Gerald Flurry: I Am King and Law Giver and as Such I Have the Power to Save You as You Gaze On My Beautiful Feet




Gerald Flurry has always held himself up as better than the rest of the church.  He thought he knew more than the WCG when he started rebelling against the changes and formed his own splinter cult.  It has always been about him.  The narcissism and ego-centrism of Flurry is what makes him stand out as another aberrant teacher of Armstrongism.

Here are a few bits of wisdom from the Dear Leader, a man so morally superior that he is now a King and the Official Law-Giver to the Church of God. A man so stupendous that we are to gaze at his feet an awe. Dave Pack has been seen cowering in Wadsworth because of Gerald's holy feet!

Mr. Armstrong had an intimate relationship with God too -- in a way we do not have.  Presently, I am intimate with God in a way no one else is directly; you are, however, indirectly.  This has to do with the man to whom God is giving the revelation.  God gives the revelation to a man and has the Church look to that man.  Then God holds that man very accountable.  Because it is through him and the revelation God gives him that we get to know God intimately.  [RV Sept./Oct. 2000, pg. 6]

Following God’s Man is actually following God.  [TP pg. 11p5]

The Church today will truly unify only by rallying around this throne through a man. ... There is a spiritual Throne of David in God’s Church today.  [TP pg. 12 bottom, 13p1]
  
God placed me into the office of a prophet.  The fruits of new prophetic revelation and a work to declare the message prove who I am.  [TP pg. 21 bottom]
 
In fact, “king” and “counselor” apply to the office I hold.  [TP pg. 34p1]
   
This prophet ... He speaks for God.  Here is a clear statement that God sends a “thus saith the Lord God” through one man – His watchman, or prophet.  The man speaks for God!  [TP pg. 43p2] 

His man, His lawgiver – that prophet. ... He can give His lawgiver something you don’t have ... God has given me that same advantage He gave Mr. Armstrong.  [TP pg. 55p2,3,6]

I didn’t receive this message from man!  I was taught it by revelation from Jesus Christ!  [TP pg. 61p1]
 
Remember, when God places a man in charge, He gives that individual something extra spiritually – an added power to lead God’s people.  That places him at an advantage, prompting the people to look to him.  [TP pg. 62p4] 

Like Paul, I will continue to magnify my office that I might save some. ... The ministers have to magnify this office ... God’s ministers must understand this concept deeply and lead God’s people to magnify my office – which is really God’s office.  [TP pg. 70p1,2,3]  

There is abundant rain coming from a teacher of righteousness – or that prophet. ... It says God has spoken to this man.  That does put me in a different category.  [TP pg. 110p4, 111p5]
 
A man must deliver this message, and cause the whole world to drink it. ... I must cause all the nations to drink this message.  [TP pg. 113 bottom, 114 top]
 
Think on “the feet of him” – some man ... We need to see the beautiful feet of “him” – the one bringing revelation ... God actually wants us to focus on this “him”... Not only should we see the man ... but also notice his feet. ... Look at the beautiful feet of him.  [TP pg. 117p4,6,7, 118p3]

Gerald Flurry's PCG Has Severe Income Drop


Apostle Malm has the following tidbit about Gerald Flurry's miserable little cult:

PCG NEWS: Philadelphia Church of God recently announced that it has seen a drop in income in virtually every category, including some areas of severe drops, all since 2013 began. One category did stay flat, which means it declined due to inflation. Never forget that inflation requires at least minimal growth for any organization to just tread water.

This is fantastic news!  With luck we will see this cult go belly up and the property sold to another housing agency where condo's will be built in the land, or another legitimate school will buy it and teach actual courses that are beneficial to human kind.

Lord Sixpack nearly bankrupted the church building his new mini-me Auditorium. The concert series is not making money and is a financial drain on the PCG just like the AICF co9ncert series was for the WCG.

Now that Dave Pack has his superfantabulistic COG what reason is there for the existence of the PCG?

Restored Church of God Article Recalled As Forgery.....

Apostle thunders..."Anyone who knows my writings would know it was a fake. 
This in no way reflects my style, thinking or message to the Churches of God. 
Pure fantasy."

"Announced earlier, the most important and conclusive article I have written to the Worldwide Church of God splinters has been posted!  I promise this will be the single most crucial article you will ever read. If you do not read it all, it will be the worst decision you have made since God called you. Believe this!"
Apostle David C Pack

Blessed are the merciful,
for they will be shown mercy.
Blessed are the pure in heart,
for they will see God.
Blessed are the peacemakers,
for they will be called children of God.

You are the light of the world. A town built on a hill cannot be hidden.
Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl.
Instead they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house.
In the same way, let your light shine before others,
that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven.

Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moths and vermin destroy, and where thieves break in and steal. But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where moths and vermin do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.

The eye is the lamp of the body. If your eyes are healthy, your whole body will be full of light. But if your eyes are unhealthy, your whole body will be full of darkness. If then the light within you is darkness, how great is that darkness!

No one can serve two masters. Either you will hate the one and love the other, or you will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and money.

Do not judge, or you too will be judged. For in the same way you judge others, you will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you.

Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother’s eye and pay no attention to the plank in your own eye? How can you say to your brother, ‘Let me take the speck out of your eye,’ when all the time there is a plank in your own eye? You hypocrite, first take the plank out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother’s eye.

If I speak in the tongues of men or of angels, but do not have love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal. If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but do not have love, I am nothing. If I give all I possess to the poor and give over my body to hardship that I may boast, but do not have love, I gain nothing.

Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.

Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away. For we know in part and we prophesy in part, but when completeness comes, what is in part disappears. When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I put the ways of childhood behind me. For now we see only a reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known.

And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love.

Therefore if you have any encouragement from being united with Christ, if any comfort from his love, if any common sharing in the Spirit, if any tenderness and compassion, then make my joy complete by being like-minded, having the same love, being one in spirit and of one mind. Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit. Rather, in humility value others above yourselves, not looking to your own interests but each of you to the interests of the others.

Greet all God’s people in Christ Jesus. The brothers and sisters who are with me send greetings. All God’s people here send you greetings, especially those who belong to Caesar’s household.

The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit. Amen
