00:00Hey, shalom brothers and sisters, welcome back.
00:03I thank you again for joining me today.
00:06Yesterday, or a few days back, I did a video on Clarence O'Dodd and I told you I'd come
00:12back and do another one on Andrew Duggar and I want to do a little biography about him
00:17now.
00:18So, uh, just for, you know, because like I said in the other video, these men don't get
00:23a lot of credit.
00:24A lot of people don't know them.
00:26And I think they're just interesting characters and people in the past and it's just educational
00:33and like I said, some of you might know who Andrew Duggar here is and if so, you know,
00:41put down in the comments, add whatever or anything like that.
00:44But I want to talk about him right now.
00:48Right here, he's born in November 19th, 1886.
00:52He passed away November 2nd, 1975.
00:58Andrew's full name was Andrew Nugent Duggar.
01:02Andrew was a prominent religious minister and a Sabbatarian missionary in the 20th century.
01:09He was also the president of the General Conference of the Church of God Seventh Day in the USA
01:18during the periods 1921 to 1927 and 1929 to 1931.
01:26Mr. Duggar was considered the founder of the Unitarian Movement, Churches of God Seventh
01:33Day of Mount Zion, a group of congregations that followed Duggar's leadership and influence
01:42to Jerusalem and Israel when it broke away from the General Conference of the Church
01:47of God Seventh Day.
01:51Duggar was the son of Alexander F. Duggar, a minister of the Church of God Seventh Day
01:56from 1874 until his death in 1910, who was the first vice president of the General Conference
02:06of the Church of God Seventh Day when the state conferences were unified into a single
02:12organization on October 5th, 1884.
02:18Andrew was a farmer and a school teacher in 1910, however, he was involved in church ministry
02:25affairs as early as 1906.
02:29Later, Andrew followed in his father's footsteps and dedicated himself to a career as a minister
02:36within the Church of God Seventh Day.
02:39For this to happen, Duggar had to sell his farm and go to the University of Chicago where
02:46he learned theology and how to speak in an oratory and mastered biblical Hebrew, Greek,
02:56and even the German language.
02:58In 1925, he married Effie Carpenter and they had five children, John, Paul, Charles, Andrew,
03:07Orabel, Naomi, and Mary.
03:11Some other reports said he had eight children, but here I only found five names of the children.
03:19After graduation, he moved to Stanbury, Missouri because of an invitation by the authorities
03:26of the Church of God Seventh Day where he served as editor of the Bible Advocate magazine,
03:32a position he held for 18 years from 1914 as well as the presidency of the General Conference
03:41of the Church of God Seventh Day in the USA in 1921.
03:46In 1924, Duggar established the Christology of the Church of God Seventh Day through an
03:54article which promoted Arianism.
03:59According to Robert Coulter, which is a minister, Christology would not be discussed again until
04:051980 when the Church integrated the divinity of Jesus into their beliefs.
04:14In the early 1930s, the controversial preacher Herbert W. Armstrong was a member of the Church
04:23of God Seventh Day during the temporary split in 1933, so Salem and Stanbury, they had a
04:31little split up, the church fractured, that would form the Salem Conference of the Church
04:38of Seventh Day.
04:40Armstrong sided with the Salem group and Andrew Duggar opposed to the Stanbury, Missouri side.
04:49Regarding the formulation of the doctrine of British Israelism, Mr. Armstrong mentions
04:55in his autobiography a letter received from Andrew Duggar responding to a request for
05:03publication.
05:04And here's what Mr. Duggar wrote, Mr. Armstrong, Dear Brother Armstrong, I have just finished
05:12the manuscript of the Third Angel's Message in British Israel.
05:17You are surely right, I cannot use it, may the Lord bless you.
05:24So even though Andrew Duggar said it was right and Mr. Armstrong was correct, he just couldn't
05:31use it in his magazine, he didn't publish it.
05:33Anyways, continuing on, this coincidence is not due to Armstrong teaching Duggar, but
05:39rather the both were influenced by Clarence O'Donnell, which I talked about days back.
05:47Duggar was primarily interested in the work of prophecy and the relationship between the
05:53church and Israel that Dodd preached, while Armstrong was interested in Dodd's exploit
06:01British Israelism, who in turn learned it from Greenberry G. Rupert, along with the
06:09keeping of the biblical Feast of Leviticus 23.
06:16Years later, Dodd would break away from the church the seventh day, as is considered the
06:22founder of the Sacred Names Movement.
06:26In 1949, there were talks of a reunification and Duggar was against it, when it was Salem
06:34and Stanbury.
06:35In 1952, he and his wife decided to move to Jerusalem in Israel, and was living there
06:40by 1953.
06:45Andrew Nugent Duggar passed away in 1975 in Israel, Jerusalem.
06:51At the age of 89, his son-in-law, Gordon Fauth, continued the work of the Mount Zion Reporter.
07:04So that was a little brief story about Mr. Duggar, of course.
07:11You can always look him up online.
07:15I just remember a long time ago, when I first started getting into Bible studies back in
07:20the late 90s, I got a booklet that did mention Mr. Duggar and Mr. Armstrong.
07:27It just kind of intrigued me, and the names stuck in my mind.
07:33Like a circle of life, the names come back, and I decided to do some research on them
07:39and share it with you.
07:41But anyways, let me know what you think about this, or even my video before with Clarence
07:48O'Dodd.
07:49You know, comment, let me know what you think, if you've heard of him, whatever, you know.
07:57Anyways, next week I'm going to do another one on Angelo Trena, another 20th century,
08:05I guess you'd call him a religious pioneer.
08:09He went by A.B. Trena, T-R-A-I-N-A, Trena, and it'll be interesting, so stick around,
08:19because that'll be coming up here in a few days.
08:22And anyways, all I've got to say is, please give me a big like, hit that notification
08:29bell and also subscribe, I could use some more subscribers, and feel free to look at
08:35my past videos, something might spark your interest.
08:39That's all I have to say right now, thank you again for joining me, until we meet again
08:43brothers and sisters, peace out and shalom.
