chiefconerstone:

I appreciate your thoughts . All true believers should be delibrate in choosing where they fellowship. We are delibrate and choosy about school and hospital we go to but not about the congregation we fellowship with. If you find a true congregation, you wouldn't miss fellowship for once. It is true that several individuals can stay alone and be on fire but been in the church fellowship is a greater level of fire. God blesses such meeting with something greater.
Makes real sense.

Where your treasure lies, is where your heart will be. For it is written. Hmmm.
Finding the " true congregation " is another thing, but like we've been told, the Holy Ghost will lead us to where we need to be at and teach us all things, continually.

Different people go to church for three primary reasons-make money, have social interactions that could lead to viable and long-lasting relationships, and relieve the fear of known and mental incapacity.

Catching up at home and reflecting on the past week with the anticipation of making the new week better will be a better way of spending your free time.

The book of psalms says they go from strength to strength everyone of them that appear in Zion(the church). Iron sharpen iron...fellowship with one another is divine...

Yes sir. Something is really wrong sir. You have broken the commandment of God that say, we should not forsake the assembly of the brethren.

The Scripture commands us not to forsake the gathering of other Christians. So,that ,in part,answers your question. Now,in Paul's days,they were meeting in people's houses. See Colossians 4:15. The people ,the body of Christ is the church,not necessarily the structure.
Also,you need to take into consideration the Sabbath,which has now become The LORD'S DAY because of the resurrection of Christ.If you are a Christian,you must strive to keep that day holy.And,being aloof affords you the temptations of not keeping it holy.
Billions of people today in the world have moved away from the moralities of the Christianity towards the blandishments of CHURCHIANITY- a new religion. The church had now become a routine and circular exercise for many.Here,they disobey God and His Word willfully with the pseudo ammunition of self-will.

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.

Bro you're not in the group chat alone. Especially to those of us in the diaspora where church isn't a do or die like it is in Nigeria. You hardly see or not at all over here. But then again going to church isn't a criteria to meeting ur creator on ur judgement day cuz most of this front seat members wey carry church for head are even more occultic than u can ever emphasize. To me my own church is just to do what's right and help those I can help when in need then pray on my own and try to be upright. There was no part of Bible that said only those who go to church will make heaven you will be surprised the people you thought were the church pillar won't make heaven. Nigeria has all the churches on this earth yet no progress envy is the order of the day charms and juju is the next option when ur neighbors see you changed a new shirt (tueh).

"Forget not the gathering of your brethren", this is true, but it's leading many Astray.

It says forget not your Brethren, not Clubs. Common churches of today are like religious clubs.

If you don't fear God, and want to please him by all means, you will never get out of the church trap. Because the honour and opinions of men will be more important to you than God's.

FIRST, Jesus said "Follow Me", NOT "find a church" (except you're blessed to find a local church led a Christlike leader around you, not any of the common denominations).

If anyone wants eternal life, Jesus said, "keep My commandments", and to be perfect, surrender everything for His sake.

First, we're to seek Jesus, Not Great men or pastors.

May Jesus bless you.

For this man with his prestigious position in the first century to have knelt down before Jesus shows he believes in Jesus so when Jesus said "come be my follower" after instructing him to sell everything he had surely Jesus meant this man must join a group (those following Jesus everywhere he goes)

Remember Peter said:

“Look! We have left all things and followed you; what, then, will there be for us?” Matthew 19:27

Please who are those "WE" if they're not a GROUP?




Jumping from place to place.

Come be my follower is different from my followers grin grin grin

Please who are those "WE" if they're not a GROUP?

Good Peter was asking a question on behalf of the others. What is/are the name of the others or as you want us to believe name of the GROUP he was asking questions on behalf?

Your not alone in this my dear.

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.

It is a demonic delusion to claim that you believe in God so much BUT you don't like to go to church.
You actually are disobedient to the Bible, if you don't attend the gathering of God's people regularly.
How do you reconcile your position with this verse in Psalms, "I was glad when they said to me let us go to the house of the Lord."
Also, how do you latch your attitude to church going to the apostolic counsel and command that says "Do not neglect the gathering together of God's people as the habit of some."?
You had better don't call yourself what God does not call you in the Bible.
According to the Bible, failing to attend Christian worship makes you a disobedient believer.
In fact, that verse of Psalms that says a true believer is glad whenever they hear it is time for church.
So, according to the Bible, you're neither a true Christian or an obedient one.
Repent before you realize that God won't welcome you into the His Heavenly Gathering of the saints when you die because you snubbed it when alive on earth.
Shalom.

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

Lol... it's funny here seriously. Even my own parents think that I am being possessed hence I hate going to church. Myself alone know that nothing is wrong with me. So much for me here seriously.

You can't be a true Christian and dislike going to church.
If at all you are a Christian, then you are a disobedient one. And Heaven is NOT sure at all for disobedient people.

I don't attend church, I really want to,
But I don't have the zeal to attend Church anymore,
They have turned Christianity into a Charade
Even at my workplace,they see me as queer
But when there is an argument pertaining to the Bible and gospel of Christ,I break it down for them, even the most religious church goers amongst them are confused about how someone who doesn't attend church is enlightened...



As a Christian, the Bible has everything you need to succeed
People don't just read, especially Africans
One of the reasons most people are converting to other religions is because churches have abandoned the gospel of Jesus Christ and focused on earthly delights and riches

Satan too can break down the Scripture but he is still a rebellious and disobedient angel that will end in the Lake of Fire.
You can't understand the Bible and snub church.
The truth is that you're NOT truly born again.
It is a God-given desire for all His truly born again children to crave fellowship with each other: "I was glad when they said let us go to the house of God."
Many of you just display your ignorance of God's word, while trying to make yourself look like you understand the Bible.
If you continue to abstain from church, you may as well forget going to heaven because you are a disobedient believer.
Repent and obey the Bible: "Do not neglect the meeting together of the saints as the habit of some is.." Hebrews 12 : 25.

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!

Hmmmm...this your analogy sha.

Haven't you heard of truants with stellar performances while some very 'serious' students struggle to even get the passmarks. Maybe you should illustrate your point using the examples of Judas Iscariot (a disciple) and the man on the left side of the cross (a thief).

Blessings and love!

May LOVE lead and guide us all, Amen.

144,000 humans turned spirit according to your beliefs go to that heaven you say is not meant for mankind.

Longest time Lady Vanessa well to me, there is nothing practically wrong in it as long as you keep a tidy soul with your neighbors and God by reading your Bible daily......a time is coming that many will not near church buildings to fellowship but will do so in the Spirit

The thread na interesting thread.

When school pupils, students e.t.c are on the assembly ground for their morning assembly or afternoon assembly routine,

Do people see such gatherings in the same category as that of those performed in religious buildings e.t.c

He is disobedient and unrepentant because he didn't go to a religious building to discuss bible, pray or sing with people that are fellow Christians like him something he does in more ways other than that.
