Sinful Christian here! Don't make it every Sunday but going today!
I have mucho faith in God and Jesus! Don't understand everything about God, obviously because I'm a human but I am a firm believer! Wish some of you guys would rethink this!

Yo Buzz, glad Treymeister is up and about!
Looking forward to hearing great news this week!

I attended every Sunday growing up and in to my 40's when the kids were young. But when dance and travel baseball came around for our kids we fell out of it. So now it's a once or twice a year event.

was raised Catholic and appreciate the value system. I think the teachings sort of guide one to be a good human and for that alone there is value, even if not a believer per se.
that said, our family ran into a series of bad priests who made it known that we were not good enough to attend because there wasn't enough money in our pot to give them their fair share. it got really ugly. faith isn't supposed to be quid pro quo and that turned me off. I go when its appropriate such as weddings and such, but skip the every sunday thing.

I've encountered the "you're not giving enough" a few times, both of time and monetary donations. A guy a work his church had to see his w2 every year to make sure he was giving the appropriate amount.

Well said.

Plus they do a lot of good for their communities.

Quoted from Frank Herbert’s Dune (of all things): Religion must remain an outlet for people who say to themselves ‘I am not the kind of person I want to be’. It must never sink into an assemblage of the self-satisfied.

My kid goes to a Catholic school. I'm only in church for her school functions.

same. I used to go when younger.

Growing up I attended 12 years of private Catholic school, which explains my Grammar Nazi behavior on here.... most Sunday mornings, early mass, then the Italian bakery for pastries etc, and then home.

Pretty sure most know my answer, yes I do believe. Church a few times a month now, when the kids were here 2-3 times a week.

That said I don't think one needs religion to be a good person. I try to be a good person regardless.

I do believe in Ancient Aliens

We did that as well. My daughter was recently Ordained as a Minister and moved to Indiana to help their congregation.

I started off Catholic through the military. Then in College I quit going but met my future wife who was Lutheran. I joined shortly after we were married but still didn't go... she did.

then the kids started going and when the Pastor fast-tracked Trey through the confirmation process, I started going again.

LCMS is "Catholic Lite"... I dig it

My wife goes here. It still looks the same, minus the shelling and fire damage. I go once or twice a month.

There is one true and living God, the God of the Bible. The God of Abraham, Issac, and Jacob. The God who first revealed Himself to the Jews, and later to the Gentiles. All other gods are false gods, and there is no hope of salvation in any of them.

Many churches and religions and denominations teach a god other than the God of the Bible. They have other scriptures and teachings, they add to or subtract from the Bible. They have all gone apostate at some time past, and continue to be apostate.

If you attend any church that teaches anything other than the God of the Bible, then you are not hearing what God wants you to know about Him.

For English speakers, I'd highly recommend sticking to the Authorized Version, (AKA King James Version) of the Bible, as published by Cambridge. More modern versions have been corrupted by various people over time.

All that said, I have not found a local church that teaches and preaches the Bible and the Bible only. I do get a benefit from listening to sermons I download from Godly pastors.
