What is assembling ourselves together?

During the last 18 months or so we have been told by authorities not to gather to worship. The Word guides us to continually assemble to encourage one another in the faith.

I ask the question, “does a phone or video conversation count as assembly”? What would the apostle Paul say?

Words save us from judgment, The Gospel is based in Words, the Almighty sent His Son (called the Word) to earth to communicate with mankind with incredible words.

The exchange of words is a major part of gathering. Honest transparent dialogue is also a huge part of assembly.

If you then share your heart and pray for each other you are meeting the intent of what the apostle Paul's directed, this is my assessment.

Physical meet and greet is way better but if not available video or phone is of great value.
