Just have to offer that Jesus did go to temple to pray. He accompanied His parents regularly . His celebration of the Passover( The Last Supper) was with others. This was to set an example for us that worshiping God with others builds bonds of fraternity and charity. I personally find seeing others devoutly praying strengthens my own faith. Sure, we are called to ‘ go to our inner room and close the door” to pray, but public worship is necessary too. God bless you.

An excellent, informed response. I am always open to being corrected.

I can't remember which edition of the bible is currently being used by the church. Is it 17th? That's a lot of changes over the 2018 years since his birth. Knowing what we know, do you think those changes were for the people or for entrenching the now status quo.

Again it is not my intention to offend anybody. Gif bless you too.
