AntiChristian:
Which verse says it's wrong?

chatinent:
I read it.
But the thing is if I get tired of the prosperity, tithes, and offering talks in church, next is me and my phone googling how to leave the church without acting like I am leaving.

pstJey:
Stop it, it's wrong.

At least show some respect for GOD.

I sat next to a lady that was visiting IG, reposting things on WhatsApp status and streaming another church's service in church.

My biggest grouse was that she did this throughout the 1hr 45 mins service.

When the sermon switched to why we're meant to correct people when we see them acting wrongly, I knew I had to do something.

So I tapped her and gave her the "why are you using your phone in church" look.

This lady responded so angrily it shocked me. Anyways, we were going to cause a scene so I let her alone.
At least I'd passed my message.

If you use your phone in church, please stop it. You end up distracting people around you plus it's disrespectful. Please stop it.

My dear Brother, I will advise you mind your business anytime you’re in church

Everyone has his or her purpose of coming to church and yours might be entirely different from hers

A word is enough for the wise

Ojuntana:
Not all churches preach prosperity, tithes and offerings.
If you're not comfortable with such, you can check into Deeper, Assemblies of God or MFM.
It's better than becoming a nuisance in the house of God. God does not look favourably on the rebellious

chukwuibuipob:

Well lucky for her she attended a 'nice' church.

I was once invited to a church service, I think it was Redeemed, we didn't sit for two minutes straight. After every few minutes, what I would hear was 'may we all rise to our feet'. This continued till the end of the service, I was soo frustrated.

Needless to say I didn't go back there again, ever.

This type of reply is the reason LGTBQ grew to this extent.
You just derailed like a kid, and grossly off point.
So if you have a child and you see him chatting and surfing on phone in a classroom while a teacher is teaching, will you encourage him to continue like that?
Sometimes una go just wan talk

chatinent:
That's the point. It's no longer a house of God. It's a house where people go just for the Sundays.

compton11:
Leave her,let her be, whatever she do, Jesus has died for her sin .

chatinent:
When matters of religion is talked about, una go leave simple reasoning but focus of “what is right.”

Is minding one's business not right?
I get an urgent message and quickly want to respond the person to call me later and you come tell me to bring the phone...that I am pressing it in church?

Well...

During slavery, it was illegal for Africans to read any book other than the Bible.

Anyone caught reading philosophy, science, governance, history, economics or any other genre of literature, faced the death penalty.

Why was this so?

The slave masters understood that the Bible was a tool to limit the thinking of black Africans and to keep them perpetually subservient.

They knew that to keep them in servitude they had to make them accept their lot as the will of God and have them thinking about the end of days, these things will keep them in perpetual servitude.

They refused to give them anything good but they gave them Christianity and the bible.

Over five hundred years later, the descendants of the slaves who were whipped, tortured, raped and murdered, now confess implicit confidence in the same Bible. (a book hurriedly put together by Emperor Constantine in 325 AD when he decreed Christianity - an infusion of Roman paganism, Greek and Egyptian mythology" as the new State religion and his troops would violently convert most of the world's populations to this newly formed order by force and through violence. The Bible was central to the success of the trans Atlantic slavery.

On a trip to Cape Coast in Ghana 2010, I saw first hand the role Christianity played in slavery.

Slaves were first baptized and letters (signifyng their new names such as John, Peter, Isaac and other Christian names) engraved with hot metal in their backs - this was even before they learnt English.

While in chains, blood dripping from all over their bodies, they recited the Nicean creed, not knowing the meaning.

Biblical Verses used by Slave Masters to Justify Slavery

#Ephesians 6:5
"Slaves, obey your earthly masters with respect and fear, and with sincerity of heart, just as you would obey Christ." lent divine credence to the predicament of slaves and consigned them to perpetual slavery.

#Ephesian 6:9
And masters, treat your slaves in the same way. Do not threaten them, since you know that he who is both their Master and yours is in heaven, and there is no favoritism with him.

#Colossians 3:22:
Slaves, obey your earthly masters in everything; and do it, not only when their eye is on you and to win their favor, but with sincerity of heart and reverence for the Lord.

#Colossian 4:1
Masters, provide your slaves with what is right and fair, because you know that you also have a Master in heaven.

#Titus 2:9
Teach slaves to be subject to their masters in everything, to try to please them, not to talk back to them,

1 #Peter 2:18
Slaves, submit yourselves to your masters with all respect, not only to those who are good and considerate, but also to those who are harsh.

Revolting against the oppressors, was a direct rejection of God - so they were made to believe.

Today, many Africans know the Bible from the beginning to the end but they know little about themselves or ideas that can improve their lives. They can feel Jesus in their spirits and they are absolutely sure that Christianity is the only true religion.

They are waiting for an apocalyptic climax to humanity where a blue eyed, blonde haired Caucasian savior would appear from the sky at the sound of a trumpet, to save them from debilitating poverty, a dysfunctional system, diseases and imbecility. 500 years later, Africans are still languishing in profuse ignorance.

The damage has been done.

In the words of the late scholar Dr. Henrik Clark;

"To control a people, you must first control what they think about themselves and how they regard their history and culture. And when your conqueror makes you ashamed of your culture and history, he needs no prison walls and chains to hold you".

Na you leave simple reasoning, and obviously, you did not read the post. Somebody spent about 1 hour 45 minutes on phone in Church and you said he was reading and replying urgent message.
What is the duration of church service?
Later you will come here to attack Nigerian politicians

wunmi590:
Honestly, paying full attention in the presence of God is great, most especially if it's just 2-3hours you intend spending.

And the person who noticed spent 1hr45m observing?


While pressing of phones can be a distraction, it's also practical and good to mind your business. You don't know what people go through.
