@Deeje What do you think of the scriptures I provided for proof it means to gather to the body of The Christ?
1 Corinthians 12:12-27
12 Just
as a body, though one, has many parts, but all its many parts
form one body, so it is with Christ.
13 For
we were all baptized by one Spirit so as
to form one body—whether Jews or Gentiles, slave or free—and we were all given the one Spirit to drink.
14 Even so the body is not made up of one part but of many.
15 Now if the foot should say, “Because I am not a hand, I do not belong to the body,” it would not for that reason stop being part of the body.
16 And if the ear should say, “Because I am not an eye, I do not belong to the body,” it would not for that reason stop being part of the body.
17If the whole body were an eye, where would the sense of hearing be? If the whole body were an ear, where would the sense of smell be?
18 But in fact God has placed the parts in the body, every one of them, just as he wanted them to be.
19 If they were all one part, where would the body be?
20 As it is, there are many parts, but one body.
21 The eye cannot say to the hand, “I don’t need you!” And the head cannot say to the feet, “I don’t need you!”
22 On the contrary, those parts of the body that seem to be weaker are indispensable,
23 and the parts that we think are less honorable we treat with special honor. And the parts that are unpresentable are treated with special modesty,
24 while our presentable parts need no special treatment. But God has put the body together, giving greater honor to the parts that lacked it,
25 so that there should be no division in the body, but that its parts should have equal concern for each other.
26 If one part suffers, every part suffers with it; if one part is honored, every part rejoices with it.
27 Now you are the body of Christ, and each one of you is a part of it.
28 And God has placed in the church first of all apostles, second prophets, third teachers, then miracles, then gifts of healing, of helping, of guidance, and of different kinds of tongues.
29 Are all apostles? Are all prophets? Are all teachers? Do all work miracles?
30 Do all have gifts of healing? Do all speak in tongues
d ? Do all interpret?
31 Now eagerly desire the greater gifts.
1 Corinthians 10:17 Because there is one loaf, we, who are many,
are one body, for we all share the one loaf.
Surely nobody can deny that a body is something with all its parts
together.
Ephesians 4:3-4 3 Make every effort to keep* the unity of the Spirit through the bond of peace.
4 There is one body and one Spirit, just as you were called to one hope when you were called;
Ephesians 2:15-18 14 For he himself is our peace,
who has made the two groups one and has destroyed the barrier, the dividing wall of hostility,
15 by setting aside in his flesh the law with its commands and regulations. His purpose was to create in himself
one new humanity out of the two, thus making peace,
16 and i
n one body to reconcile both of them to God through the cross, by which he put to death their hostility.
17 He came and preached peace to you who were far away and peace to those who were near.
18 For through him we both have access to the Father by one Spirit.
Romans 5:2 through whom we have gained access by faith into this grace in which
we now stand**. And we boast in the hope of the glory of God.
*do not forsake your gathering
TOGETHER.
** Separately???????????????? No!
TOGETHER
Your rebuttal is to quote the LAW and when you do that you are contradicting your own belief that Jesus ended that law for a better law of freedom.
You are not free. You must show up at the Kingdom Hall whenever you can. You must know that not everyone who attends the Kingdom Halls are really for God's will be done. How can you?
