You should be getting thousands of likes but you only got 3. This knowledge you just put out here puts you above all tle useless men of God In this country, doctrine wise.

It says clearly in the bible that we should not forsake the gathering of fellow Christians but it never said we should literarily "go to church", did ît?. It goes without saying that church isn't a physical one goes to. Rather, it's more about how we behave and act especially to our brethren. In this respect, I don't go to church, but I "go to church" daily.

This is true worship, spiritually going to church daily.
It's not about getting the 'likes'. I'm happy that the message is passed and it got many views... I really like your religious mentality. Pls keep it going.

Today, I will switch ON my TV as I always do, and watch cartoons and movies to try create an air of peace and happiness.

So much strife, misery and violence in a religious world, that I ponder what sanity an irreligious society could have offered.

All around me, an adulterous man has just polished his shoes and headed to church. A fraudulent employee has just filled his wallet with cash for offertory - funds embezzled from overstated receipts from the past week.
The choir master has put on his best perfume in the hopes that Mary will return home with him this Sunday afternoon. The pastor has just perfected another strategy of improving the amount of revenue realised from his Sunday business, costs will certainly be borne by the Williams who just had a test tube baby the church has craftily termed a miracle.

We will all wake up on Monday and return to our busy weekly activities, except that only I would have truly rested.


Christ dint come for the healthy but the sick. A righteous man is not available, thats why grace came. In constant expose to the presence and word of God, the scripture reproaches, teaches and build us.

It is better to be in the presence of God as a sinner than to find reason not to be in the faults of others. Salvation is a personal race. Your neighbours' sins wont be on your head.

Are you referring to the church as the presence of God? Pls read your Bible very well. The Bible says the most high God doesn't stay in houses built by human hands rather it's our hearts that is the presence of God. God dwells in our hearts through his Spirit. Read Acts 17: 24; 1 Corinth 6: 19; Ephesians 3: 17

God is a spirit. He is everywhere. As the bible says "where two or more are gathered in his name, he is there". Let us not erroneously give out ourselves, I dont attend all religious gatherings, but religious gatherings are more often than not fhe only opportunity some people have to hear the gospel and get saved.

We are also instructed not to neglect the gathering of the brethrens.

The testimony of others can build your own faith. Faith cometh by hearing and hearing of the word of God.

The part of personal study was recorded in the book of Timothy were the bible spoke on studying to show thyself approved. It is a personal structure to gain understanding of the word. It dint proclaim self withdrawal. Neither can we as Christians exist in isolation.

That said, we cannot also use the reality of Nigerian Christians to generalize. Christianity is not the same everywhere.


To end, I am not an ardent subsriber of quoting a particular scripture without the precept, but I will reference something from the Book of Jude to help our spiritual understanding of how carnal people understand some things:

Jude 1:10
Yet these men speak abusively against whatever they do not understand; and what things they do understand by instinct, like unreasoning animals--these are the very things that destroy them.

Church in Nigeria is a business venture and Religion is a tool of mind control.
gentlegenius:
Fellow Christians on Nairaland,
If you ask people why they always go to Church, the possible answer will be 'to worship God'. But actually, what does it mean and what does it take to 'worship' God? Is it by being in church to sing and shout during 'worship session'? Anyway, to 'worship God' means to have deep love and reverence(respect & honour) for God. The key words here are love & honour. To love God involves two things: 1. Keeping his commands(John 14:15, 21). 2. Loving our fellow brethrens(1 John 4:20 - 21). Again, Trying to Honour God is futile - He doesn't receive honour from us(John 5:41). We should rather give our honour to men(1Pet 1:7). So do people actually show love and honour to God by singing and shouting in church? Obviously, No. Many church goers sing to God with their lips while their hearts are far away from him. God himself is looking for true worshipers, not church goers(John 4:21-24).
I'm not trying to condemn going to church but The truth is: GOING TO CHURCH IS A LIFELINE WHILE WORSHIPPING GOD IS A LIFESTYLE!

I like your speech but it pained me so much that you've skipped that neighbor that has always being nothing but a good friend of all, well spoken by all and you also know he is a jolly good fellow, or that sister who comes to your door to drop tracts and share the word of God with you... oh! let's not forget that guy that you also know he is a true worshipper like you know your name...

My word is simple, we human rant about the bad and make things we don't like sound like it's plague... tell me you don't like church but stop talking like everyone who goes to church are fake peeps... plus we av fake peeps everywea... mosque, viewer centre, cinemas, even amidst peeps you call friends...

Keeping the Sabbath day holy doesn’t mean going to church on Sundays. God commands us to rest entirely on the Sabbath in order to keep it holy. Read EXODUS 20: 8-11.

God is watching everybody and he searches our hearts not our churches. It is not a sin to stay away from church but it is a sin to forget God. Don't fool yourself, salvation doesn't come from going to church. Jesus said that the tax collectors and the prostitutes will enter the kingdom of God ahead of you(church goer). Read Matthew 21: 31.

Guy don't always judge dis way, remember what is important is ur own service b4 God, u shld b less concern abt who spend d offering or tithes. Do as instructed by holy spirit n go ur way. Remember d bible says we shld not forsake d gathering of d brethren. U are nt even sure u are equally as holy as u think. We are all in d process of perfection n it is nt by work but by grace.
