Exposing the underbelly of Armstrongism in all of its wacky glory! Nothing you read here is made up. What you read here is the up to date face of Herbert W Armstrong's legacy. It's the gritty and dirty behind the scenes look at Armstrongism as you have never seen it before!
With all the new crazy self-appointed Chief Overseers, Apostles, Prophets, Pharisees, legalists, and outright liars leading various Churches of God today, it is important to hold these agents of deception accountable.
Herbert Armstrong's Tangled Web of Corrupt Leaders
Every scripture in the New Testament about the Second Coming of Jesus was spoken to the audience of that day. The 'shortly', "soon" and "quickly" of the texts was for them and then. None of it was meant for the far future. It was sincere and it was mistaken. Using the scriptures as if they are talking to us or any other generation to come will always end in the same way.
The brilliance of the New Testament is its being the eternal carrot that keep people focused, not on the present, but on the future, just around the corner and just over the hill if they only believe.
PS
2 Peter 3:3-4
" Most importantly, I want to remind you that in the last days scoffers will come, mocking the truth and following their own desires.
They will say, “Where is this ‘coming’ he promised? Ever since our ancestors died, everything goes on as it has since the beginning of creation.”
...is not scoffing. It is a simple observation of those days and all days since over the past 2000 years. Yet the author blames the one who notices the reality and then says that they are "willingly ignornant" , which they are not.
It would be better if those so inclined just said, "You know what? you are right. This shortly, soon and quickly stuff is going long, late and slow. Maybe we should come up with a plan B", which most mainstream, non-literalists denominations have done to this day.
If there was ever a "Dangler of the Eternal Carrot" it is David C Pack
