There was a split in the Church of Christ restoration movement many years ago. Ours does use musical instruments and singing. Piano's and organs were considered of the devil because the only places that first could afford them were dance halls and saloons, so we're not deemed proper for church...

In view of all the different movies and books on Bible stories we need to make sure we know the truth. They do give chance to discuss the truth with those that don't know it. Just as Hollywood does with any historical work they try to make an entertaining movie. I just watched two movies...

are you sure men didn't write something different than what Jesus said. you already stated we couldn't trust what was in the old testament. i believe all the scriptures are true.

Jesus didn't abolish slavery, or the death sentence, he even healed the centurion's servant with no comment on slavery. God gave ten commandment 's all were merciful and teaching us how to treat Him and each other with Love. Also as for death sentences, there is no death to GOD, all those gone...

The ten commandments were not the whole law. And they Don't differ from the two that Jesus gave, but if you Don't trust what men wrote down, then how do you know anything in the NT is right.

Anyone obeying the commandments of Christ, will not break the ten of His Father.

i don't believe i said to do your own will, but God's will. when Jesus saw someone in need, he helped. He was love personified, and we are to be the same.

if we have true faith in Jesus, then we are in obedience, as he was to the Father. A disciple imitates the Master, including his very nature, with the Holy Spirit. Jesus listened to the Father as we should. If we take on his nature in faith, we will do everything in love. The deeds will...

is that what Jesus did?

anyone with true faith, trusting in Jesus, will be in complete obedience to what Jesus said. including taking on his very nature so that "good" deeds are automatic.

Jesus said to go make disciples, not just fill up the church with fans.

i agree it is more the western church, and the way our society is brought up. As a young man I knew the "rules", so i studied the bible. But just like in secular society, I was looking for loopholes. I think a lot of us today are searching for ways to bend the law, without breaking it. One...

the scriptures are for the believers, if the person you are asking forgiveness of is a true believer, they will forgive you. if they are not, then you have done what you need to do. just as important is to forgive. the burden is on the one with the hardened heart, forgiving takes the weight off...

maybe we shouldn't fill our kids heads with nonsense about a santa clause, boogeyman, and others, so they won't confuse our Father with them. before Christ, the Psalms, or songs, often spoke of the fear of the Lord, but also of his love and protection. yes, i was afraid to disobey my dad, but...

nothing to add but another amen to that

but we have baptised many that were baptised as infants by their parents and felt they needed to do it themselves at a later age.

the scriptures i have read talk about repenting of our sins an be baptised, i don't understand what sin an infant can repent from, but if it gives yo7 peace i don't remember anything against it.

an example i had was my grandma, last 5 years of her life, blind in a nursing home in a wheelchair. all her sons had died, yet she had the joy of Christ in her heart, the people there said she was a joy and inspiration to them and the others living there. some times our sorrows and hardships...

Gods ways are mysterious, sometimes our hardships, are anothers blessing.

not all of the law of moses was kept after Jesus came, God himself did away with some.
