Why do u eat food?
Re: Why Do You Go To Church? by slymm(f): 8:52pm On Jun 08, 2013
We eat food to stay alive, do you go to church to stay alive? I am really interested in knowing this, as I understand there is a difference between being religious and being spiritual. Some people go to church every sunday religiously because it is what they grew up doing, they have no idea why they are going to the church, but they are just used to it.

Apparently it is difficult for you to state an opinion and give reasons for the said opinion. We are not kids, statements like you already know the answer and you know it makes no sense.

God's presence is in church. Church is great for meeting others for encouragement in our heavenly race.
Re: Why Do You Go To Church? by kay29000(m): 3:52pm On Jun 09, 2013
@Slymm, that's a pretty good question. I am a very spiritual person, but not religious, and I understand where you are coming from. Most people go to church as part of a routine on Sundays, and then they go back to doing all the normal things they do on the rest of the 6 days of the week.

Would love to have someone like you as a friend.

To say thank you to I AM THAT I AM. To worship God and to ask HIM to forgive my wrong in ACT and OMMISSION and to plead on behalf of my offender that HE should hv mercy on them.

jacobscros: God's presence is in church. Church is great for meeting others for encouragement in our heavenly race.
this is just the height!

God's presence is in the church? Are you for real? So it's demons that are in your home?

Even the Bible says that wherever two or more are gathered in His NAME, God is there...what balderdash is your pastor feeding you abeg?

@topic" I really do not see the purpose of churching every Sunday....some days, you can stay at home and worship your God in the silence of your heart.....

Then again, people must show off their new attires

1.It makes sense in this environment to go to church rather than mosque or synagogue.
2.Your presence in church is a valued contribution to an important social support system we have. You never know when you are going to die or lose a loved one.
3.If you are lucky to have a good pastor, you may find his preaching helpful in trying situations whether in business or family.
4.Good and lasting friendships and business contacts have been known to originate in the church.
5.Some people are never comfortable until they voice their problems to a listening ear. In a world where you are never really sure who your true friends are, it makes sense to trust the clergy.

the word of God says 'do not forget the gathering of the brethren'

slymm: Is God not in your house?
God said we shouldn't forsake the gathering of the brethren. Asides the fact that we've been commanded to, it builds our hope and faith in God. There are things one wouldn't be able to go through if they were all by themselves at home. But being in the midst of like-minded people makes it easier for for us to keep holding unto a God we can't see. There are many times I'd not feel like going to church and would come up with all kinds of excuses not to go. But somehow, if I overcome all those excuses and make it to church, I almost always return home refreshed and a better person.

True, but a sincerely spiritual Christian would know that it is necessary to go to church. We need other Christians around us you know.

God's presence is inside of you if you're a Christian.

OP, are you a christian? Because if you are not, this thread is not useful cos you wont see the wisdom in the answers people would give you, especially true christians.

The bible says we shouldnt forsake the gathering of the brethren. If you are not convinced, ask the pope. cool

You can thank God everywhere and you can seek forgiveness wherever you are.

Go on, show your skills, religious or spiritual. Must you have a logical reason for anything? Why then are you alive?
