Armstrongism Relied on a Gynecologist To Predict Famine in the 1970's

Living Armstrongism has a great little piece up today concerning Armstrong's use of a gynecologist in predicting an unspeakable famine in the US in the mid 1970's.

Living Armstrongism says:

Who on earth listens to a gynecologist to listen to (inaccurate) alarmist assertions that famines will occur in the 1970s and takes them seriously? The leaders of "God's Church" producing the Plain Truth magazine. That's who.

And to think many people think of WCG before Garner Ted Armstrong's initial suspension in 1972 as a glorious utopia of people united under HWA and having far more truth than anyone else on the Earth. And their leaders at the time were foolish enough to publish something like this.

The Messianic-Kabbalist Pastor General Lope Columna Says Voyager 1 Spacecraft is Signalling a New Beginning of Revelations From God

Recently Voyager 1 moved into interstellar space on its endless journey to worlds beyond.  While it has many fascinating scientific discoveries yet to reveal, it has revealed a religions one...at least in the mind of a former Armstrongite.

PHYSICAL SCIENCE: A NEW BEGINNING OF SPACE EXPLORATION HAS BEGUN! SPIRITUAL SCIENCE: A NEW BEGINNING OF GOD'S NEW REVELATIONS HAS BEGUN!

As the entry of Voyager 1 spacecraft to the Interstellar Space of the Universe signals a New Beginning of Space Exploration, so the entry (revelation) of the TRUE RELIGION with its TRUE GOSPEL to Earth signals the NEW BEGINNING OF GOD'S WONDERFUL WORK. The TRUE RELIGION, which is the religion of Jesus Christ, is never known by Man since his ejection from the Garden of Eden, until now!

In other words, the New Era of God's Heavenly Work on Earth, has just begun; in preparation for the glorious return of the King Messiah (Jesus Christ) to rule the whole Earth and the Universe!

So, God's Work in Heaven and on Earth, is now to function at Full Power! This is the "OUTPOURING" of God's Messianic Kabbalah revelations about His deep and high Secrets and Mysteries of His Kingdom, and all Creation as prophesied by the Prophet Joel (Joel 2:28-30)! 

This NEW BEGINNING OF GOD'S NEW WONDERFUL WORK is of much grandeur and significance than the physical (scientific) achievement of NASA and all of Mankind! But these two realms (Heaven and Earth) are now converging into one, and into one environment -- the Interstellar Space of God's Heavens!

Similar to the exit of Voyager 1 from the Solar System, this Greatest Revelation from Heaven started several years ago, but was finally made clear and completed only this September 2013, when the Great Mystery of God's Messianic Kabbalah Wisdom and the Great Mystery of Marriage were fused into one.

 And Church of God folk still claim that the Church of God is the most sane church on earth.

Global Church of God: Stoning Has Not Been Done Away With

Legalism does dangerous things to the theological bankrupt men of Armstrongism.  Norbert Link of the Global Church of God/Church of the Eternal God says:

Christians today are not to carry out the physical penalties of the Old Testament (such as stoning) against others.

On the other hand, no New Testament passage indicates that those Old Testament laws, as set forth in Leviticus 19:19 or Deuteronomy 22:11, are no longer binding.

If Norbert thinks stoning has not been done away with then almost every single COG leader and evangelist (and their children) would be dead right now because of their peccadillo's.

Jumping Through Norbert Link's Many Hoops To His Hidden God...If You Even Can

Raymond McNair had no idea the silliness he would spawn by stabbing Rod Meredith in the back and kicking him out of the Global Church of God.  Reading Norbert Link's nonsense makes it clear as to why Raymond and Eve McNair got on their knees in front of Rod Meredith and begged "with trembling lips" to be forgiven and admitted back into the truth.

Here is some of the stuff that Link covers in his latest booklet: "Hidden Secrets in the Bible"

Synonymous Parallelism
Identical Synonymous Parallelism
Similar Synonymous Parallelism
Introverted Parallelism
Antithetic Parallelism
Combination of Introverted and Antithetic Parallelism
Synthetic Parallelism
Climactic Parallelism
Emblematic Parallelism
Emblematic Parallelism WITH a link
Emblematic Parallelism WITHOUT a link
Palilogical Parallelism
THE ACROSTIC DEVICE 

Whew!  All of that is in the very first chapter!  As if ANY COG member gives a rats ass about such things.  Only cult leaders attempting to establish their "intellectual superiority" over the dumb members are the ones really concerned.  Students in a REAL seminary might find it interesting too, but not so with most Christians.

Chapter 2 is all about numerology.  Numerology has always been big in Armstrongism, from ministers to lay members.  People were always seeking to find hidden meaning in dates and numbers.  Just look at Geoff Neilson and Neville Stevens, two of the greatest Armstrongite proponents of numerology and gematria today.

Chapter 3 is all about the hidden meaning in the Psalms.  Its all about finding hidden prophecy in the book of Psalms and its meaning for the church today.

As usual with Armstrongism, the booklet focuses only on Hebrew Scriptures.  They never can seem to find any meaning, obvious or hidden, with Jesus or what he accomplished.  Instead they focus on Assyro-Babylonian divination to find meaning to their endless search of prophecy.
