The Plain Truth About the "Sacred Name" - Herbert W Armstrong - November-December 1972

Herbert W Armstrong

This is the first of a series of articles in this issue on the Hebrew-name question. There is only one name whereby we may be saved. We want all of our members to BE SURE, on PROOF overwhelming and irrefutable, that we have that name! Let me, first, tell you of my experience, and a bit of history regarding the "Sacred Name" doctrine. I first encountered this teaching, and made a study of it, in 1937, thirty-five years ago. It was then apparently a new idea or contention arrived at by one or more zealous but unscholarly men. Careful examination proved it absolutely false, and contrary to the teaching and example set by Jesus Christ Himself. It also was totally contrary to the example of the apostles, and of the inspiration of the Holy Spirit. - Information Supplied By: Herbert W Armstrong Library
