I read nin the paper just 2-3 days ago, the Church of Christ is gearing up to support gay marriage.
THE CHURCH OF CHRIST!!!
Now how can that be???? It just boggles my mind!
What is the distinctive plea of the church of Christ?
It is primarily a plea for religious unity based upon the Bible. In a divided religious world it is believed that the Bible is the only possible common denominator upon which most, if not all, of the God-fearing people of the land can unite. This is an appeal to go back to the Bible. It is a plea to speak where the Bible speak and to remain silent where the Bible is silent in all matters that pertain to religion. It further emphasizes that in everything religious there must be a "Thus saith the Lord" for all that is done. The objective is religious unity of all believers in Christ. The basis is the New Testament. The method is the restoration of New Testament Christianity.

Must be forgetting lots of that stuff Paul wrote
Like in first chapter of Romans
26 ¶ For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature:
27 and likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompense of their error which was meet.
Once again, a clarification for the church that I was raised in - the Church of Christ is the same as it always was. Instrumental music is not on the menu. Dancing is not on the menu. Alcohol is not on the menu. Sodomy is DEFINITELY not on the menu.
The United Church of Christ, OTOH, is about to transform itself into, well, a salad bar of depravity. But these are two completely different organizations (well, one is a Christian church, and the other is an organization . . .).
