“Considering early Christians worshipped and gathered as small groups often hiding from the authorities there is no indication of God preferring tha one go to the great church of the mega mall”
Those small groups were still one Church. And by the third century Christians were building churches for worship use even while still being persecuted by the Romans (just as Christians do in China today). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dura-Europos_church
The view that Christians do NOT have to come together to worship on the Lord’s day is a recent innovation. It has more to do with an air of rebellion and a false sense of autonomy than anything Christian.
