Pack certainly has no problem opening his big mouth and making an ass of himself. Did you know that he claims that his name is a derivative of the word Pascha? As if this is supposed to give him some divine mandate for being an apostle. Since the Passover has at is base the concept of forgiveness, redemption and wholeness, there certainly cannot be found in Davey Pack any forgiveness and he certainly does not have the power to provide redemption or the tools for wholeness.
Here is a letter from one of his former members calling him on the carpet for it.
One last and, what should be a, totally shocking example of Mr. Pack’s mind can be found in his latest book “How often should The Lord’s Supper be taken?” At the bottom of the first paragraph on page 9 the following statement can be found, As a side note, while researching my genealogy, I learned that our family name is derived from this very word pascha. This statement is made as a concluding remark for the section explaining the translation of the Hebrew word for Passover. He not only makes the point about his name but it looks as though this is the fact he wants the reader to take with him or her!! How can a man of God actually and publicly state that his name in effect is PASSOVER? It should be made known here that Mr. Pack was advised at some length not to include this statement for obvious reasons. He has insisted on leaving this remark in the book and I might add that this is the weaker version of that statement. It originally read …I learned that my name is derived from this very word pascha. Is there anyone in God’s Church who, if they had found this to be true, would actually include this in a book that they had authored? I guess we have at least one!
Brethren, these are only the things that I am aware of. I ask you what else is out there and more importantly how many times does this have to happen before we all wake up and realize that this man is not who he pretends to be? I do not know how else to say it. I know that all you have to go on is my word, along with a steady stream of other individuals, who have over the years tried to tell you the same thing again and again and again.
The time will come when we will all have to stand before God One at a time. Does it not make sense that He would test us now, One at a time, perhaps to see if we can stand One at a time, finding out if we can be trusted in his Kingdom that is surely closer than we think?

People in the West took surnames long after the Bible was written.
By that time, ""Pascha" was the standard Greek word used for what they called their Paschal (Easter) celebration.
Yes, the etymology tracks back to the transliterated Hebrew word for the Passover. But that's not how Pack's ancestors were using it when they took the name. Dave Pack is named after EASTER.
I believe this may be very very accurate and that in God's time, DCP will be passed over as a credible Bible teacher.

PS The "C" in DCP must stand for "W" Can't be a COG Apostle without a "W"
"The meaning of the surname DIEHL is - descendant of Diehl, from Dudo, a pet form of names beginning with Diet (people)."
I think it's pretty obvious I am a descendent of the people which simply has to mean, "the chosen people" "The true people" "The only people worth knowing and following..." "The overarching People," "The amazing people" and so forth...
Please send it in...
According to that great source of all validated knowledge, Wikipedia (cough, cough. hack), Pascha is the Passover.
It may be appropriate to consider Pack as Passover.
We should pass over him to completely ignore everything he says and does, even as the Death Angel ignored the Israelites who had blood on their door jambs.
And anyway, with David Pack, there's certainly been a lot of shedding of blood, hasn't there?
I cannot imagine all the crap David Pack threw out there about himself before the internet age. Heck, he still does but I'm betting it was spread on extra thick back in the day.
Oh seriously. What other silliness is he going to come up with?
Wasn't there something out there not too long ago saying he was the high priest?
How about this, King David never dies, he just went into hiding and had immortal powers and now he is back to rule and reign with a rod of iron.
If aliens are looking to kidnap someone, can't they get this off the planet and leave the rest of us along.
I think DCP is giving into the Dorkside

What Dave Pack is hinting at, is that he is the passover lamb, hence Jesus.
P.T.
You know what, that's pretty
F'n scary. Anyone who claims that title is Anti-Christ. The Jesuse/Yeshua of the bible is not here on earth now, and anyone that claims that title is of the adversary.
All COG beware, Yeshua/Jesus is in Heaven on the throne, not embodied in any of these scum ministers.
This idea that a symbol retains a core of its original meaning forever in spite of how it is used by people in following generations and distant cultures is a great fallacy. Symbols, by their nature, take both their literal meaning and their connotations from conventions observed among the population that uses them.
In contemporary America, the word "pack" has completely lost any association it might once have had with Passover. Today people are far more likely to think of the word "fudge."
So Dave Pack no longer falls into the category of Jesus the Pascal Lamb. He belongs with Rick Santorum.
As if we needed more examples of some of the hallmarks of false teachers! This dude has an abundance. Seems like I read somewhere that one of the fruits of the Holy Spirit is humility. Wonder what DP thinks about that?
