My nephew is hard core C of C (it's how he was raised) and I saw an argument on FB recently with a young woman who was arguing that Christmas carols are "unscriptural". How pathetic, for such a young, attractive woman who could be out doing so many things with her life, and having fun...b...

Much meat here. Thank you for sharing. The Rich Young Ruler is interesting. Wealth will not save you. That is because a resurrected person has no wealth or standing unless Jesus gives it to you. He is your interface to God. You can approach the father through him. His sacrifice on the cross covers s...

It might be best if this takes time. This means the less stable elements may be let down slowly. We may see some violence but I hope to see less. Anyway we still have to put up with Trump for 2 months. I hope not another 4 years. ENA, my DH and I were just discussing this. My thought is this: let i...

People that do not help others ever get what they deserve. With one exception: the President of the United States. Maybe someday. He claims to be a Christian. He is not. He will get his. There is a certain amount of karma in this world such that you can create problems for yourself. Here is an exam...

People that do not help others ever get what they deserve. With one exception: the President of the United States. Maybe someday. While this link is not political.

Even the Jewish law has tithes for the widows and orphans. Jesus stressed that taking care of others was important. Even if a child is not saved there is no guarantee that he won't later be. You might be the agent that helps them to survive. God uses human agents to help others. That is one of the w...

I had a thought when I saw this topic...that scripture about "making into laws the commandments of men", something like that. Y'all will know. I think the musical instrument taboo is that kind of thing; a "commandment of men". It is. God is a spirit that would seem foreign to a ...

There's a reason why folks ask - even Christians - why God is so DIFFERENT in 'the Old Testament': because really, 'God' IS different - different enough that some early Christians wanted to excise the Jewish scriptures wholesale, on that very idea (but it was too weird to try to explain 'messiah' a...

All Christians sin. I wrote that because in the CoC you were told to be perfect. That is not correct because no human is perfect. Jesus paid for your sin if you accept him. The purpose is to free you to operate in the world. That I did not hear this in the CoC. It is fairly standard otherwise. You ...

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. The Bible does not discuss freedom of religion. You either worship God or face ...
