You know, I used to say, well, all of these churches can't be wrong, you can't tell me that they're all wrong, these are the churches of Christ - of course they are. Of course, they may be a little bit divided - one believes one thing and another another, along certain lines, but then does tha ...

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. ...

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 ...

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! Following is a direct quote from the tape of his sermon before a group of area churches at Rochester, New York, May 27, 1978. These st ...

The lid is off the shocking story of WHO and WHAT the mysterious "Antichrist" really is. You need to open your mind to understand this vital TRUTH - here made plain for the first time. Why can't you worship God just as you please? Or can you? Does it make any difference? The existence of ...

...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.

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 ...

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? Did Jesus Christ intend his Church to become divided? Did Jesus Christ give his Church the commissio ...

The Apostle Paul wished a curse - twice - on any who would dare to preach the wrong gospel message (Gal. 1:8-9). Yet who really understands what that message really is?
