The United Church of Christ - Very Liberal, Very Colorful, and Probably Westboro Baptist Church's Worst Nightmare.
What does the UCC teach? - "No Matter who you are or where you are on Life's journey, You're welcome here."
The UCC teaches from a very liberal point of view, such as it being okay to be Homosexual,
Cross-dressing is okay (see deuteronomy 22:5) , etc.
What I'll be focusing on for this post is their stand on Homosexuality
The UCC says...It's okay to be Homosexual, we won't try to change You, Homosexuality is not immoral. (Included in UCC belief section on UCC.org)
The Bible Says... No one is made Homosexual, Homosexuality is unrighteous, Homosexuality is immoral. (1 Corinthians 6:9-12, Galatians 5:12, 1 Timothy 1:10-12, Jude 1:7, etc.)
The UCC is teaching something very unbiblical. The first bible passage I listed in the parentheses says that the unrighteous will not inherit the Kingdom of God. Would You support someone's sexual orientation knowing that it will cause them not to inherit the Kingdom of God?
Please note that I have no grudge against the members of the UCC. I am against it because some of it's teachings are extremely forbidden by God.
Do I believe UCC Members are Saved?
The Bible says that if You proclaim that Jesus is Lord, You are saved. Believing Homosexuality is not good, but it doesn't mean You're going to Hell. If You are a Member of the UCC, and You believe that Jesus is Your Lord and Savior, I will see You in heaven.

Jesus' Birth - Jerusalem or Bethlehem?
A Very simple aspect of Christianity is that Jesus was born in bethlehem. But, in Mormonism, we have a little bit of a contradiction - Was He?
Bethlehem:
(Bible) Matthew 2:1 "After Jesus was born in born in Bethlehem of Judea..."
(Bible) Micah 5:2 "But You, Bethlehem Ephrathah...Out of You will come the one to be Ruler over Israel..."
Jerusalem:
(Book of Mormon) Alma 7:10 "And Behold, He shall be born of Mary, at Jerusalem, the Land of our Forefathers..."
A common Mormon argument about this particular verse is that, since the verse says "at Jerusalem" rather than "in Jerusalem" that it is referring to the Land of Jerusalem, which stretched farther than the actual city. This would be a valid argument, if Bethlehem was actually in that Land.
At that time, The Land and city of Jerusalem was part of The Kingdom of Judah, while bethlehem was located in Judea. Two different places. Bethlehem was obviously not part of Jerusalem in any way.

Did one God create the universe, or did many?
In mormonism, we find something very...interesting. It's in the pearl of great price. You'll see what I mean right here:
Did one god create the universe, or did many?
The Bible Says,
One:
Genesis 1:1 "In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth"
Genesis 1:31 "God saw all that he had made, and it was very good..."
The Pearl of Great price says,
Many:
Abraham 4:1 "...The gods, organized and formed the heavens and the earth."
Abraham 4:3 "And the Gods..."
Abraham 4:4 "And the Gods..."
Abraham 4:5 "And the Gods..."
Abraham 4:6 "And the Gods..."
Abraham 4:7 "And the Gods..."
Abraham 4:8 "And the Gods..."
And so on...
So Mormons - Who, and What, Created the Universe?

Trinity - Three Gods?
Oneness Pentecostals often accuse trinitarians (believers in the trinity) of worshiping three Gods, the Father, the Son, and the Holy spirit. Oneness Pentecostals believe that there is one God, in Jesus Christ.
But the truth is, the Trinity is actually the pinnacle of oneness.
You see, the doctrine of the trinity states that there is one God, manifested in three persons (not people).
Heres how I put the trinity
● The Father: Omnipotent, Omnipresent, everlasting life giver and creator
● The Son: Manifestation of God and Mediator between The Father and Humans
● Holy Spirit: The spiritual presence of God
Although it is impossible to fully understand the trinity, We do know that it is not the belief that there are three Gods.
Jesus did say "I and the Father are one". Even though He doesn't say "in the trinity", He makes it clear that He and God the Father together is oneness.
If You want to protest a heresy, protest the Mormon Godhead, which makes God, Three Gods.

Mormonism - Was God Always God?
A big issue we face when dealing with mormonism is if mormons believe God has always been God.
So what is the answer? Has God always been God?
Yes:
Isaiah 43:10 "Before Me no God was formed, nor shall there be any after Me."
Psalm 90:2 "From everlasting to everlasting, You are God."
Moroni 8:18 "But He is unchangeable from eternity to eternity." (Mormon Scripture)
No:
Joseph Smith - King Follet Sermon "We have imagined and supposed that God was God from all eternity. I will refute that idea, and take away the veil, so that You may see."
Common Mormon Quote - "As man is, God once was, as God is, man may become."
What we find interesting is that not only does the Bible tell us God has always been God, but so does the Book of Mormon (Moroni 8:18). The way Joseph Smith worded his statement directly and literally contradicted his own scripture.
