Joshua,
I have no problem stating what I feel on this site (Because I don't care what you think either.
) Church is there for those that need it. And for that I think it is great. But, after spending 30 years in a church and learning the hard way that you don't need it, I am happy to keep my spiritual life private and discuss it only with a few close chosen friends and anyone else that believes and wants to discuss something. But I know for a fact that it is not needed to make it into God's Kingdom. The deeper meaning of life is in how you ARE not how many church services you attend. It's your character that determines where you end up, not how many holy days you kept or how much you paid in tithes. You can attend church every Sabbath and still beat your wife and hate your neighbor. But you're in church so you're saved?????? Not according to Christ. The righteous Pharisees proved that. They were letter of the law keepers of the word and they killed Christ. So much for staunch church goers.
