Andrew on Apostle Malm "Once again, out of his own mouth the Apostle contradicts and condemns himself."

Yesterday, the Apostle Malm blogged:

"Today we can be zealous for our God by keeping all of his commandments THAT ARE APPLICABLE TO US and by rejecting the wicked from our assemblies … Today we are to reject the wicked from our assemblies for God to deal with." (Emphasis mine.)

Yes, even the Apostle agrees, some of god's commandments are applicable to us, and, some of them aren't! Let's have a brief look at several examples.

1) Ex 20:8 Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy.

These 8 words have more impact upon how a "true," "zealous," "christian" lives his life than any other. There is no length too extreme to make sure one never tramples holy time with his sandals on. The annual holy days in Leviticus 23 amplify this commandment by adding 7 extra sabbaths. Breaking a sabbath in even the tiniest of ways is sure to get your ass deep-fried in the Lake of Fire. Status: Applicable.

2) Isa 66:23 And it shall come to pass, that from one new moon to another, and from one sabbath to another, shall all flesh come to worship before me, saith the LORD.

Yep, new moons are basically 12 more sabbaths per year. It's not strictly commanded not to work on new moons, but if you're not too busy doing bible study to get nothing else done, it’s possible that could be a sin. "Zealous" "christians" always err on the side of caution in these matters. Status: Applicable.

3) Numbers 10:10 Also in the day of your gladness, and in your solemn days, and in the beginnings of your months, ye shall blow with the trumpets over your burnt offerings, and over the sacrifices of your peace offerings; that they may be to you for a memorial before your God: I am the LORD your God.

Yep, on every sabbath, you are supposed to toot your own horn. If you don't do that, you are NOT keeping the sabbath, and your ass WILL be fried, no question. Status: Applicable.

Now, here's a few commandments that are not applicable:

1) Matthew 23:23 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye pay tithe of mint and anise and cumin, and have omitted the weightier matters of the law: judgment, mercy, and faith: these ought ye to have done, and not to leave the other undone.

Haha, no need to look out for those "weightier matters," because everyone knows that keeping the sabbath is the weightiest matter of the law. Tithing, sure, but mercy? Puh-leez! Good one, Jesus! Status: Not Applicable.

2) Matthew 25:34-46 Then shall the King say unto them on his right hand, Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world: For I was an hungred, and ye gave me meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me drink: I was a stranger, and ye took me in: Naked, and ye clothed me: I was sick, and ye visited me: I was in prison, and ye came unto me...

If you're hungry and naked, this is probably because god is not blessing you, and what's the number one reason why god might withhold his blessings from you? That's right, sabbathbreaking. [Why is the Apostle living below the poverty line?] In the words of the Apostle, we are to "reject" these "wicked" people. Like the Hell’s Angels say, “Kill 'em all and let god sort 'em out.” Better not trample the sabbath with your sandals on, but if you want to trample your fellow man with cleat boots, no problem. Status: Not Applicable. Next!

3) James 1:27 Pure religion and undefiled before God and the Father is this, To visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, [and to keep himself unspotted from the world.]

This is a tricky one. The first half of the verse is not applicable, the second half is! And how do we keep ourselves from being spotted by the world? Stay inside writing your blog (about how everyone who doesn't live exactly like you do will receive eternal damnation) where no one in the world can “spot” you. The "zealous" "christian" treats every day he can like the sabbath, just to be safe. The sabbath: a day of rest, condemnation, and gnashing of teeth. Ahh. Makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside. Visiting people in affliction? Eh, not so much. Status: Not Applicable.

Bonus) Matt 22:36-39 Master, which is the great commandment in the law? Jesus said unto him, [Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. This is the first and great commandment.] And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.

Another tricky one. Some parts are applicable and some parts aren’t. Can you tell which is which? The first great commandment is all good, but love your neighbor? Never heard that one before! Besides, everyone knows the second great commandment is Ex 20:8! Haha. Another good one by Jesus! Status: Not Applicable.

UH OH! Today the Apostle went on a tear about NOT CHERRY-PICKING from scripture! Something the Apostle would NEVER be guilty of! Look at what he blogged today:

"To reject any part of God’s word as NOT APPLICABLE TO US, is to reject the Word of God; which is to reject Jesus Christ! And to reject Christ and God’s Word is the spirit of Antichrist!" (Emphasis mine.)

Once again, out of his own mouth the Apostle contradicts and condemns himself.

Apostle Malm: Satan Is Tricking God Into Killing Us

That tricky dude named Satan is obviously way more powerful than Apostle Malm's little god.  Apostle Malm's god is such a weak idiot that he allows Satan to trick him into killing his sinning children.  Satan is doing everything in his might to make Malm's god really  pissed.  If he can make god really, really angry, god will strike down his rebellious followers and therefore make big bad Satan the winner. The more COG members he can kill off the better.

Satan cannot fight God directly, so he tries to get God to destroy his own people by leading us away from him and into sin and lukewarmness for God and his commandments.
Num 31:16   Behold, these caused the children of Israel, through the counsel of Balaam, to commit trespass against the LORD in the matter of Peor, and there was a plague among the congregation of the LORD.
Balaam had counseled the king to entice Israel into sin so  that God himself would destroy Israel.
Brethren, if we are zealously faithful to the Eternal; God will be for us.

Rom 8:31   What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us?
Therefore Satan uses the tactics of deceiving us into laxity and sin; to bring God’s correction down upon his own people.  And in these last days Satan continues to use this tactic to steal our crowns.

According to Apostle Malm the biggest sin that Satan is causing right now is that COG members use the New International Version of the Bible.  Also, the NRSV, RSV, NKJV are the tools of Satan to deceive the world.  If you have any of the following Bibles then you are being damned to the Lake of Fire:

New American Standard Bible, (NASB), Revised Standard Version, (RSV), and New International Version, (NIV), English Standard Version (ESV), New Living Translation (NLT) and the New King James Version, (NKJV)

Apostle Malm is really ticked that UCG is using the NIV and other translations.

It is reported that  Mario Seiglie has been quoting almost exclusively from modern translations in the local church bulletins for the past year and also making occasional negative comments about the KJV.

What has really ticked off Apostle Malm is that UCG is focusing on "love" and grace instead of the law.  That has sent Apostle Malm into a royal snit fit!  He has been railing against UCG for several weeks now and how they use the NKJV and NIV.

They feed the brethren with the corrupt fruit of the corrupt tree of the Alexandrian Text produced by Babylon, to lead you into laxity and doctrinal drift; to follow themselves and their agenda instead of the commandments of God.

UCG NEWS:   Head of the UCG Doctrinal Committee, Bob Berendt;  has come out supporting the spurious Alexandrian text and New Age translations against the Received Text.

So what's a poor KJV Only to do?

Today we can be zealous for our God by keeping all of his commandments that are applicable to us and by rejecting the wicked from our assemblies, or if the wicked dominate, then we are to come out of such assemblies and seek our God and other like minded persons..
Today we are to reject the wicked from our assemblies for God to deal with.

Kick them out.  Disfellowship them, mark them.  Spit on them like god is spitting on them as he fries their asses in the Lake of Fire.  Yes, keeping the law to the letter certainly does make a person a really loving person.  As usual, Jesus Christ is totally missing from the Apostle's blatherings.

Satan Attacks Big Sandy Campus

Satan was on a rampage in Texas this week as he tried to burn down the old Worldwide Church of God convention hall.  With the demolition going on in Pasadena, maybe Satan has plans to get rid of Big Sandy too......As we all well know this is a satanic conspiracy to do away with another remnant of the Churches of God glory days.

UPDATE: Wiring likely caused fire at ALERT Academy

BIG SANDY (KYTX) - UPDATE: Investigators believe electrical wiring caused a fire at the ALERT Academy in Big Sandy tonight.

Those with ALERT say a fire started around 5 in the convention center.

The ALERT Academy is known for hosting Christian camps and some people planning an upcoming event had to evacuate when the fire started.

Those with the academy tell our partners at the Tyler Mooring Telegraph they're working with the fire marshal to re-open the convention center.

EARLIER STORY:

(TYLER MORNING TELEGRAPH) - Crews Responding To Report Of Fire At ALERT Academy In Big Sandy

The ALERT Academy and Big Sandy fire departments are working a structure fire at the academy's convention center.

Col. John Tanner with the academy said the fire started at the front end of the center above the bathrooms. Flames and smoke were visible.

Tanner said people were working in the convention center getting ready for a conference next week, but everyone was able to get out of the building.

The ALERT Academy is a 90,000-square foot facility used for conferences and family camp in the fall.

Herbert Armstrong is STILL Sitting In The Seat......

E W King just gets wackier by the minute.  According to King, HWA had a near death experience and was resurrected.  Herb supposedly experienced a short period of "death" which translates over to the WCG experiencing a form of "death" between January  1986 and October 2011.  On October 7, 2011 the Worldwide Church of God was resurrected with Herbert Armstrong STILL sitting in the seat.

Mr. Herbert W. Armstrong's death experience in 1977 represents the time of confusion between the time of his actual death in January 12,1986 up until October 7,2011. God wants us all to learn an object lesson from this portion of the apostles life that has to do with where we are at today. Just as when Mr. Armstrong experienced a short time of death then arose to continue the work...so the Worldwide Church of God experienced a short time of “death” before it, on October 7,2011, was resurrected. Mr. Armstrong is still in the seat! The Worldwide Church of God is still here in the ministry of “Church of God ~ Speaking to the Remnant”.

Then King has to admit he is full of bull:

Unfortunately this title [The Worldwide Church of God] cannot be used in regards to a legal organization because it is still owned by the apostates. This does not prevent free Christians from using it as a title for what they truly believe.

When Will LCG Actually Do Something Beneficial For The World?

Rod Meredith has a new coworker letter out.  In it he says:

The world around us is rapidly changing. Many millions of people, right now, are being persecuted or uprooted from their homes, suffering the loss of their jobs or having families come apart. Millions are increasingly unsure as to whether there is a “real” God. And so, most of these untold millions of human beings have no sense of genuine purpose for their lives. Increasingly, many of them just “give up”—turn themselves over to alcohol or drugs, or simply decide to “end it all” by suicide.

So when will the Living Church of God actually do something to help these hurting people? Instead of talking about a "strong hand from someplace" and getting rid of the stupid assumption, that "God will fix things later so we don't need to worry about it right now" perhaps they could start working in homeless shelters, helping abused women and children, serving in food banks.  How about donating 10% of your annual church income to help the less fortunate?  Since you are rich and increased with goods, would this be the Christian thing to do?

Did it ever occur to these people that maybe God is wanting them to be his hands and feet in this world to take care of the less fortunate in order to give them a foretaste of the kingdom of God?  Nope, I don't think so either.

Who is Rod talking about being persecuted?  He already claims the LCG is being persecuted for its message.  Christians are dying in Muslim nations as martyrs while LCGers whine about being kicked off a TV station or people throwing their magazines in the trash.

He then writes this appalling comment:

My friends, if these men and women had truly understood the supreme purpose which the Eternal God is working out here on this earth, they would not have killed themselves! If you truly set yourself to “seek” the true God of the Bible and fulfill His purpose in your life, then each day, each major world event and even each personal trial can have a sense of meaning. If you genuinely study the whole Bible and ask God for understanding, the major world events will definitely help you “see” God’s purpose as it is being worked out here among men and nations.

What an absolutely callous thing to say!  What about the COG members who have heard the so called "truth" over the years and even preached it, and have then committed suicide?  What about Terrry Ratzman that murdered LCG members?  What about Dibar Apartian's son who blew his brains out because of the way he was treated in the church? He heard that same message that Rod is spouting as most life saving.  For Terry, and most others in the COG's there is no hope offered.  Only myriads of rules and laws that when broken lead to eternal damnation in the Lake of Fire.

So what is that miraculous message that LCG is preaching to the hurting of the world?

This:

In the pages of our Tomorrow’s World magazine and on the Tomorrow’s World television program, we have told you repeatedly of the Big Picture events soon to come: a rising United States of Europe, a revived Roman Catholic church with increasing influence on religion and world affairs, a coming federation of Arab states—the prophesied “King of the South” mentioned in Daniel 11:40—the “grinding down” of the pride and prestige of the American and British-descended peoples, plus soon-coming major earthquakes even in our nations, along with increasing storms, disease epidemics, alternating drought and floods leading finally to hunger and ultimate starvation for millions.

 and this:

Also, we have told you repeatedly that the Creator God will use human instruments to powerfully warn our peoples of what lies just ahead and help those who are willing to repent of their sins and seek the genuine protection which our Father in heaven offers to those who are willing to truly surrender themselves to the “real” God of the Bible. Most of you long-time subscribers and TV viewers have seen or heard us say these things repeatedly.

Yes sirree Bob!  Lots of hope there!

Then he has the gall to ask:

The question is: What are you, personally, doing about it?
