On many occasions I've been thinking about this, the bible says "thou shall not forsake the gathering of the brethren"
And in other verses in the bible, some people prayed in their room and their prayer was answered (Daniel and Co).

is it compulsory?

The idea of church and religion are the major problem we have in this country.

Chidorx60:
nothing fails like praying wrongly and amiss,if prayer ever failed you then you didn't pray according to principle.

Tohzara:
People have been going to church to pray for Nigeria before I was born. Yet things got even worse than before.

If Nigeria, as old as she is, is still waiting for the MILLIONS, if not BILLIONS, of prayers said on her behalf to be answered, then whether you go to church or not, you'll have to wait a HUNDRED YEARS for your own incredibly fewer and much less intense prayers to be answered.

So you either get off your ass and take action, or die waiting for God to fulfil your wishes for you.

hopefulLandlord:


Yeah that's the lie you tell yourself every time lol

So you're saying those that are praying for the freedom of Leah Shaibu, the Boko Haram captive, didn't pray according to principle?

Chidorx60:
you are the one who is blinded by you convictions against the existence of God.
, if a prayer prayed according to principle and in line with God doesn't get answered that is for a reason,
your own issue is to know the principle regarding answered prayers

This is exactly what's called "Cognitive Dissonance"

You first told me any prayer that failed is due to praying amiss and praying not according to principle but you've just proven from your reply that prayer can still fail even when asked according to principle lol

"FOR A REASON"

LOL. NONSENSE.

CAPSLOCKED:






"FOR A REASON"

LOL. NONSENSE.

Hakeem12:
Funny enough, I get things done more when I prayed less and acted more. When I stopped being spiritual and started being realistic. When I read less of spiritual books and read more of personal development books, by authors like Robert Greene, Clason, Dale Carnegie etc. Life is practical not mystical.

Chidorx60:
what I wrote was not speaking about a failed prayer,but one that was heard and not answered as a result of the wisdom from above overshadowing man's wisdom,

I know u are an atheist and all,but just get this straight, true prayer never fails bcus the one answering them never fails.don't talk about prayer like a password that has been overruled.

Chidorx60:
yes for a reason and I owe u know explanation.

hopefulLandlord:


Lmao! okay, I can see your cognitive dissonance is stratospheric

CAPSLOCKED:



YOU KNOW IT'S FOR A REASON BUT YOU DON'T KNOW THIS REASON.
YET, YOU BOLDLY DEFEND SOMETHING YOU KNOW NOTHING ABOUT.

hopefulLandlord:


Robert Greene? I hope you're not using those principles on people lol even he doesn't use them

Chidorx60:
"something I know nothing about" you are the one searching for light lost in a realm of indecision and confusion, but I know exactly what am talking about

now about the"REASON " a prayer could be left unanswered even when certain principles have been obeyed, because God is all knowing, he knows what his people need so he may not give them things that may destroy them.and also the answeres may be resisted and an extra supplication is needed to overcome every resistance-in the case of Daniel. so does it make any sense to you? of course it doesn't I live u to ur sick ideology but I pray u come out of it cus this world is just too spiritual to live it carelessly

WHAT'S THE IMPORTANCE OF PRAYERS WHEN THERE'S A 50-50 CHANCE OF BEING ANSWERED? WHY PRAY WHEN GOD IS STILL GOING TO GO ON AND GIVE YOU WHAT'S BEST FOR YOU, INCLUDING GOOD JOBS, MONEY, CANCER, AND POVERTY?

I THOUGHT PEOPLE HAVE DUMPED THE ALL-KNOWING LINE... SO MANY CHAPTERS BETWEEN GENESIS & REVELATION PROVIDES PROOF THAT THIS INVENTED DEITY KNOWS NOTHING AT ALL... (JUST LIKE THE ILLITERATE CATTLE FARMERS WHO WROTE THE BIBLE. COULD EVEN BE THE ANCIENT FULANI HERDSMEN).

I am the one worshiping him, so l am the one to tell you about him.whoever dumped the idea of God being all knowing doesn't understanding him well enough,btw which verse can prove ur claims.

prayer is not a 50%chance you only talking like the spiritual ignoramus u are

CAPSLOCKED:



LET HIM FIND A BETTER COMMUNICATION MEANS... LIKE DOING THE TALKING FOR HIMSELF, BECAUSE PEOPLE LIKE YOU DO THE TASK BADLY.

50-50 CHANCE, TAKE IT OR LEAVE IT.
THAT'S WHY PRAYING TO ANY OF THE GODS AND PRAYING TO A PIECE OF MEAT GIVES SAME RESULTS.


IT'S BETTER TO BE A "SPIRITUAL IGNORAMUS" LIKE YOU CALLED ME, THAN TO BELIEVE A JEWISH MAN DIED FOR YOUR SINS IN A SMALL PART OF THE MIDDLE EAST, AND THE BEST WAY FOR GOD TO LET YOU KNOW THIS IS TO ARM EUROPEANS.. TO COME TAKE YOUR LANDS, RESOURCES, CHILDREN & WOMEN FOR SLAVES, KILL YOUR MEN,.. THEN GIFT YOU THE ABSOLUTE TRUTH; A BIBLE.

Chidorx60:
well you blindness is indeed stunning, but I'll praise you for the way u do the task of ur master the devil,so perfectly although you don't know it.

and if the gift the Europeans gave us after exploiting us was only the bible then they actually did us a huge favour because Africa then was in thick bondage and was not better off anyway. but I don't expect ur type to understand this things

CAPSLOCKED:



PREACHERS PRAY FOR SICK PEOPLE TO GET WELL, WHILE THEY JET ABROAD FOR PROFESSIONAL MEDICAL CARE. THEIR OWN KIDS DON'T EVEN SCHOOL IN THIS COUNTRY... AND THE AVERAGE CHURCH MEMBER CANNOT AFFORD THE FEES OF THE CHURCH'S SCHOOL BECAUSE GOD INSPIRED THE PASTOR TO MAKE IT DAMN HIGH AND EXPENSIVE FOR THE POOR (BECAUSE GOD DOESN'T WANT THE POOR TO GO TO SCHOOL PROBABLY)..

WHO IS FOOLING WHO?

MissRaine69:


If you think Christianity benefited Africa then you are indeed a bigger fool than you realise. It was the very tool used to keep the continent in bondage it’s not mere coincidence that the poorest countries on this planet have one religion in common.

Chidorx60:
people like u should think before they talk,if the Europeans had left africa on her own,do u think any form of civilisation would have been felt,it is because you can use a phone and write in English and because you are not in one thick bush worshipping idols that's why u have the mouth to say you are in bondage and to call me names

CAPSLOCKED:




I JUST REALIZED THAT I'VE BEEN CONVERSING WITH A F00L ALL ALONG.

HOW DARE YOU SAY AFRICA WAS OF NO GOOD BEFORE THE EUROPEANS CAME?

I DON'T HAVE TO GIVE YOU THE HISTORY OF AFRICA.

LIFE AND EDUCATION STARTED IN AFRICA (FAMOUS SCHOLARS LIKE PLATO & PYTHAGORAS CROSSED OCEANS AND DESERTS TO COME AND SCHOOL HERE BECAUSE THE BEST EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTION AS OF THEN WAS IN AFRICA).
THE EUROPEANS HAS DONE AS MUCH AS WIPE OFF MOST OF OUR HISTORY, NOW YOU'RE LETTING THEM WIPE OFF YOUR BRAIN.


LET'S ASSUME AFRICA WAS IN BONDAGE BEFORE WE GOT THE BIBLE, WHAT IMPROVEMENTS HAVE THE BIBLE MADE? WHAT HAS BEEN THE CONTRIBUTION OF THE BIBLE TO OUR MORAL, PHYSICAL, AND ECONOMICAL DEVELOPMENT IN THIS COUNTRY SINCE 1960?

THERE'S ENOUGH EVIDENCE THAT THE FIRST HUMANS LIVED IN AFRICA. CHRISTIANITY AGREES WITH THIS BECAUSE THE EVIDENCE IS UNDENIABLE, BUT YOUR BIBLE TALKED ABOUT ONE ADAM AND EVE.. AND ABRAHAM AND BETHLEHEM... NOT BECAUSE IT'S THE ABSOLUTE TRUTH, BUT BECAUSE THOSE STORIES WERE WRITTEN BY AND FOR THE PEOPLE OF THAT PARTICULAR REGION. WE HAVE NO BUSINESS WITH THEIR TRADITIONAL STORIES SAME WAY WE HAVE NO BUSINESS WITH THE SCOTTISH FOLKLORE OR THE MAYAN TALES.

ROME USED ITS OPPORTUNITY WELL WITH THE BIBLE AND THAT'S WHY WE'RE HERE TODAY. IF THEY HAD USED THE CELTIC OR NORSE BOOKS TO POLITICALIZE EVERYTHING I'M SURE YOU'LL BE HERE ARGUING WITH ME HOW THOR DIED FOR YOUR SINS.. AND HOW I SHOULD REPENT AND JOIN YOU IN ASGARD.
