Ex-Church of Christ Support Board

I don' know if it was designed that way, but I do think it provides comfortable landing spot for people with OCD tendencies, and anxiety.

We were always ALWAYS taught that the church was founded in AD 33 and that was carved on the cornerstone of the building. Also that the church had ALWAYS existed throughout history (without any evidence of that whatsoever). I NEVER heard the names 'Alexander Campbell' or 'Barton Stone' until I was m...

I just don't see how they can get away with such claims. Isn't Jesus' death on the cross supposed to wipe away ALL sins? Isn't baptism into Christianity supposed to make a person entirely (spiritually speaking) new like a baby? This no divorce stuff is VERY THEOLOGICALLY SPEAKING CRAP THEOLOGY, and ...

Oh sure - and my husband and I went straight out for pizza as soon as it was over. This is ALMOST (but not quite) as popular a Jewish custom as Chinese food on Christmas Day.

Nothing like carbs after a week long carb fast.

The Dead Sea documents were (are) a treasure trove of ancient COPIES of earlier texts - and since...

And now - for the Christians who seem to worry about this a lot - remember please, Jewish days begin at sundown. So 'the first night' is the BEGINNING of the day of Nisan 15th - the night of the full moon. When the Temple stood, the staff there was busy ALL DAY on the 14th - the day before Passover ...

In addition to the first seder (tonight) which I am hosting here at home with our neighbors (not Jewish), the synagogue is hosting a catered seder for the second night, for people who either don't have one at home, or want to celebrate with their synagogue family. It's Reform, so it is VERY short, a...
