Frank, have you read Todd’s book? Your ad hominem arguments don’t begin to address the issues he raised. Maybe it’s not Todd who needs to repent on these issues. Rich friends don’t necessarily mean one is right.

Todd Deaver has been headed for liberalism for quite sometime. His father, brother Mac Deaver, is hoping and praying for Todd’s repentance. Brother Mac is currently writing a book to refute Todd’s errors. A wealthy businessman down near Dallas has placed $100,000.00 on the table to assist Mac. I am thankful that brother Mac has this amount of courage to stand against his own son. Doesn’t the Bible warn us about these false teachers, like Todd, who lead people astray? I have also heard that TBC is writing a doctrinal review of Todd’s book. Brother duke is heading this up.FrankDenton, Tx

One of my daughters is a member of a former ICOC congregation, but she and her husband attend evening services every week at a mainline church of Christ. They’ve been invited over to dinner with one of the elders, and have a great relationship with them. I think they are even included on the roll at both congregations. My other daughter is a member of a mainline church of Christ. I’ve visited Sunday evening services there several times, and have been invited to lead singing on more than one occasion. They love us and we love them. I’m sure that wouldn’t be the case at every church of Christ but don’t just assume it won’t be.

Excellent idea for a book. The thought actually crossed my mind today that I should try out (just to be friendly) attending a service at Church of Christ down the street (its closer to my home by about a half mile than my favorite church I have been attending for about 10 years). But I thought then, what would they think of me? Would they even consider me a sister because I am part of an unofficial icoc? Would they feel the need to convert me the moment I walked in? I remember thinking when the lid got blown off about 5 years ago, that we would finally get to be on friendly terms with the conservative churches. But I haven’t seen it happen yet, to my knowledge. Has either side officially held out an olive branch?
