Correct me if I’m wrong, but didn’t your post get pulled the last time you tried this end run tack?
I am correcting you because you are wrong.
I have never had a post pulled fir asking a question about protestants who stay home on Sunday and ‘church themselves’.
The notion that a faithful protestant does not need to attend church has been brought up time after time.
My question is: when ghey do not go to any established church on Sunday and stay home and ‘church themselves’ who would they tithe to??
Anyone?

What you apparently fail to see is the distinction between the fact that Chrisitians don’t need to go to church because they aren’t being told that it’s a sin if they don’t, and what they actually do.
Apparently the only motivating factor in church attendance for Catholics is the threat of hellfire.
Not attending church is not a sin for most non-Catholics. At least, it’s not labeled or listed as a sin in Scripture.
So guess what?
Christians go to church casue they WANT to.
Can you imagine that? They aren’t attending simply because of the threat of losing their salvation.
This falls into the same category as the question recently asked that if Christians have assurance of their salvation, why do they pray or obey the Ten Commandments.
Obviously Catholics can see no other motivating factor that threats to get the desired behavior put of them by the church, and if the RCC didn’t threaten them with hell, they wouldn’t do any of those things either.
What a sad religion it is that coerces desired behavior out of those who follow it.
