Why I don’t go to church – Vector Tha Viper

Famous Nigerian rapper, Vector Tha Viper has revealed why he doesn’t attend church, disclosing that he doesn’t believe in church as an edifice.

Speaking in a recent episode of the BTC podcast, Vector explained that he believes in church as “a human being” not a building.

He claimed that the bible emphasises that God is more interested in human heart, stressing that the church is inside the person and not merely a building.

“I don’t believe in church as an edifice or a building. I believe in church as a human being. Because even the bible points to that fact that it is your heart that God is interested in.

“Also, I read a page alleged to be from Thomas and one of the statements read, ‘Behold, if the people that lead you tell you the kingdom is in the sky, then the birds of the sky preceed you. If they tell you the kingdom is in the waters, then the fishes preceed you.

“Rather, the kingdom is both inside of you and outside of you. If you know yourselves, you will become known and you would realise that you are the sons of the living Father. But if you would not know yourself, you will dwell in poverty and the poverty would be you’,” he expressed.

Vector added, “So, if the kingdom is in the church, then the alter is more important that you. The kingdom is a conglomerate of believers. But it is rooted in the individualism of your saving. So, you are saved individually by connecting to God.”

The rapper, however, noted that he isn’t against those who attend churches or dominations in Christendom.
