What makes you think you are above attending church? The Bible makes it clear that church is an important part of a Christian's life.

Hebrews 10:25 says, "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 approach."

I just knew you were going to quote this verse , see earlier response to you .

What makes you think you are above us because you go to a building ?

Where does it say anything about going to church in that verse of scripture ? .

Jesus said where 2 or 3 are gathered in my name there i am in the midst.

Infact where does it say in the scripture that a place of meeting is called a church ?.

Church is the called out ones. I believe everytime I share some discussion here that I'm IN Church.

And we don't.

Do you attend church with others who share your faith? Do you believe in Christ the Firstfruits, the need for us to be conformed into His likeness, or understand the book of Revelation as the APOKALUPSIS - the revealing? The significance and meaning of the woes, earthquakes, burning mountains, hail storms, vials, and judgments in the book of Revelation?

These are poured out upon men (Adam, flesh), upon the earth (carnality, soulishness), upon the sea (wickedness), upon the rivers and streams (doctrines, creeds, philosophies, mind-sets), upon the beast (natural constitution), upon the harlot (religious systems, spirits), upon the mountains (strongholds, dominions, kingdoms within), and a number of other realms. You will understand a great truth when you understand that all of these things are as truly within us as they are without.

These are the very things that must be purged and eradicated once and for all and completely from our lives if we are to share the glory of Christ’s kingdom. But the current church system just sits at the airport waiting for a flight - meanwhile God is preparing a people who can withstand the fight...

I am not above anyone. I am a sinner that is not worthy of God's love and yet He still loves me!

Since you don't like the term church, do you fellowship with other believers?

Well why do you suggest those who do not go to a building are ?

Yes i meet with believers when i can, but nothing remotely close to what you christians call going to church..
