Answer 5

The Living Church of God (LCG) is one of the church groups formed by followers of the teachings of the late Herbert W. Armstrong. It was formed as a series of major doctrinal changes were introduced in the Worldwide Church of God (WCG, originally incorporated as the Radio Church of God) in the 1990s. The leader of the Living Church of God, called the presiding evangelist, is Roderick C. Meredith. Meredith had been a high ranking evangelist in the WCG since 1952, and in terms of ordinations conducted by Herbert W. Armstrong, he has the most seniority.

Brief history

According to Herbert W. Armstrong, the church was to be governed "from the top down." He created a structure of ranks in the WCG ministry that allowed for progressive increases in responsibility and salary, including deacon (unpaid, nonministerial); local elder; preaching elder; pastor; regional administrator, and others. "Evangelist" was the highest rank attainable except for the title of "Apostle," given to Armstrong.

After Armstrong died in 1986, the Worldwide Church of God immediately began to change many of its historic and core doctrines (including the key teaching that the seventh-day Sabbath is holy and set aside for worship). These changes continued until the WCG became a typical "mainstream" Sunday-keeping Protestant church.

Meanwhile, members who did not wish to accept the changes in the faith left the church and joined together in diverse seventh-day Church of God groups, usually according to their proximate geography as well as teachings. Many of these small groups incorporated as churches and then split again over wranglings that ranged from suspected ministerial dereliction of duty to board members running off with church funds to start their own church.

Answer 8

Yes, The leader is Dr. Roderick C. Meredith. He was a part of the Radio - Worldwide Church of God pre 1995 under the leadership of Herbert W. Armstrong. His teaching is of the Sabbatarians and is in line with what the BIBLE TEACHES and not of man's opinion.

In 1995 the Worldwide Church of God Changed it's Doctrinal teachings to be aligned to the Catholic church and her Daughters (aka Protestants Churches) teachings that ARE NOT Biblical.

Use your own Bible and prove his teachings from it. If his teachings are correct, then you have a choice to make. Choose to follow God and his Biblical teachings or man's opinion.

There are many "Church of God" groups that teach the same as Dr. Roderick C. Meredith . Check this list out. http://www.cogwriter.com/#Various_COGs

Answer 9

I attend a Church of God, but this one seems a little much for me. Only God can tell you where you need to be, so if you go and it doesn't seem right, get outta there!!
