LCG Using News Stories To Fit Proof-texts of Scripture

To show how LCG proof-texts scripture to fit it's erroneous prophetic world view, check out the following announcement from LCG dated April 26, 2013.  In  the typical worldview of Armstrongism it can only quote from Hebrew scriptures to reinforce its prophetic stances.  In this case Rod Meredith resorts to using a verse from Leviticus. An obscure verse about highways being desolate automatically is taken into the 21st century and applied to something that has nothing to do with what is being imagined.

Highways Desolate

Bible prophecies warn of curses to come on the Israelite-descended nations because of their outright rejection of God and His laws. One of God’s punishments for disobedience will be “your highways shall be desolate” (Leviticus 26:22). Recent events in the United States and Canada reveal how this prophecy might be fulfilled. Last week in Boston, during a manhunt for a bombing suspect, the city mandated that residents remain in their homes. Businesses were closed, children could not play out of doors, and only police cars and armored vehicles were allowed on streets—the roads and highways were desolate (The New Yorker, April 19, 2013). Concurrently, a portion of the U.S.’s largest “highway”—the Mississippi River—also came to a grinding halt. “Barge shipping on the Illinois River and parts of the Mississippi River will remain impeded until at least early next week as the flood-swollen waterways slowly recede from record- or near-record-high crests” (Reuters, April 23, 2013; Reuters, April 22, 2013). This followed a partial shut-down of river traffic in both August and December of last year, due to low water levels in the river system (Reuters, August 20, 2012; Reuters, December 26, 2012). Also this week, many major U.S. airports experienced significant flight delays due to budgetary furloughs of air traffic controllers (The New York Times, April 23, 2013). In Canada, a plot targeting an international railway train—another highway—was foiled this week (National Post, April 22, 2013). These sobering events provide a glimpse of things to come if our nations fail to return to God.

Apostle Malm: You Need To Be More Concerned About Christ Coming Back To Whip Your Ass Than Satan Attacking You In The Tribulation

Jesus Christ is coming back and he is PISSED!  He is ticked off that COG members are breaking the law and that they do not keep it 100%.  Apostle Malm can, but the rest of the dumb schmucks in the COG apparently can't.  Remember that time you went out after church, before sundown, and had that juicy steak dinner?  Jesus Christ is going to nail you for that!  Bad Sinner!  Bad! Bad! Bad!

Brethren, many think that this coming tribulation is about some angry Satan attacking the righteous people of God.  Nothing could be further from the truth.

It is because of the lack of zeal for the law of God and for his Sabbath that we are called to account and will be rejected by Christ and thrown into great tribulation that the spirit may be brought to repentance and saved by the affliction of the flesh.

Jesus Christ is going to let billions of humans fry in the tribulation because he is so ticked off.  He is going to stand there and do nothing as the sinning filth in front of him writhe in pain and agony before they die.

You elders who do not cry aloud and rebuke sin in the Assemblies, you elders who teach the brethren to sin by saying that Christ will overlook sin:  This very Jesus Christ will allow billions of human beings to be destroyed in the tribulation when he could prevent it!

If you elders teach to tolerate sin for organizational unity, or that Jesus is love and will overlook willful unrepented sin;  You are leading people who believe and follow you to their damnation! It that really the love you claim it is?

Jesus Christ and the Father are love!  because they love us they want us to live eternally with a happy fulfilling lives!  To teach that the sin which corrupts that eternal life and brings suffering and death could be tolerated by the love of God is an incredible blasphemy against the love of God.  Christ will never allow or overlook any unrepented sin!  NEVER!

To teach tolerance for heresy and sin is to mock the Christ who inspired the scriptures.

Like most of the COG's out there today,  Malm is looking with glee as his angry pissed off god starts killing humanity.  The myth that the COG is going to produce two great witnesses that will hold the world accountable is still being promoted by Malm and others.  They want these guys to kill and destroy.  If they don't come to kill and destroy then the entire COG belief system falls apart.

Very soon now God will commission HIS two servants to stand up and do HIS will, by delivering the repentance elect to the place prepared; and by preaching the gospel of warning and repentance to the whole world.  These two will be given great powers like Moses and Elijah to help them fulfill their missions.

Beware all of you grace filled Christians out there. Your filthy lovey-dovey grace is murderous!

They will not be wimpy emotionally immature love love folks.  They will love as God loves; by condemning sin and correcting the unrepentant sinful.  

 When these two pronounce some affliction and thousands die; will you condemn them and reject them?  or will you stand in awe of the power of God manifested in them?  and obey their instructions to KEEP all the teachings, commandments and instructions of Jesus Christ?  Will you remember the miracles that Moses and Elijah did by God’s power, and rejoice that your deliverance and inheritance is nigh?

Will you be one of the ones standing there with shouts of glee as humanity fry's around you?  When little children are  sent to the German concentration camp ovens will you shout with glee?  Malm apparently will.  His god demands it.

We have been made flesh so that we might suffer sin in the flesh and learn to hate sin as much as Jesus Christ hates and abhors sin!  It is sin that separates us from our Lord and our Father in heaven.
To be at ONE with Christ and the Father; we must hate the thing that separates us from them; we must love what they love and hate what they hate.

Anyone who teaches to tolerate differences of doctrine [heresy] from scripture,  or to overlook and leave sin unrebuked; is of their father the devil, and is NOT;  ONE with Christ and the Father of the elect.

Apostle Malm hates the word love with a passion.  Obviously the poor guy has never really experienced it in  his life or from his god.  Bad relationships and a vengeful god makes most COG members miserable sour-pusses and apostle Malm is a prime example.

Beware the emotional love love trap into a false Christ and false religion as warned of by Jude.  Jesus Christ  is going to bring this world to its knees before him.
