Church of Christ

[Magenta]

I've heard Roman Catholics point out that 'catholic' means 'universal' so they must be the true Church, yet the Church, the body of Christ (Colossians 1:18,24) is made up of all born again Christians/Believers and is not simply the Roman Catholic institution.

Small "c" catholic means universal, but "Catholic" certainly does not.

I grew up in the RCC and they taught the part of the apostles creed that says, “I believe in the holy catholic church..” means the RCC. I have no problem referring to “catholic” as “universal” but it’s not limited to the RC institution.

The sad thing is that some relate "Christian" exclusively to "Roman Catholic"

Yes. It bothers me when there is any mention of "the church" in the media, they are nearly always referring to the RCC.

The TRUE church of Christ Jesus is the remnants of His seed. They became son of God not in flesh, but in spirit. Those people you find them here. In Revelation 12:17 and 14:12.

I am just curious.

Is there anyone here that is/are members of the Church of Christ?
I am a member, and I just wondered who else was. Just trying to touch bases and get a feel of this forum is all.


OHHHHHHH!!! And to those who may think that the CoC thinks we are the only ones going to Heaven...well, some may think that way, but I dont. I am not one to judge others for not believing the same way I do. So I really, do not want this thread to turn in to a church bashing thread like I have seen some people do that Catholics. Thank you. Amen.

No one can think their way or believe their way into heaven .

This is true.

Anyone call can their church the "Church of Christ", and that does not make it any more Holy than my big toe.

The Church of Christ is a Christian church. It's foundation is Jesus. If a church was founded by man...let's say Henry VIII then the church is not founded under scriptual context.

The Church of Christ was founded on scriptual context. They are NOT a cult.

What is the statement of faith at the coc you attend?

It's very easy to deal with this kind of thing。

Matthew
Chapter 18：21-22

21 Then came Peter to him, and said, Lord, how oft shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? till seven times?

22 Jesus saith unto him, I say not unto thee, Until seven times: but, Until seventy times seven.

Greetings everyone, the OP of this thread was written in 2011, and the author of the OP hasn't posted here at CChat for 4 years, nor has she visited here for two years, so it's doubtful that you will be receiving a reply from her anytime soon, just FYI. As they say however, hope springs eternal.

A statement of faith lets people know which CoC you are referring to. No need for a debate just discussion.

What does 1611 KJV say about denominations? This is important.

denominations aren’t what defines us there’s just the one church which is every believer on earth no matter which pew they sit in

Denominations only show us how divided the church is. And create differences in doctrine to argue about.

welcome to cc of you want a good feel for this place I would say avoid the Bible discussion forum and look
Into the fellowship ones

as long as you know Jesus as your Lord and savior God bless you I have been to only one COC and they are different not allowing music to be played but that is their call.

That makes that denomination suspect. After all when John was invited to look into Heaven He saw......Harpers harping on their harps. Isn't that music?

Does the COC maintain that music while rejoicing of the Lord is wrong?

We must remember denominations are only there to give an individual a self made accolade and memorial for his opinion. Often That is NOT what the Bible says.
