Like I said, i've been bouncing around the religious forums for 20 years under an assortment of different screennames and that name certainly rings a bell and I could well be Mick..

Sorry, I always try to keep my posts easy to understand by being brief and to the point, I shall obviously have to try harder..

Yes mate, I've never been shy about opening up to people..-
"..we were delighted to share with you not only the gospel of God but our lives as well, because you had become so dear to us." (1 Thess 2:8 )
I see your profile's a completely blank..
PS- I sometimes post pics of my street (below) in forums-
But people tell me I shouldn't do that in case some crazy female stalker tracks me down and kidnaps me at gunpoint to keep me chained up in her cellar as her slave.
I know, that's why I do it, I should be so lucky..

Online worship had its benefits. I was quite ill this past Sunday and could not make it to church. As an alternative I was able to watch the service live online.
Online worship can be a real benefit to the aged and infirmed.
I would not want to see online worshipping replacing regular church attendance. We need to be worshipping together. We need that fellowship of one to one contact.
Worshipping in isolation via online is not healthy in my opinion if done for an extended period time.
During COVID my Bible study group continued via zoom. It was just not the same. Same thing with church attendance.
Here's hoping we don't get shut off own again. 🥴

Perhaps those who are genuine Biblical believers found online growth in Him that is superior to what they had?
If we seek Him, we will find Him, IF we seek Him with all of our heart.

Being a Christian is not being alone and thinking Biblical/holy thoughts. It's a lifestyle and attitude that demands and seeks out corporate worship and prayers.
If it desires anything different it's something different than Christianity. All the New Testament commands from Jesus are not fulfilled or followed by avoiding corporate face to face worship.

Online worship and even small group worship as you just described does work well because you have a personal face to face relationship with those you are seeing on the screen.
I know that it's not the same as being in person....and the whole time I just wanted to give everyone a hug and tell them it was going to be OK. But we had to settle for online.
