Did Armstrongism Lead You To Moral Reasoning And Ethical Behavior?


 From the Unfundamentalist Facebook page.

For those recovering from fundamentalism.


What are your thoughts? 

Did the constant reminders of losing your salvation for some indiscretion that was taught in Armstrongism lead to moral reasoning and ethical behavior?

Yisrayl Hawkins Took Armstrongite Craziness To A New Level

 

It has been a while since we have featured Yisrayl Hawkins here. He was a former Church of God member who started the House of Yahweh in Abeline Texas. It is a sacred names group that is considered by most to be a borderline dangerous cult. Hawkins also died in 2021 and like Herbert Armstrong, his writings are regarded as sacred scripture worthy of being promulgated to the world as truth.


Hawkins was like Fred Coulter in that he produced his own version of the Bible that he claimed was corrupted by none other than those evil Catholics, the bogeymen of all things fearful in Armstrongism. His take on how the Bible was formed and its canonization is about as crazy as Bob Thiel's take on it all.

He changed the names of many of the names of the Bible to fit his sacred names nonsense.


These are all quotes from the latest cult magazine, The Prophetic Word.

ISAYAH 34:16 
 
Search out The Book of Yahweh, and read. Not one of these will be neglected.
For it is written: Yahweh is their shepherd; for His mouth has commanded it, and His spirit has gathered them. 
 
The Book of Yahweh is the complete writings of the inspired prophets of Yahweh and the apostles of Yahshua Messiah, all in one Book. However, many are unfamiliar with The Book of Yahweh because it was taken to Rome during the removal of The House of Yahweh (Temple) in Jerusalem, and hidden in Rome for over 1,500 years. Later, the Catholic Church was forced to let a rendition (King James version) of it out to the public but only with the true Names of the Creator, Yahweh and the Savior, Yahshua replaced with the titles Lord and God. 
 
Many hours of research went into restoring The Book of Yahweh, which was made available in 1987 by The House of Yahweh in Abilene, Texas. For more information about the history behind the conspiracy of the Catholic Church to take away the pure word of Yahweh, call, write or email The House of Yahweh.

The craziness continues:

A WORD FROM THE HOUSE OF YAHWEH ARCHIVIST

In the 1970s, Yisrayl Hawkins spoke to his family about reestablishing The House of Yahweh; so, the decision was made to cast lots to determine if it was indeed Yahweh’s will for His Work to begin again. From that very lot casting the keeping of the weekly Sabbath and ordained Feasts at the homestead started. Shortly thereafter, what is now known as the pressroom was built on a ten acre plot on T&P Lane in Abilene TX.

Yisrayl, having worked in a press shop in his youth, alongside seeing the mistranslations in the King James version of the bible, wanted to write a scriptural commentary like the ones he had read in bible college. Therefore, printing would become and continue as a mainstay in the Last Days’ Work of Yahweh.

During the early 1980s, Yisrayl edited the book he had written in 1976, which would be called The Mark of the Beast. His desire had always been to fulfill the Word of Yahweh, as taught to him from the womb. Yahweh’s Two Witnesses, Yaaqob and Yisrayl, had seen the name Yahweh at the very top of the title page of the 1611 King James version in the Hertel bible during the 1950s.

Yisrayl knew from scripture that the message of Yahweh must be preached to all the world (Mattithyah 24:14) and published throughout all nations (Yahchanan Mark 13:10). So while the work was slowly building, it was with those scriptures in mind that Yisrayl used the inspiration of Yahweh to create The Prophetic Word magazine (Yeremyah 23:36).

In all these Prophetic Word Magazines, Yisrayl Hawkins had a sense of urgency in warning the world of what rejecting Yahweh’s Laws will bring, and the peace obtained by accepting and following those same Laws 

And more:

THE RELIGION OF EGYPT WAS AND IS CATHOLIC

The word Catholic means universal, showing they worship all Gods, bar none. However, they do not worship Yahweh because Yahweh is not a God. Yahweh is the Creator and is the only Being responsible for the creation of mankind. Yahweh is the only Being Who has a Plan for mankind. Notice:

GENESIS 1:26

Then Yahweh said: I will make man in My Image, according to My Likeness; they will have Authority over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, over the cattle, and over all the earth and over every creeping thing that creeps upon the earth.

Satan is female:

SATAN AND HER GODS HATE THE POTENTIAL OFFERED TO MANKIND

The serpent and her Gods are not in unity with Yahweh. They had high positions in the universe and left them. They were totally rebellious and undependable. For full details call, write, or email and ask how to acquire the sermons about the sons of Yahweh who left their first estate. 

The words in the Bible that refer to  God and Lord is a Catholic conspiracy.

Satan deceives the whole world? It’s shown in:

GENESIS 3:1-5

1 Now the serpent was more subtle and crafty than any beast of the field which Yahweh had made. And she said to the woman; Has Yahweh indeed said: You shall not eat of every tree of the garden?

2 And the woman said to the serpent; We can eat the fruit of the trees of the garden;

3 But of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, Yahweh has said: You shall not eat it, nor shall you touch it, or you will die.

4 And the serpent said to the woman; You will not surely die.

5 For He knows that in the day you eat of it, your eyes will be opened, and you will be as Gods (elohim), knowing righteousness and evil.

Does that seem at all like the Gods and Satan are in unity with Yahweh? Of course not! When the Roman Catholic Church removed the Name Yahweh and replaced it with the words God and Lord was that at Yahweh’s request? Of course not! 

And more craziness:

The whole world is worshipping Gods today because this religious system removed The Book of Yahweh from the whole world in 70 A.Y. (After Yahshua). At that time, they also murdered about three million Sabbath keepers, and removed the very stones of The House of Yahweh, which they called the Temple, because they hated Yahweh and Yahshua. 

Hawkins's abomination is forbidden reading at the Vatican... 

The Book of Yahweh was only introduced in English in 1987, but it’s still forbidden by the Vatican.  

The Vatican no more cares about Hawkins's abomination than it does about what Bob Thiel preaches. Armstrongite leaders think too highly of themselves. 

I just love it when Armstrongists think they are God's gift to the world and that their writings are so superfantabulous that it ticks off the Catholics (Yes, Bob I am also speaking of you).

The Sabbaths, written in your bible, are a sign between you and Yahweh. That sign is that those who keep these appointments—Yahweh’s Sabbaths and Feasts—belong to Yahweh and have been set apart for Yahweh’s Plan. Satan and the Gods do not want you to keep these appointments; that is, Satan, the Gods, the Coptic Catholics, who called themselves Pharisees, Sadducees, Essenes, and Herodians before they made their move to the seven hills of Rome where they took back the name Catholic. Catholic means universal, showing they worship all Gods and belong to the devil. Read this in your own bible and believe.

I YAHCHANAN 3:4, 7-8, 10

4 Whoever commits sin, transgresses also the Laws; for sin is the transgression of the Laws.

7 Little children, let no man deceive you; he who practices righteousness is righteous, just as He is righteous.

8 He who commits sin is of the devil, for the devil has sinned from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of Yahweh was manifested; that He might destroy the works of the devil.

10 In this the Children of Yahweh and the children of the devil are manifest. Whoever does not practice righteousness is not of Yahweh, and he does not love his neighbor!

You should now start understanding why the popes hate The Book of Yahweh so much and why they did not want it translated for the people. Six million Sabbath- keepers were murdered in Germany alone. Three million were murdered in Israyl in 70 A.Y. when the Pharisees, Sadducees, Essenes, and Herodians made their complete move to Rome.

Right on cue, Hawkins, like Bob Thiel, Dave Pack, Gerald Flurry, and Ron Weinland believed he was one of the two witless witnesses. How many of these looney tunes does the church need in its midst? After all, Samuel Kitchen and Aaron Dean are the two witnesses so we should stop looking for others right now!

The Prophet Daniyl was shown two men preaching the prophecies in this prophesied generation. 
 
DANIYL 12:4-10
4 But you, O Daniyl, shut up the words, and seal the Book to the time of The End; many will run to and fro, and knowledge will be increased.
5 Then I, Daniyl, looked; and behold, there stood two others, one on this side of the bank of the river, and the other on that side of the bank of the river.
6 And said to the man clothed in linen, who on that future day is teaching: How long will it be to the end of these wonders?
7 Then I heard the man clothed in linen, who on that future day is teaching, when he held up his right hand and his left hand toward heaven, and vowed by Him Who lives forever, that: It will be for a time, times, and a half, when Yahweh will have accomplished pouring out His Power through His righteous people, all these things will be finished.
8 So I heard, but I did not understand. Then I said; O my ruler, what will be the end of these things?
9 But he said: Go your way, Daniyl, for the words are closed up and sealed until the time of The End.
10 Many will be purified, and made white, and tried; tested; but the wicked will do wickedly; and none of the wicked will understand, but the wise will understand. 
 
Verses 5-6 – two others teaching. All other prophecies show these two as the Two Witnesses. Yahweh’s Prophet Isayah shows these two brothers are given their names by Yahweh. The younger of these two brothers was born August 28, 1934. 
 
Another prophecy shows the actions of these two brothers, whom Yahweh refers to as My Two Witnesses. The prophecies show the Two Witnesses will bring to the public The House of Yahweh in this same generation. 
 
MICAHYAH 4:1-3
1 But in the Last Days it will come to pass that the mountain; promotion, of The House of Yahweh will be established in the chief of the nations. It will be raised above all congregations; and all peoples will eventually flow to it. 
 
2 And many people will go and say; Come, and let us go up to the mountain; uplifting, of Yahweh, and to the House of the Father of Yaaqob, and He will teach us of His Ways, and we will walk in His Paths. Because the Laws will depart from Zion, and the Word of Yahweh from Yerusalem.

3 And He will judge between many people, and rebuke strong nations afar off; and they will beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruninghooks. Nation will not lift up sword against nation, nor will they learn war anymore.

Did you notice where The House of Yahweh would be established? This prophecy shows The House of Yahweh will not be established in the nation Israyl, but rather in the United States of America.


Addendum:

Is this a valid will for House of Yahweh leader? Yisrayl Hawkins leaves behind 30+ kids, 200 properties, $5 million in assets

Did Jesus Christ ever teach "follow your pastors" and to be pastor chasers!?



The following was on the Non Seventh-day Adventist - never to return Facebook page. Adventistism has the same issues that Armstrongism has, which isn't surprising since we all have the same bad roots in Millerism. 

Pastor chasing has been the face of the Church of God since its very creation. People chased HWA in the 1930's when they broke off from the Stansbury COG. Then, GTA took his groupies with him when he was finally kicked out of the WCG. 

Look at how people followed Rod Meredith from one failed church to the next, in spite of all the corruption that was on display. 

Then, we got to watch as the apostates Dave Pack and Bob Thiel broke off with their own groupies. However, with Bob, it is less about groupies following him than opportunists who saw a gullible American with money who needed his narcissistic ego stroked. One thing is for certain with his African followers, "pastor chasing" is big over there, all thanks to Adventistism and Armstrongism.

This is sure to set Bob Thiel and others off as this is in direct rebellion against their idea of church members kowtowing to their imagined church government power structure.


👉Millions of Christians have placed pastors in front of their lives, when the real Shepherd should be Jesus Christ.
👉Pastors are leaders who want followers. They also want your money. They want you to believe they know and understand truth. They want you to regard them as special. They want your endless lifelong support.
👉 If they were real shepherds, they would point you to Jesus Christ and not to themselves. If they were real shepherds they would follow Jesus Christ, instead of following man-made traditions themselves.
👉 The "clergy/laity" system is a man-made tradition of long standing. Do you know any "pastors" who refuse to have personal followers ⁉️
👉Did Jesus Christ ever teach "follow your pastors" and be pastor chasers ⁉️
👉The purpose driven church would lead you to believe that pastors are your infallible, inerrant spiritual leaders. They would also have you believe that you cannot live without your pastors.
👉The one great fear all church pastors of every persuasion have is that you will STOP following them and their teachings. The reason is because when Christians STOP following pastors, then pastors will lose their power, their prestige, their comfort zone, their free money, their pride, their position, their authority. When this happens, people will only have one chose left either they follow Jesus Christ, or they reject Jesus Christ
👉. Does anyone ever consider that chasing pastors is a rejection of Jesus Christ? Is it complete heresy to say that churches are idols of worship? Do we worship pastors and churches, or do we worship our heavenly Father in Spirit and in truth?
