If I’m traveling for work and there’s no meeting around for 300 miles, why shouldn’t I go out to an a Evangelical Church not breaking bread but to enjoy fellowship with other Christians and worship the Lord? I’ve been told that it’s better not to go anywhere. I feel like this is saying I have no need of these other members of Christ’s body. 1 Corinthians 12:14-27. Which option is better? Going to a church or spending Sunday morning alone with the Lord?
Why is it when a brother and sister in Christ come from another meeting room they are not allowed to break bread with us?
Is circumcision required? It doesn’t seem to be emphasized at all in the New Testament in comparison to the Old Testament. Is it because it is not required under the New covenant like baptism is?
If someone decides they no longer feel they should break bread, what is the proper procedure the assembly should follow? Should you treat them as if they were put out of fellowship? Would they still be able to attend conferences/Young peoples ?
Did Adam know he was sinning when he ate the fruit Eve gave him?
What does it mean to “hear” God? How do I know God is talking to me?

On the leading of Spirit in the assembly meetings:
What verses do we have that demonstrate that we have the leading of the spirit in the assembly meeting, and specifically, in the breaking of bread
As a young brother, how do I perceive the leading of the spirit and differentiate the leading of the spirit versus my own thoughts? Is it better to err on the side of speaking when I might not have the spirit’s leading or not speak when I do?
During the breaking of bread, can thinking unrelated thoughts negatively affect the atmosphere of the meeting? And, how can one stay focused?
I sometimes get distressed thinking about all the lost who will go to hell. I know why, and I know that none of us deserves to be with the Lord in heaven, but I still really struggle with the thought of anyone spending eternity in hell. Sometimes it brings me to tears. Is this wrong?
If a person is a believer and not at the Lord’s table, is that sin? Does James 4:17 apply to this?
The lord has asked us to do it, and we need to obey. Fear holds back. Sin holds back. Different situations.
Why did God allow Satan in the Garden knowing he would tempt us? Furthermore why would he put the tree in our grasp?
Can you clarify the dangers of legalism? Are the following not examples of legalism? Frowning upon:

Socializing with those not in assembly
Why do girls wear head coverings in an address and Q&A when they are not assembly meetings? I understand the thought that we should be prayerful during meeting, but we’re told to pray without ceasing so that reason would bring you to wear one all the time.
Can you please give a brief outline for the book of Revelation? How far through the prophecies there are we?
I am ashamed of myself for this, but I have trouble sharing the gospel with others. I know that according to Romans 1:16, I should be ready and willing to share it. Do you have any suggestions?
