some people I talked. they do believed in God but no time to visit in church. lots of reason--1st. they built church on there own by showing good faith and good character of human being! is it enough to prove being a believer of God? if isn't then what else???

You can believe in God and Jesus as our savior anywhere.You can pray to and praise Him at your own home,in your car,at work,in your backyard.You do not have to necessarily go to a specific church.

hi dfollin you have your point..infact anywhere if you believed in God you can do it and believed him wherever you are. some i heard that church was in youself and that they dont need to come to church coz they already have it. but for me..yes i do believed in God and jesus christ and being a christian i used to go to church every sunday. they are not asking we spend our whole time in church but even just for 1 hour we can visit there and listen to God's word. its not hard to do it. I do pray anywhere in the house, or even in the backyard or im some places away coz i believed he is anywhere.. but its also nice to visit in church onces in a while. thanks for posting

I go to church every Sunday when I was still in the Philippines. Since I arrived here in the states, I have never been into the church. Though I never forget God everyday. And you are right, there are lot of people believed and got faith in Him even they don't go to church. Going to church does not really mean that you are already a faithful person because there are people go to church with their own reason and that's not to be close with Him.

On the first hand my friend what religion are you belong? Well, if you are catholic this is my simple explanation to you as your sister. Our church we called it a universal church and the founder of this church is Jesus itself. The first Pope who stand out is St Peter and followed by other Pope. We called it universal because as you see it was worldwide and look who's the founder. Anyway you are the believer well good ija, but the common problem is the people inside the church and the server of the church. Exactly that was. Even me on my first time to serve I cried and tears of blood because the unexpected events I saw there. Universal church with the universal kind of behavior of people but common in beliefs and faith. Sis, the only thing I would like to tell you is this, do not look to their doings but to have look on your own faith. For faith will save us and bring us to heavenly Father. But before that going to happened there is a requirement We have to know the teaching of God and we can see all of this in bible with the correct input of catechism. As a catholic we have our doctrine. A very long story it was not ended here but I need to say a temporary bye!
