ARE KUKI-ZOU TRIBES TRUE CHRISTIANS ? Many non-Christians and even many Christians misunderstand about true Christians. True Christians are those who follow Christ and do what Christ and His disciples teach them. Anybody who goes against Christ's and His disciples' teachings are not Christians, even if they claim to be Christians. Therefore, I request all the people to read the following passages from the Bible to understand as to who is a true Christian and who is not. >> SHOULD CHRISTIAN LOVE PEOPLE OR HATE AND KILL ENEMIES AND NEIGHBOURS? >> CHRISTIANS MUST LOVE THEIR NEIGHBORS AND ENEMIES: Matthew 22:39 NCV And the second command is like the first: ‘Love your neighbor as you love yourself.’ Matthew 5:44 NIV But I tell you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, Luke 6:27-28 NIV 27 “But to you who are listening I say: Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, 28 bless those who curse you, pray for those who mistreat you. Luke 6:35 NIV But love your enemies, do good to them, and lend to them without expecting to get anything back. Then your reward will be great, and you will be children of the Most High, because he is kind to the ungrateful and wicked. Exodus 23:4-5 NCV 4 “If you see your enemy’s ox or donkey wandering away, you must return it to him. 5 If you see that your enemy’s donkey has fallen because its load is too heavy, do not leave it there. You must help your enemy get the donkey back on its feet. Proverbs 24:17 NLT Don’t rejoice when your enemies fall; don’t be happy when they stumble. Proverbs 25:21 NLT If your enemy is hungry, give him food to eat; if he is thirsty, give him water to drink. Matthew 5:38-39 NCV 38 “You have heard that it was said, ‘An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth.’ 39 But I tell you, don’t stand up against an evil person. If someone slaps you on the right cheek, turn to him the other cheek also. >> CHRISTIANS MUST BLESS PEOPLE INSTEAD OF REVENGE OR RETALIATION: Romans 12:14 NLT Bless those who persecute you. Don’t curse them; pray that God will bless them. 1 Corinthians 4:12 We work hard with our own hands to earn our living. We bless those who curse us. We are patient with those who abuse us. 1 Peter 3:9 NIV Do not repay evil with evil or insult with insult. On the contrary, repay evil with blessing, because to this you were called so that you may inherit a blessing. 1 Thessalonians 5:15 NLT See that no one pays back evil for evil, but always try to do good to each other and to all people. >> CHRISTIANS MUST LIVE WITH PEOPLE IN PEACE: Romans 12:17-18 NIRV 17 Don’t pay back evil with evil. Be careful to do what everyone thinks is right. 18 If possible, live in peace with everyone. Do that as much as you can. >> WHAT IS CHRISTIAN LOVE? 1 Corinthians 13:4-7 4. Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. 5. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. 6. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. 7. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. >> CHRISTIANS MUST NOT WAGE WAR FOR HOMELAND OR WORLDLY THINGS: 1John 16-17 NKJV 16. For all that is in the world-the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life-is not of the Father but is of the world. 17. And the world is passing away, and the lust of it; but he who does the will of God abides forever. Hebrews 13:14 NLT 14 For this world is not our permanent home; we are looking forward to a home yet to come. Philippians 3:20 NCV 20 But our homeland is in heaven, and we are waiting for our Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ, to come from heaven. 1 John 5:19 NLT 19 We know that we are children of God and that the world around us is under the control of the evil one. 1 Peter 2:11-12 NCV 11. Dear friends, you are like foreigners and strangers in this world. I beg you to avoid the evil things your bodies want to do that fight against your soul. 12. People who do not believe are living all around you and might say that you are doing wrong. Live such good lives that they will see the good things you do and will give glory to God on the day when Christ comes again. Colossians 3:2 KJV 2 Set your mind on things above, not on things on the earth. >> CAUSES OF QUORREL AND FIGHT JAMES 4:1-10 1. What is causing the quarrels and fights among you? Don’t they come from the evil desires at war within you? 2. You want what you don’t have, so you scheme and kill to get it. You are jealous of what others have, but you can’t get it, so you fight and wage war to take it away from them. Yet you don’t have what you want because you don’t ask God for it. 3. And even when you ask, you don’t get it because your motives are all wrong-you want only what will give you pleasure. 4. You adulterers! Don’t you realize that friendship with the world makes you an enemy of God? I say it again: If you want to be a friend of the world, you make yourself an enemy of God. 5. Do you think the Scriptures have no meaning? They say that God is passionate that the spirit he has placed within us should be faithful to him. 6. And he gives grace generously. As the Scriptures say, “God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble.” 7. So humble yourselves before God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. 8. Come close to God, and God will come close to you. Wash your hands, you sinners; purify your hearts, for your loyalty is divided between God and the world. 9. Let there be tears for what you have done. Let there be sorrow and deep grief. Let there be sadness instead of laughter, and gloom instead of joy. 10. Humble yourselves before the Lord, and he will lift you up in honor. Not only Kuki-Zou tribes, but all the people who claim themselves as Christians but believe or act against the above Biblical teachings, are not true Christians.
