What's ur take on this issue judging by the fact that some xtians say they are not going to leave boko haram or not. Should xtians form armed militias to counter boko haram? The police is really messing up.

At paulipopo long time how have you been? You are yet to write the concludung part of your thread 'how to be a super rich holy business man'. Why did you abandon the thread?

In answering your question, it is wrong and unchristlike for xtians to form militias to combat them.

Hi pastorkun have been fine thank you. Actually have concluded the course with an article on why xtians shouldn't pay tithes. On defending themselves i disagree on it being unchristian like to fight back if someone tries to kill me it's no sin to fight back to stay alive. There has to be a way to keep xtians in the north alive if they wish to stay there Nigeria belongs to everybody and boko haram has no right to dictate to others where they should reside or to even impose their religious beliefs on others. An eye for an eye may be unchristian like but tell that to hamas, al qaeda and hezbollah they know they have to be careful when picking their victims. Why not extend it boko haram?

@pualipopo
I have not said christians should not defend themselves when attacked, it is the idea of setting up a militia I refer to as being unchristian. Once a militia has been set up, there would be issues of counter attacks and reprisal attacks which is contrary to christ's teachings. If we go back in to history, the crusaders started of as a militia to 'defend' themselves and they ended up becoming terrorists themselves. As christians we ought to be very careful the way we respond persecution.

jn 11:53 Then from that day forth they took counsel together for to put him to death.

Jesus therefore walked no more openly among the Jews; but went thence unto a country near to the wilderness, into a city called Ephraim, and there continued with his disciples.


As christians, we are bound to follow Jesus actions.
Do not be stubborn,
The best defence is relocation.

Cover yourself with the Blood of Jesus. A couple of gallons of that good sh# should be sufficient but if you need to withstand bomb shrapnels, you will need the repeling power of Holy Ghost Fire to supplement the gallons of blood.
