Banks Refusing To Loan Money To Dave Pack

Silenced is reporting in it's article Delusions of the Pack that Dave Pack has failed to secure funding of his mini-me monument to himself.

According to sources who wish to remain anonymous, Pack has revised the start date for construction on his personal shrine. He cannot borrow additional funds from the bank for the project, resulting in a renewed grovelling for member donations. RCG tried to borrow about 50 percent of it’s required funding, and now that the cult can’t get financing, Pack insists he never borrows money.

We have come to the spring of the year when the first two of the seven annual Holy Day offerings arrive. I do not need to tell all of you veteran members how important are these yearly “spikes” in our income. In what we have been describing as our “austerity year,” because we must (and are able to) pay for the entire building project cash-the banks are terrified of lending to any but their most established borrowers, and we never borrow anything-these Holy Day offerings become more crucial than ever. We can all understand why. Please go to God, at least once if not more, before preparing each of your Holy Day offerings. Consider making the decision on your knees. Ask God to give you the FAITH and the COURAGE-and the VISION of the world as it is and the great need to reach it with Christ’s “kingdom of God” announcement and the “Ezekiel warning” to the nations of Israel-before settling on a “number.”

Since he has failed to secure funding will he be able to open his completed campus in one year in April of 2013?  Has he told another lie or will gullible members mortgage their homes and businesses to fund this abomination?

Apostle Malm Health Crisis

Apostle Malm updates his health condition: 

As far as editing is concerned, please remember that I am in an advanced stage of diabetes with serious eye problems; I have no help on this effort and I am now reaching the point where I am almost too blind to do this work at all; and I do not get enough support to hire an editor or secretary. Those who complain should maybe think about helping out?
For everyone’s infomation I have just begun to take certain suplements that may help reduce the retinal bleeding and cornea swelling; hopefully improving my syesight; this will take several months if it works. The prayers of the brethren are much appreciated. james

While I wish him a speedy recovery, I wonder how much of what he is going through is because of negligence.  COG history proves that some people refuse to get proper medical health thinking that they can pray it away or an anointed cloth will do the trick.  I  hope this is not the case, but.....

Prophet Thiel: There Is A Planet Waiting Just For You!

Our galaxy is just one out of billions

Prophet Thiel, the official spokesperson for Living Church of God has this to say about current research that tells of billions of inhabitable planets.

What might be the purpose of all the planets in the universe?
Notice the following passage from Hebrews:

6 But one testified in a certain place, saying:  “What is man that You are mindful of him, Or the son of man that You take care of him?  7 You have made him a little lower than the angels; You have crowned him with glory and honor, And set him over the works of Your hands.  8 You have put all things in subjection under his feet.”
For in that He put all in subjection under him, He left nothing that is not put under him. But now we do not yet see all things put under him. 9 But we see Jesus, who was made a little lower than the angels, for the suffering of death crowned with glory and honor, that He, by the grace of God, might taste death for everyone.
10 For it was fitting for Him, for whom are all things and by whom are all things, in bringing many sons to glory, to make the captain of their salvation perfect through sufferings.  (Hebrews 2:6-10)

So, the entire universe was made for humankind, but is not yet under human subjection, but will be first under Jesus.  And then, later under humankind.
So, resurrected humans will at some time rule all the planets of the universe.

From those scriptures the Prophet deduces that you will be given a planet.  Wait, not YOU specifically, since most of you are heretics, but TRUE COG members down through the centuries.

Lest you fail to see that TRUE COG members will be ruling planets the Prophet adds this as further proof:

33 And He will reign over the house of Jacob forever, and of His kingdom there will be no end. (Luke 1:33)
6 For unto us a Child is born, Unto us a Son is given; And the government will be upon His shoulder. And His name will be called Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.  7 Of the increase of His government and peace There will be no end…(Isaiah 9:6-7)

Given Prophet Thiel's well thought out logic, I wonder if he considered the following, since he takes all scripture as literal.

Since scripture says there will be neither male nor female in the kingdom, how does he predict all these billions of galaxies will be inhabited?  Who is going to be produce all those kids?  Neither male nor female.....hum.

IF, and IF, we are being sent to rule over our own planet, will the familial structure be broken up?  What about your wife and her family?  Is she doomed to be separated from them because they have their own planet?  With whom does Scruffy the dog go with when he is resurrected? Will your kids be sent off to planets billions of miles away to rule over their own world?  Where will those inhabitants come from?

If, as LCG and other COG claim, the Temple of God will be established again in Jerusalem with its sacrifices in praise of God, how will the city accommodate hundreds of billions of people flocking to it on specific days? Even if one designated male from each of the billions of planets flew down to Jerusalem there still is too many people.  All those burning sacrifices from that many people would burn the City and Temple up!

Logic never seems to enter the picture in COG thought.
