I expect everyone to pile on so it’s okay....just do it. I was raised Pentecostal by a preacher grandfather and God fearing grandmother so spent many many hours in church every week. But so many churches/people condemning other people is the exact reason I don’t go to church! I just don’t, and I guess never will understand, why so many Christians must act holier than thou. They need lessons from Mother Theresa. Just my opinion, take it or leave it and flame away.

Unfortunately you're right. Within any church organization or belief system there is the tendency, driven by the wolves in sheep's clothing, to tear down others. The agenda is Satanic and is designed as an attempt to minimize, obscure, and otherwise demean the body of Christ.

When you say Body of Christ which Christ are you talking about?
mormonISM? Christianity? They are not the same Christ.

Well, yes, and no, Douglas.

I mean "yes" that the "wolves" referenced in Scripture are indeed "internal" within the Church (see Acts 20:29-30) versus, say, almost-complete strangers you encounter on a Web site...oh, say, just to throw out such a Web site, Free Republic for example...

...and yet, ALL: See what Douglas claims here: "ANY" -- and the clear implication is "ANY" as in "ALL" church organizations, a "Satanic" agenda is afoot; and that this "tendency" is somehow INHERENT "within ANY church organization..."

Now when somebody representing themselves as your average "Joe Christian," I'm not sure how to take the above. BUT when a poster who is representing the following teaching says the above, Yup...I sit up and take notice:

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 (HWA likewise proclaimed his organization was the "one and only true church of God.") What UCG actually follows are the teachings, doctrines and practices of Herbert W. Armstrong who founded the Worldwide Church of God in 1934 (it was originally called "Radio Church of God"), proclaiming it was the "one and only true church of God." UCG believes they are "God's true church" evidenced by their "obedience to God's Laws" and being a "small flock."

Keep this up and NO one will be ALLOWED to point out false teachings!
