idiot!
pig!
Must you add insult to your comment?

Nonsense!

paxonel:
the essence of the government to close down these institutions is it not for the yiuths to stay at home?
If the youths in your area are playing football rather than staying at home and by so doing they get the virus it's their fault, the government have warned that everyone should stay at home it's left for them to obey

Agboriotejoye:


Ok. Dats your interpretation right? So how come those terrorists disobey govt? Don't they read their Quran?

paxonel:
post a link of any mosque you know that has opened on any of these Fridays you can't.

makjo900:

Iyiataata92:
OP, Churches have closed down while Mosques continue to hold services. Are you not still ok with that?
What more do you hold against Churches?

Iyiataata92:

The mosque was shut down because the worshippers attacked the Lagos State Task Force

powerkey:


Mosques have been open and services on in those mosques.

Christians owe you nothing.


Imagine Islamic terrorists quoting Bible for Christians.


delete this your one sided post fast.

I recently read that a very popular pastor in Nigeria spoke against the arrest of pastors who disobeyed the social distancing order by the government by holding services of more than 50 people. His argument is that the pastors were arrested just as Jesus and his disciples were arrested for doing what government warned against.

Both instances are quite different from each other. Jesus and his disciples were arrested by the government for upholding God's commandments and testimonies. These pastors on the other hand were arrested for disobeying the government who hasn't stopped them from upholding God's commandments.

The lockdown and social distancing order by the government is not a persecution of Christianity as some are trying to paint it. It is truly what it is - the protection of people which is by curbing the spread of COVID-19.

If some people say Christianity is persecuted because Churches aren't allowed to hold services in the regular manner, what about night clubs, sports stadiums, concert halls, restaurants, buses, schools etc? Can those ones also cry of persecution?

The government is simply trying to protect the citizens by ensuring that the number of people infected with COVID-19 doesn't increase. Perhaps, it's when people start dropping dead that stubborn folks will understand the government's effort.

Any pastor that tries to cramp his church with a crowd is wicked and should be arrested for endangering lives and aiding the spread of the virus.

Some may say "God will protect us, so we must have faith in that by gathering as usual". That is a wrong thing to say because it means you are tempting God. God steps in when there's nothing else you can do to protect yourself. But when you have measures or escape route and still decide to walk into evil because you think God will protect you, then you will be punished.

Proverbs 22:3
A prudent man foreseeth the evil, and hideth himself: but the simple pass on, and are punished.

Don't tempt God, obey the government's guidelines towards battling this virus. It is not compulsory you gather in a build before you worship God. You can worship God individually at home because God is everywhere and can see you.

Proverbs 15:3
The eyes of the LORD are in every place, beholding the evil and the good.

The only time you can disobey government's order as a Christian is when they are telling you to disobey God's word. Shedrach, Meshach and Abednego were told by their government to bow before a statue. They refuse because it was against God's commandment.

Exodus 25:4-5
Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth:
Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the LORD thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me;

The three young man refused to obey the government's order because it goes against God's word. Then knew the punishment the government would visit then with. They knew God could deliver them from it because they couldn't deliver themselves. The only other way out of the punishment is by disobeying God. They didn't want that route so they trusted in God.

Daniel 3:17
17 If it be so, our God whom we serve is able to deliver us from the burning fiery furnace, and he will deliver us out of thine hand, O king

Don't let any false pastor expose your life to danger of the virus. The worst thing is that when you get infected, same pastors who hold stage-managed miracles in large stadiums won't be able to perform a miracle to heal you because they are false prophets who don't know God.

Stay at home and stay away from conspiracy theories. Read the Bible.

Hopzin:
you are a full bloody Muhammadian. That is how you people keep denying your religion if your are been payment back with the hatred you give out. You can only deceive yourself. If you think you tactics will work on me.

Now run along fool!

Go and drink cow urine

I guess it will make you feel better. Idiot

ybn:


The government is inconsistent. First, it was a restriction to 50, later 20 and some say total close down. Are you saying the place of God i bringing help to us should be downplayed in times of calamities? It is wrong to compare worship activities with clubbing, sports, etc. I believe worship places that can keep the 50 and 1-2 meters social distancing should be allowed to congregate.

makjo900:


It's obvious you are braindead

makjo900:



that is how stupid you guys are. the church was the beginning of the disaster in Italy presently

alBHAGDADI:


I recently read about a mosque in Agege which was shut down by the government of Lagos for flouting the social distancing order. I don't know about any other mosque disobeying the order.

But if Muslims want to expose themselves to the deadly virus, so be it. That doesn't mean Christians should do same.

luluman:
I only advise you to keep your mouth shut if you dont have points to table, but you turn it to insult, typical of those who dont have valid point (people known as Olodos) but can only insult others. NB: I did not insult you o,I only gave the class you belong to.

johnmattew:
the only mosque in my area has been on lockdown even b4 the lockdown began....but the churches in my area ,even 5he one owned by my neighbour are still having services

Sodiquinone:
CURE FOR COVID-19....The BIBLE SAYS in mark 16vs 17-18
And these signs will accompany those who believe: In My name
they will drive out demons; they will speak in new tongues; 18 they will pick up snakes with their hands, and if they drink any deadly poison, it will not harm them; they will lay their hands on the sick, and they will be made well.”
No single Nigerian Pastor can lay hand on Covid -19 patient to cure them because they are all FAKE.

Agboriotejoye:

Yeah. But the streets and neighbourhood mosques remain open to prayers and they've threatened to burn any church dat opens till they're allowed to hold jumaat
