	Booklet > Fundamental Beliefs of the United Church of God > Humanity (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
		Human beings live by the breath of life, are mortal, subject to corruption and decay, without eternal life, except as the gift of God under God’s terms and conditions as expressed in the Bible.
		The future of humanity is to be children in the family of God (1 John 3:1-2; 2 Peter 1:4; 2 Corinthians 6:18).
		Human beings can still develop the godly character that is a prerequisite to receiving God’s most precious gift of eternal life as His children (1 Corinthians 15:22; Galatians 2:20).

		The church exists in relation to the world and thus must also define its behavior with regard to the temporal aspect of its existence in the world.
		In the church, the matter is even more critical, because here we have the problem that there is not one particular church but several concrete churches, Evangelical, Catholic, Greek-Orthodox Churches, and so on, each one claiming for itself the specific purity of representation of man under God, which only they can preach.
		Yet no representative of the German Catholic Church, and even less any representative of the German Evangelical Church, told any of these members of the SS (if they themselves did not know that already), who very happily still remained members of the church, that one was not allowed to shoot people dead.

		For the latter, whether the Church is viewed as essential, important or arbitrary, the model of sin as moral failing rests on divine election and adherence to moral, ethical codes as both the cure for sin and guarantor of fidelity.

	Church of Reality
		Humanism is the basis for building a social structure and determining right and wrong in the absence of some holy text declaring the will of mythical deities.

		As we humans progress forward in our evolution from what we were to what we will become we increase our abilities to explore reality the way it really is. Thus the Church of Reality is the exploration of reality by humans, and the positive evolution of humanity is necessary for progress to be made.
