When there was only authodox Church, there was respect for God and Church, there was less crime in the society, there was love among people.....till the Penticostals start springing out,
Today they've turned Church to private business

Vulcanheph:
This also happens in RCCG, All Mega parishes in the east have Yoruba pastors while the smaller ones don't and also all state provinces are being headed by Yoruba.....but the Sheeple members will never notice this.

Charleys:
80% of yorubas are Muslims.

Most of these Yoruba pastors were born in Osun state.

Why can't they convert Osun state indegenes to christians?

But they want to go to other regions with 90% christians to convert them....


Note that every Yoruba person is related to a Muslim

The same Bible the Catholic Church gave to the world.
Seek knowledge and stop living in a world of ignorance.
And why pick on Catholic when I mentioned over 3 Universal Churches?
You should have lived by your own words and leave the first Church of God to God instead of calling them evil,I know you prefer the ritualist churches in your region to Orthodox Churches.

farem:
You exposed your ignorance on your responses.

You said it was a tribal affair, then it was clanish affairs.

You said you were republican and yet you ignorantly crave to be in charge of big churches which your Republican (narrow) minds cannot nurture from the scratch successfully not to talk of managing.

You said it was Igbo affairs. How I wish Ariara people will dash you some terrible e-slap to register their grievance on what you called Igbo affairs.

Response

This is how it works.
Most of the Meg churches in Nigeria started in the South West, which is mainly populated by the Yorubas. Naturally, the Yorubas joined the churches earlier and became Pastors earlier than most people from other tribe. They were transferred to other parts of Nigeria to start branches of the church over there.

So, naturally, those 'old' branches ( many of which were started by these Yorubas), will usually have more members, and more money than the new ones (when non Yorubas have now started becoming Pastors there) and it is not a coincidence that many of the Pastors will be Yorubas, since most of them became Pastors in the ministry before it gained ground in the east and north.

This is the simple explanation. Pls, let's not bring tribalism to divide the church of Christ.

[center][/center] don't blame d pastors,blame d gullible followers that refused to have brain

SIONKPO1:
The catholic church was so brutal,fetish and corrupt during the time of Pope Titus and others
Laslas,personal relationship with GOD is the key

SIONKPO1:
No man,you were condemning new breed Pentecostal churches because of the wrongs of some few greedy criminals who called themselves instead of the calling of GOD
BUT the flaws of Orthodox churches are enormous
Thou we are many but we are one body in christ

farem:
Read again!
The only thing you can't bring out is that no one ever collected a grown branch from any "indigene" (using word that flows with your mindset). Can you prove it?
Why is it that the ones planted and being managed by the "foreigners" (using word that flows with your mindset) are the big ones? Can you prove it?

God (life) rewards the diligent and never those who fold hands waiting for rewards!
Sitting like a lame duck and expecting who will hand over things is the beginning of misery.

Ojiofor:
No,I did not condemn any church rather I was advising my Igbo brothers who often complain of being marginalised in Yoruba owned Churches to return back to their former churches where they were baptised as christians.

SIONKPO1:
Its Christ that own church not Yoruba,Igbo or any tribe
Try to put yourself in their shoes,most provincial and regional pastors are Yoruba in RCCG,even me I detest it,at a long run it might affect RCCG negatively if worshippers of other ethnic starts taking cognicence of it.
Thou its not only peculiar to RCCG alone
* Assemblies
*Catholic
*Anglican
*Chosen etc

Ojiofor:
I stand by my position,instead of complaining in one man show churches go back to your roots.We know our roots in christianity.

SIONKPO1:
Bros,there is Tribalism in the body of Christ as practised in Nigeria today
Ask yourself,why are most provincial parish,of rccg pastored by Yoruba's
Why are most parish priests Igbo's even when its outside their environment

SIONKPO1:
Most people let orthodox church(root), because they feel that they were caged(manifesting your gift)
RCCG and others should have a very good structure that will easily absolve and carry along people of other Ethnic groups in its decision making
***The church will keep marching on

unfortunately the followers RE so blind,that they can't see d scam and manipulations

Futurejoy:
Why do people talk like this for christ’s Sake

maestroferddi:
So going by your flawed logic, only pastors of Yoruba extraction are hardworking in RCCG?

You are supposed to be educated, ogbeni....

abeg where d church,make them dey pay me to attend too

farem:
Listen to yourself! I don't want to know what's happening in rccg, you that's there should tell us.
Since it's now clear that the grouse is against rccg, I think there should be a better avenue to cry your ass out or is there anyone here appointed to see to that?
Before I let off, you haven't still substantiated the fact that you (aborigines) started a branch from scratch and as it grew it was snatched and given to another (alien).
That's the only thing that will make your cries,and grieves meaningful here.
Thanks

Chanchit:
What is this one saying. I'm not talking about churches sef. I only go to church cos I get paid to attend a service. What I'm talking about is the properties Igbos stand to lose when we break up.

Eastlink:
Lessons learnt! Any Christian who failed to learn in this COVID 19 epidemic will never learn again. My Thithes will never go to Pastors again, I'll give them to charity than fill the pockets of material ego maniacs. Charity was what Christ preached and not thithing. And any follower of Christ must begin to reach out to the poor and needy, that's where real blessing and salvation dwells.

I've learnt a great deal this period,
