep none of the plunder that
has been set apart for destruction. Then the LORD
will turn from his fierce anger and be merciful to you.
He will have compassion on you and make you a
great nation, just as he solemnly promised your
ancestors. “The LORD your God will be merciful only
if you obey him and keep all the commands I am
giving you today, doing what is pleasing to
him.” (Deuteronomy 13:13-19 NLT)

Kill Women Who Are Not Virgins On Their
Wedding Night

But if this charge is true (that she wasn’t a
virgin on her wedding night) , and evidence of
the girls virginity is not found, they shall bring the girl
to the entrance of her fathers house and there her
townsman shall stone her to death, because she
committed a crime against Israel by her unchasteness
in her father’s house. Thus shall you purge the evil
from your midst. (Deuteronomy 22:20-21 NAB)

Kill Followers of Other Religions.

1) If your own full brother, or your son or daughter,
or your beloved wife, or you intimate friend, entices
you secretly to serve other gods, whom you and your
fathers have not known, gods of any other nations,
near at hand or far away, from one end of the earth
to the other: do not yield to him or listen to him, nor
look with pity upon him, to spare or shield him, but
kill him. Your hand shall be the first raised to slay
him; the rest of the people shall join in with you. You
shall stone him to death, because he sought to lead
you astray from the Lord, your God, who brought you
out of the land of Egypt, that place of slavery. And all
Israel, hearing of this, shall fear and never do such
evil as this in your midst. (Deuteronomy 13:7-12
NAB)
2) Suppose a man or woman among you, in one of
your towns that the LORD your God is giving you, has
done evil in the sight of the LORD your God and has
violated the covenant by serving other gods or by
worshiping the sun, the moon, or any of the forces of
heaven, which I have strictly forbidden. When you
hear about it, investigate the matter thoroughly. If it
is true that this detestable thing has been done in
Israel, then that man or woman must be taken to the
gates of the town and stoned to death.
(Deuteronomy 17:2-5 NLT)

Death for Blasphemy

One day a man who had an Israelite mother and an
Egyptian father got into a fight with one of the
Israelite men. During the fight, this son of an Israelite
woman blasphemed the LORD’s name. So the man
was brought to Moses for judgment. His mother’s
name was Shelomith. She was the daughter of Dibri
of the tribe of Dan. They put the man in custody until
the LORD’s will in the matter should become clear.
Then the LORD said to Moses, “Take the blasphemer
outside the camp, and tell all those who heard him to
lay their hands on his head. Then let the entire
community stone him to death. Say to the people of
Israel: Those who blaspheme God will suffer the
consequences of their guilt and be punished. Anyone
who blasphemes the LORD’s name must be stoned to
death by the whole community of Israel. Any Israelite
or foreigner among you who blasphemes the LORD’s
name will surely die. (Leviticus 24:10-16 NLT)

Kill False Prophets

1) Suppose there are prophets among you, or those
who have dreams about the future, and they promise
you signs or miracles, and the predicted signs or
miracles take place. If the prophets then say, ‘Come,
let us worship the gods of foreign nations,’ do not
listen to them. The LORD your God is testing you to
see if you love him with all your heart and soul. Serve
only the LORD your God and fear him alone. Obey his
commands, listen to his voice, and cling to him. The
false prophets or dreamers who try to lead you astray
must be put to death, for they encourage rebellion
against the LORD your God, who brought you out of
slavery in the land of Egypt. Since they try to keep
you from following the LORD your God, you must
execute them to remove the evil from among you.
(Deuteronomy 13:1-5 NLT)
2) But any prophet who claims to give a message
from another god or who falsely claims to speak for
me must die.’ You may wonder, ‘How will we know
whether the prophecy is from the LORD or not?’ If
the prophet predicts something in the LORD’s name
and it does not happen, the LORD did not give the
message. That prophet has spoken on his own and
need not be feared. (Deuteronomy 18:20-22
NLT)

Infidels and Gays Should Die

So God let them go ahead and do whatever shameful
things their hearts desired. As a result, they did vile
and degrading things with each other’s bodies.
Instead of believing what they knew was the truth
about God, they deliberately chose to believe lies. So
they worshiped the things God made but not the
Creator himself, who is to be praised forever. Amen.
That is why God abandoned them to their shameful
desires. Even the women turned against the natural
way to have sex and instead indulged in sex with each
other. And the men, instead of having normal sexual
relationships with women, burned with lust for each
other. Men did shameful things with other men and,
as a result, suffered within themselves the penalty
they so richly deserved. When they refused to
acknowledge God, he abandoned them to their evil
minds and let them do things that should never be
done. Their lives became full of every kind of
wickedness, sin, greed, hate, envy, murder, fighting,
deception, malicious behavior, and gossip. They are
backstabbers, haters of God, insolent, proud, and
boastful. They are forever inventing new ways of
sinning and are disobedient to their parents. They
refuse to understand, break their promises, and are
heartless and unforgiving. They are fully aware of
God’s death penalty for those who do these things, yet
they go right ahead and do them anyway. And, worse
yet, they encourage others to do them, too. (Romans
1:24-32 NLT)

Kill Anyone who Approaches the Tabernacle

For the LORD had said to Moses, ‘Exempt the tribe of
Levi from the census; do not include them when you
count the rest of the Israelites. You must put the
Levites in charge of the Tabernacle of the Covenant,
along with its furnishings and equipment. They must
carry the Tabernacle and its equipment as you travel,
and they must care for it and camp around it.
Whenever the Tabernacle is moved, the Levites will
take it down and set it up again. Anyone else who
goes too near the Tabernacle will be executed.’
(Numbers 1:48-51 NLT)

Kill People for Working on the Sabbath

The LORD then gave these further instructions to
Moses: ‘Tell the people of Israel to keep my Sabbath
day, for the Sabbath is a sign of the covenant between
me and you forever. It helps you to remember that I
am the LORD, who makes you holy. Yes, keep the
Sabbath day, for it is holy. Anyone who desecrates it
must die; anyone who works on that day will be cut
off from the community. Work six days only, but the
seventh day must be a day of total rest. I repeat:
Because the LORD considers it a holy day, anyone
who works on the Sabbath must be put to
death.’ (Exodus 31:12-15 NLT)
