Is formal religion a ''must'' for you (as in attending church etc) or do you follow your  own moral dictates?

i would like to believe that there is only ONE true church and its the restoration of church as directed by Jesus Christ through joseph smith. however when i began to see wickedness among the members and i was being persecuted, i realized that maybe there are secret combinations. so i stopped going. i was faithful for 20 years, i stopped going for ten years. i went back and found the same thing and i began to realize i could not survive in the church, so i keep sharing my testimony hopeing others will believe and do much better than i did.

Right now no one is going to Church?  But I do feel we need spiritual guidance just be sure who you follow.  Most churches are glad to send young men into the endless wars of political leaders.

I follow my own moral dictates!

That said, I still go to church worship. I need a teacher and also need to share with others who I believe are lovers of righteousness.

That said there is not a denomination of Christianity out there that is 100% right on all of its teachings. Some times they stress things that were not important to Christ to the point I can no longer abide with them. Also some stress actions more then a belief structure to an extreme and others the opposite.

We all depend on the grace of God.

So some times I stay only because it is a way to show the grace I was given to those who need it.

Church attendance is generally a must and a person can get more out of church attendance by way of reciting daily and with care the rosary of the Virgin Mary.

Having any "religion" without a church is just fumbling around.

It's not just about moral dictates. It's about eternal life and salvation.

I have a church that teaches the King James Bible and preaches the true Gospel.  So I love it.  Here is the truth: The Lord Jesus Christ is God. Nobody can be good enough to avoid hell. The truth is that death leads to immediate heaven or hell, depending only on whether the person believed on the Lord Jesus Christ, or not. The truth is that the Lord Jesus Christ loves you and wants to bless your life freely :) Most of all, Jesus wants you with Him forever, and not in hell.

Believing on the Lord Jesus Christ means being forgiven all sins past and future and means going to heaven. The truth is that every belief except one will lead to eternal torment in the lake of fire for every person. Because nothing pays for our sins except the death and blood of Jesus, the sacrifice of Jesus that is already accomplished by Him . Jesus loves you! The truth is that the Lord Jesus Christ is God, and Jesus died on the cross to pay for all of our sins in full, and then Jesus was buried, and then Jesus resurrected from the dead. Nothing else pays for our sins, not works, not deeds, not religions. So the only way to heaven and to avoid hell, is by believing on Jesus for eternal life (John 6:47), without adding any of your own works (Romans 4:5). Believe in the Lord Jesus Christ to take you to heaven, and you will be in heaven, no matter what, guaranteed. That easy, thanks to Jesus! Tell Jesus that you thank Him that you will be with Him in heaven

I live in the real world.

For me, no.  I don’t have any religion, I just follow Jesus.
