Church is where believers come together. I think if you check the context of that verse, it has to do with church discipline. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone want to take a wild guess as to why America is slowly slipping in its morals? It's because Christians, like the ones in this thread, are becomming anti-church. Yes, there are corrupt churches...how does that give you the right to say they are all wrong and incorrect? For goodness sake's, I've caught my pastor in an affair, he's arrogant, he's comming after my family and I, he's trying to prevent me from getting into college, he's using people in the church to do this, etc.....but I have nothing against churches. If anything, I see a greater need for churches to come together and keep each other accountable (which would make them bigger). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is not a person here more individualistic than I, but I love the Church, both local and universal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do oppose the "business" of christianity. Too many people do not understand the validity or importance of home fellowship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
