Why is not going to church every sunday a sin to the christens?

My Friend who been raise Catloic says that not going to church on sundays was a sin.
I wanted to ask her why it was a sin but she had to leave and I had not seen her latly yet.So does anyone here have any thoughts on this or can tell me why it is a sin to miss church on a sunday?Thanks JM 😮‍💨 💃

You would assume that God took Sundays off for rest and quiet, or maybe to watch football.

Catholicism and Christianity have big differences, even though they are kinda the same. Catholics have much stricter views.

its not a sin if you dont go to church every Sunday. onle legalistic Christians say stuff like that.

read the ten commandments

God is like an insecure girlfriend, he wants you to do something to prove how much you care for him, even if there is no real reason too.

If god is everywhere why go to some building every sunday to pray to him?

^^ thats exactly true. even in the Bible, Jesus didnt go to the temple to pray. you can pray to God anyplace anytime. Church's can be just big mokeymakers sometimes.

Can you ask your friend to join KMC? I want to read her thoughts directly from her.

A summary of my religious views.

And the God <--> insecure girlfriend contrast was classic.

This popped straight into my head as soon as I read the title of this thread.

And please guys, try not to be so hard on Jackie. I totally ripped into her as soon as she joined, but I think credit needs to be given simply because she bypassed the OTF in favour of here, and still a n00b!

My opinion is: Its not a sin, to miss church, (although, I rarely if ever miss church, cuz I thk thats his day and I shld be there) but when a person misses 1 sunday, you tend to continually keep missing, then you stop reading, stop praying....til you stop everything. The bible also says to Assemble yourself w/believers. You need that fellowship, and you grow spiritually going to church along w/growing in your everyday life.

You guys had answeared my question good so far and alot of it makes sences in a way.
As for my friend joining I have to ask her she does not go online as offen I do and is involved in so many school stuff that she would never find the time.
And on top of that I losed her phone number and she lives near my mom's house.Who I will not see until next friday.Anyway I will check the spelling too on here thanks for the advice.JM 💃

Just to stick my oar in.... The Bible commands the worshippers of jehovah to keep "His Sabbath..." this was held to begin at sundown on Friday night, and carry on until sundown on Saturday... until the 2nd century, this sabbath was kept by Christians and Jews, until anti-semitic laws were passed... as teh Romans were trying to distance their "Christianity" from the original jewish form, Christians were put under increasing pressure not to "Judaize..." They were encouraged by Constantine the Great, worshipper of Sol Invictus, to combine their day of worship with that of the Sun-god... hence the Sabbath was moved to Sunday... therefore, ever since, any Christian who keeps Sunday as the sabbath is breaking the commandment to keep holy the sabbath given by God....

...and the bible doesnt say you have to go to church.... it just says that you mustnt work on sabbath, because god rested on this day too.

...and are usually 100 times more hypocriticial, too.

Going to church is more for fellowship than worship, IMO. Worship, I can do in the privacy of my own home, which makes the relationship a lot more intimate and personally gratifying.

It is not a sin, you ignoramus.

I go to church every sunday for 4 hours and they do not think that its a sin to not to go.

Jesus didnt go to church at all.
