Ex-Church of Christ Support Board

I watch re-runs of Gunsmoke . Plus I like sci-fi movies and gangster movies too .

At my last COC, the preacher (and probably others) told a couple they needed to separate after it was discovered that they had previous unscriptural divorces. I don’t know if the divorces were before or after their baptisms, but anyway I don’t think that NICOC gave people a pass based on the sequen...

Jesus didn't seem to have any problem forgiving Saul (Paul) for rounding up followers of the Messiah and killing them . He stood and consented to the death by stoning Stephen . And yet Jesus chose him to be an apostle to the Gentiles and forgave him (remember he was baptized and had his sins forgive...
