This is Steve Jobs we are talking about. He's probably not graced the inside of a church for decades. (Hebrews 10:25) "not forsaking the gathering of ourselves together, as some have the custom, but encouraging one another, and all the more so as YOU behold the day drawing near". Very common for some to twist this scripture to say yes it's a sin not to go to church. I can fellowship with Christians without going to church. Church is a man made institution. I'm not saying it's unprofitable BUT is is NOT a sin to not go ...

Well, I guess the important point to take away from this scripture is whether or not you are going to do things that please the Lord.
If you love God, you will.
Even if it is not declared a Sin you to not gather together with other Christians.
The Apostles stressed this in the New Testament, because of the positive benefits of Christians meeting together and counseling each other.
So if we choose not to do this, we are actually harming ourselves and probably limiting our walk with God.
