Thank you for pointing that out.

However, none of the responses brought the lengthy section of 1st Corinthians regarding the meeting of the church to bear on the situation. This passage deals specifically with the gathering of the church.

I can't find any good answers for this passage, other than just accepting that the majority of modern churches have ignored it.
