The FALL DOWN AND DIE prayers is either confusing or satanic
Because
If it's men you are praying to die
Then you are sponsoring evil in the name of the Church.
Then you are working against Jesus and his redemption plan.
And don't forget
You at least have Once be an enemy of someone before.
Can't we at least copy Jesus?
Why we are Yet sinners, Christ died for us
He didn't murder us.
And on the other way
If it's spirit you are referring to
Then you are confusing saints
Spirits don't die
Jesus NEVER told anyone of them to die
So why this Prayer slang?
Who should FALL DOWN AND DIE?
.....Additional information.....
No where in the Bible were prayer points made about demons
On demons
Believers cast out demons
Not pray against demons.

Who made you a judge over right or wrong prayers ?

You have the options to pray the way you like , and the God who answers prayers knows whether to answer it or not.

Yes God may choose a way He wants to do something. But God would never choose a way that will contradict His own standard. The God's standard is that an innocent and righteous human being must NOT be killed deliberately ( Exodus 20:18). The same God would not contradict Himself by saying an innocent and righteous human being must be deliberately killed on the cross before we can gain eternal life

Isaiah 53 is completely nullified by Ezekiel 18:20-22 that says;
"The righteousness of the righteous shall be upon
himself, and the wickedness of the wicked shall
be upon himself. But if a wicked man TURNS (i:e
REPENTS) from all his sins which he has
committed, keeps all My statutes, and does what
is lawful and right, he shall surely live; he shall
not die. NONE OF THE TRANSGRESSIONS which
he has committed shall be remembered against
him; Because of the RIGHTEOUSNESS which he
has done, HE SHALL LIVE.

It is now left for you to decide which one is wrong and which one is correct.

But it is very clear that Ezekiel 18 is far far more reasonable than Isaiah 53

Non of the scriptures is wrong , you are the one that is wrong in your interpretations of the scriptures to suit your arguments.

There are two stages of death. The first death , which everyone would experience when one dies , and the second death which shall come after judgement of God.

If those people who came b4 Jesus Christ followed the laws and statutes according Ezekiel , they shall HAVE GRACE TO HEAR THE VOICE OF JESUS AFTER HIS DEATH :

John 5:28-29 KJV
Marvel not at this: for the hour is coming, in the which all that are in the graves shall hear his voice,
[29] And shall come forth; they that have done good, unto the resurrection of life; and they that have done evil, unto the resurrection of damnation.

Jesus said :

John 5:39-40,45-47 KJV

(39) Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have
ETERNAL life: and they are they which testify of ME.
[40] And ye will not come to me, that ye might have life.
[45] Do not think that I will accuse you to the Father: there is one that accuseth you, even Moses, in whom ye trust.
[46] For had ye believed Moses, ye would have believed me: for he wrote of ME.
[47] But if ye believe not his writings, how shall ye believe my words?

Abdulgaffar22:
Those people that the prophet of Islam were commanded to kill in the battle are NOT innocent.
They are guilty in the sense that they REFUSE to accept to Islam. The same command was also given in the Bible;
"All that would not seek the LORD, the God of Israel, were to be PUT TO DEATH, whether small or great, man or woman (2nd Chronicles15:13).

Pls go and read your Bible very well and stop using what was practiced in the Bible to falsify Islamic rulings that even forbid the killing of women and children.
Let me repeat myself; It is clear that Exodus 20:13 ONLY forbid the killing of an INNOCENT AND RIGHTEOUS SOUL; Not the killing of people that really deserved it.
My point is this: If Jesus is an innocent and righteous soul, then it is CONTRADICTORY to the way of God to REQUEST FOR JESUS' DEATH ON THE CROSS. God Almighty who says " an innocent and righteous soul MUST NOT BE DELIBERATELY KILLED " would not later contradict Himself by saying " an innocent and righteous soul MUST BE DELIBERATELY KILLED" on the cross before we can be saved.
If Jesus crucifixion is the only way to salvation, then those who crucified Jesus allegedly really deserved our kudos and honor. But does it make any sense at all to give kudos and honor to the murderers of an innocent and righteous soul ?

Did Muhammad not kill the Jews who had the law of Moses and obeyed the old testament sacrifices of atonement ?
Were they sinners because they did not accept Islam ?

What standard did Muhammad use to differentiate sinners when he attacked a whole village ?

Volume 2, Book 14, Number 68:
Sahih Bukhari :
Narrated Anas bin Malik:

Allah's Apostle (p.b.u.h) offered the Fajr prayer when it was still dark, then he rode and said, 'Allah Akbar! Khaibar is ruined. When we approach near to a nation, the most unfortunate is the morning of those who have been warned." The people came out into the streets saying, "Muhammad and his army." Allah's Apostle vanquished them by force and their warriors were killed; the children and women were taken as captives. Safiya was taken by Dihya Al-Kalbi and later she belonged to Allah's Apostle go who married her and her Mahr was her manumission.

You lack so much knowledge in the things of God and spiritual things , if not you would have known that Muhammad was an AGENT OF THE DEVIL who could do anything for sex :

Allah SWT says:

وَإِذْ تَقُولُ لِلَّذِىٓ أَنْعَمَ اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَأَنْعَمْتَ عَلَيْهِ أَمْسِكْ عَلَيْكَ زَوْجَكَ وَاتَّقِ اللَّهَ وَتُخْفِى فِى نَفْسِكَ مَا اللَّهُ مُبْدِيهِ وَتَخْشَى النَّاسَ وَاللَّهُ أَحَقُّ أَنْ تَخْشٰىهُ ۖ فَلَمَّا قَضٰى زَيْدٌ مِّنْهَا وَطَرًا زَوَّجْنٰكَهَا لِكَىْ لَا يَكُونَ عَلَى الْمُؤْمِنِينَ حَرَجٌ فِىٓ أَزْوٰجِ أَدْعِيَآئِهِمْ إِذَا قَضَوْا مِنْهُنَّ وَطَرًا ۚ وَكَانَ أَمْرُ اللَّهِ مَفْعُولًا
"And [remember, O Muhammad], when you said to the one on whom Allah bestowed favor and you bestowed favor, "Keep your wife and fear Allah," while you concealed within yourself that which Allah is to disclose. And you feared the people, while Allah has more right that you fear Him. So when Zayd had no longer any need for her, We married her to you in order that there not be upon the believers any discomfort concerning the wives of their adopted sons when they no longer have need of them. And ever is the command of Allah accomplished."
(QS. Al-Ahzaab: Verse 37)

* Via the Beautiful Qur'an https:///QLwc8B

It is because you are far from God , that is why you cannot see the idolatry in bowing to the idol inside the kabaah five times a day to worship it.

Islam is pure satanic and will lead you to hell if you don't leave it and embrace Christianity .

Op, you are confused .

How can you say , "God cannot kill innocent soul to atone for another soul ", and at the same time asking us to embrace Islam which started by killing innocent souls and is , presently, doing so world wide?

Is is not funny and more evil not to accept the death of Jesus but to follow the way of Muhammad the terrorist ?

Volume 4, Book 52, Number 159:
Sahih Bukhari :
Narrated Sahl:

That he was asked about the wound of the Prophet on the day (of the battle) of Uhud. He said, "The face of the Prophet as wounded and one of his front teeth as broken and the helmet over his head was smashed. Fatima washed of the blood while Ali held water. When she saw that bleeding was increasing continuously, she burnt a mat (of date-palm leaves) till it turned into ashes which she put over the wound and thus the bleeding ceased."

Presently , Christianity is teaching love and peace , but Islam is teaching hatred and murder .

Which one is doing the will of God between the two ?

Judge for yourself .

Volume 1, Book 11, Number 578:
Sahih Bukhari :
Narrated Ibn 'Umar:

When the Muslims arrived at Medina, they used to assemble for the prayer, and used to guess the time for it. During those days, the practice of Adhan for the prayers had not been introduced yet. Once they discussed this problem regarding the call for prayer. Some people suggested the use of a bell like the Christians, others proposed a trumpet like the horn used by the Jews, but 'Umar was the first to suggest that a man should call (the people) for the prayer; so Allah's Apostle ordered Bilal to get up and pronounce the Adhan for prayers.

Wolexdey:
Gen 9:11-17, in the Scriptures tells about GOD covenant related to the rainbow. Will love to know what Islam says about this.
Thanks!

Muhammad did not remember to copy that from the Bible.

PastorDavidAwuj:
Q: Does God curse people?

A: God is not the author of the curse or anything to the curse, such as sickness, poverty and death (John 10:10).

According to Genesis 8:22, God established the law of seedtime and harvest. This law is also referred to as sowing (choosing an action) and reaping (the results of an action).

Therefore, when we choose to do wrong, we should expect negative consequences.

Galatians 6:7-9 says, “ Don’t be misled—you cannot mock the justice of God.

You will always harvest what you plant. Those who live only to satisfy their own sinful nature will harvest decay and death from that sinful nature.

But those who live to please the Spirit will harvest everlasting life from the Spirit. So let’s not get tired of doing what is good.

At just the right time we will reap a harvest of blessing if we don’t give up.”

The source of a cursed life is sin, and the source of sin is the devil—not God.

Nothing about living a cursed life is willed by God, because His will is clearly revealed through Jesus.

Here’s the true picture of the source of sin and the curse: “But when people keep on sinning, it shows that they belong to the devil, who has been sinning since the beginning.

But the Son of God came to destroy the works of the devil” (1 John 3:8 ). God’s intention through Jesus is to free people from sin and the curse!

Ephesians 4:27 tells us to not give place to the devil, and disobeying God is one way a Christian can give place to him.

Disobedience opens doors to everything from sickness and disease to destruction and death (Romans 6:23).

So, one of the keys to keeping Satan and his destruction out of our lives is for us to obey God (1 John 5:18).

That’s not to say walking in obedience is always easy. It’s not. But we can receive God’s grace to empower us to live above the plans of the enemy.

And, when we do sin, it is important for us to understand that Jesus is available—and ready—to forgive us and cleanse us of our sin.

All we have to do is ask Him to cleanse us, and then receive it (1 John 1:5-10).

Always remember that we serve a good God who looks for ways to bless and not curse us (Psalm 35:27; Proverbs 10:22; Ezekiel 33:11)!

The boy has covenant with water spirits . He needs to pray and break the covenant.

Keep your hadith to your Islamic section and stop trespassing.

That is where he belongs and not to the body of Christ.

It is becoming glaring that Dondy freeze It is becoming glaring that Dummy freeze is a satanic agent.

I have watched all those mt zoin films. Aside from mtzion films which other ones can you recommend ?

These ones are equally very very good :

Les Miserables.
Sheffey ( based on true story )
TRASH
The Green Mile.
Queen of Katwe.

The first two are christian movies and very good , but the others are decent films about morals , cares and feelings for others.

They are worthy

Have you watched "Hacksaw Ridge" ?

Seun:
These days it is mostly it's to back up my points when I engage in discussions about religion. A good understanding of the bible is very useful.

But that is very wrong. It would be better for you to read it in order to know the truth than for the sake of argument.

Read and compare it with the Quran with an open mind , that will save you from falling into the trap of the devil.

TATIME:
If you're truthfully searching for the wisdom from above, just humble yourself and study the Bible with JWs.
It won't cost you anything but if you're the type that's feeling to big to sit down and study with the vilified religious group then you're on your own. There's nothing as in NOTHING you can gain regarding the truth on social media, the end is fast approaching so find the JWs and study the Bible with them. God bless you!

If actually the JW knew what is written in the Bible , they would have predicted the end of the world at all .
They predicted it more than 3 times and failed , why should any serious christian follow such organisation?

lightblazingnow:
Unscriptural men keep telling you that you need to be delivered, the more you get delivered, the more you will need to be delivered again, why not just listen to God Almighty. If you truly want to worship God Almighty, and you really want to do it the Bible way, then you must learn to hear Jesus Christ of the Bible.

He's the word from the beginning who came to earth to show us the way to the father God Almighty, after he died and was raised by the glory of God Almighty, that's the Holy Spirit, he anointed men and women to carry on from where he stopped. These holy men and women did not fail in their duties of preservation of a holy book which is very clear about everything, Christian needs to do.

Look at this passage of the Bible about deliverance:

Colossians 1:12 Giving thanks unto the Father, which has made us meet to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light: 1:13 Who have delivered us from the power of darkness, and have translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son:

Great words, would you rather believe this, or you will keep believing your dreams and visions, don't just be carried about by every wind of doctrines of men, but be rooted and grounded in the word of the living God Almighty. You have been delivered, whatever you see in your dreams isn't true. It's like watching a horror movie and seized with fears. Come out among them, you are delivered because you are a believer.

If you are not a believer then you are still in your sins and held into darkness by the power of Satan.

Can you explain what deliverance is ?

If you don't explain what deliverance is , it means you are being used by the devil and you need deliverance .

mukhcech:
Please stop opening thread of ignorance.

There are many false gods claiming to be the creator of the heaven, earth and every living creature . The question we need to ask ourselves is ," how authentic / valid is their claims and which one among them is the true God "?

There are so many reasons why Allah cannot be the true God :

It is the name of the god used by the idol worshippers b4 Islam came .

He is worshipped the same way the pagans worshipped their gods in Saudi Arabia b4 the advent of Islam.

He could not show any supernatural power for healings , miracles , signs and wonders.

His name is different from the name of the God of the Israelites that divided the Red Sea.

The image of the moon and the star mounted on the mosques tops and in the flags of the Muslim nations is a pointer to the fact that Allah is moon god.

Deuteronomy 4:16-19 KJV
Lest ye corrupt yourselves , and make you a graven image, the similitude of any figure, the likeness of male or female,
[17] The likeness of any beast that is on the earth, the likeness of any winged fowl that flieth in the air,
[18] The likeness of any thing that creepeth on the ground, the likeness of any fish that is in the waters beneath the earth:
[19] And lest thou lift up thine eyes unto heaven, and when thou seest the SUN, and the MOON, and the STARS, even all the host of heaven, shouldest be driven to worship them, and serve them, which the Lord thy God hath divided unto all nations under the whole heaven.

jesusjnr:
Jesus said: "Whosoever putteth
away his wife, and
marrieth another,
committeth adultery:
and whosoever
marrieth her that is put away from her husband committeth
adultery." Lk 16:18.(KJV). This was his amendment of that sexist and anti-women law in the law of Moses about divorce that gave a man the right to put away his wife for every cause, and it could be observed the glaring difference between the both of them, as while that of the law of Moses was heavily tilted in favor of the men, that of Jesus was more balanced for the both sexes to address that injustice. Hence Jesus showed that one of his purposes of coming to the earth was to fight against such weapons of injustice and oppression that are formed especially by men against the women.

Was Moses the maker of the law?

Right from the old testament God hates divorce . The reason being that it breads lack of love , perseverance and encourages adultery on the part of the man and the woman.
Divorced woman were given opportunity to marry again :

John 4:17-18 KJV
The woman answered and said, I have no husband. Jesus said unto her, Thou hast well said, I have no husband:
[18] For thou hast had five husbands; and he whom thou now hast is not thy husband: in that saidst thou truly.

If you feel it is unfair for Paul to say women should be silent in the church , then you will have to rewrite the whole Bible .
I know you will soon discover that Adam and Eve were created at the same time , but the Bible failed to record this due to the unfair treatment of women folks .

Jesus could have change this unfair treatment by selecting at least 2 women to be named among his 12 disciples if it was an unfair treatment .

It is not about Paul , it is the God's rule and commandment :
Genesis 3:16 KJV
Unto the woman he said, I will greatly multiply thy sorrow and thy conception; in sorrow thou shalt bring forth children; and thy desire shall be to thy husband, and he shall RULE over thee.

jesusjnr:
But the misconception of that very saying of Paul concerning women as the word of God by many of those in the church, is so unwarranted and should never have arisen in the first place, had it been subjected to the test of the teachings and ways of the master Jesus, for it would have never had a chance a scaling through it. For Jesus himself who founded the church had shown himself to be an exception to the usual order of men in both in words and in deeds and undoubtedly the greatest ever champion against the oppression and injustices meted to women, especially by their largely sexist male counterparts. And i'd already given the example of the woman brought to him by the pharisees with respect to allegations of adultery, who Jesus rescued from the hands of the predators(Jn 8:1-11), and also the instance of the law of Moses about divorce which was apparently very sexist and anti-women in nature, which Jesus amended to address whatever injustices that was being perpetrated on the basis of that law against women

Which among the twelve disciples of Jesus was a woman ?

Is that not injustice against women also ?

Op, I had a similar issue with the RCCG in 2012 .

Your lawyer has been bribed or something , which was what happened in my situation .

Take them to a Lagos State Mediation centre for a faster justice at no cost .

You must also pray and fast .

I also wrote their General overseer and mummy G.O.with a copy sent to their Head Quarter at Ebute Meta and personally delivered to them myself .

I cannot disclose all the steps I took , but if you need my advice , let me know.

Seun:
Apologies for being lazy. Yes, it was an altar, and there is no explicit mention of a statue. So some of the Athenians were worshipping an unknown God and Paul incorporated the unknown God into his gospel message, implying that the unknown God they were worshiping was the same as the God of Christianity. This made it easier for them to accept the gospel. Is that a fair interpretation?



Another lazy mistake, which I apologize for. What I meant to imply is that the ancestors of the Jews (Hebrews and/or Israelites) were polytheistic, and elements of their beliefs were incorporated into Judaism. Is this something that we can agree on?

If you look at deliverance ministries in Nigeria, they have incorporated traditional beliefs about “marine spirits”, “spiritual spouses”, etc into their flavor of the gospel. This happens all the time in religion.

Agreed. That’s not what I was trying to say. It didn’t come out right.

By the way, Yahweh is more similar to Allah than to the Christian God. Yahweh is one. Allah is one. The Christian God is 3. The Muslims probably got the idea of the one God from Jews. Religions have always borrowed popular ideas from each other and continue to do so.

Where do you think the Christian practice of speaking in tongues came from? Certainly not Jesus, who said “do not babble like the pagans”

The devil is not foolish , he paints black white and white to be black. It is left for the wise to find his way .

The Original is always before the fake. Islam is a fake. The devil used Muhammad to create Islam , nothing more nothing less.

When GBENGA Adeboye the comedian died , he was sent back to life with a message that Christianity is the way , but majority could not decode his message .

The book of Revelation in the Bible was written about 2000 years ago when there was no Banking system . It says in :

Revelation 13:16-17 KJV
And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads:
[17] And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.

This was a message b4 the advent of computer and before the discovery of finger print and the retina as the best form of biometrics. Either of the two would be where the computer chips would be implanted in the human body. For example the Obama health care bill stipulated that recipients of the facility would be implanted with the chips in their forehead of in their palms. That is a test run.
Gradually the world is moving into the era of a cashless system and ATM cards would soon be discarded and people will be implanted with those chips that will be a mark of the beast , without which they will not have access to their funds or money.
This is unfolding in this generation and the ignorant majority will call it "technology" .
The Bible warned us to beware.

Also , the God that could divided a sea for hours to make a way of escape for the Israelites is a God indeed :

Exodus 14:13-16,21,29-31 KJV
And Moses said unto the people, Fear ye not, stand still, and see the salvation of the Lord , which he will shew to you to day: for the Egyptians whom ye have seen to day, ye shall see them again no more for ever. [14] The Lord shall fight for you, and ye shall hold your peace. [15] And the Lord said unto Moses, Wherefore criest thou unto me? speak unto the children of Israel, that they go forward: [16] But lift thou up thy rod, and stretch out thine hand over the sea, and divide it: and the children of Israel shall go on dry ground through the midst of the sea. [21] And Moses stretched out his hand over the sea; and the Lord caused the sea to go back by a strong east wind all that night, and made the sea dry land , and the waters were divided. [29] But the children of Israel walked upon dry land in the midst of the sea; and the waters were a wall unto them on their right hand, and on their left. [30] Thus the Lord saved Israel that day out of the hand of the Egyptians; and Israel saw the Egyptians dead upon the sea shore. [31] And Israel saw that great work which the Lord did upon the Egyptians: and the people feared the Lord , and believed the Lord , and his servant Moses.

DON'T BE DECEIVED , ISLAM IS FALSE AND THE ALLAH IS NOT DIFFERENT FROM THE GODDESS ALLAT IN SAUDI ARABIA .

Ihedinobi3:
God honors His Word above His Name. That means that it is impossible for the Lord to violate His Own Word. He said through Paul that women should not hold authority over men because Eve was deceived and not Adam. That does not mean that a woman cannot reach fellow women. But it is only men to whom God gives the gift of teaching the Church. That has not changed.

Yes , God honors His words , but at times , God can decide not to honor some of His words depending on the situations .

For examples :

GOD WORD WAS THAT HEZEKIAH SHALL DIE , BUT GOD DECIDED NOT TO HONOR THAT WORD .

Isaiah 38:1-5 KJV
In those days was Hezekiah sick unto death. And Isaiah the prophet the son of Amoz came unto him, and said unto him, Thus saith the Lord , Set thine house in order: for thou shalt die, and not live.
[2] Then Hezekiah turned his face toward the wall, and prayed unto the Lord ,
[3] And said, Remember now, O Lord , I beseech thee, how I have walked before thee in truth and with a perfect heart, and have done that which is good in thy sight. And Hezekiah wept sore.
[4] Then came the word of the Lord to Isaiah, saying,
[5] Go, and say to Hezekiah, Thus saith the Lord , the God of David thy father, I have heard thy prayer, I have seen thy tears: behold, I will add unto thy days fifteen years.

DEBORAH WAS A JUDGE AND A RULER OVER MEN IN ISRAEL AND GOD WAS WITH HER :

DEBORAH
Judges 4:4 KJV
And Deborah, a prophetess, the wife of Lapidoth, she judged Israel at that time.

WHAT ABOUT A WIDOW WHO SERVED THE LORD IN THE SYNAGOGUE :

Luke 2:36-38 KJV
And there was one Anna, a prophetess, the daughter of Phanuel, of the tribe of Aser: she was of a great age, and had lived with an husband seven years from her virginity;
[37] And she was a widow of about fourscore and four years, which departed not from the temple, but served God with fastings and prayers night and day.
[38] And she coming in that instant gave thanks likewise unto the Lord, and spake of him to all them that looked for redemption in Jerusalem.

God can decide to use anyone as long as the person is cable and able. Based on this , most men are more capable are available , which makes the scriptures correct and intact.

tartar9:

Listed are only events that solely occurred on command of church authorities
or were committed in the name of Christianity. (List incomplete)
Ancient Pagans
As soon as Christianity was legal (315), more and more pagan temples were
destroyed by Christian mob. Pagan priests were killed.
Between 315 and 6th century thousands of pagan believers were slain.
Examples of destroyed Temples: the Sanctuary of Aesculap in Aegaea, the
Temple of Aphrodite in Golgatha, Aphaka in Lebanon, the Heliopolis.
Christian priests such as Mark of Arethusa or Cyrill of Heliopolis were famous
as "temple destroyer." [DA468]
Pagan services became punishable by death in 356. [DA468]
Christian Emperor Theodosius (408-450) even had children executed, because
they had been playing with remains of pagan statues. [DA469]
According to Christian chroniclers he "followed meticulously all Christian
teachings..."
In 6th century pagans were declared void of all rights.
In the early fourth century the philosopher Sopatros was executed on demand
of Christian authorities. [DA466]
The world famous female philosopher Hypatia of Alexandria was torn to pieces
with glass fragments by a hysterical Christian mob led by a Christian minister
named Peter, in a church, in 415.
[DO19-25]
Mission
Emperor Karl (Charlemagne) in 782 had 4500 Saxons, unwilling to convert to
Christianity, beheaded. [DO30]

15th century Poland: 1019 churches and 17987 villages plundered by Knights
of the Order. Victims unknown. [DO30]
16th and 17th century Ireland. English troops "pacified and civilized" Ireland,
where only Gaelic "wild Irish", "unreasonable beasts lived without any
knowledge of God or good manners, in common of their goods, cattle, women,
children and every other thing." One of the more successful soldiers, a certain
Humphrey Gilbert, half-brother of Sir Walter Raleigh, ordered that "the heddes
of all those (of what sort soever thei were) which were killed in the daie,
should be cutte off from their bodies... and should bee laied on the ground by
eche side of the waie", which effort to civilize the Irish indeed caused "greate
terrour to the people when thei sawe the heddes of their dedde fathers,
brothers, children, kinsfolke, and freinds on the grounde".
Tens of thousands of Gaelic Irish fell victim to the carnage. [SH99, 225]

Until Jan 1098 a total of 40 capital cities and 200 castles conquered (number
of slain unknown) [WW30]
after 6/3/98 Antiochia (then turkish) conquered, between 10,000 and 60,000
slain. 6/28/98 100,000 Turks (incl. women & children) killed. [WW32-35]
Here the Christians "did no other harm to the women found in [the enemy's]
tents—save that they ran their lances through their bellies," according to
Christian chronicler Fulcher of Chartres. [EC60]
Marra (Maraat an-numan) 12/11/98 thousands killed. Because of the
subsequent famine "the already stinking corpses of the enemies were eaten by
the Christians" said chronicler Albert Aquensis. [WW36]
Jerusalem conquered 7/15/1099 more than 60,000 victims (jewish, muslim,
men, women, children). [WW37-40]
(In the words of one witness: "there [in front of Solomon's temple] was such a
carnage that our people were wading ankle-deep in the blood of our foes", and
after that "happily and crying for joy our people marched to our Saviour's
tomb, to honour it and to pay off our debt of gratitude"
The Archbishop of Tyre, eye-witness, wrote: "It was impossible to look upon
the vast numbers of the slain without horror; everywhere lay fragments of
human bodies, and the very ground was covered with the blood of the slain. It
was not alone the spectacle of headless bodies and mutilated limbs strewn in
all directions that roused the horror of all who looked upon them. Still more
dreadful was it to gaze upon the victors themselves, dripping with blood from
head to foot, an ominous sight which brought terror to all who met them. It is
reported that within the Temple enclosure alone about ten thousand infidels
perished." [TG79]
Christian chronicler Eckehard of Aura noted that "even the following summer in
all of palestine the air was polluted by the stench of decomposition". One
million victims of the first crusade alone. [WW41]
Battle of Askalon, 8/12/1099. 200,000 heathens slaughtered "in the name of
Our Lord Jesus Christ". [WW45]
Fourth crusade: 4/12/1204 Constantinople sacked, number of victims
unknown, numerous thousands, many of them Christian. [WW141-148]
Rest of Crusades in less detail: until the fall of Akkon 1291 probably 20 million
victims (in the Holy land and Arab/Turkish areas alone). [WW224]
Note: All figures according to contemporary (Christian) chroniclers.
Heretics
Already in 385 C.E. the first Christians, the Spanish Priscillianus and six
followers, were beheaded for heresy in Trier/Germany [DO26]
Manichaean heresy: a crypto-Christian sect decent enough to practice birth
control (and thus not as irresponsible as faithful Catholics) was exterminated
in huge campaigns all over the Roman empire between 372 C.E. and 444 C.E.
Numerous thousands of victims. [NC]
Albigensians: the first Crusade intended to slay other Christians. [DO29]
The Albigensians...viewed themselves as good Christians, but would not
accept roman Catholic rule, and taxes, and prohibition of birth control. [NC]
Begin of violence: on command of pope Innocent III (greatest single pre-nazi
mass murderer) in 1209. Bezirs (today France) 7/22/1209 destroyed, all the
inhabitants were slaughtered. Victims (including Catholics refusing to turn over
their heretic neighbours and friends) 20,000-70,000. [WW179-181]
Carcassonne 8/15/1209, thousands slain. Other cities followed. [WW181]
subsequent 20 years of war until nearly all Cathars (probably half the
population of the Languedoc, today southern France) were exterminated.
[WW183]
After the war ended (1229) the Inquisition was founded 1232 to search and
destroy surviving/hiding heretics. Last Cathars burned at the stake 1324.
[WW183]
Estimated one million victims (cathar heresy alone), [WW183]
Other heresies: Waldensians, Paulikians, Runcarians, Josephites, and many
others. Most of these sects exterminated, (I believe some Waldensians live
today, yet they had to endure 600 years of persecution) I estimate at least
hundred thousand victims (including the Spanish inquisition but excluding
victims in the New World).
Spanish Inquisitor Torquemada alone allegedly responsible for 10,220
burnings. [DO28]
John Huss, a critic of papal infallibility and indulgences, was burned at the
stake in 1415. [LI475-522]
University professor B.Hubmaier burned at the stake 1538 in Vienna. [DO59]
Giordano Bruno, Dominican monk, after having been incarcerated for seven
years, was burned at the stake for heresy on the Campo dei Fiori (Rome) on
2/17/1600.
Witches
from the beginning of Christianity to 1484 probably more than several
thousand.
in the era of witch hunting (1484-1750) according to modern scholars several
hundred thousand (about 80% female) burned at the stake or hanged. [WV]
incomplete list of documented cases:
The Burning of Witches - A Chronicle of the Burning Times
Religious Wars
15th century: Crusades against Hussites, thousands slain. [DO30]
1538 pope Paul III declared Crusade against apostate England and all English
as slaves of Church (fortunately had not power to go into action). [DO31]
1568 Spanish Inquisition Tribunal ordered extermination of 3 million rebels in
(then Spanish) Netherlands. Thousands were actually slain. [DO31]
1572 In France about 20,000 Huguenots were killed on command of pope Pius
V. Until 17th century 200,000 flee. [DO31]
17th century: Catholics slay Gaspard de Coligny, a Protestant leader. After
murdering him, the Catholic mob mutilated his body, "cutting off his head, his
hands, and his genitals... and then dumped him into the river [...but] then,
deciding that it was not worthy of being food for the fish, they hauled it out
again [... and] dragged what was left ... to the gallows of Montfaulcon, 'to be
meat and carrion for maggots and crows'." [SH191]
17th century: Catholics sack the city of Magdeburg/Germany: roughly 30,000
Protestants were slain. "In a single church fifty women were found beheaded,"
reported poet Friedrich Schiller, "and infants still sucking the breasts of their
lifeless mothers." [SH19
17th century 30 years' war (Catholic vs. Protestant): at least 40% of population
decimated, mostly in Germany. [DO31-32]

Tartar means a "baby " in Igbo language . That is , your moniker is actually affecting you.

iamgenius:
And so? What's your problem?

My problem is that you are in a WRONG religion and you don't know .

budaatum:
Atheist? Muslims? Jehova Witnesses? Catholics?

The above are not to be prayed against but prayed for, because they need Divine interventions .
Some of them are even , character wise , better of than some christian, but unfortunately they will end in hell.

Xavier5:
NO.
But I have a question for you?

Does it mean because JESUS choosed men to be HIS 12 disciples means that only men are ordained to be pastors?

#Xavier.

God can decide to call a woman to pastor a church if there are no men capable or willing to carry out the assignment .

I think a woman who should go for such assignment , in my opinion :

Must have gotten consent of the husband .
Must not be a nursing mother .
Must not neglect or deligate her responsibilities at home as a wife .
Must be filled with Holy Spirit.
Must be matured in age.
Can be a widow who has dedicated her life totally to the work of God.


That is what I think , but God knows it all and why women are now becoming Pastors and church leaders contrary to the scriptures.

CONTINUATION

Another instance is in 2 Timothy 4:14 (KJV);

"Alexander the coppersmith did me much evil: the Lord reward him according to his works:"

The above scripture is all about Paul the Apostle writing to Timothy his son in the LORD. In the scripture, Paul told Timothy about the evil or wicked or unfair actions of Alexander the coppersmith towards him. Now look at Paul's statement, Paul prayed that Alexander should be rewarded according to his works which means he prayed against Alexander. Now does it mean, Paul committed Sin by praying against Alexander rather than praying for him as commanded?

JESUS, when HE was on Earth didn't destroy his enemies or prayed against them rather HE did the opposite. An instance could be seen in Luke 9:51-56 when JESUS cautioned the James and John when they urged HIM (JESUS) to send down fire from heaven to consume the Samaritans because they refused them passage through their Land. BUT The HOLY SPIRIT Slaughtered Ananias and Sapphira just for Lying. Acts 5:1-11. This is getting complicated. Does that mean the HOLY SPIRIT committed SIN by doing what HE did. That's for you to ponder on.

So in Essence all I'm trying to say is according to the above facts, it is not a SIN neither is it WRONG for a Christian to pray against his or her enemy and also it is not also a SIN neither is it WRONG for a Christian to pray for his or her enemy. The choice is for every Christian to choose the way he or she wants to pray when it comes to Enemy issues.
As a matter of fact, Christians should do both depending on the scenario. There are times and scenarios when Christians should pray for their enemies and there are times and scenarios when they should pray against their enemies. That's what I do. There are times and scenarios when I pray for my enemies and There are times and scenarios when I pray against my enemies.

In Conclusion, it is not a Sin neither is it Wrong for a Christian to pray against his or her enemy and also it is not also a Sin neither is it Wrong for a Christian to pray for his or her enemy.

Thank You, Namastey.

THE END.

We don't pray against our neighbours who are our carnal enemies but against spiritual enemies who are agents of darkness , like witches , wizards , satanists , demons, principalities etc.

Mirriamvic:
TOTALY WRONG I DISLIKE IT . IT IS BORN OUT OF MAN'S WICKEDNESS

Is the enemy they pray against loving or wicked ?

Praying against wicked souls is not wickedness .

Apostasy law doesn't exist in d Qur'an

But it exists in the hadith :

Volume 9, Book 83, Number 17:
Sahih Bukhari :
Narrated 'Abdullah:

Allah's Apostle said, "The blood of a Muslim who confesses that none has the right to be worshipped but Allah and that I am His Apostle, cannot be shed except in three cases: In Qisas for murder, a married person who commits illegal sexual intercourse and the one who reverts from Islam (apostate) and leaves the Muslims."
