Doctrinal Beliefs

7

I have read your statement of beliefs. I find it hard to accept Jesus as God. I believe Jesus is the Messiah but not God. Do you believe that Jesus is also God?

This teaching is difficult to swallow.

I recently received your Good News magazine and found it very interesting. I would like to know what denomination you are associated with so I don't get confused about the information I am reading.

Are you associated with any particular christian denomination? How do I interpret your teachings?

What is the Bible "in its original form"? Is it some version of the King James translation, or is it a preKing James publication? Where can one find the Bible in its original form that has been translated into English?

What did you mean in your article "Isn't It About time You Read the Book?" when you referred to the Bible in its original form?

I was just wondering why women aren't allowed to give sermonettes and sermons?

I think that women could give equally inspiring messages. Although we can give our ministers ideas for sermons, it might have more impact coming from a woman's perspective.

If it is OK to read some fantasy novels and watch some movies, would it be OK to read novels involving the dead, vampires and werewolves?

Are all these things totally wrong or are there acceptable ones?

3

Is it wrong to read the Harry Potter books?

From what I've heard at camps and in my congregation, the ministers seem to think it's wrong, but none of them have read the books themselves. Please give me an answer from someone who has read them, if possible.

When Satan was cast down from heaven after his rebellion, did his appearance change?

Does he look the same now?

Revelation 12: 9 calls Satan a dragon. Is that what he always looks like?

Is it just symbolic or does he always appear as such?

How did people spend the Sabbath in the Old Testament? So did they just sleep the day away?

From my understanding, they didn't have services like they did in the New Testament.

It seems like every family has a different way of keeping the Sabbath. How should I determine how to keep the Sabbath?

Some watch television while others do not. Some allow their kids to go to sports games Friday nights while others don't. Every time I spend a Friday night with a Church friend who grew up keeping the Sabbath differently than me, I become more and more confused about how it should be kept. There seems to be no standard other than the obvious refusing to be paid for work on the Sabbath.

What is wrong with playing sports on the Sabbath?

by United Church of God

Why can't I play sports on the Sabbath?

8

Why do other churches worship on Sunday rather than the seventh-day Sabbath?

Did God change it or is it a misunderstanding of scripture?

Are the Koran and Islam similar to the Bible and Christianity?

Are they inspired writings?

What is the New Age movement all about?

It's such a big deal, what's its story?

What do you think of the various sightings of Noah's ark on Mt. Ararat that have been reported?

Many sightings of what appeared to be the ark of Noah have been reported on Mt. Ararat, the same mountain on which the Bible indicated it would come to rest. There have also been many photos taken of the area by satellites indicating something made of wood that is not a part of the natural terrain of the mountain.

Does Noah's ark still exist? If so, where would it be?

Is it possible archaeologists could find this ancient, Biblical artifact?

What do people mean when they claim we don't have to keep God's Law anymore under the New Covenant because it's written on our hearts?

Some say that what we do should be based on what we feel in our hearts and that it is no longer necessary to keep the Commandments. Further, some say that we only keep God’s laws, such as observing the Sabbath and Holy Days, voluntarily.

Is it wrong to lie in order to save someone's life?

In a very tough situation between life and death, is lying okay?

3

Will Christians go to heaven for 1,000 years when Christ returns?

by United Church of God

Where will they be when Christ comes back?

Can babies be born after the rapture?

Will life continue after this event?
