Apostle Malm on Camel Sin







Are you wearing unclean animal skin on your body?  Apostle Malm has this to say about St. John wearing camel skin.

Some have asked about John wearing a coat of camel hair.  In reference to unclean animals it is only their dead bodies which are unclean and not to be touched.  All animals shed hairs and we would all become unclean just by touching a living animal.  There is no command against riding a horse, or touching a dog, or donkey.  The issue concerns the eating and touching of their DEAD bodies.  Camels grow a woolly coat in winter which they shed in spring, or it may be shorn and then woven into fabric. That fabric is NOT unclean because there is NO death associated with it. An actual skin would be unclean because it comes from a DEAD animal.



So a camel skin coat, or boots, or rug would be committing major sin? What about cows and sheep that have their skins tanned and made into clothing and carpets.  Major sin?

I have to wonder how many people reading his drivel actually believe what he writes.  He just gets weirder and weirder as the days go by.

Apostle Malm on Long Winded Sabbath Baby Talk



Apostle Malm is really getting ticked at the women who stand around after 3 hour church services talking about their babies and children.  The Apostle says you should spend less than two minutes talking about your kids.  Longer than that then you are getting close to committing major sin by blaspheming the sabbath by not talking about his mind numbingly daft sermons.


Is watching sports and movies a distraction from God? Of course! Is talking about business and babies after a church service really spiritually edifying and and godly fellowship? Or is it a distraction from the things of God? That said, is simply expressing concern and asking a simple how are the children and spending a minute or two on that wrong? Compared to talking for hours about what the children did during the week. These things are a matter of balance and wisdom; and if we err [we all do from time to time] let us err on God’s side. There is no list of do’s and don’ts except for the major things, like buying and paying others to work for us, or real physical labour: The rest is a matter of judgment and wisdom and following the principle that this is GOD’S TIME, NOT OUR TIME
