The lies ,half truth, and deceit is amazing. The truth has not been told. The man he is protecting is HIS Golden BOY. He can not to anything wrong ,and if you don't agree with Jon and his lies you are put out. Jon keeps saying the woman stole the children but the truth is the husband kidnapped his own kids and hid them at his mothers in another state and the police had to go get them back. But Jon keeps telling these lies.<br />Jon received sealed records illegally from the husband so Jon knows what the husband is being accused of. And he comes out in his sermons and it is all about him (Jon) and how HE is being persecuted and yet HE is the persecutor of this woman and her family. The husband is still not paying child support, when he was told to way back when. The husband was told to give his wife her things so what he does is throw everything out in rain to destroy it. WHO REALLY HAS THE DEMON HERE? There is much more that I could say. Now you can get a divorce over your finances, why did we sit through 3 months of divorce and remarriage sermons and now he has admitted he told his GOLDEN BOY TO GET A DIVORCE BECAUSE OF MONEY AND IT WAS THE HUSBAND WHO STOLE ALL THE MONEY.

Armstrong did. No wonder some of his parishioners call him "Pope Jon". I listened to his 'makeup sermon'a couple of weeks back, online, he uses 3 scriptures that do not reference whores, or prostitutes in any way, yet he tries to tell the sheeple that the Bible condemns makeup because you are trying to be a whore! Amazingly, many of those sheeple believe him (& believe IN him, as if he were Jesus Christ, Himself) and Armstrong without any Biblical proof whatsoever. <br /><b>Question!:Doesn't 2nd Peter 1:20 say "Knowing this first, that no prophecy (interpretation) of the scripture is of any private interpretation.;" <br />Question!: and also, Paul said, in 2 Tim 3:16 "All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:"</b><br />In other words, from what Paul's words clearly say, "Doctrine comes from the scriptures, NOT from the minds of men!" <br />So that states, very positively, that Brisby's and Armstrong's "Doctrine" concerning makeup, (and many others) are just that - they are made up .....(by a Man!). But then, they obviously don't honor Christ's admonishment - "Matt 15;9 But in vain they do worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men."<br />"Mark 7:7 Howbeit in vain do they worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men."<br /><br /> Whatever happened to Armstrong's opening statement on the old 1960's "The World Tomorrow" radio program? He was fond of saying, "Don't believe me, believe your Bible!" I guess that changed when they became members of "his" church .... I know it did when I became a member, we were told that the ministry had all the education and Bible knowledge, and we should listen to them and study the Bible Correspondence Course to learn what the Bible says (which avoided anything that Herby didn't agree with) .... until I started to read my Bible. (In other words. You are too uneducated and ignorant to 'truly' understand, let us tell you what those scriptures 'really' mean!). And according to one of his latest sermons online; 'Pope Jon' now says "reading the Bible too much will make you crazy," and also "you'll be heading for the lake of fire, Gehenna Fire!" Look up and listen to some of his sermons on line for these statements! This guy is a power-mad, authoritarian, money-hungry cult-leader, no doubt! These cults are fear-driven, the more they put you in fear of losing your salvation, going to hell, losing eternal life, being out of God's favor, etc. the more thy have you hooked. And I attended 'his church' for a while - and I'm very glad I got out before Christ returns! whatever you do. listen to his sermons online, He's like a snake, or a Used-Car salesman, he said in one of his sermons (online), that he could convince you of the opposite of truth, and I believe that it's possible if you're not aware. he's very good at what he does, very charismatic, and he can convince you if you don't watch yourself very closely!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-226103369043606765.post-37378558136345478582018-04-17T14:49:09.951-07:002018-04-17T14:49:09.951-07:005:53AM nailed it.

God didn't give men business suits, ties, or wing-tip dress shoes. He did give them beards to distinguish them from women. Many fashion styles are culturally driven and changeable, but human biology is a direct gift from God. If the command to men is, "Don't make yourself look like a woman" then that command had better come from a man wearing a beard.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-226103369043606765.post-8879162711610617402018-04-17T12:17:40.607-07:002018-04-17T12:17:40.607-07:00As crazy as this sounds short, sharp hairstyles on...As crazy as this sounds short, sharp hairstyles on women are actually favoured by some of the elite within COG orgs.

And, they are especially intimidated by and combative towards alpha females. These ministers don’t want to see church members in the real world, like at the supermarket, looking like they could mop up the floor with their asses. It’s not enough that the members must look all submissive at church, they want you to look that way if they happen to see you when you are in the general public as well. Not only do they not want you to wear your black or red dress shirts to sabbath services, they don’t want to see you in your anti-victim attire at the movies or bowling alley with your wife. <br /><br />Oh, and if your minister pulls up next to you at a traffic light, and you are on your way home from your construction job, you’d better be listening to Beethoven instead of Blake Shelton or Alan Jackson! You see, successful ACOG membership is all about being a submissive. Even in their own apparent dominance, the ministers are leading you in the ways of submissiveness to the antiquated and irrelevant ideas of HWA. If you are an RCG or PCG member, sorry to have to break this to you, but your fearless leader? He’s not your spiritual guide. He’s the guy who has made you his bitch. And you let him get away with it, without making any attempts to question his authority or to level him.

If John then changed into a nice white robe of sorts and baptized Jesus, it must have been done from the heart, and not for appearance sake right? <br /><br />Since the death of Raymond Cole in 2001, this organization has progressively gotten worse with its doctrines. Although seemingly continuing to hold onto the Holy Days they have kept from 1974 to present, many other things have been twisted and altered, added to and subtracted from. A comparison of material will plainly show any current lay member attending there, that "one Jot or one tittle" and more has changed. By the words of the Apostle Paul, that is all that is needed to biblically depart. Not depart from what each individual was called into and came to wholeheartedly believe, but it gives them the authority to depart from the organization if it does not completely dovetail with that which the Word of God says. Fear of a man is the overriding factor in this group and many others. Remember, God has not given us a spirit of fear, and he has made each and everyone responsible for their own calling. No excuse in bending to coercion from a minister or lay member in the end will hold weight with our judge. Make no mistake, that is what these two letters along with many others over the years is, cocercion. Interestingly enough, they go against and absolutely crush into pieces their fundamental #22 (which they call doctrine). Read it and see if it doesn't.<br /><br />The Word of God is the standard, they should know that. It is every Christians duty and responsibility to their calling to stay alert. Let no man lead you astray.<br /><br />Remember the words of God when admonishing Peter for wanting to build a tabernacle to men: <br />"This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased; hear ye him".<br /><br /><br /><br /> Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
