I don't believe that to mean that at all. If a person makes it a practice not to get together with other believers (church, fellowship or otherwise) then maybe this verse needs to be pulled out, but to use it to say everyone needs to be there every time the doors are open is over the top and an extreeme view the the intent of this verse.

My job dictates that I can't be at church very often, I'm lucky to get to 2 services in a month, more commonly I can only make 1 service a month. Am I forsaking the assembling? I think not. Do folks who miss Church every so often because they take some fun time forsaking the assembling? Again, I think not. I feel that if a person is at least getting together with other Christians on a regular basis (even if it is just a dinner every couple of weeks) and discusses the works and wonders of God, I don't see how that person could be forsaking the assembling because they are in this case even if they are not actually in church. There is a wide range of reasons that some Christian either can't or don't go to church very often, but that doesn't mean that they are forsaking the assembling...although that is often the case with some people.

I hear you there.
Growing up we averaged about 4 (probably closer to 4 and a half) services a week. On top of a very difficult time in school I had virtually no time to my self because there was always church. You simply went to church. Next to God, church was... well, god! To this day I hear some of ye ol pentecost favorite hymns and I literally cringe in horror and bad memories. Not unlike the negative reaction that famed horror novelist Clive Barker said he had went we went through the "It's a Small World" exhibit at Disney Land.

Yes, "Sake not the assembling" was pounded nearly as much as "touch not mine anointed". "Anything that could be used to keep the sheep in line!" as Bro Ogatt would no doubt say.

Re: Sunday Night Church

Apostle Paul was a control freak and a cult leader when he wrote Heb.10:25.
The position of the Tabernacle was in the center of the camp not in the back forties.
I am glad after 40 years I still am glad when they say unto me.
More church NOT less is what this generation needs.

Re: Sunday Night Church

We still have Wednesday night, Sunday morning and Sunday night services....plus several nights a month of special type services of revival, missionaries, or gospel sings.

If I had to pick one service as a favorite of the main 3......I'd choose Sunday Nights! :)

Amen Brother!

My husband and I are usually searching for another place to go visit for church if for some reason any of our services are cancelled! :)

I don't have to have an organized service at the church to get together with other Christians to encourage and be encouraged. I don't need to go to church twice on Sunday and once or twice during the week to do what the writer of Hebrews was encouraging.
