Apostate apostle Malm is hyperventilating today about a couple of sermons that happened in UCG this past weekend. There were fainting pastors, lots of Jesus love, and teaching on how the UCG is correcting the many errors of HWA and the past. You can hear the sermons here: http://cincinnati-east.ucg.org/
These two sermons were so horrific that they are reminiscent of Joe Tkach's Christmas Ever sermon.
This is a Tkach moment; a veritable bombshell sermon, which I will be covering in depth along with other UCG writings; and yes you can download these two sermons. Please do download and keep them for a personal record of the day the apostasy came out of the closet.
These sermons were also so painful for the preachers that one even fainted afterwards and had to be hauled off to the hospital:
The pressure on Eddington was trememdous as he tried to craft this in such a way that they would not lose the large numbers they did when they did it in WCG.
The apostate apostle has been on a holy terror against UCG since before the break up with COGWA. He has been having fits that UCG is placing more emphasis on Jesus, grace and love, than on James sackcloth, ashes, chest beating, flagellation and law keeping. Even if you are not religious, I have a feeling you know which group you would be attracted to!
UCG has been trying to move away from the legalistic bull that continues to whore it's self out in various Armstrongite splinter cults. After 70 some years of lists, rules, regulations, legalistic do's and dont's, they realize that the membership of the COG does not have a personal relationship with the person they claim to follow. If you asked the typical church member to name the laws of the Hebrew scriptures they can rattle them off for the next fifteen minutes. But ask them to talk about Jesus and there suddenly is deafening silence. What they might mention about Jesus tends to be tied to beatings, torture and death on a cross. Jesus had to die because everyone is a dirty, rotten, filthy scumbag, and are worthless pieces of human garbage.
Because of Armstrongism's absurd understanding on grace and love, the splinter cults spit and snarl at the mention of grace as if it was a four letter word. To Malm and the rest of the legalistic pimps, it means nothing more than a license to sin. Then, add the stupidity of apostate apostle Malm and his legalistic bastardization of the law and you quickly see there is no redeeming hope left.
Malm writes:
These folks have been working long and hard to reset the focus and attitude in UCG away from grace being forgiveness to repentant keepers of the law; and towards a grace covers all and Jesus want us to be united with each other in love.
They are perverting grace into a license to tolerate sin; and perverting unity with the Father thorugh internalizing his very nature by the keeping of his commandments, into a unity with each other through loving, patient gentle, understanding andtolerance of sin; as the prophets have foretold.
I have been trying to warn for the past year.
According to apostate apostle Malm the UCG is turning it's back on the law and moving towards grace and that filthy four letter word, love. Imagine, if you possibly can, a Church of God filled with grace and love! I know! It's hard to do!
Here is what has ticked of the apostate apostle:
UCG NEWS: The broadcast UCG sermons yesterday were shockers and I will be dissecting them as part of this weeks series on the doctrinal changes in UCG.
Bill Eddington was obviously extremely nervous and stressed as he tried to put the new UCG over on the brethren; and he collapsed and fainted right after the sermon and was rushed to hospital by ambulance.
His sermon was a much more subtle “Dec 94 Tkach declaration” that doctrine was indeed being changed.
He clearly stated that they were reassessing the past teachings and correcting the mistaken teachings of the HWA WCG. And he openly admitted that they had already succeeded in changing the spirit and attitude in UCG over the past twelve months. I have been warning of this all the while.
That change of attitude and focus was the preparation phase for the new teachings.
If this is all true I am sure there is going to be great fodder to write about and quote over the next week or so. If UCG really is changing away from law to grace then I say more power to them! Time will tell as to what they actually do, grace and love certainly trump Malm's bastardized law keeping any day!

Love? Grace? Compassion!????? Hmmmm....maybe UCG would take me back?
probably not.
I wish Mr. Eddington a good recovery. It is stressful being honest in a COG and with so many zealous members, probably cruel to have had him give this message. Why did not the grand poopa types give this message? Maybe they already fainted before the sermon?

Malm is nuts. The sermon was quite normal and refreshing to hear "mistakes have been made." Joe Tkach Jr. would choke on those words. Mr. Eddington did not sound stressed at all. I hope he is well soon if indeed he did faint after.
I just finished listening to the one given by Eddington, but there was not anything abnormal.
Just a basic sermon...nothing more.

I suspect that UCG really is migrating toward Grace Communion, at about the same rate Tkach migrated. I'd give them about another six or seven years before they arrive at about where they want to be. At some point there might come a watershed event, or maybe it already happened in 2010. This sermon was certainly not a watershed sermon. Nothing abnormal here.
Joseph W. Tkach Sr. tried to make it sound like the WCG under HWA was so harsh and cruel, but that it was becoming full of "love" under his own rule.
While Joseph W. Tkach Sr. sounded nice, the people I knew in the WCG were actually behaving worse than ever under his rule and teachings. They showed no "love" at all, only pure evil.
As for the UCG, it was full of evil, from the top down to the bottom, over a decade ago. Evil people lying like Satan and doing senseless evil to each other all the time is NOT "love."
Unless the Great Tribulation cuts short the UCG's degeneration, it probably will go back into the world just like the WCG did. Many UCG people that I knew were already godless over a decade ago.
I listened to the sermon too. To me it sounded like a "rally round the flag boys" type talk.
Even though he said "mistakes were made", I didn't hear what they were, who owned them, who was hurt by them, or any kind of penitence over them. This wasn't even touched on generically.
It seemed to me that people were exhorted to stick with us boys and we'll see you over the top and into the kingdom.
Regarding the previous comment about people in WCG behaving worse under Tkach Sr. I puzzled over this for a while and finally understood that the reason was because people under collective control may behave a certain way but they don't tend to develop individual control to self regulate when the collective control is gone.
Children need to have a certain level of freedom to test and explore if they are to truly become fully functional adults. This sometimes mean that they will act out and maybe get hurt in the process. (I'm not talking extremes here before someone takes it to the nth degree regarding sex drugs and rock n roll)
If they are micromanaged they don't develop the skills they need in the adult world just conformity to requirements. When the requirements are lifted they have no choice but to fall back to their level of development and hopefully begin the maturing process or find another milieu that provides them with the same "safe" sense of control.
The fact that so many people acted out after Tkach Sr's lifting of requirements only proves that Armstrongism didn't work to form a mature stable community.
A lot of WCG people seem to have just kept their personal vices secret under Herbert W. Armstrong rather than ever really truly repenting of them. The sin went on, but more discreetly.
Under Joseph W. Tkach, Sr. a lot of WCG people seemed to think it was now safe to "come out of the closet."
Foolish old men from the casino thought that gambling was now acceptable. With God's law against covetousness done away, there was nothing standing in their way.
Wicked women who grew up in the WCG thought that lying and slandering and causing division in the WCG was now acceptable. With God's law against giving false witness against others done away, there was nothing standing in their way.
Business men thought that cheating and swindling others in the church was now acceptable. With God's law against theft done away, there was nothing standing in their way.
Fornicators and date-rapists thought that sexual immorality were now acceptable. With God's law against adultery done away, there was nothing standing in their way.
Joseph W. Tkach, Sr. seemed to get his idea of what "love" was from some pot-smoking, fornicating hippie from the 1960's.
"Ministers" who had collected a paycheck from the WCG for decades now felt free to admit that they had disagreed with the WCG's teachings long ago. They had stuck around for the power and the money and the money and the money (Repetition used for effect. Not a misprint. Not an exaggeration!).
