    coC and Christmas

    I guess the same people who put the Easter Bunny with Easter! I still celebrate Christ's ressurrection though. I know I shouldn't because the Bible doesn't say "you should make Christ's ressurection a holiday." I can't contain my praise and joy about Chris'ts birth and ressurrection! I am...

    Okay, DRA, obviously this won't get us anywhere. I know you are a good guy, and thanks for the PM -it was nice. I am firm in my psotition of this, as are you. We don't agree, but we can still love each eachother in Christ, so I am done debating you. I hope you are filled with peace this...

    coC and Christmas

    DRA, I like the way you can take any passage from anywhere in the Bible and appl it to NOT celebrating Christ's brith, but when someone else takes a verse and applies it, they are out of context. Examples ---Colossians 3:17, Matthew 7:13-14, 1 Timothy 4:1-3, and basically al lthe other you...

    coC and Christmas

    You know, the early church didn't meet in buildings either. No where in the bible does it say we should meet in buidlings on Sunday Mornings. If you go to church services on a Sunday morning, in a church bulding, you too are following tradition. So is that tradition less worse than...

    coC and Christmas

    I kind of had to chuckle when I read Colssians 3:17 "And whatever you do, whether in mind or in deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him." Well DUH, that is why I celebrate CHristmas! CHristmas is worshiping Christ, giving thanks to God through...

    coC and Christmas

    I have NEVER heard of any COC or Christian church not celebrating Christ's birthday on Christmas. That is the strangest thing. He is the reason for the season. Who cares if that was "the day" he was born. Do those churches celebrate Easter as when Christ arose from the dead?? Maybe we...

    Sarah Palin 4 Prez in 2012?

    Makes you wonder where we will be in four years. If Obama does a really bad job as president, I think Sara Pain could have a shot, I mean chance at running and winning. I could see myself voting for her. It is really scay to me though, what this world will be like in four years knowing...

    A brother cries for help and you ignore him shameful

    Very judgemental. I read and did not respond becasue I had no clue what to say to him. I did pray for him. I also told my minister who said he would pray also. YOu judged people by "not responding." That is ridiculous.

    Please pray for me

    We all have/do things we are not proud of. The important thing is that you are recognizing it, asking for forgiveness, and relying on God to help you change your ways. I will pray for you.

    Some questions about your denomination

    I was born in and raised in the CoC/Christian Church. I have never been to a CoC that didn't use instruments. I didn't evn know they exsisted until I went to bible college. For me, the music is the most moving part of the service (the entire worship service is important -I really LOVE music...

    Non Denom Question

    I feel compelled to reply to this. I was born and raised in the Christian Church/Church of Christ. I even went to bible college and my husband went to seminary afterward. We moved to our current location about 4- 4 1/2 years ago and have been struggling finding a church here. There are two...
