This is a publication of the United Church of God, an offshoot of Herbert
W. Armstrong's Worldwide Church of God. It started in response to reforms
made by the leadership of the Worldwide Church of God that brought it more
in line with Evangelical Christianity.
The United Church of God teaches Herbert W's original doctrines. These
include the following:
God consists of two "beings," the Father, and Christ, that make up a
family.
Humans can participate in the family of God (similar to Mormon doctrine).
Saturday is the Sabbath (like the 7th Day Adventists).
Satan is in control of the earth.
The Anglo-Saxons are the descendants of the lost tribes of Israel (lots of
potential racism here, as this belief is shared by Christian Identity
groups).
Adherence to Old Testament festivals and food laws (i.e. no pork, no
Christmas or Easter).

God consists of two "beings,"
three.
the Father, and Christ, that make up a
family.

Satan is in control of the earth.
satan the devil walks this earth and tempts people
to wreck their life. most people follow satan and
become the wreck.
very very very few of us know the truth of how The Lord
God ALmighty gave to adam dominion, supreme authority over
this earth and the things of this earth. satan took that
dominion from adam and from mankind. The Lord Jesus defeated
death and satan to regain for mankind that dominion. The Lord
Jesus has made by His deed the restoration of that gift available
to mankind who by faith and faith alone are willing to receive the
gift of life and the ability by the power of God to defeat satan....
life is GRAND, my life is a gift and GRAND it is.

today the culture of materialism used their
newspaper to explained to theirs how to keep
the fire in the fire place.
a long list of how to care for a dead tree.
live trees in the forest are a beautiful sight
and a precious gift from The Lord God Almighty.
btw - top posting places the answer before the question.

Perhaps the following will be helpful... it is straight from the
scriptures.... after reading the word you will easily be able to discern
that xmas trees are not approved by the LORD... but they are an
abomination..... as well as all of the other acoutrements of Christmas.
Jeremiah 10
Jer 10:1 Hear ye the word which the LORD speaketh unto you, O house of
Israel:
Jer 10:2 Thus saith the LORD, Learn not the way of the heathen, and be
not dismayed at the signs of heaven; for the heathen are dismayed at them.
Jer 10:3 For the customs of the people are vain: for one cutteth a
tree out of the forest, the work of the hands of the workman, with the ax.
Jer 10:4 They deck it with silver and with gold; they fasten it with
nails and with hammers, that it move not.
Jer 10:5 They are upright as the palm tree, but speak not: they must
needs be borne, because they cannot go.
