What are your thoughts: Can you be a christian without attending church?
Being a Christian is being Christlike in character and heart. Not because you go to church... just like standing in a garage does not make you a car... etc.
There are many advantages of attending a church besides learning more about Jesus and how to live our lives like our Savior, and gaining understanding about His Word ....although.. one can be led to a very gifted pastor on line and gain much wisdom there... but you dont get the benefits of corporate worship, relationships, and the benefits of giving your time sowing into other members lives of the church by serving. And if your not where your supposed to be... your not going to grow as much. And your missing out on the benefits that come from supporting (to the wise and prayer wise) the pastor and church building that God desires you help take care of.
So your answer is yes you can... but your missing out on other things that come from being apart of the fellowship God desires you to be part of.
Don't confuse this with those who physically can not attend with those who just don't want to.
God has a place, a home a church already chosen for you.
There you will find His Grace for EVERYTHING you will need to grow and mature into His Plan for your life.
Best Answer is......
Why do you ask this question?
Take your answer unto the Father in Prayer and spend some time with Him in this.
Then you will begin to see things Clearly and have your answer.

Is there any area of your life where your in disobedience to what He told you? If so.. that will cause issues also"God has a place, a home a church already chosen for you.

Let me ask... how do you know that they are saved?I ask because I have seen a few Christians who do not believe in a particular denomination or group but they are saved. So I was wondering if there was something I was missing or something I was misinterpreting.

Just like to point out those who may be in nursing homes or ill may have been attending church for many many years and already be built up in faith.
My grand aunt was in a rest home and the church would come to HER. She was actually baptised at the rest home. Because churches take their services to retirement viillages and rest homes, but the residents still choose whether to listen to the Word and attend services and fellowship with each other.
There are chaplains in hospitals and schools and the military. Pastoral care does not just happen inside a church building.
One Week Without Jesus or Church or GodWhat is it they say..... seven days away from church makes one weak.
Greetings Phoenix111 ,I agree with all of you. I tend to feel closer to him when I go to church. Church for me was a place where i could ask a bunch of questions and hear different opinions and answers. In this way, church for me was/is fun as I like to learn and research. However, you will have those who say...church shouldn't be fun...I get so confused sometimes. Then it gets over complicated with the rules of wear this....wear that...eat this...eat that. Some churches also do not like when you question anything as they think questioning what they say is sinning. But then how are you expected to learn anything?
