A surprising report has just been submitted to me by Mr. Raymond F. McNair, Senior Editor of The PLAIN TRUTH. It had come to my attention that a growing uncertainty was occurring among some in the Church over the matter of counting the day of Pentecost. More than a quarter century ago, when the Head ...

We like to remember the accomplishments of our fellow human beings. We set up philanthropies and foundations named after great individuals in the hope that what they've done won't fade like the proverbial blade of grass. But there's one unique memorial that honors someone who's still alive-a ...

My friends, one of the most shocking things that can possibly happen is to wake up to find out that the Gospel of Jesus Christ is not what we have believed at all and that we have not heard it. And that what we have believed is exactly the opposite of what the Bible says and what Jesus actually taug ...

Fortunately for us, a young man asked Jesus about how to have eternal life - and we have Jesus' answer recorded! Adam and Eve, way back there in the Garden of Eden, were told that they could have eternal life if they would just partake of the tree of life in the midst of the garden. Unfortunately, ...

A letter from a Plain Truth reader brings up this basic question: How clearly must God speak on a subject before we obey Him? Most churchgoers refer to God as "the Lord." Did you ever wonder why? Even people who are not religious talk about the "Lord," if only when some major cri ...

Mr. Armstrong's series of broadcasts on Hebrews produced thousands of requests for this intriguing article. FEW MYSTERIES of the Bible have attracted more interest than the mystery of the identity of Melchizedek. Who is he? You will read in Hebrews 6:19-20 that Jesus Christ, after His resurrection ...

Once we have been converted and put into God's church, should we continue to meet with our acquaintances on Sunday, or send our children to Sunday School? ON THE recent baptizing tours, it has come to our attention that one of the most important problems that new converts face is how to separate f ...

Was the Festival of Tabernacles a part of the "law of Moses"? It is commanded in the New Testament? Did the apostle Paul observe it after everything was "nailed to the cross?" YOU are now a part of the true New Testament Church of God, if you have been baptized and have received the Spirit of God. Y ...

Whitsunday," says the Encyclopaedia Britannica, is "one of the three major festivals of the Christian Church" (article "Whitsunday," 1973 edition). But you will never find it by that name in the Bible. Instead, you will read of Christians observing "Pentecost," a term derived from the Greek language ...

Why is it, my friends, if people are already saved when they accept Christ, why is it that God doesn't take the new converts immediately to heaven, if heaven is where they are to go? If heaven is the reward of the Christian, and you need to really search your Bible to see whether you can find a de ...

As a member of God's Church you are already familiar with the biblical passages concerning God's millennial Kingdom. However, you may not be aware of the many commentaries about the Millennium and the Feast of Tabernacles found in extrabiblical writings from both the Jews and early Chris ...

Here are the basic principles explaining which Old Testament laws are still in force. Here is how you can know which laws in the Old Testament were changed or are no longer necessary, and which we are commanded to observe today! PEOPLE often ask us, "How can I know the difference between the added c ...

Better be sure whether this brand is upon you! Without it, no man will be able to buy or sell! Without it, you will be tortured even to death! But with it, you shall suffer the SEVEN LAST PLAGUES! SOME say this mystic "mark" is the fasces on our dimes. During World War II many said it was Hitler's ...
