COG Bullshit Meter Is Bouncing Away Over Latest COG Split



Below is a quote from the Preaching the Gospel blog concerning the split of the Church of God Father's Call which split from David Hulme's personality cult in December 2013.

Since when has the majority of ministers in the Church of God "glorified" God's name?  They cant even talk about the guy they claim to follow let alone discuss what he accomplished.  Its all about  the law and British Israelism.  The rest of humanity be damned as long as the U.S., England and Canada are preached to.  Its no wonder that ever single one of the COG's are now "do nothing" churches.  None of them have any impact despite imitating HWA per-1986.



But if those who are on fire for the gospel separate and form a new group, or go with Living Church of God which is already preaching the gospel effectively, they will start to preach the gospel, not to please men and hold on to their tithes, but to glorify God's name and to show their love and compassion for the American, Canadian, and British peoples. And then, if they start their own group, they will start small, because all things must start small, but they will not remain small. The work of preaching the gospel may grow and grow as it never did with Mr. Hulme and as it never will with those COGFC leaders who made the decision in the beginning of the year to postpone preaching the gospel indefinitely. And if they go with LCG, they will be joining a work that is already preaching the gospel more effectively than any other major Church of God organization.

  1. We all must remember that the COG considers those outside the British Israel cult teaching to be not worthy of God's love at this time. They are human excrement in the grand scheme of things. Only the white Anglo Saxons and their progeny are to inherit God's blessings.

  2. There are no lost tribes of Israel.

    Tribes of the Cult of Herbert Armstrong are another matter with 700+ lost.

    This is the opposite of emergence where the whole is much less than the sum of its parts.

    Typical of guys: The tribes of the cult got lost because they refused to stop and ask directions.

  3. What strikes me is that several years ago, Bob Thiel would most likely have written these exact same words.

  4. "But if those who are on fire for the gospel separate and form a new group, or go with Living Church of God which is already preaching the gospel effectively, they will start to preach the gospel, not to please men and hold on to their tithes, but to glorify God's name..."

    ...Because I am omniscient, and know that anybody who splinters off to form another group, or join up with St. Roderick, must be doing it with the most holy and pure of intentions...yeah right...


    "And then, if they start their own group, they will start small, because all things must start small, but they will not remain small..."

    Yawn. More HWA cliches. Do these guys do anything but mentally cut and paste HWA phrases in their head? Have they ever put together one sentence in their lives without the assistance of a pedophile? And you better believe they won't stay small. They will get even smaller until they cease to exist. Anything else is just wishful thinking that's totally out of line with all the COG trends.

    "And if they go with LCG, they will be joining a work that is already preaching the gospel more effectively than any other major Church of God organization."

    OMG! What's with the beatification of St. Roderick? If LCG is the pinnacle of COG gospel-preaching, then that's damning all the COGs with faint praise.

    I've been to that site and posting comments on this site is virtually identical to what James Malm does with comments on his blog (does not allow them to be visible), but putting that aside, my question is this:

    If this author really believes what he wrote, quote above, then why doesn't he just shut his own blog down and go join the living group.

    Of course, another question might be: where is the proof that God is using the living group (or the PTG author's group) for doing anything that is in harmony with God's will.

    Why is it that James Malm and this author are so confident that God is doing anything with either of them? What if God is really working elsewhere, unbeknownst to either of them?

    No wonder that that meter is bouncing like it is.......
