Good grief, he's your founder. I would think some of his writings, other than the Anglo-Israel ones, are still around your church.
From Christianity Today:
Armstrong vehemently opposed the doctrine of the Trinity. "There is not one God, but two," he wrote. "God the Father, the Possessor of heaven and earth, the Father of Jesus Christ; and the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, the active Creator of heaven and earth—the One who became Jesus Christ."Does any of this sound familar to you?The WCG belief in a "God Family" has been likened to the Mormon belief that the faithful will one day attain godhood. "Our potential," wrote Armstrong, "is to be born into the God Family, receiving total power! We are to be given jurisdiction over the entire universe!. … We shall impart life to billions and billions of dead planets."
A WCG publication offered further clarification: "At the time of the resurrection we shall be instantaneously changed from mortal into immortal—we shall then be born of God—we shall then be God!"
He's not "my founder". My founder is Jesus Christ. I never belonged to the Worldwide Church of God.
Does any of this sound familar to you?
Nope. I never read that article in Christianity Today. I do believe that we are children of God. The bible states this clearly. I also believe that Jesus Christ is our elder brother. The bible says this. I also believe that when Christ appears, that we will be like him. The bible says this. I believe that God, the father, is my father in heaven. The bible says this too. I also think that we are destined to be a kingdom of priests and to rule with our brother Christ. The bible says this.
Now this can be "spun" in language similar to the article to imply that I think I'm going to be "God", but I don't think I'm going to be God the father, but I am, and you are, going to become a literal child of God, like Christ, our brother and saviour.
