Just What Do You Mean TRANSPARANCY?

From David C Pack and the Ministry of the Restored Church of God

UCG watching the moon as they prepare for Feast and other shadowy incidentals

 

The Feast of Tabernacles is rapidly approaching as the Churches of God prepare for their annual "COG Christmas" of travel, gift giving, partying, and overindulgence in food and drink. As the members sit there for eight days listening to sermons about shadows that still need to be kept in this present age and in some kingdom to come, there will not be a lot of sermons focused totally upon Christ and anything that was accomplished. Shadow-keeping will reign supreme.

Rick Shabi again is looking at the moon as some sign that they are doing something right:

As we look ahead, for all of us there is a reminder in the sky that an important time of the year is quickly approaching. 

For Christians, something is far more important than the moon upon which their faith rests upon. That person signaled at the resurrection the focus of their life. UCG though is placing their focus upon a shadow for eight days and scant mention of that name will be spoken. If it is, it is only as a by-product of some kingdom to come where the focus is upon how UCG and COG members will become gods and goddesses and will be ruling over people.

Last night, I woke and went outside for a while and noticed the bright, what seemed to be full moon shining down. Tonight (Thursday) is actually the full moon—God signaling to us that just two full moons from now we will be celebrating the Feast of Tabernacles. Physical preparations for the Feasts wherever you are going have been underway for a while, but Feast coordinators are in the final stretch of their plans making sure all is ready as the Church of God leaves their homes and journeys to the place where He has placed His name for the Feast. 

Actually, the place where His name was placed was Jerusalem and not Branson, Missouri.  

As physical preparations are underway, and all of the ministry and so many of our members have a vital and important role in the Feast, now is the time for all of us to be making spiritual preparations. 

 

Take the time to think about what these upcoming Holy Days mean. The Feast of Trumpets, Day of Atonement, Feast of Tabernacles and Eighth (or Last Great) Day all have a specific meaning in God’s plan. He has given us the great blessing and privilege of understanding His plan for humanity, and what a great, loving plan it is—for all humanity! No other body except the true Body of Christ understands this great truth of God. 

Isn't it fabulous to know you are part of an exclusive group that has the inside scoop on the plan of salvation and how everyone else who actually openly professes faith in Christ is too stupid to understand it?

Make sure your physical preparations for the Feast are complete, but do not neglect the spiritual preparation that is absolutely requisite if we are to derive the absolute joy, rejoicing, peace and assurance that comes from observing God’s holy, appointed times with our hearts, minds and souls. 

 

Remember, too, that the weekly Sabbath is one of those holy convocations and appointed times God provides. “Don’t forsake the assembling of yourselves together.” 

 

Have a wonderful and productive day of preparation and inspiring Sabbath day. 

 

If you will be in Cincinnati for Sabbath services, in person or virtually, we look forward to being with you.

LCG: It's Most Powerful Entity Continues To Cause Division In The Church And That's Why They Can't Associate With Other COG's

Which one always seems to be winning in the Church of God?

 

I do not know where the Church of God and especially the Living Church of God would be without sex or evil spirits/demons constantly in their messages. Demons and evil spirits are more powerful than their god who seems unable to hold them those bad spirits in check as they destroy the church and its membership.

Gerald Weston writes:

End-time events are heating up. This is obvious to anyone who has eyes to see. But why? The book of Daniel tells of a remarkable, ongoing spirit war then taking place in Persia (Daniel 10:12–14, 20–21). Our world today and the events happening in it are difficult to explain without understanding that there are unseen spirit forces at work. The prince of the power of the air and his powerful assistants are moving in our world (Ephesians 2:2; Mark 9:28–29).

For 80 some years now we have heard the church tell us that the demons know their time is short and that is why they persecute the church so much. It is always their fault instead of the inept leadership that tends to be abusive narcissists. Prophecy is coming alive before their eyes...sigh, we have heard this same worn-out routine for decades, and noting they have predicted has come to pass.

These evil spirits must know that their time is short. And, although we do not know how short or when Satan will be cast down as described in Revelation 12, that event and the consequences of that battle are certain. Please do not read into this more than is intended, as it is likely that we will only understand the timing of that event in retrospect. But what we see for now is that prophecies we have known for decades are coming alive before our very eyes. While we have the overview of prophecy, we do not know every detail—but the stage is being set. Speculation is alluring, and fine when kept in perspective, but let us focus more on what we know for certain than on what we can only guess may happen.

Weston sees the membership as particularly susceptible to these demonic forces who they let take over their minds and bodies to cause division in the church. Not that the ministry would EVER do such a thing! As usual, these entities are more powerful than Jesus.

We see an effort by the evil side of the spirit world to polarize and divide mankind at all levels. Sadly, even some in the Church have allowed themselves to become instruments of those unseen hands causing divisions. This problem is not new (1 Corinthians 1:10–13; 3:4). Again, please do not misunderstand; Paul was describing what was happening within the Church of God in Corinth. He was not promoting some form of emotional ecumenism to unify groups that had chosen to separate. He addressed that problem in Acts 20:29–31 and elsewhere.

Brethren, we must not get caught up in worldly controversies and political strife that evil spirits are stirring up to create division. Rather, we must keep our focus on what God has called us to do, especially as we see the events that we have talked about for decades occurring at warp speed before our eyes. Politicians and media have their agendas and messages, but we, as the body of Christ, must recognize why God has called us—to proclaim the good news of a better world and to warn the current world of what is happening and why.

Imagine if they spent that same amount of energy on keeping their focus upon Jesus, that inconvenient dude that's always messing up their plans. 

Pill Peddling Self-Appointed Church of God Prophet Decry's Pharmaceutical Industry

 

Skeptical Meme Society (Facebook)

Naturopaths try (and fail yet again) to argue that they are science-based

God's most highly favored prophet in the history of Christiandom and the greatest and most quoted scientist in human history has another article up today decrying the cost of pharmaceuticals and the industry that makes them.

The Great Bwana to Africa and peddler of homeopathic/naturopathic "vitamins" and "nutritional" products has this graphic posted along with his headline for the article:

While not everything he posted is bad, he has to stick his self-righteous chest out and proclaim he is more enlightened than any of them are:

"Well, not all of us have been duped by this as I have long promoted non-medical ways to aid with mood issues. But yes, there are a lot of lies associated with medications. False hopes pushed a lot like false religion."

"Pharmaceutical drugs, artificial medicines, are not the answer for many health issues. FWIW, it has been several decades since I personally took any medications (I do take nutritional supplements, which I do not consider to be in the same category)."

"Yes, many in the pharmaceutical industry are drug pushers. And yes, money influences a lot of “medical” decisions. 

 

As far as opioids go, the reality is that many people have physical and spiritual pain and they reach out to drugs for relief. This tends to be addictive."

The Pill Pushing Great Bwana  ends with this:

Notice something the Apostle Paul was inspired to write:

19 Or do you not know that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from God, and you are not your own? 20 For you were bought at a price; therefore glorify God in your body and in your spirit, which are God’s. (1 Corinthians 6:19-20) 

 

As God inspired Jeremiah to write:

11 In vain you will use many medicines; You shall not be cured. (Jeremiah 46:11)

Bwana Bob, almost arrested for being a Bob, has no problem decrying the cost of medicines while making a living peddling homeopathic/naturopathic concoctions and pills.

These are just a sample of the prices the Great Bwana, the Elisha that no one recognizes, is charging his "patients" customers. See the complete list here: Doctors Research - All Products

All of these pills keep the Great Bwana in his office where his god sends him prophetic visions so he can lead the Church of God into eternal bliss with a stopover in Petra when it is the right time to flee.
