Second time, try to figure it out. The first Christians met in houses in the beginning before particular buildings were built for worship. The "Church" is a group of like believers who gather together, assemble to worship God keeping God's 3rd Commandment, it has been revealed this assembly of first Christians took place on Sunday, the first day of the week.

Do you gather with fellow Christians of the same belief on Sunday, the Lord's Day?

Yes, and sometimes also on like a Wednesday, and sometimes we'll also gather on Tuesday for Bible study, and other times we'll gather on different days. All depends on when people can get together. There is no specific day to worship God. We're supposed to worship Him in spirit and in truth 24/7 at all times, in all locations.
"All of you, obey your bishops as Jesus Christ obeyed the Father, and obey the priesthood as you would the Apostles... Wherever the bishop is, there must be the congregation, just as wherever Jesus Christ is, there is the Catholic Church." (Ignatius of Antioch, ~AD 107.)
You're talking about rituals and traditions.
Eph 4:5, One Lord, one faith, one baptism....so...one Church.
Jesus was against man-made rules
Roman Catholics trinity of Father, Mother and Son worship goes all the way back to Nimrod, Semiramis and Tammuz. Family worship, blech.

This is the biggest problem with the Catholic Church. They completely defy the teachings of Jesus, who said that HE was the mediator to god. The above edict allowed for all the evils of the Catholic Church, like penances and indulgences.
The Catholic Church is the ultimate Anti-Church, thus Anti-Christ.

Somehow i doubt your lord wants you to be catholic, or them for that matter...
I'd also add that assuming they will somehow spontaniously convert to your religon is almost laughable... especially considering all three of them seem to be against Catholicism
Not to mention Jesus himself was against religions
Pardon my intrusion by the way, but i couldn't resist replying to that statement... I tried, i failed...
the temptation was just too great

Hi,
You're always here, you're are drawn to the Catholic threads. Me too.
You are limiting God because you're human.
Im drawn to all christian threads because i see the error in a lot of their doctrine.
Don't we both love the same Jesus?

I thought you said Christ's teachings were flawless?
Sometimes, lonewolf, I really wonder about your theological/religious l education. You seem to have a very limited knowledge of "Christian" dogma (and also to be having a faith crisis).
His are...
Christian doctrine is not...
Yes i know you say the entire bible is based on Jesus... but it doesn't mean all Christian theology is accurate according to him
They worship the "Queen of Heaven" whom they say is Mary. Mary who is supposed to be God's wife, and His mother, because christians believe Jesus is the physical incarnation of God.
The only difference between you and catholics is that YOU don't worship Mary directly...
