Sabbath Keepers in America! The Seventh Day Baptists in America date from about the same period that their brethren in England began to organize regular churches. [But not when they became a denomination. So they came over here at least at the same time churches began to be organized in England.] Mr ...

Just what is "The Church?" What is its object and purpose — its real mission? Is it an ORGANIZATION, or a spiritual ORGANISM, composed of those saints whose names are written in heaven, and who have, and are led by, the Holy Spirit? And, granting it is not just some one organization, ...ye ...

Church In Wilderness: As a result of the Council of Nicea, 325 A.D., the great false church commenced 1,260 years of tribulation against God's Church (Rev. 12:6). The true church fled into the valleys and mountains of Europe and Asia Minor. So it isn't going to be as obvious as it was when we re ...

In the world today there are 961,122,000 professing Christians. "Christianity" is by far the LARGEST single religion on earth. Islam, the second largest, is not half as big. But how many in the Western world, which calls itself "Christian," understand what REAL CHRISTIANITY is? How many really KNOW ...

I have now finished the task I proposed to myself. Even yet the evidence is not nearly exhausted; but, upon the evidence which has been adduced, I appeal to the reader if I have not proved every point which I engaged to demonstrate. Is there one, who has candidly considered the proof that has been l ...

Prominence in England: In America too exists now the principal remnant of the Seventh Day Baptists. They have nearly disappeared in England though in the 17th century so numerous and active were they as to have called forth such writers as these who wrote treatises against them and about their Sabba ...

Jesus said, in Matthew 16:18 I will build my church, and the gates of hell [which should be translated "the gates of the grave." That's what He meant. And the word "hell" there is Hades, which simply means the grave. It doesn't mean the kind of hell that Dante thought it mean ...

Day of Pentecost - THE CHURCH IN GOD'S MASTER PLAN. Did you know that unless Christ's disciples had been KEEPING the Day of Pentecost THEY WOULDN'T HAVE RECEIVED GOD'S HOLY SPIRIT? Without God's Spirit NO ONE could ever inherit eternal life! Without God's Spirit you can't even WORSHIP ...

We are now in the second-almost the third-generation of the Worldwide Church of God. Many if not most Plain Truth readers today know little or nothing about its origin, history, source and nature of its government, and how it came to believe what it believes, or how those beliefs were put by the liv ...

GOD REVEALS HIMSELF! WE LIVE in an age of SKEPTICISM - an age of doubt and disbelief! And no wonder. Modern education has put a premium on MATERIALISM. The mere mention of "God" in the classroom provokes LAUGHTER and RIDICULE. Morality has been thrown to the wind! IS God a myth? An inventi ...

Is The British Monarchy a ridiculous, "old-fashioned" institution that simply refuses to die? Some few Britons have looked upon this Monarchy as "a royal soap opera" - so much useless pomp and ceremonial nonsense, so much "Royal flummery." They view the Monarchy as left ...

Last night in the Bible Study I was reading to you from I Corinthians the 11th chapter and verse 22. I would like to read it again. In verse 28, I should say - verse 28. I Corinthians 11:28 But [and this is just before the Passover, but] let a man examine himself, and so let him eat of that bread an ...

Generations of agnostics and religionists alike have been baffled. Hot debate has raged for centuries. Philosophers have long inquired about God's whereabouts. Theologians have long made excuses for His absence. But must we make excuses for God? Why has God hidden Himself? It's time to get a str ...

You live in a world of awesome progress, but paradoxically, of appalling evils. WHY? It's a world held captive, deceived into loving its captivity. Deliverance from kidnap in deception, human discontent, suffering and death hastens nearer. World peace, happiness and joy are just around the corner. ...
