I have gone to Church of Christ all my life. But I have also visited other churches when i was at a friends house on a saturday night. Some of the main beliefs that separate it from other churchs are, that we belive that instraments durring worship goes against new testiment teachings, women should not be a amain focuse durring worshp. this does not mean that they have to be completely submissive, and sulent. They can teach classes lead womens Bible studies where there arent men present. My Church has in fact started a conference run by women and it for women, is called Women Walking With God Conference(if you want more information on this go to www.women walkingwithgod.com). Women still have an important roll in the chur but they are to remain in the bacground not the foreground. We also beleive that baptism along with a few other steps is the only way to get to Heaven and without it you simply arent going. We also have communion every sunday.
If you have any more quetions you can mesage me.

Im a member of the church of christ. I think the problem with people in todays society is that they take the bible and add and take from it what they want. When you read ephesians the fifth chapter it is talking about christ being the head of the church. The bible is also stating that men is the head of his household. So i have one quick question if god dosent give a women authority over a man in the household why would he do it in his church. God never said a women could not say anything in church we pray, sing, and amen when the preacher preaches. The bible gives no spirctural example of a women having authority over a men in the services of god. If you look at every example of a leadership and overseerer of the church it was a man.
Not true at all the church of christ is not controlling. The truth is we belive firmly and what the bible teaches. Also that the bible is what we should live by. Some people take the bible to make it fit there ways or say that the bibles says this to do what they want to do which is wrong. However just because the men is the head does not mean the women does not have any say so period. Women are allowed to sing, pray with congeration, say amen like everyone else. No bible scripture gives a women authority over a men in the house or the church. Even in the home the bible teaches that you should be one. If someone dosent properly understand the bible they can not teach that which is spirtual unless their spirtual.

Then you should be called the Church of the Bible . . . otherwise it is deceptive advertising.
No, because that name is not scriptural. There is only one church (body) according to the bible (Eph. 4:4, Eph. 1:22-23, Col 1:18) and it is the church established by Jesus Christ in Acts 2, belonging to Jesus Christ according to Colossians 1:18, and referred to as the church of Christ in Rom. 16:16. It is not harsh to say there is only one church when the bible says it.
In regards to women, 1 Timothy 2:11-14 says that women are to learn in silence and not usurp authority over the man. If a man is present they should not take any leadership role in the church. In Corinthians 14:34 the bible says they should remain silent and ask questions at home. It is very clear what God wants in His church.
recently camping with friends who are Church of Christ. No alcohol for sure. Told me too that only members of the Church of Christ would go to heaven. She also wondered about what the OT had to do with the NT. I told her that I thought she would be surprised when she gets to heaven! She also asked me what I thought of women in the pulpit and I told her that I knew they were but that it wasn't biblical.+

This is the Church of the Bible . . . Jesus had no bible.

It is very clear what chauvinistic men who deemed women chattel wanted in THEIR Church of the Bible. Jesus treated women as equals.

Jesus words are the bible basically. So we are on the same page in a sense. John 1:1 says "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God". The bible is God's word and it is Jesus Word. So church of Jesus, God, and the bible. I can agree in that sense.
In regards to women God explains why women are to be silent in HIS words not mine. Did you read the verses? God says that not me, lol. Do you think God is chauvinistic? I realize women and men are equal, but that does not change was God desires in His worship. I am simply telling you what the bible says on the matter.
