He has assigned the task to the Apostle David C Pack
"WE never understood it until now! We didn't see it!"
"I have never quite seen what God is doing as I have now"
This "simplicity that is in Christ" is complicated Mr Pack...
2 Corinthians 11:3
“But I fear, lest by any means, as the serpent beguiled Eve through his subtilty, so your minds should be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ.”
I would encourage the Restored Church of God ministry gift Dave with a copy of the New Testament before it's too late. It almost is. Perhaps you could read it yourselves?
...because the Apostle Pack is widely known for his speculative, mistaken and delusional "much speaking" and you're going to be looking for honest and meaningful work soon unless you wake Dave up.
It got so I cringed when I heard these phrases and so many others come out of dave's mouth. He has also said that if (fill in the blank) doesn't come to pass, then Scripture is broken and you might as well throw your Bible away. I guess since the Bilbe slows him down anyway, he probably threw his away around 2012!
ReplyDeleteIf Dave sees himself in scripture Acts 26: 24 should apply to him, "Festus said with a loud voice Dave thou art beside thyself much learning does make the mad". Ever learning and never coming to the knowledge of the truth.
ReplyDeleteThe quotation regarding confusion was used (often inappropriately) as an all-purpose reenforcement for authority within Armstrongism. There are examples of God actually utilizing confusion to further His purposes right in the Bible, such as at the Tower of Babel, and in the case of Israel's opponents in battle.
ReplyDeleteFrom the Biblical examples of God using confusion, one can clearly see that if God introduces confusion into the minds of leaders, it indicates that those leaders are working at cross-purpose to God. It provides a way for us to discern whether God is working through someone claiming to be His messenger. When we see dozens of revisions to definite dogmatic (actually the revisions are so confusing that they should probably be called catmatic, or maybe even snakematic!) and specific prophecies, it is a phenomenon that virtually defines confusion, and should warn even the dimmest of light bulbs. But, humans being what they are, it often does not!
On a scale of 1-100, the importance of a prophecy regarding the return of Jesus Christ actually exceeds measurement. A messenger who has been issuing grand and specific wrong pronouncements on this for years obviously does not know his anus from a meteor crater, and should have been repudiated and discarded the first time he got it wrong. Dave has often said that members of splinter groups who tithe to their own groups are paying them to the wrong entity, and still owe them to him. I personally believe that tithes should not be paid into any Armstrong-based group, but they especially should not go to a leader whom God is so obviously confusing.
But I fear, lest by any means, as the serpent beguiled Eve through his subtlety, so your minds should be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ.

Amen, amen and amen to the above, Nomorewackypack, Anon @ 8:50 and Anon @ 9:34. Well said.
ReplyDeleteI would love to know if Pack is aware of the most recent writings of Marc, Dennis et al., and the comments about their articles. It's one thing to hear about it second hand, but if he actually came to Banned or Marc's great new website and read it himself...that's a horse of a different stripe. If you are reading this Dave, I do not mean the four horsemen of Revelation, so don't get anymore insane ideas. You have had more than your fair share already. Actually, you have had more insane ideas than than the populace of entire countries. Please stop and get some psychiatric help.

ReplyDeleteMY COMMENT - I wonder the same thing! While we all know almost arrested doubly blessed little Bobby Thiel trolls this website often (he's so vain, he probably thinks my comment is about him), I am not so sure Pack does. Does anyone know for sure?
This is why I wrote the following comment directed to Dennis on August 2 regarding his recent open letter to David C. Pack Post:
Lake of Fire Church of God said...
Dennis,
Well written and excellent letter! May I suggest you transmit your open letter the old fashion way? Print it out and mail it to Dave Pack by Certified Mail. Put a little sticky note on the letter that you have published this open letter on Banned By HWA (website).
