“Jerusalem’s Temple Mount: Center of Conflict”

I want to commend you for the time and effort put into this article. I’ve wondered about the location of the temple for quite a while. This article sheds a whole new light on the subject, citing many facts and evidence that the previous temples were indeed built where the Dome of the Rock is located. I now know some valuable information that I didn’t know before.

“Jesus Wasn’t Crucified on Friday or Resurrected on Sunday”

I read the article “Jesus Wasn’t Crucified on Friday or Resurrected on Sunday” online and thought it did a fantastic job laying out the evidence! It made me really curious if there is a list of what the United Church of God believes. I’ve had a really hard time finding a church that is willing to strictly follow the Bible based on the evidence of what it says, even if that means giving up preconceived notions of what we think, and to always put God’s ways above the ways of man.

Thank you for the compliment. We have a study guide called Fundamental Beliefs of the United Church of God that explains our 20 primary doctrines. You can read it online or request a copy at ucg.org/booklets.

 

Responding to Beyond Today television

I always record your show on the Word Network, but lately nothing has recorded. I have checked my settings and all is good. Have you cancelled your show? I really feel I need it. This show has opened my mind to intense Bible study, and I do not know of any other Bible study that compares. Thank you and God bless.

Thank you for checking with us. On April 6 Beyond Today began airing every week on WGN America, reaching a potential audience of 82 million households in all 50 U.S. states.  Beyond Today ended programming on the Word Network on March 31, 2018. To find the WGN America channel locations in your area please visit wgnamerica.com/channel-finder/ and enter your zip code. You will be shown the providers and channel number(s) on which you can watch WGN America in your area.

I watched your program “Is God A Trinity?” Wow, you said much of what I believe to be truth! Is this the answer I have been praying for? I have always been confused about Jesus being God. I really hope this is the answer I was seeking. I want and need Jesus in my life to fight the horrible anxiety and depression I always feel. Maybe He can help me!

Thankful for free literature

I want to thank you for sending me a free copy of your study aid The Ten Commandments. My wife got it first out of the mailbox. I haven’t gotten my chance to read it yet, but I’ve thumbed through it and can’t wait much longer. In fact it has gone “viral,” and now my wife’s family, my family and a host of my prayer group want to get their hands on a copy!

From the Internet

I really enjoy the wisdom Beyond Today magazine publishes from the Bible. It helps me to understand world conditions in the present and what to look forward to in the future.

Looking for a congregation with the same beliefs

I am searching for a church home that does not practice pagan holidays, that practices the truth revealed by Jesus, observing His appointed days. I am in need of podcasts, as I am in the process of recovering my life after Hurricane Irma. I can’t always afford to go very far. Please send me all you can so I may not grow weary, and that I may be renewed in the Word. I practice reading the Bible daily, and only want to follow the true teachings of Christ.

From the Internet

In my area I can find no churches that preach the biblical truth. They do not seem to know or understand the Word of God. They teach that the soul goes to heaven at death, that the Sabbath was changed to Sunday, etc. Where is there a church that observes the true Saturday Sabbath? I feel compelled to attend a local church, but do not understand how so many can be misled.

Thanks for your letter. The United Church of God has congregations in many areas, and one may be near you. Visit ucg.org/churches to find the closest one to you and to get information to contact our nearest pastor. Our website also offers a vast amount of video and audio teaching, including hundreds of episodes of our Beyond Today television program, a live weekly Sabbath service webcast, and archived sermons from many UCG ministers across the country, to name a few.
