What about the part of the that says women shouldn't teach/preach and hold silence in public. Now that women are preachers and teachers, does that modernisation not bother you, or are you only bothered by the ones you are uncomfortable with? 1 Like |

sotall: This doesn't really make any meaningful sense. You have blamed Christianity and Islam for the woes of the country. You also said that a good number of blacks have woken up from the slumber of practicing these 2 religions. But u fail to link the good number of people that woke up to any real progress anywhere. U also failed to actually link the religions to the woes of the country. Then u claimed that the religions centres if converted to factories will do a lot of good. I tend to agree, but who will convert them? Did these religions stop anyone from building the factories? Are they actually to blame for the lack of factories? |

Why, because she observed her new Church is not organized as She hoped. I was wondering, which is better. Is it better for God to lead her to the right place, or is it better for her to listen to excited mortals. AgentNnamdi: |

isabi2lof: Muslims comments on christian thread constructively. Have you ever seen where Muslims insult Jesus or any Christian prophets in the Bible. Muslims highly respect Jesus and other prophets mentioned in the bible. But that cannot be said about you guys when on Islamic thread. From Insulting the religion of Islam to calling the Prophet unprintable names. Some even ignorantly insult Allah(God) the creator of all of us |

Truthday:You are simply referring to misdirected and shallow Christians...they don't understand what it takes to be committed to Christ...they are still coming up,if you check them in the next 15 to 20years they will be full of fire for God. But you see islam it draws you closer to the devil...the longer you stay in islam the more evil inclined you become. Its a hole the leads to darkness.

layzie: Who is going to build the factories and research centers when majority only believe in prayers? Remember i am emphasizing the word "majority". For there to be a change, majority has to be re-informed and dissuaded from the way they think. Those who are supposed to build the factories, research centers and bring about innovation and invention are in the churches and mosques praying. |

It may be one of those students fellowship centers, where anything goes. That they speak in tongue does not measure their level of spirituality. Serve your God with pure heart and clean hands The issue of dress ,if it were overseas countries during winter ,women wear thermal wear and trousers.cover there whole bodies, but during summer their dressing is in moderation. |

Modernization is man's creation. It does not change God who is the ancient of days. He lives outside of time and he has told us to be modest in all our doings. Most of those churches where they do such things do not worship the true God. They just come to church and make noise with their praise and worship then go home feeling absolutely empty. 1 Like |

samuelson06:I like the way you started that you are regulated by the Bible. The Bible have one message. Our interpretation isn’t the Bible message . We must constantly look at our interpretation and constantly a check and ensures it always in tandem with the Bible. We should even adjust our interpretations in the light of better understanding. Imports too, the Bible ask us not to Judge. Those skirt like dress or clothes looking like gowns in those day were the acceptable way of dressing for that time (remember I said in my first reaction that we should be careful about how people judge at a time or age). Still even then, men’s clothing were easily recognizable and differentiated from womens. I am not against trousers as their are trousers that a guy wouldn’t wear without looking odd as people generally at this time recognize it to mean it’s a ladies trousers. In this vein, my associating some particular dressing to yahoo yahoo people it’s not just me it is how the general recognize it at this time...{I had to break}... we shouldn’t pretend like we don’t know this kind of dressing. Moses was mistaken for an Egyptian by the midianites because of the way he dressed. It was not the personal interpretation of the observers then, people generally then as they would now know how Egyptians dress. God should be glorified in our conducts as well as clothing. If somebody that dresses ok is bad in character then that person has only scored 50 over 100 it’s the same way has person that dresses badly but has good character |

Re: Modernization In The Church! I Felt Odd by JohnBullMySon: 3:00pm On Jul 02, 2023 |
Reality3080:Moral decadence from a religious interpretation right? Why not face the real moral decadence which can be seen in the selfish and bigoted attitude of Nigerians? There's absolutely no way you can prove that a style of dressing is moral decadence without involving spirituality. However, you are free to live how you're most comfortable with. Just don't suffocate those who chose the 'wrong' way. This world does not belong to anyone. 1 Like 1 Share |

OluwaLina1: My sister, know your stand in faith. God standards superced man's standard and God can never lower His standard because of anyone. The Bible says "You shall know the truth and the truth shall set you free". If you actually know the truth and you failed to do it, it can never set you free. Walking with God entails determination and commitment. You don't belong to that kind of a Church, it is better to move out. Do not rely on man in your walk with God. Look for a Bible believing Church where you can grow your faith. Many are called but few will be chosen. Try and get your acquainted with the book of Jeremiah. God bless you |

At least you seem to have some self restraint. But do you understand the Gospel. And Christianity is not in competition with any religion, even if almost all the world left it, it does not change the good news. It does not make it any lesser, neither does it diminish the Hope of the Gospel. People leave religion all the time, because they get tired of being oppressed or they are shocked at certain things, or they have certain convictions. However each person should have the opportunity to choose what they believe. Your religion, does not even give people the chance to leave it, without the threat of a death sentence. There are cases of such in Iran, Sudan and even Nigeria. Although i think in southern Nigeria, they could leave without been killed or threatened or ostracized. In Iran people are leaving their religion many are atheist and many are becoming Christians, because the Iranians were very intelligent people and they can reason, so when they recognized the leadership was becoming extreme, they got tired.
