This UCG I take it?

Is God a Trinity?

That's the one...thanks for the link to the excellent booklet!

I can see where defending Mormonism may be of some interest...

Wait...back up the train a moment. When did I defend Mormonism? I asked what should be a straight forward question about what church someone belonged to. What's wrong with that? I should think that any Christian brother or sister would be happy to share their truth with others.

How about you ejonsie22...do you have brethren that you love, worship and fellowship with?

I have no truth; but I do tend to recognize it on the pages of the best selling book.

Yes, I am Methodist with an Orthodox background.

As far as the link, since it show that the UGC is Polytheist, which puts them outside of Christianity, just like the LDS.

A few points from a Wiki article...

-Belief in a non-Trinitarian view of God. Specifically, the belief that the Holy Spirit is the spirit/power of God and of Christ Jesus rather than a separate person in the Godhead. God ‘the Father’ and Jesus Christ are viewed as distinct ‘God beings’ in the ‘God family’.[13]

-Belief that today's mainstream Christian teachings resulted from doctrinal corruption under the influence of Greco-Roman philosophy which occurred early in the history of the church, so that the major Christian churches now teach various pagan ideas and practices under the guise of Christianity. UCG preaches the ancient pagan origins of traditional Christian celebrations (especially Christmas and Easter) render them inappropriate for true Christians.[23][24][25][26][27][28] Members believe that the doctrines and practices of the United Church of God can be traced to the original teachings of Jesus Christ and the early ‘Church of God’ as described in the New Testament.[29][30][31]

All sounds somewhat familiar...
