SonOfEl:
OP, you going to church is a spiritual obligation, not a religious obligation. you are going to church to WORSHIP, not to meet or please anybody. my advice to you is to go to church and worship God, don't commit yourself too much into activities considering the nature of your job. God is not vindictive. your pastor and pastor Mrs. were just being human and insensitive, but I really think you should meet them in person and tell them how their actions have stumbled you. let them know their mistake.

I doubt if you were completely innocent too. were you going to church for the money/material benefit or because you enjoy worshipping together with the congregation? be sincere with yourself sir.

the true church of God is a spiritual body, not a religious organization. it is not every sacrifice of praise and worship from people that is acceptable unto God, because most people today do not worship God IN TRUTH and IN SPIRIT. pls my beloved brother, do not fall into this category of people.

God bless you sir.

Most churches are modern scam e don tey wey me i wise but I'm inside one now cos their wifi is always on


Bunch of religious set that don't have the fear of God

chuna1985:





U don't need to go to church to worship God.

chuna1985:


The bible never told us to go to church.

ModiKen:
Thia is why I stopped going to church.

Religion is a scam!

Christianity in particular (especially in Nigeria) is a money making venture and a business entity.

Have u seen how many pastors own private jets in the country along with universities and other large business enterprises yet they have members in their churches who can't feed three times daily.

To make matters worse, you see some who shout at the top of their voices during the service "My God is not a God of N50"!

"My God is not a God of N100"!!!

"If you have any of those denominations better not come forward so God does not disgrace you.

WhatDaFvuck!!!

Some even tell members to wave their offerings in the air before coming out to give the offerings to God. Those with little denominations would simply hide theirs to avoid any form of embarassment.

For those who would say I should forget all that cos salvation is personal, I truly agree with you, hence I have decided to stop attending any church and to give 10% of my monthly salary to an orhanage of my choice or help any one in need around me.

Shikena!!!

Our pastors only think about what theyr can gain from you, not what they can give to you in the name of Christ

But guy u no try oooo.

U for inform ur pastor and im wife before leaving their church since you were a well known member, maybe the wife wouldnt have reacted that way at ur departure from their church.

jaywatt:
They ask me why I don't go to church no more, cause church is the new club and wine is the new bub, and lies is the new drugs.

Karlovich:
Young man, u don't need a church. Be good and live ur life. There are a thousand religions and how are u sure yours is the right one?

ModiKen:

SonOfEl:


a church is a spiritual GATHERING of saints. going to church is important for spiritual growth and support. you ignorantly see it as a religious obligation, it is not so. different parts of one body coming together to worship their maker.

where two or more are GATHERED to worship and pray, God is there. so my brother, go to church with a true understanding of it.

you can worship anywhere but you can't be fed anywhere. pastors, teachers, prophets, evangelist, apostle, are different offices designed by God to groom and nourish believers. wherever you are, be connected to a worship session whether online or at the main auditorium. God bless you.

SonOfEl:

study Hebrews 10:24-25.

chuna1985:







And let us consider how we may spur one another
on toward love and good deeds, not giving up
meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing,
but encouraging one another—and all the more as you
see the Day approaching.



So how does the scripture u quoted connect with going to church on Sunday

SonOfEl:


I talked about going to church, i did not say anything about any day of the week.

also, I posted something about God using pastors, teachers an co to edify the church.

whether you are connected online or in the auditorium, your have to meet or gather together as saints, a spiritual body of Christ.

chuna1985:



The bible never told us to go to church.

chuna1985:





U seem not to understand the scripture. it talks about the children of God meeting, Not going to church.

Jesus never went to church every Sunday, Jesus never told anyone to go to church at all. church is just a man made ish, in Jesus's days, They don't go to church, They only go to synagogue 4 times a year.

durubrian:


As christains , we should be Christlike, since Jesus went to the synagogue, we should follow #ChristFollowers

SonOfEl:


***laughs*** I think you are the naive one here. first of all, what is a Church? a church biblically defined, is a body of christ called together. its not a religious denomination of any sort. every true believer is a part of that body. when we are together, we are collective called a church.

the early church usually met on the first day of the week. we are not talking about the Jerusalem church, we are talking about the gentile church of Antioch, Ephesus, Rome, Corinth, etc. its a biblical fact, but it is not a doctrine or rule. so what is your point exactly?

chuna1985:





""but it is
not a doctrine ""

Son its not compulsory.

SonOfEl:


you call me "son"? ***laughs again*** anyway, a faceless forum as NL condones such remark. I know its your way of trying to belittle. I sense your insecurity and complex. anyway, at least I have given you something to think about. God bless you.

chuna1985:




Jesus went to synagogue, Thats where we should go.

OgundeleT:
to me the woman is not wrong, bcus that is how God operate: he loves you and if u dont love him by worshiping him back he will burn u in hell. The pastor's wife love you only if you can be worshiping in there parish. The earlier u know religion is a scam the better.

durubrian:


Yes ... go to the synagogue Na

SonOfEl:


spread your atheism elsewhere, you are dead on arrival.

OgundeleT:

Thank u, also try and spread ur absurdity elsewhere bcus i will always refute ur claim

SonOfEl:

well, tell that to the 6-7 billion+ theists on earth....hehehe.....

chuna1985:



There are no synagogues in nigeria.

OgundeleT:

I am telling u now bcus u are among those theist

SonOfEl:


....and as usual, its thrown right back at your face. no time for pathetic souls like you, seeing you have refused correction and counsel. IMO.....
