New name for WCG<\/a> online education<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

W<\/span>e are pleased to make two announcements. Our online graduate <\/em>program will now be known as Grace Communion Seminary<\/strong>; secondly, we are opening enrollment to WCG members who have bachelor degrees.<\/p>\n

The name Grace Communion Seminary (GCS) has been adopted as an appropriate description of the theological content and level of our online graduate program. Ambassador College, a California Corporation, will now be doing business as Grace Communion Seminary…<\/p>\n

“Assimilating New People” seminar…<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

The truth is that WCG is using the term “grace” a lot these days.\u00a0 However, notice what the NIV teaches about some who did that:<\/p>\n

They are godless men, who change the grace of our God into a license for immorality (Jude 4, NIV).<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

And truly, that is what happened to WCG.\u00a0 Those there simply do not understand grace.\u00a0 WCG now teaches license to sin, but they like to use the term grace as a cover.<\/p>\n

They really need to study what the Bible really teaches.<\/p>\n

Several articles of related interest may include:<\/em><\/p>\n

What Did Jesus Teach About the Ten Commandments?<\/a> This article quotes what Jesus actually said about them (His words are in red<\/span>).
\nWere the Ten Commandments Nailed to the Cross?<\/a> Some have said so. This article provides some biblical quotes to answer this important question.
\nWhat Did Paul Actually Teach About the Ten Commandments?<\/a> Many say Paul taught against the ten commandments. Is this true? This article quotes Paul with his words in green<\/span>.
\nAre the Ten Commandment Still in Effect?<\/a> This article quotes the ten commandments and combines some of the previous articles into one article about the ten commandments. The commandments are shown at Mount Sinai, before Mount Sinai, in the teachings of Jesus, after the crucifixion, and in the teachings of Paul. It addresses the most common “traditions of men” regarding them as well.
\nWere the Pharisees Condemned for Keeping the Law or Reasoning Around it?<\/a> Many believe that the Pharisees were condemned for keeping the law, but what does your Bible say? If they were not condemned for that, what were they condemned for?
\nThe Ten Commandments Reflect Love, Breaking them is Evil<\/a> Some feel that the ten commandments are a burden. Is that what Jesus, Paul, Peter, James, and John taught?
\nWas the Commandment to Love the Only Command?<\/a> Some have stated that John’s writings teach this, but is that what the Bible really says?<\/p>\n

The Ten Commandments and the Early Church<\/a> Did Jesus and the Early Church keep the ten commandments? What order were they in? Here are quotes from the Bible and early writings.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
