LCG Richard Ames on Deceptive Teachers in the COG

Living Church of God's unoriginal Tomorrow's World rag has an article up about the Devil's Deadly Deceptions. Never has there been a COG that has given more power to "the devil" than LCG has. They live in constant fear of the guy while they ignore the one that has restrained they guy.  Perhaps if they understood the inconvenient dude they claim to follow, they would not be so fearful of the "devil" that currently controls them.

According to LCG, that deceptive "devil" is the one behind all the lying preachers and church leaders in the Church of God, but LCG believes that it is impossible for them to have any deceptive leaders or ministers.

Thanks to Rod Meredith and the Global/Living Church of God, we now have Dave Pack and Bob Thiel's improperly named splinter personality cults. Could there be two more deceptive men in the COG than these two?  Sadly, they top the list, with scores of other liars closely aligned behind them deceiving the brethren.

Deceptive Teachers
Have you ever been deceived? All around us, countless con artists are out to defraud and to steal. Law enforcement agencies continually warn us of scams and deceptive practices that rob unsuspecting victims. But are you on guard against deceptions that come even in the name of Christianity? We read earlier that Satan transforms himself into an angel of light to deceive the innocent and foolish. Satan also has his own ministers. We read, “For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into apostles of Christ” (2 Corinthians 11:13). Just because a man calls himself a minister, or even an apostle, does not mean that his message is from Christ. Such false teachers will suffer the penalty for their false teaching: “Therefore it is no great thing if his [Satan’s] ministers also transform themselves into ministers of righteousness, whose end will be according to their works” (2 Corinthians 11:15). 

Jesus Himself warned that “false christs and false prophets will rise and show great signs and wonders to deceive, if possible, even the elect” (Matthew 24:24). As shocking as this may seem, your Bible warns of religious ministers who appear righteous, but are ministers of Satan. If you are a Bible student, you know that one of Satan’s religious deceptions is false doctrine. The Apostle Paul prophesied that many religious people will seek teachers who preach what they want to hear, rather than teachers who will preach the truth of the Bible. The Apostle Paul exhorted the young evangelist Timothy,

Preach the word! Be ready in season and out of season. Convince, rebuke, exhort, with all longsuffering and teaching. For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine, but according to their own desires, because they have itching ears, they will heap up for themselves teachers; and they will turn their ears away from the truth, and be turned aside to fables (2 Timothy 4:2–4).

Dave Pack: Living Church of God is "utterly of the devil"

I listen to the deceiver leading the Living Church of God. This is a VICIOUS, EVIL, MURDEROUS, BLASPHEMING group of liars that have a certain power over God's people. They are utterly of the devil. They have taught doctrines of demons.

The leaders of the splinters are ENEMIES of the living Jesus Christ. They are a murderous evil group.

Wolves are not circling outside the big organizations. The worst ones are leaving them (Bob Thiel, James Malm) These men have brought a different Jesus and are doing a different work, falsely labeled "God's Work."

Way over a billion dollars has been stolen from the living God by these groups.

God's Apostle Speaks Out: "Women’s breasts, in plain language, were designed by God to nurse babies-not to be flaunted immodestly to arouse lust in men."

Excerpts from a love letter to the women of the church, from The Apostle.

Apparently, COG men have been unable to control themselves.



What I am going to say applies only to a few. Women in God’s Church are different from those of the world. But a very few need severe correction.

I do not mean that even these few go to the extremes of ridiculous fashion so commonly seen in the world. You won’t see any member of God’s Church wearing artificially striped hair, green eyelids, and a purple mouth, decked out in outlandish dress design and overdone wacky jewellery. But, in the category of too short and too tight skirts, and in excessively low-neck dresses, some of you women and girls need a sharp rebuke from God’s ministers!

In both colleges-Pasadena, Bricket Wood, England,- I personally teach a class in Principles of Living. This class includes God’s instruction in regard to SEX and marriage. Sex responses operate in the mind, and the male mind does not react in the same manner as the female mind in relation to sex. Sex consciousness, and arousal, in the male, is brought about much more quickly than in the female, and is stimulated by sight, or even by imagination, in a manner that has little effect on females.

God made the female body to be attractive to the male. This attraction may be, and should be, one of sheer beauty. But also it may be, and under many circumstances often is, a stimulation of LUST. Especially when certain parts of the female figure are emphasized, such as the hips and buttocks by tight skirts, the low neckline exposing portions of breasts, or too-short skirts exposing more than is modest of the female leg.

Candidly, when I see a female with a skirt tight enough to call attention to the shape of her hips, especially when tight below the hips and under the buttocks, I know that she is either careless and needs sharp admonishing or else she is wearing it deliberately to attract male eyes and arouse lust toward her in men’s minds.

Do you want to know my personal reaction when I see such an example? It makes me feel that such a girl or woman needs either a good lecture driven home by a sound SPANKING of what she so brazenly displays, or to be classed as a fallen woman and a common prostitute.

Recently some of our girls and women have been wearing skirts that are entirely TOO SHORT! Often I have felt I ought to speak personally to some of you. If this article does not quickly correct this evil-AND IT IS AN EVIL!-God’s ministers will be instructed to begin speaking personally and in a manner that ought to cause a deep sense of shame and produce a very red face on any girl or woman who invites such sharp rebuke from a Minister of God!

When many of you women wear skirts as high as the knee, and which completely expose the knees when sitting, your skirts are an abomination in GOD’S eyes. I wonder, frankly, if God doesn’t blush when HE sees you! Are you women who do this, deliberately trying to tempt men into breaking the spirit of God’s law against adultery? Are you trying to make yourselves adultresses? Are you not breaking the very spirit of that law, yourselves?

Women’s breasts, in plain language, were designed by God to nurse babies-not to be flaunted immodestly to arouse lust in men.

In the matter of too-tight skirts around the hips, the excuse often is that the girl has taken on weight-and she protests that she cannot help it. But she can help it, and if she is to remain in God’s Church or enter God’s Kingdom, she must-one of two ways: either don’t remain overweight (fasting and proper diet will cure that quickly), or let out the seam.  Good News 1962
