I jus lost interest , a broke ass wud come to church to give testimony of how God blessed him, offers d church a huge sum, nxt week he is caught an armed robber, church nw adays is mainly a lucrutive business . All after money wit no questions of our u got it. For God sake our fore fathers were marooned, beaten and slave traded by d so called church bringers ,yet we throw out all d good things abt our customs to embrace theirs even to d extent of segregating among ourselfs. I prefer a good sunday watching beserk or one piece to wasting time in one church...bountiful offering..yuck 2 Likes |

The other day I read about a man who hasn't been to church for a while because he could not afford "offering" ,haba!, for giving the young man such ideas and feelings, that church or whosoever owns it, definitely not God has FAILED!, failed in his assignment to nuture the sheep that the Lord has saved.. Why should anybody feel that way if not that the "CHURCH" has given such illusions,. I am of this church, oh, I am of that church, my church preach the truth, oh! My pastor is the only true man of God, CANAL!. Many owners of church gives their member this wrong teaching but I asked, is CHRIST divided? Was any of your pastor crucified for you or was any Christian baptized in the name of any man except Jesus? 1st Corinthian 1:13. Unless we go back to the old order of what a CHURCH should be, we might never be able to overcome this scourge that has continually diminish the authority of God through Christ Jesus in the lives of present day Christians |

Iamzik:The christian God is life isn't he? That's why I mentioned breathe. Nobody exerts any effort to breathe. What I mean is that God should involve no process like tuning in. But to respond to you more directly on the tuning thing, I tuned and tuned, I remained still, read the word, pined to hear a word for years until I knew no Christian God is out there to speak to me. |

Hmn. I have read so many comments here. Let me be honest with you all. I started going to church at a very early age ( White Garment church ) but I have never felt or saw it as a big deal. It was just a normal thing for me and I did not feel any different after those services. I have also attended Pentecostal Churches as an adult ( RCCG and MFM ) and I still feel the same as I have always felt since my childhood. Something just tells me that there is a disconnect between what Modern Christianity is offering us and what true Christianity really is. I can't point a finger to what the problem is but I feel the problem with Nigeria is that Religion is affecting the PRODUCTIVITY of Nigerians. People want Miracles without working hard to achieve things. People are not thinking deeply to solve their problems and are not willing to do any job to raise the Capital to launch their businesses. Pastors, Imams and Men of God should not be the Superstars that they are viewed as today. They should be modest and really focus on seeing to the welfare of their members with the money realized from tithes and offerings. Let the church be beautiful but modest and not extravagant. I am not just into Religion anymore. I just want to make the best out of my life, help other people achieve their dreams and leave a legacy for my descendants. Cheers. 6 Likes 1 Share |

Mujtahida:Things just dont happen in this world. The human body is so complex and even medicine & science couldnt undstand it fully, man doesnt 'just' breathe! Some1 must have designed the breathe, cardiovascular, digestive, neurological systems, the eyes to see, those nose to breathe, blood to keep on living by supplying the tissues oxygen and the brain glucose so you dont go into schock, and hundreds&hundreds of mechanisms goin on the human body. By the way, who made the sun, the moon, the earth and all other planetary bodies? Pls dont tell me they also just come/arrive on their own 1 Like |

escodotman:Well maybe before you breathe you check all the neurological and cardiovascular dynamics involved but I know I just breathe. In, out. Simple. Who made whatever? I do not KNOW. I BELIEVE God did. But not the Bible God! If you like cry from now till forever it would not change my mind. Until the Bible God speaks I will not deceive myself to say I know anything about him just because I read a book. So outside of that book God has no existence. You hear Christians saying ridiculous things like 'the Bible says' our church is a Bible believing church' Goshhh!!! Their Bible is their God. Bibliotary. Idol worshippers just like all other religions. Who made whatever? Do you KNOW who did? Based on a book? Hahahahahah hahahaha. 2 Likes 1 Share |

Re: Why Many Youths Are No Longer Going To Church by Mujtahida: 4:53pm On Jun 11, 2017 |
escodotman:None of those abstract jargons requires you by threat or inducement to believe in them. None of those abstract jargons claim to have died for anyone, they do not ask for a relationship with you. The kind of relationship that the Bible God wants cannot be based on faith but real evidence. Is your relationship with your biological father based on faith? I have always wondered how the Bible God could for love sake give his only begotten son(remember it was a physical act) but he cannot physically speak to people today. Which is more difficult to do? And if he has done the difficult one then why not do the easy one? It's just a lie, pure cold lie. 1 Like |

Mujtahida:U keep saying the ''Christian God'' the ''Bible God'' yet you neva told us any other God you knw! Lol. You've got plenty things against the Bible, yet even when you wer in school most of the knowledge you got there were grossly helped with the aid of those textbooks and explained to you through a teacher!! Dont you get it? Everything has to be documented wether in a textbook or in a Bible. Peace |

Re: Why Many Youths Are No Longer Going To Church by Mujtahida: 5:04pm On Jun 11, 2017 |
escodotman:Understand my point. God cannot be taught! God cannot be in a book! Get it, would you? God is too vital to our lives to be a subject in a book. Do you breathe from a book? The God that lives inside the Bible is the handwork of men I know no God, the Bible God or any other. I just believe that God exist. And I believe that God is not the Bible God. You are free to follow your Bible God. After all I did until I realised I was worshiping a thing constructed by men. What's so difficult about God speaking by himself to his children in church without a pastor or prophet or human mouth piece. Until he does speak by himself I will not give credence to his claims.

Re: Why Many Youths Are No Longer Going To Church by Mujtahida: 5:14pm On Jun 11, 2017 |
escodotman:Go back and read I answered the question on who made what. But just to reiterate. I BELIEVE God created this world but I do not believe that that God is the Bible God. Bible God is spirit abi? But he claims that he talks is that not so? That's something flesh and blood does. If the Bible God is spirit let him go and relate with spirits. We are flesh and blood. We need things in flesh and blood. Man cannot live by bread alone abi? Try to live by spirit alone and see if you will not die. If God had not physically sent his son(as claimed) would you believe in his son today? So there's nothing wrong for me to demand physical evidence. 1 Like 1 Share |

escodotman:I believe because I see creation.When he speaks to me I will no longer believe, I will KNOW he exist. But for now all I can do is believe. The moment any God(as the Bible God does) begins to ask for relationship then that God must not be believed in, he must be KNOWN. But all you have even with your book is believe. He is your father but all you have is believe. Go on with it but I cannot. My heart hungers for more than believe from any God who requires relationship with me. The God I believe in is on his own and I am on my own. No demands, no relationship. Get it? |
