WHAT IS ARMSTRONGISM? IS THE WORLD WIDE CHURCH OF GOD AND IT'S OFFSPRINGS A CULT?

 Herbert Armstrong was the founder of the World Wide Church of God and in my opinion was a false prophet and the leader of a cult religion. His teaching mixed law and grace which Paul condemns in the strongest terms saying that anyone who does so is under a curse.

Galatians 3:10: For as many as are of the works of the law are under the curse: for it is written, cursed is every one that continues not in all things which are written in the book of the law to do them.

Armstrong said that his followers were under obligation to keep the law of Moses and keep all the holy days as mentioned in Leviticus 23.

Galatians 2:3-5: But not even Titus, who was with me, being a Greek, was compelled to be circumcised: And that because of false brethren unawares brought in, who came in privily to spy out our liberty which we have in the Messiah Jesus  - Yeshua, that they might bring us into bondage: To whom we gave place by subjection, no, not for an hour; that the truth of the gospel might continue with you.

Paul would have labeled Armstrong a false teacher/brother who indeed brought people into the bondage of the law of Moses, and requiring them to circumcise their children on the eighth day after birth.Titus was not circumcised, in order to join an assembly of God.

Galatians:2:16: Knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law, but by the faith of Jesus - Yeshua the Messiah, even we have believed in Jesus - Yeshua the Messiah, that we might be justified by the faith of the Messiah, and not by the works of the law: for by the works of the law shall no flesh be justified.

This statement by Paul totally condemns all that Armstrong did by saying his followers had to keep the law in order to be saved and enter the kingdom of God, which is a Satanic lie.

Galatians 3:13: The Messiah has redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, cursed is every one that hangs on a tree: The Messiah became a sin-offering for us to be reconcilled to our God and Father Yehovah.

What Armstrong taught was a total rejection of what the anointed one Jesus - Yeshua did for us by allowing himself to be crucified, and become a sin-offering sacrifice. 

Anyone who mixes law with grace is under a curse and is following a false gospel, Paul makes that very clear all through the letter he wrote to the Galatians.

Nothing in my hand can I bring to earn salvation, only to his cross [stake] I cling, realizing that I can do nothing to earn salvation. Knowing that my lord and savior has done all on my behalf to reconcile me to his God and his Father and my God and my Father Yehovah. There is no other means or way to gain salvation but in the name of the lord Jesus - Yeshua Yehovah's anointed one. His is my all!
