Take A Break One Day A Week !
I’m not aware of any commandment to attend church. All the bible says is to keep holy the sabbath day. Where does the bible say we are to collect in a building with many others while being lead by clergy?
I’m not saying attending church is a bad thing. I’m asking the question, for those who worship God at home on their own, where in the bible are we directed to collect in a building with others and lead in prayer and worship by clergy?
I must have missed that passage in Matthew or John.
Or the Lord’s Day — the day he rose from the dead — Sunday.
Exactly which day of the week is “the Sabbath” - as described in the Bible.
I try to set aside at least an hour or so every Saturday to study and contemplate that week’s Torah and Haftorah sections. And somewhat less occasionally, I’ll go to synagogue. Then sometimes on Sundays, I’ll spend a little time with the New Testament for Biblical knowledge’s sake...but I really don’t like Paul, at all.
Mar 2:27 And he said unto them, The sabbath was made for man, and not man for the sabbath:
Col 2:16 Let no man therefore judge you in meat, or in drink, or in respect of an holyday, or of the new moon, or of the sabbath [days]:
Heb 4:9-10 “There remains, then, a Sabbath-rest for the people of God; for anyone who enters God’s rest also rests from his own work, just as God did from his”
Jesus is our sabbath rest
The Michael Brown article at Spiritdaily is correct.
God warns and warns. Sometimes He sends Our Lady to warn.
America is not heading His warnings even now as they are
increasing. Who gives God one day a week, actually goes to Church? The vile in the movies and electronics, no purity in the children, we have two pro-abort, pro-sodomite candidates running for the highest office in the land.
A major judgment is coming and soon. It’s over 40 years now, a biblical amount of time.
As usual, none of my five siblings or their families go to Holy Mass on Sunday. A Commandment is a Commandment, in the New Covenant assembling to worship God on Sunday is divine law. Does anyone else have family who skip Church on Sunday? Our nation is going further and further away from God. Are we seeing the beginning of God’s just judgment?
I do try to rest on the sabbath though as resting on the seventh day is what God commanded.
Chapter and verse, please. Because there's not one verse in Scripture to support that statement.
If it's divine decree, or so important, one would think that God would have bothered to put it in the Bible.
Or since the RCC thinks it's so important, why did THEY leave it out?
Why don’t you leave it in God’s hands to judge?
These days, not very many Catholics go to Mass on Sunday and even less, non-Catholic Christians attend Church on Sunday, instead, people go shopping and to the stadiums to worship sports.
A few years BEFORE Our Lady appeared at La Salette, Jesus
spoke of the same grave sin (sins).
God’s just judgment on our country has begun, we’re seeing it.

It was on August 26, 1843 — that Sister Mary, the mystic in Tours, who had grown up in a devout family, and had early brushes with death, received a similar revelation when there was a “terrible storm during which I felt the Justice of an angry God as I had never before felt it in my life.
Kneeling, so that my forehead touched the ground, I ceaselessly offered our Savior, Jesus Christ, to His Eternal Father, for the expiation of my sins and for the needs of the Holy Church. I spoke to Him about the incident of the storm. I asked Him to tell me the reason why I felt so strongly on that day the roused anger of His Eternal Father.
“My Name is everywhere blasphemed,” Jesus allegedly responded, showing her that such misuse of His Name nullified His redemption and cursed Him to His Face. “There are even children who blaspheme!” the sister heard in locution.
...Two weeks after the aforementioned revelation, Sister Mary said the Lord “seized possession of the powers of my soul” and caused her to hear the following words: “The whole Earth is covered with crimes and the violation of the FIRST THREE of the Ten Commandments of God has aroused the anger of My Father. The crimes that fill up the cup of wickedness are blasphemies against God’s Holy Name and the profanation of Sundays. These sins have reached the very Throne of Almighty God, and they have provoked His wrath which is about to strike everywhere unless His Justice be appeased. Never before have these crimes reached such a peak.”
