Are you a fence sitter? Are you giving your money to various COG's instead of to the only true ministry? FOR SHAME!!!!!!!!!
The Church of God Pharisaical Zealot is having financial issues. Apparently out of 2,000 devotees, the broad majority are fence sitters who will not commit to Pharisaical Zealotry. Many of these lazy Laodicean fence sitters are still in other COG's where they give their money instead of sending it to James Malm. Because of this fence sitting, these COG members are taking too long to
"digest" the glorious message of Zealot Malm. The remain non-committeed because they have foolishly (according to Pharisee Malm) listened to their local pastor where he tells them to drop Malm like a hot potato due to his endless stream of Pharisaical rules and whacked out prophecies.
According to the Chief Pharisee, there is no other man on earth today teaching the truth.The State of This WorkAt the present time this is an internet work with approximately 2,000 families who are widely scattered worldwide. This scattering makes it very difficult to have local congregations; and besides that many are still associating with other assemblies and sort of fence sitting, and taking time to fully digest what I teach, since there are differences between that and what they have been told by these groups.Because of this, many of these folks are still contributing to various organizations and very very few are helping us out. Please remember that a laborer is worthy of his wages and nothing I receive ever goes into the kind of status symbol houses, cars, and planes, or real property and extravagant unnecessary building projects that other organizations wastefully seek.
In other words, when you give your money to the many COG's, your money is supporting error, since James Malm is the ONLY one today who preaches the truth. Everyone else in the entire world lacks ZEAL!Further, I teach the Truth of the Word of God and not the amorphous sophistry of the false traditions of men.Brethren, supporting those teaching error is not preaching the gospel.
Preaching the Gospel is teaching all people to zealously live by every Word of God, and expounding and explaining the Word of God!
Zealot Malm has taken the false traditions of the Pharisees and the Zealots and wrapped it all up in a package that is IMPOSSIBLE for anyone to keep.Preaching the false traditions of men and even claiming that certain men have a right to bind or loose God’s Word: is NOT preaching the Gospel. It is making men sovereign and God subject to their whims! It is the sin of rebellion against the Word of God and it is the sin of seeking to exalt oneself above God like Satan did!
Malm is a liar when he claims he does not seek a following.I am working very hard on doctrinal scriptural studies and my interest is that people make choices based on God’s Word and the facts. I have no interest in gaining a personal following or in convincing anyone to make any choice based on emotion. My interest is in educating people in every Word of God.
The members of the Church of God do NOT need another fool interpreting the Bible for them. They do not need another fool telling them what and how they should believe. Eighty years of hundreds of foolish shepherds in the COG have already done so and James Malm is just one more liar in the quagmire leading people astray.To that end, I am working hard to complete a chapter by chapter line by line commentary/study through the entire Bible – there are still a few Epistles and Job remaining, after which I will be doing some extensive doctrinal studies. I expect to complete these studies by late next year (2018). After that a new phase will begin.
James Malm will NEVER lead a great revival in the Church of God. Zealotry idolatry has no place in the church.While this is ongoing, people are visiting and taking their time to study and digest these things; while the word is spreading as people tell their friends. At the same time, conditions in the various organizations are developing and the above listed world events are gathering pace.
The Pharisaical Zealot claims his "master builder" is using him in a carefully orchestrated plan. When the Zealot never mentions Jesus, one has to wonder just WHO is giving him his "plan." Like many COG "leaders" Malm has a serious aversion to Jesus and anything the inconvenient dude actually tried to exemplify. It disgusts the Pharisee so much that he has to drag out the 613 laws specifically made for the Hebrews as a weapon.In reality I am not trying to start any organizational church at this time, rather I am calling all organizations to a great revival of zeal for godliness. If in due time the organizations continue to reject that call, then brethren will be ready to take well informed decisions.
There will be no mass "repentance" with COG members zealously latching on to Pharisee Malm's words. Just like tens of thousands will never join up with Dave Pack and Gerald Flurry. no one is going to be following Zealot Malm.Everything is being done with the Master Builder inspiring a very carefully organized plan to complete a site full of studies through every Word of God, topped off by deep doctrinal studies, before advancing further; and I expect that this phase of Foundation Building will end and a new phase will begin at at the end of 2018.
This will never happen. Pharisee Malm's end time horror show will never materialize as he depicts it.I am not naive and I do not expect that there will be a mass repentance and a turning to God in 2018. I do believe that a combination of world events and trends in the Ekklesia will being more and more to study sound doctrine. Some of these folks will respond when the time comes, and others will not respond and then will quickly realize that they had made a mistake in not responding before the tribulation began.
This second group will then witness to their remaining brethren who have not studied the sound doctrine of the Word of God, while the others learn to work together and advance even further in their spiritual growth in a different environment.Many of those witnessing to their brethren will be strongly persecuted and will die in the first part of the tribulation, therefore God will convert and seal 12,000 from each tribe of Israel, so that the witnessing that the Eternal is God and that we must live by every Word of God will be maintained.
Even though the Pharisaical Zealot claims he is not starting a "work" he constantly says he is.From their witnessing and the witnessing of God’s Two Servants, along with the miraculous events of the heavenly signs and the resurrection of the dead; Israel will be turned to the Eternal and will rejoice with a mighty rejoicing at the coming of Messiah the Christ.
Zealot Malm pretends to be the greatest living martyr the church has ever seen. Even doubly blessed and almost arrested Bob Thiel cannot compare.What is the part of this work in all of this?It is our part to sow the first seeds of sound doctrine, to restore that which has been lost or forgotten, to reveal that which has been hidden, to expound the New Covenant and to begin the process of preparing the bride for the coming of her LORD!
Zealot Malm claims he is the ONLY man on earth laboring day and night wallowing in the law. Jesus be damned, the law trumps every time.It is for this reason that I have labored day in and day out to establish a body of studies through every Word of God, as a foundation for even more studies into sound doctrine.Many are being turned to a zeal for the righteousness of godliness even now, while many others are being exposed to these things.Later when Jerusalem and Judea are occupied and great trials come upon the tribes of Israel including the Anglo American people, there will be a place that the brethren can go in their extremity, to find the sound doctrine of the Word of God explained and expounded!
So send in your money, grace-rejecting Church of God members, the Zealot needs it. Reject Jesus and everything he stood for and prostitute your self to the law. Please remember to use your PayPal account to do this.My friends, please understand that the importance of this work is not limited to the present number of visitors, or to whether we have local congregations. This is the ONLY work which labors in doctrine day by day through every Word of God and teaches these things.
While I am doing much of the writing you too can have a part in this work through earnest prayers and contributions, and by spreading the word about our sites.Please help me help the brethren – with your US tax deductible contributions at the sidebar PayPal – by presenting the sound doctrine of the Word of God.
The fake news media is all sophistry. Lies, lies, lies. The churches believe a lot more of those lies than they realize.

That is just horrible if it is true that there are 2,000 families who waste their time listening to a rebel like James Malm who left the WCG in 1985 (while HWA was still alive) to try to think for himself. His wife got into sacred names nonsense and he got into calendar confusion. Those who think that rebellion and fiction are exciting could end up getting their lives wasted by a rebel writing prophetic fiction.
Hilarious. Sounds like his 2,000 are kind of like the poor Africans that we've heard about. They are partially in this group, and partially in that one. Getting counted multiple times. Nobody can actually claim them or rely 200% on their loyalties. It's like the old biker motto: "Sworn to fun, loyal to none." Only, in this case, we're talking about ACOG junkies. Hey, everybody, surf's up! Come on a splinter safari with me!

What matters is our relationships. Doctrines divide. They do not build relationships.
ReplyDeleteWho the hell is this "James Malm"...???
ReplyDeleteI was wondering the same thing.
DeleteJames says: "nothing I receive ever goes into the kind of status symbol houses, cars, and planes, or real property and extravagant unnecessary building projects that other organizations wastefully seek. "
ReplyDeleteOf course this is true. He will never attract that kind of money. I suspect his ministry does however provide the basics of shelter, food, clothing and such with Mr. Malm noting that "they who preach the Gospel should receive their living from the Gospel" (I Cor 9:14) I am sure.
James, while we can suspect is sincere in his Church of God learned fanaticism, we must remind ourselves is not trained well in the history, theology, origins and politics of the Old and New Testaments. He is a severe and mere Bible reader and twists and mixes all sorts of concepts and scriptures together in a distasteful and theologically soup typical of the Church mindset with prophecy baloney taking first priority in the recipe. Like all COG leaders, he misses the entire point of New Testament theology or at best gives it a mere lick and promise of note when needed. Thiel does it. Flurry does it and Pack does it.
The core of COG theology is outdated, failed and mistaken notions of prophecy coming alive soon. That "soon" provides the stick and carrot with proof coming from the daily news that keeps their ships afloat even if leaking badly and doomed to sink when the pumps fail.
Dennis,
ReplyDeleteI disagree with your complaint that Malm and others are not trained in 'the history, theology, and politics of the old and new testament.' Yours is the typical arrogant minister position that only the AC trained big people know what the bible really means, and the little people need these seeing eye dogs to understand their bibles.
First the ministers place themselves between man and God, hiding that God leads members directly, and now they place themselves between members and their bibles. This is the greedy, lustful ministers usurping both member and Gods responsibilities.
PS if don't believe that you need a seeing eye dog to understand your bible, you are a 'mere bible reader.' Typical minister smearing.
I see that Dennis has already responded to you, but I will post this anyway. There is never anything in this blog from Dennis to give anyone the impression that he thinks his AC education gives him any special insight into the Bible. I think he thinks that his AC instruction was intellectually dishonest and academically deficient.
Delete"Messiah the Christ."
ReplyDeleteTranslated into English it means
"The anointed the anointed"
Please pass this on to Mr. Malm.

Malm's "Sophistry" is certainly not "Sophisticated" !
ReplyDeleteNobody is attacking these goofy COGs with as much energy as Gary. He is on a crusade!
ReplyDeleteThe core of COG theology is ... mistaken notions of prophecy ... with proof coming from the daily news ...
ReplyDeleteAnd it's all FAKE NEWS at that. Fake prophecy and fake news, what a combo.
America is choking in fake news, fake scholarship (sophistry), fake politics, and fake religion. Everything is fake. There are even people with fake boobs and now, fake penises (transgenders). When will it end? Unless something radical happens, it will get faker and faker.
I suppose it all started when we tolerated fakeness in advertising and politics.
Dont forget fake hips, fake eyes, fake limbs, fake teeth, and fake prudence while you're at it. Along with fake fakes.
DeletePreservation of agendas and legacies lead people to make absolutely laughable assertions, and it's not only Armstrong-infected false prophets doing it!
ReplyDeleteWe've got a Cat-5 hurricane barreling down on the Antilles and Florida, and Rush Limbaugh is proclaiming that the forecasts are fake news advanced as part of a vast conspiracy from the global climate change "theorists" (guess he includes the majority of data-collecting scientists in this). Oh well. No need to argue. It's becoming less and less possible to deny climate change, or to insist that coordinated effort by humankind cannot mitigate this or have a positive impact.

Give to Malm so he can purchase his diabetes medication. Without this medication he will die and not be able to post his nonsense.
ReplyDeleteAnon 204. I am not writing any typical arrogant AC grads only understand the Bible. No AC grad had an approprite theology education. I did not have an appropriate or legitimately based theological education . . Don't put your judgmental BS on me about what I meant or mean. I don't believe in "little people" vs ministers and never did. You assume you know what I am talking about and you didn't get it correct.
ReplyDeleteClimate change is retarded, and anybody with a brain who actually investigates both sides of the issue knows it. But the ditto heads will never quit lying about it--to save the planet you see, and they will never stop misrepresenting what climate "deniers" say, or calling them degrading names that they don't deserve, like "denier" because liberals are into lying and lying big time. The truth means nothing to them, and neither do their ideals, it's all fake. Like fake tolerance. That's only for gays and women and transgenders and minorities, never for men, whites, straight people, or anyone who calls them on their BS. We are in the most repressive society ever. Political correctness gone extreme.
ReplyDeleteIsn't the term "dittoheads" almost a registered trademark for the followers of Rush Limbaugh? Come on! Rush invented that term. Don't ruin it by applying it to the other side.
DeleteHe needs to consider that maybe discerning people aren't contributing and WON'T contribute to HIS "work" because he refuses to treat others in a Godly manner. Nothing he says can be questioned unless one couches it in "worshipful terms" toward him, revealing fruits that leave others seriously doubting the righteousness of that "work".
ReplyDeleteDennis,
ReplyDeleteThe bible is deliberately written to be understood by people with the most basic education. The majority is easily understood. So no 'appropriate theological educated' is required to study and understand our bibles. Everyone, including Malm, is qualified.
I believe I did get it correct.
Yes, God does put the cookies on the bottom shelf so that all his kids can reach them. Where so many have erred is in not reading in context nor reading from the point of view of the original readership. We make a lot of incorrect assumptions.
Delete6.26 PM
ReplyDeleteSo true. As I have mentioned previously, Malm relates to others from a 'top dog' position. He needs to read books on assertiveness.
As an example of his intolerance, he refused my comment which claimed that this Earth with its beautiful waterfalls, vegetation, animals, is more beautiful than heaven. What's 'evil' about that?
It's hardly surprising that he has so few comments.

P.S.: Notice that God is still working with the people of the USA. He is not killing them off--yet. So far, they are just getting all wet like in Houston, Texas.
Oh, I get it! We're the (drum roll) Israelites! And, after 80 years of " "delays" to the false prophecies, somehow, they're soon going to kick in, in spite of the fact that this is only year 5777 (check with the keepers of the oracles). The Germans are going to come and feed on their own (majority dna in the USA is German!) They're going to destroy the spiritual descendents of Paul's Gentile Churches because they never got around to being Jewish Christians! And it's all going to happen because somehow they're not heeding the unavoidable Armstrong gospel that's going out in such power that none of us can avoid hearing it! Somehow, all the people in Houston who got wet know precisely why they got wet, are accountable, yet are still choosing to ignore the sabbath and tithing, so they're going to get diseases and die.
DeleteSorry! I grew up being taught that my cousins would soon be smashed against walls by the Germans, their parents would be enslaved and tortured, and that my school friends would all become gay and lesbian, and be starved and tortured and probably end up cursing God rather than repenting.
Global climate change is a possible alternative apocalypse, not the Armstrong apocalypse. Heck, the anti-intellectuals in all the ACOGs deny that climate change even exists. Their heads are buried in the figurative sands of Armstrongism. These are the people who were expecting the Germans in '72 and were totally shocked when they got the sons of Ishmael on 9-11.
Interesting. HWA died with the most toys and won. He left the building. And, I won, too. I realized in 1975 that he was a liar, and began livibg and enjoying the life he said I would be deprived of. Like all humans, I also had my trials and tribulations, but they were nothing like the stuff I saw the culties go through. The people who continued to believe the lies ended up having no lives, and being ripped off for all their resources. That was and is their tribulation. And it has lasted for much more than 3-1/2 years. They spent decades in a cult-induced tribulation to avoid a non-existent 3-1/2 year tribulation. Reminds me of a child hating turnip greens and chewing them for hours to avoid swallowing them.

Sophistry can also be when one tries to convince others that there is no God because of poor human behavior.

In case you have not noticed, “becoming gay and lesbian,” or at least proudly supporting such things, has become all the rage these days. Check out a book called THE MARKETING OF EVIL: How Radicals, Elitists, and Pseudo=Experts Sell Us Corruption Disguised as Freedom by David Kupelian (256 pages, copyright 2005).
The “being starved and tortured” part could be coming too.

ReplyDeleteThanks, Arno! I've noticed over the past recent years that there is an active effort to forget, revise, and deny the more extreme elements of the church's past history. But it really was that bad. They actually terrified all the young people by showing us holocaust documentaries at SEP and AC in all their raw glory, prefacing the films with remarks that this would be the fate of any who were not part of God's True Church. And, being a member was not enough! That just qualified you to be Laodicean, and to not be spared from the tribulation. You had to be obsessed with and anal retentive about your Armstrongism, never letting down your guard for one split second, lest you fall from Philadelphian status into Laodiceanism!
DeleteBB
O.M.G. Bykerbob!
ReplyDeleteDid Rush Limbaugh really say that the forecasts are 'fake news' advanced as part of a vast conspiracy from the global climate change "theorists" ???
If so, I didn't know he had gotten that bad.
Years ago, I used to listen to him once in awhile, but I quit because his hate speech rants gave me headaches.
I thought that someone was "sound-byting" Rush, 9:31 lifting his remarks from context because the quotes just sounded uncharacteristically desperate on his part! But, Google "Rush Limbaugh, hurricane" and see for yourself what comes up!
DeleteWhat amazes me is that he starts by stating that there has been a dearth of hurricanes for the past 12 years in building towards the major premise which he is about to unleash, apparently oblivious to the fact that climate scientists were citing the abnormal hurricane drought as having been due to the ways in which global climate change has altered the paths and intensities of hurricanes (See article, 9/7 Chicago Tribune, with abundant quotes from prominent scientists).
On the actual youtube video of Rush's lecture, he admits the obvious: that he is neither a climatologist, nor a meteorologist.
Watch the video and tell me if Rush is any less agenda-driven or ridiculous than Bob Thiel, Ron Weinland, James Malm, Dave Pack, or Gerald Flurry. This is the go to guy for the straight scoop that so many people rely upon in formulating their world views and opinions.

I just came across (on another dissident site) a documentary on mind control that's relevant to abusive cults.
ReplyDeleteI had a quick look on YouTube, it looks well made. It's called:
State of mind: the psychology of control (2013)
The majority of data-collecting scientists do not believe in the lie of climate change; just the majority of grant-collecting fake academics and their accomplices in politics and the media.
ReplyDelete1:42 ~> I'm sure you have hard statistics to back up this assertion? Like maybe a list of these scientists, and + or -? Care to share your docs?

Sophistry is everywhere in the ACOGs. Just look at this revealing statement in Rod Meredith's final article in his member magazine.
ReplyDeleteRod Meredith, "How Will We Be Judged?"
Meredith wrote: You shall not kill, and as Jesus magnified it, you’re not even to hate and let an attitude of bitterness and resentment stay in your mind. That attitude could lead you to hurt or potentially even kill another person.
It seems Meredith doesn't understand Christ's magnification of the commandment. Christ says hate is equivalent to murder. Your attitude of hate is no different than an attitude of murder. Taking a different approach, Meredith says hate is dangerous because it may lead to murder.
How did LCG members tolerate Meredith's poor understandings for so long? The more you read his writings, the more it becomes obvious that Meredith was no spiritual giant at all.
