PCG: Peter Suffered and Died In Order To Set An Example For PCG Members In The End Times

 


Crazy theology in the Church of God is not limited to Dave Pack and Bob Thiel. Gerald Flurry has his own unique brand of nuttiness regarding his understanding of scripture.

Note below what they say about why members suffer trials. I bet Peter had no idea that what he was suffering and would eventually die from what was happening just so he could teach the crazy Philadelphia Church of God a lesson. 

Peter was standing up for the truth he understood. The PCG delivers heresies and false teachings to the world and destroys members' lives. This is NOT something that Peter died for.

“God’s plan was for Peter to be put to death,” Mr. Flurry writes. “Why? There is more to it than just His desire to refine Peter’s character” (The Epistles of Peter—A Living Hope).

Consider this in your trials: There is more to be gained than just the refinement of your character.

“With the crisis in the Church, his personal trials and the knowledge of his imminent death, Peter had so much he could have been negative about. But Peter was learning a lesson specifically so he could teach the Philadelphia Church of God in this end time!” Mr. Flurry continues. “We must learn it, so we can build this solid hope into our lives—and then proclaim it to the world!” Peter’s trials would help the future Church of God! And we in turn must proclaim what we learn.

“What Peter went through was a stupendous blessing for us! God has a plan to get this lesson into our minds as we go forth to broadcast a difficult message in the most difficult times ever! This is what will keep us going when we don’t want to keep going. This hope is for the whole world. We must be globally minded, as God is. Christ gave His life for the world. We have been called to follow in His steps” (ibid).

We must learn to think this way in our trials! As Mr. Flurry writes: “You will never endure the trials God gives you unless you see this splendid reason to do so.”

Impossible Possibilities by Scott Steel


 

Impossible Possibilities

By Scott Steel

While listening to “The Greatest Untold Story!” Parts 423 and 424 by David C. Pack, I was initially surprised by the content. The mystery became bigger and more vast than expected. I certainly didn’t think he would entertain such an abrupt about-face from his previously established doctrinal truth that comprised the “final” Mystery of God.

 

Since I departed from The Restored Church of God in 2016, I have occasionally followed the ramblings of Dave Pack. As a now-outsider looking in, it has sometimes been comical while at other times concerning. But all of the time, it has been a self-defeating mess.

 

One word repeated too often has caught my attention more than any other throughout the years. This word should catch everyone's attention, no matter what context it is used in.

 

Impossible.

 

It is the most frequently used qualifier that enhances the immovable nature of the current teaching. By stating it over and over, Dave Pack tells his audience there is no other logical option of belief.

 

Impossible to be…

Impossible not to be…

 

Dave Pack has used “impossible” countless times in sermons and in his Brethren/Co-worker letters. “It is impossible for this present evil world to continue any longer.” That is his favorite expression to paint the bleak intensity of worsening world conditions that can’t go on another year. Herbert W. Armstrong of The Worldwide Church of God was well-versed in this technique. Today, we call that fear-mongering.

 

The “jaw-dropped” Headquarters ministers have adopted “impossible” numerous times in their Prophecy Updates for the RCG membership. This purposely blocks all non-conforming thoughts from the idea that the desired conclusion has any chance of not being correct.

 

Dave Pack has really been on a roll these past few years in defining the context of his greatest story. It is impossible for the prophetic picture to change. It is impossible for any option other than what is taught today. The subject matter is conclusive, and no further discussion is required.

 

 

This past Saturday, February 25, 2023, Dave Pack gave Part 423, which was laced with “threads” to establish the completely new Mystery of God.

 

He continually pushes aside potential detractors from within the membership by reinforcing his points of fact 19 times using “impossible.” That number does not include all the occurrences, which means there are more.

 

Part 423 – February 25, 2023

@ 24:33 Now, if that's true if those eleven days are true (they are), it’s impossible, it’s impossible, brethren, to not know when the Day of the Lord is. It’s impossible. It’s Iyar 1.

 

Who would dare argue with a triply-impossible fact like that?

Dave Pack indicates with bravado how "impossible to argue with" his new understanding is. His proof and metrics are inarguable, and the brethren better not try.

 

That was the theme of both messages on Saturday. Parts 423 and 424. The sequence of the events and their placement within the 2023 calendar are impossible to dispute, and all his points are inarguable.

 

 

If his biblical knowledge is so spot-on and impossible to disagree with, why does Dave Pack present such a powerful position while also revealing a defensive posture?

 

I mean, it’s like robbing a bank. Imagine this:

 

Give me all the money. I have a gun and will kill you. I want all unmarked twenty-dollar bills in a cotton bag. I have a gun and will kill you. Don't say a thing to anyone. Just smile. I have a gun and will kill you. It is impossible that I don’t have a gun. It’s inarguable that I won't kill you. Give me all the money.

 

Assertive and bold. But also insecure at the same time.

 

Why would God’s final revelation to His only Good and Faithful Servant be presented in such a threatened manner? If it were all inspired truth, what could possibly challenge God’s blessing of knowledge to His people through His chosen vessel and end-time prophet?

 

Maybe Dave Pack’s fragile display stems from the facts of history that, time and time again, get in the way of his "impossible to misunderstand” mistakes. Maybe it is because he just took a few months-weeks-days' worth of impossibilities and inarguable proofs and chucked them over the hill into the scrap pile that he rushes “in the midst of” to hold the Flag of Certainty Now while standing offensively defensive.

 

The picture was clear before but proven wrong. The new picture is even more clear than before. Until it is proven wrong seven days later.

 

 

What really surprised me the most, and I didn't see coming from Parts 423 and 424, was the number of big changes, not only to the timeline but also to the supportive metrics of the Mystery of God.

 

I counted at least 14 changes to what was just recently etched in granite as confirmation of factual evidence. Dave Pack took 790+ minutes of carved-in-stone teaching of the prophetic Mystery of God, laid it on a table in a dark back room, then took a sledgehammer and smashed it into pieces.

 

Once Dave Pack emerged from the killing floor, he cobbled together new months, days, beginnings, endings, dusks, dawns, who, what, where, how many, and then offered how impossible not to happen it all was. I mean, it’s just inarguable now.

 

As each day on the calendar comes and goes, Dave’s strong-arm assurances fall victim to the real possibility that his narrative is flawed. He has never understood the speed, intensity, and timing of real prophetic fulfillment. The beautifully framed RCG picture reveals a background of confusion. But, if you look closely, you can see it as just one big giant fraud. 

 

If Dave Pack is going to live or die with impossibilities, he had better be aware that possibilities are his and his god’s mortal enemy.

 

If Dave Pack continues to argue with the inarguable Dave Pack, the result is, and has always been, a house divided against itself. The calendar and simple math will define whether Dave Pack's "impossible not to happen” stands or falls.

 

It would be wise to prepare now for that real possibility.

Dave Pack Is So Sure Of Himself That He Will Die On His Holy Hill In Wadsworth


 

Two Curses

 

David C. Pack of The Restored Church of God delivered a double feature on February 25, 2023, when he gave "The Greatest Unending Story!" Parts 423 and 424.

 

The He-Is-The-Man discovery in Daniel 12:12 that the 1335 is connected to Iyar 1 (April 22), followed by a final “plain” message(s) on the Sabbath triggered the micron short delay watch period for the First Kingdom to Israel when Jesus Christ will return briefly to oversee the rebuilding of the Temple Altar so sacrifices can resume, but before returning to Heaven, He will raise Elijah as an invisible ruler to proclaim global announcements until a resurrected Nebuchadnezzar is revealed as the Man of Sin who stops the sacrifices and sets up the Abomination of Desolation in Jerusalem.

 

That is a mouthful. But that is what they teach now. It could start maybe this week. Possibly next week. Keep watching because no man knows the day and the hour of the arrival of the Kingdom of Dave.

 

Christ’s Kingdom, you can know. The Father’s Kingdom, you can know. But Dave’s Kingdom is a secret.

 

The weekend highlights from Parts 423 and 424 have been updated.

 

·      The 1335 of Daniel 12 started on February 24

·      The Kingdom of Dave “could be” this week

·      The Temple Altar “could be” built this week

·      “All hell breaks loose” on March 19

·      The Tribulation begins on March 23

·      The Man of Sin is revealed on March 23

·      The Great Tribulation starts on April 11

·      All of Israel goes into captivity on April 11

·      The Day of the Lord/return of Jesus Christ is on April 22

 

The clock ticks toward Iyar 1 as the new apex for all prophetic timing. Abib 1 has been brushed aside as the bridesmaid and no longer the bride.

 

Please do not panic. If the Kingdom of Dave does not begin by late next week, the rest of the timing elements fall like dominos. I sense Part 425 in our near future.

 

 

This reminder from last week will place this week in the proper perspective.

 

Flashback Part 422 – February 18, 2023

@ 33:45 This is just the way I’m gonna be ‘cause there’s no more Series. No more sermons where I’m gonna come and tell ya anything differently than I do now. I cannot say these things tonight and then undo them.

 

David C. Pack says everything you need to hear to determine whether he is true or not, whether he is of God or not.

 

During Part 423 on Saturday, he did not beat around the bush, bothering with just minor adjustments. No. This time, he leaped into hardcore Christian Bale Mode on his previous teachings. You know, from seven days ago.

 

Part 423 – February 25, 2023

@ 11:26 Many things are about to change. And, as I say, they will be clarifying, fascinating, terrifying, and comforting…So, let’s open with this question: Could the Kingdom to Israel be longer than WE thought?

 

This is another “The answer is always YES” Dave question. He ate 52 minutes during Part 421 with “16 Proofs” the Kingdom of Dave was precisely one month. He even presented it with a Twist rendering his points primarily useless.

 

But that was a whole week ago, so toss your old notebook into the growing dumpster fire.

 

@ 11:50 But, could they be longer than WE thought? Could it? The number of days. Could it be more than thirty days? The whole period.

 

This means Dave found the authority to change “one month” after all.

 

Flashback Part 421 – February 18, 2023

@ 1:10:12 And I found no authority to add to it…But I found no authority. You cannot add to seven years or a thousand years. You cannot add to one month. It was just that simple.

 

Dave explains there is a 3 ½ day period before the one month. Using sleight of hand and verbal gymnastics, he avoids stating, "one month is now 33 ½ days,” but that is what he teaches.

 

Much like the 1335 clock reset or Elijah ruling the First Kingdom to Israel means it is the Kingdom of Dave, he says it without saying it. He is either hiding the facts or in denial.

 

The following quote makes the point clear.

 

Part 423 – February 25, 2023

@ 28:57 Realize the Kingdom to Israel isn’t losing days now, but rather, has been lengthened.

 

Dave believes this enough to prove he does not fear God. Fools rush in where angels fear to tread.

 

@ 29:41 So, I wanna state one last time, unequivocally, and I’ll just absolutely die on this ground. This is the hill I die on. It is impossible that Abib does not close with the Day of the Lord. Impossible. It’s unbiblical.

 

David C. Pack pronounces a curse on himself.

 

He must believe we are not held accountable for the words that come out of our mouths when we stand before God on the day of judgment.

 

He said this ONE WEEK AGO.

 

Flashback Part 421 – February 18, 2023

@ 59:41 But it cannot change the duration of the month. I will die before I believe otherwise.

 

David C. Pack already pronounced a curse on himself.

One week later, he betrays what he swore upon.

 

He will die before he believes the Kingdom to Israel is not exactly one month. Seven days later, he changed it to at least 33 ½ days.

 

The blind hubris of invoking his own life while speaking under God’s authority is astounding. I fear for the man.

 

Thankfully for us all, God is patient and long-suffering.

 

 

There are two aspects of God rarely covered in sermons but are self-evident in life.

 

God has a sense of humor.

 

God is a fan of irony.

 

David C. Pack should be praying on his knees with tears that these two qualities of God do not come together any time soon. Especially on April 21 at 8:12 PM ET.

 

He will not do that. But I will.

 

Lord God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. Have mercy upon David Crowl Pack, for he knows not what he does. Grant him repentance for his pride and blasphemy so that he might receive mercy. Let Your will be done. I ask this in the name of Your Son, Jesus Christ. Amen.

 

I do not hate David C. Pack. I do not long for the death of David C. Pack. I hope he repents.

 

But, these are dark times for The Restored Church of God. These are dark times for David C. Pack.

 

When a man invokes a curse upon himself and then breaks it in front of the whole church, you know things are bad.
