Well as for the Sunday thing....Everyday is the "Lord's Day"...but I will go with Paul on this...one esteems one day higher than another, while others see all days the same, let both live them as unto the Lord (paraphrase).  So I won't judge another on their choice to esteem Sunday above other days, nor will I accept their judgment of me as I see everyday as special unto the Lord.

I'm not absolutely dogmatic about the Lord's day attendance thing, but pretty firm with it.  Having said that, and not merely wanting to quibble, but genuinely curious, wouldn't such a view about the matter serve as a slippery slope in the matter of church attendance at all?  In other words, using the same argument you put forth, couldn't somebody essentially say, we are all the church (universal) and I esteem every day given to me by Him, worshipping Him in a variety of ways as I give to the poor, visit the sick, pray, read my Bible daily, etc, etc, etc, so I don't need to visit an organized institution on a given day to attend church (because after all, I *am* the church)?

I guess it could if someone has the need to take it that way...but they could do that anyway.  These are two different issues...one assembling together and the other the day we assemble.  The biblical tradition certainly provides that Sunday is a day of gathering, got no problem with it...but some want to turn Sunday into the "Christian sabbath" ...I got a real problem with that.  But our church meets on Sunday both morning and evening and on Wednesday...along with other small group meetings throughout the week...if we were to offer a Saturday or Friday service in addition and people chose to come to those for whatever reason the assembling would still take place.  I guess I believe we build the fellowship of believers and we meet together as we feel led and whatever day or time that takes place whenever the Body gathers in Jesus Name that is a good thing.

I'll just throw in my 2 cent worth. And just to add, my company went to a continuous operation and I work every other Sunday. {Hopefully I'll retire soon  :)}. With that said the early church met most every day but always on Sunday {The Lord's day}. Thru-out the church age the Church met on Sundays. Our country was formed with Sunday being the Lord's day. Our country has long passed that. Even the Church has now. Some churches/people meet on friday nights after work so they can play golf on Sundays. In my opinion the Lord's day is gone in America and pretty much in the American Church also. I don't find this to be very good thing. But that's just me.

Many people just use Christianity in a way to get ahead.  They say I want to thank the Lord Jesus Christ for....  "Helping me get rich and for winning this game"  Many of these people are Pentecostals and Catholics.  Jesus is their good luck charm.  It is usually the name it and claim it crowd.  The follow Jesus and you will be successful and rich crowd.
