Apostle Malm: When UCG Preaches "Grace" They Are Preaching Doctrines of Demons



Apostle Malm is so hung up on keeping the law that he goes into fits at the mention of "grace."  He gets particularly incensed about grace when it comes to United Church of God.  He feels UCG is embracing "love" over the law.  How dare they teach grace above keeping all 613 laws!  Evil gracites!

I am talking about the great apostasy already accomplished in creating an  attitude willing to reject parts of the scriptures  or twist them, to justify personal organizational traditions.  I am talking about the open apostasy of UCG from Law is love;  into the false teaching of demons that Grace diminishes the practical observation of the law.

These are all doctrines of demons and part of teh great falling away from zeal fpor God and his commandments; from any kind of zeal for internalizing the nature of God and becoming like God.

    Even if James Malm did read the New Testament he does not believe all that it says...and what is wrong with love? Isn't God love?

    Most of the apostle Paul's books exhort us to thank God for things like peace and grace! What is wrong with grace?

    James Malm, who sins and transgresses God's law daily (who but Christ could perfectly keep God's law anyway?) will die, like the rest of us. It's already been appointed to happen once.

    Why can't James Malm see God's grace in the following verse?

    "To wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation." 2 Corinthians 5:19

    He is spiritually blind, and because he is blind he cannot believe that verse anymore than he can believe the following verse:

    "For there are certain men crept in unawares, who were before of old ordained to this condemnation, ungodly men, turning the grace of our God into lasciviousness, and denying the only Lord God, and our Lord Jesus Christ." Jude 1:4

    Little does James Malm realize it, but he is turning grace into "something else!" And because he cannot appreciate that grace of God he is denying both God the Father and His Son. James does not understand how grace comes by way of that Passover Lamb and not by law-keeping, commandment-keeping.

    James thinks he is "doing it," that we all can "do it," but we can't! That's the biggest lesson we learned from ancient physical Israel who also said: "We will do it!"

    James Malm, if you read this: you deny both the Father and Son. If you think you are going to "do it" and impress God...and you really could do it, then we don't need a Passover Lamb; do we?

    Think about it! And stop denying both Father and Son! God has not imposed/inflicted his law upon this world, so why do you strive to do that to us? God doesn't.

    True sealed Firstfruits, by God's Spirit, strive to keep God's law, as a way of life, but none of us can perfectly do it (because of such things as: I John 3:8; James 4:5; Eph 2:2; Romans 8:20, etc. Duh!) like you are claiming you/we can do such a thing.

    Get the big Chain-saw out and remove that huge Red Wood tree from your own eyes first...b/c if you don't you will keep striving to smack all of the rest of us as you move your head around...kind of like giving us a spanking...

    Think about it...

  3. I did a 6-week, thorough analysis of every post that Malm made about UCG. I found myself saying over and over, hundreds of times, "Where is the evidence? Where is the proof? How does Malm know this?" I went to every sermon he referenced, every article -- nothing. He never quoted anyone or gave a specific reference of any kind. I finally realized that he has no proof, no evidence, and that his rantings against UCG are not based on facts.

  4. Sorry, Anon, thorough research only counts if it's done in the Portland Public Library, and six weeks isn't nearly enough. It requires six MONTHS, you oughta know that.

    However, it doesn't take that long to expose the holes in UCG teachings, so you're forgiven for that little slip.
