REASON YOU SHOULD NOT GO TO CHURCH

+ GOD never insist we should go to church
+ you will end up spending your hard earn money for offerings which will eventually go to pastor's pocket.
+ you will never see them preaching about God's kingdom but promote wealth and indecent appearance.
+ promoting fanactism
+ twisting the gospel to favour their greed
+ worshipping idols and claim to be images of saints and martyrs

keep shut already

I don't know. There's so much about the church that feels routine and mechanical now. I understand there are true worshippers, but each time I have to watch people refuse to participate in bible studies, sing and dance during praises, look bored during sermon, come late so as to skip the message entirely, and only come alive when the holy ghost-fire-the-devil and make-us-prosper intercessory prayers are on, I have to wonder why believers gather again.

If you can't feel like part of a family in a community that should be familial, I don't think there's a point being there. I'll rather stay in my house and listen to preachers on tv or be a part of a smaller fellowship of believers.

[font=Lucida Sans Unicode][size=12pt]I got thinking about this!

Why do we go to church? What benefit is there in attending church regularly… for me, for you, for others?

Here's my list and we should ponder on it if we've not been going to church.


1. The Bible indicates it’s what we should do. (Hebrews 10:25)

The Bible said we should do a lot of things including plucking our eyes if they make us sin and more.. I am yet to see niggas gouging out their eyes.. grin

You may want to go find out why the book of Hebrews said that and what the Hebrew CHURCH Was Facing AT THAT Time.

lagmostkuit:
2. You will have the opportunity to worship God.

Every minute is an opportunity to worship God. You don't need to be in Church to do so.


lagmostkuit:
3. You will likely have some of life big questions answered.

Utter nonsense..


lagmostkuit:
4. Being there will encourage your pastors and leaders.

Encourage them do what exactly? Take my money or what?

lagmostkuit:
5. You’ll be encouraged in your walk with God.

Your encouragement should come from the Bible not from Church. God does not live in Church.

lagmostkuit:
6. If you’re single, you may meet someone.

True.. Church is the best place to meet good Biitches. grin

lagmostkuit:
7. If you have kids, it will teach them to value God and His Church.

I agree.. Church is a good place to put some fear into your kids. "God is seeing everything you do".. That shiit scared me silly until I was old enough to know that was a lie. . grin

lagmostkuit:
8. It honours God.

Unfettered Lies..

God does not give a fhuck if you go to church or not.. he is more interested in how well you live your life and how you relate with the people around you.

lagmostkuit:
9. Because gathering is part of what makes u a christian.

More nonsense lies..

What makes you a Christian is believing in the death and resurrection of Christ and accepting to live your life according to the principles of Christ's teachings not going to church.

Christian means Christ like..

lagmostkuit:
10. It'll help u acknowledge and confess your sins.

Rubbish..

Thats good Op... But our going to church shouldnt be to encourage anyone or get someone to marry rather should be borne out of our LOVE for GOD and to know HIM more intimately!

I understand how you feel. but the truth is if you are a mature christian then step up and change that status quo, let them see and learn from you. If things aint working after that, I will suggest you change to a vibrant & living church to avoid dampening your spirit! go to Church!

1. The Bible indicates it’s what we should do. (Hebrews 10:25)

Wrong. The bible talks about assembly or gathering which in the early church was predominantly in homes. God never asked anyone to build new temples ( the old one was destroyed ) because the believers are now the temple and hence do not need to go to a particular place to worhsip God.

"Yet a time is coming and has now come when the true worshipers will worship the Father in the Spirit and in truth, for they are the kind of worshipers the Father seeks." - John 4:23

2. You will have the opportunity to worship God.

As previously stated, we are meant to worship God anywhere. Besides we worship God by the way we live our lives, not singing with rasied hands in church and then acting like the devil afterwards.

3. You will likely have some of life big questions answered.

Hmm, not really.

Read the word and pray, the Spirit of God will answer life's questions together with like minded brethren who have more experience on certain matters. In fact, even non-believers have answers to life's questions.

4. Being there will encourage your pastors and leaders.

Pastor and 'leaders' are not positions of authority , rather they are positions of servitude. Their primary role is to encourage believers not rob them in the name of tithes.

5. You’ll be encouraged in your walk with God.

Well, you will be encouraged anyway if you make the right friends.

6. If you’re single, you may meet someone.

Yes , but most likely one that came to church to look for a partner and not for God. After marriage they will show you pepper grin

7. If you have kids, it will teach them to value God and His Church.

Wrong. This is the parent's responsibility not pastor.

8. It honours God.

What honours God is a righteous live, not going to church. Many church goes are evil doers.

9. Because gathering is part of what makes u a christian.

Not in man made churches.

10. It'll help u acknowledge and confess your sins.

We should confess our sins in private to God.

You can hand your money over to a thief.

You can hear lies of how 'satan' and not a poor diet and a lack of sleep caused someone's father to die of a stroke.

You can hear more lies of how 'god' blessed a young lady with a new job - she forgets to tell the congregation what he had to do to earn the job.

You get to meet ashawo. Churches are full of them.

Going to church on sunday is a direct disobedience to the word of Yahweh. The commandment is Remember the sabbath day (saturday) and keep it holy.

The main reason we go to church is to worship God. Every other thing to me is secondary.
Going to church and worshipping God is not to make us feel good. That's where those of us in these latter days have missed it. We keep looking for love, holiness, entertainment etc from the church. Those things should exist INSIDE us because they are the fruits of the spirit.
Again, worship in the midst of God's people is a special thing. The apostles didn't neglect it. The Jews of the Old Testament didn't neglect it either. Let's be encouraged to continue to seek God and worship with other believers. Going to church is a PUBLIC pronouncement that we are Christians.

I'll have to disagree with you. Every action of man can be an act of worship. And that means God can be worshipped everywhere. Now church is basically about worshipping and fellowshipping with other believers. The key thing is family because the church is the body of Christ. Is that body isn't functioning as one-- and by that I mean one heart, one mind, one soul, then it is not even scratching the surface of what a family of God is about.

Of course God can be worshipped everywhere I don't dispute that fact. But in my opinion corporate worship with other believers also helps strengthen our faith. The church is meant to be one family, but it cannot be perfect here on earth. We will always meet people and attitudes that disappoint us in church and that make us wonder if it's worth it. But it doesn't mean that we give up. We continue to pray for the church including ourselves until the day of the Lord.
And yes,we can change to another church if we feel we are not growing where we are. It's the 'feel good' feeling we have to guard against. We can't always get it and if we keep seeking it we may end up changing church every week. We should rather seek where we can grow in the Word and beware of the doctrines of men.
