Ex-Church of Christ Support Board

I don't know if this is helpful or not, but Paul seemed to understand that to be absent from the body is to be at home with the Lord. You can read Paul's theology on this subject in 2 Cor. 5:6-9 and Phil. 1:21-24.

I agree that how you treat people is most important. Jesus said the two commandments "Love God" and "Love your neighbor as yourself" summed up the whole Law of Moses, and doing the second is the same as doing the first. The apostle Paul said the same thing: For you were called t...

I would recommend the following books by N. T. Wright:

Surprised by Scripture

Simply Jesus

Simply Christian

The Day the Revolution Began

I tried to watch it, but that guy is just too annoying to view for very long. My time is better spent on other things.

Hello Taylor, and welcome to the board. I was raised in a situation similar to yours, but this was back in the 1960s. My family were/are faithful members, and my dad was a very respected elder. Believe me when I say that growing up in this environment was a terrible experience due to many of the chu...

One of the main doctrines that I did not agree with is that religious non-cofc people are "not christians", "not saved", etc; only cofc people were christians. The arrogance of it was appalling to me. I had the same problem with the same doctrine, Ivy. A CoC preacher told me one...
