Which Anglican Church support gay?
The Church of Nigeria is vehemently against it.
Gay is sin no argument on that.

The church should be discussing how to defend themselves from Islamic jihadists.

He doesn't want to offend MoGs and their sheeple.

Take tithes and quest for money out of Pentecostal churches and 90% would be gone.

The Bible clearly said divorce is not allowed unless in the case of Adultery,



So even if my husband beats me, drinks and smokes.. I should still be with him



The Bible doesn't say divorce isn't allowed except in cases of idolatry

That abortion is really an issue. We know God doesn't approve it but what does one do when the pregnancy is a threat to the carriers life or it's a product of incest/bestiality or violation/rape that comes with psychic trauma at the site of the child.

I know a church(name withheld) that says wearing tight(female underwear in place of pant) is a sin. That anything that looks like knicker or trouser whether in or out is sinful for a woman to wear.

Another issue is sex. Dag heaward-mills(a pastor) said in one of his books that it's not sinful for couples to engage in orall sex. But many other pastors condemn it

Another issue is divorce. A particular popular church in Nigeria with its head pastor now a divorcee is said to have the highest record of divorce within its members among xtain organizations in Nigeria. In d Western world, it's even a normal routine even among xtains. Which does one believe?

When did God tell you abortion is a sin

None of these issues would be controversial if we actually read and understand the bible.

Bro, it is not that simple. If it were, we wouldn't be here. You don't know the bible more than the spiritual leaders of these churches. What you term as understanding the bible might differ from mine cause no two persons reason alike. Again, bible stance may be clear but difficult, if not impossible, to relate to the reality on ground.

Elijah interfered in politics but today, spiritual leaders are criticised by some for having a say in politics while others call them out for keeping mute.

Women were asked to keep mute in the bible. I'm sorry but making a fellow human being a second class citizen based on gender is very inhumane. Today, we have female pastors who are doing just fine.

According to the bible, Sodom was destroyed for many sins including homosexuality. We know that sexuality is not a switch you turn anyway you want. Some people are born gay and criminalizing them based on that is unfair. Besides, why haven't we criminalized other sins that made Sodom to be destroyed?

Abortion is regarded as murder by many churches but for some, it's really nothing more than wiping away spermatozoa after making love and that, to a great extent, is logical.

No matter how we try to water it down; truth is, the whole thing is just complex.

If you like add to the Bible na you know, sha read revelations chapter 22 vs 18 and 19 before you do.

They will tell you to seek Spiritual guidance before marriage you’ll be looking at his bank account , his big sized diçk will not let you do the needful why won’t he beat you.

Yes oo.. Tithe is really an issue... In the real sense giving of tithe isn't for us.... It's not compulsory... But it's good to give to the lord... We give because we have been blessed by him.. We don't give to be blessed or get blessings....

Except the OP is an atheist or Muslim, why on earth would you come online to post "8 most controversial issues"? Does this edify the body?
Now that it has been posted, have the issues been solved?

you’re not going against the Bible. You’re doing the right thing which is logical. If your husband beats you to stupor incessantly it’s domestic violence and in saner climes individuals often file for a divorce when there’s no sign of change from their significant order. Life is much more important and that’s what you need to know. You don’t have to die because someone failed to control their own demons. Please be realistic and guided!

Your bible answers all these questions but since you choose to believe men instead of reading your bible you’ll be forming confused.

The Bible clearly said divorce is not allowed unless in the case of Adultery,

God destroyed a city cos of Sodomy

Some of these issues can’t be debated cos they were unambiguously sorted in the Bible.
Destroyed a whole city then blame it on sodomy? And that make sense to you? The question you should ask is why create em when you foreseen the mess they would be or perhaps they are created to be slaughtered. Common sense doesn't make most of this biblical stories make sense to me anymore.

What about masturbation undecided
Re: See 8 Most Controversial Issues In The Church Today by yemififi: 11:18am On Feb 02, 2020
Most churches today have become branches of Hell fire. An example is Anti-Christ Embassy headed by Oyakhilome where masturbation is allowed despite its side effect health wise and spiritually.

Other Antichrist churches include Omega Fire (Pastor Suleiman) KiCC, Rhema, COZA, the list is endless. The church now allows what the secular world disallowed decades ago.

It is now normal to see a pastor sleeping with members wives and an overbleached pastors wife.
Things have really fallen apart.....

Hmmm
Thank God I'm a Catholic. Catholics view about those things you just wrote.

Gay marriage. The church has never been in support and will not be in support anytime soon.

Abortion. The children considers the sin as mortal sin and anyone who comits such should go for confession because God forgives all sins.

Women as leaders. The Rev. Sisters have their special role in administration in institutions whereas the Priest heads the church.

Worship songs. One thing I love about my parish is maintaining the tradition of using soul lifting hymns, traditional Catholics tunes not any contemporary noises we hear now. Although they introduce contemporaries but not frequently.

Alcohol. It's no sin to drink but drinking to stupor is not advisable.

Baptism. We baptize kids because they too share in the original sin of our first father Adam. It's advisable that the godparents of such kids should bring up those kids in the way of the Lord.

Speaking in tongues. The church doesn't emphasize in this modern day hypocrisy. The Pentecostal churches doesn't even know the reason the Apostles spoke in tongues and that it's not just rubbish they were spewing.
