Spiritual Organism vs. Corporate Churchianity

Mr. Herbert W Armstrong didn’t start any church; he was used to raise up a work that spread the Gospel around the world. The Radio Church of God was the Church when people listened by radio. That was its scope, reach, and location at that time. It grew and became WORLDWIDE. That is the location of God’s Church then and now; the Church of God is the Worldwide Church of God!

God’s Church is located all around the world, and it is a spiritual organism, not some state corporation, as Mr. Armstrong always taught. What divides the people and keeps them from becoming the Spiritual Organism are the corporation and their teachings. Jesus Christ called and used His Apostle to reach those whom God has called to that spiritual organism. He said to go to the lost tribes of Israel, physical Israelites, to reach the SPIRITUAL ISRAELITES AMONG THEM.

The marriage contract for physical Israel ended when the God of the Old Testament died on the cross, thus releasing God and Physical Israel from that marriage contract. Jesus Christ came to offer a New marriage contract to Israel again, but Spiritual Israel, those given The Holy Spirit, who can obey God’s Laws.

The 144,000 are those of God’s Church who were already God’s Church at that time of sealing. The Innumerable Multitude is the last group of God’s Church before Jesus Christ’s return, the remnant, the Last Era of the Church. But God’s Church, also known as the 7 churches, is ONE CHURCH, not separate churches working at the same time, each one trying to build on the same foundation.

Is Christ divided? Why would His body be divided? Christ came to divide this world from His sheep, His Church, from the world, the goats. He is not divided, for a house divided will not stand. Administrations do not cover each other; no foundation is laid upon another man’s foundation. God called Herbert W Armstrong and placed him as an Apostle through whom Jesus Christ gave us His Truth.

What most people are doing, which I see, is looking for another whom God can give us His Truth and Law through, trying to build a foundation upon a foundation contrary to God’s Word. Just like Moses, there has been no other whom God sent. And it is to the Apostle in God’s Church today whom God ordained and commissioned the Matt 24:14 commission. That is Herbert W Armstrong. The ministry was ordained and commissioned to uphold and continue to preach the doctrines they received through Christ’s Apostle.

When we understand what each office and ordination is placed and the job they have, if it’s divided into one group here and another here, is Christ divided? According to 1 John 4:6, if they reject the Apostle whom Christ chose, they are not of God; the spirit of Truth is not in them, EVEN THOUGH THEY HAVE SOME TRUTH! Having the truth does NOT mean we are converted!

Having been baptized doesn’t mean we are converted either; many have been dunked and have not received the Holy Spirit. If we are each faced with Christ and the doctrines we were taught or the teachings of men who are divided, which will we choose? And if we choose men, our growth stops in the spiritual organism, and we switch tracks from the spiritual track to the physical track, and our help stops from God to men because we switched jurisdiction.

Colossians 2 asks the question: Why? Why should we switch? Man’s traditions (well put it in modern terms, corporate regulations and policies from boards of men) versus God’s spiritual Truth that was given to us through The Apostle Mr. Herbert W Armstrong by Jesus Christ. What is worse is trying to juggle both so one’s paycheck stays intact.

When we try to juggle both, we are lukewarm in God’s eyes, loyal one day, and disloyal the next. God’s spiritual organism is being made lukewarm so our enemy may reach out and destroy us, and it would be our fault, trying to serve two masters. God does promise the spiritual organism who passes the test and who remains faithful to the spiritual Head of the spiritual organism protection in a physical place of protection!

That is sure. And yes, some will die and be protected that way, but the place the Church flies unto for protection is not a grave. Because God’s spiritual Church is not going to find the grave, it will continue and be protected. And if God’s Church is wiped out and killed, then Christ is a liar, and He’s not a liar.

Philadelphia, the spiritual organism NOW, is the 6th era of God’s Church. The 144,000 are symbolic of that 6th Era. 144,000 is divisible by 6. It is the era and Church that will be hidden and protected while the 7th era and Church form and are brought into the spiritual organism located at that time in the place of protection AT THE END of the Great Tribulation.

They will not look to corporate churches here and there called by different names. These will not be doing what many are doing today! Those lukewarm NOW who do not repent from having two masters will go into the Great Tribulation and have to repent and be martyred to finally make the decision on who is their master: Jesus Christ or corporate churches.

Because HUMAN-ORGANIZED CHURCHIANITY IS THE IMAGE OF THE BEAST. Corporate Churches, all corporations, are organized on man’s design; they are owned by the Catholic Church and The False Prophet, or ultimately will be. The question of who is Lord is still being asked!

And those who go INTO the Great Tribulation will wake up then and finally make the choice. THAT ACT will convert the last ERA that comes out of the world at that time! Their death will wake up an Innumerable Multitude! And after repentance, they will go to those in the place of protection, as they will be the ministry and Church whom God is feeding through.

It is the only place on earth that people are being nourished! The Worldwide Church of God, which is THE SPIRITUAL ORGANISM, SPIRITUAL ISRAELITES, NOW, is given a sure promise by God to be protected later. But we have to give our lives now to GOD and His Work (John 6:29, Luke 10:16, 1 John 4:6 – otherwise it’s a famine of the HEARING Amos 8:11), giving our life now.

But If our goal is to save our physical life now, we shall lose our eternal life. Those martyred in the coming Great Tribulation repent before they lose our completely! But they have to give their head in torture because they are straddling between the spiritual track and a physical track, juggling two masters, traveling back and forth to and from the world.

And in the world’s jurisdiction Satan rules and wants to kill us all. Are we baptized in the spiritual organism? Or are we baptized into a physical organization? If one says BOTH or looks at it through that lens, they are compromised. God will not have it.

We have to choose! One or the other. We must choose now. Or we will have to choose later.
