If it glorifies God, no problem but if it does glorify Satan... NO NO NO

Look at this one calling Catholic church style of worship haphazard. So, the normal worship is that madness you people display by jumping and dancing up and down and screaming an entire neighbourhood down in the name of prayer?

Every other religion is known for praying in silence, both Muslims, Buddhists and even Hindus, but it is only Christianity that has some people acting like they are in a psychiatric home in the name of worship and you think the Catholic church is haphazard

No wonder you created such an idiotic topic. Throw your father's culture away because you want to uphold another man's culture. Slave

But you celebrate white Man's wedding style inside the church.Let it be known to you that the white wedding is the culture of the whites, an enculturation for you to lay away your own cultural heritage. Colossians 2:16-17:Therefore let no one pass judgment on you in questions of food and drink, or with regard to a festival or a new moon or a Sabbath. These are a shadow of the things to come, but the substance belongs to Christ.

martineverest:
ask urself this question:is it right to have white wedding in church?

white wedding is a culture of Europeans , usually done in church....then appreciating out culture in church isn't wrong...


btw,did Bible ask us to dress in European attire only?

And again a Muslim who should be thinking of how to leave the earth quickly to enjoy his 72virgins is here poking nose into wat is not his business.
I thought u should be fasting and slapping ur forehead on the ground with a greater velocity in order to create maximum impulse. SO WAT ARE U DOING HERE?

Yes, because there is culture before religion exists and we cant rule culture out of religion.

Quoting from mat 24 vs 14
Cultural day in the church is a way of bringing all nations to Christ.e.g like Igbo's, Yoruba, Hausa,Igala,.etc.
#so it never a wrong thing.

NwaAmaikpe:



Yes it is,
It actually shows that we are thanking God for our diversity. We first had culture before we even became Christians. Christianity does not erase our culture, instead it validates them.

My church even takes it further,
On our cultural day, you are either expected to come with your native food, dress like your village's masquerade or bring a charm.

As long as it is to the glory of God, it doesn't matter.
(1 Cor. 10: 26-31).

This trend has been going on for years in Catholic churches but one can only look aside on any thing pertaining Roman catholic idealogies of their long aged magnitude of haphazard kind of worship.


Why would a mod move this piece of trash to front page.

The op was clearly insulting Catholics and the mods validated it by moving it to front page.If the diabolical church you attend wear cultural clothes and display charms, please not that catholics don't do it.

If I were to insult or rather say some ugly truths about Islam, would the mods push it to front page? ;heck! I might even been given 3 months ban.

Mynd44 take note of this.

In trying to defend your faith, you started attacking islam that was never meant to be in this discussion... See where your problem is.... Face your front and fight ur own battles...

as long as it is the yoruba(skull miners), fulani or hausa denomic, babaric and evil cultures, it is not ALLOWED! Their cultures are setback to national development.

we igbos have a very peaceful, God loving and biblical culture. We are therefore allowed to celebrate our beautiful culture in church and anywhere else

Flat head spotted, can u please receive brain before you limp forward to comment rubbish, useless BISlAFRAUD! people, Okija shrine na good culture in ur shallow and myopic thinking way abi

in naija nothing impossible...in transmission transfussion of cultural activities.

RadicallyBlunt:

But this culture u advice us to be proud of includes conjuring some idol demons.

To my understanding, he meant that the dressing part and languages and not conjuring idols.

Op came out this early morning to insult a religious body trying to buttress an unnecessary opinion and seek our validation, typical hypocritical christian...abeg go sleep.

Deltayankeeboi:
says who?

It's a church not a cultural centre

Says the bible

Thank u, they meander into Muslim tread , saying all sort of rubbish, in their own treads they will never desist from mentioning Islam, always finding a way to cause mayhem, don't know their problem with Islam.

Is that what Jesus taught us to do in the church??.. U might as well do ur traditional wedding in the church celebrate ur traditional ways in ur traditional manner

That is why some you wear suit,coat and sort of oyinbo wears to church in a very hot weather..do you want to describe your parent accentral homes with your left hand because foreign religion?..Our cultural is rich bros

Your culture comes before the white man's religion. Don't see anything wrong in celebrating cultural day in churches..

Lemme quote the op. This is what she said

Lilisticlili:

A man even demonstrated some usage of charms and herbs on stage citing it as a cultural believe before christianity and at the end cultural dance was exhibited by various groups.

Sarang:


It's a church not a cultural centre

Says the bible

So why celebrate weddings at all in a church?

Same Bible never talked about marriage in a church. It's wholly between the bride's parents. Thru out the whole Bible only Traditional and Court marriage were emphasized.

And wtf is a cultural centre? Your pastor puts on a suit and tie. Isn't it European? Smh. Your hypocrisy is second to none.

redangel2017:

Nigga stfu.

You celebrate the white man's traditional marriage in a church already. So? Yesterday you watched the Royal Wedding - that is European culture. Funny thing is such wedding is repeated in churches around Nigeria every Saturday. Another man's culture. And you have a problem with celebrating your own culture in church?

It's just inferiority complex that makes you think celebrating cultural day in the church is wrong.

This is cultural fiesta in st Jospeh major seminary Ikot Ekpene. Now you can goan die

CAPSLOCKED:




OH.... THE IRONY.

Ok

to answer this question first of all define CULTURE AND DAY

Deltayankeeboi:

we igbos have a very peaceful, God loving and biblical culture. We are therefore allowed to celebrate our beautiful culture in church and anywhere else

Abeg pass me da ganja,I wan feel iree like you too jare.

After the cultural display in the church where would you spend your eternity?have you sit down and ask your self this question are you preparing your soul after this life, have you counted the cost if your soul should be lost, life after death is real try and repent and set your ways toward eternal life.

Lilisticlili:

But recently Redeemed churches too joined the age lond trend and the occassion is a sight to behold seeing different people with cultural attires displaying all manner of antics in church.
A man even demonstrated some usage of charms and herbs on stage citing it as a cultural believe before christianity and at the end cultural dance was exhibited by various groups.

My question is,"where has some of these churches lost it?

Inferiority complex coupled with ignorance

HeyCorleone:


What exactly is that statement supposed to mean?

Haphazard kind of worship?

No. It's just plain wrong. Because you don't understand something doesn't make it "haphazard". Do not just judge from the outside. Have you ever attended a single Catholic mass in your life.

I was once attending Redeem but I went to the Catholic church once and never went back. I was awed.

At least in the Catholic Church there is no stress on tithing and other mundane form of extortion to enrich the Priest like in Redeem.

And what is the issue with cultural day? Have you no culture? What is bad if the church decides to promote culture?

One unique thing about the Catholic church is they always try to fuse or highlight the culture of the people with whom they reside. If that is what you term as "magnitude haphazard kind of worship", then I can only pay that one say you come to your senses and realise the grave error you committed by the statement.

Funny thing is the one-man-business Pentecostal churches keeps fighting the Catholic church and never get a reply. That speaks volume. Like when Christ admonished us to turn the other cheek.

In my church on cultural day everyone is expected to dress in their cultural attire. Certain hymns are rendered in various native tongues. Then, at times, there is a minifeast after mass with people identifying by their culture.

If you or your Pentecostal pastors think there's a problem with that then you all are mentally deranged.

So "we have lost it" by choosing to celebrate our culture?

It is mental slaves like you that the white man likes. I bet you bear 2 English names and have never been to your village. But you would want to have an English wedding even tho it has no place in the Bible and is purely a European thing? Smh. People like you are the reasons why Africa won't grow. You feel being developed means doing away with your culture but that very thing can seriously hinder development. Why do you think Asians are getting it right?

Emancipate yourself from mental slavery. Because you're a born again Pentecostal doesn't mean you sacrifice commonsense on the altar of pleasing your pastor.

You just nailed it my brother. Some so called Christians be asking dumb questions. Common sense has been replaced by religion. Wisdom is profitable to direct. That statement is not for Africans.

I'll rather we stick to our culture in our everyday worship and celebrate the western culture at periodic intervals.
