Bible Question:
I would appreciate some feedback to this question. And, I am asking you NOT to identify your denomination. How important is your specific church in your personal relationship with Jesus? Scale: 1 preferred, but not really 'needed' 10 extremely important - must have Comments are optional, but I would appreciate as many responses as people are willing to share. Thank you |
Bible Answer: with exceptions, i would say 10 - extremely important. the way i see it, you can't seperate the Body from the Head. the church is the Body, Christ is the Head. so the two go hand in hand. exceptions, of course, are Bible-based cults (better off solo), and if you were in some prison where you were the only christian - well, you wouldn't cease being a christian because you were not in a church. but ultimately, i think the Bible is pretty clear that church community is essential to all mature, healthy christians. |
