It has been said by many, that they, "go to church." Many others go further to say, that they, "go to church regularly." The book of Hosea is clear and without question on this one point. The 6th verse of the forth chapter tells us plainly: "my people are destroyed for lack of knowledge." In other words, what you don't know can hurt you. Those among us who, "go to church," might be a little confused about what the church really is. When you go to church, it is usually to join it. With that as an end, it would follow that those going to it, do not belong to it yet. If you do belong to it, there is no reason to go to it. We the body of Christ, are the church. It, (the church), is therefore, always present wherever we are. We don't go to the church, we bring the church with us. We should always be mindful of the fact that, the building is not the church. Our assembly is for fellowship and worship. We come together to teach and to learn, from each other.

NO! I do my church every Saturday!
"Ye worship ye know not what; we know what we worship: for salvation is of the Jews." John 4:22
Notice Jesus was saying that we should worship Saturday like the Jews.
Have you ever looked up Sabbath in the:
Encyclopaedia Americana, vol.24, pp.68-69; it tells you it's Saturday.
Look in Hebrews 3:18-19; 4:1-11 (Jesus didn't change the day to Sunday and the resurrection wasn't Sunday either--2Tim.2:18).
Look in Heb.10:26.
Look in 2Peter 2:21.
Now look at Rev.14:7; doesn't that go back to the 4th Commandment?
Now let's see if the Catholics know when the seventh day is.
"Ques.--Which is the Sabbath day?
"Ans.--Saturday is the Sabbath day.
"Ques.--Why do we observe Sunday instead of Saturday?
"Ans.--We observe Sunday instead of Saturday because the Catholic Church transferred the solemnity from Saturday to Sunday."--Peter Geiermann, The Convert's Catechism of Catholic Doctrine (1946 ed.), p.50. Geiermann received the "apostolic blessing" of Pope Pius x on his labors, Jan.25,1910. [bible readings pg.194]
Dan.7:25 "he shall think to change times and laws"

Every weekend I'm home I go to Mass.It probably comes to about 45 or 46 Mass's when you count the Holy days of obligation
I feel guilty about missing any Mass,but just don't like to go to a strange Parrish.

Yes I do :) I don't think I've missed one since I became a Christian. If I have it was because there was absolutely no way to go.
I don't do it because I have to, but because I want to. It is my way of honoring God. I want to be sure that meeting with him publicly at least once a week is a high priority. It helps that my husband and I are on the same page about this.

Yes, the only occasion I sometimes don't is when I'm on the road. I don't mind going to different churches when on vacation. I love to feel Gods presence.

no. i have bible study every other sat night.
my last church threw us out. didn't like what my family and i had to say to the other members. i think we needed the wake up call. never been as in tune to what God has to say.
it's working quite well. not too poluted with other people's opinions. we read it straight from the bible. an old bible if i need to see how it was supposed to be written.
anti church - pro God. no church for me

No. You couldn't pay me enough to go...okay, well, maybe you could. Actually about $25 a week would do it. But I wouldn't go for any less than that.
