“Where does the bible say we are to collect in a building with many others while being lead by clergy?”

I know you don’t mean it is bad to attend Church. We follow
Our Lord’s example, He kept the Sabbath. He went to worship
God in the Temple...in community. Judaism, the roots of
the faith were liturgical.
In the New Covenant, the Sabbath is changed to the Lord’s
Day in honor of Our Lord’s resurrection. Worshiping God
on Sunday is not a private thing, say a “home church.”
Unless, I am not sure, sadly, it’s another split, somebody starting up another Protestant community. To me, it’s an
excuse not to go to Church. There are already plenty of
Protestant churches everywhere. Church comes from the
word “assembly.”
Sharing the verse about Our Lord:
Luke 4:16
And he came to Nazareth, where he was brought up: and he went into the synagogue, according to his custom, on the sabbath day; and he rose up to read.
No, it wasn't.
Not in any bible I've ever read...the 7th day (not the first) was created holy: Gen 2:2 And on the seventh day God ended His work which He had done, and He rested on the seventh day from all His work which He had done.
Gen 2:3 Then God blessed the seventh day and sanctified it, because in it He rested from all His work which God had created and made.
He never changed this and never did this for the 1st day of the week...
