I have always wondered (and this is from a serious place, and not my usual bashing gene)

Why do you need ot go to church to worship your god?

Being serious. If god is everywhere, why do you need to attend church?

The muslims make a prayer 5 times a day and they will stop in the street, put their musallah down and pray by the road side.

I would like an answer that doesnt have pages of scripture quoted, if no one minds.
Thanks

"Jesus, therefore, when he saw her weeping and the Jews that came with her weeping, groaned in the spirit and became troubled; and he said: “Where have you laid him?” They said to him: “Lord, come and see.” Jesus gave way to tears." (John 11:33)
"Over these things I am weeping as a woman. My eye, my eye is running down with waters. For a comforter has become far away from me, someone to refresh my soul." (Lamentations 1:16)
"And when he got nearby, he viewed the city and wept over it" (Luk 19:41)

Christians are encouraged to gather with other believers, but you don't need to attend church to worship God. I haven't walked into a church in many years. I haven't been to church once, since I was saved.

Any place of worship is a business unless it is fully sponsored by a government .

Crying is good! It releases emotions that were building up inside you perhaps.

It is a good thing to do.

I cry in a church also when I went, but not because of the songs, it just seems so damn depressing for me.

go to a black church and you will have fun. I have done that in LA once! Now that is fun. You dance, scream and hollar.

I felt like I was at a football game or something.

Don't mind me sunnymcleod. I am non religious spiritual and just give you the opinion if you have to cry then cry. Nothing wrong with that.

Funches,

I choose to not go to church because of extenuating factors. I don't believe I know better than God. The point I was making is that Christian doesn't have to go to church, don't read anything else into it.

yeah, but I hate when people bash Christianity. yet it is a great crime for us to do the same. I don't like that double standard.


It's wrong to bash an other's religion, regardless of what they believe. It's just good manners. The fact that you don't do that shows that you were raised right, have good character or a combination of the two.
very good point.

I agree with you spider, just thought this column needed some light thought...Then someone gets snotty.
Like I said, don't mind him. You can't change people like that.


No, you can't change some people. Anyways, thanks for sharing.

I'm excited that the season finale for Dr Who is going to be on BBC America over the next two weeks. I will probably cry when the season is over. sad


Please continue to cry : it shows your strength and wisdom . Anyone who cries at words of imagination needs a psychiatrist right now .

well it's a lot ot read into it because the question arise if christians are not encourage to go to church then where do they get their interpetation from the very mis-interpeted bible .. from other believers that also mis-interpet it like themselves

even in this forum you can see that some believers will encourage each other when it clear that sometimes they are wrong

Funches,

You need to read the posts you are replying to.

Look at the post you made above...I have bolded one part of the text.

Here is what you originally responded to...

It's in the Bible, Christians are encouraged to gather with other believers. I choose not to, because my life is too complicated right now. There is no conspiracy. It's the fact that I screwed up my life and I need to get it straight. Nothing more to it. Like I said, don't read more into it than what I wrote. I think if you carefully read what you are replying to, it would save us all a bit of trouble.

to gather with others that are mis-informed and then spread that mis-information is called gossip not the gospel ..

Assembying together is scriptural. Those who don't disobey what the word of God is saying.

Could you quote a scripture that commands Christians to go to church?

Spider....there is no commandment to attend church.
Some shut in's for instance, can't attend church, due to health reasons.
Thank God for christian tv for them, or christian radio.

But even though the bible does not command church attendance, the bible still says to forsake not the assembly of beleivers......mainly because it is for the christian's benefit, to attend church regularly( the the assembly together with other believers).:heart:
