Can I make an opinion on this? And Im not really sure HOW to say it. I honestly dont think that it matters WHERE you praise, and love God. Ive spent an awful lot of my life, being confused by what people tell me about God, and what God says. I dont know of how much of anything I understand. If that made sense LOL. Lets put it this way. Everyone keeps saying you have to do this, in order for God to love you, or you have to do that, or God wont forgive you. In regards to 'Church' I think this place is in your heart, and not an address. As long as god is in your heart, and you remember him at all times, well,,,isnt that church too?
it's okay to watch church online, tv how ever you choose , after all we are supposed to be worshiping God and you can worship Him everywhere. whether you are sick or not , going to church does not save you, you are going there for fellowship, and not going to church just to be able to say that you go, this is a subject that used to really tick me off with other Christians because it seems like the Christians that do go to church think that they have some kind of superior level on those who don't go to church which leads to judging . so whether you go or not it's between you and God . as long as God approves that's all that matters
the most important thing is not making sure that you go to church but making sure that you are saved

why shouldn't it be acceptable to attend an online service? isn't the same gospel being taught? Isn't the same God being praised? If not, there are other, far more serious issues than the fact that it is online. I see nothing wrong in watching online services... however, they tend to be lacking in one important area - fellowship.
If ALL you do is online services without having some sort of fellowship, you are certainly missing out on some valuable growth opportunities, but in either case, there is nothing at any physical church that will save you: God exists everywhere and His son died for us no matter what your church going habits are.
that said, Is attending a physical church (assuming you are capable of doing so) useful? of course it is.
notice how much of that is based on our relationships with one another? Church isn't just a place for us to focus on ourselves. It is a place where we can learn to focus on others, where we can learn what it is to be part of a community of true believers (ideally), and where we can learn how to peacefully coexist with others that are so annoyingly human. There is far more to church than just a sermon and songs.
