Not necessarily, if you actually read the bible yourself or go out and do God's work by helping people, doing the right thing, etc. it doesn't really matter if you sit listening to somebody preach about doing those things at church.
You can still keep it holy without going to church by reading your bible, praying, or doing anything else to praise God. Sometimes the messages in church don't even pertain to everyone. At my church we have had sermons about people's jobs and how to treat your spouse and kids, which I don't have any of those so it had nothing to do with me. A lot of people don't even pay attention in church anyway. I've seen people texting, sleeping, and doing anything else to occupy their time until service is over, then they leave church and go on with their lives as if nothing that was talked about in church matters after it's over. I'm not saying that everybody is like that and I'm not saying that going to church is bad or anything. I'm just saying that church isn't the only way to keep the Sabbath holy.
YC365 How do Christians make Sunday "the Lord's day?"
"A Christian attends Holy Mass on Sunday or on the Vigil of Sunday. On that day he refrains from all work that would prevent him from worshipping God or disturb the festive, joyful, restful and restorative character of the day."
It does not matter what the other people do. It is about what YOU do.
It does matter if you go to church/mass/service. The 3rd Commandment says to Keep Holy Sabbath, that means to use it as a day of rest and attend mass. For Catholics the big reason to go church is to receive Jesus in Holy Communion but for many other Christian Denominations it is still important because of the commandment.
So, you are telling me that nothing exploded into nothing yet some how created the universe then somehow a planet with water and air was placed EXACTLY where it needed to be placed to sustain life then nothing came together to create dinosaurs?
I don't think so. It is quite obvious that God exists, now I am going to answer your first contradiction right now. Evil happens in the world because God plans something to come from the evil. God did not create evil. People did.
So you are saying that something coming from nothing and saying "zip zap zoop" and creating the universe is more logical? We are here because the Earth can sustain life, not the other way around, and it's not like two things collided and then BAM universe is there functioning like it is today, it happened over millions of years.
Our biology is at fault for evil, and "God" is at fault for out biology. You can't say that he didn't create evil because he obviously did. Not that I believe "He" created anything.
It is more a lot more logical than an explosion of nothingness. There is maybe one other known planet in the universe that has water on it. Are you trying to tell me that it is luck that Earth ended up in the small zone that would not scorch or freeze the people on the Earth?
God created the world and then said it was very good. He also gave us free will, basically meaning you have the ability to say he does not exist even though he does. The free will meant that we could do as we darn please. He didn't create evil, the first person to sin, Christians call her Eve created it because they did not trust that God would provide them with everything that they need.
Not trying to start an argument or anything, but I just have to say one thing. The big bang wasn't an explosion of nothingness. If you ask any scientist about the big bang, they'll tell you that they don't know what caused it, not, "there was nothing and nothing exploded."
Going to church doesn't make you a Christian any more than standing in a garage makes you a car.
Amen!
(See what I did there? Eh, screw it, it was funnier in my head
)

Without going to church, the effort is wasted.

In different religions, the numbers jump around. For Catholics it is the 3rd.
...again?
Nope, this post is a figment of your imagination.
But......it has a link.....

Really? Then maybe I wasn't dreaming when I posted this one......
Well it is very much here.
Do you not catch sarcasm?
Do you not catch more sarcasm added on to your sarcasm?
The second post you made, I caught the sarcasm full on, but after your second post I began to wonder if you were just being stupid.
Well I was. I just happened to be sarcastic while doing it.
uh-huh. Alright then.
Amen. Calling yourself Christian doesint even make you saved. Having a relationship with God does :)
Sigh
Inb4...ah, too late
Being a Christian is being ignorant and oblivious to the fact that God obviously does not exist.

Didnt he create Lucifer? Who came before Eve.
Lucifer was an angel. Angels have free will. He went bad. Not unlike what o_o_MARSH already explained
Yes, but God still created him, and Angels don't exactly have free will, I've watched Dogma. Nice picture btw.
Adam.

Amirite is not a bridge, so I recommend you get away from it.
