SIPEDO SEZ

The passage demanding that you attend a church is..? And in which version of the Christian Bible?

I think the point Sip was making, Yellowdog, (Sweet Lab) and Ride (My Friend) that the Bible DOES say that God wants us to have fellowship with other Christians.
"Let us not give up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but let us encourage one another- and all the more as you see The Day approaching." Hebrews 13:25
But who says "Church" has to be in a building, with pews and stained glass? Jesus taught on the beach, on mountainsides, in gardens, in tents, on the streets, everywhere.
"Church" could be in someones living room, I've been to "those" all listed above. Ride, being a Christian may mean different things to different people. To me, it means that I believe Jesus died on the cross for my sins, and the sins of all mankind, that he arose on the Third Day, that He forgave me my sins, when I asked him to come into my heart and be My Savior, and that I believe He is coming back one day, to take me, and others who believe in Him to heaven, BECAUSE HE said HE would! I believe 100% of the Bible is true!
Obama, "He no know!" He's a Muslim, no he's a Christian, he loves his pastor, no he hates him, he's ashamed of his Momma, no he loves her...WHATEVER he is (not for me, fo' sho'!) he's not "fellowshipping" with any of "his own
flock"!

Matthew 6: 5 When you pray, do not be like the hypocrites! They love to stand up and pray in the houses of worship and on the street corners, so everyone will see them. I assure you they have been paid in full.
6 But when you pray, go to your room, close the door and pray to your Father, who is unseen. And your Father, who sees what you do in private, will reward you.

You're absolutely right about that, Frank!
Jesus was talking about the Pharisee's who were very "showy" people. They made a "big fuss" about everyone seeing them, and their worship didn't come from their hearts.
Jesus wanted them to be more humble, and he later said, "I tell you the truth, unless you change and become like little children, you will never see the kingdom of heaven." Matt 18:3 But He also said, "For where two or three come together in my name, there am I with them." Matt. 18:20 He wants us to "get with" other people who are "Believers" so we won't be lonely, and so we can "grow."

LMLAO, pl!
Frank, BTW, isn't it nice to blah, blah, blog, disagree a little, go back and forth, no problem, I'm not going to come to your house tonight with 5 of my most savage dogs, and tear you up.....no drive-by shootings...
NO DIARRHEA!

Hey sip, how you doin' buddy?

A lively debate with a zinger of two is a splendid thing indeed, deb.

I look forward to pointing out the foilbes and follies of the Dem's and our next next Pres, Barry O'Taxum and Vp Hairplug.

I'll surely miss Dick and Dumb and hope they remain in the news after they are indicted and put on trial for their war crimes and their economic destruction.

Your body is your temple and that's good enough for me.

For once, I agree with DF.

Yeah... wierd, huh? :)
