Most traditional Christians consider Armstrongism to be a cult.最传统的基督徒考虑armstrongism是一个邪教。 The reliance on a modern person to be a source of Prophetic insight (which Armstrong never actually claimed), the "triple tithe" (10% for regular giving; 10% for benevolent support; and 10% for an annual Feast), very rigid Sabbath-keeping attitudes, and an insularity from all other Christian Churches and organizations which are considered Satan-driven, are some of the reasons for this common opinion that Armstrongism is not truly Christian.依靠现代的人的一个根源先知性的洞察力(即阿姆斯特朗从未真正声称) , "三重什一税" ( 10 % ,定期给予10 %为仁政支持;和10 % ,为年度盛宴) ,十分坚硬安息日保存的态度,以及一个岛国,从所有其他基督信仰教会和组织被认为是撒旦驱动的,是一些原因,为这一共同认为armstrongism是不是真正的基督徒。 In addition, Armstrong believed that there was not just one God but two, he did not believe in the Trinity, and he believed that all Church members will some day attain Godhood are similarly considered non-Christian.此外,阿姆斯壮认为,现在还没有一个上帝,但两个,他不认为在三一,他相信所有教会成员,将有一天达到godhood正考虑以类似的非基督徒。 Many controlling attitudes toward behavior are also part of Armstrongism beliefs, specifying lengths of hair, styles of clothing, etc., no holiday celebrations, no divorce, no smoking许多控制态度,行为也有一部分armstrongism信仰,指明长度的头发,风格的衣服等,没有节庆文化,并没有离婚的,无吸烟
These changes in teachings have been enormous.这些变化,在教义已非常庞大。 The almost entire reversal of position on a number of core beliefs and practices has seriously shaken the Church.几乎整个逆转的立场,就一些核心理念和做法,已严重动摇了教会。 Many pastors and members have left as a result, often to form or join a splinter Armstrongism group.许多牧师和成员已离开因此,往往组建或加入的一个分支armstrongism组。 Where membership had been 145,000 worldwide (89,000 in the US) during the late 1980s, these numerous departures have resulted in a current Church of around half that size, around 75,000 worldwide (49,000 in the US).如果会员已在全世界145 000 ( 89000个在美国)在20世纪80年代末,这些众多的出发地造成了目前教堂周围的一半大小,约75000名世界各地( 49000名在美国) 。 These reductions have greatly reduced the Church's income and cash flow, and it seems to be financially struggling now.这些削减已大大减低了教会的收入和现金流,它似乎是在财政上挣扎。
Joseph Tkach has even issued a broad apology on behalf of the Church collectively, regarding past errors in incorrect and misleading teachings.约瑟夫tkach甚至发表了一份广泛的道歉代表教会的集体,对于过去的错误,在不正确及具误导性的教义。 If, in the long run, this Church survives its changes, it will likely represent one of the most striking transformations in the history of Christianity.如果,从长远来看,这个教会生存及其变化,它可能会代表的一个最引人注目的变革,在历史上的基督教。
