Re: CoC logic

This link is a real good example of CoC logic. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SYflJaw1jY0 What specific illogical thing or things are you referring to, Ena? CENI is used to ok opposites. One as sin and one as OK. You sin if you miss Sunday communion. No where in the Bible can the breaking of bread...

Re: Hello!

Thank you, your kind words mean a lot. I just feel glad that I’m no alone :) I trusted those that told me lies. It's that simple. When you are a child you do not have a basis for comparison. Jesus is much more gentle than you have been told. He is sees the way it really is and your reaction to it. ...

Re: Hello!

I am afraid the whole discipling stuff would have been very attractive to me at a time in my life. Glad I missed it, and glad you are out. It is very attractive. You end up being a disciple under a person who has supposedly got it together. How many people got it together in the CoC. The old Testam...

Re: Hello!

Everyone here has been so kind and helpful I really appreciate it :) There are things that I don't talk about because of identificati...

Re: Hello!

So I was a kingdom kid, born and raised in the church. I got baptized at 17 and went to become a leader of the campus group. That’s when the responsibilities just piled on and on and struggling with depression while trying to be perfect enough for the church drove me to a mental hospital. I felt li...

Re: Public shaming

My region was awful with this. One time two campus church members slept together and the girl got pregnant and they had an entire lesson on why they had sinned and addressed them both by name (while they were in the room too!) any time someone had fallen into deep sin they would tell all of us, add...

Re: Female COC preacher

I never was a big Paul fan myself...especially after I began to think for myself instead of internalizing everything the cofc taught me. I write them off. They know too little. They also create more sin where there is none and sin where they contradict and add to the Bible. Instrumental music is a ...

Re: Charity story/question

I have an idea why so many denominations and churches lean right or far right. They harper about abortion being a great evil to oppose but I think it is that churches themselves own or partially own businesses. I read a book written back in the early 70s called The Religion Business. The author was...

Re: Charity story/question

It's amazing how CofC people scream legalism, "following" every dot and period of the law in the new testament to guide their every move, making sure that whatever they do or say is "scriptural". What scripture, pray tell, is the basis for this justification of selfishness? Ther...
