Kobojunkie:This is why I recommended reading before response. I used the words Christians/believers relating to this topic with minor insight (bolded in quoted post) for those who fail to read properly. |

The very premise of Christianity is non-resistance to evil. Anything contrary to this is not aligned with what Jesus taught. If you are attacked, persecuted, killed and murdered, do not resist. If you are slapped, do not resist. If you are exploited, do not resist. If you have been cheated, do not go to court or resist. A tough pill to swallow. JasonNOTStatham: |

JasonNOTStatham:You Christians trust and obey ---- worship--- your gods of men and not Jesus Christ. Ofcourse you pretend you can hide this behind your many mentions of the name of God but...anyone with eyes knows who your real gods are. |

lakefist:Oh, did I hit a nerve there by pointing out that since you serve your gods of men you ought to demand protection from them? You give them your money, your life and your time so if they use it to protect themselves why should they equally use it to protect you too? |

Tallesty1: Judaism is the religion of the people of Israel Judaism teaches you to deal with your enemies ruthlessly. Christians were taught to love those that persecute them. A touch of Judaism in Nigeria Christianity will spell doom for terrorists |

cornelboy: You get stupid trying to defend your earlier stupidity ! You just said "Jesus ran for his life." and "Jesus went back to Jerusalem" where His enemies were and yet you pretend not to see the contradiction. Obviously your reasonability and intelligence has expired. Go and renew |

Dtruthspeaker:Na you dé talk wetin you no know o lol Why did Jesus run and why did he come back? He ran because his time hadn't yet come and he entered Jerusalem because his time had come to die for mankind. Stop displaying your foolishness here. Go and argue with someone at the same level as you. I'm done 1 Like |

GodHimself: Preventing attack is different from revenging attack. All what you wrote there are about revenging. Did Jesus teach Christians not to prevent attack? Just asking!!!!! |

PHYSICAL DEFENCE IS NOT A SIN BUT IS BETTER TO PRAY VIOLENTLY AHEAD TO AVERT PHYSICALS,SO YOU DONT HAVE TO SPILL HUMAN BLOOD. Pray without ceassing,because the days areas stipulated by the Holy Book.Because the days are so evil with increased poverty caused by heavy rise in greed of few evil lifestyle people. I ALWAYS ADVOCATE "MOVING PRAYER" VIBRATING IN YOUR HEART AS YOU STRIVE AFTER GOD FROM MORNING TO NIGHT,THIS IS VERY EFFECTIVE LIFESTYLE THAT KEEP YOU AT PEACE. |

Elsudani2: Exactly my point. The Bible says if your enemy slaps your right cheek, turn the left side. But what if he goes ahead to slap your left cheek? GIVE AM HEAVY BLOW FOR TEETH. Christians should learn how to instil horrible fear into the other religions. Damage them without mercy. In the Bible days, God will command the Israelites “Utterly slay every man and woman including the children”. So, While we love, let's be dangerous to danger. |

Ask the Roman Catholic Knight Templers and the early Popes that spear headed the then crusades. |
Re: How Should Christians/believers Defend Themselves From Attack And Violence? by cornelboy(f): 2:23pm On Sep 24, 2023 |
kabillionaire:Those were never real Christians. Jesus disciples and the early churches never committed those atrocities done by the Roman Catholics. We are to love our friends, brothers, neighbours and enemies. And be harmless as dove. |

Christianity is weak without the divine power. Christianity without the divine power requires physical weapons for defence; that is the prevailing situation in the world today. However, Christianity that operates the divine power is very dangerous. Jn. 18:3 So Judas came to the grove, guiding a detachment of soldiers and some officials from the chief priests and Pharisees. They were carrying torches, lanterns and weapons. Jn. 18:4 Jesus, knowing all that was going to happen to him, went out and asked them, “Who is it you want?” Jn. 18:5 “Jesus of Nazareth,” they replied. “I am he,” Jesus said. (And Judas the traitor was standing there with them.) Jn. 18:6 When Jesus said, “I am he,” they drew back and fell to the ground. Jn. 18:7 Again he asked them, “Who is it you want?” And they said, “Jesus of Nazareth.” Jn. 18:8 “I told you that I am he,” Jesus answered. “If you are looking for me, then let these men go.” Jn. 18:9 This happened so that the words he had spoken would be fulfilled: “I have not lost one of those you gave me.” [John 6:39] A whole detachment of soldiers came to arrest Jesus. The moment they indicated that they were looking for Jesus, they drew back and fell to the ground. That is the divine power in action. Jesus deliberately handed himself over to them, after they agreed to exclude his apostles from the arrest. I am still growing in the divine power, but I am already seeing some wonderful results. In recent times I began to have this experience that any time I eat among my village people, somebody would attack me with witchcraft poison. The first time I was attacked with witchcraft poison, as the poison was about to kill me, I called on Jesus and the spirit of infirmity left me immediately. The next time I was attacked with witchcraft poison, an idea came to me to fill my stmach with the blood of Jesus, by word of faith. I tried it and the spirit of infirmity left me. I used the blood of Jesus a few number of times that I was attacked with witchcraft poison and I was always instantly delivered. Then I was attacked again with witchcraft poison; I used the blood of Jesus and it didn't work. This time I noticed some movement in the roof of the house in which I was, which made me to understand that the person attacking me came by witchcraft to enforce the poison. I was then led to attack both the poison working in me and the enemy operating in the roof of the house with fire of the Holy Spirit, through word of faith, and I was delivered. Since then, I have been using the fire of the Holy Spirit to save myself and others from witchcraft poison and also to attack the enemy attacking me with the poison. I am no longer afraid of being poisoned by witches. This is the operation of the divine power. I am still working to raise my level in the operation of the divine power by confession of God's word. |
