I never question God... But as a worshiper, I think I am entitle to a right to being curios to know what seems not understandable...

You are economical with the truth, you may be a worshiper but definitely not a Christian worshiper. However, if you are, this is the wrong place to ask your questions. Call your pastor and talk to him and if that isn't enough, go to any Bible College around you and ask question. Better yet, ask God to open your mind.

I have heard many cases of God's word preachers who have been killed, slaughtered and brutally mutilated while preaching or on other duties in respect to biblical God's commandment. Many were burnt alive while withing the church premises praying and praising God, many captured and were easily slaughtered, many were captured within their own house, raped and eventually killed and many more cases like that.

Seriously, all these occurrences left me with one critical question that has been dominating my mind for years, that why would God keep silent while such horrific murder is being unleashed on his consistent servant ? Why can't God, weather spiritually or physically, prevent such tragedy, to at least encourage other worshipers and consolidate the believe that God is truly mighty as it is being claimed. Preventing such tragedy, to me, has the efficacy of preventing many people from waking up one day and start thinking at all weather God exist or not.
Should we say our so called popular pastors, knows that there is no divine assistance they can enjoy while facing assassinating temptation and that is why most of them move all around with sophisticated security outfit...

I beg, rational whosiper should come to my rescue in answering this question ooo...

The disciples were also crucified and God did nothing about it. God created us to dominate the earth and make our own very decisions. Don't you know it can alter timeliness?? I mean such stuff have already been prophecied and they have to come to pass

That's the same questions I started asking my self some times back. Bokoharam will enter a church (house of God) and kill innocent lives worshiping God, and that God is there folding his arms?... I dey laugh.

Human beings never will to sacrifice anything...a suicide bomber will willingly strap on bombs and kill just because he believes it is right,we as christians should be willing to die doing the right thing,many of Jesus Christ's disciple were persecuted.My prayer for myself and everybody here is that we die doing the right thing,remember that ALL men will be rewarded....GOOD Or BAD.

nice try.

there is no mention of immediately there.

the context signifies a peaceful death. which is nothing short of what a God that actually cared would do.

even so, there are many cases where the christian is not immediately killed, but rather subjected to all sorts of torture, day in day out. and God refuses to do anything. in many cases, a family is destroyed, parents killed, children displaced, God's refuses to bat the slightest of eyelids. How does that confirm his claim that no evil will befall them?

remember, this is not even a case of dying. this is a case of being trapped on this earth, in torture. I know what you will say, they should flee, but the guy promised to keep them safe nah. can't you see the blatant contradiction here?
my guy no dey argue like ****** . God is God and he can never change. God no be superhero. the bible says he works in mysterious ways. if u don't believe in him fine. but i pity you. when e say protect he no mean say he go carry em hand carry u comot for where them wan kill u. there are cases where people who don't believe in God suddenly turned born again without going to church. I'm sure God will touch u one day. note: he didn't say if u turn born again nobody can harm you. yes someone can harm ur body but not your soul even jesus died(before his time) . the body is just full of organs nothing else. why do u think there is Good And Bad.. who told you that some pastors are not real. think my broda i cant start quoting bible . coz i see u don't understand it. even some pastors dont understand it na u wan come understand am. . think. no just dey write anyhow
Re: But Why Would God Allow Someone To Be Killed While Preaching His Words ? by Nobody: 4:52pm On Jul 11, 2016

take a look at Matt 24;9

If we fear death while we preach it means we do not believe what we preach. Because we believe in life after death and dying for the gospel of Christ is a blessing.
All the 11 disciples of Christ were brutally murdered except John the beloved.
It is of the things every true child of GOD should expect.

My brother, fine u are a christian but some of our popular pastors are more christian than you do ( my thinking though )... if it is a normal thing that being a christian should be accompanied by being fearless to death, while pursuing d course of christianity, why our so called pastors do use sophisticated security to prevent attack ?

The man is dead when he thinks that the word of God is a disturbance. @Ibime, since you don't want hear the word of God from this woman and even wish her death, you will soon hear from armed robbers after which you will compare hearing from the messengers of God and that of Satan.

I'm sorry, but she actually has a very bad understanding of what is going on.

freewill has limits. specifically when actions taken under free will infringes on the free will of other people. at that point, it becomes a case of which action should be permitted. freewill is now out of the equation.

most humans do not want to be burnt alive. when someone tries to burn them alive, that person is infringing on their free will to NOT be burnt alive. at that point, it becomes a battle of which action should be allowed to pass. if the immoral action of burning someone is allowed instead of the moral action of NOT allowing the person to be burnt alive, it goes from a situation of allowing free will, to allowing evil.

I think the both of you are reading the wrong philosophers. they're not all right, you know?

follow your own advice.

you don't want to argue with me, dude. I'll just embarrass you in this thread, 'cause currently, I'm feeling very annoyed. don't lemme take it out on you.

God has a responsibility to keep his promises. he has failed to actually BE real, his only alternative is to align his descriptions with his actions. failure to do that proves he doesn't exist. the fact that you people keep shouting that God isn't responsible for his actions only points out that you are a confused bunch with serious cases of StockHolm syndrome.

What you fail to realize is that a God that can't keep his promises NOW, can't be expected to keep his promises EVER. More so, when he is supposed to be the "unchangeable."

you've failed to realize that the entire reason for your Christianity is the promise of an eternal life, tell me, How the hell are you going to know that yahweh is going to keep his promise of heaven, when he can't even keep basic promises now?

What. . . you just know? It's in the bible that he keeps promises? what, he's a loving God, so he will do it?

hogwash. he works in mysterious ways. part of his mystery may well include him throwing the lot of you in hell despite you licking his all day long. he's God, after all. he can do whatever he wants.

Since no,

They did NOT have free will at that particular time.
