"...We actually got thrown out because we sought clarification (insistently sought) on a particular church teaching that I was having trouble accepting..."

Yes it seems that the accent is often on the first syllable...THE Church of Christ...and all others are not.

They deride others for reciting the Apostle's Creed, celebrating Easter, and using instrumental music. But yet they celebrate Easter at home with Bunny Baskets, have non-Biblical guides like WHY I'M A MEMBER OF THE CHURCH OF CHRIST and Campbell's original writings, and often use pitch pipes to get hymn singing started.

They owe their grape juice used for communion to a Methodist named Welch who decided that it would be great to have a completely nonalcoholic juice that could be stored a long time. When they are cited for this with their line about only worship practices that are "expressly authorized in the Bible" are used in their services, they become very angry.

THE C of C spends lots of time condemning other churches but I don't see the same done so often and so offensively by Presbyterians, Anglicans, Methodists, and Baptists.

Excuse me, just what did you do in your post but condemn the Church of Christ.

I have never understood why so many would have so much distaste for a people that just go to the Bible to seek what God wishes for His church.

Of course, man always thinks he can do better than God at determining what is required in a church, but I would prefer to simply do as God wishes - even if in so doing mistakes are made.

Go ahead and make fun of us. I really do not care. I am not seeking your approval of what I believe - I am just countering your mis-statements about what and why we believe.

Where do you go to seek your beliefs? To a board? To a creed? To church leaders of the day? And just why is that better than God's inspired word - the Bible?
