The world in its present state needs all the love and togetherness it can possibly muster………if anyone is putting down the Church of God then shame on them…….that is the problem with this world….constant strife and back biting…….
Go to church on Sunday and prayer meeting if you have those……then go home and call up all your friends to talk about the leaders of the church and their wives and children………hypocrites…..every single one that is talking about the leaders of the church………
Charles PageI have heard people say about the United States “love it or leave it”. I say the same thing about the “Church of God”. Love it or leave it. Find a perfect church if you can but don’t join it because it will no longer be perfect if you do.
You brethren (Jeremy Carter & Gary Jones)
have no doubt very little understanding of men such as some of us in this forum. You need to understand that for 100 years, the teachings of the CoG were against the wearing of jewelry, as well as other particular things. Some of us in this forum are from that era in the CoG. In 1986, the GA changed its Practical Teachings and remove all of its “DO NOTs.” However, not all CoG minister and membership accepted that change. That is the friction that is created between your thoughts (I would assume you both became a part of the CoG post-1986.) and ours. So you must try to understand our thoughts and deep beliefs as well. God bless you both.
That’s what you get for assuming. I was born into COG and in 1974 and remember. I was actually at the 86 assembly. I have asked others and now I ask you. Why is it ok for David to dance naked before the Lord and not ok for our youth to dance fully clothed before the Lord. I will patiently wait your answer.
As I have said before COG was against eating at establishment that serves alcohol. You certainly didn’t mind that change. And if the wives should not adorn expensive things. What about our kids. Should they adorn themselves with expensive cars. And pastors with expensive suits?
Brethren, the reason I have not answered you is that I have been in a business meeting all morning and then at a wedding where I am now at the reception and am only checking internet while I have about 10 minutes. I will say that I am not ignoring anyone. I will get back with you later. God bless you all.

Jeremy Carter, I don’t know where you are coming from because I, nor any one else, are bashing any leader in the CoG.
Wait a minute Jeremy Carter. You are pointing out facts. They are not used to facts.

You notice Jeremy Carter that Melvin Harter completely ignored what you said about the leaders wives.
As I have said before COG was against eating at establishment that serves alcohol. You certainly didn’t mind that change. And if the wives should not adorn expensive things. What about our kids. Should they adorn themselves with expensive cars. And pastors with expensive suits?
As a pastor I fought with legalism crap and was constantly dealing with it just to see a soul saved. It’s ridiculous.
Still waiting for scripture…..
