A significant number of black people have woken up and liberated from the scam of Abrahamic religion i.e Christianity and islam

If you still practice any of the two Abrahamic religion, its time you wake up and ditch that slave master's history book.

Have you asked yourself with number of churches and mosque in Nigeria and the amount of prayers offered, the country is very backward and not working?

If we can conclude anything, it is that the prayers aren't working.


If the prayers they offer works, Nigeria will be heaven on earth by now considering the number of churches on every inch and corner of Nigeria.

If 80% of the buildings used as worship centers are turned to factories, do you know how much it will contribute to Nigeria's economy?


The blind man told the pharisees that God does not answer the prayers of the wicked and the same book also stated that the prayers of the wicked are an abomination to God. Jeremiah said we are not empowered to commit evil because we attend church and the bible asked if we are permitted to sin because we are under grace?

You guys just misinterpret the Bible to mislead people. The Bible NEVER mentioned gowns, scarf , trousers, etc. What God said is that men shouldn’t dress in women clothing and women shouldn’t dress in men clothing. What constitutes men or women clothing is dependent on each culture, but one commonality is that each culture clearly differentiates men and women clothing.
Ref Deut 22:5
A woman shall not wear anything that pertains to a man, nor shall a man put on a woman's garment, for all who do so are an abomination to the LORD your God.

TheAdvocate:


In Bible times, both men and women wore gowns and scarf don't misled him please. When David was dancing & they saw his unclothedness, it was because he wore a gown and NOT a trouser.

Happy sunday nairalanders.
I moved to a new area(Student area) and decided to attend a nearby church.

These are what I noticed.

-- I was the only one that used scarf.Even the choristers and the female ministers didn't use scarf.
--Almost all the female members are putting on trousers,ladies that put on gowns/skirt are not up to 20%.
I was even surprised that the two female ministers and the female choristers also put on trouser to climb the church alter.

--During prayer intersection,I noticed everybody were praying in tongues and it seems am the only person not filled with the holy spirit to speak in tongues.
Even when we were asked to pray on our offering,people still prayed in tongues.

And it just seems I'm odd among them or is it that am not modernized?
What is modernization? And where in the Bible did scarf tying become a church doctrine? The covering of head is not even a church doctrine in the Bible. Read 1 Corinthians 11:16

Re: Modernization In The Church! I Felt Odd by remsonik(f): 9:16pm On Jul 02, 2023
I have been to a church in Allen like that and I experienced same. They don't cover their heads or dress decently. They speak in tongues and when one person speaks someone will translate it to the members.

Their service doesn't end on Sunday early but till late at night around 10pm. They just take a 2 hours break after morning service between 3pm-5pm before they start the evening service. Even you will see cross dressers in the church

1. Go and start reading your bible
2. Listen to Christian messages. I'll recommend apostle Joshua selman's messages.
3. Grow spiritually and know God.
4. Attend the church you feel you're welcome and they preaching Jesus christ.
5. You have no business with how anyone dresses in the church. It's you and God.
6. Do you think you will find answers coming on nairaland?? You will only be discouraged and you will draw far away from God

In the next 50-100 years Christianity will be odd itself. Christianity rules is defined by the odds of society.

When the society was sane, the Christianity was sane. As society started changing with odds so do Christianity.

Very soon LGBT will be norm too.

When TV came, some said it's devil box, today they use it in all their churches. Sane with phone and social media. This is rvide6that wr cannot define Good or bad, my mere judgement of our head only. But This is what we have today


And that's the problem of a people without rules or standard. That's why Islam 6just beautiful. With rules and standard. The modalities, practises of the mosque is same and not modernity will change it. It's Good, because the rule will prevent odds of society.

Some of you dont just get it, i wonder why.

The Nigerian people aren't productive. We just pray and believe and expect things to work out without putting in the work.

Someone who has been brainwashed and indoctrinated from childhood that his primary assignment here is to go to heaven will not even think about doing research that will lead to innovation and invention which will in turn bring prosperity to the land.

You think the prosperity of other nations was spawned by their government?
When the mindset of the vast population is right, trust me so many things will fall in place.
You dont need to pray for what you can use your brain to get.

Our people needs to know that we need to get down to work with our brain and solve problems which will in turn bring prosperity.
But then which brain are we going to use right now? The one that has been indoctrinated to only believe in prayers?
what we have is a leadership problem ,if you remove all the churches and mosques it won't change anything except we have pragmatic leaders at the helm.
Nigeria is blessed with talented and resourceful individuals but the government and its policies make a mess of everything.

where in the Bible did men pray with their heads covered? Why did Paul who was so versatile with the law advise the Corinthian church to have the men's head covered while praying?? Read 1st Corinthians 11 thoroughly.

Read Exodus 28. Emphasis on verse 4

Read Exodus 28. Emphasis on verse 4

that is a description for a priestly attire. In the old testament a priest goes into the holy of holies on behalf of others to commune directly with God. Now we have high priest, Jesus who have torn the garment of separation so no need for such attire again. Anywhere you see it, it's just symbolic. It's wrong for men to pray with their heads covered.

God bless u very much

Imagine someone up there saying they have a school for speaking in tongues

Imagine what these charlatans in robe have turned Christianity to for crying out loud
Most of the "Men of God" this days don't that they are very much like the Pharisees that Christ criticized.

Listen to what Jesus said to his the Crowds and his disciples concerning the Scribes and the Pharisees in Mathew 23: 1-12 and tell me of don't see the similarities

From the Good news bible translation:
Then Jesus spoke to the crowds and to his disciples. ²"The teachers of the Law and the Pharisees are the authorized interpreters of Moses' Law. ³So you must obey and follow everything they tell you to do; do not, however, imitate their actions, because they don't practice what they preach. ⁴They tie on to people's backs loads that are heavy and hard to carry, yet they aren't willing even to lift a finger to help them carry those loads. ⁵THEY DO EVERYTHING SO THAT PEOPLE WILL SEE THEM. LOOK AT THE STRAPS WITH SCRIPTURE VERSES ON THEM WHICH THEY WEAR ON THEIR FOREHEADS AND ARMS, AND NOTICE HOW LARGE THEY ARE! NOTICE ALSO HOW LONG ARE THE TASSLES ON THEIR CLOAKS! ⁶They love the best places at feasts AND THE RESERVED SEATS AT THE SYNAGOGUE; ⁷THEY LOVE TO BE GREETED WITH RESPECT IN THE MARKET PLACES AND TO BE CALLED 'TEACHER'. ⁸ You must not be called 'Teacher', because you are all members of one family and have only one Teacher. ⁹ And you must not call anyone here on earth 'FATHER', because you have only the one Father in heaven.¹⁰ Nor should you be called 'Leader', because your one and only leader is the Messiah. ¹¹ THE GREATEST ONE AMONG YOU MUST BE YOUR SERVANT. ¹² Whoever makes himself great will be humbled, and whoever humbles himself will be made great.

This verses in the bible highlights the characters of most of the Men of God today.

Lol. If you’re not a priest as a Christian, what then are you? Yes, Jesus is out High Priest and the veil is torn once and for all. That’s why I said, what to wear and what not to wear are doctrinal issues, with the baseline being moderacy.

People that grew up in “old” Pentecostal church like TAC and CAC consider it a sin that a female wear trouser ,use powder ,wear ear rings etc . Therefore they find it odd that when they see other Pentecostal churches do all these and most time consider them odd/not holy enough to make heaven etc .

One of the disadvantages of breaking away from Catholic Church is that everyone has their own doctrine but consider other doctrines not acceptable to God . Neglecting the fact that culture have great effects on biblical lifestyle and other doctrine lifestyles.

Imagine saying a woman should not wear supposed men’s cloth and vice versa but some cultures like the Arab have their men wearing gown ,Scotland and some Scandinavian and South South people of Nigeria have their men wearing robe which apparently belongs to women in most other culture .

One of the reasons I let go of religion is because everyone is claiming to be right and the probability of one of them being right is negligible because high percentage of people will be on the losing side and I wonder why an omniscient God will create people just to make them lose in the long run .
which disadvantage, like Catholic nor get their doctrine which dey imposed with d sword

This is what modern pastors have used to scam and deceive people. Amd this this what people, especially our youths and women love to hear. That's why you see a lot of crowd in these churches cos they don't want to hear the truth which will scare them. They want a pastor that will assure them that dressing on a mini skirt doesn't matter, but what you have in the heart.

How can you dress in a way that is secually provocative if your intention isn't to get attention?

Are you going to church for fashion or to serve God?

Honestly I feel that these people are deceiving themselves. It's better to sit at home and go to church when you truly mean to serve God.
but in d end,u can't server God frm home
