Op not everyone that goes to church is bound to enter the kingdom of God , I don't go to church always but that doesn't mean am not spiritual stable at least am better than some folks that goes to church every Sunday,


Some even attend church just to chyke women and meet up with straffable babes. Which they can't go home without compelling or booking a space in their book of sins. LOL grin

You forgot to add the most important :

Church leaders don't lead by example. People are getting frustrated due to high level of sexual abuse, scam, silly politicking in the church and other sorts of hideous vices committed in the name of god. Catholic priests score the highest point in those naughty, wicked, morally reprehensible misbehaviors.


And Christianity encourages and support immoral acts like slavery, child abuse, rape, irrationality, bigotry, prejudice, racism and numerous evils.

XavierBlue:
Back in the early 1990's when Christianity was dominating others forms of religion, a lot of people flock to church. But those numbers seems to reduce over the years. The reasons are put below, though some are assertions.

1. CHURCH ARE FULL OF HYPOCRITE.

No need to debate on this fact as its all clear and decipherable. Perhaps, even in-eradicable. We all say one thing and do the other, we all criticize people and still turn around to indulge in the same acts we were vehemently against. The church is full of this set of people, thus making people lack the desire to go to church. Yes.. I am an hypocrite, but with all due respect, you are also an hypocrite.

2. THE CHURCH IS BORING.

You could chose to debate on this. Since when was the church meant to be entertaining?. Well! The church has witness a dramaticall change over the years, and to some people, this assertion is true.

3. THE CHURCH IS EXCLUSIVE.

The church has an exclusive message, which is for everyone. The thing is, every one knows the message, "jesus brings salvation" etc. So why bothering going to church to hear a repetition of it?. This is also one of the reason why people stay back from church, to them, they know the message the bible and church is relaying.

4. THERE DON'T HAVE TIME.

This is undoubtedly any major point. Simple, they don't have the time or are two busy. People who are on work shift during the weekend also fall into this category. This is priority issue, but a valid reason nonetheless.

5. THEY DON'T HAVE CLOTHES.

Though this shouldn't be an excuse for Christians to stay back from church as they worship the Lord and not men, it is a reason why some people stay back from church.
I know of a church that laughs sadornically at members that repeat clothes and attire. The act alone is appaling. Instead of being laughed at, some people choose to stay at home and avert such mortification.

6. LIFE IS BETTER WITHOUT RELIGION.

This is an assertion but With that perspective, people tend to neglect church since its the "pillar" of religion. Going by the norms and commandments of the church by being a Christian are hectic for others. For me, i don't care much about religion but a better relationship with God. Some people that neglect church also hold to this assertion.

7.THE CHURCH WANT YOUR MONEY.

This is undoubtedly another congent reason. If you go to a church that talks more about offering and ransom than sermon, you'd found this a valid point. Maybe the church is faced with financial difficulties.
I think The Leaders should do more about praying and trusting, for God will provide.
However, am ain't advocating that members shouldnt give to the church but It appalling for leaders to "CHALLENGE" members into giving, it should be a thing of the mind.

If you have a different perception of the amazing nature of the God who created you, you should find ways to reorganize your priorities around such a wonderful God.

How am i lying. Is it because you are so blindfolded that you failed to recognize those naughty content of the bible. You shove it as irrelevant but it is still part of the bible.

The bible support slavery, the bible commands the extermination of certain tribes for just no cause. Pick your bible and Start reading all of it not some parts. I can't start teaching you your bible because you choose those parts that seemed good but throwaway a bunch of others that are preposterous and vulgar.

Re: 7 Reasons Why People Dont Go To Church by DavidEsq(m): 8:47am On Aug 16, 2015
Your use of the word "the" is out of place, especially when you are not referring to a particular church. "The church is boring". The use of "the" in the sentence presupposes that you are not referring to churches in a general sense. You also fell a victim of this "trending" misconception of the word "there" with the word "their". Whatever may be the reason for this nasty and avoidable goof common with most Nigerian youths, certainly, interference of mother tongue should not be a causative factor because the proliferation of "phonetics", especially among the ladies and swagacious dudes points to the fact that interference of the mother tongue is little of an issue in present-day spoken English. Thus, the cause of this avoidable misconception is simple: we don't read or we no longer read with an educative motive. These and a host of other nasty and avoidable flaws are the factors that informed our Ex-Colonial masters that we must write and pass an English proficiency test, to be qualified to pursue a Masters degree in the UK, despite our colonial heritage. Please let's take it on ourselves to correct one another in our spoken and written English. Besides all my plenty yakking, the write-up is so spot-on(what we call "on point"wink. I hail evri bodi 4 haus wey no gri go church o!

God is Christianity
Jesus Christ is God

These are the hypocrites u talked about. Preaching the gospel of going to church, loving God and loving your fellow man but do everything that negates such doctrine. Imagine your monicker. Even if buhari was caught red handed Killing your father, does your Christianity not preach forgiveness in the face of persecution or wicked actions against you? was Jesus not the same person who was being whipped like a dog, hung on a cross and still piereced while there, yet found a place to forgive those who mistreated him even at the point of death. I feel bad sometimes to have been raised in an Christianity dominated setting because sometimes religions like Christianity are a curse n cancer to morality and right thinking.
