Yes, a church started by Campbell...you're a follower of Campbell...a member of a man-made "religion."
How ironic that you are a critic of the Catholic Church, the Church from which all other Christian denominations sprung.
I contest it.
1 : a misrepresentation intended to harm another's reputation
2 : the act of uttering false charges or misrepresentations maliciously calculated to harm another's reputation
Either works for me, in context of your previous comments. What is unknown is whether it is malicious.
I am referring to the Church of Christ. The one that is named in the Book of Romans in Chapter 16 verse 16.
Give some examples.
Sure, you all seem "to know" Catholics that fit into the categories you want to pigeonhole them in.
In any of my posts in thread the meaning by which of abbreviation I mean JC=Jesus Christ.
Please cite any post of mine in this thread that meets the definition to the meaning of the word "calumny". Thanks.
I contest the Church of Christ that you attend.

No problem. Its all right there on the internet for those who really want it.
#401: I'm embarrasing myself because you refer to Martin Luther as the devil?
I NEVER did that. Your post is a calumnious lie.
That's right. In this thread the meaning of the abbreviation I mean by JC is JC.
Too many others in this thread they have referred to others.
How about #319 where you call Catholics of the devil and where you are accusing us of mocking Jesus' name when it is YOU that keeps calling Him , JC. Get a clue please, Marajade. His name isn't JC.
I thought she meant Joan Crawford.
They were obviously making fun of you, and you overreacted by saying that Catholic mock Christ. I can see how people could see that abbreviation is disrespectful, though the Holy Name is often abbreviated "IC XC," from the Greek.
No and I didn't say you did. I said that Jesus warned us not to exalt any other human being above ourselves, in spiritual status as Christians. The moon is lower than the sun and it can block the sun's light.
This is a very common error made by those of the Roman persuasion.
The Church mentioned in the New Testament is mentioned twelve times....Acts 20:28/ I Corinthians 1:2, 10:32, 11:16, 11:22, 15:9/ II Corinthians 1:1/ Galatians 1:13/ I Timothy 3:5, 3:15/ I Thessalonians 2:14/ II Thessalonians 1:4. The Church of God.
It is referred to as the Churches (plural) of Christ once in Romans 16:16. In John 17:11 Our Saviour prayed that the Father would keep the Church in his own (God's) name. Christ is the head of the Church and John 1:1 tells us he is God also. The name "Christian" is used only three times....Acts 11:26/ Acts 26:28 and I Peter 4:16.
The body of believers is never called "Catholic" (Roman or otherwise) in scripture. That organization came about officially hundreds of years later. By this time much false doctrine had entered the early Church and it bore little resemblance to the New Testament Church began on Pentecost.
And, there are so called "Pentecostals" as well as authentic Pentecostals who fit into a number of folks pigeon holes.
Human nature's that way.
God makes a difference. For some of us, He takes longer.
Isn't it amazing that Marajade has all this time to sit here typing out rapid one liner responses, but doesn't have the time to fully spell out the Holy Name of our Lord Jesus Chirst?
I found an excellent online article several weeks ago about honoring the name of Jesus Christ. It was written by a Protestant minister. I wish I had bookmarked it so I could share it with Marajade. She certainly won't listen to any Catholics.
