Ex-Church of Christ Support Board

I believe for LDS (which also has confirmation) do so at age 7 - aligning with the famous statement 'give me a child until he is seven and he will be mine for life' (or something like that). At that age, the child is assumed to know enough about the faith they are being raised in to be able to 'agre...

If anybody likes comedies.... my daughter worked on this one - it is a Jerry Seinfeld movie (directed and starred) and will be out on Netflix May 3rd . It is about the cereal wars between Post and Kelloggs in the 1960s, and I guess you could think of it as a documentary - of the invention of the Pop...

I was active on this forum years ago. Just logged in and it says the last time I was here was in 2017, so it's been a while. :) This past September my wife and kids finally left the legalistic CoC. Took long enough, lol. Anyway, I made a video sharing a bit of our journey and my thoughts on all thi...

Here is a funny story I found almost certainly false! Guy Woods used to tell an interesting story about Billy Graham, which you probably won’t hear in the media. He suggested that, despite Billy Graham’s erroneous message, he would indeed be responsible for at least one soul going to heaven. Many y...

I learned all my curse words at work, and in English. I KNOW a few in Spanish, and in German (which is simply crude and frankly, might as well be English) but they don't spring to the tip of my tongue at time of need, so to speak. (all or most of the classic English four letter words are Germanic an...

Anyway, yes, the CoC does indeed teach 'the Trinity' but is prone to say 'Godhead' instead, because 'Trinity' sounds too Catholic. HOWEVER, the CoC Trinity (Godhead) addresses only God the Father (OT God) and God the Son (NT God, much nicer), and the HS is fossilized in the Bible, never to be allowe...

Zeek is right. God was God the Father. Jesus was God the Son (only much, much nicer). And the Holy Spirit essentially vanished from human knowledge as soon as the New Testament was written,which was immediately after Jesus' resurrection if not sooner (we have agreed, have we not, that the coc is sha...

Statement of Faith We believe the mission of the Church is to seek the lost and bring them into a relationship with Christ. We recognize the Church is unique since Christ died for no other institution. We recognize there is one Lord, one faith, one baptism, one body, one spirit, one hope and one Go...

It's my impression that the coc (in a rare spirit of peacableness) decided the whole pre millenium/post millenium debate was simply too toxic, and therefore avoid any mention of it whatsoever, unless they ran into it in a class on the Book of the Revelation. I did ask once, and was told 'we don't be...

To be clear, the coc doesn't have particular clear teachings on ANYTHING. That said, CERTAINLY the denomination as a denomination (sorry Charlie, it is indeed a denomination) believes in the Trinity. Certainly I sang (as we all did) 'God in Three Persons, Blessed Trinity' and 'Father, Son and Holy G...
