God is everywhere. [/quote] i think so too, i want to go to church i just dont want to feel like i HAVE to go. thats why i hated going when i was little [/quote] There are [b]NO [/b]obligations in your relationship with God, only opportunity.:hf: [/quote] That depends on whether ones god is the one mentioned in the bible. The god of the holy bible does require certain things of 'his people'... you know... the instructions of Christ. [/quote] Actually No He doesn't. May I suggest you read http://www.humanitysteam.ru/lib/Conversation%20with%20God,%20book%201.pdf to hear Him tell you exactly How it is.:hf: [/quote] I'm talking about the god of the bible, not the god of 'Conversations with God by Neale Donald Walshe'. The god of the bible does give plenty of instructions to 'his people', including many instructions which are grammatically in imperative mood, and also include statements in the NT such as "And this is love, that we walk after his commandments. This is the commandment, That, as ye have heard from the beginning, ye should walk in it." Obviously the god of the holy bible has instructions he gives to 'his people', and expects them to follow. You know... tell the truth, don't murder people, don't lie about his word, etc. [/quote] but if one is that into is.... not going to church morally wrong? [/quote] The word Church in the bible is ekklesia, which simply means those 'called out'. According to scripture, christians are supposed to associate with likeminded believers for the purpose of encouraging and teaching one another (remember, in the first century, christians were being chased and murdered in mass, and needed the support of one another). This was called the 'love feast'. The assemblies of today operate nothing like those of the first century, and are actually Pagan in origin... check out a book titled 'Pagan Christianity: Exploring the roots of our church practices' ( http://www.amazon.com/Pagan-Christianity-Exploring-Church-Practices/dp/141431485X/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1342400465&sr=8-1&keywords=pagan+christianity ) which outlines these facts.

Original Message
i get a text from someone from church saying someone had a vision of me that says that God is telling me to choose who i am going to serve before its too late choose salvation or destruction and if i choose God i have to surrender completely to God for there should be no confusion or pain. the irony is that even though i was missing church i felt more connected to God. i had a lot of good luck in my life i didnt go because i felt like i didnt need to. i go back and instead of feeling love theyre trying to scare me. or am i wrong?
