I No Longer Go To Church On Sundays, I'd Rather Watch Religious Programs On Tv by Firefly2017(f): 11:07am On Apr 07 |
So for some years now I don't go for Sunday services regularly, reason being that I always come back feeling empty and unfilled, however, I prefer to watch these American pastors on TV and I must say I have grown a lot spiritually and I can confidently say I'm a better person for it, I truly understand the Gospel and the essence of this life from listening to these men of God. Their way of teaching the Gospel is totally different from our African pastors who focus only on prosperity, without teaching on how to connect with God by the way you live your daily life. And truly I do not feel any guilt or burden in my heart for stopping church as I eagerly look forward to spending time listening to these men of God on TV every weekend. My question now is, I'm I wrong for not going to church on Sundays, since it is written, to not forsake the gathering of belivers |

Going to church every Sunday is not possible apart from those who are idle. Productive can't meet up |

Do you go to work because your workplace is the best? Your workplace is definitely not the best but you go there hoping that you will one day move to a better workplace. Do you go to school because your school is the best? Your school is definitely not the best but you go there hoping that you will one day go to a better school. The hospital you go to when you are sick is probably not the best but you manage it. Lack of dedication is the reason you stopped going to Church. You stopped going to Church because you do not understand that showing respect to God is part of why you should be going to Church. If the Church you attend leaves your mind empty, why not join another Church? |

helinues:So, the more you miss Church on Sundays is the more you become productive? |
Re: I No Longer Go To Church On Sundays, I'd Rather Watch Religious Programs On Tv by helinues: 11:44am On Apr 07 |
immortalcrown: I didn't say that. It's not just possible for people to be attending church every Sunday apart from those who are faking it. You can't work from Monday to Friday, Owambe's on weekends and till make going to church a priority. Ko possible |

helinues:So, any student that does not miss classes fakes being a student? |
Re: I No Longer Go To Church On Sundays, I'd Rather Watch Religious Programs On Tv by helinues: 11:47am On Apr 07 |
immortalcrown: Is class same thing as church? |
Re: I No Longer Go To Church On Sundays, I'd Rather Watch Religious Programs On Tv by immortalcrown(m): 11:49am On Apr 07 |
helinues:Dedication is why a student will not miss classes. Dedicated is why a Christian will not miss Church on Sunday. It is illogical for you to say that a Christian that goes to Church every Sunday is fake. |

Firefly2017:when you are in pain and need encouragement who will come to you, will it be the man on TV, will he pass through the TV and come to you. Ministry is for we ministers to equip those we minister to, to be of service to the body of Christ and new believers. The question is, what do you do after listening to televised or online messages? |
Re: I No Longer Go To Church On Sundays, I'd Rather Watch Religious Programs On Tv by helinues: 11:52am On Apr 07 |
immortalcrown: If you missed a Sunday service, it makes no different as the message would be repeated but if you missed several classes, carry over is inevitable |

helinues:Be specific, what exactly will make you miss Church on a Sunday? Meanwhile, Christians go to Church not just for preachings but to respect God. |
Re: I No Longer Go To Church On Sundays, I'd Rather Watch Religious Programs On Tv by helinues: 11:56am On Apr 07 |
immortalcrown: Absolutely nothing cos whatever messages are repeated ones |
Re: I No Longer Go To Church On Sundays, I'd Rather Watch Religious Programs On Tv by immortalcrown(m): 11:59am On Apr 07 |
helinues:Maybe this happens in your own Church. Muslims repeat their prayers but they continue to go to Mosques. Dedication is the key thing here. Meanwhile, preaching is not the only reason for Christians to go to Church. Showing respect to God is part of the reason Christians go to Church. So, stop fooling yourself. |

immortalcrown: My own church? I can't even remember the last time I stepped into any church. What are they doing there? |
Re: I No Longer Go To Church On Sundays, I'd Rather Watch Religious Programs On Tv by immortalcrown(m): 12:01pm On Apr 07 |
helinues:You can't remember the last time you entered a Church but you are sure that every Church repeats sermon? Mention those Churches that repeat sermons for you. 1 Like |

I understand you. Go for Bible studies or weekly fellowship if you can. They are cell-like and more likely you will feel included though most are nothing to write home about. Keep an open mind, pray and expect to meet genuine believers you can relate with. |

Firefly2017:You still v to go. Just try and find a true church. Highest you can do is not to join their workers but you v to be in church to get regular teachings. Live matches at stadium no be like the one on TV. Also, keeping touch with church blends you more in the ways of God. If ya personal relationship come dey bring see finish or some kinda extreme issues, just be an ordinary member.

Firefly2017:Whether you are watching the American ones or the Nigerian kind, it's all the same religious scam. And no, you haven't grown at all "spiritually" as you claim, rather the delusion has become more convincing to you. If you spent much of that time practicing a new hobby or learning a new craft, you would gain a lot more meaning to you. |
