Dave Pack: I Hate Stars! It’s outright idolatry for a person to wear a star of any kind

 



Starry-Eyed Dave

 

As if there were not enough for the brethren of The Restored Church of God to fret over already, inept amateur false prophet extraordinaire David C. Pack revealed the hidden evil of stars. No, not the astral bodies populating the universe, but the cartoony icons deceiving you from your refrigerator door.

 

Yes, we have really come to this, folks.

 

During “The Greatest Unending Story! (Part 484)” on December 9, David C. Pack laid the groundwork by reminding everyone just how yucky-poo Christmas is bla-bla-bla. On December 12, during Part 485, he exposed the long-secret dangers of five-pointed and six-pointed stars as symbols for Satan. Why else would anyone put a star atop their Christmas tree? "It's to honor the devil," as Nana and Papa used to say.

 

During Part 486 on December 16, Dave shined the light of knowledge upon the Jewish people, exposing the undeniable fact that they still worship Remphan today. Because he says so. And that is enough for the hireling enablers at Headquarters.

 

It feels like David C. Pack just discovered the Internet and is preaching information nobody else has ever looked up before. Or even put on a website for him to find it in the first place. What he preaches has been there for a long time, but he only recently discovered it. Therefore, it was time for his god to spread more conspiracy theories, now considered doctrine, to the brethren of The Restored Church of God.

 

David C. Pack’s Gallery of Stupid is busting at the seams with this one.

 

Go ahead and laugh. But remember…laughing is just what the devil wants.

“The Greatest Unending Story! (Part 484)” on December 9, 2023, started out normally enough.

 

Part 484 – December 9, 2023

@ 00:00 I don’t usually say the number, but Part 484. We’re nearing the end. But every time I think there’s nothing else we can learn, then we do.

 

He even layered thirteen minutes' worth of more “proof" that Russian President Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin is the Sixth King. Well, until he moonwalks all of this again. Dave never seems to settle on whether to take scissors or glue to his Bible and his notes from the previous week.



@ 04:55 He’s actually rebuilt the Russian economy to be an economy of war.

 

@ 05:21 …he cannot get out of the war. He’d be assassinated if he did.

 

@ 05:54 He the economy that's been built is so big (I wanna say this again, and I know what I'm talking about); it would crash his economy if the war ended suddenly. If he tried to stop it. He would literally never do this and expect to survive.

 

@ 08:06 I mean, he’s a type in many regards of Nebuchadnezzar, who apparently is gonna be a flatterer.

 

@ 08:44 He is a flatterer. He’s also (You know, the Seventh King is called a Little Horn). Putin’s 5’6 ½”. Napoleon was considered a shrimp and he was 5’8”. So, Putin is a very little man. There are things like that that go on and on and on…

 

Dave went on and on for another six minutes as if the more he talked, the more true it became that Vladimir Putin is the Sixth King of Revelation 17. Mark your calendars to see how long this interval lasts.

 

 

Dave enjoyed one of his favorite pastimes for this season: railing on the vile abomination known worldwide as Christmas. This was the first hint of what would come a few days later.

 

@ 1:01:53 In this time a year, that and, of course, they passing the plates and the Salvation Army and trying to get people to give and get in the Christmas Spirit which is utterly demonic and evil. But, people will give more so the pastors who love money can be, you know, buy their second or third home as so many of these the big guys do.

 

It will never be A Very Brady Christmas at the Headquarters Campus, especially now that Christmas is tied to the Star of Remphan.



Part 485 – December 12, 2023

@ 28:53 Remphan has a star, and it's six-sided. It's hexagonal. It is exactly the Star of David that has nothing to do with David. Or sometimes called Solomon’s Seal. It’s six-sided, and it's ancient, and you can go online and see a picture of the god Remphan sitting in the dead middle of what’s in the dead middle of the Israeli flag…but nobody ever looked it up.

 

Nobody ever looked it up except for the 28,000+ search results authors and the websites examining this topic. It is impossible for David C. Pack to speak the truth, even about the most minor matters. Lying is not just what he does. It is who he is.

 

@ 29:29 Saturn is the same god. Think Saturnalia and his hexagonal star, as well. So, whether you call him Chiun or Moloch or Remphan or Saturn or any number of other names, it’s the six-sided hexagon that we’re talking about. Six is the number of man and Satan. And Nebuchadnezzar, by the way. Mr. Armstrong long understood that.

 

The brethren of The Restored Church of God nervously went home on that New Moon and spied the trickster idols adorning their refrigerator door with newly opened eyes.



While researching the Star of Remphan, I found Dave’s sermon notes online. The details brought up during Part 485 are suspiciously similar to this website:

 

Star Of Remphan: Bible meaning Explained Easily (7:43)

 

Taking someone else’s information and calling it your own without citing them as your source is called plagiarism, Dave.

 

@ 30:16 No one ever asked, Why did Stephen get murdered by Jews in reference to a star when [chuckles] no Christian had ever put a star on top of a Christmas tree? In fact, stars on top of Christmas trees are off of this star.

 

@ 31:29 That has nothing to do with Solomon’s Seal. Or the ancient King David. Star of David? That’s an absolute lie about David…would never have done that.

 

@ 31:47 Every Jew who wears that star (millions of them do) are honoring Saturn, Remphan, Moloch, and Chiun.

 

The poor souls in The Restored Church of God had to race home to check every drawer and cabinet in the house to clear away the artifacts of wickedness that had been hiding in plain sight. It was time to conduct a winter-themed deleavening of the kitchen again.



How many graded homework assignments were torn from the walls and burned in the fireplace?



The frantic parents had to write the teacher a stern note explaining their child must refrain from yet another seemingly innocent activity at school. It is satisfactory and preferred that praise be issued verbally without the need to introduce seductive physical elements into their child’s psyche.



 

 

In case you thought you had too much wax in your ears and Dave was not clear enough, Part 486 made his points even sharper.

 

Part 486 – December 16, 2023

@ 01:50 Well, the Jews worship Remphan and Chiun and Saturn and many others using the 6-sided star, which often depicts the devil. But, the devil is also depicted by the…5-pointed star on the back of this coin. So, Christians went with…5-points for the top of their Christmas trees, and so forth. The Jews went for the 6-sided, but it’s all Saturn, Mars, Mercury, Jupiter, Venus, the sun, the moon, and so forth. Now, the brethren have never understood this. They never have.

 

Saturn, Mars, Mercury, Jupiter, and Venus are planets. The moon is classified as a natural satellite. But we should not get bogged down with technical details.

 

@ 03:51 An absolute abomination. So, knowledge is precious.

 

I will let Dave crow for a bit longer before his I-Know-But-I-Really-Don’t legacy is exposed as another perfect failure.

 

@ 07:09 But, these are big things. The Mystery of God would not be understood if you didn’t know about these stars, for instance.

 

@ 1:27:25 It may not go well for a lotta ministers who teach people to wear a Star of Saturn who know they’re lying.

 

Based on Parts 484 and 485, no one in RCG can use this emoji anymore.



How many brethren scrolled through their phones to delete messages that were safe and innocent only ninety minutes ago? If you absentmindedly use a star icon in a group chat, you shall be reported to the local unpaid hireling post haste. RCG has implemented a zero-tolerance policy for serving Satan through innocuous iconography.

 

 

@ 34:45 Nobody knows any of this. But my job is to lay enough verses out that you can't miss it.

 

To correctly see what Dave missed, we need to read what the Bible says after Dave takes too much authority upon himself in 3…2…1…

 

@ 04:09 But this a lot a knowledge we're learning. It’s an absolute blasphemous abomination. It’s outright idolatry (straight up) for a person to wear a star of any kind. Or a cross.

 

It is such a shame this is no longer considered acceptable Sabbath attire in The Restored Church of God, even under your shirt.

 


Wearing a star is a sin, according to David C. Pack, since he alone has the guts to declare it so. One tiny little problem is the Bible disagrees with him. If only David C. Pack was not cursed with the most astonishingly epic piss-poor reading comprehension skills, at least one dart he throws might hit the board.

 

David C. Pack calls wearing stars idolatry. Is that true? The Second Commandment holds the answer.

 

Exodus 20:4-6

You shall not make unto yourself any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that isin the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth: You shall not bow down yourself to them, nor serve them: for I the LORD your God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me; And showing mercy unto thousands of them that love me, and keep my commandments.

 

God is commanding everyone to not worship graven images. Having a plushie dolphin from Sea World on your desk is not idolatry. Licking a stamp is not idolatry. Wearing a hat with the Cleveland Browns logo on it is not idolatry. Storing a photo on your phone of your cat sleeping is not idolatry. (You are safe, Jessica.) None of that is idolatry.

 

Worshipping anything other than the True God in spirit is. Dave equated a star to the cross. Catholics worship before the crucifix. Jews do not worship the Israeli flag. Just like Americans do not worship ours. And nobody worships the star on their T-shirt.



David C. Pack utterly missed the point and botched it spectacularly. Nobody is entering the Lake of Fire for having hearts on their lunchboxes. Owning pajamas with stars on them does not mean parents are earmarking their children to serve the devil when the Man of Sin comes on the scene.

 


The Mark of the Beast is not placing a temporary star stamp on your hand and forehead. According to the Bible, unless you worship or serve your star-shaped cookie-cutter, you are A-Okay.

 

Parents of The Restored Church of God, please tell me you did not raid your house in a panicky, guilt-fueled fit to cleanse stars from your dwellings. Please let us all know that you under-reacted rationally and did not let pressure from a false teacher cause you to scrape the glow-in-the-dark decals off the bedroom ceiling until 3 AM.

 

Look, I am neither a minister nor a spiritual advisor, and I do not possess special knowledge. I am just an unordained non-prophet/non-psychic who owns a copy of eSword. If Exodus 20 did not spell it out for the Nervous Nellies in RCG, look at other verses that align perfectly.

 

Deuteronomy 4:19

And lest you lift up your eyes unto heaven, and when thou see the sun, and the moon, and the stars, even all the host of heaven, should be driven to worship them, and serve them, which the LORD your God has divided unto all nations under the whole heaven.

 

Deuteronomy 17:3

 And has gone and served other gods, and worshipped them, either the sun, or moon, or any of the host of heaven, which I have not commanded.

 

2 Kings 23:5

…them also that burned incense unto Baal, to the sun, and to the moon, and to the planets, and to all the host of heaven.

 

Amos 5:26

But you have borne the tabernacle of your Moloch and Chiun your images, the star of your god, which you made to yourselves.

 

The issue repeated throughout the Bible is worshiping the images. Having a Buddha for a doorstop is not the same as burning incense and praying to it. Do not let David C. Pack’s corrupt mind corrupt yours.

 

 

The Bible warns about serving the sun, moon, and stars and not being dismayed at the signs of heaven. Why is David C. Pack so dismayed at the sun, moon, and stars and serving them by turning them into religious concepts?

 

He is all buggy about when a solar year starts. He is all buggy about inventing a ceremony on the New Moon. He is all buggy about stars being a symbol of Satan. David C. Pack is obsessed with the sun, moon, and stars. Literally.

 

It makes you wonder what spirit drives him. And what that says about the integrity of the hirelings in The Restored Church of God that put up with this with their silent compliance.

 

It is like David C. Pack is stuck in his early teens in his parents' basement, still playing Dungeons & Dragons. But he is the worst Bible & Prophecy Dungeon Master ever. He is totally off-guide, making things up as he goes along. He has constructed a detailed fantasy of nonsense that grows more ludicrous as time passes.

 

Yes, I still think Sacred Names are coming to The Restored Church of God. I could be wrong. Like I was wrong about Dave letting the brethren know all their field ministers have been cut off financially. By the way, they did not even wait until the new year to put that into effect.

 

Brethren need to read their Bibles carefully and hold their hirelings accountable. David C. Pack may get all starry-eyed with this wacky malarkey, but it does not need to make anyone else

  3. He hates stars because he will never be one. You can't be a star if you deal in poo!

  4. I guess any old Beatles fans in the RCG need to throw out all of their Beatles albums as they had a guy named Ringo STARR as their drummer, only if they didn't fire Pete Best. It's safe to keep the Beatles Decca session album since Pete Best played drums on it before Ringo STARR joined the the group. Their early recordings with Tony Sheridan are safe as well since Pete was their drummer at that time and not that pesky Ringo STARR. I guess Ringo Starr's solo albums must go as well. Ringo and his All STARR band will be touring in 2024, so don't bother buying tickets as you would not want to upset the great Davey C Pack. If only Ringo stuck to his birth name Richard Starkey, Oops, there's a star in STARkey, poor Ringo, I'm guessing Dave Pack hates Ringo STARR the most of all the Beatles.

    Merry Christmas everyone. And as Ringo STARR will say, Peace and Love.

  5. Well, Ringo was more fortunate than Chuckie Starr, who was a big deal at Rodney Bingenheimers club on Sunset Strip during the glam era of the late 1970s, or Frank Starr, lead singer of The Four Horsemen, a band mentored by Rick Rubin during the "Pure Rock" era of the late '80s. Both died before their time, Frank having been hit by a drunk driver while riding his motorcycle in Hollywood.

    Dion and the Del Satins had a hit with "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star" after he split with the Belmonts. And let's not forget Sly and the Family Stone who hit big time with "Everybody is a Star".

    Let us not forget the opera "Jesus Christ, Superstar", which Dave probably considers blasphemous if he's even aware (in the shelter of his bubble) that it exists.

    Also, "A Star is Born", original and remake.

    Boy, Dave sure is missing out on some pretty cool things due to his hatred for stars, isn't he?

    Merry Christmas, Dave!

    Oh, and PS. How could I forget Edwin Starr? "Twenty Five Miles", "War", and my personal fave, "Agent Double O Soul!"

  7. … And she followed me through London, through a hundred hotel rooms
    Through a hundred record companies who didn't like my tunes
    And she followed me when, finally, I sold my old guitar
    And she tried to help me understand, I'd never be a star
