That keeps you in infancy, you will never grow. There are probably things you should know by now but don't. When you enter Gods rest, every day is holy. Besides that if your going go to church on the Sabbath, that's Saturday. It was changed to sunday, by man.

You don't have to go to a church to fellowship. It could just you and one other person.

assembly on this 'forum' is very, very, important to many precious souls...
I am sorry to say you are overly obsessed with 'assembling. Does not scripture also say that we should NOT have fellowship with people whohave another Belief ? People who believe in SUNDAY worship are of a different Belief than those who keep the Sabbath Holy, it being the day GOD instituted whilst sunday-worship is introduced by MEN - the RCC/Vatican.
They are actually 2 different Religions both reading the same Bible but applying it to different gods. There is 'no coming together' until this issue is resolved. TRADITIONS of MEN have got to GO as Jesus/Yashua TEACHES !!!
do you mean a literal church building ? see Acts 16v13...and did JESUS preach in a church or out in the open as He moved around ?
Church means CONGREGATION or two or more, which can meet anywhere.
According to King Salomie that is baloney....
And further, by these, my son, be admonished: of making many books there is no end; and much study is a weariness of the flesh.
Eccl 12:12
Z..,
King Salomie hardly gets my attention. The Bible does.
b...,
(there are 5 other days).
If your Sabbath is different than my Sunday....you and I ...yes....millions more on my Sunday...and on your Sabbath.
Sorry, did you mean to say fellowship does have to be at a church? Or is that first part that conflicts with the second in your post a typo? Missing the word, not. as in, "fellowship does not have to be at a church."
Yep. Jesus said wherever two or three are gathered in his name there is he also. He didn't say, wherever two or three are gathered in church.
The body of the church are all believers in Christ. The Greek word, Ekklesia meant called out ones, the assembly.
Ephesians 1:22-23 “And God placed all things under his feet and appointed him to be head over everything for the church, which is his body, the fullness of him who fills everything in every way.”
Yes, thank you for making MY point ! You are missing something in scripture !!! It is NOT the MANY who are on the right road but the FEW !!!
see Mat 7v21-23 and 13-15.
SUNDAY-observers are on very slippery ground because it was not..never appointed by GOD ! NOW is the time of CORRECTION for all who want to hear.
NOT following the true Lord is very much a SALVATION issue.Heb 5v8,9. The son of man is also LORD of the SABBATH ! Mk 2v28.
Even 1000 other days can not replace GOD's OWN HOLY Sabbath...surely you must see that what is HOLY is different from what is NOT Holy. Afraid christians/gentiles have never been taught the truth ! Lev 10v10.
I am just showing you scripture...the choice to do or not to do is your own !
Well, the Bible only says what you believe it says, or rather it reflects your own thought so of course the Spirit doesn't get your attention, because as many that are lead by the Spirit of truth are born of the Spirit.

Legalism is very dangerous.
It gives us the appearance that we are pleasing God when we may not be at all.

b....,
Whoa...not so fast..... G-d new we would need police, medical personnel, etc...so Sabbath becomes personal...doesn't it?
I believe G-d's intent was for the 7th day to be His Sabbath. Then the Sabbath is there for everyone...depending on their work schedule and no excuse for anyone.
A common sense thing to me.
GOD's original intent for mankind was quite different to how it actually turned out.
It is our own WRONGDOING that necitates the SERVICES we have NEED of now....and which INTERFERE greatly with GOD's Plan ! However as we see in the NT God is NOW allowing for much ''good works and is quite possibly allowing for these servies to take place.....IN CONTRAST to our own UNnecessary works we sneak into the Sabbath ie sporting- events, shopping- sprees, or anything personal that takes away time spent with GOD and for general benefit of mankind.
EVERYTHING WE do seems 'common sense to man but not necessarily to GOD Isah 55v8,9.
b....,
You extended it beyond reasonable....sports, shopping, golfing,etc...I don'think so and I did not include that.
G-d knew originally and that is the reason The Bible speaks of the Sabbath in terms of the 7th day.

Assemble---to gather together in one place---
We are not in one place, we are scattered all over the world.
So NO, we are not assembled. We are debating on the internet.
Assembling involves communication. Both communication (these days) and the holy spirit are independent of common space. So if someone communicates something and another is edified by it, then yes, Jesus is in our midst.
