Growing up as Christians our parent used to order us "get me the word of God on that table " so, we will run to get the bible on the table for them because we were groomed to believe that, that whole big book is the word of God.

Now we are grown up, we do not think like children anymore and we have come to understand that the word of God was specific for every generation mentioned in the bible : meaning, the word of God is also specific for us in this generation.
This also implies that apart from God's commandments what used to be the word of God for Abraham and Moses and their generation that we read in the bible can never be word of God for us today in this generation.
For instance, God asked Abraham to remove his shoes at the event of the burning bush. That does not imply that God is asking us today to remove our shoes whenever we step into the church or walk bare footed with white garment on the street.
Or there was a scripture we read that some people were commanded not to put on what garments belonging to the opposite sex, then we now take that for a doctrine today, commanding female church members that it is a sin to wear trouser.

Or God commanded the children of Israel to pay tithe, we now take that for a doctrine today, that is a clear backwardness.

So, the word of God can be dynamic, it changes with time. It is never rigid to a particular conservative belief system, rather it is flexible to accomodate the beliefs of even the lukewarm and the liberal believers.

Every scripture that was written were written at a particular era and these periods comes with their different trends of things.
Religion has the tendency to maintain old unnecessary beliefs which may not apply to our today world, therefore there is need for us to scrutinize scriptures before taking them as the word of God to us this generation, otherwise, we are short off from the standard of God who is dynamic and intelligent and begins to loose essence as christians this modern day.

They will continue to kill the Christians, God can't do more than a dead rat

Somehow true and false
The problem is that our people (Africans) tendss to be more religious than spiritual.

A core religious person doesn't know how to balance modern developments with christianity.
A religious person will tell you that if you use the internet you'll go to hell, ask him why? Den he start telling you that there's pornography, and different demoralising stuff there
But a spiritual person knows that we're living in an advance world far from when the bible was written, and he knows what to do.

Lagbaja01:
2 Timothy 3:16

2 Timothy 3:16 All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:

Did you see that?

FOR CORRECTION.

see, there is no error in the bible that cannot be corrected, it's left for the reader.

Infact, what is important is not what is written in that book. What is important is what is in your heart today.

"Hebrews 10:16 This is the covenant I will make with them after that time, says the Lord. I will put my laws in their hearts, and I will write them on their minds."

can't Christians fight for themselves?
Who says God is interested in fighting for Christians in that aspect?

Christians like the Israelites, Germans, Russians etc. Are fighting their battles, building mass destruction weapons, while believing in God.
But christians in my continent want God to come down and fight for them

Can't you see that we're bleeped up for real?

I think this partly has to do with the culture and barbarous traditions we still hold unto coupled with the egomaniac and unprogressive mentality we seem to be deluded with.I'm tired of seeing people blaming religion for our woes,thereby condoning and ignoring the crucial reason we are in this predicament which wouldn't change regardless of the religious state of the country. No matter how dominant religion is in a country there should be a level of cohesive and progressive attitude towards the greater good of the nation but No.We're only good at finding excuses. I guess it's every race with it's demons.

whatever bleep up you are talking about is subjected to christians in your continent and not Israelites, Russians or Germans.

So, let Christians in your continent do what Israelites are doing.
Let them do what Russians or Germans are doing let's see if this continent will not turn out to be good.

because they just don't want to fight.

I agree completely with the OP. In some places, devil spoke and it was recorded in the Bible. Men spoke and it was recorded. Angels and demons spoke and it was recorded. So, what do we do? We RIGHTLY DIVIDE the word.
