The weekly meeting and gathering of tithes and offerings was started by organized religion, not by Jesus. They're businesses that need income to pay the bills, even though Jesus said to ask not for gold nor filthy lucre.
I don’t like churches man.
I think the faith is buried in false activity. I’ve been saying this for couple a months now that the only thing you should need is the word of Jesus, and the more I read and see alternative info, the more I become sure that this is the narrow path.
The church is within.
If you aren't familiar with it, the Red Letter Bible (wn.elib.com) highlights Jesus' words in red. It provides quite a stark contrast to what organized churches teach. Organized Christianity, on might infer is actually Paulist, not truly Christian.
