James Malm: Boys MUST Be Circumcised On 8th Day and Mothers Are Unclean for 40 Days Unless You Were Stupid Enough To Have a Girl, Then Its 80 Days

The uber-legalist bullshitter is back today expounding on Leviticus.  He cant talk about  Jesus Christ, but spends every waking moment talking and writing about the law.

Today he is extolling the virtues of circumcision and unclean women.

Leviticus 12 is about childbirth and the purifying after childbirth.

12:1 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, 12:2 Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, If a woman have conceived seed, and born a man child: then she shall be unclean seven days; according to the days of the separation for her infirmity shall she be unclean.

We are commanded to circumcise our sons on the eighth day of their life.  The eighth day represents a new beginning and circumcision is an allegory of the removal of the sin that separates people  from God, making them sensitive to the whole word of God and reconciling them to God.

 This is an allegory of the spiritual circumcision that truly reconciles all humanity to the Father; which is completed when all humanity has repented and had the atoning sacrifice of Christ applied to them, being spiritually circumcised and reconciled to the Father. 

Circumcision pictures the Eighth Day Feast representing all humanity being in spirit and going forward into eternity with the Father.  This will be explained much more during the coming fall Festivals.

During this eight days the unclean mother is to be in seclusion:

The mother must remain in seclusion for another 33 days making the total of 40 days.  The forty days being the period of purifying before entering the presence of God [the tabernacle, temple or any holy place].   See Moses two, forty days of fasting before entering the presence of God; and the forty day fast of Christ before his trial to prepare him for his mission.

Let me also say that such a seclusion is of great benefit to the mother and child; giving them time in a close family home environment to bond and to recover from the birth and develop immunity to disease.  Breast feeding is highly important for this bonding and natural immunization process.  

One should never allow the child to be artificially immunized by physicians since this is known to cause autism and a variety of other issues like SIDS; and should avoid baby formulas unless the mother cannot nurse; then the first choice should be a converted wet nurse [with a biblical diet] and not formula.

If the woman was stupid enough to have a female child she is to be considered unclean for double the amount of time.

12:4 And she shall then continue in the blood of her purifying three and thirty days; she shall touch no hallowed thing, nor come into the sanctuary, until the days of her purifying be fulfilled.
If a female child is born the mothers separation shall be double that of a male child.

66 days plus two weeks is 80 days.  My wife and I practiced this by mutual consent for each of our four children.

We make these sacrificial offerings by going to the Father in prayer and asking that the sacrifice of Christ be applied to us, and asking for an understanding of these things.

For those women out there that don't want children, or are delaying children, in Malm's world you are a filthy sinner.  His god COMMANDS that you reproduce, and reproduce, and reproduce

A sin offering for the shed blood; which goes back to Eden where sin and bloodshed entered the world and a burden was placed on women for that sin, as a perpetual reminder of sin, Gen 3:16; the sin offering, being the application of Christ’s sacrifice for the repentant obedient woman.  And a burnt offering to  demonstrate the wholehearted faithful service to the Father of Jesus Christ and those of like-mind.  For the woman is commanded to reproduce, and childbearing  is a great service to the Father, for a woman gave birth to Messiah the Christ, the Deliverer of humanity.

James Malm: Heathen COG's Will Be Keeping Trumpets On Wrong Day

God's greatest living apostle (after Dave Pack, of course) is James Malm.  He has declared that the TRUE Feast of Trumpets will begin at sunset on Saturday, September 7th and go through Sunday, September 8th.  It is also very important that all TRUE followers of Malm have adequate food and drink on hand because they will not be able to prepare any food for the feast because it is a double sabbath weekend.  Only heathen God haters  would dare go out to a restaurant on these two days!

Notice all the legalistic bullshit that Malm has to go through in order to keep the one true day:

The Feast of Trumpets this year will begin at sunset on Saturday September 7, 2013 and continue until sunset on Sunday September 8, 2013. 

Make sure that you are prepared and have enough food and whatever else you may need, for the Sabbath and the immediately following High Day.

The new moon will not even be potentially visible in Judea on Friday evening, Visibility is impossible from Israel on September 6, 2013 . 

The new moon will be easily visible from Israel on Saturday night September 7, 2013; making Sunday the Feast of Trumpets. 

Also the last new moon was sighted from Israel on Thursday night August 8, 2013. This makes Saturday night September 7 the 31st evening from the previous sighting. Since a lunar month can only be 29 or 30 days long, Saturday night has to be the Feast of Trumpets  by default, whether or not the moon is actually sighted.

Friday night: there will only be 21 minutes lagtime from sunset ;with 1.58% illumination.  the moon will not be seen over Judea in any case since its limit of visibility is south of Judea.

Saturday night: 58 minutes lagtime; 5.17% illumination and a more northerly position, makes a sighting of the first visible light in Judea very easy.

Bob Thiel: Jesus Who? My Church Will Be Reading The Law and Tooting Our Horns On The Feast of Trumpets

Those fun loving Jesus freaks over at the Continuing Ed Church of God will be reading the law all day on Thursday, September 5th.  No talk about that embarrassing dude called Jesus Christ, but plenty of law, law, law.

Bob Thiel, along with James Malm, feel that it is important to toot some horns on Trumpets.  These are not to be any kind of horn, but a rams horn.  However, there is one huge distinction between Thiel's "feast" day and Malm's "feast day.  They are keeping different days.  Thiel, like most COG's will be doing it on September 5th.  Malm, will be doing his horn tooting starting sunset September 7th and all day on Sunday the 8th..

Thiel believes that people should be blowing horns across the country on Thursday.

In our family, we normally have our youngest child blow on some type of trumpet to mark the beginning of the Feast of Trumpets, as well as to blow the trumpet off and on throughout the Holy Day. And although the Bible does not specify where the trumpet blowing should take place (hence I believe it should happen throughout the lands where the faithful live), I did find it interesting to learn that there was a specific place in Jerusalem that trumpeting was designated.

Thiel also made another claim that when creation happened it was fall time.  He believes this because some "sabbath keepers" in Transylvania believed creation happened in the fall.

Christian Sabbath-keepers, by the way, kept the Feast of Trumpets throughout history. Notice for example, that the Sabbath-keepers in Transylvania in the 1500s (and probably later) kept the Fall Holy Days such as the Day of Atonement and the Feast of Trumpets (called Day of Remembrance below):

The Sabbatarians viewed themselves as converted Gentiles..They held to the biblical holidays…The Day of Atonement was a day of fasting, although they emphasized that pentinence is more easily achieved by a peaceful and quiet meditation on the law and one’s life than by fasting. The Day of Remembrance (New Year, which they celebrated in the Fall of the year) was the day on which they thanked God especially for the creation of the universe. (Liechty D. Sabbatarianism in the Sixteenth Century. Andrews University Press, Berrien Springs (MI), 1993, pp. 61-62).

Some of the Jewish teachers taught that the creation was most likely in the Fall, rather than in the Spring because in Genesis 1:11 when God states, “Let the earth bring forth grass, the herb that yields seed, and the fruit tree that yields fruit”, this would be the Fall, for that is when there is both grass and fruit on trees), that the Feast of Trumpets symbolized the beginning of creation, and hence by, inference, life. The creation was likely in the Fall and various scriptures imply it (though this is not specified verbatim in scripture).

Team Ephraim Beats Team Manasseh By 4-0 In The 4th Annual Joseph Cup

Just when you think Armstrongism cant get any sillier, along comes the Flurryites and their soccer championship called Joseph Cup.  This earth shattering event is held annually on the cult compound in Edmond, OK.

EDMOND :: Philadelphia Church of God—Team Ephraim defeated Team Manasseh on August 22 by a score of 4-0 in the fourth Joseph Cup soccer match. It was the first victory for Team Ephraim in the history of the friendly rivalry between Herbert W. Armstrong College students and other PCG members held annually on the HWAC campus pitch.

The match is named after the father of biblical brothers Ephraim and Manasseh. Team Ephraim consisted of players from Britain and its current or former Commonwealth nations, including Australia, New Zealand, Canada, South Africa, and Zimbabwe. Manasseh was made up of players from eight American states.

The game was characterized by solid teamwork from the Ephraimite squad, which passed the ball effectively and kept its players spaced out. The Manassite forwards struggled to penetrate its defensive line, not registering a single shot on goal.

James Malm: If You Touch An Unclean Insect You Must Bathe To Purify Yourself And Remain Unclean Till Sunset

Did you kill that fly today with a flyswatter?  Did you step on that spider?  Did you have some larvae for lunch?  If you did, you are filthy disgusting sinner in the sight of Malm's god.  You must go take a long hot bath and remain unclean till the sun sets tonight.  Evil sinner!

INSECTS

11:20 All fowls that creep, going upon all four, shall be an abomination unto you.
11:21 Yet these may ye eat of every flying creeping thing that goeth upon all four, which have legs above their feet, to leap withal upon the earth; 11:22 Even these of them ye may eat; the locust after his kind, and the bald locust after his kind, and the beetle after his kind, and the grasshopper after his kind. 11:23 But all other flying creeping things, which have four feet [but do not have legs to leap with], shall be an abomination unto you.

To  even touch the carcase [dead body[ of an unclean creature; becomes unclean and must bathe and be unclean until the sun is set.
