Re: I hate church!!
Why the belief that one must attend only one assembly and be a faithful supporting member of that one assembly? There are probably 30 churches within 50 miles of me . Why couldn't I attend all of these on a rotation without being chastised??

Who said you did? It's not the building. Did you see the verses I posted? None of them mentioned a building in the sense of you using the word.

Church is not a building. It's a gathering. An assembly

Why would someone who hates church do that?

Who said anything about church buildings? What does that have to do with you hating church?

You are misunderstanding my point! I do not know how to explain myself so you will get it.

You're point was "I hate church". Or was it "I hate my church and I want to visit others"?

People frequently confuse a building with the church. I think what you're tired of is the building based romanist religious system which is presented as the church. I don't blame ya, I got tired of it too.

Then what difference does it make if you go to a different church if you hate what all church services have become?

OR

Are you just saying "I hate what MY church services have become"?
