Ordained to Condemnation

Someone who I thought was converted, but lack of maturity caused to display flickering signs of defiance, stubbornness and rebellion, is now completely subverted, and is now attending services with Dave Pack's Restored Church of God.

Dave Pack used to be a member of The Global Church of God, started by Dr, Meredith.  During that time he was preaching the same heresies that were taught in The Worldwide Church of God.  Heresies such as, the first resurrection will occur at the return of Jesus Christ; there will be a thousand years millennium, where Christ will be on earth ruling from Jerusalem; Satan would then be bound for Jesus's period of rule on earth.  After the millennium Satan would be released to go out and deceived all the people of world, who were living at peace with Jesus for a thousand years.  These deceived people would then organised an attack against the camp of the saints, and then they will be destroyed!  If this teaching is not rabid madness, then I must be deceived.  But God forbid, that these Satanic heresies could be remotely true!  By the way, all these heresies have been embraced and taught by all the divided groups that have been form since God spewed WCG out of his mouth for being rich and increased with goods, naked, blind and lukewarm.

In 1998 Norbert Link, Edwin Pope, Larry Salyer and Raymond McNair hijacked Global from Meredith.  Meredith then set up The Living Church of God, and the next year, 1999, Pack started RCG, to rob deceived, gullible people of tithes and offerings.  But Pack is not alone, Victor Kubic and Les McCullough colluded with an army of hireling ministers from America and the UK, respectively, to accept a redundancy package and then joined UCG.

In August 1995, the cabal first met in Cincinnati, Ohio, to organise the heresy.  They began by giving Wayne Cole a standing ovation for stabbing Mr Armstrong in his back, and then joining Garner Ted and Ron Dart to form CGI. They then elected David Hulme as their leader. A man with a bloated ego, but absolutely no knowledge of the mysteries of the kingdom heaven.

However, three years later David rebelled against the heresy, and went off to set up his own heresy.  Can you believe It?

The Chosen Vessel warned that all of the men who have started their own churches, men "ordained to this condemnation"(Jude 4), would have arisen.  The words of the Chosen Vessel are these, which could have been echoed by Mr. Armstrong: "For I know this, that after my departing shall grievous wolves enter in among you, not sparing the flock.  Also, of your own selves shall men arise, speaking perverse things, to draw away disciples after them"(Acts 20:29-30).

Note the inspired text thus: "Also, of your own selves shall men arise, speaking perverse things, to draw away disciples after them."  I wonder to whom do the hirelings, that left WCG and started their own churches, think this passage apply?  It can only apply to men who were once members of the Church of God.  For it says,"of your own selves." Therefore, it applies to Garner Ted, Ron Dart, Dave Havir, Gerry Flurry, Dave Pack, Dr. Meredith, Raymond McNair, Victor Kubic, David Hulme, Norbert Link, Edwin Pope, Larry Sayler and a hosts of others, that I do not have time and space to mention.  But what I will not fail to mention is this, the day will come that these evil men will wish that they had never been born!

In addition, it will be pointless to explain when the first resurrection began; when Satan was cast out of heaven and bound for a thousands years; when the Devil will be released, and for how long.

The Tongue has Killed more People than the Sword.

King Solomon was inspired to write: "Death and life are in the power of the tongue, and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof"(Pro.18:21).  The question is, what does that mean?  Does it mean that the words the wicked speak are laced with a deadly poison, capable of killing the hearers?  While on the other hand, the words spoken by the righteous give life to those that are capable of hearing?

The Apostle James was inspired to write: "But the tongue can no man tamed; it is an UNRULY evil, full of deadly poison"(James 3:8).  If we are capable of fully grasping what that means, it should bring sadness, grief and lamentation to our hearts.  The Chosen Vessel was also inspired to write: "Their throat is an opened sepulchre; with their tongues they have used deceit; the poison of asps is under their lips"(Rom. 3:13).

Is Salvation opened to everyone?

Greg Williams, the new GCI president, on a recent trip to Israel wrote: "The metaphor used by Matthew likens the Godhead to a mother hen (a rare biblical use of a feminine image for God). The image of a mother hen whose intent is to gather, nurture and protect her offspring. It fits well with Jesus’s words about his impending crucifixion – “And I, when I am lifted up from the earth, will draw all people to myself.” (John 12:32 ESV). Uniting all people to himself – in a relationship of total forgiveness and pure love – was his purpose then and for all time."

The question we must first ask, is that sound doctrine or pure heresy? To answer the question, all we have to do is have a look at what the bible actually teaches. The citation from John 12:32 is, "If I be lifted up from the earth, I will draw all "men" unto me." The term "men" was inserted by the translators with the intent of giving an object to the phrase, "I will draw all..." But the correct translation is, "I will draw all unto me." The "all" refers to God's elect, and that includes women, who were predestined to be called, justified and glorified (Rom.8:29-30). 

For if Jesus were going to draw "all men" to him, that would mean every person who ever lived will be saved. That doctrine is pure heresy. For it denies what is recorded in (Matt. 25:31-46); but especially verse 46 thus: "And these shall go away into everlasting punishment, but the righteous into life eternal." So it is clearly evident from Matthew, and many other Scriptural texts, that only God's elect, whom he calls, "Vessels of Mercy," will be saved.

Joe junior has retired to spend some of the $109 million he got from the sale of Ambassador Auditorium.  That is if he is still alive or not bedridden with an incurable illness.  He introduced rebellion and heresy into WCG, and God asked, "is this of thy whoredoms a small matter.(?)"  The judgment is, woe, woe, woe unto you, says the Lord.

The EU and madness

I find it astonishing, that as the world heads towards disaster, billions of people around the world are discussing the Oscars. That is a classic case of "they sat down to eat and drink, and rose up to play."

The kind of adulation heaped on these people, one would have thought that they were paragons of virtue, decency and good behaviour. When in reality, the film industry is replete with gays, lesbians, fornicators, adulterers, drug addicts and any other vice we may think of. I even heard some one say, "these are role model for the young." Well, if these people are role models, I would hate see the people who are setting a bad example!

Against this background of insanity, a former UK PM, John Major, warned the country of the poverty that will ensue from leaving the EU, and he was vehemently attacked by people who believe there is a utopian, Fantasy Island, currently hidden from view, where the British people will be able to fulfill all their hopes and aspirations, with one foot in Sodom and the other Gomorrah.

Well, they have got some surprises coming! For him to whom the keys of the kingdom were given, was inspired to prophesy the destruction of the universe, as a direct result of the world's moral decline. But he added, "Nevertheless we, according to his promise, look for a new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwells righteousness." The "we," of course, refers to true Christians. And that rules out 98.5% of all the people who attended The Worldwide Church of God, and those who think that God should be worshipped for the sake of money.

More Evil Than Judas.

Judas spent three and a half years in the company of Jesus, but in that time he didn't learn anything of value from the greatest teacher there has ever been.  So at the end of the three and a half years, the devil put it into the heart of Judas to betray Jesus for 30 pieces of silver.  Money, obviously, meant a lot to Judas.  He used to carry the bag (John13:29) with the money that belong to Jesus and the other disciples, but because he was a thief, he used to steal some of that money, thinking, of course, that no one would detect his dishonesty. But it was at the Passover, that his true malevolence was revealed thus: "After the sop, Satan entered into him"(John 13:27).

Of course, Judas treachery was not a spur of the moment action.  It was carefully planned, in collusion with the High Priest, who like WCG's ministry, were supposed to represent God, and the wholesome teachings of the bible. The narrative runs: Then assembled together the chief priests, and the scribes, and the elders of the people unto the palace of the high priest, who was called Caiaphas, and consulted that they might take Jesus by subtlety and kill him"(Matt. 26:3-4).   

After the plot was hatched, we read: "And Judas Iscariot, one of the twelve, went unto the chief priests, to betray him unto them.  And when they heard it, they were glad, and promised him money"(Mark 14:10-11).  Also, Judas asked: "What will you give me, and I will deliver him unto you?  And they covenanted with him for thirty pieces of silver"(Matt.26:15).

Now if we contrast Judas' behaviour with the behaviour of Les McCullough, the UK's former regional director, and Victor Kubic, assistant ministerial director to Joe junior, the Christian mind is shocked by the similarity between Judas and these two evil men. 
Les McCullough first sent the UK ministry on holiday, and then paid them a redundancy package to betray the faithful members of God's church, as they exited the WCG to join UCG.  He then agreed a £60, 000 severance package for himself, on promise that he won't join UCG.  He banked the cheque, and when it cleared, he went and joined UCG.  He coundn't even keep an evil promise!

Meanwhile, in America, Victor Kubic was plotting to leave WCG, and start UCG.  In 1995, the gang of criminal betrayers met in Cincinnati to start their heresy, which has since poisoned the minds of many, while they continue to fight among themselves for the tithes and offerings of the gullible.

Now when Judas realised what he had done, he brought back the thirty pieces of silver, but it was rejected by the high priest.  But these men never realised the evil they had done, so they keep the money.  That makes them more evil than Judas.

Jesus said of Judas: "It had been good for that man if he had not been born"(Matt. 26:24)  What will be said of all those who kept the money, they were paid to betray God's people?

Peter Shenton lamented that he was only paid £15,000, after 22 years talking nonsense on the Sabbath.

I shudder to think what will happen to these evil men!

Supernatural Blindness.

On the 14 October 2018, the baton of the president of GCI was passed from Joe Tkach junior to Greg Williams.  The ceremony was hailed by a cabal of sycophantic boot-lickers, as significant and meaningful, without saying in what way it was either significant or meaningful.  It was also hailed as the end of one era, and the beginning of another.  But yet again, there was no explanation of the era's achievements, but the hope was expressed of future developments.

The degree of deception that Satan has inflicted on GCI is simply astonishing!  The Sabbath has been abandoned, and replaced by Sunday; the Passover by "holy communion;" the Holy Days by "The autumn festivals;" women and men are now ordained as elders; emphasis is placed on going to doctors instead of relying on God for healing and obedience to the teachings of Jesus have been replaced by the mantra, "we are save by grace," without any understanding of why grace was given to God's elect. 

Of course, Joe junior, as well many former ministers of WCG don't understand that a servant cannot resign from a God appointed office!  There is not a single example, to be found in the pages of God's word, where a prophet, a king or a priest resigned from his office!  Yet, a vast number of WCG's ministers resigned from their office to joined another group, that was able to pay them a salary!  That is astonishing!

Trumpets, A Rebuke and The Alarm of Armageddon.

Tomorrow is the Feast of Trumpets. This feast, like all the other feasts of God, was not properly understood in The Worldwide Church of God, but here is not the place to explain the meaning of the feast. 

Suffice to say, as we are living in the final generation of human existence, the message of the Feast of Trumpets is a message of rebuke to those that need urgent repentance, and the proclaiming of the alarm of Armageddon.

The prophet Isaiah was sent to an unrepentant and rebellious nation thus: "Woe to the rebellious children, says the Lord, that take counsel, but not of me"(Isaiah 30:1). Today, people seek counsel from everyone on earth except God in heaven!. Then God told Isiah, "Now go, write it before them in a table, and note it in a book, that it may be for the time to come for ever and ever"(Isaiah 30:7). That time has come! And the message of rebuke from God is, "That this is a rebellious people, lying children, children that will not hear the law of the Lord."  And the ministers of God must "Cry aloud, spare not, lift up your voice like a trumpet, and show my people their transgressions, and the house of Jacob, that is, the church, their sins"(Isaiah 58:1).

Will any of the hireling ministers in UCG, LCG, PCG, RCG, GCI, WCG, COG/Hulme or any of the other divided splinters, that hurt people, lift up their voices like a trumpet to tell the people their sins?  Not likely, for the hireling ministers are probably greater sinners than the docile people in the respective congregations.  Plus, these heretical groups don't want to lose members, and the tithes and offerings that provide for the needs of evil men, whose god is their belly, and whose glory is their shame! 

A prelude to Armageddon is being play out this week, in the form of military exercises with Russia, China and Mongolia.  In the 1970s, Mr Armstrong wrote, that a Euro-Asian alliance will be formed to confront the coming Beast Power, which will emerged out of the EU.

The EU is beginning to lay plans for the formation of a political, economic, military and religious union.  This alliance is called in the bible, the Beast Power and the seventh revival of the holy Roman Empire.  It will cause havoc in the world, until it is confronted by a Euro-Asian alliance, led by Russia and China.

When that time comes, you will wish that you had never been born!
