Davey Pack On How He Respects Zerrubbabel While the Rest of the COG's Reject Him

Davey Pack, Mr. Perfection and leader of the worlds most superfantabulous Church of God EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! is getting ready to reveal who Joshua is....though anyone with any reading capability knows who he is going to reveal.

But first, he wants to get across that he is the ONLY one in the entire Church of God that respects Herbert Armstrong the Zerubbabel.

With their thinking now overthrown, many former WCG brethren no longer believe Mr. Armstrong was Zerubbabel—and many of these are adamant. But we might ask: If Mr. Armstrong was wrong about this, who else could have been Zerubbabel? Who else finished laying the foundation of God’s House? Who else is even remotely a candidate?

Some critics, loathing the idea that Mr. Armstrong could have been ANYTHING special, actually claim that Zerubbabel is Christ, or that Joshua is Christ. Imagine Christ inspiring the prophets Haggai and Zechariah to carry messages to Himself, or rather to both of “Himselves” since He might be both Joshua and Zerubbabel. Next imagine Christ telling Himself (twice) as He does in Haggai to “fear not” and to “be strong” and that “I am with you.” How would the God of the Old Testament be with Himself? Now imagine Christ saying He “stirred up the spirit” (Hag. 1:14) of Himself when speaking of doing this to Zerubbabel or Joshua, or both. Further—and Zechariah 3 shows this—Joshua is: (1) seen standing with the Lord, (2) described as receiving Christ—“the Branch”—at His Return and (3) an angel duly charges (“protests” to) him about matters no angel would DARE say to Christ, who is God. Do not let ignorant lay members or even ministers distort your thinking.

So, like Zerubbabel, Joshua is a human being—one man!—who lives just before and up to the time of Christ’s Return.

Anyone want to start taking bets on who Davey is going to reveal as Joshua?

Dave Pack Is Still Whining: Everyone Ignores Me!

Davie Joshua C Pack is back today with his latest missive where he says he will reveal who Joshua is.  He starts off with his usual complaint.  No on in the splinter groups listens to him.  Oh boo hoo!

His weak impotent god is getting ready to "reinstate" thousands of COG members around world back into the one true church.......IF......they mend their ways and grovel at Dave's feet with great weeping and knashing of teeth.

Most in the splinters are not yet reading these announcements. The Haggai prophecy actually shows that this would be the case, but also that it would change. (My two final announcements will explain this.) God, through His Spirit, is about to begin communicating individually with these thousands currently cut off from Him. His Spirit now lies dormant in them because, having left His Church, they have for over 20 years been unwilling to “consider their ways” (Hag. 1:5, 7). God had to put them out of His Church—disfellowship them (I Cor. 5:5; I Tim. 1:20)—until they had learned bitter lessons, and until He was ready to address them. Much like people who broke the Sabbath, stole God’s tithes, skipped the Feast of Tabernacles or committed adultery, God is preparing to “reinstate” thousands of people at the same time IF they consider their ways—their false doctrines, traditions, behavior and worldly standards.

Living Church of God Now Taking the Gospel of Rod to Restrooms Around the World

LCG must really be desperate.

I think some sneaky people are trying to infiltrate my church. Well, that's what happens when it's big.

In the men's room this morning, I found a slip of paper on the counter. It read:

THE RETURN OF JESUS CHRIST IS NEAR !

[Web address redacted]

LE RETOUR DE  JESUS-CHRIST EST PROCHE !

[le site web censuré]

It turns out the site belongs to the Living Church of God, one of the many splinter groups that formed after the death of Herbert W. Armstrong and the doctrinal shift of the original Worldwide Church of God. They're Armstrongite purists: anti-Trinitarianism, Sabbatarianism, The United States and Great Britain in Prophecy, the whole nine yards.

I suspected as much at the time, so I "liberated" the piece of paper. Heretics have no right to advertise their teachings in the restrooms at my church, anyway. The fact that they would do so doesn't surprise me - as I said, we're a big church, and in the past we've had folks like Mormon missionaries and even neo-Nazis just walk in and try to evangelize people.

What surprised me more, in fact, was that Armstrongism still has a following, as I had figured it died the death of a thousand papercuts when the WWCG fractured.

Anyone else see something similar in their neighbourhood? Fighting Fundamental Forums
