What is better? To attend church regularly, but not read the Bible every day? Or to be reading the Bible and praying regularly but not attending church? Assuming that you don't do one or the other by choice, not because of locality, or you've moved, etc.
Thanks to PNJai for this poll suggestion...

Reps: 17,645 (power: 27) | | | I voted 4 prayer and bible reading. U don't necessarily have to go to church-but it is best to do so in your relationship w/ God. However I can put up a few arguments on the church going thing too. But since I love the church I attend I am not gonna do that!!! But bible reading and prayer is the whole basis behind the relationship w/ God.

Reps: 66,740,395,808 (power: 66,740,405) | | | THere's a verse in Hebrew (I don't have it at the moment, but I'll try to get it soon) that says not to forsake the assembling together. I believe church, while not necessary to salvation, is an important aspect of one's walk with Christ, and one commanded by God. Obviously, so is prayer and Bible reading. |

Reps: 788,902,431,351,777,664 (power: 788,902,431,351,793) | | | Just prayer and Bible reading...I think one can be a successful Christian just by doing this...sure church might help some but not everyone has time or the oppurtunity to attend church...I don't even know why church is that important really..it's just a place where Christians go...I might be ignorant, I don't know. Anyway, that's my opinion.
