There is Power in the Life, Death and Resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ, though it is visible. Even that god/diety/herbalist you serve is powerful, now much powerful can the supreme ruler GOD ALMIGHTY be? The Creator of all creators and founders and creatures. Great is thy Faithfulness. POWER FROM ABOVE.

I have no clue what you are rambling on about. The power in the life, death and resurrection of Jesus Christ belongs only to those who believe in Him and obey Him. Unfortunately, your churches are simply monuments to the glory of the men who run them and have nothing to do with Jesus Christ and His word.

This is even more evident in the fact that the majority of those who attend them have no real idea who Jesus Christ is and what awaits those of you who claim to believe in Him but refuse to obey His commandments.
It is better to die an unbeliever - since those who do not believe have no eternal life, there is no life after death for them. However, for those who believe in Jesus Christ, and have eternal life as a result, yet refuse to obey the very commandments of Jesus Christ, for such people, Hell is waiting on the other side for eternity!

Well said. But I do not go to church because of my Priests, nor Church Members, I go to church because of God Alone deserves my Adoration. Our Priests and Pastors are now in to church leadership because of money, yes, is true, but what are in particular there for? Don't look at men in the Church, look up to God. When you stop going to church because of your pastor and church members, you will see the Light in your Life. Don't go to church because of men but God

That there is a lie because NOWHERE IN SCRIPTURE did God tell you to attend Church services anywhere, and He certainly did not tell anyone to build Him a house on earth.

Jesus Christ never said, "Believe in me and be called Sons of God, so that other men can take my place and Teach you in my stead.". No, He warned against people who will claim to come in His name only to steal, Kill, and destroy, pretending they do so in His name.
So, in fact, Jesus Christ was clear when He told His followers that He alone would be only Teacher for His flock, so pray tell, why do you go listening to others pretend to Teach you that which Jesus Christ never instructed them to, even if they pretend to do so in His name?

Whats your reason?

Hebrews 10:25
Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching.

Jam 1:22 — Jam 1:23
But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves. For if any be a hearer of the word, and not a doer, he is like unto a man beholding his natural face in a glass:

Hebrews 3:15
if ye will hear his voice, harden not your hearts, as in the provocation.

Reasons Please. Lets share and learn

Stop going to Church? No problem. Your BODY is a TEMPLE of God. Don't stop appreciating for that purpose.

See except if you want to fake it, going to church every Sunday in Nigeria is not possible...

If not going to church is what will give you a rest of mind, so be it.

All the best

Hmm? Your body is the temple of God? I believe that only applies for those who have proved themselves worthy of being followers of Jesus Christ, and not just for anyone who claims a belief in Jesus Christ.

Jesus Christ explained severally to those who believed in Him what they needed to do in order to become worthy of being His followers, and only those who become His followers will He, Jesus Christ, and His Father, make their home in. According to Jesus Christ, you must first abide in Him, and only then will He abide in you(your body become the temple of God).

Almost all of Paul's letters were written, not to those who simply believed, but to those who were already followers of Jesus Christ (those who have shown themselves worthy of becoming followers of Jesus Christ, according to Jesus Christ's stipulations that is).

So it is false to assume the body of all those who claim to believe in Jesus Christ immediately become temples of sorts for God. God is the one who, after putting each through His tests, determines whose body is worthy and whose is not.
