Reason I Stopped Going To Church by psp2pc(m): 9:01am On May 21, 2017
I have stopped going to Church for a while now cause whenever I go to church to hear the word of God, all I need up hearing is preaching of giving and giving to God in order to be blessed.
I have changed church like 3 times, it's all the same!
Most pentecostal churches no longer preach the true word of God, only word of prosperity and blessing.
I miss the true word of God.
is it the same in your own church?

I have a problem with the insincerity of religion in general and someone telling me how I'm supposed to live my life.

but it's now turning to a mockery of the gullible.
and am sure there are less faithfuls in the church as most are just after what they can get from God and not to serve God perse.

A broom will convey dat lesson better

most churches preach about giving than salvation. altar call isn't same thing as preaching of salvation. I have been to over 3 different Pentecostal churches and I know what am talking about. in the past it wasn't like this. I am not talking about churches that are just springing up, I am talking about mega churches with HQ and branches worldwide. even @ their HQ, they preach mostly on giving to God all the time. even though they speak about salvation they still somehow twist the word to point that you still have to give to God even after been saved to be blessed.
am I lying?

Why dont u stick to one and know wat the church is all about. NO church preached giving more dan my church BLW but wen it comes to salvation they win thousands of soul just in one meeting. U don't just go to a church one or twice and conlude.
Deeperlife dnt center on giving so u can join dem. Its still d same body of Christ. No excuses

You don't go to church because all you hear in service is preaching of giving and giving to God! ... Bros ao fa nau! ...which kain excuse b dis now?

If yuar broke there is nothing wrong in going to church n paying the little yu have into the basket during offering time!

...some people even just fold their hands n dropAHandfulOfWellDocumentedEmptyHair into the basket

not because they are stingy but because they have little n dat doesn't discourage them from going to church since they are there to listen to the message n renew their ThrillingFaith every Sunday!

I should remain in a church when their doctrine isn't in line with what I perceive is right?
and let me tell you the winning of thousands of soul is just a numerical gimmick , how many of the soul won continues in the way of the lord.
during this mega services when they make altar calls, I see thousands rushing out but at the end of the day, how many really sincerely gives their life to christ?
that's aside when was the last time u won a soul for Christ?

I am not against giving of tithes or offering, but what I am against is hammering mostly on giving than dishing out the undiluted word of God.
I think deeper life and MFM may be different and really preach on the word of God than on tithes and offering, but for Lord Chosen, I laugh in Greek, let's not go there.!

Even if its only one dat is retained out of d thousands THERE IS STILL JOYOUS CELEBRATION IN HEAVEN. Jesus didn't say there will only be celebration wen d won soul is retained, He made it clear d celebration begins immediately u win d soul.
Tnx for asking me how many souls i have won, its a healthy competition. But i wont say. Life is personal, soul winning is important, whether i win a soul or not is not ur business. Go and win urs

I go to church to hear the word of God, not to hear the word of giving and giving only.
let's take for example Jehovah's witness, we may have conflicting views about our doctrines, but I think the practise what Christianity should be like. come together share the word of God, reach out to people....they don't focus on the message of giving to God all the time..how I know this is cause I have JW friends.
after their meeting, they have their offering basket at the back of the kingdom hall,after meeting whatever you have to give to God is what you drop in.
in some churches it is an offence and you can be sanctioned if you a church worker and you don't give your tithe.
Giving to God should be voluntary and not compulsory.
and most churches now are just social gatherings venue..

Yes bruh! You shouldn't let other fanatic members adhere you from your true aim,I know you seek spiritual growth which is crucial for every man but the above mentioned churches are the ones I've noticed that makes you forget about the outside world and connect with the higher dimension,you can try white garment churches I've heard they're good but not really attended,goodluck.

Sure that single soul out of thousands would be created in the heavenly realm. but stop giving the impression that all the thousands saved are automatically a new creature and have won permanent citizenship of heaven.
many thing wrong with Christendom nowadays, and once you voice out your views,observations,opinion and criticism, fanatics regard you as devil possessed.

OP, what exactly do you want to hear from the pastor?

Op, contact one of the Jehovah's witnesses in your area, attend their service and if you are not satisfied, stay at home and pray to God on ur own

anytime I drive or board bus and pass their HQ at Ijesha B/stop on my way to work, I just wonder the kind of brainwashing these people have been subjected to that makes them act like possessed persons.
Seeing the radical and *nuisancical* way they envagelise, I give up on them.
pardon me to say the members allow appear wretched although not all, I have had encounter with them multiple times.
one guy going to oshodi from their church, he didn't tell the conductor no money in his pocket, he just sat down. when the conductor asked for money, the guy started quoting Bible. if not for one man that paid his fare, the conductor has already pulled one shoe and seized his Bible.
2nd. one woman with 4 kids entered bus, only wanted to pay for 1 seat and started sharing her children among the passengers that they should help lap them..
whereas they can afford to buy that green uniform they wear at any amount their G. O is selling it to them...

Try the old institutionalized churches - Anglican, Orthodox, SDA. They have a strict guideline to follow and are controlled from HQ so strange doctrine would not easily get in.
