/christian/ - Christian Discussion and Fellowship

I go to church every Sunday and I do not think at all that "the majority of users on this board" don't do the same. On the contrary, most people here seem very passionate about their faith.

I will be honest and say this: a few time I have skipped mass out of despair. But I’m going to mass regularly now.

>most justify it with "all churches are etc."

That's their poor autism talking.

If they'd be 4real, they'd build better churches.

I used to go to like three in every four sundays. Now I go to everyone. It's so much easier if you just have one parish and dont split between the two.

>I get this feeling that the majority of users on this board dont go to church on Sunday's.

Same tbh. Not a majority but a lot of people here. I've been sliding in people's DMs in the discord, and I have a very accurate picture of who the larpers are and who arent (I wont name the denom because we have enough infighting)

>>720863

Its orthodox or catholic isn't it…

I literally go to church so most everyday but I'm an autistic who doesn't know anyone and I don't get the community benefit a church is supposed to have but it's fine. I like Churches.

t. Former fedora, pagan

I go every Sunday and once a month Sunday evening for lords supper.

/Christian/ is my church.

>>720878

/Christian/ group meeting when?!

I go to church every Sunday, unless there's some reason I absolutely cannot. It helps that my church is about a 5 minutes walk from my apartment, and while the service is rather novus ordo it's a great community and they have the sacraments.

I used to be really bad about it but now I have been going every week for a while and I'm going to try an go to daily mass every evening after work.

I go every Sunday and also plan to start going every Saturday, but I'm a lazy sinner and cannot make myself to get my ass up and go. Going everyday would be perfect, but I'm unable to do that, as I'm back home after the last mass is over.

>>720855

I go, when I'm not at work.

>>720855

I don't go to mass, because it is usually incredibly low-energy. I am not saying this as an insult. I devote 3-4 hours a week to prayer, I probably should do even more, but going tois just something that really doesn't work for me. I like going to church when no-one else is there though, but these days the doors are locked…

>>720938

Oh is it now?

I go every Sunday. Also I never had a suspicion as majority of people here don't go.

I don't go to Church because I can't But sometimes I don't do the bible reading I'm supposed to do on Sunday either so I guess that's my current equivalent to not going to church

I don't because no one in my family will go with me and it would feel weird to intrude on a gathering that I wasn't invited to alone.

I don't go every Sunday. For a long time I didn't go at all. It's not for lack of want, but for lack of a church that isn't watered down.

In America we have plenty of churches, but it's hard to find one that isn't just preaching about feeling good. I don't go to church because I need a psychiatrist. I go because I want to learn more about God, and mostly I do better by reading on my own.

I do feel God's presence when I am in church, though. I am always a better man afterwards for having gone. The preaching is just always lacking in its intricacies. It's too much for the lowest common denominator, which could be someone not even saved.

I am glad to have fellowship and be in the presence of our Lord. I just feel there is a lack of conviction and a big want for preachers to not offend and grow their congregation rather than preach the truth.

I wish I had my own local Pastor Anderson.

>only on Sunday

Do you even church, bro?

>>720956

lel

>>720957

pretent you're going to a party on Sunday or something and when nobody's looking head to nearest Catholic church

>>720966

I've been thinking about your post for a bit.

Wouldn't it make more sense to just outright say I'm going to the Church?

>>720959

Everyone is invited to church, it's God's house and he wants to see all of us gathering there. It's awkward at first but you'll make friends, we're all brothers and sisters in Christ.

>>720969

>Wouldn't it make more sense to just outright say I'm going to the Church?

I'm not the anon you originally asked, but yes, you shouldn't lie to your parents. If you're worried about their reaction, remember proverbs 28:1.

>>720976

>you shouldn't lie to your parents

I thought this was permissible on a theological level as the authority of god overrules the authority of parents, so I could lie to my parents on this specific matter.

The reason I didn't want to lie was because it would probably fade away, possibly on day 1, since I don't ever leave my house.

>>720864

Yeah, first one mostly.

I used to go all the time (for a period of 6 months or so going at least 3 times a week, and going at least once a week before that) but I've stopped going for a month or two because my personal problems have gotten really bad. I'm going to a daily Mass tomorrow morning, there are way less people there so it's easier for me, and hopefully that gets me in the mood for more. It's kind of a vicious cycle of guilt, which only gets worse as I stay away longer.

>>720957

See if there's a Saturday evening Mass time, just say you're going out your parents might not even know Catholics consider that time valid for a weekly obligation.

>>720855

I go multiple times a week though I am unable to receive communion. Easter can't come soon enough.

I go every Sunday, unless I'm sick, because I'm on the worship team. In all honesty, I probably wouldn't go as much if it weren't for that.

>>720855

I haven't been to church since June 2017

>>724450

Why?

Sunday Morning, Sunday Night, and Wednesday Night.

>tfw been getting more and more involved in the parish and now go to mass 3 to 4 times a week

Wew. Feels good to live right next to the church.

>>720855

I go every Sunday and most of Wednesday nights. I try to go to the Bible study there every Sunday morning but my flesh always got the better of me. Plus, I'm too shy and hardly know anyone there despite going regularly for about a month now

>>720959

My family aren't Christian and I always go alone anon. But it's God's house and you're there to worship God (not to mean that you don't on the other days) so why should you care if your family's going with you or not?

>>720960

I used to feel the same anon. Try to find a small one that has the old kind of billboards. Those churches usually have a very simple website so it's hard to find them online. But I bet there's a local pastor Anderson in your town if you try and look hard, and pray to God.

>>732570

catholics are 50x the size of baptists and orthodox tho

>>732574

Not in the US, but does size have to do with percent attendance?

>>720857

Optimism like this gives me hope.

>>732577

I think he means this:

Literally everyone growing up in a catholic household calls themselves catholic, regardless of if they believe or not. Nobody calls themselves a baptist who doesnt believe. It's more just a wording thing

>>732582

There are nominals in every group, "baptist" is used in the same way

>>720855

I think the only lazybone/weaksauce around here is me. I do not skip church too long though, 2-3 weeks max. Sometimes because I am too lazy and tired to wake up really early and take an hour train ride to church, sometimes because I am sick (I am not really in good health).

I go every Sunday and Thursday, often also on other days.

During Christmas and Easter I go every day of the period.

If you have a Church in your area and can't even afford to give God 1 hour of your entire week then you can't really call yourself a devout Christian.

I feel like this need to be bumped as a reminder to everyone that this is basically a board for /pol/tier larpers.

>>720855

>So be honest do you go to church every Sunday?

Either that or Saturday (my church has multiple services). Haven't missed a service since I started attending this church five months ago.
