Herbert Armstrong was never involved with United Church of God. He was the "leader" of Worldwide Church of God. I never belonged to that organization. But I do know from some study that he never asked people to "blindly" accept what he said. Instead he urged people to verify what he said against scripture.
I think that's fair.
Oops!.....That's what many cults and false religions say as well, so does the New Age Spirituality......that is no indication you should continue with them....but it gives people a ‘false’ sense of security to continue, unfortunately.
Armstrong is nothing people should get involved with....it has enough “truth” to entice and then mingles it's own ideology and beliefs with it....as do cults and false religions.
