Re: The cOC loathed "attend the church of your choice"
I had a church of christ preacher and another nod in agreement that freedom of religion was umbiblical If a coc person ever came to power and could do so he should shut down other denominations and punish those not coc. Most of the New Testament does not talk about alternative views. Paul did lash ...

Re: Forbidding instruments
I once spoke with a CofC zealot who told me that David was gay, a queer who went around in a loin cloth playing the flute, leading people behind him much like the Pied Piper. David killed a man because he wanted the woman. She was Solomon's mother. He lost the child of his adultery. Probably does n...

Re: Forbidding instruments
Why can you go to the old testament to get authority to pay preachers and elders per I Corinthians but magically it is unacceptable to go to the old testament to get your instrument? In the Old Testament the Levites were paid out of a tithe. Widows and orphans were taken care of by a special tithe ...

Re: Forbidding instruments
In the days of Covid Church is at home. You definitely would not want to be one cup in this timeframe. Watch out, ena, your're stepping on the toes of all those evangelicals who think you're taking away their religious freedom! It's pretty dumb if the person next to you has covid. The virus stays a...

Re: Forbidding instruments
I actually had a CofC guy tell me, after I pointed out John hearing musical instruments playing in his visions in the book of Revelation, that musical instruments were approved by God during Old Testament times, then forbidden by God during the church age, but will be approved again by God in heave...

Re: Forbidding instruments
What if God says on judgement day, I never told you to sing exclusively, I only encouraged you to sing. Teachers in Churches of Christ use their (un-scriptural) rules about "CENI" (command, example, and necessary inference) in order to say that the "silence of the scriptures" am...

Re: The bible is like an 80,000 piece puzzle
JESUS introduces The HOLY SPIRIT in John 14:16,17, "And I will pray the Father, and He will give you another Helper, that He may abide with you forever--the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it neither sees Him nor knows Him; but you know Him, for He dwells with you and w...

Re: Prayer Requests
SolaDude, I was watching them intently. At one point, the man placed both of his hands under her shirt. At first, I was so repulsed at what I had just seen that I looked away for a moment, but then within a few minutes a man came up to him and an exchange was made. One of the ways the man is using ...

Re: Typical! "RIP"
I know former Catholics and practicing Catholics. I have many problems with the Catholic faith not from the CoC perspective. I do not believe that you can truly understand the nature of Christ. Jesus was human but very special. The depictions of the Crucified Christ are wrong. The heal bone was nail...
