Its very funny and expected, that almost everyone who has spoken blames external factors as their reason for not going to church. Nobody blames himself Nobody blames herself. Everyone has something else to blame. But go and check, u will find many are hooked on sin and immorality. The will to serve God doesnt rely on any external factors It relies on you. 13 Likes |

Many more will stop going because church is a lie. But still many more will continue to go because man cannot live without his illusions. Take away his illusions and insanity will break out like an epidemic all over the world. Church is just one of the many illusions (idols) 6 Likes |

When you finally realize strong courageous men are gods while weak men seek imaginary gods. Believe it or not those pastors able to squeeze people's money for their lavish living are the gods of the followers. Go back to history to understand religion, Christianity came from..the european who brought it as a tool to steal our spirituality which amazed them, and they absolutely succeeded. We have lost our gifted spiritual ways to foreign ones....we are as foolish as it gets. Speaking in tongues is the most obvious fraud in Christianity. Some foolish ppl will still be asking obvious questions like so, 1. Who put us on this earth? Duh! If your parents didnt have s3x you wont be here. 2. What's our purpose on earth? Duh! Your purpose is what you make of your life. 3. What happens when we die? Duh! You are living, leave matter of the dead matter for the dead and worry about the living. Death is a complication added to the minds of the living.....as a tool to confuse and subdue. If you wanna knw no body ever dies....but are transformed for rebirth to the earth. 4. What about heaven and hell? Heaven and hell is a creation of man and the only place it exist is on earth. 5. My life has change since i became a born again......? Many dedicated christians cant say same, does it mean your God pick and choose whose successful and who's not? Newsflash unbelievers can also testify to the success in their lives. 6. Whats the secret of life?... Numbers!!! It is important in everything we do..understand it and know how to use it...... Most people use it knowingly or unknunknowingly there will be a difference in success within 2 men if one opens a shop in a community of 100 000 and the other in a community of 100. Projection is numbers, planing is numbers. We count profits and losses in Numbers, we are born on a numbered date and die on a numbered date. Physical numbers 1, 2, 4, 5, 7, 8 Spiritual numbers 3, 6, 9 7 Likes |

Omooba77:. Only a non believer will come up with this kind of write if not, a believer will write what edifies the body of Christ. There are more youths going to church nowadays. My church is a testament. Don't argue my points but rather you should draw near to God. Total fulfilment comes from God and the fulfilment you seek from the world(flesh) is temporary. You should not mistaken the fulfilment of God with that of the world. OP, I would rather you educate the youths why they should always go to church especially on Sundays and draw closer to God. They shouldn't seek fulfilment from their pastors, and show them ways they can overcome laziness and other vices so as to be in church. I speak for Christian brothers but if you belong to other religion, read and don't give negative responses. I believe whatever your belief is, you must be modest in speech. OP, your points, nonetheless, aren't put of place but as you know, world people will start saying all sorts of things. 5 Likes 2 Shares |

felixomor: true but assuming a criminal goes to church hoping to hear a word of salvation to redeem his soul but unfortunately the greedy pastor is busy preaching about tithe, offering, prosperity etc, would you blame the criminal for going home the same way he came. in those days there is always an altar call in the church, but our greedy pastors don't even Preach about salvation these days 1 Like |

AvsGot007:The question is how can God be in a book? They say the Christian God is life but if he is why is he in a book? What gives you life? The air you breathe. Right? Do you need to read a book to breathe? No, you just breathe because there's air and you have the organ to take it in. The Ancients worshipped the sun and I see sense in it because the sun is the source of life, it shines on all without discrimination, it has no pastor or prophet to convince anyone of its existence. I pray you find the God you seek but I don't think that cobbled up Christian God is God. To me he is even an idol created by men. |

escodotman:Hahahaha hahahaha. And Mosque too na. We all have our illusions. All religions are a fraud. Happy now? Until the day God speaks to everyman in unmistakable ways everyman claiming to speak on God's behalf is a liar. Let God be true and everyman a liar. Let me tell you something: in a court of law if you are being cross examined and the lawyer ask you 'Mr escodotman you say you know how much Clara paid for the contract, right? And you confidently reply ' yes, yes I know ' The lawyer will ask you' Hmmmm how do you know, how did you know?' if you say ' Mr Okoro told me that Clara paid 15k for the contract ' the lawyer will go and sit down and tell the judge 'my lord, that will be all for this witness. In order words your case is finished simply because hearsay evidence is inadmissible in court. Apply this good sense to Christianity or Islam or any religion for that matter. What are they? Paul said, Jesus said, Elisha said, Peter said, Oyedepo said, papa said, Mohammed said, Buddha said, all hearsay. God revealed his word to Paul? Fine, that is for Paul. The moment Paul says God told me that bla bla and you ought to stake your spiritual life on what I Paul, tell you just know that you are not dealing with revelation but with second hand information. Some will say there's Rhema and Logos. Rubbish. Even people who read the Quran or Shakespeare see deep things in them. 7 Likes |
