Assyrian bishop stabbed during a service in his Sydney church forgives his attacker

Forgiving someone doesn't mean they trust them.

Bishop Mar Mari Emmanuel has two choices: Heaven or Earth. He has chosen heaven while living on this earth.

Again i blame the media for remaining silent or even complicit when Christians are verbally attacked. When TV guests can openly say that the most dangerous thing that can happen to the US is Christian nationalism is beyond appalling

Jesus with u

Allah calls to die for him, Christ calls to live for him.

That is true Faith. Just like Stephen during his stoning in Acts- he didn’t hold it against his attackers but said, “Lord, forgive them.” Though Stephen fell asleep in the flesh he did not see death because of his faith in Christ. This same Bishop Mar Mari has been attacked face to face and did not hold it against his attacker but prayed for him, and by the grace of God, he was not severely wounded. Only a man with the Spirit, a man who belongs to Jesus, can behave this way. Thank you for showing us true Faith Bishop. Thank you Lord Jesus, for protecting this man and showing the world Your power. All blessings and honor to You.

The only Bishop who speaks the truth always in his amazing sermons . Love him .🙏✝️❤️

Bishop Mar Mari Emmanuel is now our living saint, just like Pope John Paul II. Both survived by miracle. Thank you, God, for saving him! But my heart is bleeding for the attacker, knowing that he was born in such an environment filled with hate and was not allowed to experience Jesus' love. The love which raises you higher than any drug on earth, loves you more than any mother would, and gives you hope, joy, and peace, ultimate happiness forever and ever. It's extremely sad and painful to see that many still don't know or don't believe in what I'm talking about. If only they knew...

Those who are attacked/persecuted for Christ's namesake shall enter the Kingdom of Heaven. Blessed is Bishop Mar Mari!

Disgusting how they turn the comments off on almost every video and other media stations don't report on it.

I would encourage all to listen to his sermons. A great orator and storyteller, and an even better example of a Bible believing Christian. Prayers are up brother

He’s way better man than most and really way better than i will ever be. Seriously in this world in this country its all about if someone does something to you you get them back. Even Benny In Israel said if we are hurt we will hurt back. Everyone is going by that now.

That’s Christianity.

Prayers from the heart for your recovery good shepherd.

This is sad and wrong . Some devil some satan child .

Finally a video with the comments ON! Comments off on NEWS pages should be illegal! Let the people speak!

An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth was never about retribution; it was a limitation not to exceed that which was lost.

you are a great man from Kurdish family to our Assyrian brothers and sisters God bless him and every Assyrian kurd....

Praying for everyone involved.!!! Praying for all of them to be saved in Jesus name

As a Muslim I send a message of support to my Christian cousins, please do not allow the act of one mad man, to tarnish relations between billions of people. We are very sorry for what happened to Bishop Emmanual, and despite what he may have said in the past, does not give anyone the right to physically attack him, instead if you dont agree with his words, then come up with your own words or leave it to God. The 16 year old boy who attacked him had real mental and anger issues according to authorities and they have not classified the attack as an act of terrorism, instead blaming mental healthcare. Muslims are commanded by God in the Holy Quran to protect the places of worship, and says so in the Holy Quran to protect places of worship where Gods name is oft taken. Temples, Churches, Synagogues are named in the Quran and Allah likes Christian priests in the Quran, because Allah says they are humble and submit in humble submission. We stand with our Christian cousins and we pray for Bishop Emannuals swift health, and again we are very sorry this happened.
