Are there a Church like Catholic that is for regular Christian that may have family living in there that have Church open 24/7 like Catholic does?

The reason I ask is cause Catholic is very reliable, but it's not the kind of Church I go to, and every time I need something the Christians are not available because the church is every Sunday, and even once every Sunday is not enough, but the Catholic has more advantage, and is available 24/7.

I would like to know w3here you are living? I live in Spain, a primarily Catholic country, and just about all of the churches are closed throughout the week and even Sundays before and after masses……..

Of course this does not include the RCC money-making large architecturally famous cathedrals and the like.

No protestant church in Europe can compare to various charities, hospitals, caring for old people, caring for homeless people, monasteries etc of the RCC.
You are right that there is almost always some RCC organization "open" for you to come.

In the USA, I think that methodists run some hospitals?

Is this true though? I have never heard of ANY church that is open 24/7?

But you are correct, while I am not a catholic I will NOT take away from the great people who care for people and do works of charity. Most catholics are regular people who dont really care about the Pope. Its the Jesuits you gotta look out for!

Most assembly buildings today are closed much of the time, but back in the day most were open. Today's assemblies are mostly mouth and money.

Depends on what you mean by "church open 24/7". The church building to be open for prayers etc? Some priest to be available to talk with you? Some nun/monk prepared to help you in need?

Right now y'all see this is why I ask cause Catholic have mass that are daily, and people can go to church everyday to go to the mass in Catholic, but I've never been in a Catholic Church so I have no idea what's it's like. I just heard about it, and recently I got tempted to go to a Catholic to get help cause I was needing prayers, but then I realize that they do not have the same faith as Christian so I've abandon about going to Catholic to get some fellowships.

Fellowship, and prayers are important, and when going to church once a week it can get difficult, and it can get hard to ask for prayer, and it can make things difficult to get the thing you really need, and Catholic has Holy Water, it has cross, beads, and all kind of things that people can rely on, but the Christians it seem like we're neglecting a bit while the Catholic are more reliable, and the Christians can be a bit more difficult to depend on.

This one called Christian chat, is. Thank to the moderators.

Catholicism like Judaism like to give the illusion the kingdom of God is of this world as they glory in the venerated flesh of men . Carbon copies except one uses Abraham to our father in heaven while the other uses Peter to our father in heaven .Same principle different idols images. Neither obey the commandment to think not (no brainer) not to call any man on earth father for one is in heaven not seen. Together they make up one of many the "think not" doctrines.

Seeing God is able to make children of spiritual stones needed to make up the spiritual unseen house of God the church .

They simply refuse to not think seeing they must glory in the flesh as venerable ones a form of worship.

Matthew 3:9 And think not to say within yourselves, We have Abraham to our father: for I say unto you, that God is able of these stones to raise up children unto Abraham.

Paraphrased for the Catholics... And "think not" to say within yourselves, We have "Peter to our father": for I say unto you, that God is able of these stones to raise up children unto Peter.

Your best bet, if your need/s be of a 24/7 nature? Would be to join a monastery, of some denomination that has one.
I know, in my case, I asked more then several times, if I should go be a "Monk." Jesuit, Catholic, etc. etc. And, was told no! As in: "You want THEM to teach you?" "Or, you want ME to teach you?" To the which I replied: "Why YOU, of course!"

So, here I am! Called out of the world! A "Church, and monastery of one!"

But, I'm not accepting applications! :p

God is, however! But, I'm not! :)

What do you need in the middle of the night? You don't have to go to church to pray (unless you want to be charged for it by a catholic).

You do have a point. However, if you were to join a sound Bible-based church, surely the pastor or elders would be willing to meet with you at any time should the need arise. Unfortunately, the Catholic church does not represent Bible Christianity, and I believe you can see that. So they could not really help you spiritually.

Only those who believe we are in the last of what is called time will understand the following.

Apostasy abounds.

Something else to consider, when any organization thinking it speaks for our Fahter changes His Word to suit a doctrine created by fleshy man, it is the enemy teaching, not our Father and Savior, Jesus Christ.

This is not a message of despair, it is simply advice to warn those in the faith.

The throne of God is open 24/7 365 days a year.....and the bible tells us to come boldly before said throne to obtain mercy and help in time of need.
