Not for the Christian who views it as a way of life and not 45 minutes to an hour on Sundays.
As I stated before, worship both scripturally and historically had little to nothing to do with singing and sitting to hear a man preach. It does have to do with living a life that is pleasing to the Lord and doing everything as unto the Lord.
That, my friend, is worship according to Scripture.
A2J,
Did you miss my post which answered your earlier questions? Because you seem to keep repeating the same anti-church talking points without taking anything that you're being told into account. I'll re-post it for your convenience:
>>Chapter and verse, please. From the bible. You sound just like the Pharisees.<<
- Exodus 20:8 (on the sanctity of the Sabbath)
- Neh 13:15-22 (on the sanctity of the Sabbath)
- Is 58:13 (on keeping the Sabbath holy)
- 1 Cor 16:1-2 (On meeting in fellowship the first day of the week - the new Sabbath day as recognized by Christ's resurrection)
- Acts 20:7 (Gathering in prayer and communion on the first day of the week)
- Rev 1:10 (the Lord's Day being the first day of the week)
- Acts 2:42 (on the importance of meeting together)
- Heb 10:25 (In not forsaking the fellowship)
>>Christians worship every day because worship is not something you do but something that you live...just like eating or drinking which is not bound by certain days or times.<<
I understand that. You must have missed the part of my post wherein I said that a Christian is to worship the Lord privately, and/or as a family every day. However, the Lord's Day, Sunday, is set apart and sanctified for the gathering of the fellowship to worship God corporately.
>>Biblical/historical worship has little to nothing to do with song or being with others but how we live our lives as to whether we please Him or not.<<
Again, then Paul's letters to Timothy on church structure, offices, and order must be hereby null and void, since their not important, right?
To the contrary, public worship, teaching, and exhortation is commanded.
1 Tim 4:13; 2 Tim 4:2; Col 3:16; Eph 5:19
If you were to have your way, there would have been no need for any of the epistles on the subject of corporate worship or church government
If I may, I'd like to ask you a question:
Why do you seem so bent on ignoring and/or downgrading the importance of corporate worship? Did you have a bad church experience, and that is what has jaded you from fellowship with the saints?
The Bible is very clear on the importance of corporate worship, prayer, and teaching, as I have shown in the above verses. Where are your verses which state that corporate worship, prayer, and teaching are not important?
Certainly true.
However, there is still an appointed day set apart for that.
It does not mean we aren't to live every moment though worshipping God.
