church of Christ Romans 16:16 16Salute one another with an holy kiss. The churches of Christ salute you.

It's really not, because there's no such thing nor was there any such intent.

Peter may or may not have have been an apostle that had somewhat of a leadership role, but even so if he did, that doesn't by any stretch infer that the Lord's church was built on or founded upon him. He did have a unique responsibility to establish the church in Jerusalem as well in Caesarea...

You can believe the long list of scholars if you like. I'm not impressed with so called scholars; I can read and understand as well as anyone including the "scholars", so that means nothing nor will I put my trust in them as opposed to the scriptures and myself. Goodbye

I pointed out what the scriptures say, so I'm not the one that's wrong if there is a wrong. Petros and petra are two different genders. His church is the bride and would be represented by feminine gender. Read the explanations again. The Isaiah scripture doesn't prove a thing especially in...

But it also says "that he will not hear".

I've not heard of that specific issue in our congregation nor anyone in our group in such dire straights. We're fairly small as are most coC that are not in the bible belt with maybe 130 or so members and have declined since I've been a member for almost 50yrs, so the elders pretty much know...

Thanks for the note back. We try very hard to model ourselves after the church of thd bible in all respects brjng a member of a local, autonomous, church of Christ. I personally believe that the church of the bible can be replicated quite easily if sincere and if following what we can glean from...

Yes, it's about $$$ and continuation of their employment, and not about saving souls. They don't know how to do that.

Hopefully, no one. The world would be much better off if no one continued propagating their false message.

I look at it in very simple, basic terms. It's stated many times that it's required as part of salvation, and that's what I believe and follow. God did not intend salvation to be complicated, but on the contrary, simple, so the simplest of people can understand and comply. It's man that...

Great scripture; also provides an answer to those that claim baptism isn't necessary because Paul said he was sent not to baptize but to preach.

Billy Graham has saved no one. False messages don't save souls. As I said previously, your soul can't be and isn't saved by reciting a prayer and inviting the Lord into your heart. You won't find this in the bible nor anything even close to this. Find it and post the scriptures and instances...

If you were "baptized" in the church of england as a child or infant, you weren't baptized, and if mot baptized, you're not saved. Btge word baptize stems from the Greek baptizo which means to plunge, dip, immerse. The church of england sprinkles or pours water on you which are not baptism, and...

If Billy Graham's message didn't and doesn't save souls, it bears no fruit and gives false hope to the unknowing, gullible people that believe such nonsense. And it's not a matter of judging others, it's rightly dividing the word to discern falsehoods from truth and good from bad. We must make...

James 2:19 19 Thou believest that there is one God; thou doest well: the devils also believe, and tremble belief is not enough nor is relying on a few scriptures while ignoring the rest. Goodbye

You can't cherrypick scripture as you've just done. If you do, scripture will appear to conflict with scripture because the answer isn't found in just one, but rather the true answer is found when all the relative scriptures are taken into consideration. Scripture doesn't contradict itself. As...
