Douglas, on the thread I linked above, one of the posters said that the United Church of God teaches Anglo-Israelism. Is this true?

This whole Anglo-Israelism is so close, and yet so wrong.

Everyone knows it's the Irish who are God's chosen people. :-)

Of course I can't speak for what Douglas's Church teaches now, but the WWCofGers followed the book Herbert wrote called, The United States and Britain in Prophesy.

Herbert had supposedly pleasurized his information from other sources, but his main presentation was that the US and Britain, were the descendants of Ephraim and Manasseh, the sons of Joseph by the Pharaoh's daughter.

Jacob, when blessing them, crossed his hands and gave the greater blessing to the younger son, Ephraim, which they taught was to become the United States, and the lesser blessing to Manasseh, who was Britain. Gen 48:1-22

This was the most compelling books to come from Herbert, and I would still like to believe it, as it was a great read.
