Talk:Living Church of God

message: Wouldn't Ditheism be better?  They don't believe in the Oneness of the Father and the Son in the traditional monotheistic sense. 72.192.122.148 (talk) 14:27, 19 December 2014 (UTC)
thread_title:  Binitarianism 

message: This needs to be edited for objectivism. Things like this, "The Global Church of God became a refuge for those not able to bear with the apostasy of the Worldwide Church of God." show a particularly strong slant. (posted by 80.58.5.237 Mar 13, 2005; originally unsigned) 
:I have spent quite a bit of time editing this article which appeared to be the work of a supporter. Hopefully the current NPOV end result and expanded article which includes a very brief, no names mentioned account of the recent shooting, is what you had in mind. MPLX/MH 01:16, 14 Mar 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: The user above had complained about the article before I had made my additions to it, so he was not objecting to naming the gunman.  If you don't want to mention names, that's fine, but I've restored the source link you deleted and removed your implication that the gunman was acting because of "dissent" with the church's teachings;  authorities have a variety of motives now that they're trying to work through.  Cheers.  --BaronLarf 05:15, Mar 14, 2005 (UTC)
I am a LCG supporter, and just 12/26/05 edited some information for readability, plus statistical accuracy. COGwriter.
This page is not objective. It sounds like an advertisement for the Living Church of God. Some simple Google searches on this church yield some controversial results. Wikipedia should at least be as good as a casual search through Google. This topic is not objective; not because of what it says, but, because of serious omissions. --71.111.130.210 04:49, 25 June 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Needs editing

message: This page is religious advertising (propaganda for what supposedly is "the only true church"), and not objective in any way. It does not belong to an Encyclopedia.
:By all means, then, please help us improve it.  This article is on my watchlist because of my interest in other Armstrong-based churches (Worldwide Church of God, United Church of God), but otherwise I don't know enough about the subject to edit the article at this time.  That's why your edits would be most welcomed. -- SwissCelt 20:51, 6 October 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  This pages is an ad for a church - not objective - does not belong in an encyclopedia. 

message: I thought Wikipedia was supposed to be an on-line "encyclopedia". Is not the purpose of an encyclopedia to give the reader un-biased information on a subject, allowing them to form their own opinions, and draw their own conclusions free from the often bias opinions of others? That is exactly what this seems to be doing. It simply states the beliefs of this Church, (the information about it), and allows the reader to come to their own conclusions about it.ğ—The preceding unsigned comment was added by 207.216.204.84 (talk) 06:03, 13 December 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Does not seem like an advertisment 

message: ...because it omits other important information that an objective writer would include.  The omission--or "deletion" since it was in an earlier version--of the Wisconsin shooting incident is like writing an article on Jim Jones and the People's Temple without mentioning Jonestown, or an article on the Catholic Church which did not mention its controversies.  The listing of doctrinal summaries is pertinent, but there are no footnotes.  We don't know if these are accurate statements or the writer's loose interpretation and possible distortion.  The references need to be there for verification and further review.  This reads more like a religious tract than an objective article on an organization.  And isn't this group the THIRD largest Armstrong offshoot after Philadelphia and United, not the second largest? 130.132.83.44 17:37, 15 May 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Seems exactly like an advertisement 

message: Almost nothing is substantiated. And a listing of their doctrinal statement? Anybody ever heard of a link? Wilburweber 16:18, 24 May 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  Edit conflict 

message: There is currently discussion regarding the creation of a work group specifically to deal with articles dealing with this subject, among others,  here. Any parties interested in working in such a group are welcome to indicate their interest there. Thank you. John Carter (talk) 16:50, 15 March 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Proposed work group 

message: The section on tithing is slightly innacurate.  The first tithe is 10%, the second tithe is also 10%, but that isn't sent to the church (except for the tithe of the second tithe); it is for feast expenses.  (However, the church encourages members to send in anything left over.)  The third tithe is for widows & orphans, and is 10% every third year (except the 7th year is a "jubilee" year).  So it is really closer to 23%.
Overall, the article has improved considerably...

message: "other traditional Catholic or Christian holy days that were adopted by the Catholic Church (and some Protestant denominations) later in history."  partisan. Perhaps could read "other traditional Catholic or Christian holy days that were adopted by the Catholic Church (and some Protestant denominations) later in history, according to Armstrong" (or whoever). While perhaps no Christian claims that Christmas was celebrated from the time of Christ on, they do claim that Easter is apostolic. --Richardson mcphillips (talk) 14:44, 26 December 2018 (UTC)
thread_title:  "that were adopted" 

message: the section "other beliefs" seems to be original research and opinion. and in some cases, like the word "Colosse", fantasy. 142.163.195.117 (talk) 22:17, 10 February 2023 (UTC)
