EmtolalaaPRAISE:
I remember one day I went to a church and the sister in front of me wouldn't let me pray. I just picked up my Bible and left the church because most sisters were dressed that way.

I can't be in church and be high in the spirit knowing it wasn't of the Lord lol! No I can't. It's not because I'm corrupt. Ladies that dress to kill , I have this to tell you, you do not know how a man thinks, so don't act like you've been a man before, like you reincarnated to be a woman. You cannot think like men, you cannot think like a man and act like a woman. For me, it took me time but God solved that mathematics for me lol!

However, you cannot finish slaying a man in church and expect him to come and minister to you in spirit, mbanu, sister Kolewerk! If he wanted to get all that high, he could decide to visit a porn site or go to a club where everything goes.

I am no preacher but please some of you that dress to church like it's your last day to attend a night club, please stop it. It is not good. That is why some people go to church without understanding anything. See it happens in a man's head not your head. It is not about why he did not focus. At least reduce the distraction ni!

One cannot finish fighting temptations and winning outside and come inside the church a supposed place of refuge to be slain eh? Why nu? Lol...

Emtolalaa Praise has spoken his mind!

I don't really understand this kind of dressing to the house of God. this is so wrong. just to seduce men. God punish the devil.

ifex370:
Pastors. Pls caution the ladies... Its too much these days

yeah but the men don't need to be cautioned because they're saints and don't dress indecently to church too

Saint judges I hail o

Well said! They either do it intentionally or ignorantly.but why dress provocatively to church; especially those youth churches under our big churches in Lekki/v/I. You make sensitive guys be on their way to hell while u think u will make heaven abi?

Ichietome:

Well the church is not just any public place.
Any Christian must imbibe the basic tenets of Xtianity-charity. How would you claim to be christ-like yet you dress indecently? Dressing good doesn't mean you have to be half-naked. Do not by your actions put others to the test.

lmao the last time I checked. Dressing doesn't define morality.

dangotesmummy:
news flash. [b]Church is a public place. [/b]Like a hospital or cinema where any and every person with different orientation and belief system can walk into and so you may see the outfit as indecent but the wearer doesn't

You have to carefully select your choice of words otherwise the gullible might be led into believing unrealistic things. The church might be a public place but, there's certain protocols/ tradition followed, which has been in existance for a long time........until recent years.

I might not be a christian but, I would never disrespect the laws of christianity simply because they generally dont apply to me. The killer here is, its the same christians that are here preaching "public place", which to the gullible means any self expression is allowed. Which if you think of it is, though it still has to be kept decent and holy.

Muslims are far better than Christians in terms of dressing to church.

As much as I do not support indecent dressing anywhere, be it in church, school, workplace etc.. I need you to understand this

errmm uncle jagugu the way 21st century Christians sit on their high horses dishing out judgements, you'll think they're saints with no human or moral flaws

And for the records Jesus said in the Bible I DID NOT COME FOR THE SELF RIGHTEOUS BUT FOR THE SINNERS.A HEALTHY PERSON HAS NO NEED FOR A DOCTOR, ONLY THE SICK DO SO if you know you're so holy and perfect you don't need to be in church

Speaking of which clothes do not define morality. If you go out, you'll see s.u ladies always tying scarf on their hair,they don't wear jwellry or trousers yet they're the ones gossiping at offices,inflating prices of goods,using God's name and outward holiness to defraud people .leave story for the gods jare

Bottom line is that the church was made for liars,prostitutes,ritualists,deviants etc but now Christians have tuned it to a place of vindictiveness,show of self righteousness ,display of their new cars etc

Sinners are everywhere and they include this one typing here. That doesnt mean we should go out of our way to intentionally be immoral just because its 21st century.

Anyway, I'm sure we are all brought up in this manner that when a child is wrong, they should be reprimanded, rather than being let be. For they'll then assume they did nothing wrong. As humans, its naturally build in to make mistakes, do wrong unintentionally etc.....but we are then taught to be better, learn from those and move on.

The church was made for sinners who try to make a good living by coping from the life of Jesus Christ and all his teachings. Meaning, we should try to live better and do better, try and stay away from sin, try and be Godly.............and the only way to achive that is to say no to wrong doing. That is not being judgmental but rather, helping each other to be better people

Funny how we remember 21st century when it best suits us, just funny.....and no, I am no Muslim.

Happy Sunday

Well decency defines responsibility

CHRISTIAN71:

You are a lady and CAN'T' CLAIM YOU KNOW WHAT GOES THROUGH AN ACTIVE MAN MIND. Notwithstanding, Christianity is a personal race and until when you see your ultimate goal as christ, overcoming certain temptation irrespective of the environment would be impossible. Always remember the world has become increasingly spiritual, the fight is on n real n only the strong would eventually win this race. Stay blessed.

what goes on in the mind of an "active man". With the way you sound,you'll almost think that thing in between your legs is almost impossible to be controlled. Is it not a member if your body?

The last time I checked the bible Paul admonished Christians (Christ followers) that whatever is pure, whatever is holy and of good report should be meditated upon.

Ichietome:

Well decency defines responsibility

o please decency is relative.whatever is decent to you could be indecent to me and vice versae.we don't have the same mind,school of thought or see things the same way.our orientation and values are different so your own version of decency can be different from what I call decent

That includes responsibility. I'll give you an example. The Nigerian society defines a person as responsible if he's married or if she's married regardless of whether he or she has a job. To the society he's responsible. To others a man that gets drunk or always attacks his wife is irresponsible to some and for others they'll say he's responsible as long as he's paying the bills.so everyone's idea of decency and responsibility is different

thesicilian:
Would you have picked up your books and left if it happened in class? Or an exam hall? You just were not ready for church so you looked for an excuse to leave.
In as much as many of these ladies need to be sanctioned by ushers and ministers for their indecent exposures, you just cannot blame others for your own actions and inactions. That is the bitter truth. If you truly believe in Christ, then you'll know that your reason for leaving will definitely not stand on the last day.

The Bible says we should flee from Temptation, Simply obaying the scripture

lonelydora:
That is how one girl was disturbing me everytime in the church , and even told my friend she wants me to friend her as a married man. She intentionally comes to church late so she can locate where I'm sitting and sits beside me. Omo, that's how I linked her with one of visiting friends from Lagos. Till date, I no longer get distracted by her. She dresses moderately now.


Op, come to house on the rock in Port Harcourt and see dressing. Chaiiiii, you guys are reminding me things I did when I was in the world. Lol

were is HOTR in Port Harcourt located pls

of course I'm a sinner and I admit my frailties but I don't go around saying you're a sinner because you're wearing short skirt or you will go to hell because of painted nails.those are display of self righteousness. No one has any right to change anyone's behavior or way of doing things.at best you can preach to the person if he wants to listen.it's the work of the holy spirit to transform .for example if you keep judging someone who is dressing indecently according to your standard if she doesn't see anything indecent about what she's wearing, she might likely not change .matter of fact the judgements and vindictiveness will worsen her and if she has forceful parents or brothers,she'll dress just to satisfy them but the minute she's not around her family members, she wears anything again but when the holy sprit works in her state of mind, She'll be different in essence all this works if flesh insults and judgements you call correction cannot change anybody that doesn't want to change or doesn't see anything wrong in what she's wearing, you're just wasting your tine

Lol

COdeGenesis:
Ladies distract guys cause the said guys want to be distracted. Everything depends on your mind ,train your mind my brother. Everything is just packaging , how can u be in church and be thinking of such instead of you to concentrate on God and the word.
Some people dont know the purpose of being in church and when you lack purpose your mind lacks direction and when you lack direction
you end up with lustful and vain things.

In other news

let us not over spiritualiz simple truth..... There is a reason why it is call CHURCH not market, nor Night club. Concentrate on God and the word, is God & the word standing in front of you? how often do u play porn movie while Reading ur Bible? There is an alter call now & all tje Female in ur front We are human & there are things that can Destabilize us. Commot Monkey hand for soup so that person no go make mistake & call it human hand. Even Angels on errand couldnt resist Women. Gen 6:1-6

The Church maybe a "place of worship" but it is also a more of "place of social gathering" if you doubt it ask those that go there to look for wife or husband. You are even told to go around and shake your neighbours. That is a social place.
Ask yourself your motive for going to church?
If it is to look for a babe or dude. Then dress to catch one and be on the look out for one. For like attracts like.
So if your aim is to worship, go prepared, meditate at home so your concentration is 100%. You attention will be fully in place.You won't go to church and be looking around like you are in a market place checking for goods.
I am speaking from experience cos those days I go to church to worship, I was always so focussed that people ask me did you see lady that sat in front of you, she was dressed like a this and that , my response was always I didn't notice.

True talk, av experience such tinz severely. Very soon only women we b going to church. Men are tired of distraction. If u want to distract men, not in d church. #eyeclosed.

NotOfThis:
Focus and keep your eyes on the Pastor instead of letting them wonder about. You can't control what anyone wears but you can control your own eyes and mind. It's not difficult to do if you really want to.

na so u talk?

You wasn't just ready to be in church. ..
You would have just changed your sit.. .
You don't go to church for anyone.. .
You will keep seeing this in churches.. .
You just need the Holy Spirit to help you guard your heart from falling and distractions. ..
You see these on the streets and everywhere out there, we're the church and not the building, if you can't guard your heart out there you can't you the building we'll come to have a church...

What u did was right if "most" were dressed that way. If dat d norm there else she might jst b a visitor.


Luke 17:1-2 ( easy english )
  1. ‘Some people will try to cause other people to do wrong things. You can be sure about that’, Jesus said to those that always followed him. ‘But God will *punish every person that tries to do that.

 2. So he must stop doing it. If not, he should ask someone to hang a big stone round his neck. Then people should throw him into the sea with the stone. So he will not cause one of these little people to do "wrong things".’ 


1 corinthians 8 : 9, Rom 14 : 21
If eating meat would make my brother sin, i rather not eat meat. Dnt do whatever would make sb sin.
Meat in this case refers to d dressing.


We now have preachers who are after their belly, after what they would get and as such cannot "preach" the truth. They are called false Teachers, false prophets et.c n they r everywhere.


One of the challenges women hv is d pressure to belong, to be in vogue.
Women hv always bn at d center of all contention and issues that hv happened to mankind from creation and i ask why? I found out that they are entrusted with the key to MORALITY.
When Eve turned against God even perfect Adam couldnt RESIST her.


In conclusion, everyone is having a role to play. Play ur role righly.


I pray God lead you to a purified church where his spirit dwells n where u can find rest unto ur soul. Shalom

I do not agree that leaving the service meant he was not ready for church. I advise that he leaves the church kpatakpata and not the service only. No matter how good a pastor preaches/teachers, if his members' dressing would kill me faster than God will save me then I better be gone. You can't serve a world class menu on faeces stained dishes and turn around to blame me for getting up to leave.

You may be right, but gold wrapped up in plantain leaves is still gold. If what you want is in a hidden part of the thickest forest, you'll work your way towards it.
There are distractions in almost every endeavors we face as men, and we can't run away from all. That is the one of the reasons we close our eyes to pray.
In essence, it is better to overcome obstacles than to run away from them.
