“I’ve got go out for a while Mr. Slick (?) so I won’t be able to respond for a while...I’ll pick it up later tonight...”

What differences do your responses make? You are not disputing the teachings of the UCG, only the fact that I used an article from CARM to expose them. But, all Christians reject groups which deny the Trinity, and have for all ages.

From the Catholic EWTN list of Cults:

“Worldwide Church of God - Leader: Hurbert W. Armstrong
. Jesus is a part of the godhead (God is a family) and men can become like Jesus and part of the God family - Sons of God. They do not believe in a closed godhead (TRINITY). The Holy Spirit is not considered a person, but the Father and the Son work through it. (Derivate cult - International Church of God. Leader: Son of Herbert, George, was disowned by his father and started this group that believes the same, but claims that the Worldwide Church lost its authority when Herbert divorced his wife.)”

These are, of course, the same teachings that your descendant group upholds. Though it’s also outdated, since Armstrong’s successor, in 95, reformed the worldwide church of God and renounced these things. Your group, however, split from them and still upholds these doctrines. From my copy of Walter Martin’s “Kingdom of the Cults”:

“Most of the splinter cults of Armstrongism retain the name ‘Church of God’ somewhere in their title. They mix legalism, including strict Sabbatarianism, with a variety of Armstrong’s leading doctrinces. Two other noteworthy groups among these are the Global Church of God, located in San Diego, California, and the United Church of God in Arcadia, California. The former has a television following on two superstations covering much of the United States, while the latter publishes The Good News magazine and covers thirty television stations with programming.” (Walter Martin, The Kingdom of the Cults, Ed. Hank Hanegraaff. Pg. 472)

Your arguments are absolutely irrelevant so long as your religion teaches what it does.

As for whether or not I’m Matt Slick, the Catholics here have accused me of being James White. Why not add another name to my legend?
