As Seen on Twitter: “if not true, then false”. “New truth”, how I hate the term! Some of you probably dislike it even more than I do. Frankly, even before the 90s, I could never understand how the “truth” could be “new”! Bethel Church of God (BCG) apparently teaches a…
Mike Bennett of UCG posted this photo of a painting by David Teague. It is “Miracle of the Israelite’s crossing the Red Sea…” It hangs at UCG’s Home Office in the lobby. Now, I realize that this is only a picture, and even then an artist’s rendition, but how many…
Mainstream Christianity and critics of the Churches of God like to criticize the Church for teaching that we human beings were designed to follow the steps of our Elder Brother Jesus and literally become gods. Yet, the COG is not the only one that calls itself “Christian” and teaches that…
I want to take the opportunity to point out some background material related to the Just War series before we continue on in that direction. 22And Moses was learned in all the wisdom of the Egyptians, and was mighty in words and in deeds. 23And when he was full forty…

Sometimes what seems like different ideas come from different directions, yet they hit a common spot. On this blog, I have begun posting a series on The Just War. Then, there are the usual calls for unity from various places. Friday, I posted about “The Church That Was a Mess”….
OK, I’m just going to create a new category called “Google Search”. It is often very weird what pops up on Google. Take the question: What was Loma Armstrong’s height? It isn’t clear if the person thought the answer would be a salvation issue or not …
“How can that be God’s Church? It’s such a mess!” Have you ever heard those words? Yes, they can sting. They sting even worse when whatever preceded them is true. I was reading a Baptist’s blog article, “Thank God for the Church !”, and this jumped out at me: The…
