More information hit the Internet today concerning the current crisis in UCG. There are posts about the Sabbath Papers, posts about those pesky liberals seeking to destroy the 'faith once delivered', and lot's of details on the Chilean family that precipitated this crisis because their day care center operating on the 'sabbath'. The big headline though was this one:
UNITED CRISIS NEARS EXPLOSION!
These postings are all screaming about the liberals in UCG and how THEY are causing this crisis. You have to wonder after reading this stuff as to who is actually causing the problems. Is it really the UCG brass or is it the legalistic Pharisees crowing about how much better they are at keeping the law. There sure is a LOT of boasting going on in their postings.
I am no fan of UCG or the crooks running it. I saw most of them in action while in Pasadena. One can hope that maybe some of them finally are getting their heads out of HWA's holy rear-end and actually stepping back to take a look at what they teach. I really am not going to hold my breathe on that one though. But one can wish.
Instead you quickly see how divisive those who are seeking to hold on to the old ways really are. They are the legalistic Pharisees that want to take members with them as they try to form a new splinter group off of UCG. They will soon be the new wounded martyrs. "We stood up for God's word and look what happened to us! UCG kicked us out and disfellowshipped us for preaching the truth. blah, blah, blah."

United Crisis Near Explosion
When reading the Shining Light Blog more and more it sounds like a bunch of gumpy Pharisees sitting around bitching about those disgusting people Jesus is having dinner with. They dwell in the letter of the law instead of grace. They live in a world of black and white ignoring the fact that Scripture is NOT black and white.
A Pharisee is a sanctimonious, hypocritical, self-righteous heretic who practices and advocates strict observance of external forms and ceremonies of religion or conduct without regard to the spirit. He makes a hypocritical show of religious devotion, piety, and righteousness. He is confident of his own righteousness, and is smugly moralistic and intolerant of the opinion and behavior of others. He pretends to have moral, religious beliefs and principles which he does not possess.
In simple terms…A Pharisee falsely thinks he is a god himself as he pretends to do God’s bidding, enforces God’s laws, knows God’s mind, and has the imagined authority of God in his hands His power is gained by lording over the humble, fearful, sinners who dare not even consider walking toward God because of their dirty transgressions and lowly state.
