Bible Note: 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) |
