I really got to get this documentary to my Dad. He went to Anderson's school of theology, then on to Duke University in the doctoral program. My Dad's pastorate many a Church of God and help found one in Kingsport Tennessee. Thank you so much for this posting. He's now 92 years young and still writes and translates from the old Greek testament. After getting his PHD from Duke he took our family down to Houston Texas where he taught at Gulf Coast Bible College. I can't wait to see and hear his reaction to this!!!!!!!Thanks again and again.........
My family is 4-6th generation COG. My grandfather helped save a mile of pennies to build the church building there, he was a child. and was latdd baptized in a creek nearby. Our family and congregation still hold the traditional hymns and ds warner/ doctrine today in our coomunity in New Castle. But have been independant of the headquarters for many years now. My maiden name is Nipp. The history is fascinating as i have grown up with COG heritage. I do love it and am teaching my grandchildren, as my grandparents taught me.
When you read the books of the New Testament you have probably asked yourself many times: "Why is it that for 2000 years we have not seen the miracles that accompanied the Church of Christ in the first century as the New Testament describes them? Why is it that so-called preachers of Christ have to prove that Jesus really existed, while atheists have the audacity to deny the historicity or divine origin of Christ? Maybe because the Church of Christ ceased to exist after the first century. There is no Church as it is described in the books of the New Testament, but there are Catholic, Orthodox, Protestant and other Christian sects, claiming to be the Church, but not having that one thing that distinguishes the divine from the human and is characteristic only for the Church of Christ - the backing of the word with signs, that is, miracles (Mk 16:15-20). That is why part of the researchers doubt the historicity of Christ, and part of them do not mind to declare Him a real person, but an ordinary philosopher, a teacher. But even if Jesus was an ordinary philosopher, His disciples would have been ordinary followers of Jesus. And they would not have dared to write about the miracles that not only Jesus but also His disciples could perform. If in our time there were a Church as described by the authors of the New Testament books, where miracles are performed - healing the sick, prophesying, raising the dead - no one would doubt the historicity of Christ. Then all over the world there would be the same disputes as in the first century - Jesus is the Son of God or a false prophet who seduces the world with miracles. Find on youtube the audio message *"The Mystery of the Church of Christ"* . It reveals the prophecy of the disappearance and reappearance of the Church of Christ before the End of the World, giving hope to all who are sincerely seeking God and who are not lazy to think freely.

Thanks for the affirmation! Glad you can show it to your dad. God bless.
Liked the video very much
I am thankful for those who worked to provide the Gospel. I was raised in the Church for which I am so grateful!
