Some teachings of Herbert W Armstrong

[tonychanyt]

Armstrong founded the Worldwide Church of God (WCG) in the 1930s as the Radio Church of God,

Wiki:

In this book, Armstrong makes the claim that the peoples of the United States, the British Commonwealth nations, and the nations of Northwestern Europe are descendants of the Ten Lost Tribes of Israel.[33] This belief, called British Israelism, formed the central basis of the theology of the Worldwide Church of God.[34]

There is no biblical basis for that.

Resting on the Sabbath day is thus commanded for all mankind and should be kept holy from Friday sunset to sunset on Saturday.[53] The Worldwide Church of God conducted its worship Services during that period, accordingly, on Saturdays. Armstrong further explained that Christ is "Lord of the Sabbath" (Mt. 12:8) for it is He who 'made' it for mankind, thus it is a "blessing... to be ENJOYED, to spiritually REFRESH, in blessed fellowship and communion with CHRIST!"[54] He believed that the observance of Sunday as the "Lord's Day" was a papal and/or satanic corruption introduced without authority from God or the Bible.[55]

See my take on the weekly Sabbaths.

Here's God's instruction to YOU, today, if you are ill. If we are to live by every Word of God, we should obey this Scripture. God does not say call your family physician...He does not say, call the doctors and let them give medicines and drugs, and God will cause the medicines and drugs and dope to cure you.... Instead God says call GOD'S MINISTERS. And let them PRAY, anointing with oil (the type and symbol of the Holy Spirit). Then GOD PROMISES He will HEAL YOU![103]

Supernatural healing cannot be systematized. Sometimes, God heals by supernatural means to demonstrate a sign. We can also seek physicians.

Armstrong died in 1986. Today, WCG is known as Grace Communion International (GCI) and has undergone a significant shift in its teachings, aligning more closely with mainstream evangelical Christianity. Even his followers rejected some of his key teachings.
