Then you don't know what the Church is.

Tells you something about them doesn't it. They have left their first love.
But that's just it! Church is not equal to God! Church isn't the only way to be in God's presence. You can worship and hear the word in ways other than church!

That frustrates me to no end! Makes me wonder what in the world you people were do if you were dropped in a place with no church. Could your relationship with God survive?

I do know what THE church is, which is a heck of a lot different than what our society calls "church". But why do I even both, I forget that you know everything, and everyone who disagrees with you is evil, vile and wicked in their heart.

Forsake not the assembling.

For the record, I don't forsake. Which, by the way, means give up completely. Secondly, there are many more ways to "assemble" than the modern church service.

OUR society is the kingdom of God, not some earthly society and what the kingdom of God knows as the Church is all that matters.

Why you insist on your treasonous rebellion against the kingdom of God by forsaking the assembling with other believers (see Hebrews 10:24-25), I don't know.

I have NEVER said that any PERSON HERE is "evil, vile and wicked in their heart." I've definitely said that what some people here have said is. You are, as is so typical of you, exaggerating things.

Excuses, excuses you hear them everyday, the devil will supply them if form church you stay away.


Anyone who doesn't have a desire to be in church as much as possibly has a serious spiritually problem.

You cannot be in God's presence without being in the Church.
