Dale Schurter, the back-stabbing defector from United Church of God is back again after another stint in Dave's reeducation camp. Dale sends a letter to all of the folks in United and elsewhere extolling the glorious Dear Leader and his message. Dale also wants you to know several important facts:
1) The
government of God is not found in any splinter group: Every Church of God out there
in the land of Laodicea is an apostate false church that is unfit for
membership in. Only
by being in the Restored Church of God can you come under true government where
the Dear Leader can reeducate you into blind submission.
This government has specific offices Christ placed into the Church: “And He
gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some,
pastors and teachers; for the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the
ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ: till we all come in the unity
of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God…” (Eph. 4:11-13).
None
of the splinters faithfully hold to this understanding, restored in the
twentieth century!
2)
The splinters have
either watered down or rejected the place of safety doctrine:
A place of protection is promised to “the woman,” the true church—and only
to that one, unified, organized body of believers: “And to the woman were given
two wings of a great eagle that she might fly into the wilderness, into her
place, where she is nourished for a time, and times, and half a time, from
[away from—out of reach of] the face of the serpent” (Rev. 12:14).
All of you folks in UCG and other splinter groups you need to wake up to the
fact your ass is grass.
You are never going
to Petra.
It is reserved for Dave and
crew.
Of course Dave will be outside in
the Marriott while the dumb sheep are starving to death inside.
3) Divorce and remarriage has been liberalized: Most
splinters now exercise their own convenient, man-made theology when it
comes to divorce and remarriage. It has become common practice in many
splinters to allow the divorcing of a mate who departs from his or her
“organizational fellowship” to another “COG,” with the remaining spouse
then deemed free to marry again within their present organization,
regardless of other circumstances. Others allow someone who has jumped
ship to their COG organization to be free to divorce and marry again within his or her “new” group.
4)
The splinters have lost sight of what was
and was not God’s Church through history: Among the splinters,
the line between the Church and the world—between the children of light and the
children of darkness—becomes blurrier all the time. Many have forgotten who the
true people of God were in each era, and who were the illegitimate “splinters”
and offshoots—which have virtually always existed, beginning in the Ephesian
era.
With over 700 some splinter groups pout here now, all believing they are the
one and only true church it is hard for the average COGer to know here to
go.
Defector Dale wants you to know that
the true church is the one and only Restored Church of God under the leader
ship of Dave.
Only by joining forces with Dave, sending in your money, and submitting to
your overlords, can your salvation be assured.
So step right up and surrender your brain and reasoning to the lord and
master.
To be a part of those who are used to finish God’s Work, and are delivered
from the face of the devil during the soon-coming Great Tribulation, this
knowledge—and the action that is demands of those who prove it—is essential.
