Family of God: Re: [Church_of_Christ] Re: Truth for the World

To Ray

Thanks for the discussion. no I am not trying to debate in the sense of winning my will over against yours or anybody else. I seek no victory over anybody. my purpose is to explain how I see the kingdom of God as revealed in the New Testament. I am sure you are a better debater than me. I could not possibly beat you.

You said, "What are some of the various meanings you have encountered? I am wondering if our experiences are similar." Basically there are two that I have personally experienced and that being, "to name". Like some sort of Christian organization with certain doctrines and a name to distinguish it from another. Then there are some that say it is "some sort of false teaching" advocated by churches. I am sure that there are others but these seem to be the most popular. It has been my experience that 95% of the time people use it in the since of naming while the others use it in the sense of false teachings.

Thanks Dan

Dan,

You've got my curiosity flared, and no, I'm not looking for a debate or a fight...I'm genuinely curious here.

What are some of the various meanings you have encountered? I am wondering if our experiences are similar.
