Yes

Just like me.

I believe in supernatural power but I don't believe I need a religion and it serves me right

This question has been bothering me for a while, so I had to bring it here. I'm a Christian, I believe in God and I worship him. But sometimes, I really do not like the church practices.

The going to church, singing, paying and all does not just sit right with my soul. It's like I'm being stressed to do something against my will.. My church is not even helping matters with the way they plant fears in some of us hearts...

I just want to sit down in my room, and privately talk to God in prayers whenever I feel like, and read my bible anytime without going to meet a pastor or going to church anymore..

Will I be making a big mistake with this decision I'm about to make?? Or I'm doing the right thing?
What you need to do my dear brother (as a Christian) is to sit with the word of God and learn who this God you serve actually is.As you do so daily, say a very brief prayer for divine wisdom and understanding and May the Holy Spirit continue to guide you to God's place of peace, rest and unshakable confidence in this temporary and troubled world, in Jesus' name, Amen

Personal relationshp with God mst important
We are each a part of the body of christ, and we must all seek God first, bt imagind if the eyes says it does nt need the hand or anytin like that
We all need personal and also corporate
What you really need is all time communicating wit the holy spirit for God will for ur life and the church that is line with his will for ur life
The problem wit religion is when we leave God will out of it, God told abraham to kil his son, imagine if he had gotten out of connection witg God or like pple these days, God wil send them to mountain of fire to learn smting and they just go stop there and reduce seeking for his will that when his next for them to maybe move to christ embassy they are nt aligned to hear frm him
As many as are lead by the spirit of God, they are the sons of God
Re: ... by Plut01: 9:37pm On Sep 06, 2020
Yes
You are on the pathway to Deism, which is a good thing.
Your mind is yearning for direct connection with your creator and becoming a Deist would do.

After all, Religion=Scam, spirituality=Legit something cheesy
Re: ... by Nobody: 9:52pm On Sep 06, 2020
Jesus is the word of God made flesh cos he was born by the spirit and always had that spirit of God in him
That shows we need the word with the holy spirit, apostle paul was u can say obeying the word of God when he was killing christians just like abraham when God told him to kil his son, bt the diff is abraham was open to hear frm the spirit of Gnd bt paul had knwledge of the word only, never sought God for his will
They man is the acts of apostle that ministerd to man ethiopian eunuch, he was obeying the word of God that we shld evangelise, bt imagine if he was nt connected with the holy spirit to specifically minister to the ethiopian, ethiopia country of this present day might nt have any christian at all
We must obey the word, but continually seek to be led by the spirit of christ

According to the Bible you can't be God's friend without associating with his people to worship him!

Learn from the story of Job, Satan has become a rebellious angel but whenever other loyal angels wants to worship God Satan will join them {Job 1:6} so do not be deceived isolating or distancing yourself from the gathering of other worshipers will be worst than what you're seeing now! Matthew 12:43-45
The purpose of meeting together is not ordinary, God established it both in heaven and on earth, all his faithful worshipers must assemble before him to be ©instructed regarding sacred service ©encourage one another to continue standing firm for righteousness ©share experiences on how things is going in the world around us! Hebrew 10:24-25
The Bible is not a textbook nor storybook, it's full of sacred secrets that needed to be fully understood, God has chosen some people to TEACH others what is in that book so no matter how much you try you can't grasp it on your own without associating with the chosen ones! Daniel 12:10
The problem in the world today regarding pure worship started immediately after God's holy spirit chose Jesus' first century Jewish followers as his mouthpiece {Joel 2:28; Act 2:16-18} Satan quickly infused his own agents in their midst {1John 2:18 compare to Matthew 13:24-30} but Jesus promised a time when angels will come to separate false religionsists from the midst of true Christians, they will gather the false in GROUPS and the true Christians also into a GROUP Jesus said by their FRUIT you will distinguish his own out of all other false GROUPS ! Matthew 7:15-20
Now is that time! True Christianity has been separated from falsehood today, they are known globally as "JEHOVAH'S WITNESSES" of course their activities will irritate most people because they are no part of Satan's world of false religionsists {John 17:14} but the have LOVE {John 13:34-35} JOY {Luke 10:17} and PEACE {John 14:27} in their midst. They don't extort people because all of them have WORK to feed their families so their is no lazy class referred to as Pastors milking the pockets of members in their midst! Matthew 23:23
If you want to know more about pure worship, Jehovah's Witnesses are ready to help you out, Jesus has sent them to come and TEACH you in the comfort of your own home, all you need is to make yourself available at a time that's convenient for you, and be rest assured that God is watching how you show love for his name, his angels will pen down your name in the book of life {Revelations 20:15} while you're discussing with his servants! Malachi 3:16

God bless you! smiley

What church practice. Is it scriptural practice ,doctrines or human relational conducts.? Demons don't like worship and flesh doesn't like prayer for example . The fact that you don't like a practice doesn't make it wrong. You may be the one who need help or knowledge .

The going to church. . .

You see am?

Hebrews 10:25
Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is. .


singing. . .

Ha! shocked

Colossians 3:16
. . .admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord


. . . paying and all does not just sit right with my soul.

Is scriptural to give nah . And if you no wan give nobody put Gun on your head

2 Corinthians 9:7
Every man according as he purposeth in his heart, so let him give; not grudgingly, or of necessity: for God loveth a cheerful giver.


It's like I'm being stressed to do something against my will..

Na lie nah. Is it everyone that gives?

I just want to sit down in my room, and privately talk to God in prayers whenever I feel like, and read my bible anytime without going to meet a pastor or going to church anymore..

If you're truly born again you will love the brethren and fellowship

Ephesians 1:15
Wherefore I also, after I heard of your faith in the Lord Jesus, and love unto all the saints,

1 John 1:7
But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin


Will I be making a big mistake with this decision I'm about to make?? Or I'm doing the right thing?

The scriptures above should be enough for you . And if they are not ,its either yourr not yet born again or youre experiencing a demonic attack. There is a joy of salvation, if you have no pleasure in spiritual things . It's an attack or the individual is not yet saved
