“So exactly how does one demonstrate ‘pro-God’? Does not one have to at least attempt to familiarize ones self with the WORD in order to have even the most elementary of discussion. Now I will await the ‘command’ that put you in charge of what is or is not ‘pro-God’!”


We are told to try the spirits, to see whether they are of God or not:

1Jn_4:1 Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world.

Preaching a different Gospel than that passed on to us by the Apostles is serious business:

Gal 1:6-9 I marvel that ye are so soon removed from him that called you into the grace of Christ unto another gospel: (7) Which is not another; but there be some that trouble you, and would pervert the gospel of Christ. (8) But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed. (9) As we said before, so say I now again, If any man preach any other gospel unto you than that ye have received, let him be accursed.

This does not refer to things of “doubtful disputation”:

Rom 14:1-5 Him that is weak in the faith receive ye, but not to doubtful disputations. (2) For one believeth that he may eat all things: another, who is weak, eateth herbs. (3) Let not him that eateth despise him that eateth not; and let not him which eateth not judge him that eateth: for God hath received him. (4) Who art thou that judgest another man’s servant? to his own master he standeth or falleth. Yea, he shall be holden up: for God is able to make him stand. (5) One man esteemeth one day above another: another esteemeth every day alike. Let every man be fully persuaded in his own mind.

(Ironically, dietary and holy day commandments are two of the major things the UCG “disputes” about. They are majorly important to the UCG’s theology.)

It refers to those central tenets of Christianity which no one can reasonably deny and still call themselves Christian. I don’t think I need to give a complicated explanation of why believing in two Gods, and of people entering into the Godhead, is a serious problem.

UCG is beginning to also associate very much with the New Age Spirituality in their teachings....though they deny so. Their tactics are similar as well.

What example did Christ set? Did He break the ‘health’ laws? Now I am not about to attempt to convince you that the swine did not get made into a creature cleaned for to be eaten. Gentiles were considered common and unclean, Christ's journey opened the door to them, as was the purpose of Peter's vision. But hey, I have been told by the best of them that vision was about making the named unclean creatures now clean. The health laws were given to the children of Israel and not even Christ broke a single one of them.

As far as the ‘feasts’ ordained by God, Christ became our ‘rest’ or Sabbath. Meaning we are to be in Him everyday not just one day of the week. Christ certainly never celebrated the ancient practice of Easter, and quite frankly the word Easter was not the word used, some scribe replaced the word Passover with the word Easter.

I really do not know much about the Mormon religion. I do not have the time or inclination to study recent prophets.

I was raised in the WWCoG, so I have intuitively burned into my being the recognition a hold denominationalism can take over ones mind. I believe that each and every child of God will be on judgment day held to account for their own actions and personal responsibility. I also believe that God the only perfect judge can know the ability and stability of each and every individual mind.

I believe those Ten Commandments are very much still in effect today as they were when they were first written by the hand of God. Christ said you break one you break them all. I also believe there should not be too much of a surprise to those ‘trying’ the spirits why this nation is in a heap of hurt.

Quite frankly I have far less repulsion reading these threads than I do reading about that twisted doctor on trial for the wholesale slaughter of unborn and born babies. I find it abhorrent beyond words. Or these two demented freaks that decided serving their god required them to murder and cripple as many people as their ieds could accomplish. Twisted stuff like this should not be taking place in this nation, under God.
