I am writing a religious exemption to work, they are challenging those who write it by saying “well your faith or your pastor/priest accept the vaccine” and my true argument to that is that a priest or a place of worship does not define my personal relationship with god. The priest and church do help me when I feel down or forget, but the do not define the way I communicate to the one and only.
I need a Bible verse (or multiple useful ones too) that explains that Me and God is not Me -> Church -> Priest -> God.
For where two or three gather in my name, there I am with THEM.
But when I pray, on my own, God is still with me and doesn’t not necessarily mean I need a group to pray, but it can help.
Both are true
