Shalom Goodnewsminister, Do you subscribe to the teachings of Herbert W. Armstrong? Because if you do, I'm sorry it is you who ought to practice what you preach and prove all things, because Dr. Armstrong taught a false gospel and a false Christ. The living church of god is an offshoot of the old World Wide Church of God. I pray that you will delve into the scripture and ask The Holy Spirit, Who is God by the way ,not an impersonal it as Dr. Armstrong taught, to lift the scales from your eyes that you may see clearly that "the Word of God is living and active and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the division of the soul and spirit, and of joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart." Heb 4:12. We all haved transgressed the law of God, and we all need a Savior and His name is Jesus, God incarnate, Who lived the perfect life in our place, And became our sinless blameless, unblemished, atoning sacrifice. "There is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved." Act 3:12b. and "For no other foundation can anyone lay than that which is laid, which is Jesus Christ." 1Cor 3:11. In Christ jude 2425 |

No, I do not subscribe to all of his teachings, although he was faithful to the Gospel of the Kingdom, the same Gospel that Jesus preached and hence, in this, he was correct. I do not fault him for this stand. Where he did err was his insistance upon keeping all the old laws and celebration of the Old Testament, but he still had more truth than most of the churches today who teach a false gospel of 'Truth Jesus and be saved', this is NOT the Gospel that Paul preached, nor Peter nor Jesus or any of the others. Peace I leave with you, His peace. In Him, The Good News Minister |

Jude2425: "Shalom Goodnewsminister, Do you subscribe to the teachings of Herbert W. Armstrong?" Goodnewsminister: "He [Herbert W. Armstrong] still had more truth than most of the churches today." ____________________ Who is Herbert W. Armstrong? 'The Worldwide Church of God became known for an assortment of doctrinal distinctives that placed it at odds with historic Christianity. Among other aberrations, Armstrong: 'Condemned the Trinity as a pagan doctrine. 'Taught that “all saints” become little gods after their resurrection. 'Denied that Christians can be born again prior to the resurrection. 'Promoted Anglo-Israelism, the belief that British people are the literal descendants of the ten “lost” tribes of Israel. 'Urged keeping the Old Testament law, including strict Sabbath observance and dietary restrictions. 'Prohibited celebrating Christmas or Easter, which he condemned as pagan holidays. (Instead, WCG members observed seven Holy Days: Passover, the Festival of Unleavened Bread, Pentecost, the Festival of Trumpets, the Day of Atonement, the Festival of Tabernacles, and the Last Great Day.) 'Forbade members to consult medical doctors when sick. 'Stressed tithing to a legalistic extreme. (Strictly observant WCG members gave 30 percent: 10 percent for a regular tithe, 10 percent to support the annual Feast of Tabernacles, and 10 percent intended to support widows and orphans within the WCG) 'Forbade members to remarry after divorce and insisted that they remain celibate if they remarried after divorce. 'Insisted that the WCG was the only true church. 'Closed the movement’s doors to visitors and welcomed only converts.' ____________________ (http://www.equip.org/free/DW070.htm) |

It must be emphasized that God the Holy Spirit has done an amazing work within the Worldwide Church of God in bringing it to Christian orthodoxy. One can read about it by looking at the history of the organization on their web site: http://www.wcg.org "goodnewsminister" apparently is a member of a splinter cult known as the Living Church of God, one of the groups who longed to cling to heresy rather than stay with the cult God was bringing into line with biblical truth. Why he is still allowed to post here is beyond me. --Joe! |

Shalom Reformer Joe, Thanks for your post, we certainly must acknowledge that God has indeed done a great work in the hearts of these folks. For only He could have done such a work as this. God never ceases to amaze me. Praise His Holy Name. There's also hope that goodnewsminister will turn from the kingdom of darkness to The Kingdom of Light. In Christ, jude2425 |
