Relationship with God is a personal thing. Going to church doesn't make you a true Christian aand not going doesn't make you a heathen. I stopped going to church for a while cause of the hypocrisy that is seen in churches today. Politics upandan, workers gossiping and backstabbing each other and later coming to come and be singing praises in front if the congregation with the same mouth. I don't know how to hide my feelings so I chose to stop going, better to worship my God in the privacy of my home and know that my mind is clean and I'm in the spirit than to go to the gathering of the church members of this days.. No offense to any1 1 Like |

Well, by my own understanding, you can't be a Christian and not go to church because faith comes by hearing and hearing the Word of God. One of the places you could here the Word is in the church and it's the best way to receive faith too just as the scriptures puts it, we two or more are gathered in my name, his presence exist there. Also, apostle Paul encourages us not to forsake the congregation of the brethens. Breathe s are spiritual brothers and sisters or family so to speak who are in one accord, have one believe, one faith and The great apostle understands that in that oneness, anything can't happen. God's will is to worship in spirit and in truth and believe He is and a rewarded of those that diligently seek him. So, if you are a Christian, then you believe in Jesus and the message he brought. If you believe in Jesus, the you believe in Him the Father and Creator of all things. When you believe this, at some point, you just have to fellowship with others because Christianity cannot be practiced alone. It's a nature and the nature of Christ. Jesus was always at the temple and synagogues and always in the congregation of people. So you can't be a Christian and not go to church, it's different from how frequently you go to church but you will go to church at so many points. For thanksgiving, to share testimonies and stir up others faith, for even your own faith to be strengthened, for fellowship and sharing of the Word in the bible and so forth. So tell you sister, if she isn't going to church and she says she is a Christian, it's not a healthy Christian live and thus her Christianity can be questioned at any time in life. She needs to find a bible believing church to be part of Gods family in practice and not theory. |

Salvation is not in church it's in Gods word so wherever you may find yourself on a Sunday take up his word and worship and you have performed your duty to God. Some people stop going to church because of the hypocrisy sometimes displayed in the same church 1 Like |

hopefulLandlord: There may be many denominations as you have listed but there is only one God. People can choose to believe Him different ways but what is more important and common to all is that they must walk according to His will and purpose. So no matter how the bible is being interpreted but one thing is common in all christians, It's the faith. It's our Christian creed, believing in the Father, believing in Jesus, first of the begotten of the Father, who was conceived by the Holy Spirit and through Virgin Mary was born, who lived, crucified and died on the cross and on third day, he rose again and ascended into heaven and sitting on the right hand of God. Believe in the Holy Spirit, the body of Christ and the gathering of saints and eternal life. Also is so many things thing binds us than what differentiates us. The Christian live is a beautiful life and am blessed to be a christian |

Go to church for what? To go and show off the new shoes and clothes or the new car or brag in form of testimony on how you got a more lucrative job or new contract? Church is no longer what it used to be. I can communicate better with my God from the comfort of my home with nobody telling me the prayer points to pray for since I alone knows where's etching me the most. But that's just me. |

SmartMugu: Matthew 4:23 And Jesus went about all Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing all manner of sickness and all manner of disease among the people. Luke 2:46 And it came to pass, that after three days they found him in the temple, sitting in the midst of the doctors, both hearing them, and asking them questions. |
