I guess some people prefer the huge mega churches, which is certainly attested to by the mere fact of their existence. It is easier to go unnoticed and unchecked there, that's for sure. In small fellowship groups, people get to know each other much more intimately, reading the Word of God and sharing their concerns as it relates to God's Word, praying for each other, and yes, *gasp* even breaking bread together. Jesus started with a small group 
had to come off ignoring you to address this...
Messiah is the english translated word for the Hebrew word mashiyach...which means anointed or anointed one...Messiah does not mean Jesus....
Yehoshua means Jesus Yeshua Hamashiach means Jesus the Messiah
When you say Christ you are saying the anointed one...when you say Messiah you are syaing the anointed one...
When you read Jesus Christ in scripture it is referring to Jesus' humanity....when you read Christ Jesus in scripture it is referring to Jesus' divinity
You just cut off your nose to spite your face and your lack of knowledge on the topic, and prove your utter, total and complete ignorance on this matter....it is not love1 that is showing to be a pharisee and spiritual and full of religion, but it is you....
How can you be arrogant and boast and brag of being seminary trained and you are ignorant of these meanings....This is seminary 101 and you just flunked out both intellectually and spiritually...

Hi PennEd, no one is willing to acknowledge the fact that there are wolf's in sheep's clothing on this thread. They will insult you and belittle your intelligence, and criticize your God given faith. After that they will pit one believer against another so that they can divide the flock. Their end game is to tell you stories so as to shame you and then spoon feed their poisonous doctrine to the weakest among God's people. These are common tactics of mind control and exactly how cults get their start. you will hear precious little of our Saviour and just enough to keep their poisoned theology going. And God forbid you should criticize any of their words or actions because you will become their next prey - thats just what they do. mercy, mercy, mercy.

Are you conflating His bride with a building? Yes. You most certainly are.
You do not attend the "the assembling of yourselves together" do you? Not a member of a church, right, but still seek validation and justification, yes?
One can say they love Christ all they want, but when disdain, disrespect and repudiation is show for His bride, something is sorely amiss. But hey, at least man will celebrate with you. Christ? Not so much.

I agree, but also think we make it more than it is....the one guy would not look to heaven, beat on his breast and asked for God to be merciful unto him as a sinner.....Jesus said he went away justified <--rendered innocent.....same with the thief on the cross....we deserve what we are getting, but this man has done nothing wrong..Lord remember me in your Kingdom....same result......at the end of the day we cannot complicate the simplicity that is found in Christ.....nor can we water it down as well.....!
