    the church -It's NOT a building made by mans hands

    I've attended a couple of "house churches", and my big problem is the lack of understanding that a "house church" is meant to be reflective of the "Church" and what God had originally established as the "Church" made up of different groups of people with different roles and whatnot. Christians...

    Is Facebook the norm for developing friendships?

    I wouldn't use it to develop intimate relationships, for sure. However, I have many family members and friends I've made from other countries and states in the U.S that I keep up with using Facebook. It's much cheaper than trying to buy a calling card. Skype and google video talk are two another...

    List Your Seminary Here

    After I graduate from a secular university, I plan on moving to Colorado with my fiance (he will be my husband when we move) and attending Bear Valley Bible Institute. He wants to go through their masters program, and I want to go through their women's program but include some classes from the...

    What are we restoring?

    Growing up in the Cofc, my understanding has been what we're trying to restore is what Jesus was teaching and by the authority of Christ, what the apostles and other male Church leaders in the Bible were teaching and practicing at the time after Christ's death. We want to rid ourselves of...

    Been away a while, things have changed

    I am a part of the Cofc group, but I come and go on this forum. I would say my beliefs are a mixture of apostolic (think Apostolic Assembly of Jesus Christ) and Church of Christ teachings now. Both believe baptism is a part of the path to salvation. I still won't attend a worship with...

    Has God ever asked you to do something you dont want to do?

    I've been there. I cut off an entire group of people because it was the best thing I needed to do to grow as a Christian. It was difficult, but with the support of the Church, I managed to do it. Now, I have deep Christian relationships with people I know I'll never have to cut ties with because...

    Eliminating the Sunday Morning Sermon

    Considering 1st century Christians met in houses and not collectively unless it was needed, I see no problem with reorganizing the worship service. The whole point of gathering on the first day of the week wasn't for hearing a sermon anyway. It was and is still about the communion. You could...

    College Students

    University of Phoenix is credible. I know many people who have gotten their master degrees there, two people who work in admissions, and a professor.

    Is education worth it anymore?

    I think it depends on what you get degree in, what kind of degree it is, and the kind of financial aid you can receive if you do decide to attend a college (4-yr or 2-yr). I know many people going to grad school and many people who have graduated with secure jobs. It also depends on what you do...

    Why are Christian students ridiculed in secular colleges?

    I attend the univeristy of oklahoma, and it's interesting because even though Oklahoma is located in the Bible Belt, it's a highly diverse and secular public university as it should be since it is a public college and anybody should be able to attend. Since it is a rather large university...

    Morals of students at non-bible colleges

    My amount of social interaction with people on campus is limited at the university I'm at, but I don't feel too frustrated about it. I think it's because my closest friends are people who are Christians even though they don't attend the college I'm attending, but I'm able to find time to spend...

    What does your name mean?

    In Latin, it means rock. In Greek, it means pebble. Anyways, my name is the feminine form of Daniel. Therefore, Daniela= "God is my Judge".

    Genuine Friendship

    Self study is good! It's good to see a woman that is willing to study the bible for herself. I don't think very many women do especially if they've grown up in a Christian home. I'm not saying that Sunday sermons are bad, but sometimes one's faith can become a tradition and suddenly, growth...

    Thinking of Switching Major from Psych to Bible

    you could possibly minor in bible? I have a roommate with a learning disability, and she's doing that because she found herself in a similar situation where she found passion in another area besides what she originally came to the university to study.

    Thoughts on Choosing the Right One?

    Well, it's more about finding that balance between being overtly cautious/afraid of falling for the wrong person/etc that you say, "No" to every opportunity of hanging out with someone and pursuing people so much you get frustrated you never going to find someone. You've got to pray and wait for...

    What's your opinion on...

    Horror movies scare me and do nothing to add to my walk with God. What's your opinion on quidditch?

    Should I try to be friends with him again?

    Ditto. My reasoning for saying no is because although you guys shared commonalities on basic things like music and movies, you two don't share commonalities on more important things like what one expects out of the marriage. He sounds rude, ridiculous, and more importantly, NOT a man of God...
