Texas Eagle;wolfpat, Douglas is posting articles about the united Chuch of g

I'm very proud of my church Cronos and I thank you for highlighting it. But you're doing it in a negative pejorative way!

Start with Fundamental Beliefs. It's NOT your traditional Christianity for sure, but it's also not corrupted like so much of traditional Christianity is.

Next, you can look at This is United Churh of God. This gives you some background about the organization and some of the practices. We're a very small church, but full of the love of Christ.

This are some of the free booklets you can read online. Or you can send for a free paper copy.

This link is to my local congregation in Grand Rapids if anyone wants to stop by and visit.

If you're not around use this to Find a congregation near you

Negative way, yes. Pejorative, no. I just stated the facts -- do you believe these are not true:
Your UCG has the following beliefs:

  1. Christians are begotten as children in the Family of God and will at their resurrection become "spirit-born divine beings who are part of Elohim, the universe-ruling family of God."
  2. 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'
  3. Polytheism in the form of the "God Family"

Negative way, yes. Pejorative, no. I just stated the facts -- Start with Fundamental Beliefs: the UGC is not Christianity for sure, as it is highly deviant and corrupted.

United Church of God believes God is a "family" composed of only Father and Son, and members in "God's Church" who "endure to the end" will, in the first resurrection, become part of this "God family" (a doctrine HWA copied from the Mormons). At that time, they will rule with Christ as spirit beings ("kings and priests") in the Kingdom ("Government") of God on earth in order to teach mankind "God's way of life" which is to bring worldwide peace

United Church of God teaches that they are the "continuation of the one and only true church of God" (tracing their origins to "the church that Jesus founded in the early first century" and following "the same teachings, doctrines and practices established then.").3 What they actually follow are the teachings, doctrines and practices of Herbert W. Armstrong who founded the Worldwide Church of God in 1934e. They believe they are "God's true church" evidenced by their "obedience to God's Laws" and being a "small flock." Members are admonished to "find out where God is working" and to "finish the Work of God" (which members are to support through their tithes and offerings).

I looked at your link This is United Churh of God.

Thank you for it. It clears indicates that your UCG is deviant from Christianity, particularly in the way it says that the Holy Spirit is not God.
