No, it isn't bad. It's perfectly normal. There are lots of better ways to spend your time. Instead of sitting around rubbing elbows with you hands clinched together, do something constructive.

nope, it's not bad. you probably haven't found the right church yet. everything you do is an act of worship in one way or another. For example, my responding to your question is an act of worship to God...I'm trying to glorify him and is awesomeness...but at church i get to worship in song, which i love. but church is important. the Bible is clear that the church has a purpose. No man is an island! you need the fellowship, edification, discipleship, ministry, missions...etc Church has a point...not just worship. hope that helps!

Every christian needs fellowship to grow or help someone else grow in faith.

The church is a place where we get together to praise God and pray for our own needs or others` needs.Which other place would you get to do that?

Of course you can worship anywhere and at any time you please but where would you get to worship as Christ`s BODY?

Jesus went to the Synagogue every Sabbath day....if he needed fellowship and the needed to hear and learn from God`s word..then how much do you and I?

A word of caution: Do not depend on your feelings...(I do not FEEL like going to church)

For me church is so much fun..I long to go to church every week.You need a good church to belong to.Ask God to show you one.

God bless.

lol.. depends on what you mean by "Church." If by that, you mean going to a certain physical building and singing along with organ music and listening to a preacher, then I tend to agree. If you mean never gathering together with other Christians to worship and pray, learn about God, and build each other up, then I'd have to disagree because that's what the church is supposed to be according to the Bible--a gathering of people.

I don't feel that it is bad. Church is more for support. You don't necessarily need to go to church to worship and such. If you don't care for going to church that probably just means that it doesn't keep your interest. If you feel that you can continue on with your religion without attending church then that is not a problem. My grandma is a very strong christian, but she is disabled and unable to attend church and has been for years, she has a bible study at her house with her friends once a week for support and feedback and such. Good luck!

Before you do anything you should know what you want to know? meaning If you go to church to learn about God and his son then what do you know?
I think that first you should ask questions? Like who is God? Who is Jesus? what is Hell? what is Heaven? Is your soul immortal? What happens to us when we die?
The Bible answers these questions and many more if you look?
For example what happens to us when we die?
Read Eccl 9:5,10, Eccl 3:19,
The only thing that would be bad? is having a chance of living forever and missing out on it? That's why learning what God requires of us is so important. If you want questions answered then ask? Where would you like to live? Try reading Psalms 37:9-11,29 and see what Jesus said at Mathew 5:5 gemhandy@hotmail.com

From what I remember, Jesus told us our "church" is inside us all. It's the Church that wants your money that insists that you go regularily.

Go outside and look up at the sky. There's the biggest church you could ever attend!

Are we talking about Christianity? In particular Protestantism?

The Christian bible is the source. I assumed you have read it.

1 Cor 10:23-24 is the requirements.

Not going to church saves you a lot of trouble - especially traditional gossiping that is characteristic of organised worship (i.e. churches)!

I don't think so.You should be able to worship anywhere, and not specifically at a church with a set schedule.
