What do you think about the "United Church of God"?

by tia.dalma in

here is a link to their main site.

http://www.ucg.org/.

i've read a little about them and they do not believe in trinity, and have similar believes as jehovah's witnesses.. they also try to keep all ten commandments, in addition to that.. i did not research all their doctrines, but a lot of them look familiar to me.. what do you think?.

The fundamental Christadelphian beliefs are:

The Bible is God's word and the only message from him. It is without error, except for copying and translation errors. (2 Timothy 3:16, Hebrews 1:1. See also: The Bible, Why I Believe the Bible, and Alleged Biblical Errors.)
There is only one God - the Father. The Holy Spirit is God's power. (John 17:3, Luke 1:35, Deuteronomy 6:4. See also God, Jesus and the Crucifixion, and The Trinity.)
Jesus is the Son of God, and also the son of a human being, his mother Mary, so making him Son of Man. Jesus was tempted just like us because of this. But Jesus was not just a great man, he was the Son of the Most High God, and was perfect. (Luke 1:30-31, John 3:18.See also God, Jesus and the Crucifixion, and The Trinity)
Man is mortal, having no existence when dead. (Psalm 6:5, Isaiah 38:18, Acts 2:29,34)
By living a sinless life, ending with his sacrificial death by crucifixion, Jesus has opened the way of salvation from death. (Hebrews 4:15, 1 Corinthians 5:7, 1 Corinthians15: 20-23, Galatians 3:27-29)
Belief and baptism are essential steps to salvation. (Mark 16:16. See also Baptism and Salvation.)
God raised Jesus from death. Jesus is currently in Heaven, on God's right hand. He will one day return. (Acts 10:40, Romans 8:34, Acts 1:11)
When Jesus returns, he will raise his "sleeping" followers from death and grant immortality to the faithful who have tried to live by God's precepts. (1 Corinthians 15:20-22)
His followers will help him to rule, bringing justice, righteousness and peace to the whole world - the Kingdom of God. (1 Corinthians 15:23-26)

I've been reading more about them (The United church of God) and it looks like they are not as closed to the Biblical christian doctrine as I thought. They do not believe in trinity but they say that when Jesus was on earth he was actually God - like he was the incarnation of God- this seams strage to me.

And they also keep all the hollidays of the old testament, and the sabbath.

Someone here mentioned thr Christadelphians. I've been searching some info about them and it looks like they are closer to the bible. The only idea from their doctrine I do not agree with is that they do not believe in the preexistance of Jesus. Here is their site: http://www.christadelphian.org.uk/

I now have a gay boyfriend! Disfellowship me!

by TimothyT in

i cant believe how amazing i now feel as opposed to how aweful my life was but 4 months ago.. after some careful consideration, i decided to be gay despite being a jw.. the moment i chose this course, my life became so positive and i noticeably felt happy again.. 3 months ago i met a lovely man who took an interest in me.

one week ago we decided it was time to become boyfriends.. well, i feel incredible.

all i can say is that this course of life based on my being true to myself, despite the fact that it contradicts what i have been brought up to believe, has made life worth living again.. despite being gay, and slowly coming out to those who matter to me, i also have come to realise how flawed this organisation is anyway.. im a keen bible student but i dont see the organisations claim to authority.. to be honest, ill be glad to get out of it and start living my life as happily as i can whilst still trying my best to serve god.. thanks to those who supported me and of course to my boyfriend 'jackal' who joined this forum in order to understand what has made up my entire upbringing!.

"All i can say is that this course of life based on my being true to myself, despite the fact that it contradicts what i have been brought up to believe, has made life worth living again."

I can not believe - you are such a fake person, you speak about being true to yourself but you are still a Jehovah's Witness AND a gay!

Go and write a letter of disassociation, if you realy want to be true to yourself.

Go and tell the elders in your congregation "Disfellowship me!", what's the use of saying this on this forum, no one knows your real name anyway.

You are a coward and a fake, not a person true to himself.
