Wow ! This is serious business .....
Jesus will weep for this ......

And what is wrong in using technology in the church? TV monitors, sophisticated sound system and communication equipment etc used in churches is of no interest to the Op and his ilks. Of course, when it comes giving money WILLINGLY, it becomes an issue.

Jesu! Brethren, this is my idea. I will advice you do it in nigeria alone.

I tried that in the uk and was banned.

Weh done

We should all remember what Jesus did when he met people carrying out transactions in the temple
But these people will preach otherwise

in my opinion, I dnt think its wrong cos some people go cashless really. I know a man who never has any currency on him anywhere u find him instead, he takes his ATM cards along everywhere just because he feels its gonna help u save more.

Good morning nairalanders and happy first sunday to you.
Some few days ago, I stumbled upon this picture online.
It is a church using Point of sale POS for collection of their offering and tithes.
My question is that, is it right or wrong or modern civilisation?

My church uses pos. It is located at the back of the church. No one parades the pos machine around. After service, make your way to the back, pay and go. I have never ever felt it was out of place. Quality of God's message still on point.

We are living in a technology driven society. Members of the church are not in complete idolation from the world. Less and lesser people carry cash these days. No one is happy to stand st an ATM for ages. People scroll through their bible apps in church while reading the bible. People pay offering via *737# or directly from their banking app during offering time. I see it all the time so I'm used to it. But then again maybe its just my church

My question is will we never stop talking about this issue of money and the church ?

eph12:

Is cars or aeroplane in the Bible? Do we have modernized houses in the Bible?

Ask me more foolish questions please

Why didn't you call it witchcraft?

I don't understand, has science created man already?

yes sir, via evolution

Na wa o

This one weak me..

truth is, the original prupose of the Church (salvation, helping d poor in Christ, preaching peace n unity among us, marriage, etc) has been digressed with making making members part with their money. Eg tithe, offerings, sow seed, first fruit, convenant offering, partnership, pledge, bla bla bla

legislatively:

I'm amazed you don't know people go to school to learn how to make things like cars. I'm surprised you see it as a mystery or one of the wonders of the world

Can you point me to the factory or place where humans are produced?

wow.... and a Muslim can comment freely on this trend.... NAIRALAND!!!!! THIS IS UNFAIR O

trustyshoess:

Dude salvation is personal. Don't judge your chances of making heaven by looking to other people cos you might easily go with them wherever they go. Use the word of God as a mirror for yourself, are you living righteously?doing God's will? etc. dont make that mistake bro

I can't say am righteous, I can't say am evil either... I hope God will close His eyes to my imperfections n forgive me ma little sins

We no longer have better news to read,thanks to Freezer...no one is forcing people to use the POS though

May God have mercy on you ....

Why have all these hunger-and-greed-led pastors continue to bastardize and commercialize christendom

This picture depicts exactly what occurs which made Jesus declare that they have turned his father's house to den of robbers and place for sellers and buyers

There's nothing like yahoo plus.

Just say you don't believe in it... not that it doesn't exist

Please, be careful what what bring to social media place. Leave the things of the church in the church plssssssssss.

To their God they are wrong or right, me and you and any other mortal being are too small to do these things we have found ourselves doing these days.

Judgment is REAL!

Save your head.

Heavenly POS. It is much better since the church workers cannot steal while counting. This goes directly to God’s bank Account where he used it to ... err... He ....

I'm praying for my church to buy one....I can' avoid those ATM queue

clefstone:
don't think collecting money thru POS is wrong, it's only technology

...

Right Sir, people will not want to say that the proceeds of technology we enjoy today started from great minds raised by the church yesterday. Think about Galileo Galilei, ( used lamp hung in church to gerkt the idea of pendulum, Isaac Newton , he wrote exposition on Daniel, Michael Faraday, the Father of electricity; Lord Kelvin. What is wrong in church enjoying the technology?

I agree with you but the thing is you aren't under any obligations to give money if you don't want to because in the first place if you can't give cheerfully, the bible says don't even give. If you go to a church and they start telling you its by force to give. Port to where you are comfortable with their rate of taking money.

issokay..churches av turned to "chuchrite"...nw its pos..very soon we will see ATM on churches..churches are now malls..Pastorprenuers..wehdone zirs

The most lucrative business center in Nigeria to day are the churches even has more attendants at any time T than Shop Rites and as it is even designed by them they make sure it is tax free.
