believing and knowing that he is there, and then pay attention to a person who wrote his sermon a week ago, if he didn't buy it from another 'preacher'?

Even though I am not a Christian I do know a few preachers who live their lives to serve the people who visit them on Sunday.
Think of them as well trained attorneys for God.
I am not saying what they teach is true any more than the attorneys client is innocent, but if they are professional they will do their job of expressing the word in a way that will teach you something about Jesus and life, even if the sermon was purchased.
The entire Bible and New Testament are constantly being plagiarized, modified and interpreted in self serving ways so, as with anything else in life, filter the information and use what works in your life....toss the rest.
Be happy!

exactly why I am primitive baptist....our preachers don't write sermons.....our old pastor used to tell us a story about the time he focused all week on his sermon and had it all written out with notes and everything......on the way to church he saw a major car accident happen right in front of them.........needless to say he completely lost his train of thought by the time he was done helping the victims and got to church late.

We have people preach to us to help us understand the Bible, it matters not whether he wrote it or got it from someone else as long as it's biblically sound.
We gather with other believers in Jesus' name to complete the cross. We have communion and fellowship with God and then with have this with other believers. God being the vertical line of the cross and other believers being the horizontal line of the cross. T
Try it, you might like it. Don't question the small stuff, read for yourself on the big stuff. Ask God for guidance.

No, the spirit of God working in the preachers life reveals new messages for the flock, for there growth. From a living God and his spirit in acts 2 at Pentecost! To be born again! New.

Any where two or more people are gathered in my name.
It can be any where . And a ordainded Preacher does not have to be present or give out prewritten serons. they come from the soul.

Why couldn't they? I would hope that a person with a sermon had prepared it in advance, I really don't see the problem with this.

The point of Church is to edify and encourage one another, as well as worship Him.
Once again, stop using situations completely out of context.

I don't see your point to all these questions. Christians can do just like everyone else. You're taking things way to literally. Loosen up a little.

Thats not real christian that is fake. Jesus is everywhere and anywhere. When your parents die or you die you must know He is still there. Heaven and earth will passed away but HE remains.
