Another reason why Christians go to church

Do any Christians disagree?

The church holds people accountable. Most people in an individual church know each other outside the church, so they need not go to church to prove their goodness to other members. Do you have any idea what worshiping God is?

Christians join you in this community so why do you not join in on Sunday we would be glad to have you.

God loves those who believe and those who do not and the same goes for me, you have no choice in this matter. That puts the matter of total free will to rest.
