So sad the western world is destroying everything for us.

tremilatre:
Unpopular opinion but as far as I am concerned, the church of today is a social gathering, subject to cultures and traditions.
The doctrine on hair cover was a letter to the Corinthian Church who had their own culture (just same way Paul wrote specific letters to the Philipian, Ephesian, Galatian & Thessalonian churches). It may not be applicable in its entirety to The African Church or The European Church with diverse cultures. Its good for edification but not to be followed in a dogmatic manner.
Ironically same chapter mentions the hair as a woman's glory, if today's culture believes in women emancipation, why subject them to the now dated principle of hair covering?

Happy sunday nairalanders.
And it just seems I'm odd among them or is it that am not modernized?

Hanibal:
Omo!
You're still on these elementary matters ?
Do not wear trousers vs wear trousers, do not use gold vs use gold, cover your head, don't use powder, outward beauty vs inner beauty do not touch, do not taste... really?
In 2023?
Sis you have a long way to go mehn!
God has called us to deeper things, you need to "come up hither"!

I moved to a new area(Student area) and decided to attend a nearby church.

These are what I noticed.

-- I was the only one that used scarf.Even the choristers and the female ministers didn't use scarf.

--Almost all the female members are putting on trousers,ladies that put on gowns/skirt are not up to 20%.
I was even surprised that the two female ministers and the female choristers also put on trouser to climb the church alter.

--During prayer intersection,I noticed everybody were praying in tongues and it seems am the only person not filled with the holy spirit to speak in tongues.
Even when we were asked to pray on our offering,people still prayed in tongues.

And it just seems I'm odd among them or is it that am not modernized?

Reality3080:
so it’s cool to come to church in bra n pant?

Dadimendino:
She's definitely better than those clubbers

Gppgn:
it the prayers of the saints that's still keeping u,, if not you would have been dead by now.. nonsense

litigator:
If you understand the concept of speaking jn tongues, you won't feel odd. It will come to you. When it came to me, I felt I was language from centuries ago. I understood what I was saying. And not just blabing. It's like some superior power is communicating with me in a language of peace.

Even since I stopped mid night prayers and found my way out of his sight, the spirit has not left.

It discipline's me and hold one man meetings with me. Like an invisible friend and we do discuss.

Keep asking. I started asking since a kid during AYF and SU. I didn't get until 2021. You will know when you have it. It's a spirit of peace and fire.

Peace if you are done right within you. And war/fire if It organises alone man family meeting with you.

This usually happens when I don Bleep woman when I nor suppose Bleep and do things I suppose do.

Warns you when you are about to commit some kinda sin. You will just feel this battle within you and you become restless within you.

There some many other ways it manifests aside speaking. I had the spirit in me for years before my mouth opened.

You will still sin oooo. But the spirit helps you avoid sin and chastisez you when you have done wrong.

In the next 50-100 years Christianity will be odd itself. Christianity rules is defined by the odds of society.

When the society was sane, the Christianity was sane. As society started changing with odds so do Christianity.

Very soon LGBT will be norm too.

When TV came, some said it's devil box, today they use it in all their churches. Sane with phone and social media. This is rvide6that wr cannot define Good or bad, my mere judgement of our head only. But This is what we have today


And that's the problem of a people without rules or standard. That's why Islam 6just beautiful. With rules and standard. The modalities, practises of the mosque is same and not modernity will change it. It's Good, because the rule will prevent odds of society.

People that grew up in “old” Pentecostal church like TAC and CAC consider it a sin that a female wear trouser ,use powder ,wear ear rings etc . Therefore they find it odd that when they see other Pentecostal churches do all these and most time consider them odd/not holy enough to make heaven etc .

One of the disadvantages of breaking away from Catholic Church is that everyone has their own doctrine but consider other doctrines not acceptable to God . Neglecting the fact that culture have great effects on biblical lifestyle and other doctrine lifestyles.

Imagine saying a woman should not wear supposed men’s cloth and vice versa but some cultures like the Arab have their men wearing gown ,Scotland and some Scandinavian and South South people of Nigeria have their men wearing robe which apparently belongs to women in most other culture .

One of the reasons I let go of religion is because everyone is claiming to be right and the probability of one of them being right is negligible because high percentage of people will be on the losing side and I wonder why an omniscient God will create people just to make them lose in the long run .

JohnBullMySon:
I don't know. If I'm not comfortable with it I'll find another church. Not to come online to complain.

Let's start learning how to mind our business in Nigeria. Everybody always thinking their tribe or religion is better than the other person.

hefelove:
In the book of Acts of Apostles, the disciples gathered in a room and prayed and they were filled with the Holy Ghost and they began to speak in different tongues, this days, people don’t even pray to be filled with the power of the Holy Spirit, they just suddenly start saying it like say na normal thing

CharlesofJesus:
Though I Speak with the tongue of men and have not love for God and man, I am nothing. This was what Paul wrote to the Corinthians in his first epistle.

God gave specific instructions as regarding all the above you mentioned and they are all written in the book of Leviticus, Peter, and Paul's epistle to Timothy.

Like God said to Samuel, men look at the outward appearance but God looks at the heart. Who am I to judge. But this I will say according to the scriptures.

Let him that standeth take heed lest he or she falls..

If any man preach any other gospel than that which we have preached unto you let him be accursed.. Apostle Paul said this...I can go on and on and on...

There are synagogues of Satan in this present time, just like Jesus said to John in the book of revelation. So the discerning gift of the holy spirit in you pointed out something wrong to you my friend, Guide your soul.

If those in that church love God,
1. They won't go against is law of putting on opposite sex cloths as commanded in the book of Leviticus.

2. If they love God truly they won't allow disorder in the church as a result of the speaking I tongues by many at once like what happened in Corinth that Paul corrected, saying to them that some will think they are mad.

3. What is the essence of speaking in tongues when there is no interpretations.( Apostle Paul said this)

Let all things be done in modification and in order ( Apostle Paul advised this) Read I Corinthians 12 -16.🥰

ylordy:
the thing is that they are being christian, I don't think the bible adviced us against not wearing head tie or females not wearing trousers and the bible said this sign shall follow them...they shall speak in tongue...
