The answer to your question isn’t a black and white biblically stated answer, but from scripture certain things can be deduced. Ephes. 4:11-12 And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers; [12] For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ: In a perfect scenario these functions are found operating in the local church, or a least they should be. In most cases face to face fellowship and worship is conducted in the local assembly. Matthew 18:20 For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them. As suggested by Matt. 18:20, church “could be” as few as two Christians getting together to celebrate the Lord ’s Table, if needs be! The term, church, leaves a lot of latitude, biblically speaking! 1 Cor. 11:26 For as often as ye eat this bread, and drink this cup, ye do shew the Lord's death till he come. Notice it says, as often, not designating how often but when. Acts 20:7 would suggest when it was done. Acts 20:7 And upon the first day of the week, when the disciples came together to break bread, Paul preached unto them, ready to depart on the morrow; and continued his speech until midnight. If one is looking for an excuse not to fellowship with other Christians I would imagine there are many verses that could be distorted, but that’s like not going to the grocery store to find food, it just plain doesn’t make sense, be it Saturday or Sunday! Have a nice day, CDBJ |

Hi, Thanks for the three responses and I have studied all the Bible quotations mentioned therein.Regretably, I find that with my limitedcapablity of understanding of the Bible,my question is still very much intact. For your convenience, I append hereunder the question. "Is it compulsory or customary for Christians to attend Sunday Services, or it is up to the individual's mood?" Hopefully, someone will be kind enough to forward simple,direct and relevant comments. No deduction,please.Answears derived by deduction could be misleading because this method of obtaining answears is very subjective. Thanks FytRobert |

It is customary. Galatians 4:8-11 Howbeit then, when ye knew not God, ye did service unto them which by nature are no gods. But now, after that ye have known God, or rather are known of God, how turn ye again to the weak and beggarly elements, whereunto ye desire again to be in bondage? Ye observe days, and months, and times, and years. I am afraid of you, lest I have bestowed upon you labour in vain. Praise the Lord! Norm |
