A couple of things from the Apostle today. He has a new command for the FOT - you are to study Deuteronomy every seven years.
We have a command to study through the Book of Deuteronomy every seventh year at the Feast of Tabernacles. Very few COG organizations have ever done that so they do not understand that Deuteronomy is a final warning of the consequences of disobedience and the blessing of obeying God.
The Apostle also seems to have been getting a lot of flak lately about people thinking he is starting a new "church." He claims he is not, but lays out what he is specifically anointed to to do:
1) I see myself as providing a wake up call, a kind of early warning, a kind of watchman’s warning that things are finally coming to a head. It is my purpose and I have always declared that my purpose is to wake people up, to shock if necessary, but to get people to begin to think, to question, to study diligently, to seek God with all their hearts and to turn to him; in preparation for the trials to come.
I am not trying to start any group; I am trying to wake up ALL the groups!
2) I honestly believe that we are at the very edge of the hour of trial and that the tribulation of Jacob’s trouble could begin within a very short time. It is my personal opinion that the final false prophet the abomination, could be set up in Rome as early as mid Sep of 2012, and the tribulation could begin within the following 75 days.
But in order to cover his ass when his prediction fails, which it will, he takes the easy wayy out:
Regardless of whether this does come in 2012 or a year or two later, we can all be properly prepared by turning to our God with whole hearted, zealous, passionate, enthusiasm.
Indeed if this does not come for a very long time, the situation in the COGs still requires a revival of zeal and godliness before our light flickers out and God turns away from us. We tend to think so very much of ourselves when we are NOTHING unless we are zealous for our Father and our Maker. God will NOT forsake us, yet we are forsaking HIM by our lack of zeal for him and his ways; and our sins have come between us.
3) The ongoing situation in the COGs is one of deepening lukewarmness and laxity rather than a revival of zeal for God and his commandments. This falls directly into the prophecies of Laodicea.
4) I am very ill with the end game complications of diabetes which runs in my family; and I do not have more that a year or two left, without a miracle from God. I have no interest in pleasing any man or organization, my only interest is in pleasing God. That places me in a position to reach out to ALL the groups and to ALL of God’s people with the wake up call.
5) I believe that the brethren and elders consist of: A. the deeply converted, B. the lax and lukewarm and C. many tares. In short ALL the groups are a mix of these three.
6) I expect that God will send his two prophets to take his faithful and that they shall reveal themselves through meeting the biblical description and shall have the power to remove God’s faithful who will choose to respond to them. Then my job will be completed.
7) A small number who have learned to stand on God’s word and not to idolize men, will respond and leave the groups; the groups will remain and they shall be destroyed, for God will destroy the idols of the people. God will force the decades old spiritual babes to stand on their own spiritual feet.
It is my mission to give the warning; to boldly declare that the Eternal is God and beside him there is NO other!!!
I am trying to wake people up and get them questioning, thinking, proving, studying and turning to our Father with all our hearts in a passionate dedicated zeal for him and his ways.
That is may agenda; I will not lie to anyone. My agenda is to give an early warning, to encourage questioning and truth seeking; and that will divide the zealous and faithful from the lax, lukewarm and faithless.

United did its part: On September 10th, they had a prophecy seminar at the Jason Lee Middle School in Tacoma, Washington for "outside" people.
So much for accusation of "Laodocean"!
Rejoice, Brethren!
12 people showed up!
Of course, they might have mistaken it for the SDA Church Building across the street.
"I am very ill with the end game complications of diabetes which runs in my family; and I do not have more that a year or two left, without a miracle from God.'
If this is true, to me, it goes a long way in explaining the 'mission from God' aspect of Malm's worldview.
Out of control sugar can wreak havoc in the nervous system and brain function. Add to that decades of soaking in the concept of the 'one true church' and a ,no doubt, sincere desire to be in the right place doing the right things, and I believe we can account for the zealousness.
While one would be circumspect to follow or believe Mr. Malms views and Biblical interpretations, I can understand what he is up against physically and it may be making thinking much more God Haunted and compulsive. High sugar this severe simply destroys the body.
At any rate, if he is being honest about his physical condition, then i say show some compassion , take him with a grain of salt theologically and realize that dying or the idea one's impending end of life scenerious is the main reason we humans even come up with religion. We alone know that we will die. Sometimes being a shih tzu is not all that bad a life.
IMHO

Again, you've gotten to the crux of the subject. Animals only worship their masters because they provide everything they need. Our little dogs certainly worship us or appear to.
When contemplating giving up totally on religion, the fear of what would happen at the end of my life was the main negative driving force. One of the first things you will hear from the religious addicts is "you're going to hell." Fear is what keeps most adherents in line.
The next fear is the "Great Tribulation." That has been milked for more groveling and fearful giving than anything else besides actual death.

Get treatment.
I would also add that many if not most of the OT "Prophets" n NT Apostles showed the classic signs of schizephrenia, temporal lobe epilepsy and other associated mental illnesses. since we do not have access to them in real life, their quirkiness seems spiritual when in fact, it is a medical condition gone wild.
We let Ezekiel get away with lying on his side for a year and then again on the other, eating and cooking with his own dung, drilling holes in the temple and squeezing through the hole and laying seige to a frying pan without a second thought. Today...I don't think so.
Paul had his visions and voices which we take as spiritual insites given by God. Happens today...not so much.
Would it not be a hoot if ALL modern day religion originated in the mental illnesses of those in the past//?????? woo hooooo
We have a command to study through the Book of Deuteronomy every seventh year at the Feast of Tabernacles.
There's actually Scripture to support this - if anyone is interested.
I attended a Feast site in 2008 where they actually did this, in a way. We read through the entire book of Deuteronomy every morning before the main service, with short comments about our reading at the end.
Trouble was, on the best days about 25 people showed up. Out of hundreds in attendance.
The "Books of Moses" were written by a number of priests with different agendas during the Babylonian captivity to give an insignificant people an amazing pedigree. There may have been no Moses in space and time.
And some ACoGs actually read the first five books of the Bible through the Feast, often staying up to 11:00 PM and starting again by 7:00 AM.
It makes for a very difficult and awful Feast, but hey, you're doing exactly what the Pharisees would do during Christ's time: Ignoring Jesus Christ in order to keep the Law to the exclusion of everything else.
Hey people, this was for "unconverted" physically minded Israelites who did not have access to the scrolls and who certainly didn't have the spiritual understanding to even "get" what was being read to them. In fact, it isn't necessarily clear how many of them could read and write.
Whatever.
I wonder about his choice of words. Basically he's told us that he is frantically posting all of this stuff because he feels that he doesn't have much time left to live.
If one feels that one has an annointing or is doing God's work, wouldn't it be more indicative of a relationship with God to express faith that if God indeed has a job for them to complete, He will certainly heal and preserve them so that the job can get done?

Malm says, "I Encourage questioning and truth seeking". That's a bold faced lie. He does not tolerate deep questions. You have to take his "truth" without question / praise him for his zeal, effort, understanding, etc. or get your comments deleted. Pffft.
You will know them by their fruits.
