A Nigerian man recently criticized a church. They were using a Point of Sale (POS) machine. This machine was collecting offerings during their service.
A video of this practice gained wide attention. It quickly trended across various social media platforms.
Modernizing Donations: Churches Employ POS Systems
The trending video shows a church attendant. She assisted an elderly woman. The woman used a POS device for her offering.
The woman received a receipt. Then the attendant left.
Public Opinion Divided on Digital Church Offerings
Online users voiced diverse opinions. Many condemned the perceived commercialization of religious institutions. They suggest churches now operate as businesses.
One user, @nightprogram_, stated:
Church is a business. True worship resides within the heart.
@Da__preye commented:
Jesus must be weary of some churches.
Conversely, @kenny_pablo defended the practice. They argued:
I believe payment of tithe is biblical irrespective of how it was collected. People no longer carry cash these days. They easily use POS, even at parties. You don’t have to attend the church if you’re not cool with it. No be by force!
@dele003 also stated:
This has been happening for a long time. Nobody forced them to make contributions to the church.
