Trickster God Protects PCG Members While Letting Rest Of Ohio Suffer From Train Derailment

 


By now the entire country knows about the train derailment in Ohio and the human and ecological disaster that is unfolding thanks to corrupt rail officials and US Transportation Department officials.

Of course, there have to be COG members who live in the area and they alone were spared any effects of this disaster. After all, COG members are special, aren't they?

So far there have not been many reposts from UCG, LCG, and others about members in that area, but PCG has stepped up to the plate with a humdinger of a story. Given the track record of Brian Davis telling exaggerated lies over the decades, this should come as no surprise.

Exit and Support Network is reporting:


Another “Miracle” in PCG History, According to Brian Davis:
February 18, 2023 
 
Brian Davis wrote a big B.S. story on February 17. Why is it said to be B.S.? Because PCG, the same as WCG, has always been known to lie and stretch stories all out of proportion when claiming some “miracle” by God. 
 
The article was entitled: “Update: Ohio Toxic Disaster” (regarding the train derailment and chemical spill on February 6th) and he started off by saying: 
 
“Many people have been expressing concern about the brethren that live in Eastern Ohio due to the disaster” … “We have brethren who live all around the area.” 
 
Then he went on to spin his biggest tall tail with these words: [all emp is Davis’] 
 
“What is interesting is the direction the wind was blowing during the time of the explosion on February 6th. Brethren literally live in every direction from the explosion – EXCEPT ONE DIRECTION – the direction the wind was blowing that day! That day the wind was blowing awayfrom where all our brethren live and, again, it was the ONLY direction it could have blown in order to have avoided the member’s homes! The deacon in the local congregation was the only member that used to live in the area where the wind was carrying the toxins, but he moved about 3 months ago.” 
 
He goes on with this claim: 
 
“I feel this is an instance of God fulfilling His promise to protect His people [i.e., only those in PCG] in Psalm 91:5-8, where it says, “Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night; nor for the arrow that flight by day; Nor for the pestilence that walketh in darkness; nor for the destruction that wasteth at noonday. A thousand shall fall at thy side, and ten thousand at thy right hand; but it shall not come nigh thee. Only with thine eyes shalt thou behold and see the reward of the wicked.” 
 
To finally tie all this in with their churchwide fast taking place on February 19, he says, 
 
“We thank God for His protection! This is a powerful example in the lead up to the Church-wide fast as to why we need to grow in faith and always be humbly drawing closer to God.” (i.e., submitting to PCG’s “government”) [emp. mine] 
 
But…. 
 
“Prayers are still needed in regards to the drinking water There are reports of contaminants in the Ohio River in areas as far away as Cincinnati, OH, which is a 4.5 hour drive southwest from where I live. I’d say this means there are about 175 -200 brethren that would potentially be negatively impacted by this issue.” [emp. mine] 
 
One person who read this article by Brian Davis told us, “Anything that comes from Brian Davis is fancifully spun to manufacture some sort of miracle! It’s a shame God couldn’t protect the people from the water contamination, which is likely to cause far more problems than the air.” 
 
Our readers can research more about this disaster, the actual direction of the wind, and how it is said that there will be not only water contamination but soil contamination. Will the PCG members (including Brian Davis) also be protected from this? It is an absolute disgrace when Brian Davis has to use this kind of disaster to enforce PCG’s churchwide fast. But it shouldn’t surprise us. –AJW

UCG Still Promoting Lie That Tithing Is Required

 


The boys in Cincinnati will do whatever they can to ensure that they get as much of their follower's money as possible.

Ignoring the fact that there is no New Covenant command to tithe, the Cincinnati boys have to resort to old covenant expectations.

Abraham and Jacob gave tithes to God

Most people think there is no command to tithe in the Bible, and this simply isn’t true. They believe in Christian giving, but most don’t even do that. The Bible does say, “God loves a cheerful giver” (2 Corinthians 9:7). 

Yes God may love a cheerful giver, but this still is not a command to tithe. New Covenant followers of Christ give because they have been blessed and want to share that blessing. They do it because they want to, not because it is commanded, which it is not. 

Abraham gave tithes of all to Melchizedek long before the covenant God made with ancient Israel (Genesis 14:18-20). Jacob followed his grandfather’s example and gave a tenth of all as well (Genesis 28:22-24). 
 
God declares to anyone and everyone who will listen across this planet, “'Will a man rob God? Yet you have robbed Me! But you say, "In what way have we robbed You?" In tithes and offerings. You are cursed with a curse, for you have robbed Me, even this whole nation. Bring all the tithes into the storehouse, that there may be food in My house, and try Me now in this,' says the LORD of hosts, 'If I will not open for you the windows of heaven and pour out for you such blessing that there will not be room enough to receive it" (Malachi 3:8-10).

Rod McNair/LCG: Earthquakes, Cyclones, Flooding - Blame It On All The Sinners


Greetings from Charlotte, 
 
Mr. and Mrs. Gerald Weston, Mr. Mario Hernandez, and Mr. Cristian Orrego are in Medellin, Colombia, for a regional conference for the Spanish-speaking ministry. Mr. Jonathan McNair, along with Mr. and Mrs. Rob Tyler, traveled from Thailand to Malaysia on Wednesday for a Southeast Asia leadership conference. The death toll from the earthquake in Turkey continues to climb, now at a staggering 42,000 lives lost. Amazingly, people are still being pulled out of rubble alive, more than ten days after the devastating earthquake. In South Africa, the government declared a state of emergency as a result of widespread flooding (see report below). Also, the government of New Zealand declared a national state of emergency this week—only the third in its history—as a result of Cyclone Gabrielle. The nation was also hit in the last few days by two earthquakes (see report below). In response to a reporter’s question about the earthquakes, Prime Minister Chris Hipkins said, “I was looking out the window for a plague of locusts.” As God allows devastating weather to wreak havoc on our nations for our sins, we must pray “Thy Kingdom Come” for a troubled and suffering world.—Rod McNair

Report from New Zealand

New Zealand has been battered with an “unprecedented” flood in Auckland, followed by Cyclone Gabrielle, which devastated many parts of the North Island. In the past couple of days, two strong earthquakes have hit. The government has declared a national emergency. These events are on top of record inflation and the economic fallout of COVID-19. All our members are safe; however, the economic and infrastructure damage across the nation will be felt for many years. Our national leaders are blaming this unprecedented and destructive weather on climate change. There has been no mention of God, and it would probably be political suicide if one were to reference divine involvement, especially with a national election looming later this year. It just shows how much the theology of climate change has usurped the reality of a God who intervenes in world affairs.— Paul Kearns

South African Flooding 

The government in South Africa has declared a National State of Disaster because widespread flooding has caused havoc in seven of the country’s nine provinces. Temporary shelters, food, and blankets are urgently needed by many affected by the flooding caused by the recent heavy rains. As far as we know, all our brethren are safe. Last week, the government declared a National State of Disaster because of excessive (stage 6) load-shedding (blackouts) by the state-owned electricity supplier. Some expect a national shutdown of the electricity supply soon. Only time will tell if the situation can improve. This gives us more and more reason to pray for God’s Kingdom to come soon.—Christo Botha
