Some Christians and hypocrisy are like 5&6!

Read again! I didn’t ask if it is a sin to punish those that didn’t receive Jesus?

The question again …is it a sin to punish criminals who are enemy of PEACE or LIGHT?


Have you heard from the Bible that we can do nothing except by the spirit of God that strengthens us? This same spirit of God (an excellent spirit) was upon Daniel who worked with king Nebuchadnezzar who was always looking for innovations to conquer his enemies at war.


Is it not a defense when the spirit of God reveals to you the plans of your enemies who are planning to kill you ? Heheh ha……pls tell us more.
You have selective reading ish. The capital answer is NO

Is Jesus not the LIGHT and Prince of PEACE. You need to study your Bible more and leave nairaland

Show us where Daniel used holy spirit to fight

You are the one having selective reading and answer. We talking about thieves and criminals being punished for not obeying the laws of government (which are laws of God). So where did we discuss Jesus as LIGHT and peace?

The question is simple and clear enough to understand. Now let me rephrase the question again …is it a sin to punish criminals who are enemy of Government secular laws given by God e.g no prostitution, robbery, lying and others).

I didn’t ask if it is a sin to punish those that didn’t receive Jesus.

Of what use is Jesus praying for the enemies he's coming to kill later according to the Bible?
Our only enemy is Satan the devil. It's unfortunate that some humans allow themselves to be an instrument of evil in the hand of Satan. If you willingly allow yourself to be an instrument of wickedness against your fellow human...you deserve to be killed now and hereafter.
Be wise and don't argue ignorantly.

I can't honestly be praying to God to bless my enemies. No.
I pray for my enemies to reap what they sow. If they plan evil for me...I pray for their evil to meet them on their bed.

Don't chicken out, whatever you alleged must be proof from the scripture. If you can't provide proof, just know that it's human doctrine

YoungBTCxchange:
in the Bible both the old testament and the new testament, almost very body there pray for their enemies to die, so why Will I be the one praying for my enemies to live.
The enemy planning for someone death, if you don't pray fire on their head, they might succeed one day because human beings hardly repent. Na who die na him lose, some will repent in their old age that time they might have killed many people before already before repenting
Ah
No o
I’m not praying for my enemy to die o
I can only pray for such to move far away from me

Where did I say ALL GOVERNMENT LAWS agree with Gods law. Specifically listed some of the laws of government that agrees with that of God to which you yourself agreed to that government laws should be obeyed.

Have You Prayed For Your Enemies?

Jesus taught us to love and pray for our enemies.

Matthew 5:44-45 (KJV)

But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you;
That ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust.


Therefore have you prayed for your enemies as Jesus commanded us to do?

If you haven't it's suggests you're not a true follower of Jesus because true followers of Jesus keep His teachings.

God bless.
Hopefully, your enemy would let you live long enough to pray for them.
If you attack me with a knife, I'll come for you with two swords!

We are not afraid to back our claims with scripture

The work of the Holy Spirit includes conviction of sin (John 16:8 ), regeneration (John 3:5-6), assurance of salvation (Rom. 8:16), enlightenment (John 16:13), transformation (2 Cor. 3:18), fruitfulness (Gal. 5:22-23), gifting (1 Cor. 12:7), and empowerment (Acts 1:8 ).

It's now your turn to back your claims

King James Version

27 But those mine enemies, which would not that I should reign over them, bring hither, and slay them before me.

Lol at wound the hairy scalp of the wicked, l agree


Prayers against Enemies is allowed
Jesus Christ said pray for your enemies, he was not referring to Physical enemies but rather SPIRITUAL ENEMIES

APOSTLE PAUL called death as the last enemy to be destroyed, which means DEATH is an ENEMY to pray against especially UNTIMELY DEATH hanging and following different people in different Families

Poverty( Spiritual, physical , financial, marital, emotional, psychological etc are different kinds of enemies sleeping and waking with different people daily ) , sickness, diseases, infirmities, Stagnancy, Bad luck, Disfavour, Inferiority complex, Failure at the edge of success, Evil Altar's & Shrines speaking or attacking some people, Barrenness, cancer, killer diseases, lack of destiny Helpers, fishing and catching nothing on the ocean of life, covens and Altar's of witchcraft, sorcery, enchantments, divination etc , Hired killers and ritualist sent to kill you etc are different kinds of enemies you are allowed to pray against otherwise Dem go kill you ooo sad God has enemies , Jesus was born and (Herod an enemy wanted to kill Jesus and the Angel told Joseph to flee to Egypt, 40 people vowed to Kill Apostle Paul in the Acts of the Apostles but God intervened, ), so if you don't pray against certain FORCES , Dem go kill the person ooo grin
QED. There are very many kind of enemies in different categories to pray against. There's no way I'm going to pray for someone invoking demonic forces against me and mine.

"But God will wound the head of His enemies,
The hairy scalp of the one who still goes on in his treses."

Curse here is subjective. Literally he meant vilify or verbal abuse, not words uttered with spiritual invocations and demonic backing. Know the difference
