What does The Bible say about assembly?

Answer 1

Hebrews 10:24-25 (KJV)

Answer 3

Yes, unitedly meeting together is a command.

At Hebrews 10:24+25 (ESV) we are told:". . . let us consider how to stir up one another to love and good works,not neglecting to meet together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another, and all the more as you see the Day drawing near", and that all in the Christian congregation should "...agree with one another ...and that there be no divisions among you, but that you be perfectly united in mind and thought. "(1 Corinthians 1:10 NIV) God has always directed his people to meet together (Deuteronomy 31:12) to listen and learn, and meeting together in the congregation, today, is the one place a Christian can get an 'interchange of encouragement' from fellow Christians (Romans 1:11+12), as the 'end draws near'.
