Greetings again from Pasadena! It is good to be back and a wonderful Passover season was experienced in nearly all areas of God's Church around the world. Several of us from Headquarters were privileged to fly out and visit some of the major church areas during this time. ...

The major problem with studying Judaism of 1st century Palestine is sources. Our most accurate source, the New Testament, is primarily concerned with teaching Christianity, not describing Judaism or Jewish sects. Josephus gives two conflicting accounts of the Pharisees and Sadducees. The rabbinic li ...

Church Anniversaries: There seems to be more and more interest in celebrating the anniversary of the beg innings of local Churches. As the number of Churches approaching their 20th or 25th anniversary increases, more and more questions come up regarding the cost of these celebrations. ...

Is your ultimate fate decided for you in advance? No subject has baffled, perplexed, and worried people more. Here, for the first time, many will read the astonishing truth, so plain all can understand. THE very fact of wartime casualties and accidental deaths has caused a great deal of added sorrow ...

WAR WITH AMALEK! MOSES now spoke to the people, who by this time were willing and eager to listen to words of advice. They were shocked by God's mighty presence in a cloud that supernaturally appeared. "God has told me," Moses said to them, "that He has heard all of your complaints. ...

Should Christians be baptized on behalf of dead friends and relatives who died unbaptized? Did Paul teach baptism for the dead? - Why did Jesus Christ have to suffer to become perfect, since He never sinned? ...

In one of the last two speeches Mr. GTA made while still a member of God's church, was a SOLEMN PROMISE, which shows he cannot be trusted in what he is now saying!

The name means "hallowed evening." But is it really? Where did it come from? What is it all about? And is it really good for children? Creepy goblins, ghosts and demons, witches on brooms, spiders and bats, dead men's bones, flickering jack-o-lanterns, black cats, eerie costumes and part ...

...life, the ministry, and the experience of Jesus Christ, the example that He set, and finding out why it is, that He taught exactly contrary to what the churches teach today. They call themselves Christian. They say they're preaching the gospel of Jesus Christ. But they do preach a gospel about ...

Personal from Herbert W Armstrong - WHY are the churches divided? Have the churches failed? Do we really understand what is the real PURPOSE - the divine MISSION - of the Church Jesus Christ founded?

Where did CHRISTMAS come from? How did NEW YEAR'S Day celebration start? How did we come to observe EASTER? What is the true origin of Hallowe'en, St. Valentine's Day, and, other so-called "Christian" holidays? Where did we get SUNDAY? In the seventh chapter of the Book of Daniel is an amazing ...

And now continuing, my friends, in the actual life and the ministry of Jesus Christ to see why it is that He taught something entirely different than that we hear today.
