Faith cometh from hearing...........
Romans 10:17

Hearing what?

KNOWMORE56:
Well. The way I have always understood this matter is:
The church services or church attendance is like a school attendance.....

I mean, in religion it's called church. In accedemy it's called school....

Now, if you should use the same question for your accedemy, what will be your answer...

What I'm saying is if your child ask you
" Mummy, is there anything wrong if I don't attend classes in the school? I'm doing my studying in the house...

*. Hebrews 10:25 " KJV: 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."

*. Leviticus 8:4 " KJV:And Moses did as the Lord commanded him; and the assembly was gathered together unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation"

Our God commands that His children be gathered before Him from time to time!

Abeg to differ
Church is not school because even churches have theological schools
Church is meant to be a place where christians are gathered to feel the presence of God.
Even in abroad most schools are going online. So don't equate them
You don't get promoted or demoted in church and you don't pay church fees b4 you are allowed in

BeardedmeatR:
. Because you are holed up in an enclosure doing internet fraud

Oh okay see the church goers..
What did bible say about JUDGING?

Let he without a SIN be the first to cast stone.. u that not a fraudster. Any one without opportunities believe of him sef to be a saint!

BeardedmeatR:
You are correct. But if only the churches of nowadays were anything near the churches where that passage was first pronounced.

There's a supreme being called God. But religion as we see today is scam, all of them.

So what do we do

Do we forsake church because scammers are everywhere

Were we not warned that in last days false prophet shall arise and deceive many

Were we not told to test every spirit and know which is truly of God

The onus is on you to ask God for guidance to locate a bible believing church where the undiluted word of God is taught, and God seeing your heart and desire to serve Him will make that possible

Let's not allow the devil to deceive us or we will keep looking for flimsy excuses to justify our actions

Nothing wrong with it. This is how I live.

Since 8yrs know i never step my foot in church oh rather than last month when i went to chapel to pray 4 my partner self delivery

you we went to chapel to pray? Y not stay in your house and pray for her? Because it is serious and you need God at that moment...
Seriously if you need God no body's will tell you to go to church because you know Its an environment where God is present..
go to church and worship your God every Sunday

Kyase:

Romans 10:17

shush . Shush there..

Fraudsters will say faith comes by hearing and hearing the word of God..


They are the real fraudulent people who will use it to collect your money. Must i hear it in your church? Are you mad or something? To sand person dey hungry me.

Astoria:
Explain how the word "christ-like" translates to the fraudulent word "christianity". You can make your point (if any) without cross-referencing Ibos and IPOB. Ibos are not IPOB, IPOB are Ibos.

The error is mine

Acts 11:26, they were called "christians", not Christ-like

So yes christians is one who believe in Jesus and his teachings and His works, Christianity is the religion of it

Sazzy001:
Hahaha. It's just like believing/serving a diety without going to the shrine to pay regular homage. Trust me it will ask for the worshipper's head soonest..

The shrine of this deity under discussion is the body of yours

It's just like believing/serving a diety without going to the shrine to pay regular homage

Paul stated below in 1 Corinthians 6: 19-20Bible cited below will help you.....

19 Do you not know that your bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own; 20 you were bought at a price. Therefore honor God with your bodies.

The same Paul equally stated the below...


Acts 17: 24 The God who made the world and everything in it is the Lord of heaven and earth and does not live in temples built by human hands. 25 And he is not served by human hands, as if he needed anything. Rather, he himself gives everyone life and breath and everything else.

Goodmorning Christian brethrens and to all nairalanders.

In today's society, I noticed that people seem to see those that do not go to church regularly as not being serious with their heavenly race and salvation of soul and this makes it look like one salvation of soul is tied down to going to church regularly.

I am one of such person that do not like going to church at all, but I believe so much in God and I know I am not the only one in this. This problem is faced by so many people in the world.

So is there anything wrong in one not going to church regularly but believe in God within himself or herself and try his or her best in doing the things that pleases God.

I am in your shoes too

Going to Church is not just my thing.

I only go during Christmas, New Year and Easter celebration.

Sunday is not a sabbath day but first day of the week to start working, biblically Saturday is the sabbath day and the 7th day of the week which the Lord rested.

obonujoker:
No bto... God destroyed the ungodly living creatures on the earth. God wanted to cleanse the earth not destroy it then.... This was the flood that also killed the giants, dragons, Nephilim and other experimental creatures of the fallen angels, that's why we have legends like medussa, mermaids, centaurs etc (All demonic spirits hiding underworld, 2nd heavens, underwater etc, in spirit forms), all which will also be Destroyed at the last day.

Genesis 6:5 And God saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually.
6:6 And it repented the LORD that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him at his heart.

Genesis 6:11 The earth also was corrupt before God, and the earth was filled with violence.
6:12 And God looked upon the earth, and, behold, it was corrupt; for all flesh had corrupted his way upon the earth.
6:13 And God said unto Noah, The end of all flesh is come before me; for the earth is filled with violence through them; and, behold, I will destroy them with the earth.

Genesis 6:17 And, behold, I, even I, do bring a flood of waters upon the earth, to destroy all flesh, wherein is the breath of life, from under heaven; and every thing that is in the earth shall die.

So, God reason for the flood was to cleanse evil, not to destroy the heart, however at the last day, this earth will be destroyed by fervent heat.

That is the same destruction he was talking about.

Thanks.

The title "GOD" connotes "SUPREME BEING" so there's no way you can claim you believe (trust) in a supreme being without associating with your fellow believers (those with whom you all trust) in such a BEING.

It's like saying you trust a king but you're less concerned about how other subjects live in harmony with the rules of your King.

Moreover Jesus taught his followers to pray for their personal needs in private {Matthew 6:6} so our personal desires is our own business, but when it comes to SALVATION it's impossible for an isolated person to gain this that's why Jesus told us that we must come together before he can join us {Matthew 18:20} to do what? Lead us in the path of righteousness!

Do you mean that over there people are not obsessed about church as it's happening here?


I'm telling you the gospel truth.

You barely see signboard of churches in Germany.

Not as if there are no church here, but they are not so obsessed about it.

I went to one the very first week i arrived Europe, what I saw i was speechless.

People were smoking cigarettes in the church when the pastor was preaching .

Are you serious man

Our God commands that His children be gathered before Him from time to time!

If God had made such a command, it only ended in the old testament, because going to a tabernacle to worship God was an old covenant way of worship which is already outdated... "By calling this covenant “new,” he has made the first one obsolete; and what is obsolete and outdated will soon disappear.
Now the first covenant had regulations for worship and also an earthly sanctuary." (Hebrews 8:13 - 9:1).

As for Hebrews 10:25 that you quoted in your post, it wasn't a command from God. pls see the explanation in this thread...

WHY DID U WENT TO THE CHAPEL AND NT INSIDE UR HOUSE ?

Have noticed that those that go to church every day don't even believe God much they're doing eye service and are wicked than you that don't go to church but practice love more

maticar:
Hahahaha I like this analogy bro

It just can't work na, you need to go gathering of the group you claim to belong

Even Jesus himself was found in synagogue always doing teaching and brainstorming with the pharisees of his days, haba

It just can't work na, you need to go gathering of the group you claim to belong

It can work when the gathering we talked about is not the legalised, controlled and regimented gatherings used to measure spirituality and race for salvation.

As an illustration you will see people devoted to the gatherings of their religious denominations than the gatherings related to normal place of work or secular work.

When Paul said do not forsake the gatherings it is not a regimented or controlled that is based on religious gatherings alone. It equally include all other gathering many don't see as being a religious gatherings. The reason Paul said


Whatever you do [whatever your task may be], work from the soul [that is, put in your very best effort], as [something done] for the Lord and not for men

Keep on going to church one day your faith will be made strong

I myself can't remember when last i near church.

I live in Germany like this but to be honest with you, you hardly see people going to church on Sunday morning.

If not because of calendar, I barely knows what the day is here in Europe.

Is only in Africa people carry church matter for head.

Ironically, these western countries that are less religious are using Africa blue-black!!

No too reason am... nothing wrong...God is almighty, thoughts of man is foolishness in his sight.

The race for salvation na person dey help you run am it is a race you run personally?

Therefore, my dear friends, as you have always obeyed—not only in my presence, but now much more in my absence—continue to work out your salvation with fear and trembling.

You claim to BELIEVE SO MUCH in God buy you don't go to church. Now you believe in God as you said, but DO YOU BELIEVE IN JESUS?. Jesus says, " you believe in God, believe ALSO in Me", John 14:1. Many people believe in God but do not believe in Jesus. If you believe in God but not in Jesus Christ, you're not a child of God. And you are not saved.1John 2: 23. It is believing in Jesus Christ that makes you BORN AGAIN, that gives you salvation. For your information the Devil also believes in God, James 2:19; but does the Devil believe in Jesus Christ? The answer is NO. So, when you truly believe in Christ Jesus you are born again. This means that you become a part of the Body of Jesus Christ. Ephesians 5:30. All believers in Christ Jesus are members of His body. So, WHENEVER and WHEREVER the children of God gather, Jesus Christ is present. Now, can you be a member of the Body of Christ and say you do not like to be where other members of the body are gathered?
It's true that going to church alone without practising holiness does not save one, but no true believer in Christ can do without going to the house of God. For the Holy Ghost which dwells in us leads you TO church, not away from church.
