Makschinchin:

Some Christians hardly ask others about their personal relationship with Jesus, but are quick to remind them of their absence in church each Sunday. These things ought not to be so. People may have their reasons for not going to church.
Well the truth is, in my experience I have discovered there is a close relation between people's relationship with God and their desire for his house/presence. A person truely drawn to God has a strong longing and desire for the presence and tabernacle of God. The moment you lose it, you sin more often, you hardly pray, no worship life etc.

Re: Why Didn't You Go To Church?? Sundays Frequently Asked Question by Nobody: 8:14am On Feb 03, 2019
Jesus Christ never mentioned going to Church as a means of salvation, did he? I'm just curious here.

[quote author=Zoharariel post=75369173]I stopped going to the Church because so many things are wrong with its doctrine & holy book.

And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free. - John 8:32

The doctrine of Christian theology states that "the human authors and editors" of canonical scripture were led or influenced by God.

Paul also wrote in "2 Timothy 3:16" that - All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness.

Now, bring out your Bible and let us find out if the Bible is truly inspired by God. grin

1.) Who incited David to count the fighting men of Israel?

* God did (2 Samuel 24: 1)

* Satan did (1 Chronicles 2 1:1)

2.) In that count, how many fighting men were found in Israel?

* Eight hundred thousand (2 Samuel 24:9)

* One million, one hundred thousand (I Chronicles 21:5)

3.) How many fighting men were found in Judah?

* Five hundred thousand (2 Samuel 24:9)

* Four hundred and seventy thousand (1 Chronicles 21:5)

4.) When David defeated the King of Zobah, how many horsemen did he capture?

* One thousand and seven hundred (2 Samuel 8:4)

* Seven thousand (I Chronicles 18:4)

5.) How many were the children of Zattu?

* Nine hundred and forty-five (Ezra 2:cool

* Eight hundred and forty-five (Nehemiah 7:13)

6.) How many were the children of Azgad?

* One thousand two hundred and twenty-two (Ezra 2:12)

* Two thousand three hundred and twenty-two (Nehemiah 7:17)

7.) How many were the children of Adin?

* Four hundred and fifty-four (Ezra 2:15)

* Six hundred and fifty-five (Nehemiah 7:20)

8.) How many were the children of Hashum?

* Two hundred and twenty-three (Ezra 2:19)

* Three hundred and twenty-eight (Nehemiah 7:22)

9.) Jesus descended from which son of David?

* Solomon (Matthew 1:6)

* Nathan(Luke3:31)

10.) How did Simon Peter find out that Jesus was the Christ?

* By a revelation from heaven (Matthew 16:17)

* His brother Andrew told him (John 1:41)

11.) According to the Gospel of John, what did Jesus say about bearing his own witness?

* If I bear witness to myself, my testimony is not true (John 5:31)

* Even if I bear witness to myself, my testimony is true (John 8:14)

12.) Did Judas kiss Jesus?

* Yes (Matthew 26:48-50)

* No. Judas could not get close enough to Jesus to kiss him (John 18:3-12)

13.) Did Jesus bear his own cross?

* Yes (John 19:17)

* No (Matthew 27:31-32)

14.) Did Jesus ascend to Paradise the same day of the crucifixion?

* Yes. He said to the thief who defended him, Today you will be with me in Paradise (Luke 23:43)

* No. He said to Mary Magdelene two days later, I have not yet ascended to the Father (John 20:17)

Brethren, I have more but I'll stop here for now because if I continue Christianity will end in Nigeria today. grin

The logical & sensible folks amongst you will agree with me that a Book riddled with so much errors & contradictions , not to talk of lies cannot be held as Holy & Sacred. grin

These white people came to Afrika to rape & conquer your ancestors, stole their lands & looted their natural resources - and still forced them to be paying contributions to them in form of "Tithes & Seed Offerings".

That was in the 18th Century but now, we're in the 20th Century. Stop enriching these thieves with your Tithes & Seeds. Channel those monies instead into empowering your friends, family members, widows & orphanage homes around you.

If you stop paying your Tithes & Seeds to the Church, trust me, nothing will happen to you. That fear mechanism was put in place in the Bible in order to put you in perpetual fear & submission - while robbing you of your money without using a machine gun. grin

There's no devourer anywhere, there's no Heaven and there's no Hell. All those nonsense are figments of your Pastor's imagination. grin

Look at our societies? It is nothing but a reflection of the lies, greed & hypocrisy that is ingrained in the foundation of every religious institution.

Leave your Pastors & G.Os to continue preaching their outdated gospel of Tithes collection & Seed Offerings. The Church shouldn't be regarded more than a social gathering where people go to have fun in order to relieve stress & boredom. grin

In conclusion, as the general secretary of the "Free The Sheeples Movement", I send you back to your Church as sheeps in the midst of "wolves of extortion": be ye therefore wise as Python, and harmless as AK-47. grin

They succeeded in fooling your parents, do not let them fool you again!

If Adeboye, Oyedepo, Oyakhilome & others want to give God money, let them sell their Private Jets, Real Estates & Rolls Royces - and transfer the money into Yahweh's GTB & Zenith Bank Accounts. Hahahahaaaaa! grin

I hope I have been able to convince you, and not to confuse you that - going to church is an absolutely waste of my precious time & energy. grin

Children of God, Praise Tha Lord......! grin[/

Unfortunately, many don't know this. You only gather to fellowship together which can also be achieved within the family of more than one person.
