AZ State Sen. Sylvia Allen is interested in more than legally mandating church attendance,

27. I'm here to say this - I will support Ms Allen's cause 100% IF......

she can show me where in the bible Jesus attended church every week and said that his followers should do the same.

When she shows that to me (and btw no using Paul as the answer, we are not Paulists, we are Christians) then I am on board 100% and I'll even champion the cause here at DU.

But since I seem to know the bible better than this clueless wonder, DUers can rest easy knowing that I'm not going to be pushing all of you into mandatory attendance anytime soon. Jesus actually felt church wasn't some sort of structured building and mandatory attendance anyways but more of the gathering of people in his name, sort of an informal happening that could occur at anytime. Doing good things and helping others could be defined as a church in Jesus' words. More details about that were in the Gnostics but those gnostics were excluded since they went against the nice organized, money-making structure that Paul had help build with the modern day Church.
