Know everything about church of Christ? (1)
A. An American preacher said to me: So you are preacher from church of Christ!
1. I know everything about church of Christ! I gave him a piece of paper and a pen!
Please write down what you know about church of Christ!
2. After the third time! He could not write down a thing! I said to him: You lied, did you?
He took his Bible and ran away!
He should have written down these:
B. About Sunday worship to God!
1. I know only church of Christ obey what Jesus said in Jn.4:24!
2. Jesus said: God is spirit, and his worshipers must worship in spirit and in truth. Jn.4:24
3. One Sunday worship item is offer sacrifice of praises!
Through Jesus, therefore, let us continually offer to God a sacrifice of praise—
the fruit of lips that confess his name. Heb.13:15
4. Churches around the neighborhood that have enough money to buy music instruments they all offer
sacrifice of praise with lips plus music instruments!
Only churches of Christ still use only fruit of the lips to offer sacrifice of praises! Is it truth?
C. I heard preachers from church of Christ know the truth!
1. I know something is wrong in Jn.8:31-59! But I do not know what is wrong!
2. Can you tell me what is wrong in Jn.8:31-59?
3. I know verse 31 says Jesus spoke to the Jews who had believed him!
I know also this had believed him means already believed!
4. Why is that they seek to kill Jesus in verse 37 and 40!
5. Why Jesus said they belong to Satan in verse 44!
6. Why Jesus said they do not believe him in verse 45!
7. At the end in verse 59 they picked up stones tried to stone him!
Now please explain all these to me!
D. My answers to him would be these:
1. You think those Jews had already believed Jesus is not exactly correct!
The original text says those Jews having believed him!
2. Read Matt.16:13-17 and Matt.23:37 then you will know all the truth in these!
Yes, these Jews having believed Jesus as a prophet! That was the way they treated prophets!
E. As for the name church of Christ!
1. I know this church name is in the Bible! Ro.16:16, Ac.20:28
2. Because Jesus said: I will build my church! Matt.16:18
And: If you don't believe I am the Christ you will die in your sins!
3. Therefore, the name church of Christ is the only one that is biblical!
4. Besides, the Bible described the church is the body of Christ and the bride of Christ!
The church name can only be church of Christ!
F. I heard church of Christ follow these scriptures in their preaching!
1. They always preach words from what says in the Bible!
2. Their best slogan is 1 Peter 4:11!
3. They use Bible scriptures to explain Bible scriptures! 2Pet.1:20-21
I know 2Tim.3:16 say: All scriptures is God-breathed!
4. I know only the Spirit of God knows the things about God. 1Cor.2:11
5. Therefore, your way is the only way to correctly handle words in the Bible!
G. Finally, I know the Lord added the saved into church of Christ. Ac.2:47
1. I am so blessed to have met you today!
2. This coming Sunday I will come to the church of Christ where you preach!
Please tell me how to get there!
3. I will also bring all the people who come to worship with me on Sunday to come!
4. At the end he should have said: I know we all have a lot more to learn from you!
May the Lord bless you and keep you always! Preach this January 12, 2020.
