Who tells you that traditional dancing or whatever is unchristian? You better free yourself from European psycho-religiuos slavery. European missionaries came, they condemned anything African. They told you your culture is detestable before God. Even they claimed African names are evil and unchristian; they would quickly give you European names. Not until you adopt William, Luke, Barnabas, James or Richard you are not a Christian, all because they lacked respect for anything African and see themselves as superior to Africans. I don't need to become an European before I can practice Christianity. I can be an African and be a Christian at the same time. There is nothing stops me from dancing to bata drum ( a typical Yoruba traditional drum) or ringing of bell while praising living God. whereas, these are abhorred by some churches. I don't know where it is written in the Bible that guitar, sets drum, saxophone are better than African traditional musical instruments.

Dude,, God bless u

If you see real rituals, you won't be able to cough. Do you think ritualists will post their activities online?

It's people like you that spoil things they don't understand with their mouths. Cane your lane and work for your salvation however you like. Leave others to do theirs however they like. Only God knows whose path is right. What matters is what you carry in your heart, not your denomination.

You are quick to call other people's churches cults but fail to realise that if your warped logic is used then all churches are cults. What exactly have you seen there that you don't find in every other church? Anointing of heads? Regalia? Kneeling down? Mtchewww! Hypocrites!

baba thank you... I keep saying this always, don't preach bad about heresy of someone's church especially when you've not been there to see for yourself, that's my church and I know that we are not fetish else you won't even see the pictures shown publicly, other media and TV staffs(air, ray power etc) that where there and other invities can attest to what they saw... Religion is a major issue in this country. Just do what's right salvation comes from the heart. Shalom!

it's not oh..... meanwhile if you haven't been to C n S or CCC to look for one solution it means ur village people have not really come for you....

Not every one will have their so called village people come looking for them abeg.

Still can't fathom why the whole process of coronation looks like some frat initiation process. Sword weilding men surrounding one man like it's secret cult gathering. The church has become something else.

No man can serve two masters, deres nothing wrong with African instrument, its just who is d song offered to, oru koro is a possession dance for a deity, it shouldn't be in the church, if you want to be a traditionalist be a traditionalist

What is unorthodox about their style of worship? So the motivational speakers style of worship in the name of Pentecostal is the orthodox or the right one?
Just hold on to your denomination and stop disparaging others in the name of more catholic than pope for in the last day everyone will answer his or her name devoid of denomination.

The person I was responding to asked why ppl where disparaging c& s worship
I responded its because c&s type of worship is unorthodox, if u knew wat unorthodox meant you wont be triggered by it

Partnerbiz3:

sibidabo i baate , I believe it means unconventional or a style that is out of the ordinary, A divergence from the usual standard(what is seen as the accepted way by majority of Christians)

Waribo,is there an acceptable standard as regards doctrine and mode of worship in Christiandom? Cause I'm confused over your assertion.

Waribo,african traditional mode of worship shouldn't be referred as unorthodox as there is no acceptable way or form of worship in christiandom. Africanese in religious practices is more ideal rather than the european methods adopted by the pentecoastal churches

Christianity is an European religion you can never remove its influences
If you feel its beliefs & mode of worship is too foreign for you as an African why not just become a traditionalist, afterall we have a lot of Egbesu worshippers in Nigeria.

what majority?


the majority Christians are the ancient churches that is the Catholic Church and the eastern Orthodox church and the Oriental churches, have you been to those churches so you can claim to know how the majority practice their faith?


Protestantism is actually the minority

If truly xtainity is Euro-centric as u posited and shouldn't be adulterated in any form,then it behoves on me to posit that the Bible and its books should have been left in its original form(Aramic).

Why did you just assume I'm a protestant

About half of all Christians worldwide are Catholic (50%), while more than a third are Protestant (37%). Orthodox communions comprise 12% of the world’s Christians. Other Christian groups, which make up the remaining 1%

Ethiopian Tewahedo Orthodox Christianity followers are also among the majorities. One of the oldest churches and Christian texts are found in Ethiopia.
