You are lost in the clouds of your own false assumptions. I was a member of several C of C for 5 years as a missionary. Jesus said, “Do not call me Good. None of us is good except the Father.”
Paul made very clear that none of us can claim to be superior to another, especially after salvation.
We are saved as sinners. We are not made superior moral creatures by God’s grace, only saved sinners.
Is that not good enough for you? Why do you insist that you are superior? You claim that you are made a good (better, moral, whatever) person because of salvation. This is a profoundly anti Christian and demonic belief.
If you cannot get this you will never understand my concern.
I never - ever - claimed I was superior. I was just explaining to you that what you read as feeling superior is probably just zeal in teaching what God says in the Bible.
They are not claiming superiority of them - they are claiming that the message they are teaching is the truth and you interpret that as they feel superior.
So, what are they to do? Refuse to ever teach what God tells us to do? Refuse to show people what is needed for salvation? Refuse to claim what our beliefs are?
You are not realistic and you seek to mock and tear down people that are merely trying to live their lives as Christians.
I firmly believe that living a life as a Christian is far, far superior to any other life. However, that is not saying I am superior. I am only saved because Jesus died for me and I believed, was baptised and seek to follow his teachings.
You may have run across some of those that come across as superior, but that does not mean all in the CofC are that way. And, you full well know that.
Do you feel the same about all the other churches out there? Are you basing that on the statements that “we are the only ones going to heaven” that were misinterpreted in years past?
All I am saying is that you seem to have a chip on your shoulder about Church of Christ members. And I am saying Church of Christ members are people same as any other people, some with talents for preaching and teaching, many without good skills.
But, that does not change the fact that they are going to the Bible to learn what is required for salvation, what God wants in His church. Any that seek God and his will through God’s word are not erring.
So, you have no reason to chastise Church of Christ members for anything. Wish more people would bother to read the Bible to find out what Jesus said about salvation and God’s teachings. Superior? No, but God’s words are sure superior and are the source for the truth.
