It still amazes me to find Armstrongites out there that worship the feet of Herbert Armstrong and who place him on a level that is higher than Jesus. Even worse, it amazes me to find a person who claims we will be FORCED to worship at HWA's feet.
One family, the Kitchen's, have a reputation of bowing down and worshiping HWA as none other in the Church of God ever have. No theological decision or discussion can be made without blabbering on and on about HWA.
Tim has tried to take his message to the
Ambassador Auditorium Facebook page. He basically has been laughed out of the group. He posted a
farewell letter to the members of the group the other day and here are some of the pathetic highlights.
In
this End-Time, almost 1900 years (i9 time cycles) after this Gospel was
first preached by Jesus Christ and His Chosen Apostles, it was preached
again by an Apostle that Christ raised up and opened his mind and began
to teach His (Christ's) Truth! That man that Jesus Christ raised up and
taught, and sent out to this world whit that same Gospel that had not
been preached or taught for 1900 years was Herbert W. Armstrong! No one
else preached or taught that same Gospel that was taught by Christ and
the 1st century Apostle. Mr. Armstrong preached and taught that very
same Gospel to the world as a witness to all nations (Matt 24:14) . That
very same Gospel had not been preached or taught to the world for 1900
years, and no other person has even remotely fulfilled that commission
(Prophesy really) before, or since! The Matt 24:14 commission (Prophesy
really) was not given to anyone else, it was not even given to God's
Church (WCG Under Mr. Armstrong) but, was given to Mr. Armstrong
personally as he was God's Chosen Apostle (Apostle means: "One sent
forth with a message).
Armstrongites such as the Kitchen, are historically and theologically ignorant. They have no concept of church history other than what they have read in a COG publication. They have never studied scripture, the development of the Bible, the use of metaphors and allegory, or anything else that a typical seminary student studies. Yet, they place their theological understanding as higher and mor highly developed than the seminarians.
In order to elevate HWA onto a higher plain next to
Jesus Christ. Kitchen says that the gospel message was NOT the commission of the church, but of HWA himself. Only HE was commissioned to take the Gospel to all the world. Like
Jesus Christ, HWA was the sole mouthpiece for God.
It
is not the Church's responsibility to try to fulfill this commission
"Again" as it was already fulfilled (Completed, finished, over) by God's
Chosen Apostle Mr. Herbert W. Armstrong! And Mr. Armstrong declared it
fulfilled himself!
Anyone
that is trying to "Finish the Matt 24:14 commission is either deceived
into falsely thinking that it was the church's commission and not Mr.
Armstrong's commission, or has denied and rejected God's Chosen Apostle
and Elijah, and, thus, rejected the God that sent him and worked through
him, "Jesus Christ"!
Because the ministers in all the splinter group no longer follow HWA's teachings (according to Kitchen) they are all apostates who will be FORCED by
Jesus Christ to bow down and worship at the feet of HWA. How SICK can these morons get? Bowing down to HWA?
According to Kitchen, Herbert Armstrong was soooooooooooooo saintly that evil could not be found in him.
Notice: Levi (Mr. Armstrong) walked with God and Christ found no evil
in this man( a Stern warning to those that accuse him of these crimes as
Jesus Christ will not take these false accusations lightly!) but,
rather, Jesus Christ finds fault with the ministers under this end-time
Levi...
Herbert Armstrong was such a perfect man that God actually established the final convent with HWA. Forget the New Covenant and Grace that was finalized with
Jesus Christ, the one established with HWA was FAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAR more important!
(it
is the ministers under Mr. Armstrong that corrupted that Covenant that
Jesus Christ made with Mr.Armstrong!, and, that covenant was all the
Truths Restored that combined make up that Covenant between Jesus Christ
and Mr. Armstrong, as "all Things" were restored through Mr. Armstrong
and all those Truths comprise (make up) THAT COVENANT, AND THAT COVENANT
"IS" (MAKES UP) THE NEW TESTAMENT MARRIAGE COVENANT WITH JESUS CHRIST!
SO SAID MR.ARMSTRONG HIMSELF!
Anyone who does not follow Herbert Armstrong's teachings is breaking the Covenant of HWA. Forget
Jesus Christ, it's all about Herb! Reject Herb and you will not be married to
Jesus Christ!
DO
WE SEE HOW IMPORTANT IT IS THAT WE DO NOT TRY TO ALTER IT IN ANYWAY? IT
IS NOT OF MAN Mr. Armstrong) BUT IT IS OF GOD!!! IT IS THE MARRIAGE
CONTRACT WITH JESUS CHRIST, AND, WE (AS THE BRIDE OF CHRIST) WILL NOT
DICTATE THE TERMS OF THE MARRIAGE CONTRACT WIT JESUS CHRIST! IF WE TRY,
WE WON'T BE PART OF THE MARRIAGE WITH JESUS CHRIST!
ANYONE TRYING TO
TEACH YOU ANYTHING DIFFERENT (ANOTHER GOSPEL) THAT CHRIST SENT AND
DELIVERED TGHROUGH HERBERT W. ARMSTRONG IS A FALSE GOSPEL AND FALSE
TEACHER AS WE HAVE BEEN WARNED BY CHRIST HIMSELF THAT IN THIS END-TIME
MANT FALSE APOSTLES, PROPHETS AND TEACHERS WILL COME IN AND DECEIVE THE
ENTIRE WORLD, SO, MUCH IF IT BE POSSIBLE (IF YOU LET YOUR GUARD DOWN,
AND QUIT HOLDING FAST (REV 3;11, i tHES 5:19-22) TO THAT RESTORED TRUTH,
ANY PART OF THE TERMS OF THE MARRIAGE COVENANT (CONTRACT0 BETWEEN
CHRIST AND HID BRIDE) THEN WE WILL NOT BE WALKING IN THE LIGHT OF
cHRIST'S TRUTH, AND, ONCE YOU DO THAT, YOU REJECT THAT ARRIAGE
COVENANT/CONTRACT AND YOU WILL NOT BE MARRIED TO JESUS CHRIST, BUT, WILL
HAVE REJECTED HIM AND HIS TERMS OF MARRIAGE!! THIS IS THAT
SERIOUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This is the kind of crap that has driven hundreds of thousands away from the COG over the decades. This legalistic mumbo-jumbo offers no hope because of a god that is incredibly PISSED and is going to take great delight in blotting most of humanity off the face of the earth.
WE ARE LIFTING UP HERBERT W ARMSTRONG!
HELLS KITCHEN!

Worship HWA for what? Incest???

Tim Kitchen has the writing skills of a circus seal.
ReplyDeleteYou worship the "incestreous image" you have created. It's in your mind. You are focused on that garbage in which the Truth has absolutely no connection to. This article shows how uneducated you can be and still think you're "intellectual". You're a bad tabloid. Focus on truth. Or maybe world events. Stuff like this shows how uneducated and arrogant some can be. It is a wonder how you live out in the real world. Or does "Bob" just stay in his apartment and talk to his goldfish? Baby steps. Take one step at a time toward truth and you'll overcome this mountain of a problem you all have.
