				<description><![CDATA[Today's respondent to my article of May 18, 2011 has misapplied Scripture. The Bibical quote in the reply is from Jeremiah 31:31-34. These passages are not revelant to the point I was making. Jeremiah is referring to the new covenant as compared to the old covenant, the Law of Moses.<br /><br />Under the Law of Moses, the Jews were born into the covenant. They were not taught and then chose to be under the Law of Moses. They were part of it from birth. Thus, for them to know what the law was about, they had to be taught. That is not the case with the new covenant, the law of Christ. Now one must be taught before He becomes a child of God. He must understand what the law of Christ teaches and than submit to it in obedience. He must be born again (John 3:1-5). He will know the Lord and have his sins forgiven before he becomes a child of God.<br /><br />Knowing the Lord does not mean knowing everything the Lord knows. We only know what He has revealed to us. And He has not revealed to us when He will return again<br />(Matt. 24:36-44 and I Thess. 5:1-6). In fact, these passages have been revealed teaching us that we cannot know when He will return. What the parable of the wise and foolish virgins teaches us as recorded in Matt. 25:1-13 is that we need to be ready at all times since we don't know when His return will occur.<br /><br /><em>Statistics : Posted by <a href="http://forums.insearchoftruth.org/memberlist.php?mode=viewprofile&u=373">larry</a> &bull; on Mon Jan 30, 2012 5:17 pm</em><hr />]]></description>

The title is &quot;Year Book Containing List of Preachers of Churches of Christ.&quot;  This was published in 1925 by R. F. Duckworth who was the editor of a periodical &quot;The Apostolic Way.&quot;   Apostolic Way was being published from Dallas, Texas by 1925 (although it had been published form Union City,GA until the editor at the time died).   I don't know if it would have been credited as simply a publicaton of The Apostolic Way or under Duckworth's name.<br /><br />Thus far, I can only find refrences to it in numerous sources, but my search through numerous College Libraries have not turned up the document itself.  <br /><br />Any assistance would be appreciated! <br /><br />Thanks in advance!<br /><br /><em>Statistics : Posted by <a href="http://forums.insearchoftruth.org/memberlist.php?mode=viewprofile&u=448">TomVatkinson</a> &bull; on Fri Oct 07, 2011 9:21 am</em><hr />]]></description>

				<description><![CDATA[It's good to hear back from you. Many churches of Christ believe in church autonomy, so there is no organized conformity, outside of a similar attitude to God's Word.

				<description><![CDATA[Thanks for the quick response, I appreciate it. I already belong to a local group of believers but it was just interesting to find another group with similar beliefs. It's hard to find a meeting that doesn't have a pastor that is at the head and participates in the Lord's supper on a weekly basis. In fact, I'm not sure I know of any except for the type that I attend. I've seen the church of Christ places many times but I've always associated them with the charismatic movement. Again, thank you for the response.<br /><br /><em>Statistics : Posted by <a href="http://forums.insearchoftruth.org/memberlist.php?mode=viewprofile&u=7">email</a> &bull; on Sat Jul 09, 2011 6:30 pm</em><hr />]]></description>
