Why would you drive to a church parking lot to listen to a pastor on the radio?

Democrats don't understand church, God, Easter, worship, and faith. It is also beyond the scope of this thread for me to explain it.

In the Bible "the church" wasn't a building people gathered at. .

Yes and no.

"The church" is the INDIVIDUALS m the king up the Body of Christ

They are COMMANDED to ASSEMBLE regularly -- particularly on the Sabbath

When does the Bible command you to gather for the Sabbath?

'Six days shall work be done, but the seventh day is a Sabbath of solemn rest, a holy convocation (COMMANDED ASSEMBLY)

The term holy convocation is not in the Bible.....a day of rest....yes. Which does not mean you are required to attend church serevices...just means you are not supposed to do any work.

See, for that the LORD hath given you the sabbath, therefore he giveth you on the sixth day the bread of two days; abide ye every man in his place, let no man go out of his place on the seventh day.

And let us not neglect our meeting together, as some people do, but encourage one another, especially now that the day of his return is drawing near

That does not mean you are required to meet every Sunday

1. “I am the Lord thy God, thou shalt not have any strange gods before Me.”
   This commandment forbids idolatry, the worship of false gods and goddesses, and it excludes polytheism, the belief in many gods, insisting instead on monotheism, the belief in one God. This commandment forbids making golden calves, building temples to Isis, and worshipping statues of Caesar, for example.
2. “Thou shalt not take the name of the Lord thy God in vain.”
   
   The faithful are required to honor the name of God. It makes sense that if you’re to love God with all your heart, soul, mind, and strength, then you’re naturally to respect the name of God with equal passion and vigor.
3. “Remember to keep holy the Sabbath day.”
   The Jewish celebration of Sabbath (Shabbat) begins at sundown on Friday evening and lasts until sundown on Saturday. Catholic, Protestant, and Orthodox Christians go to church on Sunday, treating it as the Lord’s Day instead of Saturday to honor the day Christ rose from the dead.
4. “Honor thy father and mother.”
   This commandment obliges the faithful to show respect for their parents — as children and adults. Children must obey their parents, and adults must respect and see to the care of their parents, when they become old and infirm.
   
   
5. “Thou shalt not kill.”
   The better translation from the Hebrew would be “Thou shalt not murder” — a subtle distinction but an important one to the Church. Killing an innocent person is considered murder. Killing an unjust aggressor to preserve your own life is still killing, but it isn’t considered murder or immoral.
6. “Thou shalt not commit adultery.”
   The sixth and ninth commandments honor human sexuality. This commandment forbids the actual, physical act of having immoral sexual activity, specifically adultery, which is sex with someone else’s spouse or a spouse cheating on their partner. This commandment also includes fornication, which is sex between unmarried people, prostitution, pornography, homosexual activity, masturbation, group sex, rape, incest, pedophilia, bestiality, and necrophilia.
7. “Thou shalt not steal.”
   
   The seventh and tenth commandments focus on respecting and honoring the possessions of others. This commandment forbids the act of taking someone else’s property. The Catholic Church believes that this commandment also denounces cheating people of their money or property, depriving workers of their just wage, or not giving employers a full day’s work for a full day’s pay. Embezzlement, fraud, tax evasion, and vandalism are all considered extensions of violations of the Seventh Commandment.
8. “Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbor.”
   The Eighth Commandment condemns lying. Because God is regarded as the author of all truth, the Church believes that humans are obligated to honor the truth. The most obvious way to fulfill this commandment is not to lie — intentionally deceive another by speaking a falsehood. So a good Catholic is who you want to buy a used car from.
9. “Thou shalt not covet thy neighbor’s wife.”
   The Ninth Commandment forbids the intentional desire and longing for immoral sexuality. To sin in the heart, Jesus says, is to lust after a woman or a man in your heart with the desire and will to have immoral sex with them. Just as human life is a gift from God and needs to be respected, defended, and protected, so, too, is human sexuality. Catholicism regards human sexuality as a divine gift, so it’s considered sacred in the proper context — marriage.
   
   
10. “Thou shalt not covet thy neighbor’s goods.”
    The Tenth Commandment forbids the wanting to or taking someone else’s property. Along with the Seventh Commandment, this commandment condemns theft and the feelings of envy, greed, and jealousy in reaction to what other people have.

Where did I mention Sunday?

Catholics and others can do as they please.

The BIBLE and Jesus provide the example we're to follow. Not a man.

You have my permission to worship -- or not worship -- as you please.

A GOOL said the Scriptures do not COMMAND meeting together. I showed that it does.

Believe, or dont. That's between you and God.

No you are wrong....there is no scriptural commandment that anyone must attend services on any day of the week....which means friday for the muslims, saturday for jews and 7th day adventists and Sunday for most Christians ....protestant, catholic or Baptist.

Now your particular denomination(whatever that is) may require it....care to tell us what your denomination is?

I'm pretty sure God would frown upon you trying to rewrite the Bible in an attempt to win an online argument.

I QUOTED IT WORD FOR WORD.

You are of your father.

Cite the scripture.....chapter and verse.

It appears you are being dis-ingenuous

 

[Carl in Michigan]

It appears she is just posting her 'particular' church's ordinance ....certainly not a Biblical requirement to attend services every Sunday

I said SABBATH not Catholic Sunday.

And YES, it is COMMANDED. But follow your Pope. That's your business.

bwaaaaaaaaaaaaaa first of all i am not a woman.

I asked you to cite the chapter and verse in the Bible that dictates or says that anyone is required to attend a church , Temple or synagouge every week.

You are unable to do that...because such is not in the Holy Bible

Now you may claim it is a good idea....I would have no problem with that.

You may demonstrate it is your denominations belief....I would have no problem with that.

I do have a problem with anyone who claims something is in the Bible that is not in the Bible.

You must have misread what I said...I have no problem with them or anyone doing that.

In fact I would encourage any and all churches to do that if they insist on meeting on their Holy Day...be they Jews, Protestants, Catholics, Baptists or whoever.

 

[Carl in Michigan]

bwaaaaaaaaaaaaaa first of all i am not a woman

Me neither lady

 

[initforme]

O e does not need to attend worship to be a Christian. That much we know.

 

[Carl in Michigan]

are unable to do that...because such is not in the Holy Bible

I wont keep going round and round with you on this.

I gave you

1. The OT COMMAND to assemble
2. Jesus perfect example
3. The apostles COMMAND to assemble on the SABBATH

You ignore that and accuse me of not giving ANY proof.

Six days shall work be done, but on the seventh day is a Sabbath of solemn rest, a holy convocation

So He (Jesus) 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 to read

And let us not neglect our meeting together, as some people do, but encourage one another, especially now that the day of his return is drawing near.

 

[MacTheKnife]

O e does not need to attend worship to be a Christian. That much we know.

Exactly....nor does Judaism require that.

The poster in trouble must beling to some obscure congregtion that interpets the Bible in their own special way.

I have gotten into a similar argument on another thread..........these folks that believe it is required get quite fanatical when someone points out that it is not a Biblical requirement.

However....they can interpret the Bible in any manner they choose.....as far as I am concerned....just not to the point where they may endanger others by practicing their particular religion.

They want to make it an issue of freedom of religion or freedom of assembly.

That simply will not fly.....many of us who do not think folks should gather together in these times have fought and died to protect our rights such as freedom of relilgion and or freedom of assembly.

The essence of this argument is really not about freedom of religion or freedom of assembly....it is in essence about common sense and stupidity.

They seem incapable of understanding these measures taken to prevent congregating together are just temporary measures taken to try and defeat the chinese virus.

It's not a hard and fast commandment of any sort. Assemble online. Don't do it in person and threaten your neighbors, the ones we are supposed to love.

Go FUCK YOURSELF

What you are giving us is your understanding of the Bible...you cannot give us chapter and verse because such is not in the Bible.

Yes...it is a good thing for Christians to assemble every Sunday or whatever day of the week they may recognize as their Holy Day.

Yes...Jesus is a good example for a lot of things...though he never said ...Thou shalt assemble together every week or any words to that effect.

If the apostles commanded believers to assemble 'EVERY' Sabbath I am not aware of it...and you have provided no verse to that effect.

Yet is a good thing for believers to assemble on the Sabbath...again however...I see no requirement to do that every sabbath.

Thus to claim you are required to attend services once a week every week by the Holy Scriptures or any of the personalities in the Holy Scriptures is invalid.

Again........even still I have no problem with you believing that.

However I do have a problem with believers attending services in a building jammed together and unable to practice the recommended 'distancing' to prevent the spread of the chinese virus.

 

[MacTheKnife]

Pro life goes on way way way past birth unless one is a hypocrite.

Well, they try and get around that by claiming the whole virus thing is a hoax....and it might be to a certain extent....which matters not really as far as us taking measures to try and prevent the spread of the virus.

It is just common sense....by practicing social distancing you are helping prevent the spread of disease. But even if it does not help...it is a good faith matter... and should be followed by all.

Even if the virus does not exist....no one is being harmed by social distancing...the Church will still be there after the threat of the virus has disappeared.

But those who insist they must attend services every week irregardless ....will have blood on their hands if some of the members get sick and die as a result of their meeting together not even to mention the possibility of them catching the virus at church and spreading it to the general public after they leave church.

Not on the sabbath but it does command you to go to church:

Hebrews 10:25
Let us not give up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but let us encourage one another—and all the more as you see the Day approaching.
