I have not attended their service from start to finish before, but I have been there to purchase a bible.
I have also, in the past, interacted with a few of the Elders.
There is no need to be afraid of going there. They are not going to "use you for rituals" or force you to do something against your will.
As for their teachings, it is up to you to decide what is truth.

Thank you for this, how would you rate their teachings? Why did you not stay all through the service? Why didn't you go back? Is their Bible completely different from the Holy Bible?

1. The bible teaches you, not God. undecided

But the Holy Bible is based generally about God.

1. God's Law, which is what you quoted from, is meant as an agreement made by God with men. So the teachings regarding you forgiving others is meant entirely for you. It is not for you to believe that God also does exactly that which He has in the contract for you to do. To God, we fall under two categories-- the unrighteous and then the righteous and those whom He delights in are the righteous whereas He urges the unrighteous to obey His Law in order that they too many be loved by Him. undecided

At that time, I was more interested in their bible and other writings than in their service. I'm not saying that was a good thing; that was just my preference at the time.
I still have their bible. It is the King James version (KJV), with both the Old and New testaments, like any other KJV bible. The only difference is that there are cross references to not just other bible verses, but to other writings.

Can you name 4 people you know that are righteous? No one is righteous, we are all sinners and born of sinners but God still loves us as sinners even if we hurt him and that's what religion teaches us.

The Church was amazing, a bit different from th churches I have been too. It doesn't feel like a cult or sect like some say. The people are nice and I will probably come back. I got there maybe 10 mins late and there was no offering collection while I was there and I got the Bible

That's good to hear.
From the picture you posted, I didn't know previously that you were away from Nigeria.
