The Apostle on Arab Wars, Dead Popes and Unapologetic Preaching

Apostle Malm has been on a roll lately talking about the love of Jesus and how grace is available freely to all predicting that a coming war between the West and the Arab nations will end in a bitter defeat of Muslims.  A period of peace will be declared with peace around Jerusalem.  The Pope will then die and the Antichrist Pope will emerge and start the destruction of Israel, Great Britain, United States and other "Israelite" nations.

He seems to be giddy with glee at the prospect.  As well he should, be since he thinks he is the ONLY true voice in the wilderness proclaiming such a message.  His words are so powerful and God inspired that 18 million people have been warned by his prophetic web site last year alone! He intends to use his site to preach his message to the world about the coming end time events and how people should be prostituting themselves to the law instead of God.

At some point after this conflict, this Pope is likely to die. While there is really nothing keeping him from being empowered as the final false prophet at the appointed time, his advanced age and frailty seem to mitigate against that happening.

Building interest throughout this coming conflict, followed by the death of a Pope; would be a tremendous opportunity to preach “The Gospel of Warning, Repentance and Deliverance” [the Kingdom] to this world. I am not making a prediction that this Pope will die soon, but it is a reasonable conclusion that frail old men do pass on from this physical life.  I intend to be ready to use these events to preach the True Gospel with all the strength that God provides.

Oops, Apostle Malm realized he was about to make a fool of himself and then qualified his Pope prediction to a natural timely death.  That's really prophetic!

The Apostle  warns that he will soon become more powerful.  He will spare no one, but will preach his message forcefully to the world.

There will be NO COMPROMISING with me!  I will be as up front and straight out as I have been in regards to anything else.  Straight Talk and Crying Out with Strength will be the watch word.  Interest in events, as the economy suffers and war causes distress; will be used to “Tell it Like It Is!”  from the Word of God!  If this Pope should pass on, that shall also be used to provide a solid Warning and Witness!  When the final false prophet [the abomination] is set up, I shall NOT shrink back at all; no not for a moment!

I have no intention of dumbing down or compromising with the Word of Almighty God!  Quite the contrary, I shall become stronger and stronger; and clearer and clearer; as we see the day approaching

Ho hum...........I've been hearing that silliness for over 45 years.

Looking For That Perfect Feast Gift For Your Legalist Friends?

The Feast of Tabernacles is rapidly approaching and parents and family members are scrambling to buy gifts.

Do you have a legalist friend who is constantly preaching to you on how you are backsliding laodicean sinner because you have rejected Herb's teachings?

Are you sick of hearing how prefect they are in keeping ALL the law?  Since we all know that there is not a single Armstrongite out there that keeps the law in it's entirety, you can now drive that point home with this unique gift!

Buy your friends a Feces Paddle!

Deuteronomy requires that true COG members carry a feces paddle when ever they travel.  So whether you are camped in the Piney Woods of Texas, mosquito infected Lake of the Ozarks, the campgrounds on Jekyll Island or in your cave in Petra, you are required to have this tool on hand!

There is virtually NO other source world wide where you can get your very own feces paddle to carry with you. This is one of 365 individual Mosaic laws that you must keep if you are living by Law, not Grace. See Deuteronomy 23:13 on the paddle below which makes the doctrine of the feces paddle clear.

This paddle is also very useful to those Christians who live by Grace alone. You can buy one of these, and give it to your Law keeping friend to show them that they have failed to keep all the law and are in risk of damnation. This may help them get out of the Slough of Despond of Law and onto the glorious road to
Liberty by faith in Christ Jesus.

Here are some people who need a feces paddle:

Seventh Day Adventists
Seventh Day Baptists
Hebrew Roots People
Yawehist Cult
Fundamental Baptists who insist on keeping "Baptist Standards"
World Wide Church of God people
Even Orthodox Jews may want to buy our feces paddle

You can buy your own Feces Paddle here: Law Keepers Feces Paddle    Just think how much fun it would be to mail one of these to Spanky Meredith, Six Pack Flurry or Dennis Leap!

Latest Armstrongite Flare-Up: WCG Wales

You would have thought all the legalists that worshiped all things HWA would have left WCG/GCI by now.  It seems they have not in Wales.

There has been a rebellion recently by a deacon there who is leading a small group of people away from WCG.  It seems a WCG minister came to celebrate Unleavened Bread in a small Welsh church and brought a loaf of regular bread.  Drama ensued and the deacon is seeking to negotiate with Spanky Meredith about bringing his group into Spanky's cult.

There is another extremely small splinter cult in the same area (Church of God in Wales), but the deacon will not join with them because he had a falling out with them previously.  They want to get back as close to HWA's teachings as possible.

From the UK Apologeticss site:

Here in Wales a WCG group which has met in the southwest Wales area for several years (some of them known to your writer) have suddenly become more militant, insisting that pure Armstrongism should be revived in their area. Apparently, civil war broke out when a minister from the UK 'headquarters' attended their west Wales meeting place on the First Day of Unleavened Bread, 2011, taking only fully leavened bread which he openly ate in the presence of all. He also preached, effectively telling them that it was time for them to grow up! I have now received a few reports of what ensued, though, as always in such reports, there are variations. According to one report, the anger almost came to blows being landed, certainly the official WCG 'minister' was accused of 'preaching heresy.'

We are told that the deacon who seems to have led the local rebellion now states that he will lead the west Wales WCG grouping out of the officially "reformed" WCG and will make contact with the 'Living Church of God' (Roderick Meredith's old, diehard Amstrongist group; website here), in order to recover full-blown Armstrongist teachings. Of course, numbers are now absolutely tiny, we speak here of about 20-25 people at the very most. But the official WCG in Wales is already very small so if this breakaway goes ahead this will make their numbers even more meager.

Interestingly, this part of southwest Wales (around Whitland) already has an extremist Armstrongist group, the so-called Church of God in Wales, Now this group is truly tiny, 3-7 people the last time I heard, but the new deacon-led grouping is currently insisting (although this could change) that they will not make contact with that group because of former clashes between the deacon and the former WCG local elder who later set himself up as leader of this COGW ('Church of God in Wales'). I understand that further damage was done when the former WCG local elder did not attend the funeral of a long-standing member in the area.

This is not something new to WCG.  Almost every congregation still contains a few members who are loyal to HWA's teachings.  They remain in WCG/GCI because that is where God placed them. They feel that God will correct the situation in due time.  Many feel that by staying put they will become leaders when the GCI repents of it's errors and they can begin teaching 'the truth'. to the returning and repenting flock.  They are sad, miserable people who make everyone around them equally miserable.

Robin Brace sums up their state of mind quite well:

One could be somewhat amused by all of these rather sad goings-on but the real tragedy is that the Lord Jesus Christ is not enough for these people, they are firmly legalistic, believing that they cannot be "true Christians" without being in subservience to a whole group of Old Covenant laws. These people hold to what is sometimes now called Galatianism, and the Apostle Paul's ringing condemnation of Galatianist legalism should be a warning for us all....

So the WCG legalists (yes, there obviously still are WCG legalists, whatever you might have been led to believe) just seem to be committed to judging their brothers and sisters and causing friction. When will some of these people grow up? When will they actually study the Scriptures for themselves instead of worshipping at the shrine of Armstrongism?
