Apostle Malm is laying his theology for his cult out plain and simple for all to see. The more laws you keep the better God will like you, any maybe even Jesus too. And, if you are really, really good at keeping ALL the law then maybe God might send a little portion of hte Holy Spirit to you. Be careful though, you can loose the HS at your slightest sin.
Apostle Malm is commanding that the DUB and FT are to be kept in their entirety without any work for any sort. You can fix simple meals and do 'necessary' things, but no work! Apostle Malm is like so many in the various harlot daughters that are trying to revert back to the original teachings of HWA. HWA originally held seven day UB's where people traveled to Belknap Springs, OR for UB for seven days. Then in the fall they traveled for eight days for the FOT.
Apostle Malm seems to think his words carry some kind of weight in COGdom. He, and he alone, is the only person really preaching the truth now. UCG, COGWA, LCG, PCG, etc are all wishy-washy compromising sinners who fail to keep every single law his 'god' demands.
Yesterday I introduced the fact the the Feast of Unleavends is commanded to be observed for a full seven days.
So all of you pagan COG churches out there that only keep the first and last days of UB and then send everyone home to do their normal work are heretics and grievous sinners! You are sending your members home so they can enjoy the every day things in life that they do all the time instead of sitting in a sweltering Odd Fellow's Hall listening to some uneducated preacher drone on and on for three miserable hours about nothing.
The Feast of Unleavends is the seven days during which Israel journeyed out of Egypt. For five full days they traveled and on the night beginning the sixth day the wind blew all through the night dividing the Red Sea and providing a means of escape. On the sixth day Israel entered the sea and passed over dry shod. As the sixth day ended Israel looked back for their persuers and the persuers were nowhere to be seen; having been swallowed up by the sea. Then began the seventh day; a High Holy Day of great rejoicing over the victory given by God.
Notice; On the first day [a High Holy Day] they left their homes in Egypt and they were fleeing for the whole six days to rejoice on the seventh. They did NOT just observe the First and Last Days! On EVERY day they were fleeing and that has its lessons for us; this Feast is not just about two days; it is about the whole seven days.
The only 'work' you are permitted to do according to Apostle Malm, is seven days of intensive Bible study.
When we return to doing our own thing during the intervening days: Where are our minds focused? Where are our hearts and spirits truly focused? Certainly not exclusively on God! God wants our attention so that he can spend time with us and teach and rejoice with him; and we can be with each other; encouraging and learning from one another! How Wonderful!
The whole seven days are a time to be spent with God in intense study; drinking in the very mind of Christ through study, fellowship and mutual spiritual instruction and support. Yes this pictures the need to put sin OUT and take Christ IN throughout our lives; if we do not do this through the Feast; that picture pales and is greatly diminished. We do this through the WHOLE seven days as a proper picture of the need to do so without slacking, throughout our lives.
Only work essential for the Festival such as food preparation and basic needs should be done during the Non Sabbath days of the Spring and Fall Festivals.
More disrupted school days for your kids. More jobs lost because you will need a SECOND vacation for religious reasons. On and on the legalistic list of unnecessary rules and regulations goes and the ramifications it has on those people who decide to follow this silliness. More 'martyrs' for the 'word' of another fake 'apostle.'
This dude ought to get a clue from circumcision, which was an absolute lynchpin to the Abrahamic covenant, and the Mosaic or Old Covenant. Even moreso than the holy days. Read what Paul had to say about circumcision. These things were all shadows, and have been fulfilled by Jesus Christ. Christians today walk in the Spirit, not physical ritual.
ReplyDeleteIt occurred to me today that in all of our life circumstances, we have opportunities to be part of situations which are building, or situations which are decaying. All of the ACOG splinters appear to be ever more fanatically applying the Armstrong principles, yet the more they do, the more they splinter, and the more the general Armstrong movement continues to decay. That should speak volumes as to whether they have the witness of God behind them. They believe the end is getting closer, and their work should actually be building to a crescendo, yet somehow that never seems to happen. It just doesn't compute, does it?

Skip the idea he is a credible theologian. Get over the impression he knows what he is talking about and speaks for God and Jesus. The man is god-haunted and weird. One of the great things those plagued with either mental illness or delusional thinking about their own role in God's universe for truth is that the Bible they quote makes them seem credible.

If you are going to be gone from your home for 8 days (Passover + 7), then why put leavening out of your house?
ReplyDeleteSeriously, what is Malm's background? I assume he goes back to Worldwide but beyond that, I have no clue. Anyone know him at some point?
ReplyDeleteMahm was quoted as writing: "...For five full days they traveled and on the night beginning the sixth day the wind blew all through the night dividing the Red Sea and providing a means of escape. On the sixth day Israel entered the sea and passed over dry shod. As the sixth day ended Israel looked back for their persuers and the persuers were nowhere to be seen; having been swallowed up by the sea. Then began the seventh day; a High Holy Day of great rejoicing over the victory given by God..."
ReplyDeleteIf that were true, then the Israelites came out of Egypt in only 6 days and not 7 days, but scripture clearly shows that it took 7 days for the Israelites to come out of Egypt.
Exodus 23:15 “Thou shalt keep the feast of unleavened bread: (thou shalt eat unleavened bread SEVEN DAYS, as I commanded thee, in the time appointed of the month Abib; for in IT thou camest out from Egypt: and none shall appear before me empty:)”
As that verse says, in IT = In those 7 days, not 3 days, 6 days…., but in IT…in 7 days…and then exodus entirely out of the land of Egypt.
Here’s another verse for consideration:
Deuteronomy 16:3 “Thou shalt eat no leavened bread with it; seven days shalt thou eat unleavened bread therewith, even the bread of affliction; for thou camest forth out of the land of Egypt in haste: that thou mayest REMEMBER THE DAY when thou camest forth out of the land of Egypt all the days of thy life.”
The Israelites came out on “the day!” Which day? Day 6 when the Sea was opened and the wind blew all night? Was that the day to remember? No! Day 7 was “…the day…”! Why not mark that day with a holyday? Days 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 are not holydays and they are not holy convocations. Day 7 is a holyday and a holy convocation! Why? The Israelites did not come of Egypt on day 2, 3, 4, 5 or day 6! They came out on “the day,” the day marked by God and God wants remembered…the day the Israelites came forth out of the land of Egypt. That did not happen until they all came through the Red Sea and then they all were totally out of Egypt: not before!
Another verse, speaking about “…this day, in which ye came out from Egypt…” is as follows:
Exodus 13:3 “And Moses said unto the people, Remember THIS DAY, in which ye CAME OUT FROM EGYPT, OUT of the house of BONDAGE; for by strength of hand the LORD brought you OUT FROM this place: there shall no leavened bread be eaten.”
Simply stated, the Israelites were NOT out of Egypt on day 1, day 2, day 3, day 4, day 5 or day 6. They were still in Egypt on those days…and the sea was opened up on day 6, but strong wind was needed to dry out the wet sea bed to then allow the Israelites to come out of the land of Egypt on the 7th day, marked by God as a holyday, a time for a holy convocation for His people and God wants that day remembered, because it took all 7 days for Israel to come totally out of Egypt and that was evident once they crossed that Red Sea!
It appears that God has put special significance on the 1st and 7th days, not the 1st and 6th days, and He made them holydays and holy convocations do occur on those 2 days. It appears that Isarael came out of Egypt "in it:" in all 7 days and not 6 days.

What a bunch of garbage Malm puts forth as religion!
ReplyDeleteGive it a moment or two to load.
Put simply Malm, the Old Covenant is KA-POOT, per Jesus Christ, John 4:21. NO LONGER James, KA-POOT! KA-POOT!

Never knew or heard of a Malm when I was in WCG. He must be a johnny come lately. Anyone who came along after about 1975 is just that to me. He's certainly addled beyond all comprehension if you have a smidgen of reasoning left.
