Sabbath Breakers Are Out To Lead Simple Women Away From Their Chastity



More hilarity from apsotle Malm:

They have a certain outward appearance of righteous, but they do what THEY think is right and NOT what God commands. They are the kind of people who go to church and say “Oh, I am so righteous because God has called me and I’m going to a great corporate church. We have great ministers and great sermons. And all of this is so great.” And then they go home. They pollute their bodies. They pollute the Sabbath. They envy their neighbors. They abuse their children and their wives. They’re unfaithful, unthinking, and unthankful. Yes, from such turn away.

For of this sort are they which creep into houses, and lead captive silly women laden with sins, led away with diver’s lusts. II Tim 3

That is, these kinds of people will take advantage of simple women to seduce them and led them away from their chastity.  This is a type of false teachers leading the simple and ungrounded in sound doctrine away from, the faith for all saints are symbolic women and called to be chaste virgins fit to be a part of teh bride of the Lamb.

Has the Church of God Ever Had An Original Thought?



For well over seventy years various Churches of God have declared that it's beliefs and understanding were products of restored truths that had been lost for over 1,900 years.  Herbert Armstrong declared that his understanding was all sent from God after his yes were opened.  The question that needs to be asked is just what is it that he taught that was original and his own?

British Israelism was around hundreds of years before HWA ever touched the subject.  Then he has to go and copy word for word out of "Judah's Scepter and Jacob's Birthright."

Then the Church of God 7th Day revealed that HWA had copied word for word one of it's own booklets that he called "Has Time Been Lost."

The teaching that we were all to become gods, was taken from the Mormons.  The Jehovahs Witnesses provided plenty of resources for prophecy and end times malarkey that HWA used.  His basement safe was filled with JW books.

Now to add to that list, is an entry that James has on the Painful Truth blog about soon coming world dictator (Beast Power/European Union) soon to arise.  HWA started writing about the soon to emerge European Union that would be the Beast of Revelation around 1934.  Was this something new that God had revealed to HWA?  Don't count on it.  There were numerous articles in newspapers and magazines as far back as 1929 detailing the upcoming European Union.  For more article clippings fromteh1930's click here:  "Stolen Ideas" Using Newspapers to Invent Prophecy


Using newspaper articles to fit you end of the world theories is typical Armstrongism.  The research departments at Pasadena worked overtime in trying to find anything that fit the prophecy scenario that HWA was trying to establish.  Prophecy prediction was just as reliable as the proof-texting that the church employed when it came to scriptures.  As we all now know, the Church of GOd has failed miserably in both of these areas.

The True WCG Says: Nations Fear the U.S. Because We Have Special UFO Contacts



Just when you think the looney farm that makes up the Churches of God could not get any weirder, along comes E. W. King with more stupidity.

Did you know that the nations of the world are in awe and fear of the United States because of the special relationship we have with UFO's?  UFO's seem to prefer Americans to study, probe and have sex with over other humans around the world.. 

According to King, the US military has hoards of documentation UFO sightings by American test pilots and others.

But what do we see now? People from ancient past have talked about strange objects in the sky. Before there was any flight technology these sighting must have seemed super strange. Now that man has flight technology many things have been seen in the sky? Should this surprise us? No. During the 1940’s humans were experimenting with all sorts of new military craft. Commercial pilots reported seeing all sorts of things. The US Air Force started “Project Blue Book” to find out just who saw what and to create cover stories to protect the Top Secret experimental air craft’s.

King, like all good Armstrongites has to interject "sex" into the mix.  Spanky must be proud!

Now it is true that other anomalies have been spotted that are not manmade objects flying through the sky. What of these? Many are simply things occurring naturally that man does not yet understand. But there is a very small percentage that seems to be guided or “intelligent” objects. What are these? Many claim that they are little-gray bug type aliens that are flying around. Thousands of people have come forth with stories claiming that they have been abducted by these ET’s. Their stories are simply horrifying. They claim that these little gray-bug type aliens have done numerous operations on their bodies. Many of these stories involve strange sexual activity.



Here is his astounding wisdom on how nations fear us because of our UFO contacts:

Before I talk further about this phenomenon let me here say that these stories in some ways help America because the other countries now think that we are favored with extraterrestrial technology and private “special” contact. This adds fear to the nations. We can now say that we have the best ‘extraterrestrial technology’. In some ways the US Government feeds into these stories and even helps invent and promote them. We can now turn our TV’s on and watch National Geographic and or Discovery Channel only to learn that we have been created by these aliens. This false propaganda has even a darker side to it.

Of course that darker side is that big, bad, old meanie Satan. Armstrongism, for some reason, lives in fear of it's created creature they call satan.  They give their satan far more power than there actually may be.  They also talk about him way more than they do Jesus Christ.
