    You couldn't have read it as you posted this at 1:04 and my previous post was at 1:00. The scripture is there he asked for if anyone cares to read it. What you think of it is up to you all. The question you might want to ask is where does your church get its authority from for using instruments.

    I did not expect anyone to agree with me. Hopefully I can make you think about it though. These passages come directly from a book. Departures from the word of God heave centered in 3 major things--organization, doctrine, and worship. Departure in organization came first. It was a gradual...

    Music

    No we sing. Yes I am also amazed at how man has distorted the word of God. Ya'll do some indepth reading on your particular founding fathers of your particular denomination and see what they had to say about it. I put several in an earlier post in this thread if you aren't afraid to check it out.

    It doesn't tell you to take a dump either. This and what you said is silly and has no bearing on what we were saying. If any of those people listed were founders or highly respected members of your denomination then you need to check them out and why they said that don't you? I am not condeming...

    Got a question people.

    OK. Not what I was looking for but with that in mind, how would the gospel ever be preached to every single person,and thus fufill scripture? I still would like an answer to my original question from someone though.

    Got a question people.

    We are studying Mark right now and as I read this verse it had references to others of course which lead me to the two verses listed below Mark 13:10. I want to know what your opinion is on whether this means. Does this mean that the gospel has already been preached everywhere or not...

    Let's get specific on works, concerning salvation

    Here are some examples of works and what the Lord thinks of those who do them and those who don't. Is this the type of stuff you were asking for? Matt. 25: [<B>33</B>] And he shall set the sheep on his right hand, but the goats on the left. [<B>34</B>] Then shall the King say unto them...

    How do you discipline your children ?

    If it is a big problem the first thing you have to do is something to get their attention. They have to have respect for you or they won't listen. Remember they owe you respect for raising them, you don't have to earn it in their eyes, you already done it. I believe in tanning one's tail if that...

    Both my kids married into Chruch of Christ familys

    You said:" I certainly hope that you don't consider me or the study I did to be a stumbling block." No, I do not. My choice of words may have been lacking in that sentence. I have heard all the "problems with my Church" before so sometimes it just kinda rubs me wrong way sometimes. Not what...

    Quote"I'm sure you'd agree that we as people don't always rightly interpret/perceive Scripture. But, your post makes it seem that it's impossible to be sure that you DO interpret them correctly. However, Scripture makes it clear that we CAN be certain. It says that we should "study (or be...
