Religious belief is an invisible security blanket for insecure individuals.
Closeted minds will continue to allow brainwashing and indoctrination by religious leaders that there is a 'god', and there was a 'jesus', in order that the people with closed minds allow themselves to be controlled so that the various Corporations (churches) remain profitable as the tax-free money continues to roll in.

OP, you're not a good Christian

I'm sure that I haven't gone to Church for at least 6 weeks now.
But who are you to judge my Christian life.
If I may ask you; who is a good Christian?

free2ryhme:
Are you truly Christian if you dont go to church

Nope. Are you truly Christian when you only feign holiness in the Church alone?

Tunagee:
Do not forsake the gathering of the brethren. However, your personal relationship with your creator is what matters. Even if one goes to church and spend 24 hrs there,pay your tithes regularly, but still do not follow HIS commandments like telling lies, (includes falsification of documents, paying bribes to get a contract, giving Mr A what rightfully belongs to Mr B) fornication,adultery, bearing false witness, killing one fellow human being, and others, my brother one cannot inherit HIS kingdom. 80% of church goers are attention seekers and liars,including the pastors who are after material gains and women's pussies.

Nice words.
Cos there are churches as they call it that only negatively transform your inbuilt godliness.
I believe that going to Church is good though, but our lives outside the Church really count more.

Uncleshaga:
Not really but it builds up ones spiritual life

But did you know that most churches these days do not build up spiritual live?

BluntBoy:
What is a Church?

“For where two or three are gathered in my name, there am I among them” (Matthew 18:20 ).

If you and at least another believer gather in the name of Jesus the Christ (even if it is in a forest), there you have a Church.

Also, Paul gave an insight into the fact that the Church is a body of believers in Christ. Check the verse below:

"Greet also the church that meets at their house. Greet my dear friend Epenetus, who was the first convert to Christ in the province of Asia" (Romans 16:5)

How should a Church look like and conduct itself?

There is the Universal Church which all believers automatically belong to and there are local churches where believers in a particular area can meet anywhere in the name of Christ. (e. g., the Church in Corinth, the Church in Ephesus, etc).

I) Now, the Church must have elders (overseers). You don't have to claim, like our so-called Men of God to be specially called of God, to be an overseer.

Paul gave criteria for choosing elders or overseers for every local church. Check below:

“This is why I left you in Crete, so that you might put what remained into order, and appoint elders in every town as I directed you—if anyone is above reproach, the husband of one wife, and his children are believers and not open to the charge of debauchery or insubordination. For an overseer, as God’s steward, must be above reproach. He must not be arrogant or quick-tempered or a drunkard or violent or greedy for gain, but hospitable, a lover of good, self-controlled, upright, holy, and disciplined. He must hold firm to the trustworthy word as taught, so that he may be able to give instruction in sound doctrine and also to rebuke those who contradict it.” (Titus 1:5–9)

II) In the Church, no one is above rebuke, although the Bible asks us to rebuke a sinful brother with love. Everyone in the Church is accountable to everyone. Check a verse below:

“If he refuses to listen to them, tell it to the church. And if he refuses to listen even to the church, let him be to you as a Gentile and a tax collector.” (Matthew 18:17)

III) In the Church, Christians use their gifts to bless one another. The Church was never described as a one-man company where someone or a group of people called pastors teach while the rest listen like zombies every Sunday.

Here is how a Church should be:

“What then, brothers? When you come together, each one has a hymn, a lesson, a revelation, a tongue, or an interpretation. Let all things be done for building up.” (1 Corinthians 14:26)

And many more guidelines in the Bible.

In summary, going to "Church" or not going does not really matter in this case where nearly all the Christians do not even know what a Church is or what is expected of them in the body of Christ.

Thanks... #Noted

I just want to compare your thoughts with the one I've got here.
I know some people who do not go to Church but do live good Christian lives. But based on the way we're being compelled to go to Church almost all the time...
The question I have to ask is this:
Does Not Going To Church Make You A Bad Christian?
Your thoughts.

One thing you need to know about South Africa. . . . Nigeria 4 - 0 South Africa.

So that whenever I called her "honey"; she'd appreciate me with loads of kisses.
.

Cos with all these daring escapes, that name "honey" shouldn't be called for free.

That was what came to my mind first when I saw those cars. Anything wey oyibo don use dey sweet us scatter.

If it were to be in Nigeria, the contents of those letters might be termed "propaganda".
This country tough no be small.

Las Vegas be looking like nothing in the day time. If you see that place for night, you go comot cap for am.

These pictures makes one feel like no one gets old while residing in those places.

Until women burn down this world, they will not rest.

Those pictures entails that that a.ss is more important to that man. Once it disappears, the man might disappear. My opinion though.

Panel beater go don smile. Peace to the dead.

deedeedee1:
"God" also blessed Mike Tyson and 50 cent

You're right. But that's when his pride gets to challenge God.

galadima77:
Don't test God!

I didn't challenge God my brother. But when he won Manny earlier, he first dedicated his victory to God. I think he wouldn't challenge God too.

millionboi:
And he no go school oooo

I didn't even know that one.
Now it's clear that he's blessed.

Biodun1929:

He posted the words in hash tag on his Twitter. I think I saw something like that.

deedeedee1:
With his extravagant lifestyle, believe me, in 15-20 years time, he will become bankrupt.

He will not. I believe so.
God has blessed him.

But he gave thanks to God.

michael142:

Oga wrong choices & investment can cause him to become poor in an instant especially in the U.S
