am not here to state or discuss which church or ministry i attend cos according to the saying,, no body fit talk say e mama food no sweet. Straiight to the point : Bieng in the right church is the first process to attaining life, you cant be in the wrong place and expect God to give u ur enternal reward. Besides that we heard about eddy nnogu (for those living in the south east) and we heard about rev. King (for those living in lagos anddd enviirons) and plenty other places of worship where is being found oout to be worshiping satan in the guise of worshiping God, ask yourself, if Jesus was to come, what would have been their fate ? Secondly besides church doctrines, we should take time to study the bible on our own cos a lot of the pastors are there cos of selfish interests, they extort and tax their members while amassing great wealth for themselves, weve seen it in todays world where they build business empires from proceeds made from the church, lavishing church funds in luxuries. To be honest a lot of them do not even know the truth about God Churches that condone wrong doing could not be said to be frrom God. Many times we have heard church leaders who are gay, child molesters, who are still left unpunished,, the worse they done is to transfer them to continue their undoings. The truth is that if we assume that cos we are born into a particular faith as yardstick that we are on the right one, who knows we might actually be wrong, what we should do is to study the bible, doing so without sentiments, honestly praying to God to help u out, u can then make the choice I wish all of us the best Cheeers 1 Like |

[quote author=teebiz]The reasons why i am a Jehovah's witness: “Every good tree produces fine fruit, but every rotten tree produces worthless fruit.”—MATT. 7:17. JESUS said that those falsely professing to serve him would be distinguished from his true followers by their fruits—their teachings and their conduct. (Matt. 7:15-17, 20) Indeed, people are inevitably influenced by what they take into their mind and heart. (Matt. 15:18, 19) Those who are fed falsehoods produce “worthless fruit,” whereas those who are taught spiritual truth produce “fine fruit.” 2 The two kinds of fruits have become clearly manifest during this time of the end. (Read Daniel 12:3, 10.) False Christians have a distorted view of God and often a hypocritical form of godly devotion, whereas those having spiritual insight worship God “with spirit and truth.” (John 4:24; 2 Tim. 3:1-5) They strive to display Christlike qualities. But what about us personally? As you consider the following five identifying marks of true Christianity, ask yourself: ‘Do my conduct and teachings clearly harmonize with God’s Word? Do I beautify the truth in the eyes of those searching for it?’ Live by God’s Word 3 “Not everyone saying to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter into the kingdom of the heavens,” said Jesus, “but the one doing the will of my Father who is in the heavens will.” (Matt. 7:21) Yes, it is not the professing of Christianity that pleases Jehovah but the practicing of it. For Christ’s true followers, that involves their whole way of life, including their attitude toward money, secular work, entertainment, worldly customs and celebrations, and marriage and other relationships with fellow humans. False Christians, however, adopt the thinking and ways of the world, which have become increasingly ungodly during these last days.—Ps. 92:7. 4 Accordingly, the prophet Malachi wrote: “You people will again certainly see the distinction between a righteous one and a wicked one, between one serving God and one who has not served him.” (Mal. 3:18) As you reflect on those words, ask yourself: ‘Do I blend in with the world, or do I stand out as different? Do I always strive to fit in with my secular associates, whether at school or at work, or do I remain firm for Bible principles, even speaking up when appropriate?’ (Read 1 Peter 3:16.) Of course, we do not want to appear self-righteous, but we should stand out as different from those who do not love and serve Jehovah. 5 If you see room for improvement, why not pray about the matter and seek spiritual strength through regular Bible study, prayer, and meeting attendance? The more God’s Word becomes a part of you, the more you will produce “fine fruit,” including “the fruit of lips which make public declaration to [God’s] name.”—Heb. 13:15. Advocate God’s Kingdom 6 Jesus said: “To other cities I must declare the good news of the kingdom of God, because for this I was sent forth.” (Luke 4:43) Why did Jesus make God’s Kingdom the main theme of his ministry? He knew that he himself as King of that Kingdom, along with his resurrected spirit-begotten brothers, would deal with the root causes of mankind’s woes—sin and the Devil. (Rom. 5:12; Rev. 20:10) Hence, he commanded his followers to proclaim that Kingdom until the end of the present system of things. (Matt. 24:14) People who merely profess to be followers of Christ do not engage in this work—in fact, they cannot. Why? For at least three reasons: First, they cannot preach what they do not understand. Second, most of them lack the humility and courage needed to face the ridicule and opposition that may result from sharing the Kingdom message with their neighbors. (Matt. 24:9; 1 Pet. 2:23) And third, false Christians do not have God’s spirit.—John 14:16, 17. 7 Christ’s true followers, on the other hand, understand what God’s Kingdom is and what it will accomplish. Moreover, they give the interests of that Kingdom priority in life, proclaiming it worldwide, with the help of Jehovah’s spirit. (Zech. 4:6) Are you having a regular share in this work? Are you trying to improve as a Kingdom proclaimer, perhaps by spending more time in the ministry or by being more effective in it? Some have tried to improve the quality of their ministry by making better use of the Bible. “The word of God is alive and exerts power,” wrote the apostle Paul, who made it his custom to reason from the Scriptures.—Heb. 4:12; Acts 17:2, 3. 8 When in the door-to-door work, a brother read Daniel 2:44 to a Catholic man and explained how God’s Kingdom will bring about true peace and security. The man responded: “I really appreciate your opening the Bible and showing me what the scripture said instead of just telling me.” When a brother read a scripture to a Greek Orthodox woman, she asked a number of good questions. In this case too, the brother, along with his wife, answered from the Bible. Later, the woman said: “Do you know why I was willing to talk with you? You came to my door with the Bible, and you read from it.” 9 Of course, our literature is important and should be offered in the field. The Bible, however, is our primary tool. So if it has not been your custom to use it regularly in your ministry, why not make it your goal to do so? Perhaps you could select a few key texts that explain what God’s Kingdom is and how it will solve specific problems that concern people in your neighborhood. Then be prepared to read them as you preach from door to door. Proudly Bear God’s Name 10 “‘You are my witnesses,’ is the utterance of Jehovah, ‘and I am God.’” (Isa. 43:12) Jehovah’s preeminent Witness, Jesus Christ, considered it an honor to bear God’s name and to make it known. (Read Exodus 3:15; John 17:6; Hebrews 2:12.) In fact, because Jesus proclaimed his Father’s name, he was called “the Faithful Witness.”—Rev. 1:5; Matt. 6:9. 11 In contrast, Haba, this is two much na; did you study History or Literature? We expected not more than two sentence answers to the question i.e. the name of your church and your reason for the choice of that church...not epistle for publication. Meanwhile, I thought I they say Jehovah Witness is not a Church? am curios anyways. |

Anglican church. I'm not sure what to say to the other half of your question. I attend anglican church cause i was born into it, but I've also been to a good number of churches before. I attend church cause i feel the happiest in the house of God, cos i learn something new that'll help in the comin week, cos i get to dance away my troubles, and because I'm always at peace in church away from the troubles of the world. |

Re: Which Church Do You Attend And Why? by unongu(m): 8:53am On Dec 11, 2012 |
I attend the Catholic Church for so many reasons, but I will mention just three;1. I the Church is called Catholic on the ground of its worldwide extension, its doctrinal completeness, its adaptation to the needs of men of every kind, and its moral and spiritual perfection (St. Cyril)... 2. The Catholic Church celebrates the sacraments and worship the LORD essentially the same way since the time of Christ... 3. Catholic Church was founded by Christ himself (Matt 12:30, 16:18-19) and was later moved to Rome by Apostle Peter after he fled Jerusalem during the persecution of Christians. Note that Apostle Peter is the First Leader/Head of CHRISTIANS, otherwise known as POPE. From the time of Apostle Peter till date, there have been 256 Popes in direct succession to him. The position of Pope was established by Christ and the office has been maintained in an Apostolic manner since the time of Christ.
