All About GOD - Growing Relationships with Jesus and Others
WHAT DO THE WORD CHURCH MEAN TO YOU,AND DO YOU FEEL CHRISTIAN SITES IS A CHRUCH
A New and Living Way
19Therefore, brethren, since we have confidence to enter the holy place by the blood of Jesus, 20by a new and living way which He inaugurated for us through the veil, that is, His flesh, 21and since we have a great priest over the house of God, 22let us draw near with a sincere heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled clean from an evil conscience and our bodies washed with pure water. 23Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for He who promised is faithful; 24and let us consider how to stimulate one another to love and good deeds, 25not forsaking our own assembling together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another; and all the more as you see the day drawing near. THE REASON I'M STARTING THIS DISCUSSION IS BECAUSE OF THIS POST
Top 5 Lies People Believe About Christians AND THE FIRST ONE WAS
1. Church is not necessary.
"In other words, it’s okay to be a lone Christian. I was a lone Christian for many years. I knew no differently and I honestly didn’t know any better. Somehow in my daily reading of scripture, all the talk of the body, and fellowship just flew right past me.
The saddest thing is that it was my lack of accountability and relationship that pushed me to my furthest point away from God. I would wake up every morning and feel hopeless and alone".
So please help your brother out ,I personal feel and believe in the words of our Heavenly Father and the Scriptures that jump out at me is
Matthew 18 >>
New American Standard Bible
Discipline and Prayer
15“If your brother sins, go and show him his fault in private; if he listens to you, you have won your brother. 16“But if he does not listen to you, take one or two more with you, so that BY THE MOUTH OF TWO OR THREE WITNESSES EVERY FACT MAY BE CONFIRMED. 17“If he refuses to listen to them, tell it to the church; and if he refuses to listen even to the church, let him be to you as a Gentile and a tax collector. 18“Truly I say to you, whatever you bind on earth shall have been bound in heaven; and whatever you loose on earth shall have been loosed in heaven.
19“Again I say to you, that if two of you agree on earth about anything that they may ask, it shall be done for them by My Father who is in heaven. 20“For where two or three have gathered together in My name, I am there in their midst.” Jesus is talking here and the word CHURCH here is not the building so please help me is they talking about the building or is they talking about the assembling of believe together ,wherever they decide to come together in the POST ,I stated Hebrews 10:19-25 because that what most Christians base their reasons that you must GO to a building that is label as a CHURCH, LOVE TO EVERYONE

Amen Alcedes
We are the Church. Where ever we go, as we purpose our day to serve the Lord. Matt 18:20 "For where two or three are assembled in My Name, there am I in the midst of them.” So Blessed to know that we come in His Name, He is there to back up His Name. I am Blessed to know He cares that much for us and His Name. Shows Power in His Name.
It is good to meet like this, and face to face. As we decide to lift up His Name, speak words of encouragement to one another, Pray for each other. When we can lay hands on the sick. Benefits and draw backs to both. The important part is Praising the Lord.

Sis Nancy, I do agree with you about contact and fellowship because we are able to see and meet people we interact with physically and experience the glory of God in each other. Thank you sister. Such fellowships bring us face to face with our individual struggles towards growth. Be blessed!

Thank you my brother and I just love that idea because that way we can really show the love that our Heavenly Father want us to show to one another through our action and not just through our words

Martyp ,we serve such an awesome Heavenly Father ,I pray and thank him daily for the goodness that he is doing in our lives even in the time of our trials ,for his words are true and he is faithful to all of his promise
Our Father who art in heaven, hallowed be Thy name, Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven, give us this day our daily bread and forgive us our sins as we forgive those who sin against us and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us
From evil, for Thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory, now and forever.

We are the temple of GOD, our heart must be clean and so thus our thoughts because the two goes together. The church is not the big structure or sort of Basilica because HE lives in us. But, though Christian site is not really a safe place for our heart and soul to become mature in our raltionship with HIM, but it helps and for me I still read and prefer the bible. GOD BLESS EVERYONE !

44“Our fathers had the tabernacle of testimony in the wilderness, just as He who spoke to Moses directed him to make it according to the pattern which he had seen. 45“And having received it in their turn, our fathers brought it in with Joshua upon dispossessing the nations whom God drove out before our fathers, until the time of David. 46“David found favor in God’s sight, and asked that he might find a dwelling place for the God of Jacob. 47“But it was Solomon who built a house for Him. 48“However, the Most High does not dwell in houses made by humanhands; as the prophet says:
49‘HEAVEN IS MY THRONE,
AND EARTH IS THE FOOTSTOOL OF MY FEET;
WHAT KIND OF HOUSE WILL YOU BUILD FOR ME?’ says the Lord,
‘OR WHAT PLACE IS THERE FOR MY REPOSE?50‘WAS IT NOT MY HAND WHICH MADE ALL THESE THINGS?’ THIS IS FROM Stephen defence in Acts 7 ,and we are the dwelling of GOD now ,so we can fellowship anywhere as long as he is the focus
