Bible Note: Greetings Mouse2! Thanks for your response! I do still fail to see the difference between the denomination known as the Church of Christ and other Christian denominations. :-) The church which Jesus established is the Body of Christ. It is made up of all those who have named the name of Christ, no matter what denomination they happen to worship in. Concerning your points of distinction: 1) Does not apply to any denomination - including the Church of Christ. It was begun or organized by specific men at a specific point in history. 2) Would apply to all Christian denominations. 3) Would apply to all Christian denominations. 4) Is not relevant at all. Anyone can call themselves "The Church of Christ", but that doesn't make it so! :-) So, I don't see anything which points to the denomination of the Church of Christ as being the 'true' church while excluding (Baptists, Lutherans, Nazarenes, Methodists, ect...). It seems that the Church of Christ's position is an example of the worst of denominationalism - we are right and everyone else is wrong! ;-) I don't agree with every particular belief of every denomination. But, I do consider everyone who has named the name of Christ as my brothers and sisters, no matter which particular denomination they worship at. Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |
