UCG Says, We In The Church of God Are Our Own Greatest Enemy

UCG recently made an observation on the divisions and schism that continue to plague Armstrongism.  Too bad that UCG does not seem to want to fix the problem and how it continues to contribute to it..  How many splits and divisions does UCG need to go through before they realize they are weak and impotent?

Could it be possible that the shattering of the power of the holy people is caused from within? Are the divisions we’ve seen in the last decades fragmenting the Body of Christ? Each fragment is weaker than the whole. Could it be that following in the footsteps of so many before us, we are our own greatest enemies?

There was a great American statesman who once proclaimed that the United States was safe from foreign invasion, and if defeat was to be her destiny, it would have to come from with her own borders.

That seems to be what we are witnessing as the divisions result in more and more fragments of the Church. Each group seems to be working at odds with the others. Each little fragment that leaves become less able to preach the gospel strongly, and power certainly is lost. Is that part of the shattering/scattering that is foreseen? But God did promise Daniel that some would be purified and that the wise would understand (Daniel 12:10
).

In the last 25 years, I have observed the Church change to the point that the former association no longer exists and the fragments left over that still strive to preserve the truth have a combined attendance of no more than 40,000 people. In almost every case, the splits, divisions and troubles came from within. Many ministers and members alike seem to have lost the powerful desire to be united and at peace. Paul’s words that there is one body, one Spirit, one hope, one Lord, one faith, one baptism, one God and a measure of grace are words that do not fit what we see today (Ephesians 4:4-6


). There are more than 300 splinter groups that believe they make up part or all of the Body of Christ. There is no logical way that we can reason that all of them are the Body of Christ when one group considers the others enemies or antagonists. One can only imagine where we would be today if the ministry and members who are entrusted with the truth could have remained together in one organization. How many saints would there be? What impact would the Church have on the population of the world?  

UCG is right when it talks about troubles originating within.  Look at how they kicked out COGWA members and ministers over disagreements.  Look at the numerous harlot daughters UCG has produced over the last 18 some years.  UCG has no desire to be united and at peace. It's all about power and control with that almighty paycheck waiting at the end of the day.

Pod-casting the Tribulation in the Next 5-6 Weeks?

Apostle Malm is again predicting that the tribulation will begin in 5-6 weeks when the abomination of desolation is set up in Jerusalem.  The apostle thinks he has an inside track into Middle East politics right now and is predicting a soon coming war to defeat the radical Muslims.  According to the apostle the Europeans will really get pissed at the Muslims and defeat their sorry asses leading the way to the antichrist to set up his throne in Jerusalem.  That is all supposed to start this year around Feast time.

Apostle Malm writes:

I do still think that there is a very good chance that the abomination will be set up and the tribulation may begin later this year.  We shall know if this is happening in five or six weeks.

 Then he makes this rather sad comment about his son. 

 If that does happen, I plan to continue with this effort and cover that activities of the two servants of God until the faithful leave.   I hope to see my son married and enjoying some happiness in the prepared place, after he has spent a lifetime helping and  holding me up.  I see the possibility that God might choose me to be one of his two as being remote.

You have to feel sorry for his son. The guy apparently loves his father so much that he has put his life on hold in order to take care of his ill father. Malm only sees hope for his son to be married in Petra.

I look back at the thousands of lives of young people in the Churches of God that had been marred by this kind of thinking.  Lives were put on hold, educational dreams were destroyed, relationships put on the back burner all in the anticipation of the sudden exodus to Petra all because the end times were upon us.  For two thousands years these wolves have been screeching this same message because they inwardly have no hope or security in the One they claim to be following.

He then lays out a subtle hint for hi acolytes to start sending him more moeny.  The apostle wants to start "fireside chat's" through podcasting his earth shattering messages.  Yes folks, lets sit around the fire tonight and talk about you sorry bastards that continue to eat out on Saturdays profaning the Sabbath and how your ass is going to end up in the lake of fire.  That makes me warm and fuzzy thinking about it.  Where's my glass of wine!

If we are given more time I plan to begin making regular audios of about 15 to 30 minutes duration and posting them at the ashininglight.info site as well as podcasting them to itunes.  These would not be sermons as such but fireside chats style talks about God and his ways.

As soon as finances permit I want to move from this noisy apartment by a busy highway to increase the quality of said audios.  If I am moving I want to get into a quiet and slightly larger rental apartment where I can set up a room with the necessaries to begin making audio video presentations as well.

I do not need a million dollar studio to do this; a good camera and mic and a quiet room is all that is needed.  I also do not need to spend millions on TV program time; I will be loading these on Youtube and advertising this to the public on the Outreach Site and here.

The apostle has also started an adverting campaign hitting religious sites around the world with pop up ads.  Impotent Dave Pack must be shivering in his boots right now!

The Outreach advertising began in earnest yesterday with a target of 100,000 full page popup ads for 30 days, at religious and media sites in the US, Canada, Australia and New Zealand set for the campaign.
I don’t want to mislead here.  The vast majority of these exposures will be quickly deleted; however that 1% who read a few pages, comes back for more and tells their friends makes this very worthwhile.  Remember that 1% of 3 million is still over 30,000, and as these events unfold more and more interest will be generated in news and prophecy; leading into doctrine.

When people find out he is connected to Armstrongism the remaining 1% will delete him also.

Apostle Malm Admitting He is A False Prophet?

The apostle writes today pretty damning words about himself.  Malm has set himself up as an end times spokesman for warning the church.  He is just one more in a long line of over 700 men  (and a couple of women) that have come and gone in Armstrongism who have all claimed the same thing.  So far these hundreds of men and women have all been proven false.  Liars all.

In light of that I find Malm's description below for false prophets a perfect description of himself.  God certainly has had no part in setting up Malm as a man to warn the church or the world.

And a false prophet is someone who decides for himself to stand up and speak and to presumptuously declare that his word;, his own words, his own ideas, his own thoughts;  are the word of God. He is presumptuously saying, my words are God’s word. He stands up and says, this is God speaking to you today through me. And then he proceeds to lie in the name of the Lord.

This is an abomination to God because it casts disrepute upon God. When people begin believing this man represents God and all the while he’s lying and deceiving the people.

A false prophet is an abomination. A presumptuous man who says that he is speaking the words of God, when God has not sent him and he is speaking his own words, not the words of God. And he is telling people to do things contrary to the word of God. And he is leading the people about and away from God and toward his own beliefs, his own perspectives, his own positions, his own traditions and his own ideas and is not focusing them on God. This person is an appalling abomination to God.
