Re: COC Songs
Sounds absolutely awful. Like Jeremy Bentham's "panopticon." Lev Bentham sound quite unusual especially his auto-icon. He had his body preserved and on display. The head has been replaced by an artist's sculpture as the original is disgusting.. He sits in this wooden case visible. He is l...

Re: Early Christianity
One CoC practice that really baffles me is their strange understanding of the communion service.

Re: Ask about Judaism

Re: Early Christianity
bnot The Coc is not the one you read of in the Bible as they say. That is arrogance in and of itself. Actually I'll take that back; when I read about the Pharisees I see characteristics of the Coc. The first century church did not have the Coc "plan of salvation" which is nothing more tha...

Early Christianity
The problem with COC doctrine is the attitude which is condescending towards other faiths. You may find some untruth there. The hardest to detect lies are mixed with truth and defended viciously. If you detect a vicious defense check for lies. For instance you might hear that Baptists don't study th...
