March 27, 2024, 12:55:24 pm Mark says: Shocked Shocked Shocked Shocked  When Hamas spokesman Abu Ubaida began a speech marking the 100th day of the war in Gaza, one confounding yet eye-opening proclamation escaped the headlines. Listing the motives for the Palestinian militant group's Oct. 7 massacre in Israel, he accused Jews of "bringing red cows" to the Holy Land.

September 24, 2017, 10:45:16 pm Psalm 51:17 says: The specific rule pertaining to the national anthem is found on pages A62-63 of the league rulebook. It states: “The National Anthem must be played prior to every NFL game, and all players must be on the sideline for the National Anthem. “During the National Anthem, players on the field and bench area should stand at attention, face the flag, hold helmets in their left hand, and refrain from talking. The home team should ensure that the American flag is in good condition. It should be pointed out to players and coaches that we continue to be judged by the public in this area of respect for the flag and our country. Failure to be on the field by the start of the National Anthem may result in discipline, such as fines, suspensions, and/or the forfeiture of draft choice(s) for violations of the above, including first offenses.”
September 20, 2017, 04:32:32 am Christian40 says: "The most popular Hepatitis B vaccine is nothing short of a witch’s brew including aluminum, formaldehyde, yeast, amino acids, and soy. Aluminum is a known neurotoxin that destroys cellular metabolism and function. Hundreds of studies link to the ravaging effects of aluminum. The other proteins and formaldehyde serve to activate the immune system and open up the blood-brain barrier. This is NOT a good thing."

Nigerian Army Said to Help in Slaughter of Christians

Plateau state governor fears alleged involvement of soldiers sets dangerous precedent.
JOS, Nigeria, August 28 (CDN) — Muslim extremists with the alleged help of Nigerian army personnel killed 24 Christians this month in central Nigeria’s Plateau state, area sources said.
 
The attacks started Aug. 11 in Ratsa Foron village, where assaults that day and on Aug. 15 left six Christians dead; also on Aug. 15 in Heipang village, Muslim extremists killed nine members of one Christian family along with another Christian, the sources said.
 
“They were in army uniform. I even know some of them; they came along with the Muslims to attack us,” said a tearful Nnaji John, who lost her family in the attack. “I can swear to God Almighty that the attack was carried out with the support of the soldiers; I saw them.”


Attacks on Aug. 21 in Kwi, Loton, and Jwol villages killed six more Christians, said the sources, who added that Nigerian army soldiers participated in the assaults or at least accompanied the assailants. 
 

In the community of Chwelnyap in Jos on Aug. 14, Muslim extremists killed two Christians and injured one woman, the area sources said.
 
Chollom Gyangof Chwelnyap confirmed that the Aug. 14 attack on his neighborhood was carried out with the support or tacit approval of Muslims in the army’s Special Task Force (STF), a unit designed to stop sectarian attacks.
 
“The attackers were the very soldiers deployed to the area to ensure protection of the people,” Gyang said. “One of the victims received a call from the STF men in the area to come out and assist, only to get gunned down by them as he stepped out from his house.”
 
Gyang said area residents found identification cards of Muslim soldiers, berets and other pieces of their uniforms in the villages that were attacked.
 
Plateau Gov. Jonah Jang called for immediate withdrawal of the Nigerian army because, he said, Muslims in the army have taken sides with Islamist assailants.
 
“I am convinced that the armed forces are being polluted with the religious crisis in the country,” Jang said. “Before now, the military personnel used to stay in the barracks, but today the armed forces have started taking sides in this religious crisis, and if they are not called to order it will be dangerous for the country.”
 
Bitrus Kaze, representative for Jos in Nigeria’s National Assembly, said in a recent press conference that there have been other times that military ID cards and pieces of uniforms have been found at the scene of sectarian attacks.
 
“It is a very sad testimony of the STF,” he said. “And what worries me is that in spite of that grievous allegation, it appears to me that STF has not come out, at least to deny it. It is really very strange and worrisome to me that in a scene of such a heinous crime, where a family of nine was wiped out, and an allegation of this nature was leveled against the military, it says nothing about it.”
 
Capt. Charles Ekeocha, spokesman of the task force deployed to Heipang to stop the attacks, did not expressly address the allegations, but he confirmed the number killed in the attack and said, “My troops went to the area to repel the attack.”
 
Sources told Compass the slain family members at Heipang village, who were associated with the Redeemed Christian Church of God, were Nnamdi John, Ekeoma John, Ebere John, Elechi John Aboh, Gift Amechi, Ighechi Amechi, Amarachi John, Obed Amechi, Uchenna Amechi; the other area Christian was Joseph Davou.
 
Sources said those murdered in Ratsa Foron were Pam John and his son, Elijah; Gwom Gyang; Deme Dung Tsok; Samuel Gwom; and Adamu Gwong.
 

Daniel Deni, who represents Riyom in the Plateau State House of Assembly, confirmed the attacks on Jwol, Kwi, and Loton villages.


“Three Christians were killed in Loton village in Jos district, while the other was killed in Kwi, all in Riyom Local Government area,” he told Compass by phone. “In fact as I am talking to you, I am in the bush with the sector commander and his men, and they are in search of the attackers.”
 
Alamveabee Efihraim Idyorough, a Christian who lives in the Jos suburb of Anaguta, said his neighborhood has been attacked multiple times over the past 10 years.
 
“Do Christian ethnic minorities not have the right to exist in Nigeria?” Idyorough asked. “Are Christians not citizens of the Federal Republic of Nigeria?”

The thing i find alot of the time with these "Christian" deaths is that these "Christians" killed are Catholic, Anglican, Coptic, Orthodox or some other denomination that you would not agree with as a King James Bible Believer. Whether those killed are Christian or not only God can tell. So the same thing with the Muslims, those Muslims that are accused of killing someone may not be Muslim themselves either. There is alot of confusion in these reports. In all cases it is very sad when a human being is killed but we must at least guess these days.

Ad Feedback More than 100 Nigerian Christians have died at the hands of Muslim extremists within the last month, according to Compass Direct News.

Most recently, the persecution news source said five Christians in Niger state were killed Sept. 22. In the week prior, three others were killed in Kaduna, including a 13-year-old girl.

Eyewitnesses told Compass Direct that militants, possibly from the Boko Haram Islamic group, went to Christian shops, ordering owners to recite verses from the Koran Those who didn't obey were killed.

A spokesman for the Niger State Police Command confirmed the deaths, and also said the group was responsible for recent bombings of Christian sites.

The killings are described as "hit and run" guerilla attacks that, in some cases, have eliminated entire families.

Earlier in September, 14 Christians were killed -- one of them a pregnant woman.

Dachung Dagai, pastor of a Church of Christ in Nigeria, told Compass Direct his village has been attacked three times since he arrived eight months ago.

Survivors say they believe the Islamic extremists are recruiting nomadic Muslims known as fulanis to carry out attacks.

I have also run accross this issue. Catholics arent Christian, yet they still dont need murdered. But the Stories should show this difference. The Media seems to want to lump this all together, just as they are trying to lump mormons as Christians also.

Christian Evangelist Murdered in Nigeria


Less than three months after the murder of Nigerian pastor David Usman, Islamic extremists have executed another Christian in the country.

The latest killing involves 36-year-old evangelist Mark Ojunta. Ojunta was ministering in Nigeria's northeastern state with Calvary Ministries when he was killed by the radical group Boko Haram.

Compass Direct News reports Ojunta, his wife and two children found out they were on a hit list back in August.

The evangelist safely evacuated his family, but decided to return to the area to teach a class to believers when he was killed.

Although Ojunta was buried late last month in his home state of Abia, news of his death was only reported recently.

Northern Nigeria is considered one of the top 25 worst nations for persecuted Christians.

please pray for his family

I pray that many Muslims will be converted and come to the Lord Jesus Christ but i realize the effect of my prayers and that is that many Christians will be killed in preaching the Gospel to the Muslims (which will only mean that more Muslims convert to follow the Lord Jesus)

I will be praying!

Nigerian Christians Call Deadly Christmas Day Attacks a 'Declaration of War'

Upset with inaction from President Goodluck Jonathan, Christian groups in Nigeria have vowed to defend themselves following Christmas Day attacks that left more than 50 people dead. The horrific bombings were carried out by Islamist terror sect Boko Haram on churches throughout the country despite warnings from Christian groups in the lead up to Christmas.

The Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) issued a statement this week calling for Christians to defend themselves from Boko Haram attacks, suggesting that Nigeria already finds itself in war.

“The Christian community is fast losing confidence in government’s ability to protect our rights to religious liberties and life,” the statement read. “The consensus is that the Christian community nationwide would be left with no other option than to respond appropriately if there are any further attacks on our members, churches and properties.”

“It is considered as a declaration of war on Christians and Nigeria as an entity,” the statement said.

At least 50 people were killed in four separate attacks throughout the country on Christmas Day – including a suicide bombing where a Boko Haram militant drove a truck of explosives into a church as Mass ended near the capital city Abuja.

Speaking to reporters outside of that church, St. Theresa Church, CAN President Ayo Oritsejafor said, "Christians should protect themselves... in any way they can."

Pastor's Wife Killed in Islamists' Church Attack

Gunmen attacked a church in Nigeria during a prayer service Thursday night, killing at least six people and wounding several others.

Pastor Johnson Jauro of the Deeper Life Church in Gombe said his wife was among those killed.

The attack comes just weeks after a radical Muslim sect, Boko Haram, claimed responsibility for a series of church bombings.
     
Boko Haram, whose name means "Western education is sacrilege," has warned all Christians to leave northern Nigeria.

The country's president, Goodluck Jonathan, has declared a state of emergency in regions of Borno, Niger, Plateau, and Yobe states because of the attacks.
