Are you Mormon? What are your beliefs?
Question:
I happened to stumble upon your church when I googled "the most accurate version of the Bible." I have been currently attended a Baptist church, which solely uses the King James Version. I am really in search of the truth on my Christian journey. I am not one who believes in denomination over the true content of the Bible.
Please do not take offense when I ask this question, but due to the name, are you in any way associated with the Morman faith? I am really trying to understand what your beliefs are.
Answer:
The churches of Christ model their name after the first century Christians, just as they model their beliefs solely on the teachings of the Bible. "Greet one another with a holy kiss. The churches of Christ greet you" (Romans 16:16). So, no we are not Mormons who use a different book, the Book of Mormons, as the standard of their faith. We have numerous articles on problems with the Mormon beliefs which I invite you to read.
While the King James Version is a fine translation, it is not the best nor the most accurate translation. See "Why don't you use the King James Version?"
Probably a good summary regarding the churches of Christ can be found in the article "What Makes the Church of Christ Different?"
