Ex-Church of Christ Support Board

Church of other denominations are cancelling or postponing events, services, etc. due to this virus. Even some C of C's I know are doing that, too. That's refreshing. I remember for years being around C of C folks who had cold or flu symptoms, yet came to church every time the door was open, even s...

I thought it was very interesting. How many cofc women through the years have missed their "calling" as preachers, teachers, or ministers because they weren't permitted to speak? I would guess thousands through the years. In one cofc church I attended, decades ago, there women who were fa...

Even more hours if you throw in the Sunday schools and other indoctrination classes. But on the brighter side, consider all the hours enjoying the yummy Sunday potluck meals ... or not!

King James Bible Jeremiah 6:16 Thus saith the LORD, Stand ye in the ways, and see, and ask for the old paths, where is the good way, and walk therein, and ye shall find rest for your souls. But they said, We will not walk therein. Hardline churches view the "old paths" as the one-and-only...

The COC doctrine that I was taught was like a jigsaw puzzle. Take one verse and see if you can somehow make it fit with another verse. Repeat until you get what appears to you to be a clear picture, but what looks to outsiders to be a mess. :lol: Making one verse "...fit with another verse.&qu...
