The Kitchen clan gets more theological bankrupt every day. These guys bow at the feet of Herbert Armstrong's statue every day in worshipful adoration.
If we do not keep the True Gospel message, the message sent by God the Father who sent it through His Son, Jesus Christ, who in turn sent it through His Apostles, in our time Apostle(Herbert W Armstrong), if we do NOT keep that message in our mind, as a memory, in remembrance, remembering it continually, then we believed in VAIN. And if we believed in VAIN, are we then CONVERTED? BELIEVING is a VITAL PART of Conversion! This is Jesus Christ saying it, read those verses AGAIN.So the you have it. If you do not believe in Herb and his word you are worshipping in vain. Jesus be damned, Herb's the man!
Jesus Christ through the Apostle Paul says we are "being SAVED", that is, IF... IF WE keep in MEMORY that TRUE GOSPEL MESSAGE preached by the APOSTLE! If we don't we have believed in vain. Just like what Christ said in Mat 15:9 But in vain they do worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men.Your focus MUST be upon Herb. Any failure to follow ANYTHING Herb said is an immediate road trip to Petra where you will have to live with Bob Thiel and listen to him preach for 3 1/2 years.
If you don't keep your focus on God and His Son and the Apostle sent, if we don't keep to what God has given us via the Apostle, we only do it BECAUSE men commanded it. See, you'll only see the man. And many today only see the man, which is why many turn against God and God's Truth and Gospel to ANOTHER gospel via someone else, to whom they have chosen. Not God's Chosen. We must CATCH THE VISION, keeping the right FOCUS on things as God sees it!We now have 700 different versions of Herb's "truth."
Why not OBEY GOD, and HOLD FAST to what we were given through the Apostle.All Herb, all the time.
The Who had a song about this line of thinking. The title of the song is "Substitute".
ReplyDeleteThe Kitchens, and to be fair, others, fall into the familiar delusion of making HWA into an ersatz Jesus. News Flash, herbal acolytes: HWA did not die for your sins! He won't appear next to you as your defense attorney on judgment day! Substituting accountability to HWA rather than Jesus opens the door to all of Herbie's mistakes and sins. And, there you have the reason why it will not work. Accountability mandates whom a Christian must follow, and it ain't mistake-riddled Herb!

Old Timmy, if Herbert told you to drop to your knees and service him, would you?
ReplyDeleteLet the Scriptures speak for themselves, and let them determine what we are to do.
ReplyDelete1 Corinthians 14: 37 - "If any man think himself to be a prophet, or spiritual, let him acknowledge that the things that I write unto you are the commandments of the Lord."
Acts 2:42 And they continued stedfastly in the apostles' doctrine and fellowship, and in breaking of bread, and in prayers.
2 Tim 3:14 But continue thou in the things which thou hast learned and hast been assured of, knowing of whom thou hast learned them;
Matt 10: 14 And whosoever shall not receive you, nor hear your words, when ye depart out of that house or city, shake off the dust of your feet.
15 Verily I say unto you, It shall be more tolerable for the land of Sodom and Gomorrha in the day of judgment, than for that city.
40 He that receiveth you receiveth me, and he that receiveth me receiveth him that sent me.
41 He that receiveth a prophet in the name of a prophet shall receive a prophet's reward; and he that receiveth a righteous man in the name of a righteous man shall receive a righteous man's reward.
42 And whosoever shall give to drink unto one of these little ones a cup of cold water only in the name of a disciple, verily I say unto you, he shall in no wise lose his reward.
John 15:18 If the world hate you, ye know that it hated me before it hated you.
John 13: 20 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that receiveth whomsoever I send receiveth me; and he that receiveth me receiveth him that sent me.
Hebrews 2: 1 Therefore we ought to give the more earnest heed to the things which we have heard, lest at any time we should let them slip.
Dan 12: 10 Many shall be purified, and made white, and tried; but the wicked shall do wickedly: and none of the wicked shall understand; but the wise shall understand
We choose to stand on the holy scriptures, not on mockers and hecklers. Where do you stand?
You are not a Christian Timmy, so why are you quoting scripture? Even the devil knows scripture. Now if you had quoted III Herb 6:66 I might have believed you. I would buy some chap stick considering how much you kiss Herbert's moldy ass.
ReplyDeleteHeh, the Kitchens always take the bait.
ReplyDeleteThe guy holding the spaghetti monster looks like Joe Costantino...(TV dept.)
ReplyDeleteI always thought the other guy in the photo was Larry Gott, HWA's grandson - but I could be wrong.
ReplyDeleteIt's curious that anyone could expect anyone to pay any attention to them quoting Scripture when we've just shown that there was no Exodus, most of the epistles were forged and the gospels were written by people who could have never have even met Christ. Not at all believable. And then to use them to support Herbert Armstrong who wasn't even converted and never bothered to obey Scripture anyway... well, there's not much to go on.

ReplyDeleteYou left out that Herb continually said that 'government is everything.' This means that the talents that Christ gives to every Christian in the parable of the talents, is the rightful property of the ministers. The exercise of these talents is life itself, and the means of members qualifying for the kingdom. So Herb instructed his ministers to rob members of their human and eternal lives, while telling members to not resist.
If that doesn't qualify for monster status, then what does???
Not even Hitler or Stalin or Mao etc robbed people of their eternal lives.
Tim thinks it is ok for ministers to steal tithe money because he uses the same excuse when he steals copyrighted articles and videos that he does not own. He has no ethics and also could care less about the 10 commandments either. If he had any ethics he woould ask GCI for permission to print, but he prefers to steal.

ReplyDeleteYou also left out how Herb sneakily taught Marxism's 'from each according to his ability, to each according to his need' with his 'give way.' Why he even modelled his church on Chairman Maos Chinese communism, by having all the men wear dark blue suites with neo military haircuts. They were endless group activities, with individual initiative and personal interests a no no.
Please tell the truth about this man rather than painting the wrong picture by cheery picking facts.
Oh no, not the talents AGAIN...
ReplyDeleteDid someone say we were going to play the Talent Game? Yea!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteThat photo is creepy.
