COG Pharisee Claims to Know How Jesus Became Human




From the Chief bastardizer of the law, James Malm:

Was Jesus God? 
  • Before being made flesh and being placed in the womb of Mary; he was the very Implementing Creator God! 
  • After he was made flesh, he had voluntarily  given up his Godhood and he became a 100% physical human being!
  • At his resurrection, this man of flesh was restored back to his original state as a spirit God! 
All of the imaginations of men that Jesus was half man and half God or the fantastic idea that Jesus was both 100% man and 100% God are simply nonsense. 
He was ALL God until he gave up has Godhood to be made flesh, and once made flesh he was a 100% physical human being, then after he died he was resurrected back to spirit and became a God again! 

How was this done? 
Think; vapor, liquid, solid; being different states of the same thing. 
God is spirit and spirit is pure energy, matter is made out of energy.  God the Father simply transformed the Messiah from pure energy to matter and then placed him inside the womb of Mary as the tiniest possible form of human being.  He then grew from that to birth and then to the age of 33 when he allowed himself to be sacrificed to atone for sin and redeem humanity from the wages of sin which is death. 

Lots of squishing and smashing going on heaven to get Jesus down to sperm size!

Jesus Christ the eternal High Priest gave up his divinity to become mortal flesh and offered up himself as the Creator of Humanity, who being worth more that all humanity and being without any sin; was a perfect sacrifice and needed be offered only once to atone for all the sincerely repented sins of all humanity. While the physical sacrifices of animals only served to keep people in the physical Mosaic Covenant and had NO spiritual promises, and animals needed to be killed on a continual basis.
Our High Priest, Jesus Christ will now live forever and will be able to make continual intercession for us, for all eternity.  His sacrifice being perfect, no longer has to be made again and again. He doesn’t have to be killed day after day, year after year. No!However, every time someone repents, that perfect sacrifice needs to be REAPPLIED to the repentant sinner.The difference is in the actual dying as opposed to the actual applying of the sacrifice. They are two different things.
Christ died, regardless of whether any man ever repents or not. He was dead and He was resurrected. That has nothing to do with whether men repent, or turn from sin or not. However, when men do sincerely repent, the sacrifice is now there and available to be applied to them.

LCG: "...God’s people will be persecuted for their beliefs..."



Living Church of God has an entry on its website about the soon coming persecution of LCG members. It is a call to action for LCG members to stand up for their faith and to defend it against those that persecute the church.  Doug Winnail's comments are in sharp contrast to Gerry Weston's recent jabs against LCG members for living duplicitous lives and for not reading church literature so they could actually understand what the church believes.

Defending Your Beliefs: The Bible reveals that God’s people will be persecuted for their beliefs (John 15:20) and that deceivers will try to undermine and discredit those beliefs (Matthew 24:4-5, 24). However, the Apostle Peter wrote “always be ready to give a defense to everyone who asks you a reason for the hope that is in you, with meekness and fear” (1 Peter 3:15). Peter did this on numerous occasions (Acts 3-5) and so did Stephen (Acts 7-8) and the Apostle Paul (Acts 22-26). So how can we prepare to defend our beliefs? Peter urged believers to “add to your faith virtue, [and] to virtue knowledge” (2 Peter 1:5). Paul urged Christians to “test [examine, prove] all things; hold fast what is good” (1 Thessalonians 5:21). He also encouraged believers to diligently study the Holy Scriptures so they can properly explain and apply them (2 Timothy 2:15). Studying one doctrine at a time is a good way to start. To avoid being misled, Christians must be able to recognize whether a teaching agrees with the Holy Scriptures or not (Isaiah 8:20), which is what the people of Berea actually did (Acts 17:11). We are living in an age that is becoming increasingly hostile to biblical beliefs, so we need to prepare to defend what we believe.
Have a profitable Sabbath,

So-called COG Prophet Claims He Can Prove His Polytheistic God Exists


The self-appointed prophet of the improperly named "continuing" Church of "god" claims to know all about the polytheistic god he claims to believe in.  Another bad day in Arroyo Grande, CA.
