[Railroad]

Just another poll, but the demographics might be interesting.

I do Belive in God, But I do not attend church.

Christians that are not going to church, have you forgotten this scripture?

Hebrews 10:23-25

<sup id="en-NASB-30157">23</sup>Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for He who promised is faithful;

<sup id="en-NASB-30158">24</sup>and let us consider how to stimulate one another to love and good deeds,

<sup id="en-NASB-30159">25</sup>not forsaking our own assembling together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another; and all the more as you see the day drawing near.

As to those that "believe in God", satan and the demons know God is real.

James 2:19

<sup id="en-NASB-30313">19</sup>You believe that God is one You do well; the demons also believe, and shudder.

Jesus said it takes a bit more.

John 14:15

<sup id="en-NASB-26684">15</sup>"If you love Me, you will keep My commandments.

You see, if you believe in Jesus as Savior and Lord then you will want to keep His commandments. Your life will reflect your belief with what you do. You won't be perfect, but you will seek perfection.

Please. I did not post the above to hurt or be judgmental. The point is being a Christian in today's world is tough. We need the encouragement of other Christians which is what Hebrews 10:23-25 says.

tho i was raised attending church every sunday..and have strong beliefs... I also feel that GOD is all around us.. I feel that I can sit and watch a sunset and pray and ask for his guidence in my life... without being physically present in church every sunday....

I feel it is more important to live by his words (in our actions and treatment of others) then to have a perfect attendance record... and make no use of what you have learned...



(however i would like to add that if i had children.. i would feel differently.. about this.. )

reminds me of the scene in the old 'Oh God' movie... God is trying to convince the guy that he is real, and the guy says something along the lines of "I don't even belong to a church" God- "Neither do I"
