"Sometimes I can be a little
judgmental"
" Do you often—or ever—meditate on whether God is truly
ruling you?"
Not really actually. I get more concerned that if I associate with
RCG
it would be YOU truly ruling me and my family.
You seem a tad
judgmental and maybe a bit to serious about yourself.
'The apostates formed a committee to examine all of the Worldwide
Church of God’s doctrines. UCG, with its endless committees and study groups,
is continually reviewing virtually every doctrine Mr. Armstrong taught.'
Now I'm just sayin', but I prefer humans who exam things once in
awhile instead of closing the doors, as you no doubt will, to introspection and
inquiry. Unfamiliar concepts to you I know. It is awesome that what
YOU currently understand is all there is to know unless, of course, more info
comes to you in the night.
"Nothing short of a declaration of war against your
condition, carried out with tremendous zeal, will restore
you."
Oh man, War on Terror, War on Drugs, War on Poverty, War on
Stupid. Now this...War on Ministers That Aren't Dave.
Let me guess....And you are the General on the winning side?
Awesome, Amazing and completely over arching in scope!
Zeal? You mean like The Inquisition?
"This includes every minister, elder and leader who is
reading these announcements! Be careful you are not dismissive of these words,
which merely reflect what Christ declares about the vast majority of those with
His Spirit today. I am not exaggerating for effect! Neither is Christ."
You're threatening us aren't you...Don't threaten us. We'll
send the Karma Fairy
Pardon my skepticism, but that 'merely' thing sounds like you
and Jesus, I mean CHRIST, are pretty tight. Is it like "I and
the Christ are ONE"?
I hope not...
"I am not exaggerating for effect!"
Oh Zule you nut, yes you are!!!!!!!!
"Remembering Isaiah 55:6-9, be careful you do not assume you have obeyed this passage when
you may not have even read it for years."
First of all, don't tell us what we have read or not read much less
understand or do not understand.
I don't like you much. I'm going with Gospel Jesus instead of
you.
Oh Oh! I got one for ya!
Sorry , It's in the New Testament though.
1 Corinthians 13
New International Version
(NIV)
13 If I speak in the tongues[a] of men or of angels, but do not have love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal. (Ahem)2 If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but do not have love, I am nothing.(Ahem)3 If I give all I possess to the poor and give over my body to hardship that I may boast,[b] but do not have love, I gain nothing. (Ok, not much chance for this one from what I can tell by your writings and sermons)4 Love is patient, love is kind.(AHEM) It does not envy,(AGAIN AHEM) it does not boast, (BZZZZZZZZZ...THANKS FOR PLAYING) it is not proud.(AHEM) 5 It does not dishonor others (AHEM AGAIN), it is not self-seeking, (Oh Man AHEM!) it is not easily angered,(Nuther AHEM) it keeps no record of wrongs. (DITTO)) 6 Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. 7 It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.8 Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away. 9 For we know in part and we prophesy in part, 10 but when completeness comes, what is in part disappears. 11 When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I put the ways of childhood behind me. 12 For now we see only a reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known.13 And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love.
"And it was this change in the make-up
doctrine that Satan began injecting liberalism into the Church in order to get
the Church off the track in the 1970's"

You talkin' to me?
I hope you're not talking to me...
Yep.....he's talking to you...He showed up at
my party and went bonkers. Closed us down. Disfellowshipped my parents and
called me a little Jezebel. Man...I bet the circus in the World Tomorrow will
be dumb.
Grow up Mr. Pack. The the
theological posturing gets old. Come out of your castle and down
from your throne and join the rest of humanity. The world of all
things God, Christ and Jesus (oops) does not center on you. Truth
does not reside in your opinions and perspectives. Accountability to others is
a good and safe thing in the real world. It's actually in the Bible.
The views and experiences of others are equally as informative to them as
yours are to you. It is wiser with your "brilliant mind" to
enroll yourself in a excellent theological program and actually get a true
overview of the all things actually Biblical including the history, background
and actual intent and origins of scripture.
DO NOT tell them you are Joshua the
High Priest for Today (You'll get an F right off the bat.) and please
keep any icebreaker's in class to just under a month and personal pronouns
to under 1000. Mention Jesus at least once and let others talk
too. Oh..and as difficult as it might be..listen.
