Please. That's just silly. It was formed by members and directors of the WWCG as a reaction to happenings of the WWCG and your website is full of Armstrong material. To claim no similarity at all is.. well, sorry Doug, silly.
Isn't the Catholic church a branch of Judaism?
"Grafted on "is the way we say it, but, yeah, branching off would be one way to look at it.
Not silly at all. The only church I belong to is the body of Christ, the church of God. I'm sorry if you're having trouble with this distinction, but my allegience is to Christ alone. The United Church of God has beliefs that closely match my own. That's why I attend services and fellowship there. If their beliefs change, I would leave. And it's not "Armstrong" material. It's material publicized by Armstrong, but it's been around for a long time. If you doubt me, name one doctrine on United's website that you think was created by Herbert Armstrong and I'll cite proof of it's existence before Armstrong.
