Which Shall We Obey?....
The C I V I L GOVERNMENT OR G O D ' S ?
Certain dissident voices have been raised, since
January 3, deceiving God's people about obeying
the government of MAN!
by Herbert W. Armstrong
JULY 11. 1979
DO WE UNDERSTAND that the GOVERNMENT OF GOD once ruled the entire
earth?
Do we understand that Satan's major thrust is to turn us against the
GOVERNMENT OF GOD? That God's government is based on THE LAW OF GOD, and
the LAW OF GOD is predominant in the Bible from Genesis to Revelation?
Do we REALLY understand that THE GOVERNMENT OF GOD is at this moment
being administered on the earth in ONE PLACE ONLY--in the WORLDWIDE CHURCH
OF GOD? Do we realize that GOD HIMSELF raised up this era of His Church,
even though He used His chosen apostle, and that it is NOT, in any way, the
government of MAN?
Do we realize that the one prime point Satan uses to keep YOU out of
God's Kingdom is to attack THE LAW OF GOD, which is the foundation of the
GOVERNMENT OF GOD?
Do you relize that the civil governments of man, masterminded by
Satan, have ALWAYS fought against the law or government of GOD?
There com2s a time when you have to decide WHERE ARE YOUR LOYALTIES?
One such time was January 3 and immediately following. Some very few minis
ters shouted out words to the effect that "WE MUST OBEY THE GOVERNMENT OF
MAN, N O T THE CHURCH OF GOD!"
In the history of mankind on earth we have come down to the FINAL
QCESTION: WHO IS LORD?--CAESAR, OR C H R I S T ?
YOU HAVE TO DECIDE--even as the Pharisees, the Sadducees and the
Scrib�had to decide between Barabbas and CHRIST! There is today j�st ONE
CHURCH ONLY, where the GOVERNMENT OF GOD is being administered--and �hat
is in the WORLDWIDE CHURCH OF GOD!
It's time we GET THIS STRAIGHT! Satan has been using some to teach
you FALSELY!
What was Jesus' teaching? What was His EXAMPLE? Some have 0ecr p,'ttin ;
a TWIST on that and causing division in God's Church.
