What is the quarrel you have with your God that has kept you from church.

Let know your beef.

Let me start my own. God has always been good to me deep from the very start to my university days and down to now. So i don't joke with my God.

But some of you here have serious matter, share them if you can.

God has been faithful and I don’t believe I have to go to a physical church to serve him. I can serve him in many ways😎

Going to church is not synonymous with having good relationship with God.

If you don't believe the Bible it's OK but the title GOD connotes SUPREME BEING there is no way anyone could claim he or she is worshiping God without standing with His worshipers to take your own position among them.
So if you don't assemble with others for worship whatever you are doing indoor is self worship meaning you are worshiping you own self!😟

Church to me is just a social circle to display wealth. No true worship in churches again. Gone are those days🤦‍♂️

That is because you don't know the true Christians and their mode of worship!

APOPTOSIS:
JEHOVAH'S WITNESS is operating at a different level.
They have been steadfast, resolute and committed.
I hold no grudge against them. They downplay commercialization of churches.
They entertain persecutions a lot, in fact more than several Christian bodies.
Seems in their church everyone is at same level irrespective of your degree, financial acquaintance and contacts.
And it seems they obey the Bible the most:
-They hardly disturb neighbors during prayers.
-They frown at intimidation and flamboyant lifestyles.
-They ensure financial gifts are covered and never displeased at whatever they recieve.
-Their members would make good politicians but they frown at politics
I respect them. I judge based on actions and not what I'm told.

😂 they don’t celebrate Christmas, Easter blah blah blah 😒 I know Jehovah witness. Wickedness still rules there, wickedness still rules🤦‍♂️

They live godly in the church and are exact opposite outside🤦‍♂️
It will be easier to see a lion with horns than a place where true worshipers are gathered in one spirit.
🚶‍♂️

Now you are talking out of point because the Bible God tells us what to look out for among His true worshipers and it's not perfection so calm down and learn!🙂

Okay enlighten me😎

God never expected perfection from imperfect humans that's the purpose of 1,000 years where Satan will be locked up {Revelations 20:2-5} that's the time God will give mankind to grow to perfection.
As for our own time God promised to help us identify the religion that's doing His will in the Bible book of Isaiah 2:2-4 and Micah 4:1-3

In those Bible verses God said in the last days (our time) individuals from different nations throughout the earth will come together and from one big and happy family of peace loving worshipers, they will no longer learn war no support fightings and killings in any form.

That is what Jesus taught his disciples in the first century {Matthew 5:43-48} and that is why you keep reading about Christians in the first century being attacked and killed but there is nowhere they fought back to retaliate rather they were running away from enemies of the faith because that's what Jesus commanded them. Matthew 10:23

So as the Prince who is coming to make Peace reign globally {Isaiah 9:6} Jesus have gathered millions of Jehovah's Witnesses worldwide and trained them to fulfill what that prophecy says that's why he promised that his disciples will be found in all the nations of the earth {Act 1:8} they will be IDENTIFIED by the love they have among themselves! John 13:34-35

You can have your own standard but you can never ever find any group to fit in to whatever you set because you are not God who created humans and knows how to make us cohabit peacefully! Isaiah 43:10

You need to know there's a clear distinction between your "relationship with God" and "relationship with God's people" Those are two very different things.

You also need to know that "church" doesn't mean a corporate organisation or institution or denomination. Church is simply a gathering. Where 2 or 3 are gathered in His name. That could be you and your immediate or extended family, neighbours, colleagues, friends, etc. So far you agree.
"Church" also doesn't mean your meetings must be every Sunday or 3 times weekly. You guys will agree on frequency, and with new members you revise your agreements to meet everyone's needs.
But when a set of people set up rules for you as a standard for you to worship YOUR GOD, from the same bible you read - that is control (religion) not spirituality.

The issue with Christians of this day is they confuse divine laws and ways to church doctrines. Jesus never made it mandatory to visit the synagogue. Sometimes he taught outside the synagogue. Going to church is good but don’t idolize the teaching that’s till you get to a building before you worship God. That was why God talked about gods of goat eating sacrifice and had to bring Jesus to the scene due to misconceptions by the Jews.

All God wants is your heart and not going to church and there are lots of instances Jesus preached that. He used the old widow to prove it isn’t by your services but by your heart.

Right from creation, God has always wanted the heart.
If you doubt, ask Cain and Abel😁

All this is just fallacy and marketing gimmicks. I’ve been to lots of churches even the ones you don’t know of and you see that love you all preach, we can find something slightly related to that at a smoking joint than in the church.

Sorry preacher but the church of today is filled with wickedness
