The Spring church of Christ hosted a
Crucial Debate on Religious Authority
|
|
Great results from the debate! Numerous calls from Catholics and other religious groups asking for tapes, further study material, Bible Correspondence Courses, and Home Bible Studies. People from several denominations--including Catholicism--have visited worship services here. Some are questioning the Catholic doctrines of papal infallibility as well as the authority of church traditions and the Magisterium, and they are sincerely seeking truth. The debate has been such a tremendous tool for the truth that, Lord willing, a book from the discussion will soon be available. We stand ready to help you in your sincere study of God's word.
