Many of Armstrong's ideas were not original with him ~ he picked up plenty of his stuff as he went along. For the most part I don't think he realized that a lot of the conflict over Christmas came about during the period when the followers of Odin and Thor were under heavy pressure to adopt Christianity.

The compromises reached with the Northmen (and those even further North) have not worn well.

But Herb Armstrong was maybe not completely WRONG..
Anglo-Isrealism was Moonbatism of a high order..
But Christmas was pretty easy to research as wholly pagan..

Also Easter (Rabbit and Egg) is a strange development..
Obscene really.. Don't even talk about May Day..

But hey even the names of the days of the week are pagan Gods..
Even some of the names we name our children are pagan gods..
Where does it All stop and start?..

i.e. "the letter of the word kills, but the Spirit gives life"..

It is not "self-evident" that "the historic chr*stian faith" is G-d's True Religion. The historic chr*stian faith must be judged by the Divine Revelation that had already been given at Sinai, not merely assumed to be its fulfillment from the outset.

And as for the trinity, have you noticed how some anti-trinitarians (such as "Oneness Pentecostals") have greater faith in the Word of G-d than trinitarians, many of whom have bought into the whole "the Bible is mythology"/documentary hypothesis nonsense? According to the Catholic Church, one must believe in the trinity in order to be a chr*stian--but you don't have to believe in Biblical inerrancy!

About twelve years ago we had an ultra-rightwing Catholic running in the Republican senatorial primary in our upper Southern state. He based his whole pitch on chr*stianity--this is a chr*stian country, etc. Yet he admitted he didn't regard the Bible as inerrant. And the head of the Republican club of which I was a member, who was sitting right there listening to him, was a Oneness Pentecostal, who according to this moron's theology wasn't a chr*stian at all. Yet he did regard the Bible as inerrant!

The advocates of "the historic chr*stian faith" had better read their Bibles from the front instead of from the back!
