Is It Right For Churches To Celebrate Cultural Day In Church? by Nobody: 8:03am On May 20, 2018 |
This trend has been going on for years in Catholic churches but one can only look aside on any thing pertaining Roman catholic idealogies of their long aged magnitude of haphazard kind of worship. But recently Redeemed churches too joined the age lond trend and the occassion is a sight to behold seeing different people with cultural attires displaying all manner of antics in church. A man even demonstrated some usage of charms and herbs on stage citing it as a cultural believe before christianity and at the end cultural dance was exhibited by various groups. My question is,"where has some of these churches lost it? 1 Like 1 Share |

First of all @ OP, The Catholic way of worship is "haphazard" as you claim, so please note this correction. To your topic, cultural celebration in the Church is very ideal & good because each & everyone of use Nigerians has a tribe & all tribes has its own uniqueness. We should all be proud to celebrate our culture in all place in as much as that culture is not glorifying Satan. 62 Likes 3 Shares |

Yes it is, It actually shows that we are thanking God for our diversity. We first had culture before we even became Christians. Christianity does not erase our culture, instead it validates them. My church even takes it further, On our cultural day, you are either expected to come with your native food, dress like your village's masquerade or bring a charm. As long as it is to the glory of God, it doesn't matter. (1 Cor. 10: 26-31). 56 Likes 6 Shares |

Why would a mod move this piece of trash to front page. The op was clearly insulting Catholics and the mods validated it by moving it to front page.If the diabolical church you attend wear weird clothes and display charms, please note that catholics don't do it. If I were to insult or rather say some ugly truths about Islam, would the mods push it to front page? ;heck! I might even been given 3 months ban. Mynd44 take note of this. 72 Likes 5 Shares |

Lilisticlili: What exactly is that statement supposed to mean? Haphazard kind of worship? No. It's just plain wrong. Because you don't understand something doesn't make it "haphazard". Do not just judge from the outside. Have you ever attended a single Catholic mass in your life. I was once attending Redeem but I went to the Catholic church once and never went back. I was awed. At least in the Catholic Church there is no stress on tithing and other mundane form of extortion to enrich the Priest like in Redeem. And what is the issue with cultural day? Have you no culture? What is bad if the church decides to promote culture? One unique thing about the Catholic church is they always try to fuse or highlight the culture of the people with whom they reside. If that is what you term as "magnitude haphazard kind of worship", then I can only pay that one say you come to your senses and realise the grave error you committed by the statement. Funny thing is the one-man-business Pentecostal churches keeps fighting the Catholic church and never get a reply. That speaks volume. Like when Christ admonished us to turn the other cheek. In my church on cultural day everyone is expected to dress in their cultural attire. Certain hymns are rendered in various native tongues. Then, at times, there is a minifeast after mass with people identifying by their culture. If you or your Pentecostal pastors think there's a problem with that then you all are mentally deranged. So "we have lost it" by choosing to celebrate our culture? It is mental slaves like you that the white man likes. I bet you bear 2 English names and have never been to your village. But you would want to have an English wedding even tho it has no place in the Bible and is purely a European thing? Smh. People like you are the reasons why Africa won't grow. You feel being developed means doing away with your culture but that very thing can seriously hinder development. Why do you think Asians are getting it right? Emancipate yourself from mental slavery. Because you're a born again Pentecostal doesn't mean you sacrifice commonsense on the altar of pleasing your pastor. 97 Likes 13 Shares |

HeyCorleone: OH.... THE IRONY. WANTED TO PASS BUT.. COULDN'T RESIST.
- THE CATHOLIC CHURCH COLLECTS TITHE. - THE CATHOLIC CHURCH COLLECT OFFERINGS EVERY SUNDAY, YOU'LL HEAR THINGS LIKE FIRST COLLECTION, SECOND COLLECTION, THIRD COLLECTION.. AND SOMETIMES "SPECIAL COLLECTION". ALL THIS DURING A SINGLE MASS. THE CATHOLIC CHURCH DOESN'T COME OUT STRAIGHT TO DEMAND FOR COINS BUT USES SUPREME TECHNIQUES TO EXTORT IT'S MEMBERS. - YOU MUST REALLY BE A CHILD TO THINK THAT THE CATHOLIC CHURCH IS NOT A ONE-MAN BUSINESS. ALL THE CATHOLIC CHURCHES IN THE WORLD SENDS MOST OF THEIR MONEY MONTHLY/YEARLY TO ROME. OR HAVEN'T YOU HEARD ANYTHING ABOUT "TARGET"? THE CHURCHES ARE MANDATED TO MEET THIS OR THAT TARGET MONTHLY.. THAT'S WHY THEY'RE ALWAYS DEMANDING THIS AND THAT OFFERINGS UP TO FOUR COLLECTIONS PER MASS. AT THE END THEY SEND ALL THE MONEY TO THE DIOCESE.. THEN TO ROME THROUGH THE APPROPRIATE CHANNEL. THIS IS ORGANIZED SLAVERY. BLACK MAN SENDING MONEY FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE WHITEMANS VATICAN CITY... WHILE OUR OWN LANDS STAY POOR... IN THE NAME OF RELIGION. RUMOR HAS IT THAT THE VALUE OF GOLD IN THE VATICAN IS ENOUGH TO FEED THE ENTIRE AFRICAN CONTINENT FOR A CENTURY. YOU FAILED AT PAINTING PENTECOSTAL PEOPLE BAD, WHATEVER THEY DO WAS BORROWED FROM YOUR BELOVED CATHOLIC CHURCH. 12 Likes 2 Shares |

Culture is simply a way of way. What you do the same way everyday is your culture of doing that stuff. So churches can celebrate good,godly cultures to imbibe in it's members sense of morality, responsibility,virtue etc. Unfortunately in Africa,when we hear culture,we think of masquerade,juju and palm wine lol 2 Likes |

There is nothing wrong with it. The headquarters of the catholic church is not where it is founded. Going by your logic, all the European culture that has become part of church doctrine is sinful because it is not Jewish culture. Christianity borrows from the culture of the land of its followers. Most of what you practice as a christian is European culture, if you're orthodox; or American Evangelistic culture, if you are a Pentecostal believer. |
