(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.

All I'm saying is you don't have to gather ceremoniously in a building of brick and stone...:o)

Thank you for getting muddy for the rest of us.

I'm not quite understanding what Steve Jobs’ political views have to do with his decision to not be a pawn in the billion dollar ‘use other peoples’ daughters for their own gratification’ industry. Where is the freedom for the women being used? Never heard of anyone getting arrested for having iphone apps on their computer.
