Lmao . Funny enough religious people started modern science . The greatest inventions , discoveries , tech were all made by religious people while atheist leaders were busy slaughtering people in the past 100 years .

Atheism is evil . Atheism is wicked . Atheism is dangerous . End atheism now

God stated clearly in his word that a christian must not forsake the assembly of the brethren. How can you be walking in disobedience to God and make heaven?

Can a man use car without engine. Even though mere going to church doesn't save but you can never claim to be a Christian without going to church h. The Bible says don't neglect the fellowship of brethren as the manners of some are. Don't let Satan deceive you

Heb 10:25. --- Do NOT forget the assembly of the saints.

Can a footballer become a good footballer without going to the pitch?

There re some knowledge you wont come about on your own without going to church.

There re some hidden treasures that can only be revealed in the Church

There re some blessings you can only get in the Church because the instruction to the angels sometimes is Take this to the church so so and give brother so n so. If you refused to show up in Church that day, well... God will have mercy.

Finally my brother, dont be deceived by the devil n get discouraged about all you see n read about churches nowadays.

Look for a bible believing church n learn sir.

Thanks

Such christians don't exist...i mean with those attributes you mentioned because, heb 10:25 says, do not forsake the assembling of the brethen...when you forsake or forsook the assembling of the brethren which is the church, you have sinned already, and you knw the implications of sin.

My dear, that scripture you quoted doesn't sound like a law of which when contravene would be called sin. If the "do not" in the scripture is d problem.. Then see this "do not b unequally yoked with unbelievers". But Paul was. How? You might ask.

" I became all things to ALL men" who said that ?


I know you are going to say "yoked" means something different.

Look, I don't wanna act righteous but I try to lead the good life. I fear God and believe in his son. I believe also in the resurrection of Jesus. I am what you may call a Christian. I have not even had sex ( that's how much I fear God, I think it's spiritual).. The problem (by your logic) with me is "I forsake the gathering of the brethren". I have only been in church 3 times this year..


Are you saying God would send me to hell because I did not go a building where there are other xtians?

OP, our relationship and closeness to GOD is not measured by attendance.
Though some things r necessary bt they r nt important, others are important, but they r nt necessary.
If u know what is right, then do it.

baba chill oo... A Bible believing christian will never decide not to attend any church service but the fact that he doesn't attend doesn't make him a sinner.

Heb10:24-25
24  And let us consider one another to provoke unto love and to good works:

 25  Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching.

You'd notice that it's basically so that believers would encourage themselves.. Just as iron sharpens iron...There are times when u feel down and going to church helps uplift your spirit.
Stop quoting scriptures out of context pls!!

when Jesus Christ was crucified, the bible said two other men were crucified with him. both were not Christians and never attended church but one made it to heaven to fest with Jesus Christ.

To appropriately answer this question, we need to understand that the "church" and the "church building" are not exactly the same. The real church is our bodies, the dwelling place of the Holy Spirit. (1 Cor. 6:19). When Jesus chose Peter as the foundation of his Church (Matt. 16:18,19), Christ wasn't talking about the church building (how could a house be built upon Peter? ).
Do you also remember what Jesus himself told the Samaritan woman in John 4:20 - 24? Note the woman's statement in Vs 20. She was referring to the "Church building" in Jerusalem. But Jesus told her that true worship is neither on the mountain (a church place) nor in Jerusalem (the Church building) but in spirit and in truth (the Church). We need to go beyond worshipping in the church building to worshipping in the church for that is the key to making heaven for those who believe. He who has an ear, let him hear.
Over and out.
Peace.

if you don't go to church means you won't pay your tithes and give offerings. You not giving tithe and offerings means funds meant for the pastor have been diverted somewhere else. This means you haven't fulfilled your financial obligations to the church and God. Which finally means you are destined for hell! angry

Depends on what caused you not to make time for church. Were you evangelizing?, were you sleeping?......answer and you will have answered your question.

Strawman:


Oga church is not the only "assembling of the brethren". If you're able to assemble with people in your household, with colleagues in your school, in fact now we have social networks sef; a group of Christians on Facebook/WhatsApp etc is a social assembly. When you watch preaching on TV, you are also part of their assembly. If people had these methods in the days of Jesus, they would've utilised them.



So when you give birth the pastor on Tv'll be the one to name ur child on the naming ceremony or perhaps you'll be the pastor on that day?

you miss church and you automatically becomes a candidate for hell yet church goers lie, cheat and partake in other religious vices and yet they will make heaven? From your judgment that means no one can make heaven...

Hi, I hope this will be helpful...

Say to the Israelites, ‘You must observe my Sabbaths. This will be a sign between me and you for the generations to come, so you may know that I am the Lord, who makes you holy. Exodus 31:13

If you keep your feet from breaking the Sabbath
    and from doing as you please on my holy day,
if you call the Sabbath a delight
    and the Lord’s holy day honorable,
and if you honor it by not going your own way
    and not doing as you please or speaking idle words,
14 then you will find your joy in the Lord,
    and I will cause you to ride in triumph on the heights of the land
    and to feast on the inheritance of your father Jacob.”
For the mouth of the LORD has spoken. Isaiah 58:13-14

God bless you for this.

Have u experienced the peace and joy that comes with being in the presence of God? I don't think anyone who has an Intimacy with God will stay back from church. Am speaking out of experience the inner peace I feel in church especially during worship sessions and b4 the word is inexplicable,I won't trade it for anything in the world.
