Apostle Malm and Prophet Thiel: Despisers of the Cross

We all got to see first hand how the Living Church of God hates the cross when we saw Prophet Thiel enraged that citizens were erecting crosses in Milwaukee in honor of the people Terry Ratzman murdered at a Living Church of God service.

Now Apostle Malm has joined the cross hating band wagon.  It's all that willy Constantine's fault that the cross is being used today.  Sorry, make that Satan's fault the cross is used today. Satan told Constantine to use it, at least according to Apostle Malm.

The cross is simply the same thing as the letter “t”. Go to your paper and write the letter “t” in English and you will find that it is a cross. And the letter “t” stood in the mind of Constantine who was a sun worshiper, for the high priest of the sun god; Tammuz. The letter “t” stood for Tammuz. Tammuz was the originator of the worship of the sun. People who worship the sun will tell you, “We do not worship the sun. The sun is merely a symbol. It is a symbol of the light bringer”. And the first high priest of this religion, the first teacher of this religion, the originator of this religion was a man named Tammuz. Tammuz was high priest to the Sun god and the Sun god is only a symbol for the uninitiated, and the initiated know that the sun is merely a representation of the light bringer Lucifer.

Lucifer, the being who rebelled against God and who became his adversary and was renamed Satan, the adversary. Lucifer, the god of this world, who deceives the whole world, used as his symbol the sun, because his original name Lucifer meant “the light bringer”. Now Constantine worshipped the sun. He was a sun worshiper, but being initiated into the highest levels of the hidden mysteries, he was a Satan worshiper, a Lucifer worshiper. The sun was the symbol of his god and the letter “t” or the cross was the symbol of the originator of and high priest of the sun god; Tammuz. In fact the cross was not and has never been the symbol of Christianity. The cross has always been a symbol of the religion of sun worship and of Tammuz.

The cross was later adopted by certain elements within the religion of Rome and accepted and labeled as Christian, but it was not Christian. It is simply relabeled as Christian and has been used to help deceive people into the religion of sun worship. Now Constantine conquered his opposition and assumed the leadership of the Roman Empire in the name of Tammuz, the high priest of the Sun god. And he worshipped the sun until the day of his death; continuing to cast coins throughout this reign dedicated to Sol Invictus, the Invincible Sun. Constantine realized that he had a problem on his hands. The so-called Christians were turning the foundation of the empire upside down. And the more that were killed, the more were converted to that belief. So, that on many occasions the actual executioners were convicted and converted by the example of their victims.

The only problem with Apostle Malm's stupidity is this.  This is the symbol that Constantine supposedly used.  It sure doesn't look like a letter "t."

Apostle Malm: Salvation Only Available Though Him and Perfect Law Keeping

We have Dave Pack declaring that salvation is only available though him and his cult. 

Gerald Flurry says salvation is only available to those who belong to the Philadelphia Church of God.

Apostle Malm says salvation is only available through those that follow his words of warning and are faithful law keepers.  But beware of all the other splinter cults because they are fraudulent lairs who do not follow the law.  Salvation cannot be found in these other groups.  Jesus Christ apparently is not going to do a damn thing for you unless you keep every single law.  Then, maybe, Jesus Christ will find some minuscule part of you favorable and forgive you.

Those who call themselves God’s people, who swell with pride; declaring that   they are Philadelphian Christians, because they are faithful to the teachings   of Herbert Armstrong, have already been deceived and turned away from God..   Because they have allowed some person to come between them and God, they have   gone astray. They are really blind, and wretched and spiritually naked; and   they know it not.

The law will exist as long as matter exists. As long as the heavens and the earth exist, the commandments of God exist and must be fulfilled. They must be kept. They must be done. And in Matthew 19 and verse 17 our Lord also said, “Why callest me good? There is none good but one, that is, God”. Even Jesus Christ said, “I am not good. Only God is good”. It is the Father; and to enter into life, last part of the verse, if you will enter into life; keep the commandments. What commandments? The commandments of God, of God the Father, for we are even told to pray to the Father, “Thy will be done”. And what is His will? “That we do what He tells us, that we do what He says. We are to keep His commandments and we are to pray that His commandments be kept. We are to pray, “Thy will be done”.

It doesn’t work that way. We have to learn to behave now while we are children, before we become spiritual adults. When we are spiritual adults, when we are mature in the things of God, when we are keeping the commandments of God, that is when we will be allowed into God’s kingdom; and not before. If we are NOT keeping His commandments, we are not repentant of sin. We are NOT repenting and turning away from breaking those commandments, the sacrifice of Jesus Christ, which is the key to opening the door to God’s Kingdom and letting us in will NOT be applied to us and we will not be allowed entry into God’s Kingdom.

It all gets so confusing on who is right!  What's a poor COGlet member to do????? A poor church member really has no hope whatsoever of ever making it.

Dave Pack: COG Savior - Salvation Is Only Available Though Him

Dave for some reason thinks he is far more important than he really.  Also, for some reason, he seems to think that the thousands of COG members in the splinter cults will soon be joining him in his most amazing and super fantastic Church of God.

He particularly has it in for Rod Meredith and the Living Church of God.  He has a deep seated hatred for LCG. Could it be, that even LCG saw Dave for the hypocrite he truly is?

Make no mistake—I am trying to JOLT you! Be careful not to sneer at what could save your eternal life! Living Church of God members: With YOUR salvation at stake, YOUR leaders are deceiving thousands about the gospel! Are you included? If so, will you permit this to continue?

Dave thinks he, and only he, is doing the mighty work of God and every single splinter cult out there is an apostate tool of Satan.

Understand. God’s enemies have blown a trumpet. They are now more actively attacking Christ’s gospel, and are, in fact, stoutly defending their false gospel. The stakes are too high to ignore this. And if these enemies feel compelled to publicly defend error, how can I do less with the truth? The lives—the crowns—of God’s people hang in the balance!

Like Paul, I am also set to defend the gospel—the true gospel!—the one the Bible teaches!—the only one Mr. Herbert Armstrong taught!—THE KINGDOM OF GOD! This subject involves crucially important truth! In fact, belief of Christ’s one gospel—“that precise identical Gospel,” as Mr. Armstrong put it in his gospel booklet—is tied directly to receiving salvation! This alone ought to get your attention.

Ron Weinland, Convicted Felon, is Asking Church Members To Try and Influence Judge With Letters

Mike has the following letter on his blog from convicted felon Ron Weinland begging church members to write letters to the court on what a magnificent ministry Ron performs.  Weinland's Impacts

From: “Ron Weinland”
To: elders
Sent: Thursday, June 14, 2012
Subject: To All in the Ministry

Hello to everyone,

This is being sent out to all elders and I am requesting that you pass along this request to members in your area. This should be sent out in a coordinated manner, so please follow the structure of Church government to make certain that all areas get covered.

My lawyer has asked me to send out a request to Church members. It is not requested that everyone respond, but if you have what you believe is a strong story of what has impacted your life by my ministry, and you feel moved to write about it, please send a letter to the address listed below. The purpose for this is for the use of the lawyer in his appeal to the judge concerning my future sentencing if it comes to that time. This is a normal legal process, but this needs to be done immediately if you are going to participate.

Please first read the new post that should be up sometime tomorrow (Friday). It is in the spirit mentioned in that post that you should write–one that reflects God’s way. We are looking for examples of things that have impacted your life like financial assistance or other assistance, help through teaching that has changed your life in some manner or some counseling that has done the same. Perhaps your statement might be about help in overcoming some problem in marriage, addiction, relationships, etc. Your response should contain specifics, while being specific, and not be long and drawn out.

It is requested that nothing be sent that is critical or an attack against the government or the system, and do NOT proclaim anything about your belief in my innocence, injustice, etc. This needs to be done by way of mail and not e-mail, so it is all the more important that this be done quickly. So when you write these letters, you need to mention my name and what it is that I have done which has influenced your life.

Here is the address where you need to send the letters:

Frost Brown Todd LLC
Attn: Bob Webb
{redacted}

Thanks for your help in this matter.
Our love,
Ron & Laura

What Rona and Laura still fail to see, or perhaps are deliberately ignoring, is the fact that at NO TIME did the court, prosecutor or the government go after the church that Ron runs.  Many of the articles in the news media make that fact know in their headlines.  Ron was convicted because of HIS deliberate misuse of funds.  The jurors that comment on Mikes blog also strongly bring this point to the forefront in all their postings.  It was never about the church, it was all about him.

I hope the judge and the prosecutor see through these deliberate distractions and nail his ass for the full extent that the law allows.
