Why Do Armstrongite Legalists Love "Wild Assed Tangents of Bibliotary?"



It has been ages since I was on the WCG Alumni group.  It used to be a lively place with the legalists wielding their KJV /Moffet Bibles against all of us heathens who were no longer sabbath keepers and who ate pork and shrimp.  

They love to throw scriptures and spittle around as proof that Sabbath keeping, clean and unclean meats and holy days are still required.

Checking it out tonight there was a comment with the following quote that the legalistic Armstrongites still refuse to answer to this day:

When exactly is sundown in Heaven?  If you think Jesus is still observing the Sabbath from Heaven, please tell us what time zone He is in? Would that be GMT?  Or EDT?  Or maybe you should set your watch for Jerusalem time?
Your problem is that you believe in the Gospel of Jesus++.  You can't just accept the fact that you don't need to add anything to His salvation at the Cross.  You have to add the O.C. rules of "Touch not, taste not, handle not!" thinking you are earning "legal brownie points" with your Maker.  But He doesn't care about your brownie point scoring system.  Because all your efforts at keeping the law are as filthy rags to Him.

Let that sink in before you decide when your "day" starts and you go off on yet another wild-assed tangent of biblioalatry, dressing yourself in those filthy rags of self righteousness and your idea of sun-up.

Jesus said that His yoke is easy and His burden is light.  You dare not add anything as a Pharisee to that, with all your O.C. laws and self-righteous fly swattings.

I love it!

God Punishes U.S. For LCG's Arrogance



Remember the post in a thread that contained Living Church of God's idiotic statement that God caused the gas prices in the United States to fall so that LCG members could travel to the Feast?

Apparently God is royally pissed at the arrogance of the Living Church of God for making such an idiotic claim that was aimed at setting LCG members apart from the rest of the COG's making them far more special in God's sight.Gas prices skyrocketed here in LA right after Living said what they did. You are your own worst enemy.

Los Angeles Times:  Gas Prices Set Record Pace

Living Church of God's "we are sooooo special" posting:
God blesses Feast of Tabernacles travel.
For the last several years, oil prices have dropped right around the time of the fall Holy Days (fall in the northern hemisphere, that is). This year appears to be the same. Gasoline (petrol) prices have been dropping for the last several weeks now. Monday, oil reached its lowest price since September 2010. It ended trading in New York at $78 per barrel. Experts believe it will stay low to year’s end (Associated Press, October 3, 2011).
Thousands of years ago, God gave His people the command to keep His annual festivals, including the Feast of Tabernacles (see Leviticus 23). These days were to be statutes “forever” and blessings were promised to those who keep them, and the rest of God’s laws (Deuteronomy 14:29).

It is both interesting and encouraging to see a trend in dropping gasoline prices (which some would call “chance”) just prior to the “pilgrim” Feast of Tabernacles–a time when God’s people are commanded to travel to locations where He has chosen to place His name (Deuteronomy 14:22-26). In allowing fuel prices to drop, God is blessing the obedience of His people who are willing to travel to worship Him at this very important time of year.
