I Samuel 19:13

Asking for a friend:

1 Samuel 19:13 New International Version (NIV)

13 Then Michal took an idol and laid it on the bed, covering it with a garment and putting some goats’ hair at the head.

Since David was a man after God's own heart, why did he have a family idol? 

This breaks God's second commandment.

Maybe one of the top elders who have answers for everything could give us the answer.

David Hulme and the Seychelles

A question was sent in:

Money laundering by WCG! I wonder if much has been written about this and whether it actually happened. I remember in the 90s, someone putting such a theory to me. It was based on the flow of church funds passing between US, somewhere in Africa, and Canada. I dont remember the route and direction. The claim was that the church laundered money in this route for other organisations too. 

Also pointed out was how a certain David Hulme, fresh from AC graduation, was appointed Pastor in the Seychelles. The Seychelles isn't somewhere you might expect to find a burgeoning church population, but back in the early 70s, it was an offshore banking centre. Just why was Hulme sent there? What was the real reason WCG wanted one of their men there ? 

So many questions, so few answers.

Why Is It That When COG Leaders Grow Facial Hair They Look So Creepy?

King Gerald

God's only true prophet, apostle, and King has now grown a goatee and therefore other men in lofty leadership positions now feel they need to do it too. Before long it will be a requirement of PCG men in order to make it into Petra.

Gerald Flurry: Malachi's Message...If you do not understand that it is special, you need to repent!

Gerald Flurry has an article up about Malachi's Message, his plagiarized work of fiction that he calls the most important book ever written.  It has been proven that Flurry lifted huge sections of Malachi's Message from Jules Dervaes.  Flurry is just like the Mormon Church proclaiming the Book of Mormon and The Pearl of Great Price as companions to the Bible, when he says his work of fiction is the "seminal book" of the Philadelphia Church of God.

The Little Book

Malachi’s Message is the seminal book of the Philadelphia Church of God. When we came to understand that it was actually prophesied right in the middle of the greatest book of prophecy in the Bible, that significantly elevated Malachi’s Message in importance!

If you want to identify the people of God, just find the little book of Revelation 10. It must be special to us. If it isn’t, we need to repent of that. 

This is a gentle reminder of who is the Source of revelation—and who is in charge of this Church. A few people leave this Church over trivial things. They don’t understand the depth of what God is doing, or they would never walk away! 

What sets the pcg apart from other churches? The revelation of God! It is raining into this Church all the time! The Laodicean churches have none of it—because of the way they treated God’s servant the Elijah! They will have to repent to escape the lake of fire. 

Both of these events—the rain beginning on July 16, 1989, and the 1992 revelation about Malachi’s Message—revolved around the little book of Revelation, and God disclosing where He is working today. 

Both events give us a strong idea of just what God is talking about in the prophecy of James 5:17-18. 

How specific James’ prophecy is! It tells us of Mr. Armstrong’s fervent, faith-filled prayer that God would cut off revelation from His Church and then start it again 3½ years later. God answered that prayer mightily, and honored his end-time Elijah in a truly special way.

There is no question that the epistle of James is for this end time! 

Read Revelation 10. It describes a very impressive angel delivering the little book, which contains a thunderous, lion-roaring message (verses 1-3). Remarkably, the Apostle John was told not to write the message down (verse 4). The label “little book” is also a prophecy that it would later be written in book form. Then verse 6 reveals that the little book initiates a time of “no more delay” (rsv)—and verse 7 prophesies of the Philadelphia Church of God winning the copyrights to Mystery of the Ages and delivering that book to the world before Christ’s Second Coming. (This sequence of events is all explained in our free booklet The Royal Book of Revelation.) 

The book of Revelation puts all prophecy into a time frame, or time sequence. Then, in Revelation 10 and 11, what develops around the little book is put into an extremely specific and detailed time frame.

David C Pack: My Pedigree as the "Passover" and as Prophet Elijah

Dave Pack continues his mental decline into madness with the claim that he is Elijah the prophet, foretold in the Bible, and that his name means Passover.  Some idiot at Ambassador College told him that and he now believes it as truth.   I am amazed that he has people sitting in church listening to this crap and take it as "truth."  Surely their minds have to question his utterances?  Are they truly that naive that they can sit there and believe this stuff?  Thankfully, many of his top people have had the light come on and they woke up. Pack has the potential to lead his remnant into a horrific scenario not too far in the future.
