The Way of Giving

Continuity, Names, and the Preservation of the Church’s Record

Questions surrounding continuity often arise when names change, domains expire, or organizations reorganize. This has been true both in the history of the Church and in the preservation of its historical records. The purpose of this article is not to accuse, but to clarify. Continuity is not determined by legal titles or surface appearances, but by faithfulness to doctrine, fruits produced, and adherence to what was originally delivered.

The Archives and Their Continuity

The domain wwcg-archives.com originally directed visitors to the site now known as wwcga.com. When a claim is made to represent original material while redirecting to a newly created website, confusion can understandably arise. For clarity, the original archive has never ceased to exist. The materials remain available, unchanged and exactly where they were uploaded to.

The archive was created to preserve the historical record of the Worldwide Church of God. While domain names and hosting arrangements have changed over time, the substance has not. The documents, recordings, and original materials remain intact, unaltered, and preserved in the same location where they were first placed.

Legal Names Versus Faithful Continuation

To understand why names change, one must place themselves in the historical moment when those decisions were made. In 1995, the legal use of the name Worldwide Church of God could not simply continue unchanged for those who sought to remain faithful to the doctrines originally taught. Once the corporate entity controlling the name abandoned Sabbath observance, the Holy Days, and God’s revealed plan, continuing under that legal name would have meant submitting to doctrinal corruption.

Scripture warns against departing from the truth once delivered and against accepting altered doctrine simply because it carries a familiar label (Galatians 1:6–9; Jude 3–4). When obedience to God conflicts with submission to men, Scripture is clear about the proper course (Acts 5:29). The decision to separate from the legal name was not one of preference, but of necessity.

This same principle applies to the archives today.

Why WWCGA Exists

WWCGA, which stands for Worldwide Church of God Archives, was originally created for a practical reason: to provide a shorter, easier-to-remember URL than wwcg-archives.com. For that reason, the domain was purchased and, for a time, used as a redirect. Its purpose was functional, not deceptive.

WCGA began being used prior to the suspension and transfer of wwcg-archives.com, and it continues to be used today for the same underlying reason the Church itself once had to adapt legally. The goal has always been continuity of substance, not attachment to a particular legal label. Scripture consistently emphasizes holding fast to what was delivered, not merely preserving outward identifiers (2 Timothy 1:13–14).

Names Do Not Define the Body

This situation mirrors what has occurred repeatedly within corporate church structures. The possession of a legal name does not, by itself, establish continuity with the original body, doctrine, or people. A name can be retained while the substance beneath it changes entirely.

Christ warned that many would claim His name while departing from His teachings (Matthew 7:21–23). A church may appear alive outwardly while being spiritually altered at its core (Revelation 3:1). By 1995, the legal entity using the name “Worldwide Church of God” had adopted doctrines and traditions contrary to what had been taught before, setting aside Sabbath observance and the Holy Days in favor of the traditions of this world (Mark 7:7–9).

Many asked why members left. The answer is straightforward: those who controlled the corporate name were dismantling the faith and practices that had defined the Church.

A Personal Witness

My family, the Kitchen family, left at that time for that very reason. It was not an abandonment of truth, but a refusal to follow doctrinal change and error. Scripture instructs believers to mark and separate from those who do not continue in sound doctrine (Romans 16:17; 2 John 9–10).

Where Is the One Body?

Nearly thirty years later, a recurring question arises, especially from those who were not present during that period: Where did the one Body go?

Scripture describes the Church as a single spiritual organism, joined together and fitted as one body under Christ, not defined by corporate boundaries or legal frameworks (1 Corinthians 12:12–27; Ephesians 4:4–6, 15–16). Those who sought to remain faithful did not disappear. Continuity must be traced by examining fruits, doctrine, obedience, and faithfulness, not signage, URLs, or incorporation papers (Matthew 7:16–20; John 14:15).

Authority Is Not Hereditary

Some have suggested that continuity rests exclusively in a single family line, implying that authority was passed down generationally. This presents a serious theological error. Authority in God’s Church is not hereditary. Scripture shows that God alone appoints authority and offices according to His will, not by bloodline (Hebrews 5:4; John 15:16).

A father’s authority within the family is real and God-given (Ephesians 6:1–4), but it is not transferable as ecclesiastical authority to his children. Spiritual authority is granted by God, not inherited (Numbers 16:1–11; Acts 13:2–3).

My own father never claimed ordination from the Worldwide Church of God or from any later organization. While he faithfully exercised the authority God gave him as a husband and father, he never asserted ministerial authority he did not possess. Any claim to the contrary misunderstands both his position and the biblical nature of authority (Luke 20:1–8).

Preserving What Was Delivered

The archives exist to preserve the historical record, not to redefine it. While domain names may change hands and legal structures may shift, the original content remains exactly where it was first established, unchanged and unedited.

Scripture repeatedly emphasizes remembering the former things and preserving what was faithfully delivered (Deuteronomy 32:7; Proverbs 22:28; Jeremiah 6:16). The archives have followed the same path as the Church that originally produced those fruits. Both were compelled to adapt legally in order to continue faithfully.

Conclusion

Those who look only at the surface may assume something was lost. In reality, the body remains standing. What changed was the sign and the legal framework, not the foundation God Himself established. That foundation does not move, regardless of names, corporations, or appearances (1 Corinthians 3:11; Hebrews 13:8).

The archives remain where they were placed. The record remains intact. And continuity remains with those who hold fast to what was delivered, once and for all.

Come not by the thieves and robbers, but by Jesus Christ!

John 10:7-14 KJV
7 Then said Jesus unto them again, Verily, verily, I say unto you, I am the door of the sheep.
8 All that ever came before me are thieves and robbers: but the sheep did not hear them.
9 I am the door: by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved, and shall go in and out, and find pasture.
10 The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.
11 I am the good shepherd: the good shepherd giveth his life for the sheep.
12 But he that is an hireling...

(corporate ministers, aka Churchianity. Employees of corporate churches)

..and not the shepherd, whose own the sheep are not...

(the sheep are not their "children in the Lord". Not their members of their organization. God's sheep will never join them.)

..seeth the wolf coming, and leaveth the sheep...

(Leaves - To send forth to the wolf, yield up to the wolf, to neglect, to leave one by not taking him as a companion or fellow member of God's Church, to leave them to die, to abandon and leave destitute. Strong's G863. Also Thayer's dictionary.)

..and fleeth:...

(To vanish from, to SHUN. Strong's G5343. And Thayer's dictionary)

..and the wolf catcheth them, and scattereth the sheep.

(The wolves scatter the body of Jesus Christ. Scatter - to scatter, to dissipate, to be LIBERAL!! THESE ARE LIBERALS! THEY WATER DOWN AND LIBERALIZE THE BODY OF JESUS CHRIST! To draw the sheep away from the Shepherd unto themselves! They seek members so they can have more numbers and members and money. They will go after the children, to draw them away from God's Government within the Family)
13 The hireling fleeth, because he is an hireling, and careth not for the sheep.
14 I am the good shepherd, and know my sheep, and am known of mine.

The Body of Jesus Christ is connected to Jesus Christ. God the Father sent His Son. His son, Jesus Christ sent Herbert W Armstrong! Jesus Christ THROUGH Herbert W Armstrong sent the ministry! It was God the Father that sent them through Jesus Christ and Herbert W Armstrong! Eliminate any one of them, and you erase yourself from God's Church and Coming Kingdom, and from the book of Life! There is Government in His Body, and you break that chain in that Governmental line, whom God and Jesus Christ placed, you're not in it. Hirelings, and wolves look to draw away members of God's Church, unto themselves, unto their organization and corporate Church. If they cannot pull the Father of the family, they go after the wife. And if the wife cannot be pulled away, they will go After the Children. I have witnessed this very thing! I have lived through it, and God shows me instantly when it happens, by the power of His Holy Spirit. Because without it, I would be blind to it. I wouldn't see it. But I do. That's God through and through, and the Glory goes to God. I have come across many wolves, who seek to steal and destroy, JUST AS JESUS CHRIST SAYS! They, the hirelings and wolves, say the sheep have a path of destruction behind them, because many have clung to them with vain flatteries, or false pretenses! With ulterior motives! And their plans fell through and came to nothing! God's Word is true every time! Some were trying to take the children , literally. Some sought more members for their corporate Churches. All with lies and deception, false pretenses, of their father the Devil! Judge the fruits! What does God say He will do? The fire of God is coming up on the disobedient and rebellious! God come quickly and RIP your sheep from their claws and deliver what they have delivered to us!

Read Zechariah 11!

All who do such a thing to His sheep, God will destroy. God's Word says it. The hirelings and wolves tell God's sheep not to go, but GOD SAYS GO! And it's go time! Come out of her my people! That you receive not of her plagues, which GOD WILL ISSUE UPON THEM! Come out of this Churchianity, which is the image of the Beast! This corporate dictated, man devised organizations, and be the Church of God, the Body of Jesus Christ, the spiritual organism! For when Man says don't do, when God says do. OBEY GOD RATHER THAN MEN.

I was told to stay home from the Feast of Tabernacles. But God says to Go!!! Whom did I listen to? God! And the wolves and hirelings did what they do, and told the people of God to disobey God. But God's sheep and Ministers obeyed God regardless of what they were told. The sheep know CHRIST'S VOICE AND WILL FOLLOW HIM! Follow no other voice brethren!
And I pray for those fighting Christ and working against Him, to REPENT. And change their view on God's Church. And stop being hirelings to their corporate church. I do not seek favour of men, but of God. If God says to go, Let's go!

Act 5:29 KJV Then Peter and the other apostles answered and said, We ought to obey God rather than men.

The GOSPEL! Are you being taught this? Hear what God has to say to YOU! Yes, you all who are interested.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
"He who has an ear, you BETTER hear, while you may! Because there will come a famine of the hearing of the Word of God. People don't seem to like the Word of God, they don't want the TRUE Word of God, they would rather have the fables of MEN! Men that come in the NAME of Jesus Christ, men who exalt him and say that Jesus IS the Christ. But Men who do not speak His message, but speak the message of men and of the MEN who've SENT THEM!

Jesus said that He came in the name of His Father. And they wouldn't listen to Him. But He said if another man come in his own name or in the name of MEN, they would LISTEN, and that's exactly what they are doing today!

Now Jesus said, "my doctrine is not mine but HIS that sent me." That's what I give you my friends! The Same DOCTRINE. It's in YOUR BIBLE. Will you open your Bibles and look at it?"

Just what is the Work of God? What is God's definition? Are any of the Church of God organizations doing the Work of God?
John 6:28-29

Joh 6:28 Then said they unto him, What shall we do, that we might work the works of God?
Joh 6:29 Jesus answered and said unto them, This is the work of God, that ye believe on him whom he hath sent.

Christ was sent, and according to Matthew 10:12-17, Christ said if they reject the person or the message sent through whom HE SENDS, AKA THE APOSTLES, he did not send forth anyone else other than Apostles, NOTICE THAT!

Who did God send in this End-time?

Herbert W Armstrong!

If you reject the one CHRIST sent, you are NOT doing the Work! Plain as day.

And those who are called of God hears God's Words through Christ, through the Apostle whom He sent, Mr. Herbert W Armstrong!

John 8:47 KJV He that is of God heareth God's words: ye therefore hear them not, because ye are not of God.

1Jn 4:6 KJV We(The Body of Jesus Christ and The Apostles) are of God: he that knoweth God heareth us(The Apostles); he that is not of God heareth not us(or disagree with Jesus Christ). Hereby know we the spirit of truth, and the spirit of error.

Are any of the COG'S doing that?

Have they rejected The one Christ sent and the Message He sent also?

They have!

They all claim that Mr. Armstrong(the one sent) was wrong in some way. Most of what he taught(the message) was wrong, inlcuding prophecy they say.

So are they actually DOING THE WORK OF GOD????

They are not doing the work of God, but THEIR OWN WORKS.

They are not backing up the Apostle God sent.

Some of them claim they are Apostles, but are truly False ones.

(Quote)
"How can you recognize Laodicean characteristics?

Try this simple experiment in order to understand a vital principle. Fill three basins with water. Make one very hot, one lukewarm and one ice cold. Now put your hand in the ice water for a few moments. Withdraw it and place it immediately in the lukewarm water.
The lukewarm water will seem to be BOILING HOT! It will seem to BURN YOU. But it's all a matter of comparison.

When we judge ourselves by COMPARISON with the unconverted world around us, we SEEM HOT -- such "good Christians" -- when actually we may not be hot at all! And this, regrettably, is how all too many true Christians usually test themselves.

But now dip your other hand into the scalding hot water for just a second, and then dip it into the lukewarm water. Now lukewarm will feel cold. This is very possibly the way Christ views some of the members of His Philadelphia Church! "(End quote)

Another one explains the difference between the Laodicean attitude and the Philadelphian.
https://wwcga.com/wp-content/uploads/simple-file-list/Sermons/WWCG-Ministry/gerald_waterhouse/03-30-1981-The-Plan-Of-God-Gerald-Waterhouse.mp3

The un-converted see the Laodiceans as HOT. Many newcomers today, not knowing the TRUE GAUGE, may think the lukewarm as BALANCED Christians! And they see the Philadelphians who are HOTTER than the Laodiceans, as being Harsh. Too HOT!

God sees the True Philadelphians as being HOT. The Laodiceans as being Lukewarm, compared to HOT. Halfway into the world, halfway into the Church. Halfway teaching truth. Halfway teaching error.

That is why they are HOT and COLD. Lukewarm.

Are we to follow their examples? To follow their gauge of spiritual discernment?

God Commands us to HOLD FAST to the one SENT and the teachings Christ SENT WITH HIM! Revelation 3:11

Those who don't will be spewed out of God's mouth. And will have to be purified in the Great Tribulation. WE MUST NOT COMPROMISE THE TRUTH!

Are we going to look to God for the standard HE SENT FORTH? Or what men and corporate Churches create?

Are we going to be Philadelphian and receive protection from the Time of Trouble ahead of us? Or are we going to compromise the truth that was taught by him who was ON FIRE, Herbert W Armstrong, and go through the Tribulation? It was CHRIST'S teachings NOT the man's! It is OUR Choice!

I was told to repent by some and I have looked back in earnestness and sincerity and I repent of going to men for help! God is my help! He sent Jesus Christ. I believe God and Jesus Christ. Jesus Christ sent Herbert W Armstrong, His Apostle. I believe him, KNOWING THE SHEPHERDS VOICE THROUGH HIM! If any minister is out of line with GOD'S Government of which He feeds His Church and does HIS WORK, is not Christ's. Even though they hold the Truth. Remember, Satan the Devil has the Truth and yet HE LIES. He has the evidence before his face, and YET he twists it, CHOOSES not to adhere to it. His ministers will adhere to his corporate Churches. God calls them hirelings.

Do a study on what Laodicean means.

Strong's has "Laodicean" as an inhabitant of Laodicea (G2994)
The origin is G2993, "Laodicea", meaning "Justice of the people".
The origin is a compound of G2992 and G1349.
G2992 is Laos, meaning "people".
G1349 is Deekay(interesting, pronounced the same way of decay, a decaying people!), meaning a "(self)- right, a judgment, a decision, an ex*****on)
The origin is akin to G1166.
G1166 is deiknuō, meaning, "show, expose to the eyes. To give evidence or proof of a thing. To show by words or teach."

So looking back into the origin of the meaning of the word, The Laodiceans are those who have the EVIDENCE stating at their face, they have the truth, but God says they are blind to it, they are poor REGARDING in respect of the Truth, and they are not clothed with it, they're naked. They go forth of their OWN SELF, not with what they have been given by God through His Son and His Apostle. They gauge their own self, not by God's gauge. Not by what God says. They say, but do not do. Getting back to WHAT IS THE WORK OF GOD!? IS GOD WORKING ANY OTHER WAY??? HAS GOD CHANGED???

Repent now, and change and return back to Christ's teachings as taught through His Apostle Mr. Herbert W Armstrong!

Or get a 50/50 chance of NOT making it into God's Kingdom by going through the Tribulation, by continuing in the error taught today. By allowing other people between you and your salvation. The Choice is ours. Are we in the Arena brethren? Are we doing our part of the Work of God?

Why I use Mr. Armstrong's Picture.

I use it, to show everybody who God chose, and who I'm backing and defending. Too many Slander Christ's honor and glory that was shown through Mr. Armstrong. Too many are "offended" at his picture. Why? because God worked through him. I use it to show, if there's any "question", who I believe was TRULY sent by God. The Church's job is to back that work, and back the teaching's of CHRIST that was taught through him, by Christ. I follow God's Government, not man's devised government, of those trying to get TOP position(as Mr. Armstrong had to deal with at HQ). I'm to support God's work that was done THROUGH His Chosen Apostle and End-time Elijah Herbert W Armstrong. It is Christ through Herbert W Armstrong speaking. I will not use my picture, for that'll be used as if I'm trying to point to myself and draw away members. That's not at all the Truth! It is a reminder! It Says This was the one God chose and used and STILL using to ready the bride. He is the one sent by Christ to teach us Christ's way! God COMMANDS us to "Hold Fast" to those Teaching's of CHRIST! I do that and will continue to show everybody that. It is also a warning, to those who want "him" out of the picture. Too many believe and teach, that "Mr. Armstrong doesn't matter now, he's dead, I'm alive , now believe me".
Gerald Waterhouse had a great analogy

Someone calls you one the telephone, you answer it, they say it is so and so, you believe it don't you? You never question who it really is, right? You look at the caller ID, you know who it is!

Now when someone calls you and you never answer. Are you rejecting the telephone? or are you rejecting the caller? You are rejecting the Caller! The telephone is the instrument in which the caller is trying to reach you with.

Now lets look at this, Christ is the Caller. God sends you a instrument in which He(Christ) can communicate to you and get a urgent message to. He calls. You never answer, because you don't like the instrument He sent. You then convince yourself, I'm not rejecting the CALLER(CHRIST) I'm rejecting the instrument(God's Chosen Apostle Herbert W Armstrong), the telephone! Too many do THAT! If you reject the man Christ sent, you reject CHRIST! The COG'S do this. This is why so many will go through the tribulation. because they reject the messenger(singular), that Christ used to "prepare the way". That "messenger" was/is Mr. Herbert W Armstrong! And WHAT he taught was FROM JESUS CHRIST! The Liberals today have used their reasoning to do away with the messenger, and parts of the message. PERVERTING THE MESSAGE! "Oh, God doesn't mean this, let's erase that, and inject this here. NOW, it's MORE perfect than before! God truly is working through me!" No,God is not. These are what they are doing...

Habakkuk 1:14-16
Hab 1:14 And (they)makest men as the fishes of the sea, as the creeping things, that have no ruler over them?(scattering them?)
Hab 1:15 They take up all of them with the angle, they catch them in their net(COG?), and gather them in their drag: therefore they rejoice and are glad.("we truly are being blessed, look how many people are with us!" -COG'S)
Hab 1:16 Therefore they sacrifice(tithes & offerings) unto their net(Church, group), and burn incense unto their drag; because by them(those caught) their portion is fat, and their meat plenteous.(supposedly being blessed, but not by God!) They are stealing TITHES and OFFERING'S.

Take a look at the book of Malachi!

Listen to the Sermon "the plan of God" by Gerald Waterhouse.
https://wwcga.com/wp-content/uploads/simple-file-list/Sermons/WWCG-Ministry/gerald_waterhouse/03-30-1981-The-Plan-Of-God-Gerald-Waterhouse.mp3

Those who do those things in Malachi are the Laodiceans now, with little Holy Spirit left, because they reject the Messenger and the Message Foremost! GOD HATES THAT ATTITUDE shown in MALACHI! That is why they need to be refined in the fire. They need to go through the tribulation, to root out that liberalism in the Church!

People today hate to see Mr. Armstrong because he represented God. And God's Truth. They don't want Christ near them, they want what they want to believe. Not what Christ teaches. They want to belong in their own social club. Compromise truth, for fellowship. God commands us to fellowship with those of like mind. like the saying goes birds of a feather flock together. I don't want to flock with others of a different mind. I strive to live by every WORD of God. And My understanding was given BY JESUS CHRIST through His Chosen Apostle Herbert W Armstrong. CHRIST DID IT ALL! too many just thought it was Herbert Armstrong's work. So they now try to re-do the work, and maybe they will get it right(cause God got it wrong that one time). And they believe, the sincerely believe that! But they are sincerely deceived, and all I can do is warn them and continue to pray for them. My family and I aren't against them(the people) but against the Devil, and the Teachings he duped many into believing is the truth. I don't see the big hubub about Mr. Armstrong's Picture. Or is the reminder of what was taught the reason? Truly the Land can't bear His words(Christ's through His Chosen Apostle and End-time Elijah Herbert W Armstrong)!

I was reading the book of Hebrews and this stood out to me.

Hebrews 12: 5 And ye have forgotten the exhortation which speaketh unto you as unto children, My son, despise not thou the chastening of the Lord, nor faint when thou art rebuked of him:

6 For whom the Lord loveth he chasteneth, and scourgeth every son whom he receiveth.

7 If ye endure chastening, God dealeth with you as with sons; for what son is he whom the father chasteneth not?

8 But if ye be without chastisement, whereof all are partakers, then are ye bastards, and not sons.

⋘══════ ∘◦❁◦∘ ══════⋙
My comment:
I was reading this, and it stood out to me. God gave us His exhortation THROUGH the Apostle Mr. Herbert W Armstrong as Children in The Lord, as He did through the other Apostles as well. And God says time and time again to REMEMBER what you were taught. Incidentally, that is the same message to Ephesus in Revelation 3.
Here it says WE HAVE FORGOTTEN the exhortation, the message, the TRUTH RESTORED.
Now God is coming to correct us all, but he says if WE FORGET what He gave us, we will be chastened or corrected as a BASTARD. A goat. A foolish virgin. Read Matthew 25.
But if we REMEMBER and be MINDFUL of what was taught by Christ's Apostle, we will be chastened or corrected AS SONS! This is referring to Hosea 4:6. But rejecting the exhortation/knowledge/Truth from God, we will be rejected too as BASTARDS. Christ will say I know you not.

If we HOLD UP, remember, be mindful of, continue thereof what Christ has sent to us, we will be corrected as SONS. Those who HOLD FAST will be The Sons of God, members of God's family. Pillars in the Kingdom of God. Read Revelation 3.

There is so much that explains this, but many skim over. God doesn't repeat it in vain. It is very important to God. Is it important to us?
