Is It A Sin Not To Attend Sunday Service? by onoerime: 8:37am On Feb 24, 2013
Dear nairaland, i am often confused about sunday worship.i heard some people saying sunday is the new sabbath day for christians, others says not attending sunday worship is a sin. Although i attend weekly services and the kind of work i do demands sunday work. The question is "is it a sin not to attend sunday worship?" if u have bible backup for this, you are welcome...

This question is for pagans and atheists to debate.

Certainly not for a bible believing Christian. If you are a Christian and you are asking this question, please revisit and review your salvation!

I appeal to all bible believing Christians on NL to abstain from getting involved in discussions that seek to mock the Christian faith . Find something better to do with your time. Anyone who needs advice about their faith should be directed to the nearest bible believing church. [/size]

As His (Jesus) custom was, we went into the synagogue (church) on the sabbath day (saturday) to reason (worship).
Does it make any sense?

@ Op
Listen to ur conscience and follow heart. If ur job doesn't give u time its a different thing. But its dat u dnt see reason u must be in church den u need to renew ur relationship with God. because David said I ws glad wen they say let's go to d presence of God. So it shud b somthing u r eager to do. U shud find pleasure in being in d presence of God. Now som will say is His presence in d church alone? Nop, infact as children of God we carry His presence anytime. Moreova we r d church. But d difference in my opinion is d gathering and d Word that is opened to us tru His Servants. Which in turn renew our faith. For as often as we go close to Him we learn more of Him and we yawn more to be like Him.
Now I'm nt a religious fanatic b4 som people attack me now.

Joagbaje:

Fellowship is anywhere at any time and not restricted to a specific location or day , this is just the tradition of MAN.

Christians should meet daily in 2s and 3s or more if possible or necessary at homes, coffee bars , anywhere really.

Jesus said where 2 or are 3 gathered together he will be there, it does not have to be where thousands or hundreds are gathered.

"Every day they continued to meet together[/b] in the temple courts. They broke bread in their homes and ate together with glad and sincere hearts"- Acts 2:46


If we look at the pattern of the early church, they met daily not specifically on Sunday and it was mostly in homes and the temple courts. There is no more temple which has since been destroyed, we are now the temple of GOD if we have his Spirit.

Honestly, its getting boring.

Every Christian post is hijacked by all those who are keen to poke holes in the Christian faith. Its not as if this forum is a Christian forum so i don't understand why people (i.e genuine CHRISTIANS) cannot ask for advice from other brethen in their own Church and you feel you need to come on to NL a forum for all kinds of human beings (SOME WHO KNOW NOTHING ABOUT GOD BUT CALL THEMSELVES CHRISTIANS).

WHAT KIND OF ADVICE do you expect to get? All you will get is more confusion to add to your confusion.

Going to church on a sunday is one of the ways of keeping the day holy which is the sabbath day for christians. Not being able to go to church on a genuine reason can not be regarded as a sin. You may have missed the sunday service because you had to do something which was also to the glorification of God. But when you miss sunday service for no reason i think that is very unacceptable.
I know God is not just in the church alone but as a christian you should follow the tradition of worshipping together with your fellow christians on sundays. Even if you can't participate in the other activities of the church at least try to keep a date with the Lord every sunday.

Col 2:16 Therefore let no one judge you in food or in drink, or regarding a festival or a new moon or sabbaths,
Col 2:17 which are a shadow of things to come, but the substance is of Christ.

The key is Christ
As long as you make out time to worship with others and not necessarily on a Sunday,I believe you are covered.

Also read Romans14 which though is addressed to eating or not eating certain regarding the law,it can apply to your question especually the below posted
Rom 14:5 One person esteems one day above another; another esteems every day alike. Let each be fully convinced in his own mind
Rom 14:6 He who observes the day, observes it to the Lord; and he who does not observe the day, to the Lord he does not observe it. He who eats, eats to the Lord, for he gives God thanks; and he who does not eat, to the Lord he does not eat, and gives God thanks.


Too mamy Christians today are ONLY holy on Sundays,their church conventions&vigils/nights out
Yet in the old testament,Israel appeared before God thrice a year

Sunday is not Sabbath day.
Infact, most Christian have already abused the sabbath day
However, God is so gracious to this generation
As long as you keep the weightier part of the command - LOVE.
That is the most important.

First of all if you want to keep the sabbath , then it is Saturday not Sunday, go ask the Jews , they still keep the Sabbath in the orthodox section of Israel.

We should and must respect anyone and everyone who decides to consider Sunday as a holy day for he does it unto GOD , but we have no right to condemn those who do not consider Sunday as a holy day.

"One man considers one day more sacred than another; another man considers every day alike. Each one should be fully convinced in his own mind." - Romans 14:5

I know God is not just in the church alone but as a christian you should follow the tradition of worshipping together with your fellow christians on sundays.

And there you go , it is a tradition of MAN , this Sunday thing , started by the catholic church, it has no bearing on believers who have been set free from the traditions of MEN.
