Cityguy:
Mr man, you am sorry for you. A more rational and lucid answer was proposed earlier. Keep this your schizophrenogenic and mono-abusive 'dambass' word to yourself. And to think you are shouting it on a forum like this is really pathetic. I wish you quick recovery and bye.

Mishydoo:

Before I begin, I would want to state categorically, that I am not an atheist, I was born into a Christian home, and till now I still believe the world didn’t come about by some silly Big Bang Theory.

Over the weekend I attended two churches; the one a friend dragged me to on Saturday evening, and then on Sunday evening, Assemblies of God Church, my family church. I noticed some things which I didn’t like, and I’m sure the other worshippers did not like them too, but they had become used to them over time.

This is the blog, well, so I’ll just bare my mind here. The reason why it’s ‘Nigerian’ pastors on the title up ahead is because yours faithfully has never attended church service outside the country. So I’m quite assuming only Nigerian pastors do the following.


#1. Screaming into Microphones:

Oga, there’s a reason why the thing is called a microphone. It is to be talked into, or even whispered into (if your voice as loud as mine). There’s no need to shout into the mike. It pains the ears of the worshippers close to the speakers. And then, we all end up leaving church with our ears ringing. The worst part is when you people now scream in tongues during general prayers, unto God- with mike! Shey God will not hear you if you don’t use the mike? Haba!


#2. Breaking Bottles on our Heads:

Have you ever sat in a church and the pastor, during his sermon speaks grammar that makes you lose anointing? Jeez, me too! A pastor will go like: “Go to the extreme end, and call that sister. That demon has to be pursued out now-now!” The demon in the instance will even begin to laugh seriously. One thing that pains me is that these pastors have no regard most times for us, they don’t mind breaking our heads with those unscrupulous grammar and pronunciations,  because they're operating from cloud nine. Make una calm down, thank you.


#3. Staying on one Prayer Point for too long:

I personally detest this. Some pastors will make a simple prayer like, ‘God bless my family’ and turn it into a marathon race. They will stay on one topic for hours, and ginger and ginger us not to stop. It gets boring oh, Pastor. We are Nigerians and we get bored easily.


#4. Asking for too much:

I don’t mean financially this time. Some pastors are like some of our presidential candidates. They are born dictators and control freaks, and only hide behind the pulpit to force us to do things. I personally don’t like when a pastor says: “Walk to fifty-five people and welcome them to service this morning.” It causes problems for ushers as the church becomes rowdy. Also, some pastors like their congregation to repeat every sentence they say fourteen times, or obey every single order to the smallest detail. How will a pastor tell us: “Lift up your right hand and place it on your left breast, then put your left hand under your right shoulder. The anointing is about to flow.”? (Okay I'm exaggerating again), but how on earth are we supposed to pull that off?

#5. Ending every Sermon with Seed-Sowing:

Aha. I put this one last because it's the one you've been expecting to see. These days, even a sermon on how saints will be ruptured on the last day ends with certain pastors making alter calls for people interested in sowing seeds. This is after the church has collected like three times offering already oh. You should stop this oh. Sometimes we your congregation get milked in service to the extent that we also use our transport money to sow a seed. We really humans oh.


If my dear Nigerian pastors can resolve all these, then maybe my beef with them will reduce small. Abi no be so?



Meanwhile welcome to March guys! March on!

lol this guy angry pass me o :-D :-D

KoloOyinbo:
Le us please not get into the 'my denomination is Christian and yours is not' argument. IT is most unchristian!

Abosi31:
what a suggestion. "Meet the pastor to resolve the issue." Where you wan see am ni? He'll even think you came for counselling.

ChokolateBoss:
Lol. Catholic bashers.
On d last day, God will tell pple to queue up according to their church 4 judgment.
When he gets to d catholic line, he'll call them unchristian and maybe damn a lot of them to hell. Then when he reaches d line of ur church probably founded a short while ago by one man like that, he'll smile with approval and tick u guys as d 'real' xtians.
U're telling someone he needs learning regarding catholics and xtians. Of cos he needs to learn d 'real' unfathomable knowledge of xtianity from u and ur church. What does he know? He's probably just an ignorant fella and will jump out from d CC once he 'learns' d real xtian ish.
Don't mind him he's still living in darkness (the CC) while u're in d light. Show him d true light. Use those big halogen torches to show him o, don't use those abo.k.i torch cos d light might not shine well.

Ok 1.224billion Catholics are not xtians. U guys are d real xtians. Lemme clap for u

*kpa kpa..........kpa kpa kpa..........kpaaaaa!*

ask4bk:
Lol.
Except u want to tell me that Christianity began in 1520 when the first ever protestant church began.
From Jesus to 1520 only one church existed (The Catholic church).

Go learn history abeg.

Keep on protesting against the true church. No be today.

So saint paul, st peter, james and co, wea catholics?

naijaboiy:
And you just sit there obeying everything.

That was how one time I went to a church with my cousin during the holidays and the pastor was preaching endlessly.

Hunger don dey fire me as I no chop before I comot house.

Service started at seven and it was already 10 with no sign of its end at all. I was feeling very dizzy and so I decided to go outside and rest in the car and maybe probably find something to eat outside before I faint there.

Immediately I stood up and was walking towards the back door I heard a loud cry.

"And that is one of the demons over there! They can appear in different forms,,this one is looking calm and presentable,,ushers bring him forward"

They brought me forward to the pastor and I was really confused on what to say.

My shouts of "i'm not a demon! I'm not a demon o" aggravated the whole issue.

If you see SLAP!

I just kept dumb and let them continue with their prayers.

I never went to that church with my cousin again.

DrAify:
Why do I find it hard to believe this

Sometimes you Look for the fun and not the Flaw

ask4bk:
Yep! Abi they were Christ embassy?

St Peter was the first pope, and at his death leadership moved to clement, and so on and so forth till the JohnPaul ll, Benedict XVI, and Francis of today. There is an unbroken line from Peter to Francis.

History alone (which d catholic church possesses) will tell u the truth d protestants are hiding when they keep on antagonising d first true Church.

Christianity didn't begin last 10yrs or 30yrs with Oyhalikome, TB Joshua, Oyedepo and co. It's as old as Christ in the Catholic Church.

Just go google christianism and learn history. Learn what Christians were there in the first 1500yrs before lutherianism and protestantism.

Then go question ur pastor too

crixtex:
So all d churches Christ referred warnings to in Revelations, were catholic churches? Paul's epistles etc.... I am not arguing dat catholic church isnt d first or wateva.. just dat catholics ve digressed frm truth...

ask4bk:
Lol! Think again!

The Church never moved from d truth. Humans one day woke up and said that they didn't agree with the Church. So who digressed from who?
The Church never errs in matters of morals and faith.

At least it's a universal truth that the Church is the first, and other sister-churches broke out from it, and still breaking out from among themselves.

Yet, the Church still comprises of 70% of today's christendom. The day ppl get tired of breaking out, they will return to the one, holy, Catholic and Apostolic Church which you all profess in ur Credo.

Salvation no be by force oh

crixtex:
A church dat harbours d doctrine of praying wit rosary and through Mary? A church dat doesnt baptise its members by immersion but sprinkling etc... dose are signs of digression brother and I guess dats wat made bible scholars pull out...

ask4bk:
Oh Yes! We pray with Mary well well sef. Like the apostles did in Acts 2 before the descent of the Holy Spirit. Abi u don't know she was there?
You folks are missing a lot when u despise praying to the MOTHER OF YOUR GOD to help talk to her pikin on behalf of u. Like she made Jesus do change water to wine for a distressed couple when their wine bin finish. Who else fit mek am change im mind if no be Mary.

Yeah yeah, we pray to the saints too. Simply Bcoz we believe in a life after death. But none of these ppl are worshipped. We only ask them to pray for us. Only God is worshipped.

Bout Baptism. The Church baptisés by
Immersion
Infusion (pouring)
Sprinkling.

Any of this 3 is valid. We also refuse the baptism of most protestant churches simply Bcoz they don't baptise in the name of the Holy Trinity, but only that of Jesus.

Well, I can't believe these are the most pressing points u ve against the Church. Ppl attack us with things more than these na. But there's always an explanation for willing ears.

Why should the Church bother when some self-acclaimed bible scholars refuse our ways and break out? Na today?
People followed and sang praises to Jesus in his days, but in the Gospel of John 6, when they heard the teachings they didn't like they left (verse 67). Did Jesus beg them? No! Instead he asked his apostles "una wan. Go too?". You think it ends there? They will still hear things from the first true Church and go away, but they won't be begged. Ppl are free to think of what they want. They come and go, but the Church will forever remain in its propagation of truth, morals, and faith.

It's true that salvation is not by force but Extra ecclesia nulla salus

KoloOyinbo:
The issue of Intersession of Saints etc is another issue but may I address 'sprinkling' as opposed to Total Immersion.

It is not even all the 'Protestant' Churches that insist on Total Immersion.

And before the argument get TOO extreme will all parties please refer to John 14:2 (My Father's house has many rooms; NIV)

Or "In my Father's house are many mansions:" KJV - just for the purist!

crixtex:
Immersion is d only acceptable baptism of water in d bible... remember Jesus, d ethiopian eunuch etc....

crixtex:
Funny maybe if Jesus died wit electric chair, una go dey use image of chair dey pray, Jesus however isnt on d cross so praying wit rosary amounts to incantations..
So catholics preach sound doctrine? puhahahaha...
d dead cannot pray for u o.. read about d rich man and Lazarus piko...
Immersion is d only acceptable baptism recorded in d bible... do u know wat immersion signifies?
