HeavenlyHolines:
As a born again matured Christian, Christ is our perfect example. During the days of Christ, there was corruption in the land but he never protested or cause any mayhem because he knew his assignments. As Christians, we have a system we operate and we have an assignment here on earth and we shouldn't follow the systems of the world because by strength shall no man prevail and not by power,not by might but by the spirit of God. If you tell all those protesting to come and pray the way they are forcing us to protest, we de come? The answer is no. We have our own format which is prayer and we will continue to use it. Shalom

You're wrong.

[A report about Archbishop Martin's]

Hi.

I follow the Bible. I don't know this Archbishop Martin person.

AududuNine11:


God bless you.

Thank you for your kind words.

[quote author=ramatintin post=94825187][/quote] You're wrong.

Thank you, Jesus. ❤

Why not

DappaD:


It wasn't revealed to me sir. As one of Jehovah's Witnesses, that's one of the basic truths we learnt years ago.

If you wish to know more about that heavenly Kingdom, please contact Jehovah's Witnesses in your local residence and visit JW.ORG

I would say, that's just one of the scriptural injunctions your organization have selected to believe because it suits the narrative of your organization.

Half-truth is as good as poison.

Embrace the while truth of the Bible and not being selective to what you choose to narrate and believe to suit your narrative.

Whether revealed to you or not, it takes nothing away from what the revealed Word of God states and says.

There's absolutely no problem sir.
You've got your freewill to express, just like I got mine.
Do what you think is right while I'll do what's right to me according to the Bible.
Shouldn't be a cause for problems.

Our Lord Jesus Christ protested against the Sales of commodities in his Father's house.
I hope this little sentence answers your quest.

I have responded to comments like this. You can read up.

I don't know maybe today or later, when my mind is calm and clear, I will try to make a thread to write about why it is right for believers to join peaceful protests. Or maybe I won't, I don't know for now. My mind is in many places

AududuNine11:


Jesus Christ was consumed in the work of which His Father has set Him to do.

Jesus didn't "protest", whatever you mean by such word, He sternly rebuked and warned the hypocritical religious leaders who pervert God's words and serve as stumbling block to salvation and liberation of the lost sheep Jesus came to save.

Christ constant warning was not just to the common sinners, but to all and sundry, rulers not excluded.

I am really confused when you say Jesus Christ "protested". That sounds hilarious I must say.

If I must ask, is it the same zeal for the works of God that you're consumed with? Are you protesting for the salvation of the lost or what really?

We really need to watch it so as not to blaspheme in our attempt to justify our actions by misquoting scriptures, taking them out of context and dragging the name of the Lord into our figment of our own mind.

Sometimes, we fail to understand we are pilgrims here on earth.

We have become so entangled and choked with the cares of life that we think here is our final bus-stop.

do you really know what the word protest mean??

weyreypey:


EndSARS

Yeah, not my problem really. I pray and it becomes God's problem, if He wants to deal with it.

I can't let religion think for me....my kids won't be baptized or know any church until they are above 18years


The won't be in any school owned by religious organization

If I hear you shout holyghost fire in my house before the age of 18 I will flog the hell fire out of you


I will try and shield them as much as I can then when you get the age of 18+ choose your own bath and I will welcome it with my heart and support you

Our Lord Jesus instructed us to avoid protest that is against our leaders , is a sin

Fûck our Lord Jesus then

We will never do such a thing because the Master taught us to all those in authority to take their chances in whatever they feel like doing since we know that their government is not our government! Matt 5:39-42
Whatever they're doing there is none of our business since our own government is not from this source! John 18:36
People voted them in so it's the duty of those who voted them to protest against them perhaps those elected aren't performing as they promised the voters. But for us who never has any hand in all their arrangement, ours is to leave their premises for them if they will not allow us worship our God in peace! Matt 10:23
We are not part of the world! John 17:14-16

You're not part of of the world, please sir which planet are you typing from?

lol

Amotolongbo:
Dem don come again!

Those who don’t understand the reasons for their existence

It's the duty of every believer to protest against anything evil or corrupt.
Even Jesus Christ protested when he entered the synagogue and found people trading.
The actions and inactions of government controls our lifes and even to an extent our relationship with God. As such, the process of choosing and removing any evil agency should be every believers' duty.
Though our home is not here, but it's here we make plans for it

natanyin:
do you really know what the word protest mean??

I will assume the only meaning most of you know about PROTEST is "carrying placards, demonstration, matching through the streets and confronting authorities headlong".

The next thing you'd quite is to say Jesus protested by driving those who turned the temple to a market place with a whip. Lol

Same here, m breaking up with my girl for this reason. She wants our children to be brought in the church way. Am totally against that, my children making that decision themselves. Am only teaching them to be humanist, and how humanity comes first b4 anything.

Thank you sir. 1 Peter 2:21 For even hereunto were ye called: because Christ also suffered for us, leaving us an example, that ye should follow his steps:
2:22 Who did no sin, neither was guile found in his mouth:
2:23 Who, when he was reviled, reviled not again; when he suffered, he threatened not; but committed himself to him that judgeth righteously:
1 Peter 2:9 But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light:

If those beastly SARS officers have met Jesus Christ and surrendered to His Lordship, we won't be having the whole mess we are having now.

So dumb

You never had any contributions in hsitory and even now. Stay there and be silent.

I'm one of Jehovah's Witnesses.

According to the Bible, the reason why the world is in distress is because it's being controlled by powerful & evil unseen forces headed by Satan the Devil and a host of other demons. (Ephesians 6:12, 1John 5:19, Revelation 12:9-12)

The Bible also reveals that by means of a heavenly Kingdom or government, all human governments and organizations will be brought to their knees and destroyed forever. (Compare Daniel 2:44 with Revelation 16:14-16, 17:12-14, 19:19-21)

Imagine you're on a sinking ship and the only option you have is a lifeboat, would you remain in the ship trying to repair damages or leave immediately?
That's the same in this case—trying to protest for changes or amends to be made is just a fruitless exercise since they're all going to be destroyed anyway.

That's why Jesus stressed the need to remain neutral concerning worldly affairs.
His true disciples were to be “no part of the world”—John 17:14,16
Because he himself knew it's all futile since a better Kingdom or government which is not of human source was coming. (John 18:36)

The best thing true Christians can do for themselves is offer prayers to God concerning the ruling governments so that they can continue their worship to God peacefully—and not for any changes to be made.(Acts 4:23-30, 1Timothy 2:1-2)

The real question is how many of those claiming to be Christians today follow this Biblical advice?
Those telling you it's okay to protest don't have any regard for the words of Jesus Christ himself—as they will only choose Scriptures that soothe their own agenda. (2Peter 3:16-17)

If a believer knows how to solve the problem of his/her soil clossed mouth and pretended like unawared is he a believer. Some people can't react because they don't know what to do.

This People with their chicken brain, never ceases to amaze me, O what happen to our sensibility

AududuNine11:


You are not totally wrong. But then, it is not expedient for believers to do.

I would have loved to type at length, but I don't feel compelled to do such.

Let the Holy Spirit guide whatever actions we take.




Lol... You actually took your time to give a reply to a confused fellow who doesn't even understand what he's posting or what point he is making.

And how exactly do these scriptures relate to Believers not participating in peaceful protests?

Bad movement

This version of Christianity, is lazy, very convienient, timid, and cowardly and very un_intelligent.
