Is Your Body Leaking The Holy Spirit? Dave Pack Thinks So



The insanity continues to flow from Dave Pack and crew. Pack claims you can have God's Holy Spirit but at the same time God is not allowing it to be "replenished."  I guess we need to pull up to HS tank and pump in some new Spirit every once in a while.

Then he goes on to say that if you leave the one and only TRUE Church of God (Packsim) the Holy Spirit slowly leaks out of you. 



QUESTION 8: How can one have God’s Spirit, but still be outside His true Church? (This is the first of four related questions and answers, each of which builds on the others.)  
The answer to this has already been covered via many of Mr. Armstrong’s quotes, so only a little more need be said. There are branches—individual Christians—that are cut off from Christ’s Church. From that point, His Spirit is dwindling in them, not being replenished. But these “branches” can still be grafted back into the Vine (explained throughout). The flow of God’s Spirit can begin again, and this is directly connected to anointing their eyes. 
Basic fact. All of God’s people, and certainly the ministry, understood in the past that any particular member could be disfellowshipped from the Church and then brought back into it. We all knew that one can be out of the Body of Christ, but return to it. No mystery here. Members can be in the Church (in Christ’s Body), leave or be put out of the Church—from membership—then come back into the Church, having never lost God’s Spirit. Of course, many never return and obviously God’s Spirit does slowly leave them. This process depended on how much of the Holy Spirit they had, and how much time passed while they were cut off, among other things.

This man obviously does not engage his full mental capacity when he writes this drivel.  Even worse, is his small clan of members who believe it as God inspired.



LCG: In Fear Mode Over Pope?



The Living Church of God made the following official announcement about Pope Benedict XVI this past Saturday.  Instead of preaching about Jesus Christ they seem to feel the Pope is more significant.

Will Pope Benedict XVI Resign? The Pope will turn 85 this month. His health issues and comments he has made in the past have some expecting his resignation. In early March, two different reports appeared in Italian newspapers (Il Foglio, March 10; and Libero, March 11), “…advancing the hypothesis that Benedict XVI might resign, in part for the sake of influencing the choice of his successor.” Proponents of the idea that the Pope might resign refer to comments he made in 2010 and to comments he made before becoming pope, that, “If a pope clearly realizes that he is no longer physically, psychologically, and spiritually capable of carrying out the duties of his office, then he has the right, and in some circumstances the obligation, to resign.” Opponents of the idea cite a lack of precedent, and also the “crisis in faith” that having an acting Pope and a “retired Pope” (both considered the “Vicar of Christ”), would create in the church (VaticanInsider.LaStampa.it, September 25, 2011; chiesa.espresso.repubblica.it, March 16, 2012). It has been said, “Leaders think in terms of years or decades, while popes think in terms of centuries.” The Vatican has long been influential in international politics and the papacy has been an important part of the enterprise. Bible prophecy reveals that a “world church” will play a major role in the formation and backing of the end-time European Beast power (see Revelation 17). Whether the current Pope resigns or not remains to be seen. However, we can rest assured that this intelligent Pope has carefully thought through the implications and impact of any decision he will make.

Instead of talking about what was accomplished on the cross at this time of year in LCG, they remain in fear mode. Fear keeps the captives captive and ever fearful of a German Pope who is aging.  A Pope who will make a visit to Jerusalem.  A Pope who will lead the unification of Easter and Western Catholicism who will then incite Germany and others to jump on planes and ships and head over to America to set up concentration camps filled with meat-hooks and ovens.  A Pope who will be taken over by Satan and be the official persecutor of TRUE COG members who weren't lucky enough to make it to Petra. Oh, did I mention the Germans?


Prophet Thiel: Large Hadron Collider a Tool of Europe to Attack US?



Robert Thiel, the Official Spokesperson of the Living Church of God, Rod Meredith's personal mouthpiece and self-appointed authority on the precise sequence of events related to end time prophecy, is concerned about the Europeans using their technology to destroy the United States.

Prophet Thiel has had a particular beef with their Large Hadron Collider.  It seems it is bigger than the one in the US and it will therefore be used for bigger experiments that will make the US look weak.  The Official Spokesperson for the Living Church of God also feels that the rise in European technology is a sure indication that they will soon attack and destroy the United States.

The LHC is a European, not American, project.  It is the largest physics project in the world.
Large physics projects tend to produce military weaponry. Now if the Large Hadron Collider does have military potential, which I have long indicated that it does, all should understand that it is likely that the Europeans and not the Americans will benefit from it:
As I am sure the US version is used first for US interests and then for other use.

Then the Official Mouthpiece on prophecy for the Living Church of God has this specific prophecy:

So, whatever technologies are spun-off from this highly important science project are expected to primarily benefit the Europeans and not the Americans.

The understanding of the Living Church of God that the Europeans will be able to attack and takeover the United States and its Anglo-descended allies (cf. Isaiah 10:5-11; Daniel 11:39) is correct and will come to pass. And it still appears, to me at least, possible that the past and likely future successes of the CERN LHC may assist in the fulfillment of those prophecies.

You would think with all the degrees and certificates that the Official Mouthpiece of the Living Church of God brags about that he would use that education to make wiser judgements and stop uttering such ridiculous false prophecies.
