Happy sunday nairalanders.
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?

IyfeNamikaze:
I think that the reason why it's like this is because people don't study the bible. When you study the bible, everything becomes clear and nobody can deceive you. Preachers and Pastors are not encouraging their congregation to study the bible properly. Every time in church the preachers would say open to the book of That verse This to This, usually short texts and they read that particular text and the preacher starts to preach from that verse.... Many times what the preacher is preaching is not what that verse is talking about, but because nobody bothers to read the preceding verses and the following verses and sometimes the whole chapter to understand the full scope of what the verses are talking about, they get easily misled and confused and lost.

Who is going to build the factories and research centers when majority only believe in prayers?

Remember i am emphasizing the word "majority".

For there to be a change, majority has to be re-informed and dissuaded from the way they think.

Those who are supposed to build the factories, research centers and bring about innovation and invention are in the churches and mosques praying.

Owutuotuo:
You shouldn’t feel odd.

- that they majorly wore trousers don’t make the less of God’s children as well as you, and that they’re characterized with wearing skirts (or iro), don’t make them true Christians at heart. God sees every heart and intent and know who serves and loves Him.
- same with scarf. It’s a doctrinal topic. In CAC, MFM and their likes, men don’t cover their head in church or prayers. Whereas in bible times, they did, to pray, even still done in Israel today. You find skull caps and mitres on priests of episcopal rank in orthodox settings. So, it’s a doctrinal practice and not an element of your faith in, love for, and worship of Jesus Christ as LORD.
- Speaking in tongues is a gift given as a token oft evidence of the infilling of the Holy Spirit. It’s a New Testament substance. We had prophets of old and fathers in faith who lived in Old Testament times carry God’s Spirit (e.g Samuel, Elijah, Elisha, David, even Joseph), but not with the evidence of speaking in tongues because it wasn’t a thing of their dispensation. All you need to do is ask God to give you that gift ‘cos the advantage is massive. Caveat: That one speaks in tongues doesn’t make the person a true Christian. Cain and Abel both offered sacrifices (in this case, speaking in tongues) but He refused Cain’s (just as He hears not the the one who regards iniquity in his/her heart).


I hope this helps.

Because I didn’t put chapters and verses to it abi? Lol...
Just in my last response alone, I mentioned the event to you at Genesis 3:20. I also showed you the idea that is in Deuteronomy 22:5 and 1 Corinthians 6:20 (“glorify God in your body”).
And when I quoted that “there are clouds of witnesses around us” I was almost quoting directly Hebrew 12:1.

My friend, your argument and response hasn’t evidently shown that you are being guided by the Bible. This mean you are most likely not a Christian... maybe only Christian in name.

To rest this it might be that you are in the wrong place and reacting to the wrong issue. This issue is for Christians and people that are ready to accept in FULL bibles regulations and definitions.

SaLongs1:
So the spirits will understand Berom? OK oo.

Ayatullah:


Your recommendations are perfect if she wants to by all means remain among those who fool themselves, knowing fully well that they are fooling themselves.

I however see in her a lady that wants to serve God decently, so I believe your recommendations are going to be rejected by her.

I pray she finds satisfaction in the natural and perfect religion Jesus Christ the son of Mary practiced - ISLAM.

Gerrard59:
OP,

You are analysing the case from your ethnic culture. Christians in churches in East Asia don't cover their hair. They wear trousers and put on makeup. According to you, would they go to hell fire?

You are a bad advisor speaking in tongues can't be forged, you can't mock God, not speaking in tongues is not a sin, its an argumentation

So? How does this verse links to your argument?

I also showed you the idea that is in Deuteronomy 22:5

Are the girls wearing male trousers? Are girls' trousers made for men? The verse is very clear. Anyone can differentiate between a male and female trouser. So, what's your argument?


and 1 Corinthians 6:20 (“glorify God in your body”).

Oh! Does it mean wearing trouser can't allow one to glorify God again? Make me understand, please.

And when I quoted that “there are clouds of witnesses around us” I was almost quoting directly Hebrew 12:1.

So? By cloud of witnesses, what do you think the verse is referring to?

By the way, the verse 2 says, looking unto Jesus the author and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising shame, and hath sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.

It never said, looking unto your neighbor or someone beside you that may cause you to derail. It said, looking unto Jesus. Bro, learn to look unto Jesus for all you do. Let Jesus alone be your judge. Stop behaving like you are God assistant and passing judgment as you wish when you don't fully understand what you are saying.

Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles. And let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us,

By the way, the verse 2 says, looking unto Jesus the author and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising shame, and hath sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.
