To: Conservative til I die
I am merely stating a fact. And yes, the church of Christ is also a name found in the Bible along with several others. It would appear that those groups did exist and called themselves by those names. I find that to be proof of their existance. You on the other hand are trying to claim that a group never named in the Bible is the true church of Christ. It would seem to me that the people in the Bible called by those names by the Apostle Paul have a claim to existence far superior to any group not named in the Bible.

Then it pleased the apostles and elders, with the whole church, to send chosen men of their own company to Antioch Hey CTID, I think the market is open for a denomination to call themselves the Whole Church. You could point to the Bible and claim to be an apostolic church from the time of Christ.

I'll try to be as charitable and just say that your reasoning here is really, really ludicrous.

All the groups of Christians in the 1st century were either: catholic orthodox beleivers or gnostics or vaguely Christianized Jews...
