So, do we count the temple that was erected by Ezra and Herod's temple as one and the same??? Exactly how does that work? I thought they were distinctly different structures.

Agricola, I've been pondering something lately and would like your thoughts on it. As I understand it, the Ark of the Covenant was never restored to the second or third temple in Jerusalem following the return from exile. So, that being the case, what did the priests do about the blood offering that...

What we knew as the "traditional" coC is vanishing at a pretty good clip. I'd give it maybe another 25 years and there will be few if any groups calling themselves coC that we would recognize from our experience with that name. The reality is that it is either evolve or go extinct. Those w...

I was beat for raising my hand when the song leader asked if anyone had any songs they wanted to sing on a Wednesday night because ...

Ivy, let's get together with moogy and see what we can do to convince them to all go back to Tennesee. :lol: :lol: :lol: That sounds good, but...zeek. I wouldn't want to do that to him. It's all good. It wouldn't change much. Still, in this part of the world there's a coC meeting house every few mi...

I heard here that Tennessee is basically the CofC Vatican. LOL!! My people lived in Tennessee, then moved to Texas. I'm sure they brought the cofc with them when they moved out here. Oh, absolutely, Nashville, was the vatican of the old time coC and there was a line of Popes men line Batsell Baxter...
