So many errors. So many mistkes.
Where to begin?
From the very first sentence, this article is just wrong, incomplete and biased.
ping.
Incomplete, yes, but doesn’t seem particularly biased to me.
http://church-of-christ.org/who.html is what they say about themselves.
how is it biased? It seems like a quick run-down of the Church of Christ. Any article that brief is necessarily incomplete. Please point out the inaccuracies. The whole reason any of us read these things is to learn.
As a member of the non-institutional “wing” of the church of Christ, I found that to be a suprisingly even handed and fairly accurate article.
There were a few errors.
“Each Church of Christ traces its heritage to the Restoration Movement that swept the new American nation in the late 1700s and early 1800s.”
Actually, as the author pointed out, our heritage goes back to 33AD. The rejection of denominationalism began in the late 1700s.
And many don’t realize this, but there is a church of Christ in Alabama (Rocky Springs, near Bridgeport) that has been meeting since 1807. That was about 4 years before Alexander Campbell came to the US.
The author makes an indictment of denominationalism, although he didn’t realize it.....
“Despite this autonomy, there is a surprising degree of similarity among churches in practice and doctrine.”
Why is that?Read this earlier in his article....
“They threw out all creeds, such as the Westminster Confession of Faith and the Apostles’ Creed, and announced they had only one creed, the Bible.”
We maintain that suprising degree of similarity because we ONLY USE THE BIBLE, rejecting doctrines and creeds of men.
**So many errors. So many mistkes.**
Actually, I found it to be dead on.
