Hi Randor, I don't attend church but not for any of the reasons or excuses you listed. A church should be a place to go where you are fed but if you end up starving for the meat of the word, what good is it? In your post #5 you referenced, "not give up meeting together"...Here's the whole verse: Heb. 10:25 - :Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching". The italicized part is the second major reason for having a church in the first place, the main reason of course is the saving of souls which doesn't need a church per se, but the discipling afterwards should be a church's responsibility. A church should be preparing it's members to deal with the end times issues that will soon be upon us, a place of growth, encouragement and spiritual warfare, however, most churches take a "head in the sand" approach to end times, not wanting to "scare" the church members or risk being seen as "controversial".
I'll even admit to having a "rebellious" spirit, not against the words and will of God, but against the "christian lite" attitude of most churches, drowning their members in milk and not providing any meat, to paraphrase..."man can not live on milk alone". One of my complaints is about the empty, vapid tinkling of contemporary music that also prevails in the church which may contain some pretty words and phrases but are devoid of anything resembling real depth or meaning.
Let me share some verses... 1 John 4:1 - "Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world". I think this verse implies that if you're under a false teacher, you should leave. Yes, there are many "called" to their profession but there are just as many that are not called but take that mantle upon themselves for one reason or another which can lead to much problems.
Matt. 18:20 - "For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them." This is a church. You don't need a building, just fellowship with other believers no matter what the setting, whether it be a family get together or a small group or a home bible study. The church of today is about the polar opposite of what the first century church was.
