...except not the Sabbath one EXCEPT that Sunday was the new Sabbath and we kept THAT... I heard this a lot too. But do they? I can't remember one COCer who would say that one should not work on Sunday, and I don't mean only outside-of-the-home, for-profit work, I'm referring to 'work' in the OT se...

The only comment I've heard from a COCer about the Duck Dynasty boys is that they need a haircut and they should stop drinking wine. Not having seen the show, I can't confirm the wine-drinking but I think we all know what their hair looks like.

... What I am saying is that the COC preaches one thing with regard to their buildings--namely that, unlike "the denominations" they don't regard their buildings as holy but understand that they are just "expedients" to fulfilling the command to worship--and practices another th...

That reminds me of how no one really had a problem with having a wedding at a Baptist, Methodist or Catholic Church, but you couldn't dare have your wedding at a COC because "God's house is for worshiping Him, not having weddings". This implied, of course, that their church was "God'...

Don't want to risk going to hell because someone took a bit of cracker and grape juice on a Sunday night while you just sat there and did nothing... :roll: I never understood why, in the COC, the entire church doesn't just do the Lord's supper again on Sunday night. I asked this once in a Bible cla...
