Those who brought Christianity to Africa spend their time in town and city centres, holding glass of alcohol, drinking their way into the new year. Others hold engagement rings, kneeling in front of their heart throbs, seek their hands in marriage (“will you marry me?”) The countdown is followed by beautiful fireworks. Watch night service is a pure waste of time. Christians claim that God, given his immutability, never changes. If this is true, praying is pointless. Also, Christians claim that God is omniscient. If this is true, he has perfect foreknowledge of future events that he had foreordained. No amount of prayers would change what he foreknew and foreordained…ultimately, humans have no free will. After gaining the highest degree in philosophy at one of Europe’s oldest university and top three in the world, the idea of God, in my view, is the oldest scam. Happy New Year one and all. 1 Like |

holyfather:No I shouldn't be there but with God. I should be with God and everyone else, including you, because church is not God. So don't discourage people from coming to repentance and to God. I would discourage people from placing church over God and repentance. |

madridsta007:Again.....So, you think those who Obey the Words of Jesus Christ are backsliders and unbelievers? Jesus Christ instead calls them His friends - John 14 vs 15 - 25 & John 15 vs 14 - So what do you think that makes you? My conscience does not bite at all since I know I am doing what Jesus Christ Himself commands. Are you? |

Naija is home to d most churchy & religious ppl on earth, yet, see where we are. So sad. What I've come to realise is that religion is a smokescreen for many people... To manipulate, deceive, extort & aggrandize. We're really a terrible people especially d poor. No wonder God gives us terrible, clueless & inept leaders cuz we're a reflection of our leaders. We don't have to be religious to get it right. America is great not because of their devotion to a deity or God but doing d right thing & they continue to have great leaders as opposed to our own zombie in Aso rock. I weep. jesusjnr2020: 1 Like |

Its a Christian exercise whatever you believe comes to past, for some people it might change nothing for some its a sacrifice. Look at this at this Angle while some people will be in club and having fun in hotel and some are in a place of worship singing and praising the Lord do you think God will Ignore you, well currently i am in a church program and definitely my staying awake to praise God and sing won’t go invain.. |

Pharmboy24:There is nothing Christ-ian about the exercise. And the promise Jesus Christ made was to those who belong to Him - those who live life in submission and obedience of His teachings and commandments. Your church worships are deemed an abomination by God as they are in submission to the doctrines and traditions of men, what God warned you were lies meant to deceieve you in His name. It is better to be at a club tonight or even in a hotel having fun than to be in your churches living under the delusion that you belong to God in your deceit. |

jesusjnr2020: Not everyone who writes an exam gets admission, right? And not everyone who gets admission will eventually graduate, right? Many are called but few are chosen, right? So is the case with Crossover service. Many attend Crossover service but only a few get the needed wisdom on how to navigate the following year and even fewer obey and live in accordance with the wisdom learned in that Crossover service. Many are born but only a handful will be great...it is a choice and we all will have to make that choice! |
Re: Does Spending The Last Night Of The Year In A Church Service Make Any Difference by Kobojunkie: 4:33am On Jan 01, 2022 |
namo77:God did. He called on all or His followers to judge righteous judgments and this by judging all those who claim to belong to Him by the standard He set for them all - Jesus Christ. If your life is not Iived in submission to and obedience of the teachings and commandments of Jesus Christ , you do not belong to Him - John 14 vs 15 - 25 . It is that simple. |
Re: Does Spending The Last Night Of The Year In A Church Service Make Any Difference by namo77: 4:53am On Jan 01, 2022 |
Kobojunkie: Matthew 7 vs 1: "Do not judge, or you too will be judged. For in the same way you judge others, you will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you. "Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother's eye and pay no attention to the plank in your own eye?" Spoken by the lips of Jesus Christ himself.... And not your fun interpretation of scripture... |
