Davey Pack's Restored Church of God Now Mightier Than Wikipedia

Restored Church of God: We are Bigger, Badder, Meaner and Prettier Than Wikipedia

Dale Schurter has finally reemerged from Dave Pack's reeducation camp where he has learned to think in accordance with Dave's will.  Eyes were anointed, again.  New ways of seeing things are now implemented.

Dale writes:

This extended visit has enabled us to again witness, and begin to participate in “hands on,” the dynamic work God is accomplishing here and around the world.

Brother Dale wants you to wake up and open your eyes to the fact that earthquakes have been happening around the world.  That is a sure indication that the end is here!  Never mind the fact that earthquakes have always happened, it's just that with the internet news travels instantaneously instead of being delayed for weeks.

Be very frightened! 

We can now vividly see the fulfillment of prophecy marching on, with the massive earthquakes of yesterday affecting nations on the shores of the entire Indian Ocean: “BANDA ACEH, Indonesia – Two massive earthquakes [measuring 8.6 and 8.2 on the Richter scale] triggered back-to-back tsunami warnings for Indonesia on Wednesday, sending panicked residents fleeing to high ground in cars and on the backs of motorcycles” (Associated Press).

Then again today, more earthquakes in places such as Mexico and the Oregon coast. This should bring to mind Jesus Christ’s words for our time: “…and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in diverse (different) places” (Matt. 24:7).

Friends and brethren, it is high time we fully open our eyes, hearts and minds to the reality we ARE living in the last days. And, not only that, but especially that we are living at the very end of the entire Church age! Do we individually really GRASP this truth?

 Brother Dale writes:

Today’s apostle, Mr. David Pack, and The Restored Church of God continue to cry out very loudly over the airwaves, cyberspace, in print and in person: May God speed the day of the establishment of His Kingdom on earth.

It's high time you opened your eyes! Dave speaks with AUTHORITY!  Or is it that Apostle Dave is crying out so much that he needs to start using Beano?

Then Brother Dale gets to the gist of the matter.  Either you follow Dave or damn yourself:

We each, individually, choose either to participate in this Work, or reject it!

 As with all things regarding Dave and crew, we are being constantly reminded that the Restored Church of God is the most incredible, largest, mightiest, biggest, and prettiest COG ever to grace this planet.  The earth trembles at the mightiness of Dave Pack and the RCG.  Even those pagans at Wikipedia are being brought to their knees in humility at the awesomeness of Dave

Finally, I leave you with some stunning statistics from RCG main website (rcg.org). The True Origin of Easter booklet was downloaded an incredible 83,417 times during the week leading up to Easter, and was downloaded 35,316 times on Sunday alone! Certain search phrases put RCG’s booklet ahead of even Internet giant Wikipedia. For example, when someone types in “origin of Easter” in Google, the booklet has been in the number 1 search-results position!

Adding to the week’s amazing success is that free (organic) traffic increased substantially over 2011. Nearly 80 percent of visitors to our website during the week came at NO COST to God’s Work, in large part made possible by our extremely high Google search rankings.

How Do You View Jesus?

Where does Armstrongism fit into this picture?  Since many do not belive much of what Jesus said, did, or the concepts he was trying to get across, where do they fall?

Van Robison: "Is The Bible---Mind Control?"

Is The Bible---Mind Control?

To be straight forward, the Bible is INK on PAPER.  That will offend many because they are led to believe that the Bible is the "word of God", infallible and inerrant and totally inspired by God.  None of us were living when whoever penned the many different parts of the Bible were penned.  We have no idea who really penned the various parts of the Bible, or who altered the writings purported to be "original."    Just because a particular book of the Bible has been assigned a name, does not mean that we really know that such a person really penned those words.    Studious researchers always think they know the answers, but we are thousands of years removed from the time and the language or languages of the time the Bible material was penned.

The Bible did not always exist.  It was compiled from the writings (and who knows how many times edited) of many sources.  Parts of it, if not all of it are said to be penned years after the fact.  Another words, it is said by some that many of the books of the Bible were actually penned much later than is commonly believed.  Humans will forever argue over Bible issues and most likely never know the absolute truth.  There is most likely no greater means to control human beings than through religion.  Invent religion, instill fear in people and cause the masses to submit and obey the rulers.  It is the oldest con game in human history.  Is the Bible then "mind control?"  What if it is and you don't know it?

One thing is for sure and that is that God Almighty/Jesus Christ has NEVER appeared to you or to me or to anyone in our day and age, in person, in a visible and physical form and communicated so much as one word.  Therefore God has NEVER told any of us individually what is and what is not TRUTH.    Of course we can read in INK on PAPER that some make the claim that God did in fact communicate with them, such as Noah, but how do we know that it really happened?  If we are totally truthful, we don't know.  We were not there and we are not witnesses in person that it was so.  We can be emotionally attached to the belief that God spoke to Noah, but just because we read it in INK on PAPER, does not make it automatically truthful.  What if it is a myth?

How do you as a Bible reader know whether you have been subjected to "mind control" as a result of the Bible?  In the New Testament you are led to believe that some character named Paul (formerly Saul), was so significant that the writings attributed to him, are totally inspired by God.  What if in fact this man named "Paul" was a fraud, not an "apostle" and in fact did not even write all the books, epistles or letters attributed to him?  If you read widely from many sources, you will in fact learn that many actually believe this is so.

How do you know that the books entitled "Peter" (First Epistle Of Peter) and Second Epistle of Peter were in fact penned by the UNEDUCATED fisherman called Peter, who was a disciple of Jesus, and not some other Peter of unknown origin?  And why would Peter (the fisherman) make the claim that the writings of some man called "Paul" were "scripture", as if inspired by God?  Perhaps there is actually much more that went on behind the scenes than most people will ever know.

Is there in fact a hidden agenda or more than one hidden agenda in the writings of the so called "Bible?"  What does control, power and free money for ever have to do with such sayings as "obey those who have the rule or
authority over you?"  What part does FEAR play in the role of control?  Are there ulterior motives behind much of the writings in the Bible?  How does anyone separate truth and fact from myth, fiction, fear-mongering and
out and out deception, in the name of God, Lord or Jesus Christ?  No one but the most simple minded of people would not ask questions and probe for answers to obvious and glaring issues of the Bible.

The difference between Jesus Christ and the fraud in the Bible, is that Jesus was pure in heart, came to make truth known, and had no ulterior motives.  On the other hand there have always been LYING SCRIBES, false prophets and deceivers who make the claim "thus saith the Lord", "God commanded" or "God inspired" or "God anointed" and so forth, when He did not.    Religion is man made.  LOVE is of God.
