Do People Have Believing In God Confused?

I do also believe that you don't have to go to church to believe in God. I just recently accepted the Lord and it really helps me to go to church. I find it very loving and it is teaching me what I need to know to get closer to him. I go to church because I want to, not cause I have to or think it's the right thing to do. Everyone has they're own way of loving God, mine just happens to be going to church.

I do believe in God and go to church. But there are s lot of churches that I believe has gotten away from the bible and god. I dont think that people have to go to church to have a personal relationship with God. Going to church shouldn't you know measure your christianity.

I'm one of these ppl. I have a very deep belief in God but I don't attend church. I don't believe I have to be in a church to pray and I don't believe that it's up to anyone other than God to judge me in what I've done in my life or how I live my life. Too many times I've seen churches dictating how someone is supposed to live their lives and then kicking them out of the church if they don't live the way the church wants them to. I was baptised Catholic but I don't follow it simply b/c I don't believe I should have to confess my sins to a priest and that he can give me penance and your forgiven. This is only my beliefs and how I look at it. **AT PEACE WITHIN** ~~STAND STRONG IN YOUR BELIEFS~~

Its not about religion, its about a relationship. Too many people get those confused. Church isn't about what going on inside the building, sure there are ministries to participate in, sermons to listen to and programs to further your understanding of God and his will but by no means is a church confined to its walls. People think they have to be entertained at church or even enlightened with a pastors opinion. I don't go to church to hear what the pastor thinks, I personally don't care, I do care about what God has to say so that's why I go. I get filled up with the holy word and I use the whole week to apply it to my life and to tell others about it. This might be off the subject but I have noticed people tend to clap in church after a performance, it may be after the offeratory, somebody singing or special music. I don't clap, I say Amen! Have you noticed that too?
