Re: Proper clothing for preaching!
I remember hearing that you should wear your best to church, and also that you should get plenty of rest on Saturday, early to bed, etc., so you'll be at your best at church on Sunday. I remember feeling irritated by that, because they had us for three services a week, and now they wanted to ruin S...

Re: Proper clothing for preaching!
I remember that oh so well. "Dress for the Lord". Your "Sunday's best". It helps everyone sort out the rich from the poor, you know. I'm sure some went to my church to see who's wearing the latest fashion trend. BUT, OH, WATCH OUT.....Sunday and Wednesday evenings were a whole 'n...

Re: Acts 2:38 - I finally understand
Yet, CofC'ers will go to their graves believing faith gets you nowhere, it's not "enough". In their vernacular, it's really nothing, just some kind of mental concept that has little to do with salvation. I've thought that maybe they see it as some kind of mental discipline. But whatever, i...

Re: Why is smoking/vaping a sin?
My opinion seekingthetruth is that believers come in many sin-stricken ways. Overeating for example. Is it not a sin? If it brings ill health to one, is overeating and obesity not also a sin? Those who are "addicted" to Snickers or any other "bad" food, could that not be seen a s...

Re: Online coC debacle
" He is the "comforter", he technically put scripture there, but his interpretations were the truth so yeah. Part of the danger is that he throws out many, many, many bible verses and states his interpretation of said verses with such confidence in him being right. The best word I ca...

Re: Online coC debacle
I don't know regarding potential ownership of weapons, however, due to them being legal in Texas, it wouldn't surprise me if he had one or two. He is also meticulous about the civil law, so much so that a minor transgression puts one in danger of hell (he made a sermon that if one speeds, one must ...

Re: Online coC debacle
Hey there, In terms of fruit, they are scant as they are quite private with their works. I can only assume that they don't make much of an impact within the world, as they are quite hesitant to give money to those outside their church, from what I can tell. With other Christians (non-members), he i...

Re: socks, underwear, and tshirts
Thanks for the report, B.H. Do you know a brand that doesn't just keep getting tighter and tighter?

Re: Online coC debacle
Thank you DonkusKebab for sharing this and welcome here. I've looked at the Church in El Paso website and from what I've seen, I'm glad you're separating from them. The one thing I see absent from reading their main webpage is love. I wouldn't expect to see a hint of love in that group. Secondly, ju...
