Muslims don't drink water, eat or chew gum n mosques during their prayers...By so doing, they show by example how others should respect their religion and Prophet

If Christians choose not to respect their own Jesus by behaving anyhow in Church, then what basis do they have to demand such respect from others?

If these same Christians are before even a Local Government Chairman, they won't be eating, drinking and chewing gum in his presence

I don't like Pastor Ibiyeomie, but but he is right on this one..

onomej4u1:
The prayer time is just for few minutes unlike churches that take hours to complete their service

Angelfrost:
Lol... I think the issue here is the lack of understanding of the context of the clergyman's statements.

Apart from the water part, the rest are just common sense worship etiquettes.

Will you be chewing gum when in a board meeting with the likes of Bill Gates, Elumelu, Dangote, Mark Cuban, Trump, etc?!!

Will you be focused on your phone or have it ringing out, or even taking calls while in such gatherings?!!

SixSeven:
Did you go to sleep in church? If you don't want to attend the church, don't. There are some restaurants that don't allow mobile phones, I don't go there. There are some restaurants that use QR code, I don't go there because I like physical books. To each his own.

richmond500:
chewing gum helps in sleeping.
If I am thirsty, I will drink water.

Also what if my bible is on my mobile phone

SixSeven:
There's no problem with their rules. Leave all these Dangote talk out of it. If you know what it takes to manage a facility, you would not have a problem with it. Many people behave anyhow in public so it's up to the owner of public spaces or where many people attend to set rules. Even in stadium, there are rules but people just want to behave like goats.

richmond500:
so if I am sleepy, I shouldn't do what makes me not to sleep?
Na wa o, even Jesus was not this controlling

Cum4me:
If many Nigerians could wake up a lot of churches will be empty. Religion is a complete brainwashed institution

brain54:
Irrespective of my personal opinion about the man...
He is right on this matter. Many Nigerians are not disciplined and don't know how to behave in public.
He is absolutely right on this one!

This is not for everyone, it is for those who carried their 2 legs to walk into his business centre.

SixSeven:
You are funny. You went to church to sleep? Answer that question first.

richmond500:
sleepy is a natural something.
There is no place people don't feel sleepy.
I didn't go to church to sleep, that's why I want to chew gum to keep me awake

SixSeven:
Good. Maybe take a break and come back to your seat. In some schools, they ban the chewing of gum. What do you do when you feel sleepy in class? Some things are courtesy, some things are etiquettes but no be everything we mus do strong head for 🐐

richmond500:
you are talking to mature men and women.
These are not kindergarten children.

You know what, just forget it, u are probably brainwashed too

SixSeven:
I don't care man. Mature men and women no de go school de attend class? Or will you insist on taking water with you at the airport? Una go just wan argue for argument. The guy said don't take these things in the church, why will you think that has anything to do with sheeple? You've not had any solid point to counter the rule other than "I feel like it". And those who do that are usually children who think the world is all about them and they don't need any rules to regulate.
If you go shrine and dem tell you make you comot your cap, no comot am, follow Baba argue say na your right - you be adult, you be man dem

Bentacur007:
I pity some Christians that their brain doesnt work again

richmond500:

So without gum you cannot stay awake...?


Besides I saw the video... the post doesn't fully cover what the pastor said. He said they chew the gum and drop it carelessly after causing people to step on it and create a mess. He said some people gum it under their seats after chewing. It's that discipline?


Your Bible can be on your mobile phone he clearly was talking about those that use their phones for other purposes while the church service was ongoing. Stop making excuses for nonchalant attitude.


Do you know chewing gum is banned in some countries for these same reasons?

Gotocourt:
Mtchewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww


Wahala for who kpai.
Use your offering and tithes to feed well

GeneralOuki:
So how does this really work? In the morning you say feel free and be lively in the presence of God, then before noon you're ordering people to be disciplined in the presence of God. But then in the bible jesus fed thousands of people during a sermon.
I believe a lot of Christians have not really read the bible extensively and majority of Christians don't even understand the religion they're into.

There's nothing wrong with eating and drinking in the church and neither is there anything wrong with operating your device in church. It's not indiscipline, it is free will. You worship God the way you want to, as long as it's in truth and spirit.

SixSeven:
That's your headache. There are rules for everywhere. If you don't like it, leave.

I show am school, e say e be adult. Adult no de do masters, dem no de do PhD shey? Abi you no see former first lady wey humble herself before her lecturers, she follow rule.

I show am shrine, e de tell me about redemption camp.

I show am airport, e dodge that one.

E no get any place wey no get e own rules, if you don't like it leave it alone. From the moment that I saw how you reacted to a Tiktok video of a class setting, it shows me the kind of student you probably were and what you are teaching your kids, if you have any.

Pope go mosque, e comot shoe, e no argue but this your maturity eh, na genius one. I don't even know this pastor but upon reading what he said, except one lives in an island, there is no big deal in what he said but we live in the age of the internet, where commenters always want to look for the tiniest problems to prove they are intelligent than others. Maturity is when you learn that there's knowledge, there's wisdom, there's discernment. Have a nice day.

He is 100% right on this one.
Most Nigerians are not disciplined.
Unless on medical ground, it disgust me when I see people come to church with snacks and drinks for a church program thsts less than 3 hours.
Even of you're coming with a toddler, as long as the were fed before coming out, they should be able to hold on for 3 hours and this practice of coming to church with food is common amongst poor people (no disrespect intended).
As a Catholic, I know I won't stay in church for more than 3 hours.
Sometime last year, my family and I went to a church program and during prayer my husband and I go distracted for few minutes.
In less than 2 minutes i notice that my baby (a toddler) was holding cheese balls.
I asked the woman behind us and she confirmed that she was the one that gave her (i almost ran mad) when she said she gave my child snacks because first of all, you don't know the feeding program of a parent on their child so how dare you give my baby food without my permission.
Secondly, it shows how undiscipline you're as a parent if your child (if not sick) can't stay for 3 hours without putting something in their mouth and it even more disgusting if it's an adult that's eating in the church.
My baby was once crying and a woman asked me to go and buy her biscuits (she comes to church with snacks and carbonated drinks every Sunday) i no just answer am, pamper my pikin to stop cry.

What about pastors who drink water on the pulpit while preaching
