Is chatting on CC a sufficient alternative to church?

Here at CC we have the opportunity to minister to the lost, fellowship with other believers, and pray for one another. Sounds like church to me!

Yes, sounds like church to me too.

The Bible says we should congregate. One of the main steps ofter accepting Jesus Christ as your saviour is attending to a church, having comunion with other brothers and sisters with the same faith.
"Carry each other’s burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ." Gal 6:2
"Two are better than one,
because they have a good return for their labor:
If either of them falls down,
one can help the other up.
But pity anyone who falls
and has no one to help them up.
Also, if two lie down together, they will keep warm.
But how can one keep warm alone?
Though one may be overpowered,
two can defend themselves.
A cord of three strands is not quickly broken." Ecclesiastes 4:9-12

Yes,^ there CAN be times that Christian Chat can take the place of church, the Lord leads, but those cases are ONLY between you and God and YOU will KNOW that you are makin the right move or wrong by what God is doing in your life. Just don't judge others of going to Hell if they don't go to church, that would be sooo wrong and God looks down on that VERY much soooooo.





Yes, Christian Chat can take the place of church fellowship 59.09%No, Christian Chat should only be a supplement to church in most cases
