There have been many individual churches and denominations called the "Church of Christ". The Church of Christ can also refer to all of Christianity, or to those in the New Testament Church organized by Jesus Christ. While each of these have similar Christian beliefs, their practices vary.
Are you referring to the Reorganized Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, the Restoration Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, or the Remnant Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints? The Reorganized Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is the largest of the above, but changed its name to "Community of Christ" in 2001, and therefore is no longer referred to as "RLDS". They do not practice polygamy and often deny that Joseph Smith taught or practiced the doctrine. The Restoration Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is a smaller group that broke off from the Community of Christ in 1991. They do not practice polygamy either. The Remnant Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is another small group which broke off of the Community of Christ. Their origins are in the year 2000. They do not practice polygamy. Don't get the above confused with the Restoration Church of Jesus Christ, which broke off from the main body, the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. They are known for their open practice of homosexuality, and at least a handful of members are in openly homosexual polygamous relationships. It is the FLDS (Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints), not the RLDS that is known for its practice of polygamy.
The Catholic Church is the Mystical Body of Christ, as such it is tasked with bringing people to Christ, and Christ to people in the sacraments. It is up to individual Christians to put their beliefs into practice, the Church itself does not normally address issues like this as the Church, it leaves these up to its members.
Because man, organising the church says so. But it is not a Bible practice.
They are in communion because Christ is the head of his church while the church his body. The spouse of Christ is the church.
The church of Christ
No. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (commonly called the "Mormon" church) does not and has never practiced any form of castration.
No, the Romney's in Mexico no longer practice polygamy, and have not for about 100 years. They are members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, which has prohibited the practice.
President Barack Obama was a member of the United Church of Christ, and attended Trinity United Church of Christ in Chicago. Obama was elected U.S. President in 2008.
As of January 2011, there are 14.1 million baptized members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the "Mormon" church) worldwide. Estimates are that about 60% of those actively practice the religion.
The true church is called the "body of Christ". Christ is the Head and the church is the body.
The Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (commonly called the "FLDS") began with a group of people who left the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in the 1890's, when the church outlawed the practice of polygamy. The Fundamentalist Church is estimated to have a few thousand members that live mostly in closed societies in Utah, Arizona, Texas, Colorado, and British Columbia. The majority of these members are believed to practice polygamy. You can go to the FLDS official websites at the "Related Links" below.
All churches are the 'churches of Christ' as long as they believe in Jesus Christ, Holy God, Holy Spirit and Christianity. The Catholic Church is the Church of Christ here on earth. The Churches of Christ is also a denomination. Their churches are identified by the name Church of Christ... For example, Stuartville Church of Christ or Plat City Church of Christ.
