Ex-Church of Christ Support Board

I have never heard of this happening but thinking back I wonder if it has been brought up or even attempted. Why hasn't the CoC made a new translation of the Bible which would clear up some of the controversies that have existed. A lot of people have been accused of being confused because they do not understand what the Greek words really meant and thus acquire false ideas. It would seem a correct translation of the KJ bible would clear this up. Anyone heard of someone bringing this up?

Way to open a can of worms. ARE PEW CUSHIONS SCRIPTURAL OR NOT???

Seriously. The CoC I belonged to spent three years on that, to the point of NEARLY splitting, because there was no command or example for pew cushions, so they probably weren't scriptural.

(compromise: they put cushions on HALF the pews)

Remember - to quote my mother:
Church is not SUPPOSED to be fun! (or apparently, comfortable)

A Church of Christ preacher did issue his own translation of the Bible. I can't remember his name and it was many years ago.

I wonder if he actually did that, whoever he was. Seems like that would be a mammoth undertaking that would take a full lifetime.
He'd have to be fluent in biblical languages, as well as being quite the scholar and historian.

I'm going to speculate that he just rewrote a few chapters to say what he thought they should say according to cofc theology / doctrine / dogma.

Wait, BH. Could this be what you referred to?

Didn't the early church members have to sit on rocks and/or hard furniture? There you go. Example / necessary inference. No cushions for y'all!!

The link don't work

It must be a false link that does not go all the way back to Pentecost 33 AD.

No, I think the man's last name was Wharton or Wherley. I can't remember.

I knew a W.L. Wharton in Texas. Was it him?

The King James Version was good enough for Paul and it's good enough for me!
