[one Lord one faith one baptism]

why believe Herbert Armstrong and his son?

Christmas is not “the untold story”, read the Catholic Scriptures Luke 2 and you will see the story is not untold at all.

in fact, it has been told for 1,979 years, but i guess those caught up in “armstrongism” don’t realize that.

"why believe Herbert Armstrong and his son?"

I believe the Bible, chapter and verse, and you haven't given me ANY chapter and verse that supports your pagan worship!
It's not Herbert Armstrong and his son that you have to refute.
It's those references they use, and those historical references, that you have a problem with.
And those references are time-tested, and as solid as the Rock who put them in the Bible.
