Your Holiness, from the comfort of your chair, you declared them unbelievers. You already judged them before taking deep thoughts for their various reasons.
What's a lighter word for your Hypocrisy?
I used to be a staunch believer before I started seeing though their BS....just like your comment.
Good luck to you in your new faith or belief. There's no basis for arguments

Its not an obstacle, just know God for yourself and ignore the drama.

Some people like when people scream and shout and do drama, while others like yourself seek understanding, which is better. But in all things we walk in humlity.

In other words, when its your business center. cool

Thats why i ignore many pastors from Nigeria. We know how they work.

I will not explain their character, so they dont get better at hiding, and so its easier to see them.

grin

The only church I will attend is the one I am the president and founder.

Until then I observe from a distance.

As much as I don't like attacking or criticizing churches,I have a feeling that that is the purpose of this thread because if not so why this thread of all days, sunday.meanwhile as irritating as Muslims can be with their violent and unruly tendencies,you Will never see them badmouthing where they go to slam their head.even they themselves know that they are toxic to each other but you will never see them opening their yansh for the world to see.yes they're overbearing but they have unity of purpose and know how to cover each others bs.

Christians it's enough stop running down churches and pastors.yes we have bad eggs amongst pastors making Christianity seem like a joke but dragging them every Sunday will change nothing.going to church is a personal decision.if you want to go,go,if you don't want to go you can rest at home but it's not necessary to state why you chose not to go to church because you owe no one any explanation.christianity is an individual race not a collective journey

You said Muslims are irritating and start calling them names, that's one thing you'll never hear about Muslims badmouthing or calling christians all sorts of names. Like I still don't know who's more irritatiting

Did you receive the Holy Spirit, does not have to mean you spoke in tongues as a prove, but you felt renewed, and Joy.

If you did, then pray to God and read your bibile and ask him to help you understand and discern, and watch various pastors even from other countries and trust me, you will develop your sense of dicernment with the help of God, not by man.

You are seeking mans wisdom, not the wisdom of God, its time to seek God for yourself not mans wonder. Like your pastors in Nigeria want you to think their drama and high voice is sufficient. grin

I grew up in Baptist church and I later moved to Pentecostal church. While I was enjoying the new doctrine,the exposure and motivational packages, at some point all things I was enjoying began to leave me hungry for the true word of God which I found missing as I tried connecting back to my root by moving from one Pentecostal church to another.
Gradually,the zeal,the passion for church dropped amidst of my struggle for bread of life,confusion in doctrines among the bodies of christ killed the passion "patapata". Till now I found no church worth going. Maybe tomorrow I may find because I still wish to go back to church.

Sundays are usually set aside for church, to worship and praise God.

-So many still derive pleasure in going to church despite life's challenges.
-Yet so many have stopped going to church due to one reason or the other.

If you fall in the second category, kindly share why you stopped going to church.
Let's encourage one another in love.

The answers to our questions and the solution to our problems are in the Presence of God- in our personal secret place and the gathering of saints.

Meanwhile, let's prep for service.
Prayers are still being answered.
Most churches are scam, I can pray to God in my house and get the blessings

No argument here.
As a Christian or believer that you are, why'd you just conclude they are Unbelievers? Is that what you were/are being taught in Sunday school?

Cc: Seun, @op, Nlmod, what do you want to achieve with kind of controversial topic that you always push to the front page almost every Sunday ?

Meanwhile, I am yet to see a topic on Fridays that ask the Muslims why they stopped going the mosques.

@op, you need to stop this kind of topic if you're not doing so with an negative motives.

Abi what's your gain in trying to spite the church with this type of topic . undecided

Mosque is different from church

Especially in set up and worship model

Nowadays most churches have become complicated

Churches now focus more on extracurricular activities, money, prosperity than on gospel

A very enlightening comment, btw. Generally speaking, muslims don't often post things that'll call their religion into question. Like, asking Why did you stop going to the mosque? They're that conservative with their religion. Liberalism wan almost finish Christianity.

ALL not most.
I was born in a kind of church were you think that it's only us that will make heaven and every other church are not worshipping a true God.
That's how I was program to accept my own church as a Christian,so I asked myself with this were is the love amongst us as christians with other christians.

Last last No pastor is fulfilling the commandments that said thou shall love thy neighbor as thy self.
If you doubt me,Ask if any deeper life pastor can attend a celestial church program obeying their instructions by removing their footwears too,and also a Lord's choosen pastor attend a Catholic adoration program.
Vice versa for other churches.
Pastors keep scattering the bible to suit their own selfish interests.
Pastors keeps investing members money on different businesses.
Owning of schools that members can't afford.
Competition of biggest churches.
Dunamis is highest capacity more than a football stadium.
They now have five services on a Sunday,Ah !! What happened to preaching against lateness to church.
This time don't worry come any time with your offerings.
Pastors make themselves God, compelling women to respect them more than their husbands.
You cannot visit any church in peace,they will ask for first timers and trap them convincing to always come back,so the person don't have a church before coming to yours or what.
Imagine coming to pay me a visit as a pastor without calling to know if I'm around just because your church is still new..
Once it's members are large,they don't remember you exist.
Once they need more money they hold programs with heavy titles for a week.

Inside church you will bring items as gift for pastor,they stay in your presence and resell it.
I swear person fit buy one garden egg for 30k inside church (no be juju be that)




Church is purely a business
Omo work hard and pray to God, your prayers will be answered
