bereanway:This is a very unbiblical post. You guys fail to realise that we are in the new testament era. "We wrestle not against flesh and blood but against."......"for the weapons of our warfare are not carnal.......". Yeshua says pray for your enemy. Abeg wetin enemy mean again? Which one is different types of enemy. He said pray for those that persecute you...even Stephen before they killed him prayed for his killers, Yeshua did same and it was common practice for the early martyrs. Paul says do good to your enemies that it's like heaping coal on them. Any other doctrine is demonic and unscriptural which is what this post is ![]() The issue is Christian's now are to carnal and are like salt that has lost its savor. If truly you r a lover of God you wont be having village people chasing you. God will take care of those things if you r on fire for God. Can you imagine a village head killing Yeshua or Paul or Peter? Iz becos we are lukewarm and dont love God hence all this useless fall down and die prayers. Lovers of God dont pray for people to die but God has the discretion on when to kill wicked people as I beleive in judgement and killing is part of judgement for evil unrepentant blood suckers but it's not in your place but Gods decision. Your own is to serve Him and do His commandments which includes praying for your enemies ![]() The best thing is to be serious with God and you wont even know you have enemies . The enemy is irrelevant if we focus on the word. GOD never told Adam about the devil and his tricks but only gave him the word for Adam to obey. Obedience is better than sacrifice. Obey the word esp the NT and see how God makes you d apple of His eye |

bereanway:I mean Christians in general are self-absorbed people. Prayers are always about their insignificant needs. This universe is so vast, and we are nothing in the grand scheme. Therefore not everyone is out to get you, if someone is your enemy, you are their enemy too Do you feel you deserve to drop dead too? |

1Sharon:A special guy like me is designed to live long. I will live long. Sharon, is a dreaded kidnapper/ritualist who has killed lots of people fit to die? even the law will tell you yes...The law knows who is fit and who is not fit to die. |

bereanway:Haha.. the typical christian delusion. Can I blame you? No. Religion wants and tells you to feel special. But think am, if we are all special to God that means none of us are special. |

1Sharon:I am a special person and Jesus Christ the Supreme keeps my soul, spirit and body by the Supreme Power in His Blood. |

bereanway:Lol. If we are all special, that means none of us are special. Sorry to burst your delusion. This is real life not church where your pastor tells you sweet nothings. |

nlPoster:If you are a police, Forgive armed robbers.... You can give them timeline to repent from their murder, if they still continue killing, let them die... |
| Re: Should Christians Pray For Some Enemies to Die? by nlPoster: 12:17am On Nov 10, 2019 |
foodometer:I am not a police. I have no information on armed robbers. Perhaps you do? Could you ask a question I can relate with instead of bringing up scenarios relevant to you but which I did not mention since nobody told me? |
| Re: Should Christians Pray For Some Enemies to Die? by nlPoster: 12:20am On Nov 10, 2019 |
Btw, which part of criminal behaviour and the legal penalty do folks find so difficult to understand? Are you people Christians and churchgoers? But you dont believe in the rule of law and the legal code? In case you dont understand what I'm saying, I am asking what repentance has to do with the legal penalty for a proven crime? The police person has a duty, how is repentance involved in these scenarios you mention except when in court? Someone should explain please. |

Bereanway, I'm not quite sure I get this, but I'm gonna try. Are you saying that we Christians should pray for a specific type of enemy to die? If so, I don't quite think that was what Christ had in mind. I have prayed for an "enemy" to be destroyed personally by God..although the person didn't "physically" kill anyone. I wanted that person gone, and in a "suffering" sort of way. I tried hard to justify my desire..BUT had to repent on how I was feeling. I knew that wasn't Christ' way. No matter how justified I felt...I placed myself in a guilty light (before the Lord) for wishing death on someone. I had to pray very hard (for a period of time) in order to release that desire for vindication. I also had to contact that person and gain closure (which included a lot of humility, regardless of whether the person reciprocated). Even Stephen, who became a matyr for Christ, prayed for the people stoning him..people who thought they were doing the will of God. I know this is very tough to digest, but Christ even wants the ritualists/occultists (who you say kill repeatedly with no conscience) and demonically-possessed folks etc., to come to repentance.. That doesn't mean, however, that death may not come because someone repents. Sometimes actions have grave consequences, either through the law or other instances but you still (as a Christian) shouldn't be wishing death on ANY type of enemy (no matter who actually carries it out) regardless of their mentality...in my humble opinion. |

Matthew 5:44 But I say to you, Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, |

Matthew 5:43-48 “You have heard that it was said, ‘You shall love your neighbor and hate your enemy.’ But I say to you, Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, so that you may be sons of your Father who is in heaven. For he makes his sun rise on the evil and on the good, and sends rain on the just and on the unjust. For if you love those who love you, what reward do you have? Do not even the tax collectors do the same? And if you greet only your brothers, what more are you doing than others? Do not even the Gentiles do the same? ... |

bereanway:Lol. This is funny. Don't you want to go to heaven? Or can you go to heaven without dying? You want to go to heaven but you don't want to die. Lol The Bible says, where your treasure is, there your heart will be. What makes you a special guy? Haven't we seen young devoted Christians die from ghastly accidents? Haven't we seen ritualists and looters live until ripe old age? Do you think because you go to church every Sunday, petition God in prayers every morning and night makes you special? Why do you think you're special bro? |

Its very clear in the scriptures, Suffer not a witch to live, If you allow the devil to use you,you have yo die, I don't have powers to cast the devil out of you, but I have the power to cast you out of the devil. |

The beauty of this forum is that it offers the witches , wizards, evil doers and good ones the opportunity to defend their actions. Will sheeps be praying for lions/hyenas etc to repent and stop killing other animals? |
