Church of God

capt_buzzard · 06-10-2005, 12:59 PM

An Evangelical church with six million members worldwide is planning to build a 10m euro church in County Louth in Southern Ireland.
Over 1,300 worshippers will be able to attend sesions in the church. It is being built by the Irish arm of the Church of God, a religious movement in the US at Cleveland.
The Church which preaches strict adherence to the bible and keeping Sunday holy.
The site will also house a penthouse and a bible teaching school.

Interesting development in a predominantly Roman Catholic country..............

Yes it is. But Rome will perhaps them in before long. As it is trying to do with the Angelicans. They are not shouting that the Reformation was a farce.

Do you think they get the protestant/catholic thing?

I think "The Church of God" is another example of "everyone else has it wrong but us". It is a narrow and untenable point of view.

I seem to remember you saying you were pretty tightly tuned in on the scholars in your denomination. You see your way as broad and inclusive to the point it has become a doctrine that is narrow and exclusive. Only those who subscribe to your view are right...right? What is the difference?

First of all I read many scholars that are not of my denomination. In fact I don't belong to a denomination. I belong to the Holy, Catholic and Apostolic Church.

Our Lord was also broad and inclusive. However, when he was up against somthing he strongly disagreed with he spoke his mind: the Pharasees.

I believe I know enough about this church to know that it is one of those that is strictly exclusive and believes they have the only way. You see I was raised in such a church and left it when I realized that it was not practising what it preached.

That being said, I have given my personal view on what I believe this church to be. I cannot judge this church as that is not my role but I don't have to go along with it either especially when I don't agree with them exclusivity.

Shalom

Is that the one formed in England in 1837 in anticipation of Chist's second coming and claiming to have historical continuity to him?

Moderator - can you add a little "powder keg" smiley that can be attached to the title of threads that may end up go "boom!"?

(just kidding)

Not at all. If you didn't notice I used the term "Apostolic". That church goes right back to the apostles themselves. Much older then 1837.
