| Christians make Him out to be; that the meek | | | | misrepresent God as a sadist rather than a loving |

| you're not an immortal soul, eternal life is a gift | | | | who mercifully destroys them completely in the |

| Armstrong by showing his timing was off?No. The | | | | Catholic-Babylonian doctrines of demons? Satan |
| Apostle Paul also thought Christ would return in his | | | | said, "You shall surely not die." In other words, |

| teaching the plain truth of the Bible (that | | | | death - those are the only two choices. Not life |
| contradicts their present idolatrous traditions). | | | | and life. And who would consider it a gift if they |
| Otherwise they'll die in their sins and traditional | | | | had eternal life in torment? You're not even being |

| speak truth?Mr. Armstrong spoke the plain truth | | | | the gift of God is eternal life" (Romans 6:23). Life |
