"Church of Christ" not in the Bible? How Ridiculous

“THE IGLESIA NI CRISTO”

ANSWERS

“The phrase ‘Church of Christ never once appears in the Bible”

Another challenge from the CFDs but only shows their ignorant on what are written in the Bible and in Bible versions as well”

 THIS IS WHAT CFD SAID:

“I will now prove Inc misleads you ......

“IF I DO NOT PROVE IT THEN I WILL BECOME INC.

“You claim Romans 16:16 "church of Christ" means your the true church? Do you know how wrong that is and unbiblical that is?
“ITS A LIE!!!! AND I WILL PROVE IT IS A LIE!!!!! (Keep reading)
“The phrase "Church of Christ" never once appears in the Bible.
“Let me say it again in case you missed it;
“the phrase "Church of Christ" never once appears in the Bible. ALL 21 VERSIONS OF THE BIBLE!!!!!!”

This Catholic Defender said that INC is misleading the people and he also said that if he cannot prove it “then I will become INC.” No need for that because we will not going to accept you anyway because according to our doctrine, a person must enter the Church of  Christ because of faith and not any other reasons like he just lose a debate.

This Catholic Defender said that “Church of Christ” is wrong and unbiblical, and he added, “It’s a lie.” He even confidently stated that “I will prove it is a lie.”

Why did he said that “Church of Christ” is wrong and unbiblical and a lie? He based his conclusion on the premise that “the phrase Church of Christ never once appears in the Bible. ALL 21 VERSIONS OF THE BIBLE.”

Note that this Catholic Defender even wrote it in all caps, “never once appears in the Bible. ALL 21 VERSIONS OF THE BIBLE.”

“THE IGLESIA NI CRISTO” ANSWERS

THIS STATEMENT SHOWS NOT ONLY THAT THIS CATHOLIC DEFENDER IS IGNORANT OF WHAT ARE WRITTEN IN THE BIBLE, BUT ALSO THAT HE IS IGNORANT OF BIBLE TRANSLATIONS AND VERSIONS.

FIRST, why we said that this Catholic Defender is ignorant of Bible translation and versions? He said “ALL 21 VERSIONS OF THE BIBLE.” FOR THE SAKE OF THE READERS, IF HE IS TALKING ABOUT THE ENGLISH BIBLE, ACTUALLY THE ENGLISH BIBLE IS NOT ONLY 21, BUT MORE THAN 200.

So that’s the reason of his ERRONEOUS premise that “the phrase Church of Christ never once appears in the Bible.” He look at it in only 21 versions of the Bible, when it is a fact that there are more than 200 English Bible!

He look at it in only 21 versions of the Bible and when he did not saw the name “Church of Christ” he concluded that “the phrase Church of Christ never once appears in the Bible.” HOW RIDICULOUS!

NOW, what proves that this Catholic Defender is indeed in error in stating that “the phrase Church of Christ never once appears in the Bible”? See for yourself:

    

I Corinthians 12:12 Weymouth

“Or just as the human body is one and yet has many parts, and all its parts, many as they are, constitute but one body, so it is with the Church of Christ.”

This version is also called New Testament in Modern Speech, a work of Dr. Richard Francis Weymouth. Wikipedia has this to say about this version:

“The Weymouth New Testament ("WNT"), otherwise known as The New Testament in Modern Speech or The Modern Speech New Testament, is a translation into "modern" English as used in the nineteenth century from the text of The Resultant Greek Testament by Richard Francis Weymouth from the Greek idioms used in it. It was later edited and partly revised by Reverend Ernest Hampden-Cook in London, England. Publishers: Baker and Taylor Company (New York) in 1903 and James Clarke & Co (London) in 1903.”

This translation is based from the text of the Resultant Greek Testament. I assure you, there are more verses stating "Church of Christ" especially if we look it up on all Bible versions (which the English Bible alone is more than 200) and not on 21 versions only. However, I think for now this verse is sufficient to prove the error of this Catholic Defender.

Thus, this Catholic Defender is truly ridiculous in basing on only 21 Bible versions and concluded that “the phrase Church of Christ never once appears in the Bible.” He is erroneous indeed in stating that “the phrase Church of Christ never once appears in the Bible.”
