Is the Church Irrelevant?

LOL, well that's just rich. Considering how legalistic you are about everything, I'm assuming that you're involved in some IFB circus somewhere, of which I want no part of.

1 John 2:19
They went out from us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would no doubt have continued with us: but they went out, that they might be made manifest that they were not all of us.

Who was the author of Hebrews' target audience? Was Jews who were under Roman persecution and were tempted to go back to animal sacrifices, or was it Christians who were skipping church because they wanted to sleep in on Sunday?

I'm hoping at least one person can be honest about this.

So was he encouraging them to maintain the temple and not forsake their previous system or not?

Acts 2:46

And continuing daily with one accord in the temple, and breaking bread from house to house, they ate their meat with gladness and singleness of heart,

I exhorted you to show up to a physical meeting of believers and that makes me a legalist??

What can I say?
