Subject: Joe has a point...

Hey,
Joe, my fault. You are absolutely right, God is everywhere after all. And he certainly does bless us, regardless as to whether or not we go to church. I mean, the unbeliever living next door gets just as much rain as you do.
It just seemed a little odd to me. I mean, you wouldn't have been late had you left another 2 hours later.
I'm not trying to say you don't have a point Joe. I'm not saying that at all. Your point does beg the question though...do we not receive any benefits from church? I mean, if God is with us all the time, and is everywhere, and doesn't decide to ignore us if we go to church...then why do we bother going? Why not go golfing instead of church, and know that God will bless our game because he won't decide to "ignore" because we're golfing on a Sunday morning? Or why don't we go fishing?
All I'm saying is...the Lord tells us that worship is important. He tells us "not to give up meeting together, just as some are in the habit of doing." He tells us to "remember the Sabbath day and keep it Holy." He tells us to worship Him. This one and only God, the same guy that died on the cross for my sins, and for yours, and everyone elses, commands these things. Why then do we blantantly ignore them when it is certainly within our power to obey them?
I guess that's where I'm coming from.
Like I say, it's not that you don't have a point. I just find it to be a weak one.

Hi, i just wanted to say that i was really intriqued and more importantly interested in your discussion about sunday church. You both have very good points and i sort of wish you both would have replied more to it. Debates are good...discussions, whatever you want to call it. It makes me wonder a lot more about what i think dealing with the topic and makes me almost want to discuss, but i find myself in a place where that discussion will more than likely never happen. It must be cool for ya'll to have your friends at somewhat the same level of beliefs and thoughts so that you can discuss such topics with the utmost maturity and sincerity...and still remain friends.

Hey Yellow,
I know there is NO WAY in Hades you will ever come back to this particular post, but I'm all about discussing God. Seriuosly...have a question? Ask or inquire or post away, I'm always up for some mind intriguing theological discussions.
Ciaou.
