The apostate apostle is continuing to hyperventilate over the two sermons given this past weekend in United Church of God services by Bill Eddington and Roy Holiday. Malm is basically equating these two sermons as the equivalent of setting up the abomination of desolation in the church.
Malm starts right out of the gate by spitting that they use the NIV Bible as their translation of choice. According to apostate Malm this Bible version is a new age, demonic inspired translation in league with Madam Blavatsky.
One of the notable things about these tow
talks is that BOTH speakers relied on the fraudulent evangelical
translations produced by the evangelical movement to justify their
doctrines and positions. They also relied on Commentaries produced by
unconverted evangelicals.
He then moves on to start reaming Bill Eddington. Apostate Malm is still jumping to the conclusion that Bill Eddington fainted after the sermon because of the sermon topic, which Eddington never wanted to preach in the first place. Evidence of which apostate Malm has none.
Bill himself was obviously highly
stressed and immediately after the sermon collapsed into a fait
requiring medical attention. Clearly he was uncomfortable with the
deception by half truths, that has was asked to perform.
Malm continues on:
Declaring
that much existing doctrine is wrong and needs to be corrected: this is
true, however the direction they want to go is even more wrong.
declaring that
Christ wants us to teach a false gospel about uniting men with one
another; instead of the Gospel of warning, repentance and the
internalizing of God’s mind, nature, spirit and works within ourselves,
through the diligent keeping of all the commandments of God: which Jesus
Christ COMMANDED us to preach.
For those with eyes to see: the
references to the mistakes of HWA and his WCG, with no mention
whatsoever of how wrong the Tkach transitional teachings were and are,
is a dead giveaway that they are moving to correct the teachings of the
HWA WCG and moving towards the evangelical fold.
Malm feels that all of the men currently leading UCG were Tkach lackeys for the time they remained in WCG before they jumped ship to UCG. He also believes that all of the men left in UCG are of the same mindset that Tkach Sr. held and want to change UCG doctrine to fit what Tkach Sr. brought.
When they announce that they must learn
and correct the mistakes of HWA, and then announce that they are moving
to a new beginning in Christ for UCG. They are saying the lie that HWA
was not Christ centered!
That much they have right, if that is what they actually believe. HWA was "law centered" and nothing beyond that. Every doctrine of the church was law based instead of grace based.
Malm is upset that UCG wants unity on the church to be centered around
Jesus Christ.
In fact, this message was all about love
and organizational unity and nothing was said about the way to achieve
that unity! Which is to be built on the foundation of true repentance
and the diligent obeying the law of God. Indeed he implied that grace
unites us with God and the commandments are entirely minimized or
ignored.
Malm cannot stand that fact that grace is unmerited and that there is nothing anyone needs to do to receive it. According to Malm grace only comes when you have been beaten over the head with the law and are groveling on the floor for mercy. Sack cloth and ashes are not even enough to gain God's grace if you do not keep all 613 elements of the law.
In fact grace is only applied to the
repentant who commit to: sin no more. Grace covers past sins repented
of and reconciles us to God, but it does not KEEP us in unity with God.
To remain reconciled with God, we must remove and root out the sin that
separates us from God.
Then Malm goes on to accuse them of this, which is actually true:
They have reset the minds of the
congregations to accept this false teaching; that it is grace and the
resurrection of Christ, and his life that reconciles us to God, and
keeps us reconciled. And that we need do nothing on our own except have
love for one another to remain in Christ and reconciled to the Father.
All of the above was just the lead in to picking apart Eddington's sermon. Malm continues on:
He says that RCG/WCG were filled with mistakes in teachings and actions
and they need to be changed. Then he mentions the split with COGWA and
declares that this is an opportunity to make a clean break from the past
teachings of HWA and to go forward as a changed organization.
If that's true, which I really doubt, then I say hallelujah! It's about time! But, I will not hold my breath on this.
He clearly states that the UCG now has a different spirit from the past, produced over the last 12 months in particular.
Eddington is right. Now that the legalistic pimps of the law have moved over to their new regime in COGWA, UCG obviously will have a different spirit. The angry legalists are gone!
He quotes 2 Cor 5:17 as justifying the changes and presenting UCG as a
new entity in its core attitude and goals or mission. He implies that
UCG was not in Christ in the past, and is now changed to become new in
Christ.
He is very clearly saying that they were NOT in Christ in the past! He
is saying that HWA and the other organizations based on his teachings
are NOT in Christ. Of course they are making mistakes, but this man is
declaring them unconverted and NOT in Christ; because they at least make
a pretense of KEEPING God’s commandments.
Therefore he is saying that the keeping of the commandments is not
important and is contrary to Christ. Which is an absolute LIE and a
COMPLETE PERVERSION of the teachings of Jesus Christ.
He then says that we are on the threshold of a new organization which is
based on the love of Christ! Based on an emotional cotton candy false
love without any foundation, that looks good, tastes good; and has no
substance, bringing only a spiritual belly ache, rottenness and
ultimate destruction!
Bill then says that Christ settled the relationship between God and man
by forgiving sin; and that the gospel is for man to do the work of
Christ by settling our relationships with each other and forgiving one
another tolerating sin; totally perverting the Gospel that Christ
commanded that we teach.
That last paraphrase by Malm sends him off the deep end and he starts shouting:
NO, NO, NO! That is NOT the Gospel. The Gospel is the message
of warning and repentance and instruction to keep all the commandments
of God! The Gospel is that we are to become the children of God by
internalizing his nature, mind and spirit through the diligent keeping
of all the commandments of God.
According to apostate Malm the gospel message that
Jesus Christ brought is this:
This scripture is also not talking about an evangelical false lovey
dovey Christ either; it is talking about a Christ who is filled with
zeal for his Father's temple; a Christ who will not hesitate to spew the
sinner out of the temple, out of his body, and into great tribulation.
Jesus Christ is NOT some pansy pushover who will wink at every
unrepentant sin and gush about how terrible it was that the devil made
us do something. NO, NO, NO! Jesus Christ is a God of personal
responsibility; and he will destroy all unrepentant compromisers and
sinners in Gehenna.
Doesn't that war mongering "christ" make you want to drop your NIV translation and run to Malm's arms? What a welcoming god Malm follows.
Apostate Malm then says this is what he follows
My Christ is a great man who threw the wicked OUT of his Father's house;
who destroyed the Egyptian first born and then the army of Egypt in the
sea. He is a mighty God and Great King, a jealous husband who wants
his bride to be united with him and his Father totally as one; in mind,
spirit, attitude and ACTIONS; through a passionate love for God and a
true zeal for his commandments.
