festacman:Her experiences were not in lagos. She impacted by what happened in anambra state. And we can't excuse what is wrong if not it wouldn't end. Christ that you and I serve would never demand money in exchange for any church service. The action is not Christianly and it can affect ones commitment to the church. I don't blame her. Again you somehow found a way to bring in tribalism into Christianity. The church is one body, be it in lagos, Rome or Anambra |

What touched me was the refusal to conduct burial mass because the deceased was owing.. The same happens in the traditional system: your loved one will not be buried because the list of drinks and kola was not complete and sadly the people insisting that "tradition must be followed" look so, I don't want to mention it sef.. That crazy part of our culture must be removed and as for the church, shame on you guys. Do you know some churches request for how much you will pay for them to come conduct burial service? Do you also know they check how well you have been paying your tithe and contributions to offerings before considering your request? Make una change o.. ![]() ![]() |

festacman:I actually did.. you talked about having a home church.. in Christianity thereally is nothing like that. The body of Christ is one. Also the doctrine same are the same. The church in Anambra should be no different from the church in lagos. And like I told you, the services of the church are 100% free. 1 Like |

breathelove: It is not the church that is different but how the church is administered given certain peculiarities in an area. By the way, Paul's letter Galatians didn't contain the same issues as his letter to the Corinthians or his letter to the Romans. Every local church has its administrative uniqueness given its challenges. You read my comments with a bit of prejudices. Open mind helps. 1 Like |

festacman:Sir, I still believe that we should be able to call out what is wrong. When we loss a family member, we expect the church to come around and support. Remember the scripture, mourn with those that mourn. We cannot condone religion extorting a grieving family. What would Christ do? Chimamanda may be the most vocal but she is not the only one that has left the church because of this. We can do better. There is no excuse to estort a grieving family. You talked about Paul writing different letters to the various churches so let me end by quoting the words of Paul 1 corinthians 1.10 I appeal to you, brothers and sisters, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that all of you agree with one another in what you say and that there be no divisions among you, but that you be perfectly united in mind and thought. 1 Like 1 Share |

breathelove: If nobody paid that developmental levy in the village to develop and run the church, there won't be any church to bury the deceased whose families can ordinarily afford to give big donation but won't. However, when they die, they will be brought home to the same poor villagers who contributed to run the church to bury. Then, why didn't the family bury the deceased in the town rather than bothering the poor village church. That's unnecessary sense of entitlement hidden under insincere Christianity. Christianity is not emotions but everyday practical living. Jesus turned water into wine to help a young couple in need even when his time hadn't come. He showed empathy and contributed to a wedding he wasn't part of it's organization rather than pleading unripeness of time. I will stop here. Thanks for engaging. |

kingxsamz:Not all religions are like this. Buddhism doesn't put any gender above the other, it's just the three abrahamic religions that teach violence and all sorts of evil. I've asked a Christian before if what God told Saul to do (kill a whole country off including babies) was a good thing, the person said yes, then I asked the person to imagine if someone comes to his house with a gun kills his whole family and says God told him to do it, how would he feel then. 2 Likes |

We should understand this before making our comments. Catholism and Catholic are two different words. Separation of the two does not make you a non member of the denomination. She remains a member of the church but does not accept some of its traditions. It is also in other churches. There are so many practices of many churches today that are against the teachings of Christ. If I find one in my church I will eschew it in my way of life but will still identify myself as a member of the church. Running from a church to another makes no meaning. |

Many of what we have as Igbo culture today was infused by the Catholic Church which has a strong hold there. An Igbo historian told me that igbo wives used to bear their fathers name prior to the arrival of the Catholic missionaries. |
