Apostle Malm has more wonderful comforting words of wisdom:
Israel was a hard, stubbern, rebellious, stiff necked people; who insisted on doing things their own way and refused to keep even the physical Covenant with God. If one adulterer were stoned it would have ended adultery for another generation. The law was harsh because the people were wicked and needed a powerful example to get through to them that they were living in a manner that would lead to their death.
We must not forget the great mercy of God. When an evil deed is repeated often, it becomes a deeply ingrained habit. The quick death of the unrepentant stopped that repetition in its tracks so that these folks could be resurrected into a better world without a deeply ingrained habit of evil to overcome; and with an experience that they would not want to repeat. Capitol punishment is a mercy to the criminal and his victum and to society at large.We are now in a society where there is great sympathy for the evil doer and little for the potential victims that are saved by the putting away of the evil doers. Through this we have become the most wicked and sinful people. The fruits of our liberalism are obvious.God is a mighty God, who does his will for the ultimate good of all peoples. Sometime that involves a hard spanking and some pain, yet it is for an awesome purpose. Who are we to speak evil of our Maker? Who are we to say that he is the auther and creator of evil? Are those not the thoughts of Job as he had maintained himself against the judgement of God?
Armstrongites always take great boastful pride in proclaiming that they will become god's and rule over worlds in the world of tomorrow. Given how mentally ill some of these people are, particularly those in charge of various splinter cults, can you imagine them in charge of a world in the Kingdom of God? Being sent to Armstrong's lake of fire would be a better alternative than living in a hellish world ruled by these people!
Mr. Malm notes:

Ummm, yes I have noticed this. I believe you are subconsciously projecting this on others, save you know who...
I can't really imagine the KoG with you in charge either.
If Jesus curses a fig tree for no figs ("for it was not the season for figs",) I'm not so sure I'd trust his stability to rule either or at least not let him near rods of iron until he passed some kind of mental health screening.

ReplyDeleteThis was actually a quote from NO2HWA, not David Malm.
Even though Armstrongism is a great evil and the proponents are totally nuts (even if they look respectable in their wool suits and all), it is important that we capture and quote their errors accurately for credibility's sake.
And now onward to more important matters.
ReplyDeleteI suspect that David Malm has forgotten that Scripture says that judgment begins at the House of God.
If this is true, and if God were to truly care about the Armstrongists, they are wicked and would need to be "spanked" first.
As more time goes by, the problem gets worse and worse. The Armstrongists, who are so quick to judge and condemn their colleagues, friends, neighbors, nations and even the people of other sects of Armstrongism (or perhaps, especially the people of other sects of Armstrongism), certainly are in need of an attitude adjustment: They wallow in wickedness; they would not recoginize ethics if it coiled up and bit them in the backside. They are unprincipled, unethical, immoral and illegal. Some of their more outrageous behavior should have landed them in jail or even prison. Stalking and fondling underage teens is illegal. Some things are just immoral, such as ministers committing adultery on their wives while their wives are dying of cancer, isn't strictly illegal: It is a matter for civil court.
During this time of the Days of Unleavened Bread, instead of giving nightly sermons on just how hard it is to get picky little crumbs out of your sofa and heat register, why not repent bitterly of crimes and embracing a false prophet, whose own crimes would have had him meet with a very short life if he were put into prison as he should have been. The other prisoners would not have let him live long after they found out what he did.
But as it was, he became an "End Time Apostle" instead.
And they followed him.
And became sick.
And now they compensate for it by being shrill about how other people are wicked and need to be painfully spanked.
You Armstrongists: You go first and set the example.
What a concept.
Who knew the Kingdom of God would be transformed from redemption to a snuff film?
ReplyDeleteIs that like a Web Redemption?
