Church is most of the time not a good way to worship

[enriquecuador]

Many times in the bible is it demonstrated that you don’t need a church to worship.

The Catholic Church especially has always tried to scam people and take more than they need and spread false information, I’m sure there are some good churches, but really what is the point when you can pray by yourself? Also with the whole pope as a false idol, it just feels weird and very cult like.

I’m also sick of catholics and orthodox and others arguing that one is the “true” religion. The truth is, if you are following Jesus Christ’s teachings according to the bible then you will join him in heaven. How is that a hard concept?

I’m not hating on you if you go to church, if it helps you worship then that’s fine. I’m just mainly curious why you feel a need to go to church?

people go to church so they can get a community built around their religious beliefs

Can’t really argue with that in theory

It’s a bit weird having a pastor however? Especially as you don’t know if he truly believes in God

Well if I was Christian and wanted to be surrounded by other Christian’s I’d go to church

the pastor is the leading/guiding figure, not everyone wants to be fully independent or equally in control for all situations

The saints make it clear. Church is ideal church is what god wants you to go for the body of Christ is whole and opening church your are closest to god for he dwells most within his church his domain church is literally partaking in the eternal transcendent worship that is happening simultaneously throughout space & time in heaven

What many people don’t realise is that you don’t HAVE to go church if your Christian however if you love god then you will go to church it’s very simple. Each denomination does things differently though. I found Protestant churches to not be for me but the Orthodox Church is amazing. Another thing no church no Eucharist no confession, you miss out on crucial sacraments not going. My mum doesn’t go to church herself and neither did I for over a decade but yes church is necessary

I won’t even bother debunking the whole rediculous asinine “Lowest commmon denominator Christianity” meme I mean we can’t all be right so clearly the differences matter, the choice is yours you can believe and do what you want but there exists a debate longer than your entire silly prottie cult existed in this topic for a reason because it’s very fucking important. Anyways

Catholic Church is a pagan idolatrous cult.

You know, I tried to go to an Orthodox Church before but none of them spoke any English. Only Greek or Coptic.

The fact that in history churches have scammed and lied to people about practices and teachings really makes me feel conflicted emotions about whether going is worth it. The fact is that Jesus never said anything about churches. In the past when people couldn’t read/had no access to Bibles it would have been better.

Try Antiochian. They do the language of the land they see in

Probably the most noob friendly jurisdiction. I myself am Antiochian just google for one of them and you’ll get your English speaking one. I prefer the Greek Hyms though personally so I like going the Greek church

Oh and coptics are oriental Orthodox. Antiochian, Greeks Russians etc are Eastern Orthodox, so yes there’s a difference between the two we are different denominations like RCatholics

Are you stupid? Have you read Matthew 16? “And you Peter on you I build the rock of my church” have you not read 1 Peter 3:15? “the church is the pillar and foundation of truth”

The fact is the people who wrote the Bible the ones who compiled the cannon all made it very clear church is essential to Christian life. You take a book you do not understand or even know and claim to follow it better than those who gave you the book and told you who wrote the book do you now see why Protestants are looked at as the retarded step child of the Christian world

Standing in church listening to the prayer couldn’t imagine anything worse
