This is a comprehensive documentary that is very thought provoking.

Let me try and summarise the video for those who wont be able to watch the video.

Video summary

1. Video is a documentary that was shot in Kentucky USA. One of the most christian dominated states in the united states.

2. Video centers around the belief that christians should and are actually taking up arms to protect themselves.

3. A church's special program was the focal point. this church hosted a program where they gave out guns after a raffle draw

4. Trying to gain a balance, the documentary featured a Mosque too and inquired if it would also be acceptable if mosques starts sharing guns to worshippers. The imam of the mosque rightly answered that it would be very ridiculous and that it would cause an outcry against muslims if they ever did what the church did.

5. There is a gun factory that makes guns just for christians. They make semi-automatic rifles called the CRUSADER. Modelled after the US M16 assault rifle.

as a Christian what is your take on this? Is it right that God be put aside and guns or any weapons be relied on for protection?

Why do christians find it alarming if muslims are also taking up arms.


What is your take on self defence?

This are relevant questions, relevant to this country and relevant in this period.

You would recall General Danjuma, a christian also called for nigerians to take up arms. Lets discuss this issue.

No one should pay this thread any attention because it wasn't opened by a believer but someone whose intent has always been to mock Christianity.

The Israelites had weapons, they went to war

HardMirror:
the isrealites are not christians get your facts right

HardMirror:
hmmm. So those who dont take up arms would be allowed to die if attacked? Why wount heaven help them. And exactly how does heaven help those who help themselves? Does heaven make their shooting to be accurate or what exactly would be heaven's contribution?

HardMirror:
you dont want to be a better person. This is like people challenging slavery and it's link with religion. Those who feel threatened would fight it. Dont listen to him!!! Dont listen to him!!!! Even the pharesees and saducees did not what people to listen to Jesus. That is who you are! An hypocrite. Who does not want the truth but his own convenience.

alBHAGDADI:
The thing is, you are not a Christian, therefore you have no right to speak or judge concerning Christian matters.

Go and play with your atheist friends.

Where did Christians come, who is their God

Only honest Christians [s]who probably are already on the path to being agnostic, atheists or simply irreligious anyway[/s] might be able to come with meaningful discussions on this thread.

The rest hate questions like this that shake the very foundation of their faith even if it is small shaking sef not earthquake proportion and prefer to remain in their sheep/zombie status . They know tackling questions like this will lead them to the glaring reality and the truth. Their Pastors are wiser and know that this god business is a farce that is why they are always with beefed up security personnel armed to the teeth, some even employed bomb disposal units for their venues!

HardMirror:
but christians have all the right to talk about muslims or traditional worshippers right? Lol. Even going out to preach to them and condemning their religions. Indeed you are an hypocrite

Pysam:
have u heard of things happening in northern Nigeria.let me ask u too should Christians there pick up guns and fight. Let me also ask you have u heard of Boko Haram. Islamic brotherhood. Etc. Should Christians setup their own rebels or killing groups.

If a xtain can have guns for defence, he can have juju for defence too, all na weapon.

there are situations that will demand a Christian to defend himself

Christianity mocks itself and does so better than any unbeliever

From displays of obvious doubts of your god to eating grass, drinking petrol, volunteering as foot mats, begging for money in the name of Jehovah, inaccurate knowledge of your own religion and content of your holy book and other nonsense, Christians are are number one at ridiculing their own religion

alBHAGDADI:
Point of correction, Christianity doesn't move mock itself, it is false people who are giving it a bad name.

As long as you can't find anywhere in the Bible where Christians are commanded to do those ridiculous things you mentioned, you can't label those who engage in such as Christians.

With what?

HardMirror:
we are talking about now. Should christians have weapons? Those christians with guns in their homes, are they undermining God's ability to protect them? Are they saying christians who rather trust God are not wise?

StillX10:
with weapons

Christians in the north will understand

Christians from the SS may not understand
