To talk true, while with my parents my mum makes me go, as a single bachelor banker I didn't go for years, as a married man naa my wife dey force me grin

I believe more in develop a personal relationship with Jesus. The church today discourages rather than encourage me to follow Christ so I rather stay personal with him. A case in reference is d recent suicide of the pastor in benin that impregnated his church member.

Just me.

I go to Church when I feel like. Because I know that the Kingdom of Heaven is in me and I know for a fact that many of our pastors should actually be in Showbiz.


Sometimes I go to entertain myself. Sorry.

[size=15pt]JERRY my junior brother says, "I go to church, especially in London, because there are countless African babes who are not only desperately looking for husbands, but also easily and readily cave in to satisfy my insatiable amorous gratifications, thinking they've got their dream man. No better place to get them in the whole of London." No be me talk am oooooooooooooooo.


As for me, it's an absolute waste of time, energy and resources.[/size]

The same reason, I go to the library to read...
1)In the library I hv people of like minds so there is some encouragement.

The same reason I buy food in the market...
1)The market is particularly dedicated for that purpose, I'm more comfortable buying the quality and variety of things there

God deserves our worship, the least we could do is to spare few hours in a place dedicated to him weekly...

Dos avoiding church amount 2 any tangible sin? Cos i'm sure sinners do not exist, as jesus died for our sins. And i tink dat's d qstion d op shld b askin. No mor sin, live as u like and u'l find ursef in d kingdom of GOD. J' tank u 4 dying for their sin!

@OP;
So simple and the response can not be far fetched, I think

Remember the 'Sabbath Day' to keep it Holy.

I don't go since God is OMNIPRESENT i.e. He is everywhere.
Going to a specific place to worship Him means going back to the days of Old Testament where the "presence" of the God of Israel was being carried around in the Ark of Convenant.
Moreover, Jesus Christ told the Samaritan woman at the well in John 4 that there is no place for worshipping God. Rather

v.24 God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.

Meeting is not necessary in a physical space or building. Nairaland is a meeting place just as other forums for discussing freely.

Different members of the body of Christ can exercise their membership roles in many places and spheres outside a building or organised weekly worship.

In summary, going to a physical place (church) to "worship God, meet with other God's people" is a waste of time that can be better utilised for God's glory towards fellow human beings.

Re: Why Do You Go To Church (Options) ? by werone: 7:14am On Sep 16, 2012
The question here should be "Why do you run from Church to Church?" or "When you knew Christ what changed in your life and why you chose a particular Church?"

Go to church and comment when you return......smileysmiley
Re: Why Do You Go To Church (Options) ? by Nobody: 7:22am On Sep 16, 2012
Blah! Blah! Christianity is nothing more than a cult or fraternity, framed up to make you live a constrained and holy life. Without which those ment to be good would always be good and those for bad would definitely be bad.

Going to Church is a waste of time and resources.

Africans continue to pray and fast to something that isnt there. No wonder we are living in Hell on earth,

Re: Why Do You Go To Church (Options) ? by hardbody: 7:55am On Sep 16, 2012
I virtually attend to satisfy my family. I have always seen hypocrisy across ALL the supposed men of God from Tubercolsis Joshua to Dandy boy Chris Oyakhilome, down to Mike Okonkwo and Ashimolowo, there are all show men and con artistes, but I wont say this to my family. Let Everyman decode and decide when the reality hits them hard. I believe in God though.

Re: Why Do You Go To Church (Options) ? by djeezy(m): 8:32am On Sep 16, 2012
Going to church doesn't make you a christian, any more than standing in your garage makes you a car. Going to church alone is not a guarantee of making heaven. Some go to church for selfish and superficial reasons and do not practice what they preach. If you want to follow God, i beseech you to do so with all your heart.
