I love Christ. He is the center of my life but I’m SO introverted and anti-social 😢
I know how you feel
Me 2
Same
G-d is all of your life and in all of your life, whether you are alone or a social Bunny. It does not matter. G-d is here to save you, not change your personality and force you to become an extrovert. G-d loves you even as a anti-social person. If you dont like gathering with people, the Holy Spirit will sustain you. It is not a requirement and we are not under the law to do so. If you want to gather then fine and if you dont, then fine as well. Hebrews 10:24-25 has nothing to do with church attendance as we have it today. Two totally different systems from then and now. The gathering was more to encouraging one another to continue in the faith of Jesus Christ and not returning to Judaism and the Mosaic Law. They experience lots of social pressure to return to Judaism because Christianity was a small sect, considered a false religion. Remaining a Christian was no easy task, unlike today.
You are Jewish aren't you?😊@trevino37
It is getting harder to finder a church that actually follows scripture, false doctrine is everywhere. People say just overlook it, I say... if it isn't Biblical, it's just a social gathering.
exactly...it is a social gathering...from the time you first see the coffee and cookies in the foyer to the chit chat of anything other than what Jesus is doing in our lives...i'd rather be a part of a gathering that really does church like they did in Acts 2. A one hour service once a week that has a set agenda...doesn't cut it
Look up the church of Christ they use the Bible as their only guide.
I agree. Do you believe christians sin after being born again?
@@MarcusKotyk I do, but there is a difference in doing your best to follow Christ and living in sin. Mathew 13 "The four soils" tells us what it means to live in sin and be unfruitful. Only the fourth soil produced good fruit any multiplied it for the kingdom. The other 3 soils did not produce a crop and because the love of the world were more important.
Assembly of the saints, not non saints or unrepentant sinners, was not so much in a church building but homes or gatherings of close friends and family that are saints. Any one living in willful sin was not allowed but removed. Scripture, not personal opinions, not false doctrine of man's traditional beliefs, was only allowed. This is why finding a legit church service is near, if not impossible in today's world. And so the question would be more," Is it a sin to attend church?"
No its not a sin. We ARE the church. Going TO church is a tradition of men. I meet with like believers constantly. I dont need to go to a harlot church to congregate with brkievers.
God is everywhere not only in churches, if you are a believer and pray to God you don’t need to go to church for God to listen to you. There are many ppl going to church and still sin, curse, have spiteful thoughts, how does that make them believers, just by going to church?I don’t think so
You are the church because you have the word of God and gave your life to God church ⛪ is not the build but the one who has the word and life God
@@VekaparuraHarakuta That is a lie you have been told....our salvation is on our faith and belief in Christ, not church attendance. Go repent
@@VekaparuraHarakuta Church original meaning in the times of Jesus Christ was "Community" ... So Jesus wanted us to go out and build his community "His Body"...Nothing was spoken of literally going to a building we call church. Sorry to spoil it for you. But Christ is everywhere and in everything , if you believe and spread his word to bring more people into the community of Jesus Christ then you are doing what Jesus spoke of. The CHURCH as we know it is a building that we go to to worship. However Jesus even spoke about this in his time. When he spoke of people going to synagogues and praying just for the sake of being seen praying and being perceived as Holy. He spoke against this. SO not sure were all these "Believers claim you Have to go to Church " ,,, It is just not true. You have to have God and Jesus in your heart first and foremost
Exactly
Going to church doesn't save nobody. The church is believers not a building. Acts 7:48. It is important to learn the word of God and more about Christ. This is the reason the Bible was created because it has all the information of God, doctrines, Jesus, Salvation, and instructions. Church can't teach you all things about God, even the "Bible believing Churches". It is important to be by like minded believers, this is why we should be the church and not go to church.
It's important to congregate which is why I attend meetings once a month, but that's it.
@@eve3363" congregating" will not save anyone.
Do you obey Matthew 25:35-40?
I thought not.
Jesus could say "depart from Me..."
@@endtimesareuponus8930 So now you are going to assume that I don't help others in need? What's wrong with you?
@@eve3363 there's alot wrong with You cause you aren't obeying but attacking.
Jesus is still hungry around the world and you have more than you need. So you are neglecting Him.
@@eve3363 maybe one day you'll go hungry and the other person will say -- I helped you a little out of my abundance some time ago but now I'll just let you starve.
I don't go. I dont trust the pastors to teach the bible . I stay home and read my bible and have never had so much peace
Once my eyes was opened to all the pagan traditions the churches follow, I did what revelation told me to do, I came out. I've learned more in the past few years reading my Bible daily, than I learned going to church my whole life.
Me too 🥰
Like what?? What are some of these pagan traditions? Where did you get this information?
@@jmorra Christmas and Easter are 2 that come to mind
Thanks for being obedient and coming out of the whore of Babylon.
@@jmorra it’s in the Bible if you would read it.
Church is not a building... The church are the worldwide Christian believers who express community in different ways.
"Church" (with a capital "c") is the worldwide body of Christians. "church" (with a lower case "c") is a building where Christians worship.
Nice try but that's not a scriptural concept. The church can meet in any building. They can meet in a home, coffee shop, restaurant. The church building as we know it today is an invention of Constantine.
@@susanthroop7041 :( I can't believe RE lied to me
@@susanthroop7041 I’m in a situation I can’t for medical reasons but it’s hard no friends and alone a lot.
The Church is Jesus Christ within our hearts, His word producing those fruits that lead to everylasting life, in the absence of which our bodies are naturally producing those fruits that lead to death.
I feel rejected by the church community so I haven’t been going for a while. It helps my anxiety. I had too many eyes on me judging me and I feel more at peace now. There are a lot more services online now. I miss being in fellowship because of worship and praying together but I don’t want to face any more rejection
That is exactly how I feel. You can only take so much rejection.
I feel so sad, knowing that people whom you consideres holy at church are the worst bully.
@@artforest3208 Yes it is sad that people can be so judgemental and not show love. We need more people like David Servant who is loving, caring, shows the fruits of the Holy Spirit & lives it out in his life to others and also speaks the truth of the Bible.
@@leialee6820 at the end, God will judge them accordingly. We need to be still and brave to face everything with GOD. ❤
Stay away from these harlot houses. They are the synagogues of Satan. The scriptures are literally full of wisdom about this counterfeit bride called Christianity.
A building can't save you only the blood of Jesus.
I read the Bible every single day. But I do not attend church. I love having a personal relationship with God. I get his message directly through reading the Bible myself.
Yesterday I finished reading the entire bible for the 4th time since my rebirth March 2023. Up until then I hadn’t read a full book in my entire adult life (38). I really despised reading. Our God is so powerful man! We are so Blessed with his Grace!
AMEN ITS GOOD TO READ HIS WORD THROUGH THE HOLY SPIRIT AND PRAYER I HAVE DONE FAR BETTER NOT GOING TO A CHURCH BUILDING I DONT THINK I REMEMBER ANYONE OF THEM GIVING THE GOSPEL OUT TO PEOPLE
No where in the Bible does it say "Go to Church" these buildings are pagan temples and synagogues of Satan. Don't be deceived by them, come out from among them my people and be ye seperate saith the Lord. Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come. John 16:13
The church I attend now is more like a clique than a church. The only time someone new shows up is when a baby is born.
No discipleship whatsoever. I no longer wish to go to this building full of those who have no grasp of what it means to be a Christian.
Which church is that?
Many people are not obeying,people are not being rebuked for wrong living wolves in sheep's clothing target churches and they are not stopped.
I have fellowship on a Christian radio station, their in your home phone e-mail for prayer, good teaching, good witness to the world UCB 1 AND 2.
Preachers want people to come to their buildings called church and give them money to help run it but Bible says in Mark 16:15...And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature.
Stay AWAY from preachers !
The institutional church is so top down, political and unscriptural these days, I just can't go. I sit and watch and listen and could just cry - and actually have. Then someone thinks you aren't saved! No, I am saved and I am grieved!
They have their "program" not God's idea
I love my brothers from my church, but when I go there, I feel so alone..I feel like I don't exist. My pastor doesn't listen to me, no one does. I really can't seem to commit to going, it's stronger than me. Plus the sermon is 90% singing and 10% the word of God, I really don't understand it. Please pray for me!
Aymou, this is not right, because it's not about going to church because we are the church, the church is a place where we connect with others in a spiritual way where it keeps us away from the deceitful sin! Honestly, try talking with the pasture about this problem of him and others not listening to you and treating you transparent. If this honestly continues, you really have to consider changing to a different church! The church you're in just doesn't have that if this continues! Brother/sister, hope that you may be blessed by the Lord and the Holy spirit to be brimmed within you! Wish that you can find a church where you feel the healing from our Lord! God bless ye!
May God bless you
I know what you mean by the 90% singing and 10% scripture. If I wanted to go to a singing I'd go to a singing. I feel the same way. You should go to church to hear the word of God and to worship. If you repent for your sins and accept Jesus as your Lord and Saviour and live by the WORD of God then you are saved and forgiven. People need to remember a church is a building with sinners attending. I attend no such building and have a daily relationship with our Father. I grew up attending every denomination if church you can think of. Your body is your temple. Church is within you. Read Gods word and pray. Love God and know who Jesus was and why he came here and what he endured. I will pray for you and I hope you will pray for me as well. God bless you.
Singing is the best way to express yourself it’s all around us it’s changes our emotions uni-verse
I think you need to reconsider either changing church or just staying home. Do you have Christian friends you can do things with or just get on the phone if you need to chat.
You can still grow as a Christian without going to church..and sometimes it's not a safe place to go some of these churches until you are a more mature Christian.
or maybe they get tired of lies that arent in scripture like mandated church attendance
Correct.
Many lies are preached.
Twenty years ago, I was at my lowest point in my life. I clinged on to God and went to church because I wanted to be surrounded by fellow believers. However, never have I ever felt so alone after attending church. The people were nice but I felt so alone. Everyone knew each other and they were all chatting away with each other. I was new and although they were nice, I felt left out. After the service, people would catch up with the each other and although one or two talked to me, I felt like it was just for the sake of trying to entertain a new person. I remember going walking to the bus stop and feeling even more depressed than I was before going to church. Tears used to flow down my cheeks and God saw all of that. I began to church hop but I've never really found the right one. It's like something is missing and my heart is not satisfied. I just listen online services may of the times now. Please pray that I'll find the right church soon.
I understand how you feel, same thing happened to me. If your not part of the click your on the outside looking in. It's a big club.
@darthjedi99 True. I guess at the end of the day, you need to be active in church to be part of the gang. But yeah, there are so many cliques. I'm sure they're nice people but a little bit of an effort to reach out to the new members would be nice.
@@ricachona4095 "active in church"??
Do our mean "active in a social club" instead of what NT church was and today's church should be.
I stay away.
I know exactly what you mean.
They're not Biblical so many people feel like they don't want to go there.
I know how you feel I'm the same My anxiety gets so bad St times in crowds and I feel like I don't belong .I will pray that you find a church that you feel the love of God in .Love and hugs
The kingdom of God is within you, Amen 🙏
I don't know how to reply to comment, but this about the person who isolates themselves. I am very isolated, but not for selfish reasons at least I believe so. I moved to a small town and didn't really know anyone but a few people. The one person "I thought" was a good Christian friend, hurt me pretty bad. She divulged that she loved me, loved me then turned around and ended our friendship (twice) because I wasn't "lifting her up spiritually" I didn't judge her once for what she divulged to me. I told her I didn't believe in that and couldn't reciprocate. Then the other "so called Christians" in my life look down their noses at anyone who lives the way they think a person should live, told me that all the bad happening in my life is God punishing me, and gossip to no end. Nothing you tell them in confidence stays in confidence and if I don't start going to Church and "living for the Lord" I will go to hell. It is them and people like them that keep me from going to Church. You can't feel a part of a "body" if you're not treated as part of the body and then one mistake and it's like all the good I've done is non-existent. Very judgemental people! I also have problems being around other people in general (social anxiety). So, I literally have no friends and am alone 99.9% of the time. If I'm not around people I can't be hurt by people.
christians do sin and struggle with bad character learned they need healing too and space
i am alone too i mean i am married but no friends and no church
You are churched, church isnt a building it is the people. I have not gone to church in years and God has taught me so much not mans way but His way. You use scriptures promoting church attendance but there are many that contradict what you say as well.
My anxiety prevents me from going and I feel as if I don’t belong. I volunteered to help arrange an event that they were having, and I realized that all the volunteers were laughing and chatting with each other and I was by myself doing another thing. I felt so alone despite being around so much ppl
You are not alone. I also have anxiety and feel the same. EWTN network helps. You can do spiritual communion. I feel that it is important to go every Sunday to receive the body and blood of Christ but it is a process. Especially if you’re dealing with anxiety. God knows you are trying. Keep trying. Most important thing is to love your neighbors and try to forgive your enemies 🙏🏽
Me too. There's so many things I could suggest, but I'm sure you've already researched. Don't ever quit. Don't fall into the pit of blaming others for anything that comes from inside you. Do keep trying! Pray for God to take anxiety from you. Never forget Satan is the cause of anxiety, never God, who loves you so much!
It's more of a sin to GO to church. They're NOT BIBLICAL
Correct
I got a question why in Acts 17:24 says that God made Heaven and Earth and does not dwell in Temple buildings made by human hands🤔 and then in Ezekiel 16:31 it says you build your Pagan shrines on every street corner and your altars to idols in every squire, in fact you have been worse than prostitute so eager for sin that you have not even demanded payment! What does this mean it sounds to me like he's not in church buildings? Please help me with this😣
We are the church, the church is not supposed to be a building. He's in each and every one of us when we assemble, when we are together.
You will only find religion in church not a relationship
God knows that I have been searching for the most logical answer to my question: "must I go to church as a rule I must follow on a regular basis?". Is this admonition supported by Scripture in the Word? Assembling with other believers is, worshiping is, meeting and encouraging are. I thank the Holy Spirit for answering my question through your commentary. Jesus never said his followers had to meet at a specific building, what many call a "church". His Church is the Body of believers. Thank you. I am blessed by this video and time in God's Word.
I speak regularly with my Christian friends mostly on the phone as we are not close to each other. I would think this satisfies the gathering of worshipers even though we are physically together.
I do not go to church, not because I don't want to go but because there are no churches where I live, and because of that I received lots and lots of judgement from people including my friends who live very far from where I do.Whenever I bring up Jesus or the bible to any of my friends, they just move from the topic and start judging me for not going to church and they say I am not a true believer and as kind as I am, I did not argue, swear or even fighting with them, I just asked them "who is really saved?", I don't go to church yet every morning and every night I pray to God, every time I do what I think god will not except I go down on my knees and ask for forgiveness, I still do believe in god, I don't judge, I help, I read the bible, I talk about god to almost everyone know and just like any other christian I am not looking to get credit for that.
They say that they are true believers and I am not, yet they are focusing on judging and I am focusing on balancing my relationship with God.
I do actually think that I am doing is right but if I am not then my ears are open to what a anyone would like to say to help me go to the right path
Everything in life cannot be ideal. It would be best for you to have that extra support. You can't be your own advice giver, for example. But you can interact with Christians online for the time being. It seems people are always looking for cracks in your armor these days.
You're more a Christian than any of those people judging you for not going.
It brings me back to the story with the pharisees who gave large amounts in the offering and the poor woman who gave just a penny. (She gave all she had and Jesus was proud of her).
God can meet you where you are, and He is most proud of your faith. Don't let people pressure to go to a building where people find more pain than healing anyway. Keep being faithful to God no matter where He has you.
Whenever I find a church , initially they look Biblically correct eventually they show true colours , and people over there are pretty nosy !!
I am a member of a large local church, but I rarely attend, especially during the covid-19 restrictions. I live somewhat like John the Baptist.
So you're a member of a social club they call church.
John the Baptist would NOT approve and neither would Jesus.
Don't confuse going to church, where "two or more are gathered in My name," with church business. Those buildings that host events where they pass around the plate and fund-raise each week are "church businesses."
😆 my church members used to keep telling me that i was fat when i was a kid. I'm no longer fat (maybe their nagging was a good thing?)'but i domt feel like im growing when i go to church. It's just become a social gathering where you're expected to always attend. I'm 18 and even the teens sunday school is just a boring presentation. No engagement whatsoever and it doesn't feel like I CAN ask or engage comfortably. My parents are upset that I'm no longer going but it just doesn't feel right to me.
I used to live in the mission house but left because of internal conflicts but that did not mean I quit church.However since I left church mates like throwing comments about my hair,my attire and it makes me uncomfortable.Consequently ,I find it difficult to go to church when I'm on my lowest.
The Holy Spirit asks me to share this Biblical TRUTH without compromise for those who firmly believe that the CHURCH (Ecclesia) of God in Christ is "NO" longer important/ significant/essential/irrelevant for the process of SALVATION here on Earth, that we only need Christ Jesus alone to have Salvation...
The Gospel of Matthew narrates that Christ Jesus asked the 11 Apostles to Go therefore, BAPTIZING (Water Baptism) them and make DISCIPLESHIP (not Apostleship) of all Nations "IN" the NAME of the Father (God), Son (Christ), and the Holy Spirit/Ghost." (ref. Matthew 28:18-20)
Take Note #1, that the preposition " IN " was asking for a direction of a PLACE... and not the preposition "BY" the Name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
How do I know that the NAME of the Father, Son, and the Holy Spirit has a designated permanent PLACE (home, location, house address), spiritual and literal?...
2 Chronicles 7:16 (KJV/NKJV/NIV/ESV)... "For now I (God) have CHOSEN and SANCTIFIED this HOUSE (Church of God in Christ/Ecclesia), that My (God's) NAME be there FOREVER, and My (God's) EYES, and My (God's) HEART shall be there PERPETUALLY/ETERNALLY."
All Christians must be BAPTIZED with Water for the remission of Sin "IN" the CHURCH and not outside the CHURCH of God in Christ or else the BAPTISM of the Holy Spirit and Fire from Christ Jesus will not come upon us, no matter what... in other words, BAPTISM outside the ECCLESIA is not accepted by God, logically according to the Bible...
Take Note #2... Christ Jesus commanded His 11 Apostles to INITIATES and OFFICIATES the Water Baptism "IN" the CHURCH of God in Christ where the NAME of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit stays PERPETUALLY/ETERNALLY in the CHURCH... The 11 Apostles were the first members of the Church of God in Christ... regardless of whether some successors of the Apostles became rogue or corrupt...
God will not allow anyone including Satan to remove the NAME of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit from the Chosen and Sanctified House (Ecclesia) which is the CHURCH of God (Ecclesia) founded and established by Christ Jesus nearly 2000 years ago just because some Chruch Leaders/Elders/Vicars/forefathers became Rogue or Corrupt... When Christ Jesus returns, all those who became Rogue and Corrupt in His CHURCH will be dealt with fairly and accordingly... Amen...
Thanks, you for your time... I spent time writing this without any remuneration (financial gain) but out of love for my neighbors to share the Biblical TRUTH without compromise... the choice is still yours... Peace be with you all... Glory and Praise be to God in Christ Jesus... Amen and Amen...
WHY do you even bring up this subject?
Bible never said it's a sin to not go?
Why don't you bring up what Bible calls SIN?
Stop trying to be right with God by doing,trust in the blood atonement then Holy Spirit will lead you
Salvation by grace through faith alone. I recently discovered this, and the freedom I feel makes me want to serve him more, and I do. Not perfect but not hung up on works anymore. Do them freely out of love now, not a sense of obligation.
It's not a sin but good luck discerning God from the devil while in isolation. I'm warning from personal experience
There are many other reasons why people do not go to church & it is not always a sin.on the part of the person not going to church but a sin on the part of certain members, elder/s or the pastor or all 3. I would say that most of us do not have the option like you David to go to a small House Church that encourages, loves, accepts, helps people to grow as Christians & become true disciples. After all you do say that there are many goats in the church, which can include the pastor & elders, mixed with the sheep. What happens to people if they meet to many goats who don't accept them. Do the goats pick on the large high up sheep that they cannot attack so well. No, they pick on the vulnerable weak, smaller sheep, the sheep who is alone who are easier prey & cannot stand up for themselves & who most people would not listen to. David you are in a much more privileged position than most of us. You have been a pastor, have many Christian friends, you have Christian family, children etc. You are not alone & have never faced life as some people have who have no family & who often feel & experience rejection by the church
It's Never a sin not to go to a church building.
It's a sin To Go
Contemporary church's are more like rock concerts than a church service. Mostly music and singing. No altar but a stage with a band. Young people like that but there is nothing solemn or holy about it to me.
I’m tired of the busyness of church. Easter egg hunts and now trunk or treat these things aren’t even biblical every time I turn around there’s a brunch a meeting and always have to bring something I know, I’m ranting I’m just tired.
The only thing I found in the "church" was religion and heresy.
I cant go to church becuz I live in an islamic country(iran) is it a sin for me or not?
Blvck, no it's not a sin. God understands your situation how the government treats you. Just serve God with all your heart, mind and soul, cause the government can't take that from you What you have to do in secret, God will bless you openly. Be blessed 🙏😇✝❤
@@davidrichards6974 what about if your parents don't wanna go to church? But you do
@@blaydeplays Where ever Christ is within your heart, that is where the True Church is, where also His Word has been preserved, first upon the Cross by the Father, and then through the Holy Spirit within you.
thats right.. u can get saved right in yur own home...u can make an altar just with a chair and pray or u can pray in private btween u and god.. thats all that matters.. if u cant go to church god understands u ..if he makes way for u to go then u should go yes.. but u dont have to go and its not a sin
@@chriscollins5050 So it's not a sin if you don't go to church but you pray and love Jesus with all of your heart,right??
I love you too, brother, and I think you are spot on!💙 My husband and I used to be leaders in the church building we attended. We no longer attend and never found a church with like-minded folks in our area. It is important to us to hear the entire word of God and not just the fluffy parts, so we are busy "being" the church wherever we are, and do "church" daily with a tiny handful of people. It seems that most church buildings are loath to speak about hell, or obedience, or repentance, or the book of Revelation for instance, and will often call it "legalism" and don't realize they have been indoctrinated into new age thinking. Jesus is the truth, which means the ENTIRE truth, and not just the parts that fit into our own agenda. I am by no means perfect, and I know that we are saved by grace through faith; but I also know that grace gives us the power not to continue in sin. I simply have to be about my Father's business, you feel me? ☺
Amen 🙏 🙏 🙏
I feel a bit awkward (I'm a muslim)
I agree with you, the church should be about Jesus and being in the Presence of God. I do not go to chat with people. I think like the previous writer spoke the church has changed with all the different ones teaching new doctrine.
My landlords are Christian I spend time with them.
One of the biggest reasons I stopped going is because of the tithe . I know the Pastor has living expenses but many work. I found when I gave 10 percent I did not have enough to live on the rest of the month. When got told I’d to do that rent was not almost what got every month.
And my next issue is having to have someone else drive me to the church knowing they get ready themselves . I live in the country so it’s extra driving time.
I have gone through this for years and you never ever heard me talk like this when went to the church with the greatest of all Pastors we all loved.
He went home to the Lord to get his reward recently and it grieves my heart but been hundreds of miles from his church for about 10 years!
He will be missed but am sure He has His reward! I grew more in those years than any since! “Well done good and faithful servant”.
The modern church has a lot of issues. I've recently stopped going because the structure isn't fulfilling. I've been trying to stay connected with Bible studies and other meetings.
With utmost respect brother in Christ where does it say in the Bible that you can't be alone Christian? Yes we are supposed to be all together I know there's scriptures on that but where does it say we can't church is in our heart God is in our heart Jesus Christ is in our heart Friday I just passed beginning of the month after being out of church a new church a game the pastor spiritually abused me what the heck. The church that I used to go to for 6 years I was badly spiritually abused forced to hug up on everybody. Sorry I I don't I do the Lord's work I love working for the Lord but I'm with respect where does what scripture please I say that humbly cuz I'm not going to allow a pastor just spiritually abuse me ever again. The first time I had to get serious counseling on it counseling from a counselor. And the worst thing is being forced to hug up to allow these people to hug up on me and be kissing me there's more detail please forgive me I forgive them I forgive myself in Jesus mighty name.
This man doesn't stay close to God's Holy Word.
Stay away from church buildings.
Stay close to Jesus.
Shalom
What about attending an online Church on Sundays?
Whether in person or on the internet. As long as you're sending that man money, that's all they really care about. I'm trying to figure it all out myself through prayer and reading Gods Word. I'm trying to be condemned or approved by the Holy Spirit.
People are the Church
The Bible doesn't say you have to go to a church
Have you read church history? St. Anthony of Egypt, "the patriarch of the monks" according to Schaff, lived alone, away from other humans, for his entire adult life beyond 285 AD. Do you think he broke his covenant with God through Jesus by choosing to live alone? I sure don't. Of course it's difficult, and impossible for most. I've come to the realization that in scripture there are encouragements, and there are deal-breakers. Being a liar is a deal breaker. One cannot persist in lying and inherit the Kingdom of God, for example. But there are no commands that say that living alone, even in isolation, in and of itself is "sin." It can be difficult and dangerous, and I'm sure it was for St. Anthony of Egypt, but it's not a deal-breaker. (But still, great message BTW and way more balanced than you'll get from the pulpit. Preachers are continually using Hebrews 10 v25 as a "clobber verse" to guilt people into attending their church.)
It says in the Bible "those who isolate themselves are selfish". It's a quote that my Pastor referred to recently. It's not exactly a sin to be alone, it's just bad to stay away from people with no proper excuse.
@@staticchimera44 Hi Static. If this is a quote, where is it found? (Looks like The Message to me.)
@@BasementBerean Proverbs 18:1
@@staticchimera44 I could not locate the specific translation you quoted from (do you know?). Here is Wycliffe. "He that will go away from a friend, seeketh occasions, that is, feigneth causes, (or looketh for reasons); in all time he shall be despisable." So, here it is about a friend who doesn't want to be a friend anymore. A bit more nuanced and specific. This passage is all over the place across different translations. Some are more nuanced than just a person being selfish because they isolate themselves.
@@BasementBerean From the language, it looks like old English. Similar to different languages, there are phrases and slang words that aren't understood by other languages. I prefer to read the modern English quotes which talk more about a person being "unfriendly" or "isolated". What they are trying to say in that quote shouldn't be taken at face value so I deduce that it is probably saying "a person that goes away from people in general, will look for reasons to justify themselves", but that's just my perspective.
A lot of the church members at the baptist church I grew up going to were always asking me “have you got a job yet?” “Got a car yet got a license?” Never spiritual questions about my bible reading and what I’m doing in my walk with God I felt so nervous and left because of the pressure and stress they gave me, they’re not my friends anymore and I try to stay away from people. I don’t know, that’s just me. I worship God alone at home.
I had the same experience. I felt stressed when asked do I have a car? Than they would include them in sermons or during testimony time. I felt judged and rejected. I'm still looking for a church home
@@Birdie319 you don’t have to go. We worship in truth and in spirit. Heart and head.
@mhart2269 I enjoyed going to church when I was younger and I still desire to go to church, just having a hard time-finding one here where I live. I might need to move
It's not so much I don't like church. I'm very introverted and socially awkward and have a hard time being around people in general
It's a sin to go to an institutional church.
no its not a sin to not go... u can get saved right in yur own home
So, I guess I’m one of those sinners David. How then do I meet these others smaller groups like myself? I’m also wondering how you manage to run these small churches and still manage to pay the bills?
If you obey other disciples will join you. Go and make disciples first, proclaim the gospel
It is better to go to church than to sleep
Yeah
SLEEP
It's definitely better to STAY AWAY from church buildings.
Don't leave out elderly in nursing homes. I've seen faithful Christians have CHURCH and WORSHIP together with just a patient and nurse which makes two. This with maybe a recorded sermon can make a church with more influence than a Mega Church not preaching the gospel.
I loved this !! Would this include me and my wife , currently we have not found a small group but aren’t able to make it to the big box church , honestly we don’t agree with the big box church unbiblical take on things that are major for me and my wife. We talk to family members in the faith , discussing scriptures and holding each other accountable, would this suffice until God leads us somewhere else ?
I agree with almost everything you have said, however sin is a force that works in us , not going to church is not a sin, all the believers I know that don't go to church don't go because they have been hurt and offended by the abuse of church authority and its not helpful to condemn these people however if you are not part of a group of believers then you are missing out in a lot of the blessings that God intended for his people, you don't grow and your children and grandchildren can miss out. I have been around Christians for over 40 years and I have not seen a single church that practices discipleship however God is in the business of church reform and I see a lot of change coming around this area along with having all things in common, Gods unconditional love expressed through his church, restoration of selfless Apostles who have no concern for material wealth but only building the kingdom of God, ordinary Christians doing signs,wonders and miracles, weak and poor people (by tthe worlds standards) being powerful men and women of God (like Davids mighty men on velour). The church challenging the emerging world empire, the Jews accepting Jesus as the messiah and both groups being murdered for their faith and much more
Saying not going to church keeps you from growing is WRONG.
I grow more by Not going.

I moved house right before the first lockdown to south east England. My local church closed but once it reopened, I couldn't bring myself to go. The rules of limited numbers, mandatory masks, socially distanced, banned socialising, no singing were all too disturbing. They've closed again anyway. So I have no church or fellowship and not sure what to do about it. I'm a relatively new Christian. Online bible teachings have been the hugest of blessings.

Church and fellowship?
Is that all you carnal people talk about?
That's not the important stuff according to God's Word.
Did you ever find a church? @Deebs1973
Jesus Christ laid out the path to eternal life. He never mentioned going to church. Church is for the fellowship of believers in Christ but only in West Virginia have I ever seen a real church that celebrities the life of Christ. Most have their own agenda that mostly includes making money.
Yes, making money and social clubs
I got saved in 1979, if it weren't for that church I wouldn't have got saved. There was no internet then.
The church is the called out ones not a building point being come together to encourage one another in our most Holy faith. Paul did this by calling believers out to a meeting to hear the word of God.
I get together with my brother once a week to study and listen to the sound doctrine of the Word of God through Jesus Christ. We also talk on the phone every day. The uncompromising Word of the living Christ along with prayer and worship. We are online members of a pastor in Hawaii who is censorsed for speaking the truth on this platform. His uncensored preaching is on his website. Lord bless you all! Maranatha!
If that pastor of Hawaii is Miguel Cardona then you are deceived.He is a liar and a grand hypocrite...I should know because I'm his half blood brother who he wished me deceased...Brother, trust in God and go with Him, not him or pastors.

It's not a sin to not go to church.
Calling Christians names for not attending church is evidence of why Christians may not go to your church.
Not all born-again Christians believe the same thing which hinders fellowship.
Don't assume gathering at a local church is the fulfillment of Hebrews 10:25.
Sometimes churches need to look at what they are teaching as the reason people don't attend their church.
No it's not it's a sin to disbelief in Jesus Christ
Sin not to go to church?,, God wants us to congregate (assembly),,,, but, the word also says that we are not to congregate with those in darkness ,,,, and if you can't find a church not in darkness,,, assemble with those that are of likemindedness, and work together to become united in the same faith ,,,, however, because all of Christianity is under the Mark of the beast in the forehead and this began 24, years before the Constitution was signed In this country,,the devil and his fellow, Julius Caesar fulfilled Daniel 7 vs 25 Man SHALL think to change time and law God's reckoning of time and law,,, 46years before the birth of Jesus Christ and is the primary reason Jesus Christ came the first time because it was causing God's people to fall away from the truth and worship false gods and idol's ,the names of the days of the week are dedicated days to the false god it represents like,,,,, Sun,,,,day,,,moon,,,,day,,,,etc.,,,these two creations are not gods,,just the two great lights the real God created and made to shine ONLY on the earth,,,,,,,,however the ordinances God placed on the moon (Jeremiah 31:35-37)are the heart of God's reckoning of time,also found in ISAIAH 66 vs 23.plain, and simple,,,, the calendar makes it IMPOSSIBLE to find God's day of rest,,,the calendar is a GRAVEN image of false gods which brakes All of God's commandments especially the Sabbath day that is the Seal of the living God, and yes I have seen him and he waved to me three times,all you got to do is stop living by the devil's mouth pieces calendar,,,its the abomination that maketh desolate because it makes you against God by you keeping the commandments of men and keeping the rudiments and tradition's of the world,which Jesus Christ did not pray for those who followed the beast of the day and today,,,Rome,,,,let no man deceive you Jesus Christ said for many false Prophets and false Christ will appear in his name,,like the pope that thousands have seen and heard him praying to Lucifer which is the devil on TH-cam and he is a child raper and got away with it,,,be blessed and study to show yourself approved unto God,,, and if you want to see God before you die,,,,,show him you love him by keeping His commandments especially the Sabbath day, student John 14 verse's 15 through 21 and Revelation 12 verse's 1 and 2,,,,carefully.
I do have a question for you after the first paragraph.
I don't go to church. The only one I know of around me is a Catholic Church, and I do not drive, due to my eyesight (legally blind, not completely). I always tell people, "Not everyone who goes to church will see the kingdom of God, and not everyone who stays home will see eternal damnation". Many Christians treat "going to Church" as though it were one of the 10 Commandments, and yet it is not a sin unto death, or it would be one of the 10, would it not? I believe that the church is not a bunch of bricks, as well God's Word says the church will fall asleep, as we see happening today with so many doctrines, "comforting" mainstream christianity divides Gods Word as the Romans have divided His garments. I believe, wheresoever Christ is within you, that is where the True Church is, not in the Written Letter, for we are under Grace and not the Law. The Law was Written for the lawless. Christs death upon the Cross was the fulfillment of the Old Covenant, and that fulfillment was LOVE. It is Written, "Out of the abundance of the heart, the mouth speaks!", so what comes out of our mouth is a reflection of what is within our hearts. Many professing christians use profanity, and find nothing wrong with it. Many ordained ministers, ordained on "paper", and not by God, use profanity in the same breath their lips flatter God.
I don't understand the Trinity, but I believe it, and God's Word says, "No one comes to the Father, except through Me".
My question is... someone responded to me with the following statement, and I want to know how YOU would respond... You probably gather as well as myself, that we are fighting Roman Catholicism here, of whom are crafty in their twisting of God's Word:
"C. Confession has nothing to do with the foundation of the Church, you don't simply confess to Christ then He would build it on you as that would mean there would be millions or even billions of Churches with different doctrines which is contrary to Scripture that says God is not an author of confusion in 1 Corinthians 14:33
D. Lying Testimonies are a true waste of time, i've got that conclusion from reading Alberto Rivera's ridicolous claims"
My response to him is below this line, but it was not enough, so below that I shared a video...
Confession is EVERYTHING!
1 John 1:9-10 (NKJV)
9 If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. 10 If we say that we have not sinned, we make Him a liar, and His word is not in us.
John 3:5 (NKJV)
5 Jesus answered, “Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of God.
The Water is the Word, the Spirit is the Spirit of Truth that is the Holy Spirit.
Proverbs 28:13 (NKJV)
13 He who covers his sins will not prosper,
But whoever confesses and forsakes them will have mercy.
Psalm 32:5 (NKJV)
5 I acknowledged my sin to You,
And my iniquity I have not hidden.
I said, “I will confess my transgressions to the Lord,”
And You forgave the iniquity of my sin. Selah
The Bible says to always be prepared to give an account of your faith to others. I can handle many Christian issues, but it takes a former Catholic to help a practicing Catholic, so having exhausted all of my current means, I posted a video hoping that another former Catholic would answer his questions.
This is the video I shared -- Former Irish Priest of 22 years, Richard Bennett

Dear Harold Christian radio is a really good way to connect with other Christians UCB 1 AND2.
Harold, confess your sins to Jesus, not a pedophile. You have only one Father and that's your Father in heaven.
If i read the bible, dedicate time to fellowship with the lord , fast each week and pray, i don’t see why being an “alone Christian” is impossible . Especially, if i am also constantly seeking out the words and teachings of Jesus and God by doing what I’m doing now, watching videos, leaving comments, joining in with the believing community online, how is that being an “alone Christian” if i don’t attend an actual church? The Bible is incredibly outdated in its context of human ability in modern day and for modern worshippers. Back then, yes attendance of a church or synagogue very much was important, they didn’t have access to knowledge and technology the way that we do now. There was no phones, there was no computers, no social media, no television etc…so how does everything that’s stated in the bible is to be so beholden by us as modern believers and worshippers? Therefore, honestly, i can’t see why a person cannot follow the lord at home, in secret in their prayer closet. I do believe it does mention that too in the Bible. That we are all to have a prayer closet to pray and worship god in secret which can also imply alone. Please, correct me if I’m wrong about that though, anybody. I don’t do churches because many are corrupt and really don’t teach all that needs to be known anyway. They teach and preach what they choose to. While i can learn things they don’t teach, alone and on my own time. If a person is constantly hungry to learn and to follow Jesus Christ and his ways, how is an actual church needed in modern times? Yes, you can be a lone Christian in modern times. No one is actually really alone anyway. Especially, if they have Jesus and God. That’s three/enough people right there to congregate, is it not? Just my humble opinion. God bless.
Very good teaching! Be the church wherever you are.
Plus $$$$$$ other ppl come talk about their mission $$$$ again. Church maintanc .money for kids trips you know what nobody gave my kid money for trips. Bishop appeal retired priest nun retirement . Seriously. New roof oh thats another envelope. Ivrealized i gave over 2000 last year. I thought rude priest horrible masses that put me to sleep. You know what really excites bible class and ready bible every night i love it. And church movies not a building
Cortect David.
But you aren't obeying if you have too much.
You have too much.
Church is not the only place to be with fellow believers.
Ask him if you can still go to Heaven if you mail your money in every Sunday instead of delivering it to the Church in person
God knows whats in your Heart and in your Soul, that's what gets you to Heaven, not money or being dragged or someone dragging you to Church, also the Pastor, Priest etc, does not float down from heaven every Sunday, they are regular Joe's that went to a seminary, like I went to college
And the priests joined the Roman Catholic Church to have an excuse why they never married someone their own age, as they are not allowed to marry (a man made Roman Catholic Church law) and also to pick up kids, like normal people go to a bar to pick up someone their own age
Why do Pastors have a wife and kids and not have the desire to chase kids around the Church for sex like Priests, something the Pope is trying to stop, but will never be able to, just ship them to another part of the country to start over and do the same
I'm a X-ROMAN CATHOLIC (8th generation) my 7 year old Son was raped by a Priest, I put a bullet in the Priests head and did 30 months of a 10 year prison sentence, my son committed suicide at the age of 19, he never got over it
I will never go to Heaven as I am not sorry for killing him (5th Commandment)
I'll join my son in Hell, as committing suicide is a ticket to Hell (5th Commandment)
Some people may say I should have forgiven the priest
But God flooded the entire earth for 40 days and 40 nights, to kill and handful of people that he didn't like (one example)
So, maybe God's not as forgiving , as most people are lead to believe
I'm very sorry about what happened to your son. I cannot imagine what you have been through. I would want to do the same thing if that happened to my son or granddaughters I am sure.
I'm not a Catholic so I don't believe someone goes to hell if they commit suicide. You don't know that he went to hell. I've known Christians who have committed suicide and I don't believe it they went to hell although it caused me to think about it and I did wonder with each one. They believed on the Lord Jesus alone for salvation but they were in a very bad place mentally and emotionally.
We will be very surprised who will be with God and who won't be. No sin is too big for God to forgive. Only God can help you. I don't know if I could ever forgive either. All I know is God is your only hope as he is mine.
Again, I'm really sorry and just want you to know that I care what happens to you. If your son is in heaven you need to be there also..please reconsider your situation. I encourage you to give everything to God..even if you are angry and feel as if you hate him. You can't do it alone..it's too big.
Robert, I'm truly sorry for the loss of your son and I mean that. I felt your pain in reading your story. I agree with you on the Priest. They're nothing but pedophiles. They are a fake religion! However, I disagree that you can't get forgiveness for killing that demonic priest. Jesus took the place of Barrabas. A KNOWN murderer. We just have to truly repent and turn to Jesus my friend. God bless my brother!
I pray that you can heal from this trauma. That pedo will face the consequences of his actions on judgement day. Pray to God for feelings of forgiveness because it is not fair on yourself. Forgiving that horrible person doesn't mean that what he did was okay- forgiving means letting go of feelings of resentment and moving on for your own salvation trusting that God will inflict punishment on him even after death.🙏 I am also so sorry for the loss of your son. God bless you and I believe that you can do this!
Your body is the body of Christ. Do not do anything to destroy the temple
People are the church (temple) Jesus is the foundation (I will build my house on s rock).
I stop going . The priest is rude. He makes his boring I start to go off to LA la land . The mass is the worst. So I go give $$$$$ I better than not going. I live bible class so so much get a lot out it. I started reading the 1 year challenge reading Bible even though I read it 3 times I believe in all. Jesus lord holy spirit I pray and before bed too. I follow the word of God commandment I talk to God always.sorry but I won't the priest sorry is rude .
Yea i go to church. Used to i should say. Then kids grew up left home. I go by myself nobody ever says hi. I not looking for hey here i am drop to the ground. But go week and week. Its lost so many ppl b all the regulars no longer are there. Mass attenance is very small. I dont mind going by myself feel nothing
I don't like the media in the church. No one speaks of the difficult times in the bible.
I learn more on my own. Tge last church I went to the pastor spoke about alcohol.
You used a verse completely out of context. That verse about two or more gathered is pertaining to how to handle unruly church members
The institution of which you speak is a building and not a body of believers.
Church is where two or more are gathered in His name, it only takes one other person than yourself to have church, fellowship is important and learning what the bible teaches is important, however, going to the wrong church can have you living in condemnation depending on what their teaching, if they say what your doing is sin and you keep doing it, then you are a slave to sin, if they say what your doing is a sin, I would ask them to PROVE it by God's word, if they can't prove it by God's word then their dreaming it up, saying not going to church is a sin is one example, not going to church is not a sin, it might be stupid or smart depending on what your seeking, someone saying you have to go to church to be saved is trying to make you feel guilty or be condemned or think God is against you, how will the people respond when it comes the time where God tells them to come out of her? in the last days, so many believe we are in the last days yet still go to church, I have to agree with the one's leaving the church's of today, I've been to many of them and have yet to see one preaching or teaching the truth fully, just parts of the truths and many of them that cause people to divorce and many more that cause people to not have a desire to seek God by talking about things they have no business talking about, like the things that go on behind closed doors if you know what I mean, they turn more away from God than they lead to Him by making it so hard to believe in God and obey Him, two issues going on now that turn so many away are major issues which has to do with sex, having sex before getting married and masturbation, condemned by most church's but not condemned by God, the main reason comes from these people or church's not knowing God's Law but walk after the deceptions of their own hearts, dreaming up things to call sin that God doesn't, most people that know God's law will not murder, commit adultery, rape someone, commit incest, sleep with the same sex sexually, cheat on that person their in a sexual relationship with, have sex with an animal, try to uncover the nakedness of someone related to them by blood or marriage, do to a prostitute for sex, all these things in the law is what fornication means but because they don't know what fornication means they have to dream up a meaning for the word, they ADD to God's word or His law and teach having sex not being married is a sin or masturbating is a sin which neither of them by the law is a sin, they will use scriptures they read they don't understand to back their belief or they are simply given to man's customs or traditions, run from these people or they will have you living in fear of the unknown, probably living in self condemnation to, don't fear them, stand up to them, their power is only in their speech
I'm disabled and cant get to church, what does this do to me? My church hasn't even contacted me to help me 😢
The verse that says " Where 2 or 3 are gathered" in Matthews 18:20 in not in reference of gathering for worship or fellowship. This verse is in reference to coming into agreement in correcting a brother because they have refused to believe the 2 or 3 brothers that attempted to correct them or him, This has nothing to do with gathering because we all know that where even one is, Christ is there also. 2 or 3 is not required to have the presence of the Lord. You missed the context of this verse.
Hebrews 10 starts with teaching of the work of Christ then leads into the warning of the coming in verse 25 and forward. When the Apostle spoke of "Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some" ....The some here are those the left abandoned their walk with Christ to return back to Judaism and the Mosaic Law. The second part of that verse he give them the warning of the coming Judgment "but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching". Here is the exhorting one another to continue in the faith. This has nothing to do with church attendance as a requirement. CONTEXT, CONTEXT AND MORE CONTEXT, is referring to the teaching and belief in Christ from verse 1-24 then the warning of abandoning the faith with the coming Judgment of Matt 24 and the temple sign to flee, from Hebrews 10:25-39.
Assembling together is by all means a good thing but not a requirement as though we are once again under a yoke of the Mosaic Law in following the commandments. Not attending a church is not a sin. If we gather, let it be out of love not a requirement, in the same method we give. It all has the same concept and teaching of giving from love and being a cheerful giver, as is the same in gathering out of love and gathering cheerfully.
Churches too many times teaches the wrong thing and place people under bondage, as with the false teaching of tithing.
"Where two or three are gathered together..." in context, this is for church discipline. Context!
I don’t like going to church because I get scared I’ll get in somebodies way or if somebody doesn’t like me in that church. I am a daughter of god, even though I don’t like going to church Z
Although most Christians use the phrase" go to church " freely, it is a terribly misleading and unscripural statement ! The church is not an event that one attends ,or a geographical location. The Church id the Christians themselves, believers in Christ, its the PEOPLE, NOT A BUILDING, OR EVENT! we Christians ARE THR CHURCH. You cannit " go " to something you "ARE!
When Heb. 10:24 was written there were no church buildings so it cannot mean go to a church building.
It simply means to stay connected with brothers and sisters in Christ.
CHURCH is religion man made .. YESHUA commanded us to spread the Gospel. Besides, most churches just want money & fame .. I want to follow an Apostle like YESHUA if we all truly obey God's commandments we must not follow the celebration of this world christian.. Yeshua is Jewish ... Anyway, I pray for everyone that God will give us all Wisdom & Guidance . If truly the church is GODLY why dont you all help the poor, give all money to them dont buy cars, houses, jets etc...
We are talking about SUNDAY ATTENDANCE not “ASSEMBLING” I go to bible study ever tueday but I don’t go
To church in the morning. According to this video that means. I’m good?
But where do you got to Bible Study?
The reason alot of people don't go to church anymore is because so many are so woke. Social justice speeches in the pulpit,DEI essays on the website of the church,women pastors,an LGTBQ+XYZ/Trans agenda,the Sparkle Creed in some Episcopal churches.
Where's the Word of God preached? Where's good,sound biblical preaching? Where's the lessons to take us into the week?
I'm in a liberal city where it's hard to find non-woke,non-prosperity preaching,all Biblically principled teaching.
I'm a woman but I don't want a woman pastor. I don't want an all inclusive,anything goes church and members.
It's a HUGE part as to why so many don't go to church. Preach the Word not the world;there's enough of it outside the church,on the news and social media.
For me I’m comfortable with doing Bible study from home and I know god want us to love people but there’s judgy people in church or the church people that are stuck up.
If you're watching a Church sermon on TV at home you are in church
Sorry sir, but I can praise the lord where ever I am in the world. The church have too many denominations.
Awesome video makes perfect sense
NO ..in these last days Church is not where you will find GOD [ SEVERLY UNDERSTATED ]
YOU SHOULD ADDRESS THE REASONS WHY PEOPLE HAVE LEFT CHURCH, ACKNOWLEDGE AND VALIDATE THIER TRAUMA AND HURTS, ENCOURAGE RESTORATION
WHAT IF ITS A CULT CHURCH? IM NOT GOING AROUND THEM PEOPLE. AM I WRONG?
No it’s not a sin but when you’re a visually impaired man like I am you’ll be appreciative of going to a church building several times a week least it gives me something to look forward to and grow spiritually God bless!
It is a sin to dearh if you are not born directly in a churchbuilding.
it is called the sin against the Holy Pastor and can not be forgiven from the Pastor who needs the money.
Am I right?
bible does not say you sin because you dont gather together it does not say that
