    "Easter's not a Christian holiday"?

    In the church of Christ we have Elders who are in charge of their local Church. Each Church is run by their Elders and therefore could have different views on "Traditions". But you will find them pretty much the same of Doctrine. As with others we may vary on things like version of the Bible...

    Tulsa Workshop

    It was another Great Workshop. Many good speakers. Many good topics! But you are right about Sweet. He should not have been invited to speak. He made a lot of people mad.

    Church of Christ???

    They are doing that - one church at a time. You might want to check out this webpage if you're interested in reading up on the ICOC - www.Reveal.org - that site is made up of ex-ICOC members.

    Restoration Movement?

    The RM is about having a "Pattern" or a "Seed" or a "Map" if you will. By following the principals one is able to produce the same thing today that was produced in the first Century...Christians. That's what the founding Farthers were trying to do. Everyone before them had tried to "Reform"...

    What do you think about Instrumental Music in Worship?

    My guitar doesn't have a soul. B.B. King's guitar doesn't even have a soul. If anyone's guitar had a soul it would be his, but it doesn't.

    Was Jesus Irreligiously Logical?

    Oh - so Jesus said that and knowingly confused the masses for 2000 years until medical science could discover that fact ??? If this was what He was referring to it would have made sense at that time for Him to say "born of blood and spirit" but that is not what He said. The correct answer to...

    Do you believe Baptism is essential for Salvation?

    Or rather Jesus saves us through baptism. Remember, it isn't the baptism that saves - its Jesus who saves us through it.

    The Enemy

    Hrmm - I disagree. There is a difference between being demonized and being demon possessed. The people I read about in the Bible who were possessed didn't seem to have a choice.

    Insight on demon possession

    I'm not sure about actual posession, but symptoms of demonization are apparent. Demonization is different from posession. With demonic posession the demon takes over a person's free will and lives through that person with total control. I really do not believe demonic posession is prevelant in...

    Insight on demon possession

    :amen: Thats what I meant when I referred to it as demonization instead of demon possession. Demon possession is blatent and "in your face." Demonization is Satan clevery gaining a foothold in people's lives therefore causing them to sin without blatenly showing himself to them causing...
