Goodmorning Nairalanders.
I had this completely randomized argument with one of my couzins early hours of this morning on the topic above. It was Unusual but deliberate given the fact that I said I love following church service online via the Net or cable dish.

She immediately opposed me and we both started to clearly state our points in bid to render the other person defeated.

It was like a rap battle until she said going to church will enable you, amongst other things take lots of selfies and pictures with others people– Òmó, I became mute and yielded.
Which do you prefer and why?

The person below me has something to say

online wins.

You can be munching on your Sunday jollof rice while listening to the word of God.

Drinking beer in your house and drinking beer in beer parlor, which one is batter? Watching soccer in your house and watching soccer in viewing center, which one is better?

It all boils down to your choice

The one that will not cause you discommode, meanwhile I'm a heathen, I only believe in humanism

online...it just me and my GOD

I prefer none.. both methods have ways of extorting members. Africans are beginning to realise religion is a scam. We need freedom from mental slavery.

What matters is your relationship with God and the state of your mind.

Some people go to church to show off clothes or look for girls to scope and bleep.
Others are connected to online service at home and at same time doing soapy or watching porn.

If God is present, it does not matter who is absent; life is complete and everything is under control.

Both... depending on the circumstances.

God is both online and offline so both are okay

Still trying to wrap my head around online service. Does God even consider it okay? It would be my preferred method of worship though

Online is what I do for replay of a service. With online service I have to battle Distraction
And Social media messages.

Every Sunday I like be in physical church live, cry before God, bask in his presence and rock the praises.

Onlin don't do it for me unless I don't have any choice.

Going to church is the best. Why? U will receive first hand blessings and u can also received prayers of ur offering and tyth.

None! Sundays are for relaxing
Though I listen to Christian podcasts once in a while.

Both are Useless!!

I prefer physical but in this time of COVID, I attend online. Both in my opinion are valid.

None cos they are both meant to deceive gullible persons..

Whichever pleases you, DO.

I prefer where CHRISTians, I mean CHRISTlike and little CHRISTs are gathered together

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.
Matthew 18:20 For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them.

iramure:

You said this on another thread. No pastor uses physical force to make someone pay. Some pastors are false. Not all are false.

Bro let me tell you, it is your heart that matters that connect with God ....be online not online, we are only enjoying God grace,.... serving God anywhere is not affecting our connection with God, he is not a blind man and deaf man,

Did you see it in bible that it is only church you must serve God ...

Anywhere please activate worship mood or prayer mood, the most high God is there to answer you....

Don't argue with anyone... follow your heart ok....

Shalom

None of the above. My body is the church . I worship my God quietly @ home. it's become clear and very evident Religion is a Scam used by colonialist to enslave the black Man mentally

These days I prefer online/ broadcast. We can hear and receive blessings from God anywhere provided we worship him in spirit and in truth. The more reason why churches now broadcast services online or on TV e.g Shiloh program and RCCG annual convention etc.

keep quiet and stop deviating from the topic

I am so Useless!!

thanks for letting us know

Online better...no offering

The most important thing is your heart towards others.
Is there anyone you are maltreating because you are better off than him?Is your heart towards others plain?
Church service is nowadys just a social gathering where u hardly hear words of salvation and repentance.Just money,promotion testimonies,marriage testimonies etc which have no bearing on man's inner soul renewal needed for salvation so dt one doesn't go to hell after death

Why abuse him .. what did he say wrong?

Both. For my church back home, I do online and I'm loving it. For my present church in my city, I love going to church.
