Is the Church of Christ a denomination?

[J.D SilvernailParticipant 383]

I think that the so called non-denominational church of christ is a denomination.
They have their own schools. http://athensbibleschool.org/
They have their own colleges. http://floridacollege.edu/
This is proof of that.
Someone please explain to me why these non-denominational churches of Christ all withdraw from members of the church who have sex before marriage or who convert to another religion. Why are they making schools and colleges that have very strict rules that seem to be consistent with one another?

By definition they are a denomination.

Don't stick your dick into anyone you aren't willing to put up with for eighteen years and nine months.

agreed they are a denomination.

The only true non denomination churches have two things in common…they are not corporations created by the state….any church with 501c 3 tax exempt status is a  corporation created by the state. Anything created by the state is not created by God or Jesus…

The second thing in common is they turn away no one, but accept all people regardless of previous affiliation.

I have been to a few cowboy church services here in Texas. They accept all comers.  They hold services outdoors so there is no overhead….

 

I was bound to be misunderstood, and I laugh at those who misunderstand me. Kind mockery at the well intentioned, but unfettered cruelty towards those would be prison guards of my creative possibilities. This so as to learn as much from misunderstanding as from understanding. Taking pleasure in worthy opponents and making language fluid and flowing like a river yet pointed and precise as a dagger. Contradicts the socialistic purpose of language and makes for a wonderful linguistic dance, A verbal martial art with constant parries that hone the weapon that is the two edged sword of my mouth.

They are a denomination that believes what they want to believe.  It is a denomination of motivational speakers.  They hype up a crowd.  That is it.  It is a “feel good” faith.  My brother is one and is dating the daughter of his pastor.   After my discussions with him, I still cannot figure out what they believe in or why.  These religions do more harm than good.

Well John Doe your in for a treat. My parents are in the so-called non-denominational church of christ. I know exactly what they believe in. They believe that the ten commandments from the old testament (the covenant that they made with the Jews) still apply into the new testament which is what they follow now, but they don’t rest on the Sabbath or observe the Passover. As far as rituals are concerned however, every Sunday they eat unleavened bread (which represents Jesus’s body) and they drink grape juice (which represent Jesus’s blood) and then they listen to a cermon and sing a few songs. There are many different variations of the so called non-denominational churches of Christ. Some are conservative and some are liberal and some are just laid back and not too liberal or too conservative. The church of christ where my parents go is extremely conservative. Their preacher preaches against social media, homosexuality, divorce, dancing, swimming, sex before marriage, freedom, and western civilization in general.

@j.D Silvernail, you seem to be posting about this topic a lot. Does this bother you?

No swimming?

Kid- “Mom, can I go swimming this weekend?”

Mom- “Not unless you want to go to hell sweetie.”

Mindless bulls~~~.

What the hell is a “feel good” faith? All faiths are “feel good” faiths. It’s people in groups reaffirming each other’s  lies so their conscious’ don’t suffer the burden of proof for their idiotic convictions.

Remember, you can’t go Your Way and Yahweh at the same time.

Pascel in Pastels yes it does bother me because i go to school with a bunch of idiots who believe in that religion (only because their parents taught them to believe that). They are so brainwashed and they are the reason that i want to move out of Redneckistan and into the big city. No offence to rednecks by the way. I dont like religious finatics and i have to deal with them all the time,which is why i post topics about them all the time.
