Both United and Living are offshoots of the Worldwide Church of God
founded by Mr. Armstrong. I'm not a member of either, and don't see
much real difference in their teachings, other than who's in charge.
Both are pretty close to Mr. Armstrong's teachings circa 1984.
Which might be closer to 'bible teachings' would depend on your
understanding of the Bible.
