David C Pack: Dangler of the Eternal Carrot

 

Jesus returns the Day before Valentines:

 

 

"You won't really have to worry, I don't think, coming into February, whether it will happen this time"

Elijah to Come David C Pack

(Note: For my own view on "The Eternal Carrot" see

Every scripture in the New Testament about the Second Coming of Jesus was spoken to the audience of that day.  The 'shortly', "soon" and "quickly" of the texts was for them and then. None of it was meant for the far future. It was sincere and it was mistaken. Using the scriptures as if they are talking to us or any other generation to come will always end in the same way. 

The brilliance of the New Testament is its being the eternal carrot that keep people focused, not on the present, but on the future, just around the corner and just over the hill if they only believe. 

PS

2 Peter 3:3-4

" Most importantly, I want to remind you that in the last days scoffers will come, mocking the truth and following their own desires.

They will say, “Where is this ‘coming’ he promised? Ever since our ancestors died, everything goes on as it has since the beginning of creation.”

...is not scoffing. It is a simple observation of those days and all days since over the past 2000 years. Yet the author blames the one who notices the reality and then says that they are "willingly ignornant" , which they are not. 

It would be better if those so inclined just said, "You know what? you are right. This shortly, soon and quickly stuff is going long, late and slow. Maybe we should come up with a plan B", which most mainstream, non-literalists denominations have done to this day. 

 

If there was ever a "Dangler of the Eternal Carrot" it is David C Pack

Dave Pack: Our Enemies Are Satanic People!



Someone in Wadsworth is NOT having a good day!

All Splinter Group Ministers Are Like Vultures



Imagine going through life placing your entire identity into a failed dead organization that no longer exists? An organization that has left a trail of damaged and bloodied people in its wake. A trail of untold misery for tens of thousands of people over the decades and yet there are the few that want to resurrect it.

Samuel Kitchen writes:

The identity we received, as the future bride of Jesus Christ, was the Worldwide Church of God. That identifies us SPIRITUALLY.
Now with our ministers going out, after the death of the apostle, and becoming NEW CHURCHES, they knew how to behave like a Church of God. They were taught VERY WELL by the apostle of Jesus Christ! But by creating a NEW and SEPARTE CHURCH, they found themselves without Jesus Christ!
The only tie to Jesus Christ, they have, is back through Herbert W Armstrong and the Worldwide Church of God. As individual ministers and members REMEMBER what they were taught, they reconnect back to their ROOTS. But shortly afterwards, the connection is severed because of THIS SEPARATION. The idea of the necessity of a second or more church of God, is heresy. SO IT CHOKES THE WORD, and the Holy Spirit is constrained and quenched quickly depending on the individual.
The more the individual REMEMBERS what they were taught, the more they go back to it, and reconnect to God. Eventually, if this becomes priority, that individual becomes ONE with the identity of the Worldwide Church of God. Because everything unclean, unholy, and profane is being removed, through a repentant mind seeking obedience to God, they identify more and more with the membership of the Worldwide Church of God, and by listening and supporting Herbert W Armstrong they are becoming ORGANIZED with Jesus Christ IN THIS CHURCH!!!!
This is why some have attempted to control the flow of information. They want to control the collections and libraries of the Worldwide Church of God online, in order to direct the individuals to “other churches”. They continue to propagate the heresy that “another church of God” is acceptable, and that the Worldwide Church of God is no more and dead.
They are like vultures, carrying away part of a carcass, feeding it TO THEIR YOUNG, pieces they've carved out.
