If you do not eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink His blood, you have no life in you. God actually makes it very clear why ***must*** go to Church
OK, so you're saying that verse is defining the church as simply people who pray together to Jesus. That's not only a terrible oversimplification taken way out of context and ignores mountains of other pertinent scriptures, it also completely fails to address /u/fourleaved 's entire argument which is that Christ mandated that you receive the sacraments.
Lol. No not really. Downvoted because it's fucking stupid and self-contradictory, and also a lowkey attack on the OP's professed conversion.
"You need to realize that you're not the only Christian and all the other Christians aren't wrong. Also, I don't need to go to church any more because all the Christians who do are wrong, and I'm right."
I swear, netizens spend all fucking day reading, but never develop beyond a 2nd grade reading level.
Heresies will always exist around the church because their purpose is to galvanize the true church through its opposition to them. You do not train a fighter with texts; you give them a sparing partner.
God said "Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching."
that isn't how I read what he said, he's literally saying that if a billion people think you should be a sodomite loving Jesus worshiping Christian and you don't think that then you're wrong
Post them, then.
>it also completely fails to address u/fourleaved 's entire argument which is that Christ mandated that you receive the sacraments.
I said nothing about that. His argument is also that “you must **go to** church,” but church is anywhere Christians gather in His name.
