Re: Stained Glass Windows in CoC?
One cofc I attended for almost a decade, an old wooden building, had a stained glass window of MLK, Jr. A friend there told me about it, but I never actually saw it. I think it had been covered / boarded up, because cofc. I hope that whoever bought the place after our group left was able to save the...

Re: Question about what is taught to CoC preachers?
Farrell Till, the author of The Skeptical Review was a Church of Christ preacher. He said preaching and theology classes were not very difficult at all. It wouldn't surprise me at all if that were true. They certainly don't seem to come out equipped to effectively "pastor" a congregation.

Re: Easter Posting/Zombie Passage Matthew 27:53
I don't remember the following passage ever being mentioned in the church of Christ but the one after is widely. Matthew 27:53; "At that moment the curtain of the temple was torn in two, from top to bottom. The earth shook, and the rocks were split. The tombs also were opened, and many bodies ...

Re: Discussion about Billy Graham?
Pretty much what all of you said. I remember one preacher saying something like "Billy Graham 'knows the truth but refuses to admit it".

Re: What did your coC teach about the Trinity
Seems like I vaguely remember being told the cofc didn't believe in the "Trinity". But I can't offer any more details.

Re: Israel and the 2nd coming.
longdistancerunner, I never heard the cofc of my childhood talk about Israel like that either. I think that's more of an evangelical theory (doctrine) based on Revelation. They (cofc) didn't believe those apocalyptic prophecies applied to today; they had already been fulfilled in the distant past. M...

Re: Changing Church of Christ!
Yes!! Those scriptural cofc wedding "foods". They didn't vary. Did your sister have a cake? Oh, and that punch...I knew it as "Snow on the Mountain" punch. Seven-up, ginger ale, pineapple juice (I think???) and rings of ice frozen with pineapple pieces. With globs of sherbet, wha...
