funshint:I never said so, where did i say something like that? Church gets you more evil. You hear Christians saying we can now sin because the laws have been abolished. See, you Christians have all been sold a lemon. You must keep the laws. Fact. Misunderstanding paul is all you Christians do. "And account that the longsuffering of our Lord is salvation; even as our beloved brother Paul also according to the wisdom given unto him hath written unto you;" (2 Peter 3:15)."As also in all his epistles, speaking in them of these things; in which are some things hard to be understood, which they that are unlearned and unstable wrest, as they do also the other scriptures, unto their own destruction." (2 Peter 3:16)<<< thats what they do in church. |

See, you Christians have all been sold a lemon. You must keep the laws. Fact. Misunderstanding paul is all you Christians do.What you're saying now is a different thing entirely though you're right. So many pastors mislead their members to believe that they are well covered because christ has alrdy died for their sins. Thus they are not bound by the old laws...may God help us! |

You will answer the question yourself if you truly respond affirmatively to my questions: * are you saved? * do you meet the criteria expected of you? * are you well-versed scripturally to position you independent of church? Attending church is not a sure ticket to heaven though it can aid you there sha. |

/ Wetin concern church and heaven? Church is supposed to be a place where believers get together to worship God. But today, church has been redefined as a place where smooth talkers gather and hustle their followers. They promise their followers enjoyment in heaven..while they opt for enjoyment on earth. And if that format doesn't work, they coerce/threaten you to bribe God to get his blessings. Most Nigerians do not see anything wrong in this practice because bribery is an acceptable practice in the society. That is to say, bribe the policeman, freedom of movement; bribe the judge, freedom from prosecution; bribe God, material acquisition. You do not need church to go to heaven. Which church sef? Catholics detest Anglicans who detest pentecostal and vice versa in reverse order. \ 2 Likes |

@op †ђξ above are just acts of faithful living. To make heaven you must be trully bred by a bible believing assembly. The bible tasks us to test every spirit to know if is from †ђξ lord so Щњεn U̶̲̥̅̊ enter a church if U̶̲̥̅̊ aя̩̥̊ε̲̣̣̣̥ trully being led by †ђξ spirit of God, he will tell U̶̲̥̅̊ whether U̶̲̥̅̊ shld remain in ƌ̲̣̣̣̥at local assembly if U̶̲̥̅̊ aя̩̥̊ε̲̣̣̣̥ very sensitive in †ђξ spirit. Do not be deceived by acts of righteousness ƌ̲̣̣̣̥at was †ђe way of †ђξ pharisees ƌ̲̣̣̣̥at Jesus condemned.

[quote author=faby11] Yes you can make it to heaven if you accept Jesus as your Lord and Savior with your whole life revolving around him, 1 Cor 2:16-19, ye are the temple of God not the "church", also the Church is a group of people not a place, so if you have fellowship with a group of people ( two or three people Matt 18:20) you fellowship will be accepted. Also God does not dwell in temple made with imperfect hand, but rather he dwells in man ( perfect man that he made with his perfect hand). Acts 7:48-50 Fellowship with the Lord Jesus and He will lead you through His Word. "Please note that sin is not able to make that which is perfect imperfect." 1 Like |

mrs bin gbagbo: ie by believing in Jesus, by praying, by fasting, by trying to abstain from sin etc. cant i make heaven with these?My sister, I'm happy for you because you want to make heaven as a Christian. Today, so many people go to church but not with the aim of making heaven. Heaven is a prepared place for prepared people and no place prepares one for heaven better than the church. If you don't want the general church, please have a group that pray and discuss Bible with you at home because the Bible says iron sharpens iron and do not forsake the assembly of brethren. But you did not tell us why you don't like the church. The Psalmist says I was glad when they said let us go to the house of the Lord. Please get born again and you will find yourself loving the gathering of brethren. Anyone who goes to church without heaven in mind is miserable. 1 Like |

The children of God were gathered in a room at ephesus praising the Lord and the Holy spirit descended upon them in form of cloves of fire. Please don't be mislead. The annointing did not go to look for those people in their homes. They had to be in unison. "When 2 or 3 are gathered in my name...." You need to grow in your spiritual life and you need the church to guide you and help you learn as you walk step by step unto total righteousness. I'm not just guessing but talking from my personal experience. I made the mistake that is still haunting me up till now and as a brother I sincerely advice you not to attempt it or if you already have try to seek help from a real man of God. SIN WILL DEFINITELY CREEP INTO YOUR LIFE AS SOON AS YOU DETACH YOURSELF FROM HIS PRESENCE. You may not notice it early enough. You may make the decision to step out yourself but when coming in, you'll another's help. By God's grace I'd be heading back into His presence soonest and I indulge you to do same. GOD BLESS YOU 1 Like |

Luke4:16 he came to Nazareth, where he had been brought up: and, as his custom was, he went into the synagogue on the sabbath day, and stood up for to read. Heb10:25 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. Ur identity with christ is what takes u to heaven. |

If we base our salvation on church going, den dos who do not hav d opportunity of going to church ll not be saved. Salvation is in ur relalationship wit God. So its just important u do all u can to keep dat relationship of wic meeting oda gud xtians is part. Shalom |

I AM SO SO HAPPY SOME ONE CAN COME UP WITH THIS KIND OF ENLIGHTENING SUBJECT. (my contribution comes like a proverb ''if a lizard rejects the comfort of a tree, destruction awaits it'') . .REASONS WHY YOU MUST GO TO CHURCH: Some believers don't think it is necessary for them to belong to a particular local assembly - church. While some attend a different church e very week without commitment to any, some don't attend at all. As Christains, it's important for you to identify with a local assembly, a church you can call your HOME and participate fully in the activities. Otherwise, you'll deprive your self of a lot of God's blessings and you'll be walking out of line with His Word. Here are some of the reasons you must go to church: 1) GOD SAID SO: The Scripture is unambiguous in letting us know that God desires His children to attend churchmeetings. In Hebrews 10:25, the admonition is clear not to forsake the assembly (meetings) of the brethren, and even goes on to indicate that some were erroneously doing so. 2) JESUS DID, SHOWING US A PATTERN TO FOLLOW: The scriptures show that the Lord Jesus had a culture of going to "church." It was part of His personal discipline and devotion - His custom: "And he came to Nazareth, where he had been brought up: and, as his custom was, He went into the synagogue on the sabbath day, and stood up for to read" (Luke 4:16). The Master took going to "church" as an important activity, and having been called into fellowship with Him we should follow His example and live as He did. 3) IT IS THE VEHICLE BY WHICH YOU FUNCTION IN THE BODY OF CHRIST: A Christain is not a committed Christain until he demostrates his commitment in the local assembly, because the local assembly forms an integral part of the spiritual body of Christ, which is God's representative on earth. You can't function in that body until you function in the local assembly. The early church was made up of local assemblies, and several were mentioned in the epistles, for example Romans 16:5 and Revelation 3. 4) THE CHURCH IS THE PILLAR AND GROUND OF TRUTH (1 Timothy 3:15): God wants His children to know the truth about life, because the truth makes you free from bondage and sets you at liberty. In the Church ,you're taught the truth. In the absence of the truth, a man will believe a lie and be a victim of it. For example the scriptures tells us that Jesus has abolished death, and brought life and immortality to light through the gospel. In th Church, these truths are not only taught, but explained. The teaching of God's Word is crutial for victorious living, and the Church is the primary placd for this. 5) THE CHURCH IS A PLACE OF FELLOWSHIP WITH OTHER CHRISTAINS: Fellowship with other Christains is crucial to thegrowth of a believer. In Hebrews 10:24-25 we're admonished to provoke one another to love,and to good works. We're also to encourage one another. In Proverbs 27:17, the scriptures indicate that we sharpen ourselves as we fellowship. The company a man keeps will affect his life and growth (1Corrinthians 15:33). So keeping and being found in the right company is desirable, and going to church facilitates this. 6) THE CHURCH IS A PLACE WHERE CHRISTAIN GROWTH AND CHARACTER ARE ENHANCED: In Ephasians 4:11-16, the scriptures clearly state that God ordains certain offices for the benefit of the Christain, for growth and to sharpen his spiritual development. These offices are found in the Church, and men are ordained into them for the local assembly, for the benefit of those in that local assembly. 7) THE CHURCH IS A PLACE WHERE YOU HEAR THE WORD REQUIRED FOR FAITH AND LIFE: God requires us to live by faith, for without faith it's impossible to please Him (Hebrews 11:6). The preaching of the Word imparts faith and the teaching of the Word helps that faith grow as you understand and put what you've learnt to work.  THE CHURCH IS A PLACE OF TRAINING: In 2 Timothy 3:16, the Bible lets us know that the Word of God is given to train and instruct you. In the Church, God sets instructors who are able to instruct you in the truth, and help you culture your life. The Church is a place where discipline and proper conduct are imparted. These are required for your spiritual growth and effective service for the Lord (1 Corinthians 14:40). 9) THE CHURCH IS A SOLUTION TO LIFE'S QUESTIONS: In the Epistles we see the Apostles sending letters to the churches to address questions that the brethren had. It hasn't changed. The church is uniquely equipped by the Holy Spirit to communicate wisdom from God for questions a Christain might have. Getting answers from the world is a dread end, since the wisdom of the world can't satisfactorily provide solutions to life's issues, because it's destined to fail (1Corinthians 2:6). 10) THE CHURCH IS A PLACE WHERE YOU CAN EXPERIENCE THE CORPERATE ANOINTING: As brethren dwell together in unity, the scriptures tell us in Psalm 133 that it provokes a corperate anointing that blesses everyone. The anointing is contagious and in the Church, by association, a Christain can do much more with other believers than he could by himself. 11) THE CHURCH IS A PLACE OF REFUGE, COMFORT AND REFRESHING: A Christain is guaranteed to receive encouragement and words of refreshing in church. This is often needed after the travails of the market-place of life. The church is a place where you can receive the undiluted truth, and learn new things that are progressively to your benefit. The church is a place of upliftment ,encouragement and refuge. No wonder Davidwas always delighted about being in church (Psalm 122:1, Psalm 27:4). . . - 4 Likes |
