Should Ukrainian Christians love their Russian enemies, even while fighting against the Russian armies? |

SELENSKY SHOULD APPROACH THE UN TO HELP THEM CREATE A TWO FULLY AUTONOMOUS STATES FEDERATION OF WU & EU STATES, WEST UKRAINE AND EAST UKRAINE. THE EAST WILL INCLUDE CRIMEA. IT'S LOVE FOR NATO TO DRIVE RUSSIA OUT OF UKRAINE COMPLETELY. THE SAME WAY THE YORUBAS, IGBOS, TIVS, IJAWS, IBIBIOS ETCETERA ETCETERA MUST DRIVE NON RESIDENT INVADERS OUT OF THEIR LANDS. |

If the news is to be believed, apparently some young Russian soldiers were crying in Ukraine when they saw the devastation. Some were even calling for their mums. They said they were not told why to go and bomb Ukraine and were simply following orders. Methinks the devil has taken over Putin just as he took over Pharaoh. Let's watch Putin's end. Sadly, soldiers are trained to obey. |

FaceTanke: You misunderstand what I have written. They were lied to about the reasons for the war. They got to Ukraine then found out they were lied to but they must obey orders. |

FaceTanke:The truth of this matter is what you just hit right on the head, there's no reason for any human to raise weapons in support of any notion or opinion raised by another fellow human. Matthew 26:52 When two persons have anything to settle within themselves {Matthew 18:15} and others in the community tried to intervene so as to resolve it for them amicably {Matthew 18:16} but the two of them ignored or rejected such idea then nobody should support either side. Matthew 17:17 Once we humans understand this logic there will be no more wars globally! Isaiah 2:2-4 compare to Psalms 46:9 2 Likes |

OLAADEGBU: Now you see how the Jehovah witnesses are better than any other religion? They were practically able to follow Jesus's commandments and teachings about LOVE. I can proudly say that no JWs in the Ukraine and Russia war had raised weapons against his neighbours or enemies. Cool No matter what, a true Christian must not kill. He must always depend and trust JEHOVAH for his safety even in the face if death. Jesus never gave us conditions to love. God bless every JWs wherever they are! 1 Like 1 Share |

cornelboy: Jesus is the commander in chief of all the heavenly forces! Matthew 25:31 So as the most experienced soldier in the whole universe Jesus knew that the best form of DEFENSE is ATTACK. But how do you attack an enemy who has kept his/her hatred inwardly without any move? Jesus commanded us to go and me them in their homes to dismantle that seed of hatred Satan planted in their hearts {Matthew 10:11-13} by so doing we will conquer those with conscience among them and win them over to the side of the Prince of Peace. Such individual will no longer be interested in going to kill his fellowman again over worldly politics. This is what Vladimir Putin noticed in the activities of JWs that made him labelled us as extremists (terrorists) he realized that with our preaching and teaching no Russian will carry weapons to go and kill their neighbours. Now imagine if all the religions on the planet are Jehovah's Witnesses, how will this planet be? 1 Like

It is key to love your enemy especially in times of war. While you defend your family, land and nation, you must always remember to love your enemy. Show respect to prisoners, don't participate in rape torture or genocide. And pray for peace. Note; God so loved the world yet he destroyed it with water, He destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah and he led the armies of Israel to destroying many nations. 1 Like |

OLAADEGBU:Many tend to forget that there was war in heaven among the sons of God. Did God not love all his children? Yet there was a war. The bible calls the Lord, Mighty man in battle. Our hearts can be full of love yet we can go to war 2 Likes |

OLAADEGBU: All Adam's descendants are imperfect (sinners) {Romans 5:12} so none of us is fit for God's glory {Romans 3:23} but if we're under the control of God's Holy Spirit any wise observer will notice that something strange is working in the gathering of imperfect humans! Matthew 7:16-18 So what is the FRUIT that will serve as evidence of God's Holy Spirit in the midst of imperfection humans (sinners) ? Apostle Paul answered: On the other hand, the fruitage of the spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faith, mildness, self-control" Galatians 5:22-23a So anytime you sense all these qualities in the gathering of imperfect humans (sinners) know that God's Holy Spirit is WORKING there. And Jesus is in control {Matthew 18:20} no accusation "against such a gathering can be established as LAW in any sane society" Galatians 5:23b |

OLAADEGBU: It's the FRUIT Paul talked about in the Bible! And is WORKING out BENEFITS in the gathering of JEHOVAH'S WITNESSES throughout the earth that's why we will never raise weapons against anyone because we know our brothers and sisters are in all parts of the earth. John 13:34-35 And if not people in other places are our neighbours! Mark 12:31 So we MUST NOT RAISE weapons against anyone as long as such a person is influenced by some constituted authorities {Matthew 5:41} we must always pray for them to see the need not to lift up weapons against or attack their fellowman! Luke 23:34 compare to Act 7:60 |

OLAADEGBU: Lol when Jesus taught that we should love our enemies and neighbors and avoid settling disputes with sword, it's only the Jehovah witnesses that fully follow Christ teachings. They don't engage in military services nor world politics. They stand for God's Kingdom. They translated the Bible and their sites to more than 1k languages just to make the good news reach everyone. Are they not the real followers of Christ? |

cornelboy: There is spiritual warfare before the physical warfare takes place but your intention is to disarm true believers of their spiritual armour (truth) with your half truth and lies (Watchtower literature) and then display virtue signalling that you don't take part in warfare. The devil has deceived you lot into being used to fight for him against God. cornelboy: You have no business standing for a Kingdom you are fighting against. cornelboy: Twisting and changing the truth of the Bible does not preaching the gospel. What you are doing is polluting the waters with poison for the unsuspecting to drink. cornelboy: More like followers of the anti Christ/Anti God. |
