Wow, I am a member of Jesus' church - the church of Christ. How dare you mock the bride of Christ. If I were not a member of the Lords church , I would think that the Lords church turned people away. No, we are the body of believers that love everyone. The congregations I have been in have been mixed in racial/ age identity.There r many conversions of people who were (past tense) homosexuals and come to Christ. They heard the word somewhere - yeah, maybe a service or study? Speak the truth...
There is a difference between Church of Christ and United Church of Christ, for one, the "United Church of Christ" has instruments and the Church of Christ does not. So the instrumental debates are what make the Church of Christ not united. Stupid arguments like the instruments just kill the unity of the Church.
This is SO true, especially of the traditional church of Christ "denomination". The UCofC gives the glory to God and leaves the judgment FOR God! For those who always quote verses to oppose UCofC, they never quote Matthew 7
We, as members of the church of Christ, are to be loving people and kind people, but we need to tell the truth of God's Word at the same time. I sincerely hope you will experience love, forgiveness and salvation by obeying the Gospel and becoming a part of the church of Christ. May God richly bless you, my friend!
Now, God does not want you to live in sin and by so doing destroy your life. He wants to protect you from all these, this is why He tells you not to live in sin. Family life is meant to be a great blessing where you can have a fulfilled life!
Personally, I believe it is Satan who tries to lie to people that they may be homosexual or that they are homosexual. I believe it is a lie and I heard of people who practiced it and they were sad people. They said, they were broken people and they destroyed their health and lives with their own hands. And they were lonely, they got old and did not have a family, did not have anybody. Some of them got AIDS as a result of their evil practice and they died in it.
We need to repent of our sins and turn away from our sins and God hates homosexuality as well as every other sin. Now, God loves people and He wants everybody to be saved. He loved us so much that He gave His Son to die for our sins and pay the penalty for all our sins. He wants everybody to turn to Him and obey the Gospel in order to be forgiven and saved.
Now, the Bible says starting with 1 Corinthians 6:9 the following:
"Do you not know that wrongdoers will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived! Fornicators, idolaters, adulterers, male prostitutes, sodomites, 10 thieves, the greedy, drunkards, revilers, robbers — none of these will inherit the kingdom of God. 11And this is what some of you used to be. But you were washed, you were sanctified, you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and in the Spirit of our God".
Of course, baptism is not a work of merit by which we earn our salvation, because salvation is by grace through faith, but not faith only. True faith is obedient faith and we need to believe and obey the Gospel by repenting and being baptized for the forgiveness of our sins (Acts 2:38). If we do this, God forgives us our sins and adds us to the church, which is the body of Christ. This is God's plan of salvation and we need to obey the Gospel and be faithful until the end in order to be saved.
Jesus came to save that which was lost, that is, us, people who became lost because of our sins which is rebellion against God's good will. But Christ died for us, was buried and resurrected so that we might be forgiven and be saved. However, according to the Bible, we need to turn away from our sins, that is repent, and believing in Jesus and the Good News of Christ, the Gospel, we need to confess Jesus as the Son of God and then be baptized by immersion in order to have our sins forgiven.
I am a member of the United Church of Christ, and this is our ad, of which many of us are justly proud. I agree with the representatives here of the "churches of Christ" that the title should be changed to "United Church of Christ Bouncer Ad." There's no reason to confuse us with hateful homophobes. I am a church of Christ escapee, so believe me, I know what I'm talking about: those shoot-their-wounded people have hearts of lead and "concentrated acid for blood"!
I admit I sounded strident (though I'm glad you apparently thought it sounded funny, which is pretty much how I meant it.)
I do think about the place I am, not just twice, but all the time, every day. That's where we differ, we might agree otherwise.
You believe that there is one final answer and every new situation must be seen in its light. I believe I have to judge each situation on its merits and choose the course of action that does the most good and least harm...to everyone, not just me.
there are many prophecies in the Bible that were confirmed in the new testament, plus there were many writers during the Bible was being written and after it was wrote proved that the Bible has just remain the same...
How a book can remain the same after a long long time without being changed? The Bible is consistent it can't contradicts itself! the Bible also contains the moral laws that we follow and it tells me how the world was created! what other book does what the Bible does? name one!
If I make a prediction, you can wait, and, later, write down that the prophecy was fulfilled according to your interpretation of what I wrote, and events which you did or did not witness. You can lie. So can I. I believe the writers of the New Testament were liars. You can't prove me wrong.
Genesis 1:27 contradicts Genesis 20:23, just to start at the beginning.
Book describing morals outside of religion, try "The End of Faith" by Sam Harris. Read any book on cosmology. Bible = 66 books, not 1.
Yeah I know. I went to the UCOC and they had a bouncer too. Damn Church bouncers. They said I couldn't get in unless I correctly spelled the denomination.
All you people except #1 are very strong and devout Christians and for that I thank you. i too am a member of the church of christ and if your ever in nashville look up jackson street church of christ
The title of this video is misleading and must be changed to reflect the denomination it addressed. The church of Christ does not condone turning anyone away either, but it also in no way lets sinful behavior be seen as acceptable. To the one who posted this video, I kindly request you change its title.
Yeah,I think they should change their name.I'm from the Church of Christ but not United COC.People get them confused and think I'm as liberal ad United COC.
This is a commercial from the UNITED CHURCH OF CHRIST (UCC) which is different and has absolutely no affiliation whatsoever with the CHURCHES OF CHRIST.

hey brother why don't you let God judge what is right and not right and then you follow what He says is going to lead you to eternal life?
there is only one answer and that is the Bible, follow it, and you will find the right way!

Actually, I don't believe in any gods. Not Zeus, not Thor, not Yahweh, not Wotan, not Ba'al. Can I ask what your evidence is that the Bible is true?
