Ishilove: Being a Christain is by choice, if someone decides to follow Christ then he/she should abide by the teachings and principles of Christianity - not advocating violence and revenge. |

iamsamadeyinka: I can tell from what you have written that you are one of his followers that were cheering Pastor Johnson while he was making those outrageous comments. I don't claim to be great. If Pastor Johnson is great, and that is the kind of greatness that you wish for yourself that's fine, but to me, he isn't a great man. A great man once said " You will achieve more in the world through act of mercy than you would through act of retribution " - Nelson Mandela. One of the problems with followers of men (as oppose to followers of Christ) is that they do not see anything wrong with the person that they are following even when it is bleeding obvious that the person that they are following is wrong |

Hello All, Really interesting views from all. Lest we forget, being a Christain is not by force. If you want to be a Christain you should be ready to follow the teaching of Christ. Christ teaches us to turn the other Cheek while other religions proclaim an "eye fo an eye" "if it was Jesus, what will he do (or in this case what will he tell his followers to do)? |

Hello All, Perhaps Pastor Johnson Suleman doesn’t understand what it takes to be a Christian; in its simplest form, Christian means “Christ-like”. I was livid when I saw this clip https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CuIoq9dnsTA not only because Pastor Johnson Suleman is promoting violent from his pulpit, misrepresenting Christianity, but also because of his general low reasoning level. Contrary to what the Christ taught his followers (pray for those who persecute you, hate you, turn the other cheek, forgive they neighbor etc), Pastor Johnson Suleman openly urge members of his congregation to kill Fulani herdsmen that he claimed were sent to kill him. Citing David versus Goliath as a basis of killing shows Pastor Johnson’s ignorance and lack of theological grasp of the Bible According to Pastor Johnson Suleman, his friend told him that Fulani herdsmen were after him; if this information is so authentic why not take it to the authority? I know what a lot of people will be saying here - Nigeria police won’t do anything – so let me cut Pastor Johnson Suleman lack with regards to my above question. This brings me to my second question, why did Pastor Johnson Suleman not take this issue to God in prayer instead of telling his Church members to attacked Fulani Herdsmen that come close to his church? As we Christians go about our daily endeavor, what makes us Christian is our answers and action to this question – “If it was Jesus Christ, what will he do?”. Even on the cross Jesus said “father forgive them for they know not what they do” |
