Well that may be true but I am not on this website during worship time.

No offense and I dont want to start a negative spiritual debate but shouldnt every moment of every day be worship time for God? Well, thats impossible as we are human. Since we aren't perfect, the Superbowl parties across the nations churches are a good way for fellowship with your brothers in Christ and to lead others to salvation. Sitting alone in a room and a Bible might work with you, but outreach and the growth of God's Kingdom is the reason at which these parties held.

Yes if you have the time. But the Bible clearly says to remeber the sabbath and to keep it holy.

It would be nice to not have to work then I could dedidcate myself full time.

I have to disagree somewhat on this point when I think about the vulgar and borderline-indecent ads that are run during the show (obscene material aside). WHERE do you draw the line? I'm sure that, while the halftime show is a TIMED event (and can be 'offed' easily and without 'fear' of losing any of the game), no one is sitting there blipping-out each and every commercial that comes along.

Fellowship is necessary, outreach is commanded, but, at the cost of reputation? Superbowl shows have now proven themselves too big of a liability to sanction as a Church-sponsored event. You wanna do it at someone else's house? Fine; but it shouldn't be done in God's House. (this topic is the first item on the agendum for our next Congregational Meeting which is still 2 months away)
