Re: Ridiculous reasons for splits....
Having DayCare Kindergarten and Christian Schools in the building has been a huge source of contention.

Re: Mid McKnight Experience?
I attended a mainstream church, no instrumental music but supported missionaries, orphanages, and the CoC colleges like Freed Hardeman.

Mid McKnight Experience?
In the 60's at my parents CoC there was an "evangelist". who came to speak there named Mid McKnight. It was their annual "meeting" week at the church. He was known for bringing large numbers of people forward at the invitation like Jimmy Allen or Billy Graham. He gave his normal ...

Women taking role in Bible classes and 1 Timothy 2:12
I always wondered why in the Sunday school classes and other Bible classes in the CoC I always saw women actively participate in discussions when there are numerous biblical passages that say women are not supposed to speak in the church and to be subordinate to men such as 1 Timothy 2:12. I heard t...

Re: Anti churches
Teresa: Thanks for the interesting information. The stats say Texas and Tennessee have the most coc almost certainly Tennesse has the most per capita, followed by Alabama.

Re: Better treatment at a public library than a "Christian" one
Sometimes you just take things the wrong way, it may have to do with body language, tone of voice. Your story to me doesn't sound being talked down to, just that you took it that way. It happens to me all the time, I think someone is rude and then when I talk to them again I realize I just took thin...

Primitve/Foot Washing/Hardshell Baptist
Another topic I find very interesting and never heard any discussion about is the similarity/differences in what is called Primitive Baptist churches (also referred to as Hardshell, Foot Washing, and other names) and CoC. Their beliefs are almost identical except for the predestination issue. Has an...

Disciples of Christ
Two things I never heard mentioned in CoC were the Disciples of Christ which is part of the original restoration movement, I have never heard them denounced or discussed and I wonder why? In Waynesboro TN there used to be a a CoC either adjacent or just across the street of from a DoC may also be ca...

Snake Handling
One thing I never heard discussed was Mark 16:17–18 which says those that believe will handle snakes and take poison. Almost all biblical scholars think this is a passage added to the Bible by scribes however it is in most translations (some have a note about this). My question is when people say ev...
