Because one would only be going to church for selfish reasons.If you go to church out of fear of hell as I did for years you are wasting your time.
I can't buy that as spirituality is not being some sort of heavenly encyclopedia.You will learn the answers to all your questions.
Well said, imo, and I agree.But it is necessary to follow the teachings. He knew what He was talking about and phrases like "the Kingdom of Heaven is within you" will have meaning and you will feel the love and truth in life.
