COC History of the Church Timeline

[skitty]

Hello I just joined yesterday. I wanted to know about any opinions or insights about a "Timeline" that makes it look like the COC has been around since the beginning of NT church history. Then it shows all the splits of other denominations through to the present time.Is this real or made up by Coc.Thanks for any thoughts on this.

It's false - and very popular in the coc.

...any opinions or insights about a "Timeline" that makes it look like the COC has been around since the beginning of NT church history...

It's utter BS.

That said, I've seen a similar one that has the Eastern Orthodox church as the main "trunk" of the tree, from which others have split. So at least the COC isn't alone in its delusion.

To answer your original question: it is made up by the Church of Christ denomination.

Here it is, skitty:

My thought about it is that it is myopic, delusional, and just plain wrong.
Clearly, the CoC actually started in the 1800's as a branch off the Stone-Campbell movement.

That must be an old chart. It shows the United Brethren and Methodists as two separate lines. Those two churches merged in 1968 to create the United Methodist Church.

Well since the COC stopped updating things around 1958, that makes perfect sense.

In order to help make that timeline right, you would have to erase the Church of Christ from the beginning and throughout the "wilderness" and have it beginning in the 1800's in the United States.

I think it would be helpful to overlay this timeline with global temperatures in order to notice "patterns". I think it would then be obvious that the growth in the quantity of variants of denominations would track with the alarming and dangerous upswing in Global Warming. You People have been warned over and over about the danger and destruction due to denominationalism but would you listen...NOooooooo!
