Something controversial or provocative about this subject A large number of our doctrines are not similar to those of Protestant or Catholic "Christianity". One of the most controversial doctrines is that there is only one body (Eph. 4:4), that the church IS that body (Eph. 1:22-23) therefore there is only one church, and that the church of Christ is that one church.

Something interesting about this subject that others may not know: *chuckle* I do not know what you may not know yet, that is why we are on a q/a site like this. I look forward to discussing what you may not know in the future!

What do you still hope to achieve/learn in this field? I hope to provide clear, concise answers to those seeking to know more about the body of Christ primarily in order to reach others with the truth, but also to dispel some of the false notions about the church.

What do you like about this subject? I enjoy discussing this subject because it provides me a further way to fulfill my duties to God: preach the gospel (Matt. 28:19; Mark 16:15), to give answer for the reason of my hope (1 Pet. 3:15), and to earnetly contend for THE faith (Jude 3). I love God and His Word so the more I meditate on things above, the better off I am all around.
