How subtly Satan usedMAKEUP

to start the Church off the track

"Bu t by this maneuver of Satan, the people of God 's Church started offthe track. . . For watering down of God 's truth on healing, the Sabbath ,many more vital doctrines followed in its wake. "

How Satan began injecting liberalisminto God's Church

By Herbert W. Armstrong

FOR THREE YEARS theliving C hrist has been

worki ng to put H is C hurchback on th e t rack! But howdid the people of th e livingGod get off the t rack?How did th e whole worldfirst ge t off t he track?

Was mother Eve, the veryfirst woman - a direct cre­ation of God - insincerelyevil ? Did she have evi lmotives and intentions?

No. Eve was DE CE IVED!

Undoubted ly she thought shewas doing right. T he forbiddentree , afte r all , "was GOOD forfood," and it was " pleasan t to theeyes ," and, Satan had assuredher, she would really not die .God knew bett er than that ­she was an "immortal soul."

And besides, Satan had said ,it would make her a god intellec­tuall y - it appealed to her intel­lectual VANITY. S he couldn't seeanyt hing wrong with it. So "shetook of the fruit thereof, and d ideat, and gave also unto her hus­band with her; and he did eat. "

T hu s the WHOL E W ORLD wasstarted off the track . An d Satanis st ill at it! " T he Devil, andSatan ... deceiveth the wholeworld " (Revelation 12:9) . Theapostle Pau l f eared " lest by anymeans, as the serpent beg uiledEve by his sub ti lty , so yourminds shou ld be corr upted " (IICorinthians 11:3).

Do you think that same wilySa ta n could not deceive peoplein God's Church today ? Of allthe people on earth, WE are thevery ones he want s most todeceive . He has the rest of theworld deceiv ed alrea d y. Andremember a deceive d per sondoes not know he is deceived ­else he would not BE decei ved!

Yet Sat an did get to our wivestoday! The y certainly had no evilmotives. even as moth er Eve hadnone . Had they not repented andaccepted C hrist, and come intothe C hurc h? Th ere were no evilmot ives or intentions. The y, too,saw " no har m in it :' They,them sel ve s , wo u ld ·· LOOKGOO D" to the world . Makeup onthe face would be "pl easant tothe eyes."

And it was intellec tual to fol­low intellect ua l libe rals in themin istr y (NO LONGER) who rea­soned that thi s little detail andthat litt le point could be int er ­preted to see " no harm in it" ­and after a ll, iJ we don 't see anyharm in it. isn' t it all right to dowhat the world does?

It was all done so SUBTLY!Th at is how Sat an works. Nowlet's under stand what DIDHAP­PEN!

How far does God comp ro­mise wit h SIN? God had thePOWER to wink His eye at SIN

and forgive sin out rig ht, withouthaving to sac rifice H is onlybegotten So n. But God did notcompro mise one millionth of aninch with sin. Rather than thatHe "gave His only begotten So nthat whosoe ver be lieveth in Himshould not PERISH:'

God 's Church, the now immi­nen t Bride of C brist. is not goingto rise to meet the ret urn ingChrist in the air with paintedfaces and plucked and repaintedeyebrows!

How cleverly, without oursuspecting it, did Satan in­fluence leading ministers to de­rail the C hurch in many ways!

I want , now, to take youbrethren through a histor y ofth is seemingly mino r question offemale makeup as it progressedd uring the '50s, '60s and '70s inthe Church. Bret hren , CAN W E

remove prejudice, vanity andself-wi ll from our minds andOPEN OUR EYES TO GOD' STRUTH? Weare not going to faceGod in "THE JUDGMENT" likethe wor ld . WE ARE FACI NG IT

NOW! Judgment has begun atthe House of GOD! You and I arebein g jud ged NO W!

Some of us have weakened .Some of us have been caught offguard. I am hum an like all ofyou , and I was caught off guardand without at the time reali zingit, ALLOWED this liberalism tocreep st ealthil y into God's flock!I now repent of that and the liv­ing C hris t leads me to do whatHe inspires me to do to correct itand get th is holy Body of C hristBACK COMPLETELY ON TilETRACK. For we have not bee nfully back on the track even yet!

Thi s may be somewhat of aminor quest ion , yet it was usedby Sat an to help der ail theC hurc h! It is only one of a num­ber of points that led us offtr ack .

Thi s quest ion was raised in

the Chu rch in the mid '50s. Inthe July , 195 5, Good New s. thefo llo wi ng u nde r my by- linebegan on page I und er the head ­line , "What the Ch urc h Ruledon Ma keup."

"T he quest ion of lipst ick andot her forms of makeup had to besettled . Some in the Churchheld very definitely that 'make­up is wro ng; it's worldly.' Therewas in some cases an att it ude ofprej udice and accusation againstthose who wore it. "

So act ually the qu estion wasfirst raised by wome n who feltface-changing was wr ong, not byministers . The n-« t parag raphconti nued, " But ot hers insisted,., can't see any harm in wearingmakeup.' ..

Many articles followed on thequestion . These articles coveredmany specific points and specif­ic script ures . The re was an effortto get to every detailed point orquest ion even in "the grayareas ."

But we need to learn thatGod 's law is a PRINCIPLE to beapplied . It has to do first of allwit h an ATTITUDE OFMIND.

T he Ch urch RULED AGAINSTTHE USE OF MAKEUP based pri­mari ly on specific " do" and"don't " scriptu res, rather thanthe application of the PRINCIPLE

of God's Law.We did make the mist ake of

applying God 's spiritua l Law asthe world applies man 's laws.The average policem an todayhas to enforce six times as man yspecific laws as he is capable ofremembering. I am reminded ofa comic strip "T here Ought toBe a Law." Every day someo nethought up a reason for making anew specific law to cover somenew minor infract ion. It de­picted the ridicul ous system ofman's laws.

Actually, God 's spiritual Lawis expressed in ju st one simplefour -letter word - LO VE. Weapply that law to given ci rcum­stances.

Je sus, for examp le, "m agni­fied the Law and made it honor­able. " A t M t. ..... mai He, asYHWrJ., exp anded it into 10

points - the first fou r definingthe PRINCIPLE of love towardGod, the last six love towa rdneig hbor. From the re it expandsin principle to cover any andevery quest ion that may arise.

But when and how did thisthi ng of SIN beg in? It all beganwith the super archange l, thecherub Lucifer. He was "perfectin his ways" from the day Godcreated him. Then iniquity (law­lessness) was found in him. Hisheart was "lifted up" in VANITYbecause of his beauty (Ezekiel28:15- 17). The wisdom of hismind was lifted up in VANITY.T his violated l.OVEin th e form ofobed ience and su bmission toGod .

A spirit of compe titio nen tered his mind . He said: "Iwill asce nd into heaven [God 'sthroneJ. I will exalt my thro neabove the stars [angelsJof God."SELF-exa ltation. vanity, jeal­ousy , envy , rebe llion agai nstauthority, competition, desi re to"GET" and ··TAKE" seized hisperverted mind.

Si n, spiritual ly, is self-ce n­teredness, self -exalta tion, desireto be beauti ful , vanity , coveting,desire to GETand TAKE, to exaltthe sel f, jealousy and envy, com­peti tion, oft-res ulting violenceand war, resent ment and rebel -

lion against aut hori ty.These are the PRINCIPLES of

spiri tua l SIN. There is also thematt er of physical sin - trans­gress ion of physical laws. Oftenphysical sickness and disea seresult from this transgression.Wh ile Jesus paid the death pen­alty for our spirit ual sins by Hisshed blood, He also paid the pen­alty of physical transgress ion oflaws that opera te in our bodie sand mind s " by His st ripes."Man y do not seem to underst andthat healin g is " forgiveness ofsin" - thi s ph ysical sin ­because Jesus paid that penalt yin our stead " by His st ripes: '

But the C hurch in the 1950s.st ill GROWING in knowledge aswell as in numbers, ruled onmakeup based on specific scrip­tu ral " do's and don 't s" - as wethen interp reted them . Actually

we came to the same right rul­ing. A very few women argued abit , but I remember specificallyof none who rebelled and left theChurch. As near as I co uldobserve our women were happyto leave the ir faces as the Mas terDesigner made them .

The C hurc h was bei ngblessed and growing - up toabout 1968. For 35 years Godhad caused it to grow at the phe­nome nal and unmatc hed rate of30 perce nt average increase peryea r. Then, beginn ing 1968 ,C hrist the living Head of theC hurc h, began to send me tocapitals of nations all over theworld . I was unable to give day ­to-day management at head­quarters. Si n entered Pasadenaleadership. The Ch urch stop pedits pheno menal gro wth . I had todeal with sins near the top in1971 and 1972. In the spring of1974 a ministerial rebellion, ledto a considerable extent by twotop- ranki ng ministers at Pasa ­dena, resulted in some 30 ormore mi nisters leavi ng tbeCh urch .

In early fall of 1974, my sonca ught me on the run as I wasleaving for Tokyo and Manil a,where I held a big cam paign. Itwas a time when certain "schol­ars" amo ng our leaders wereengaged in "doctrinal research."I had not rea lized until later thatmos t of them were actua llyresear ch ing to try to proveChu rch teac hings were in erro r,rather than to discover truth. Iadmit now and repent of the factth at , no t re a lizi ng the rea lmotive, I approved this doct rinalresearch team .

My son said thi s team hadfound we had the wrong mean­ing on four suc h de tailed specificscr iptures, and the use of make­upwasOK .

Th ose who know me bestknow I have a single track mind .Th at is, I can concentrate deepl yon one subject at a time , butwhen my mind is on one subject,I often do not really " get" some­th ing said to me.

Go it a lone

Acco rd ing to the Erdman tale.the Ge rman object ive was to achievea sta te of armed neut rality, with th est ress on the adjective armed. Th efutu re Germ an chancellor, accord ­ing to the book, "o nly hint ed at allthis, sometimes in private meet ings,somet imes very ob liquely in televi ­sion inte rviews in the 1984 cam­paign ...

" And even in his first two years inoffice, he had to be carefu l. For he

to indepe ndence from the Uni tedStates lay in Ge rmany 's milita rystrength, and that th e corollary to adeclaration of independence fromthe United States was a declarationof willingness to coexist with th eSoviet Union."

sti ll needed th e mil itary um brella ofthe United Stat es stan di ng protec ­tively over his Ge rmany . He st illneed ed th e 300 ,000 Amer icantroops sta t ioned in Ger many tostand between his people and theSoviet tanks.

" He st ill needed th e threa t, eventhough the whole world knew it wasas empty as any threat would ever be- namely, the "co mm itme nt" ­that Am erica wou ld fight a nucle arwar, even if it involved the Ame ri­can homeland, to protect its Ger­man allies and fr iends .

" But in J une of 1987, he knewthat soon - very, very soon - hewou ld no longer need Ihe Ameri­cans. So he sent Grafvon Amsburgto Moscow to test the water there,just as Hitler had sent von Rib ben­trop."

Th e resul t of the Moscow trip,acco rdi ng to Mr. Erdman's see ­nario : a new nonaggression pact.carvi ng ou t spheres of influence forGermany and the Soviet Union, notonly in Europe, but righ t down intoth e Middle East. Th e Soviets agreeto pull their troops out of East Ger­many within 60 days, allowing forGerman reunification . Th e Am eri­cans are given an ultimatum to alsopull their troops out of WesternEurope in the same 6O-day period .

Things may not happen exactlythis way, of cou rse.Th en again, evena greater geopoli tical shift th an Mr .Erdman postulates might occur ,with not ju st East Germany, butmuch of Eastern Europe coming outfrom beh ind th e Iron C urtain ­producing at last the final br ief res­urrecti on of th e Rom an Empire.

Feast I. G_lttnaa.I have just returned from keeping the

Feast of Tabernacles along with thebretbren from Central America at LakeAtitlan, Guatemala. I want to tell youthat I have never beenamong a groupofpeoplewhere I felt such love. Mr. [He r­ber t] Armstro ng's opening nightinstructionsconcerning the need for lovebetween members were certainly putinto practice at LakeAtitlan.

Before the Feast I performed the nor ­mal ritualsof goingaroundto all threeofour girls' teachers. explaining to themabout our girls missing school and theFeast. Our fourth grader's teacher wasvery understanding. but said: " I am veryconcerned about Brandi missing somuch school right now. We are just get­ting ready to start a block of study inmath that is very difficult for the chil­dren and Brandi willcompletelymissallteacher instruction . "

The first day back. from Feast. all thechildren took their post-test to see whopassed the study block. The teachergraded Brandi's paper and blurted out." Brandi. how did you do so well?" Allthe class looked at Brandi. who reflect­fullypointed to her head andsimplysaid." Kidneys.kidneys."

All the classroom started laughingand her teacher replied. " Well I guessyou're right. Brandi!" Lana King

Crisis in the mid-'80s

What is to become of WesternEurope's slide into th e dangerouspolit ical vacuum of left ist-d omi­nated neu tr alism - a vacuum thatcould only be filled by Soviet polit i­cal dominance, the so-ca lled effectof "Finlandization"?

One poss ible scenar io is por­trayed in the book The LAst Days ojAmerica, th e latest best-se lling nov­el by Pau l Erdman (whose earl ierbook. The Crash oJ 79 foretold th efall of the Shah of Iran).

Mr . Erdma n creates a spellbind­ing scenar io centered in the mid­19805, a tim e af ter the next WestGerman electio ns (198 4) . In hisreal -life novel, Mr. Erdman castsFranz Josef S tra uss as th e nextchancellor, with a myth ical Gr afvon Amsburg (von Hapsburg?) ashis foreign mini ster. Th e story lineof the bookrevolves around a plot by

they can show love to each ot her .Tr y it, it reall y doesn ' t hurt. Makingcookies or sewing up a pair of pants(two act ivities at which many menare inately inept ) can rea lty brin gjoy to a brother.

Have you guys ever given yoursisters flowers? After she revivesfrom the shock, you'll find you andyour sister much closer friends.

There are countless opportunitiesto shQ.w love among members of ourspiritual famil y - ~~'s C hurch.

Siagles

S ingle people living away fromtheir families ofte n feel left out ofthe day-to-day giving and sharingthat families enjoy. But, manyopportunities exist for singles toshare with the brethren in God 'sC hurch.

Few if any girls don't like gett ingcards in the mail. It " makes theirday" if som eone takes a litt le effortto brighten their day. Th ink of cre­ative ways to say, "I care ."

Thank-you notes have many uses .If a guy has gone to ext ra effor ts togive you a special da te, why not sendhim a thank -you uote. He's liable toask you out again if you do .

Shut-ins

All of us can help elderly peopleor those not able to get out much.Th e best way is to pay them a visitand keep our cars open and ourmouths shut. Some elderly andhandicapped people spend much oftheir time alone and what th ey needmost is to have someon e to listen tothem. You might learn somethingtoo, from someone who has sto redup man y more years of wisdom thanyou.

Ano th er group of people deservesa lot more ofou r thanks than we givethem. Th ey are the men who arethere at any hour to listen to ourproblems, share our joys and woes,to anoint us when we are sick and togive us serm ons each week , showingus th c way to live.

A minister in on the Refr eshingProgram noted th at his congrega­tion seldom com plimented him onhis sermons. S how your ministerand his wife th at you care. Compli­ment him on a sermon or drop him anot e during the week.

The list of ways to help others isendless.

Remem ber what Paul said to theGala t ians, " T herefore as we haveopportunity, let us do good to allpeople , especiall y those who belongto th e famil y of believers (Galatians6:10) .

Thank your "ifeHave you husbands ever thanked

your wives for doing the laundry,having your clothes neatly pressedwhen you go off to work or compl i­mented her on how nice the houselooks and how importan t that is toyou?

If you haven 't, take note of anitem from an enlightened husbandthat was published in the Oct oberReade's Digest .

" My work ing wife had no morevacation left, but I st ill had sometime off. It was boring to be homealone, so one day I decided to sur­prise my wife by doing the dishes,dusting and straightening up thehouse. I was sure I would get all sortsof praise from her when she camehome , but she didn ' t say a word .Finall y, I could stand it no longer.' You didn 't even notice how nicely Ist raightened up tod ay,' I co m­plained .

" Her reply opened my eyes.'Y eah ,' she said. 'It's a th ankl ess job.isn' t it. ' ..

Have you wives ever thanked yourhusband s for staving away at work togive you and the children the bestthey can possibly afford ? House­work is not the only thankless job .Often the greatest joy a map finds inhis work is knowing tha t it gives himth e opportunity to provide for hisfamily.

Children can be ta ught to showlove for the ir parents too. Can any ofyou parents think of anything moreprecious than when you r son ordaughter thr ows his arms aro undyou and says, " I love you?"

Parents should teach the ir chil­dr en how to express love and appre­cia tion. Even a z-year-o ld child cansay, " You' re a good cook. Mom ."Or "Thanks. Dad , for my allow­ance."

Though the thought might seemdistastefu l to broth ers and sister s,

naive, seems genuine, based largelyon a gr owin g fear of Euro pe 'sfuture. It has 'suddenly dawned onmany Europeans, waking to rea lityafter being dru gged on prosper ity.tha t a nuclear exchange betw een theUnited States and the Soviet Unionj ust might not convenie ntly passEurope overhead, but th at Europeitself could become a nuclear battle­field, perh aps even th e ma in battl e­field .

Regardl ess of th e act ual genesi sof the widespread movement , theSoviets, with th eir organs of propa­gand a and dis information, are mak­ing the most of it. Th e Kremlin iscare fully cultivating fear by launch­ing "peace offensives" aimed at pre­venting the .U .S.-N ATO counter­force from being deployed .

Th is "peace offensive" reach edan almost embarrassing plateau (toall but comm itted neutr alists) Oct.31 when Soviet President Leonid I.Brezhnev promised Wes t Germansthat their country would be sparedfrom nuclear attack if the y refuse tode ploy U.S . medium-range missileson their soil.

" I declare with full respons ibil i­ty: ' said Mr . Brezhnev, " that th eSovi et Union und er no circum ­sta nces. will use nucl ear weaponsagai nst states that renounce the pro-

A friend of mine recounted anexperience that happened to himafter the Feast . Returning homeafter a less-than-exciting cr oss­count ry fligh t, he dragged into hisbedroom to find it gaily decoratedwith crepe paper , balloon s and a signthat said , "Welcome home Tom.'

Two friend s had gone out of theirway to show appreciation . Th is sim­ple act mad e his day. (His bed wasalsoshortsheeted, but th at 's anotherstory .)

How many times has a friend orfamil y member performed a littl eact of kindness that made you feelgood inside ? Maybe he (or she)didn't even realize how good hemade you feel.

The apostle Pau l tells us, " 00 notforget to do good and shar e withot he rs " ( H ebrews 13:16, NewInternational Vers ion ). Plenty ofopport unities are availabl e for us toserve oth er s in God 's Church, butoften we overlook them.

In th is column I'd like to showyou exam ples of ways to serveothers. They are not pro found.Th ey've been done thousands oftimes before. Most won 't cost youanything.

The best place to star t doing goodto others is right in your own home .(For those with out physi cal fami­lies, I'll get to you later .)

A fellow worker said he appre­ciates it when his wife makes himlunch and wr ites " Have a happyda y" on his napkin . He sends hiswife a yellow rose (she 's Texan)when she's ill.

Becareful. If you only give yourwife present s when she's sick, youmight find her sick a lot.

One woman enjoys having herhusband hold her hand at the end ofa rough day . Knowing that he isthere for her and her alone is quitecomfo rt ing . The "si mp le touch: 'she says.

ture under it. WHAT I NEVE R

KNEW UNTIL NOW was that,after my signature. Wayne Co le,then direc tor of Pastoral Ad­ministration. added fa few pagesgivin g the new liberal watered­down reasoning, c hanging thetruth of God.

Sa tan masterminded this insuc h manner that it allAP PEARED under my signature.as if I full y approved all that fol­lowed my signature - when infact I never saw it until the daybefore yesterday. It was subtlyhandled and KEPTFROM ME.

I did not, and never wouldhave approved of what Mr. Co lewithout my knowledge pub­lished under my signature.

Even now. at this late date. Ilearn that this "about-face"aJtering ofadecisionTHE LIVINGCHRIST put into His Churchcaused gre at consternationamongloyalministersandmem-

bers in Britain . But by thismaneuver of Satan, the people ofGod 's Church star ted off thetrack.

I sa y "started off." Forwatering down of God 's truth onhealing, the Sabbath, manymore vital doctrines followed initsw akc.

But, as Satan maneuvered tostart ALL HUMANITY off thetrack in the garden of Eden , sointhese latter days, he maneuveredto use the women of God 'sChurch to start the END-TIMEChurch off the track. And thewhole Church was deceived!

At the time my son came tome with the report that theAdam Clarke commentary wasin error on Isaiah 3:16, my mindwas primarily on other things,and I made a hasty decisionwithout fully weighing the mat­ter . I have come to realize this. IHAVE DEEPLY REPENTED OF IT . Inow correct it before the entireChurch .

Brethren, let' s get one thingstrai ght at thi s point. JesusChrist chose and has been usinga HUMANinstrument to lead you.Will you blame Je sus Christ forth at ? HE is inf allible. HE makesno mistakes. But WHO amongyou could He choose as Hisinstr ument to lead you who isalready superna turally divineand unable to make mistakes?He took me with my single- trackmind , and used me in STARTINGthis Philadelphia era of God'sC hurch. He hasusedme, in spiteof a few mistakes, in BRINGINGALL YOU INTO HIS BODY, THEC HU RCH. H e revealed HI STRUTH to me and thr ough me toyou!And now H e is using me asHis instrument in CORRECTINGa mistake, and LEADING YOUBACK ON THE TRACK! T hou­sands of you have written me youare behind me 100 percent. AREYOU?

Jesus Ch rist through me hasbeen GETTING US ALL BACK ONH IE TRACK, ready for His returnto earth as the KI NG OF KINGS,and Lord of Lord s. Th e C hurch,as HI S BRIDE to be spiri tuallyMARRIED to H im , is to rise tomeet Him in the air as Hed esce nds . W om en of t he

C hu rch, do you think Je su sChrist will say to me, "SEND A

PROCLAMATION TO ALL WOMEN

IN TH~ CHURCH TO PREPA REFOR My CO MING . TELL THEM TO

GO TO THEI R DRESSING TA BLES,

PLUCK OUT THEIR EYEBROWS,PAINT IN NEW ONESHIGHER ONTHEIR FOREUEADS, AND USECOSMETICS TO MAKE UP THEIRFACES TO MEET ME IN THEAIR"'!

No, dear people, I don't t hinkH e will have me make such aproclamati on. But rather : W ashthedirtoffyour faces!CLEAN UPyour faces!"

Now JESUSCHRIST, throughHis chosen apostle, is going toRULE on this question once andfor all!

It was through me He ruledon smoking. At the tim e onlyMEN smoked . N o spec i f icdetailed scriplure says : Thoushalt not smoke. But I know, int he spring of 1927, when I wasconverted, that GOD'S LAW is tobe applied to .given cir cum­stances according to its basic

PRINCIPLE. I as ked my self,"WHY do I smoke?" To pleaseGod ? No! Becauseother men inSatan's world do! Yes . To pleas ethe five senses? Yes, the sense ofSMELL! Doesit express LOVE TOGOO? No! Love to neighbor?No! To" some it was offensive.For my health? No . I knew itwas harmful to whatever extent.It was a worldly habit. I quit.Througb me Christ caused HisC hurch to turn from smoking .

Now apply Goo's LAW tomakeup. WHY do women usemakeup? To please and glorifyGoo ? No . God is MasterDESIGNER as well as Creator.The world seems to think Goddid not design women's facesproperly, and they try to do abetter job of making up the irfaces than Goo did . Doesmake­up PLEASE Goo? HIS Spirit saysto me, IT ISDispleasing to Him!(And, like the apostle Paul , Ithink I have the " m ind ofChrist.") To EXALT God? No ,rather to exalt SELF, whichdebases God .

IT IS PURE AND SIMPLE VANI­TY, and God knows it is, even ifsome women are self-deceivedand protest it isn't. It is done toglorify the SELF, not to glorifyG oo! It cer taintly does not hum­ble the self. One woman saysit isan ornament of dress, and shedoesn 't feel dres sed up with ou tit. G OD says, " whose adorn­ing . . . let it be . .. the orna­ment of a meek and quiet spirit"(I Peter 3:3-4). Let it be IIUMILI­TY, exalting Goo.

Do women do it because otherwomen i n the world do ?Emphatically, YES, even as Ionce smoked becauseother mendid . It is done to BE LIKE TilEWORLD. But of the world ­even its religi on, specifically theC hristian religion - God says,"COME OUT OF HER, my people,that ye be not partakers of hersins, and that ye receive not ofHER PLAGUES" ( now soon tocome) ( Revelation 18:4) . Onewoman says,"But since it iscon­sidered an essential part of goodgrooming by people in theworld. it doe s help me feel betterdressed."

An other woman thinks make-

The WORLDWIDE NEWS

up sets " AN EXAMPLE TO THEWORLDIN THEIR APPEARANCE."Jesus said. "Ye are th e ligh t ofthe world . . . Let your light soshine befor e me n, that they maySEE your GOODWORKS," not thepai nt onyo urf ace!

A woman says. " I don't wearmakeup to chan ge my appea r­ance," but another woman whowrite s the same thing wears somuch that when I mentionedhaving received aletter from awoman saying that. a leadingheadquarter s minister replied," If I were a betting man I'd bet Icould tell you who wrot e the let­ter ." "Who do you think?" Iasked. He named her . How didhe know'! Because she wears somuch makeup ,it stands out andseveral noticed and mentionedit!

Some women will say it isadornment, and they mentionhow God adorned Israel. LET'SLOOK AT THAT SCRIPTURE AMINUTE!

It 's the 16th chapter of Eze­kiel . It begins , "Son of man,

cause Jerusalem to know herabominations.' The ABOMINA­TIONSof Judah are th e subjec t.Then God speaks symbolicallyof Israel and Judah as a newbornfemale child who grew up . Shegrew up polluted by the world ,and at the time of love, Godadorned her . How? God usedapparel as a symbol of righteous­ness.

Here He used the symbol ofcovering her with the FINESTapparel and adornment - HISLAW - WHICH IS flNEST INSPIRITUAL CHARACTER. THEAPPAREL AND JEWELRY MEN­TIONEDARENOTMENTIONEDTOAPPROVE WORLDLY ADORN­MENT, BUTINDICATETHE R NESTQUALITY IN CHARACTER, asmeasured by God's spiritualLAW. God mentioned only thefinest in material adornment totypify the finest in spiritualadornment. BUT HE AVOIDEDINCLUDING FACE-PAINTING!

The BEAUTV God lavished onI srael was SPIRITUAL beauty ­of HIs WAYOFLIFE- the way of

His L AW. This spiritual beautywent forth over the world (verse14) . Then what? "B UT TII0UDIOST TRUST IN THI NE OWNBEAUTYAND PLAYED THE HAR­LOT" (verse 15 and on) .

WilYdid I smoke? I had to behonest about it and I qu it , andtaught the C hurch to quit. WHVDC WQ MEN USE MAK EUP ?SIIAL L THEY BE HONEST ABOUTIT - OR SELF-DECEI VED INTOARG UING THEIR WAYTOB ELIKETHE WORLD?

THER E ARETWO reasons, andvariations of those two reasons,and G OD, who knows humanhearts better than we know ourown, KNOWS rur s. Th ey are:VANITY, and desire to be like theworld God ca lls usout of. or so toappear to the world .

One woman candidly said shewould rather have a good look­ing face than a knowledgeable

and understanding mind. Shewould rather have facial makeupthan God's righteousness. T hatwas many years ago. She madeher c hoice . She no lo ngerbelieves there is a C reator God .No w she is coming into old age,and all the facial makeup can'thelp her look beautiful. Sh e hasNO hope for the future!

On e of th e hard est tests I hadto win to be converted , in thespring of 1927, was the thought,If I acce pt God's TRUTH, whatwill all my form er businessacquaintances i n th e worl dthink? I knew I had to GIVE UPcaring about what they think,and be concerned about whatGoo thinks! I had to be weanedfrom former ways, th oughts,beliefs and people of th e wor ld.T he woman who dreads givingup makeup must give up formerways.

Now finally , let' s again LOOKat these specific scriptures thatsome use to JUSTIFY vanity andworldliness - though the y maydeny any vanity or worldliness.

Isaiah 3: /6: In 1955 I used anerror in the Adam C lar ke com ­mentary, which implied paint ­ing the eyes. It waswhen my soncame to me with evidence thatthe commentary was in errorabout eye paint that I wrote theshort note th at appeared over mysignature in the October, 1974,Bulletin. which was used toch ange th e entire C hurch teach­ing on mak eup. I did not thenexamine the other three pas­sages used following my signa­ture, nor did I KNOW even thatthose things were printed, orthat orders went out to all minis­ters compelling them to readevery word before their congre­gations ASIF it had my approval .Actually it DID NOT have myapproval ,or even my knowledge.It was an allemptto put this lib­eral approach over on theC hurch BEHIND MY BACK andwith out my knowledge.

But look now at the entirecontext in wh ich Isaiah 3:16appears .

C hapter 3 is talking aboutthese LAST DAYSof thi s age. TheDAY OF TIl E LORD is approach­ing (verse 12 of chapter 2).Then, beginning verse 12 ofchapter 3, " As for my people ,children shall be their oppres­sors, and women shall rule overthem" - certainly true TODAY.

Ve rse 16 , " Because thedaughters of Z ion [meaning ourpeople Isr ael or the C hurchtoday] are haughty, and walkwith stretched for th neck s, andwanton eye s [glancing wantonlywith their eyes- Revised Stan­dard Versi on) . . . ,. in otherwords flirting and enticing men- which things do ACCOMPANYface paint.

This general theme conti nuesinto chapter 4, where we read inverse 4, "When the Lord shallhave washed away th e filth of th edaughters of Z ion . . . " So evenif verse 16 of chapter 3 does notspeak specifically of makeup, itDOES spea k of the things asso­ciated with it and that accom­pany it . It does show gr aph icall ythe attitude and spirit Satan willhave injected into our women ofTODAY . Primaril y , I N THEWORLD of Israel as it is today.

but also as it has infiltra ted intotoo many of our dear women inGod's Chu rch!

God commands, "COME OUTFROM AMONG THEM, AND BE YESEPARATE, saith the Lord" ( IICorinthia ns 6:17) For "ye arethe temple of the living God "(verse 16).

Ezekiel 23:40: I quote fromwhat Mr . Co le (now disfellow­shi pped fro m t he Chu rch )appended aft er my signature toAPPEAR to give it my approval:

.. 'A nd also you sent for mento come from abroad; a messen­ger wassent to them, and indeedthe y cam e. For them you bath edyourself, made up yo ur eyes.and adorned yourself with jew ­el ry .

Th eir sche mes fo rattracting lovers are bein gdescribed."

Now that certainl y DOES NOTset a GOOD EXAMPLE for thewomen of God's C hurc h today!Ye t thi s effort to introduce LIB­ERALISM and COMPROMISEWITHSATAN in G od's Church, wenton to ARGUE: " No tice the thin gsment ioned .

Now into its third decade of con­tinuous broadcasting, Le MonJe AVenir had modest beginnings. Thenan unordained faculty member, Mr .Apartian was working in his officeon the Ambassador College campu shere in 1960 when Pastor GeneralHerbert W. Armstrong dropped bywith a "bombshell!' " Make sixauditi on tapes for Radio Luxem­bourg in Europe:' he told Mr .Apar­tian .

" I nearl y panicked, " Mr. Apar­t ian recalled. " I had no training inbroad cast ing." Radio Luxembourgwas - and still is - one of the mostpowerful stat ions on earth. Anyproduc t the y would accept must beprofessional, he thought.

He had just completed transla­tions of Why Were You Born andbooklets on faith and healing , sothose became the original scripts .No French equival ent exists of Mr .Armstrong 's opening, " Well, greet ­ings, friends!", but as the evangelistpondered and prayed, he suddenlythought of an old French expres ­sion, A bon es uendeur Salutl Itbecam e the opening phrase of thenewly commissioned program.

The aud it ion tape s were ac­cept ed, and I.e Monde AVeni,began thundering out on the mil­lion-wan Radio luxembourg. l at­er, the program aired on Ly- mil­lion-wan Radio Europe No. I andstations in Fren ch-speaking Canadaand the Car ibbean .
