The Legacy of Arianism, Part 3

 

Nicaea: The Brothers Met Here Long Ago 

 

The Legacy of Arianism, Part 3

Scout’s Anti-Arianist Manifesto

 

“I’m your huckleberry.” – Apostle Paul, paraphrase of Galatians 1:15

Here is another chapter on Arianism.  (What did you think was going to happen?)  I believe that God is Triune and is comprised of three co-equal God Persons who have a special existential unity with each other as a part of their nature. I may or may not conform in belief to the Nicene documents – I have never read them.  I am still reading about how the brothers arrived at their conclusion back around 400 AD.  For my part, I believe the God Persons are ontologically co-equal because I believe that the Beings who belong to the God category are absolute by virtue of Creatio ex Nihilo.  They can create reality.  Beings who can create reality from the outside are not bound by any of the real limits from the inside that we know.  And you can’t compare absolute beings with each other.  They are not measurable and relative as we are. Someone who is absolute can’t be more absolute than someone else who is absolute. There cannot be a greater God and lesser God.  If a being is lesser, that being is not God.  The Church of God Seventh Day, at the time HWA joined it, did not believe Jesus to be God.  HWA acknowledged that Jesus is God but relegated him to a secondary role as if Jesus were a relative being like us. So, while Armstrongism asserts that humans will become God-as-God-is-God, it does not accord that same status to Jesus.  I think that maybe Armstrongists believe, as I do, that God Persons are different in economy but not in ontology.  But it is hard to say.  You cannot find the words “ontology” and “economy” in Armstrongist writings about God. They never carried their Doctrine of God very far and now HWA is dead and his death pretty much fixed their theology at a certain point in history.  If one goes by what Armstrongist authors have written, one would have to conclude that the Son is smaller than the Father both in ontology and in economy since no distinction is made.  And to say that Jesus is smaller is another way of saying that Jesus does not really belong in the God category because being smaller makes him relative rather than absolute.  For Arianists of different sorts, Jesus might even be angelomorphic. And the aspect of Arianism called Subordinationism (a little god subordinate to a big god), then, is held as true by Armstrongism.  As for the Holy Spirit, Armstrongism makes him an impersonal attribute of God.  (Whether an attribute of the Father or the Son, I don’t know. They are separate God beings in Armstrongism. The only unity in the Godhead that Armstrongism admits is that of a family relationship. And a human family is a biological collection of separate, non-consubstantial beings.) If the Holy Spirit is simply an inherent attribute of God, then when the Holy Spirit is mentioned in the OT and NT, he is just a redundancy.  Like saying, “Ralph and his nose visited us.”  You can just assume that if Ralph is there, his nose will be, too.   And the redundancy converts the Bible into an example of really bad writing.  In the last analysis, I reject Arianism and agree with what the brothers decided, as far as I know it, at the Councils of Nicaea and Constantinople.   I do believe that some of what the brothers concluded is conjectural.  But, one day, Paul promises us, this will all be settled and we will no longer see through a glass darkly.  And for this present shootout, Paul is our huckleberry.

"We Have Preserved the US Constituion As We Fight The Nazis and FEMA Who Are Destroying The Church"

 


Its another day in COG La-La land and things are just as bat shit crazy as every other day. Is there anything NORMAL in COGland?

We can see why they have spent so much money and years targeting the membership of the Worldwide Church of God, to eliminate the facilities we had, in order to bring membership under certain laws, agreements, regulations in other groups. The battle in the receivership, was won, and the Worldwide Church of God was dignified and distinguished from all other churches.
We actually are the holdouts who have preserved the United States constitution.
To the government, the churches are assets that need to be ”handled”. So we see FEMA and Homeland Security involved in this sort of thing.
And now we see a takeover of the Administration of the United States by men in 3 piece suits.
Also, this same government is releasing old files on past national sins, as some sort of PENANCE.
We also have news showing declassified papers, showing Hitler lives long after WW2, and fled to South America.
The Worldwide Church of God in the 1950’s published this truth and fact. The United States brought those of the Nazi regime into our infrastructure (Operation Paperclip) and since then we have used ample time to build up that leg of the beast system, for the final resurrection of the Holy Roman Empire, following Joseph Franz Strauss’ plan to use the United States for a colossus that can prop up a rebuilt and united Europe!
Now we might be seeing the man, and Trump is of German descent through his father, that may be supported by nations in Europe, to expand on the corporation of this United States.
The old nation is no more. Those that hate us rule us. And we flee when no one pursues. It’s all propaganda and fake news, and with A.I coming out stronger we are being manipulated to disbelieve the truth and to wonder about things.
It was Mr.Trump who establish an embassy in Jerusalem. He is now looking at Iran, and Yemen, which cover the area where middle eastern oil comes out of.
He is concerned about tides from the north and the east. Russia and China.
And he is using our relationship with Israel, to “enter the glorious land”, and build his tabernacles even in Gaza.
But in order to move into the next phase, he needs European military support.
Now could he be the man who will become the Beast? Or is he being used, for the boogeyman and enemy of Europe? Because false wonders and miracles, will try to convince people to worship the beast and its image, and the woman (Rome) that controls it.
In order to claim to be Jesus Christ, the Papacy may stir up a rival to “put down”.
So we can possibly see that occurring, or we may be seeing the fall of our nations, and the people who will use the organization/corporation against us!
Remember brethren, what happened to this Church! In the 1979 receivership, they audited all assets, and wanted to liquidate them.
Today we are seeing with DOGE, an audit and closures of previous operations, just as you would see in a Receivership!
And a receiver has been placed, it seems, by the military which has a close relationship in the past with the Nazi Regime after World War Two.
I don’t hear that being said anywhere else! That’s why coming back as the Worldwide Church of God is imperative, because we have this history already established through Herbert W Armstrong, who distinguished us from all other entities! He was the Zerubbabel who was given an open door to raise up the Temple, which is this Church, using the Bill of Rights and a friendship with Ronald Reagan(the last president, some would say, of the old United States of America).
So it was made a precedent in law, concerning the independence of the Worldwide Church of God!
None of these other “C.O.G” groups working with FEMA, have such! They undid it, and like C Wayne Cole was going to do with the 1979 receivership, they opened the doors and made Caesar Lord and Master.
People have bled and died, because Satan wanted this Church to be destroyed!
It’s time to wake up people!

Dave Pack Dishes Out His 125th Prophetic Lie





During "The Greatest Untold Story! (Part 564)" given on March 22, 2025, David C. Pack of The Restored Church of God taught that Christ would return on Passover this year. 

If Jesus Christ had returned, it would have occurred at sunset on April 11, 2025. 

By Part 569 on April 5, Passover was no longer a certainty. 

This was the 125th prophetic failure in a row for David C. Pack. 

This video is a compilation of selections from Parts 564, 568, and 569.

RCG Member Leaves $700,000 To Church, Dave Then Smears Man In Sermon

 


During "The Greatest Untold Story! (Part 536)" September 18, 2024, David C. Pack of The Restored Church of God explained that Common (the teaching to "sell all") is a command from God, 
like keeping the Sabbath. 

He explained that a member who died left all his money to the church, but he would get no credit in God's sight because the man did not act in faith.
 
Mario Furtado died in February 2024 and left RCG his estate valued at $700,000. 

Dave then accused him of "not giving a dime" while he was alive. 

Every member of The Restored Church of God gives at least 20% each year and another 10% every three years. This is on top of Holy Day offerings, fundraisers, and free-will offerings.
