Lots of copycat imitation going on. The muslims daily 5 times-a-day mosque attendance is nowadays imitated in daily fellowships by some xtians, the same way some muslims now celebrate birthday of their religious figures in imitation of xmas. Tourists going to Jerusalem call it pilgrimage and on return adopt JP in imitation of hajj pilgrimage and the title of "Alhaji". You see cutting of wedding cakes in Muslim marriage ceremonies in imitation of xtians. Etc, Etc. 1 Like |

Lot of people attend church today for their own selfish interest.Some attend for bizness purposes while some attend to catch with old and new boddies.The real crux of offering a true worship to God is not paramount in today's 9ja churches. It's expedient to be in the assemblies of believers but it doesn't have to be in a church or cathedral. JustMyopiNi on! |

"There is a great host of preachers who have literally cast aside the message of the cross of Jesus Christ! Be warned: It doesn't matter what anyone tells you about a great "revival" or moving of the Spirit taking place; it doesn't matter how many multitudes are involved, or how loud their praises are; it doesn't matter how "successful" a particular ministry may appear to be. If the cross of Jesus Christ is not the door through which people come, you can rest assured - it is not a work of God!" ==> David Wilkerson, Author of The "Cross and the Switchblade" in 1996 <== 3 Likes |

I really appreciate pple's views here.churchgoing is necessary but i don't think its compulsory,4 those of u who want to put ur mouth here act like men.READ MATTEW 6:5-"And when u pray,u must nt b like d hyprocrites;4 they love 2 stand nd pray in d synagogues nd at d street corners,that they may be seen by men.Truly,I say 2 u,they av received their reward.But wen u pray,go into ur room nd shut d door and pray to ur Father who is in secret;and ur Father who sees in secret wil reward u" 1 Like |

Or you just noticed? Besides, how other people worship their God now disturbs your religion? Smh. To educate you.. The bible instructed all brethren to 'pray without ceasing'. Besides you don't go to God only sundays, there's no law to that effect. |

So Christians fervency in church attendance is why Boko-haram decided to wipe out Nigeria? So many mis-conceptions, owing to religion. Smh |

Re: Is Church Attendance Compulsory? by Nobody: 11:56am On Jan 06, 2013 |
pinkrex:everything mandatory or compulsory in the catholic church is not written in the bible, for example a catholic must confess at least one time during the year esp the during important period like nativity, assumption etc.confession as a whole is not even mentioned in the bible. another example is the list of vices and virtues both aren't mentioned in the bible but are followed. is the pope mentioned in the bible? in few words not everything is mentioned in the bible that's why we have a church law/code. to answer your question i can't show any reference to that cause here isn't none that i know anyway.. |

And history has it that some earliest Roman traditions were embedded in the Roman Catholic church (constantinopian) et al.. That same issue borne our Protestant churches under Martin Lurther. I'm a bible believing Christian and traditions can't take me to heaven. However, its rather irrational to use a 'sect' in Christianity as a conventional standard. |

Re: Is Church Attendance Compulsory? by Nobody: 12:14pm On Jan 06, 2013 |
pinkrex:since Christians are divided there is no things such as general church attendance, different philosophy different mindset. so for a catholic it is mandatory to go the church. for a protestant and others christians well i don't know. |

Joagbaje:kindly give us the name of the church you want us to be attending from today because when last i checked, we have over 50 different type of churches. I have being wondering whats the different between them all? If all the churches has one sole agenda to convert men back to GOD, why do we have many of them? Is church a political party?. During the time of the apostles as you said, how many churches do they have then and what are their names? i mean the name(s) of the churches. |
