So we should all join the Orthodox church?

I think the writer of this article is missing something somewhere.

The key to the article is the word “denomination”

denomination
late 14c., “a naming, act of giving a name to,” from O.Fr. denominacion “nominating, naming,” from L. denominationem (nom. denominatio) “a calling by anything other than the proper name, metonymy,” from denominare “to name,” from de- “completely” (see de-) + nominare “to name” (see nominate). Meaning “a class” is from mid-15c. Monetary sense is 1650s; meaning “religious sect” is 1716.

The basic tenet of Church of Christ congregations (there is no earthly ruling body above those listed in the New Testament - Elders 1 Timothy 3 ) is that the New Testament is complete and unalterable being the final word to man until the Christ returns.

Hope that helps some.

I agree. I am reminded of the time when Jesus said something to the effect those that are not against Me are with me.
And elsewhere the question is put using example of body partsi.e. the hand speaking to the foot. Given time I could compile a list of verses that seem to contradict the apparent message. I am not convinced that sects—or denominations are in and of themself either good or bad.I recall certain Catholics claiming non-Catholic Christians are almost saved.
I am somewhat familiar with the church of Christ— and Alexander Campbell-but find the comment there is much apostasy in that sect somewhat offensive for I find apostacy a subjective and wide spread affect -leven that appears in every denomination/congregation known to man.
didn’t Jesus tell one seeking Him “why do you call Me good?
There is none good save the Father.I cannot compare the church of Christ in doctrine to the Mormon church.I just cannot.
