Technically, you are correct. However, anyone who claims to be a Christian but doesn't attend regular worship services and relish spending time with other Christians needs to carefully examine him or herself in light of God's Word. It is not some legalistic requirement but the proper response of the joyful heart of one who is truly saved by the blood of Jesus Christ. It's not that we have to attend but that we really want to attend because God has replaced our hearts of stone with a heart of flesh.
Obviously, I'm not God* but every person who I have heard make such a statement about being a Christian but not needing to attend church has provided lots of other reasons to question their profession.
* Since this is a Mormon thread, let me point that I will never become a god nor will any other human being.
1(A Psalm of Asaph.) God standeth in the congregation of the mighty; he judgeth among the gods.
2 How long will ye judge unjustly, and accept the persons of the wicked? Selah.
3Defend the poor and fatherless: do justice to the afflicted and needy.
4 Deliver the poor and needy: rid them out of the hand of the wicked.
5 They know not, neither will they understand; they walk on in darkness: all the foundations of the earth are out of course.
6 I have said, Ye are gods; and all of you are children of the most High.
7 But ye shall die like men, and fall like one of the princes.8Arise, O God, judge the earth: for thou shalt inherit all nations.
I think this is an easter thread.
It is an easter thread but more specifically it is a mormon bashing thread expressly bashing mormons for not celebrating easter vigorously enough. I find such a thread pathetic given that there are numerous other christian religions which do not celebrate easter at all. Worse than patheic...I find it despicable that an ardent easter practitioner would choose easter sunday to NOT rejoice in the celebration of easter, but instead use his/her self proclaimed self righteous superiority to bash someone else’s style of easter celebration. Such people are not righteous or pious and are not christian. In short hey disgust me. Unfortunately for me, such people are likely to become increasing disgusting the closer romney gets to winning. I would advise these people to take a good long hard look at their own christianity before denouncing others as un-christian. Especially on easter sunday. You people may think you are ONLY insulting mormons with this and, that it is OK to do so because of your hatred for romney, but you are sadly mistaken. You are insulting many other kinds of christianity with your stupidity and you are making fools of yourselves in the process.
