What Every Reader Needs to Know About the FOUNDATION, HISTORY: AUTHORITY AND DOCTRINE OF THE WORLDWIDE CHURCH OF GOD - Herbert W Armstrong - February 1978

Herbert W Armstrong

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 living Christ into His Church. Every reader needs to know these facts. We hear much about "roots" these days. You need to know not only the trunk of the tree in order to understand the branches and twigs in their right and true perspective-but you need to know about the "roots" from which even the trunk and whole tree (Worldwide Church of God) has grown. First of all you need to know that you live in a world cut off completely from God. Even though I have said it before, let me put it in a brief "nutshell." Let me restate the "roots." Once the GOVERNMENT OF GOD ruled on this earth. God put angels here to inhabit the earth before the creation of man. - Information Supplied By: Herbert W Armstrong Library
