As the topic implies, it could be a case of
1. Persecution.
2. Physical attack
3. Rough situation.
Whatsoever it is, because there are situation or places one may be or find themselves in; sometimes we hear about killing of christians, attack on christians/believers and the rest.

I know about TOLERANCE, in some case; certain people disrespect their followers, their believe or disagree with their point of view. However, Christians/believers try to ease everything peacefully.
@Bolded: I stated that because, some people or believers of some kind of religion can murder, cause mayhem or destruction, because everything is provocative to them.
An eye for an eye would throw everything in chaos but, there must be something that says "keep off" don't dare us.

This is where you know how useless religion is. So, your mogs and pastors who collect money from you all cannot provide you the protection you require, yet you continue to worship them. Well, the only option left is to depend on your government but how many of you pay taxes or pay attention to the political and economic situation in your communities? You all know so much about the business of your pastors and mogs but not that, sadly! undecided
This thread isnt for your christianity hatred.

Take your bitterness elsewhere if u cant be objective

Jesus thought his disciples to love their brothers in faith, friends, neighbours and enemies. We are to even pray for our enemies.
It was also repeatedly taught in the NT that we shouldn't take vengeance into our hands that we should leave it for God Almighty who will avenge for us.

So what a true Christian can do during violence and attack is to run. If it's a situation where it's impossible to run, then we can only depend on Jehovah God for a miraculous protection.

Shalom!

Defend yourself how the constitution says. If you kill someone out of self defence, it's not murder

Gun for guns. Knives for knives.

Bomb for bomb

I have been saying this thing like for ever but some people who are assistant god will tell you to turn your face if they slap the right side.

Simple something get a gun if you can't carry dagger around even in church if any mother fvcker screen blasphemy near you dagger e neck .

Christians should be brutal , if them like tag you terrorist good and fine .

Even Jesus disciples where armed with dagger that was why peter could remove the ear of someone.

He did not pray for that point of defense.

And he said to them, “When I sent you out with no moneybag or knapsack or sandals, did you lack anything?” They said, “Nothing.”

36.He said to them, “But now let the one who has a.moneybag take it, and likewise a knapsack. And let the one who has no sword sell his cloak and buy one.

37 For I tell you that this Scripture must be fulfilled in me: ‘And he was numbered with the transgressors.’ For what is written about me has its fulfillment.”

38 And they said, “Look, Lord, here are two swords.” And he said to them, “It is enough .” (Luke 22:36)


Think. If Jesus allows self-defense with a lethal weapon in the face of persecution, then would Jesus prohibit protecting the home day or night? Would he restrict self-defense day or night in the face of a criminal coming to steal or kill or destroy? You certainly can’t
make such a case from Exodus 22:3. Given what Jesus says in Luke 22:36, given the fact that a sword is a lethal weapon, Jesus affirms lethal force in self-defense. And in this New Testament passage, Jesus doesn’t limit the time of day. Certainly, lethal force
should be avoided if possible. However, those who break in and steal face the possibility that their actions will cost them their lives as they choose to endanger themselves and others by entering a home violently or by stealth.

It's simple! Turn the other cheek, like Christ said. Eventually your enemy either feels shame and turns their life around or they get caught up by the law. God has his way of protecting his people!

Gun attack requires you to attack back with guns too. From the day of Jonh the Baptist??

If person wan attack you with gun, and he or she knows you have gun too, it will make him to have a rethink.

God has a way of protecting his people but never take a christian for a fool.
For me, I operate on the rule "do unto others what you want them to do to you."
So I teach lessons to people that do anyhow. It's not revenge, it's just free schooling.

Food for thought - Peter carried a dagger to protect Jesus.

My siggy!

Weird part is, the white men who brought this Christianity to you retards, all have guns in their homes. Like, even down to their children who are 16years and above. But you in Nigeria collect handkerchiefs and annointing oil from your stupid pastors, and then pray in the face of death, hoping that god will come down from heaven and be your "bulletproof".

I have never seen a people as stupid as Nigerian christians..😂!

Calling their God when under attack is useless because most of them got killed while busy calling that God.

When under attack, one has to come up with a realistic plan... During end sars I saw some of y'all so call righteous Christians going to the streets just to pray, and where did that lead you?

Not everything requires God.
