Its good to force children to church.
But when they become teens, they should v gotten the understanding of going to church and they should not be forced at that stage.

Ones they get to church, they have forgotten How they were forced to be there. They shout all books of Bible, learn memory verse.
They will still come home and tell u What they learnt.

OP, a child cannot be held responsible for his or her action. Force that pikin go church jor, if e mean to thrash him bum bum, do am. As long as e follow u. When he or she becomes an adult, they can choose what they want then. Infact, if u lead a child well in attending church n paying rapt attention, that child will thank u when he or she grows up.

Many people who go to church do not know the meaning of the scriptures. They only stick to what their half-literate pastors teach. Religion should be by choice and not by force for everyone, including children. Nigerians need more enlightenment in this regard.

You may use a little force when they are still young. But there definitely will come a time when they will be responsible for their own actions.

I come from a very religious home so going to church is not negotiable, As i recently turned agnostic i haven't been to church for quite some time and My mum kinda noticed that . She NO dey allow me rest again,always saying that d devil don capture me. The whole thing is beginning to pissed me off. I will never force My own kids to go to church ,let them grow up and make there choices

But....don't fail to keep encouraging them. You can't afford to give up totally.

The most boring line I hear often is this "train up a chil in the way he should go...." I was trained to go to church dutifully, as a child I participated in different church programme, conversant with the bible, won various bible competitions sword drills, survival of the fittest... Long story short, I don't go to church again. Tell me I wasn't trained in the way I should go!

No sir, I don't force them to go to church- they go willingly, all because I made them understand the importance of going to church as early as possible. I would have gladly forced them to go if need be.
We can't reject the gathering of believers.

Of course!! You must force them. You expect them to submit to brainwashing without putting up any form of resistance?

The bible says in the book of proverbs that foolishness is in the heart of every child, but the rod of discipline drives it away.

Every Sunday, many parents remind their children of the obligation to go 'church'. Any child who refuses to go is blackmailed, screamed at, abused and sometimes even beaten.

So my question is , if the bible says we should not provoke our children and since God is also tender with his children, why do parents use brute force to make many children go to church against their own will and then use the basics of life like shelter and money to threaten them if they fail to comply ?

Is this productive ? Could this be the reason why such families / homes are 'manufacturing' more atheists/agnostics/unfundamental Christians than those from other backgrounds?

Is a child going to church evidence that he is a Christian ?

Comments welcome.
all said is rubbish! Yo thinking faculty is low! So church isnt compulsory??

I will force them when at a premature age but when they are old enough they would be responsible to themselves, I will only be giving advises by then.
