Dave Pack: "These are things I've been wrestling and wrestling with for years now - consoling myself when I'm frustrated, and I'm up at night.


Eating More Words

David C. Pack of The Restored Church of God must be a secret fan of the exrcg.org website. “The Greatest Unending Story! (Part 493)” on February 17, 2024, was further validation of the reporting here.

The self-assigned apostle has a proven track record of being consistently inconsistent. The occasional Elijah is predictably unreliable as he re-re-re-invented the prophetic wheel after taking another two-week break from accosting the brethren’s Sabbath.

The end of the sermon serves as a proper introduction.

Part 493 – February 17, 2024
@ 2:05:46 We got 51 days. I won't speak every week, but I will next week, and we'll see what God wants for the time that remains. Enjoy your dinner.

Brethren, Pastor General David C. Pack is unavailable to dine with you because he just spent 125 minutes eating his own words.

The Kingdom of God framework is now 4 Years, 100 Years, and 1,000 Years.
Jesus Christ IS the Messenger of the Covenant. Not David C. Pack.

It was no surprise that Dave reset the prophetic table after the standard introduction while tucking a bib under his chin.

@ 00:19 We all know that we can’t have too much longer to go.

@ 00:37 This will be an astounding sermon. Even though we’ll cover just two things that no one ever saw. No one (even through this long Series) ever dreamed that we could come this far …but you really don’t expect either of the two things that I’m gonna tell you now.

The “two things” of Part 493 were that the First Kingdom is now four years instead of one. The Second Kingdom is now one hundred years instead of seven.

The contradiction potluck dining table was piled high with words for Dave to feast upon.


 


@ 24:40 We could wonder, Would God tell us how many years there are in the First Kingdom? And it’s gonna you’re gonna be just stunned at what what those abundant days called “the last days” and “the last years” how long that is. Would He tell us that?

If God were legitimately involved, the human conduit would only need to ask and answer the question once. That faithful servant is not David C. Pack.

@ 25:10 First, I’m gonna show you how long the First Kingdom of God is. It is not seven years. In fact, it’s over seventy.

@ 25:46 So, any idea that there’s a Seven-Year Kingdom from the Day of the Lord is utterly destroyedbecause we’ve got punishment on Tyre for ten times that long.

@ 29:01 So, the idea that there is a Seven-Year Kingdom is as dead'n gone as yesterday. I mean, that’s gone with the wind.

@ 33:24 So, this Kingdom is one hundred years long. If it’s longer, well, then it is, I guess.

So much for proving certainty from the pages of your Bible. The one-hundred-year waffling already comes with its own padding upon installation. That must fill the brethren with bold assurance.

The Seven-Year Kingdom is now "destroyed" and "dead," according to David C. Pack. The man who invented them. He also authored the One-Year Kingdom idea, which does not survive Part 493.

@ 31:03 …in the First Kingdom, which we now know is not one year. It’s not one year. I’m gonna tell ya exactly how long it is. And you’re gonna be shocked. You’re gonna you’re gonna be in awe of what it means to go first. And many, many, many questions you have are gonna just die. They’re gonna go away. They’ll be gone with the wind when we understand these things.

Dave really knows how to run out the clock. Brevity and conciseness are not his strengths. Neither are integrity, trustworthiness, credibility, and legitimacy.

@ 1:11:59 Wow, the saints have to wait four years? Okay. Well, let’s pause. Let’s put that in context. How long have we been waiting? We’ve waited over twice over two times four years through this Series. And there a lot of brethren who said, “I won’t wait.” And so, they kill themselves. So to speak. We’ve had to wait a long time. I’m just talking about the Series.

David C. Pack often repeats that suicidal brethren leave The Restored Church of God because we all grew tired of waiting. We left because David C. Pack is a hypocritical, blaspheming liar and false prophet teaching antichrist theology. Toe-may-toe, toe-mah-toe.

@ 1:57:02 It’s simple. 4-100-1000. Not 1-7-1000. 4-100-1000. Maybe it’s a thousand every time after that. Simple. No Elijahn period other than a man who would be here explaining all of this. There is simplicity in Christ. The picture is easy. It wudden’t easy getting here. It took patience, and we're the people that kept God's patience. But this was always in the Bible.

He suggested Part 493 was part of an Elijahn period after recently denying he was Elijah yet. See. Even David C. Pack does not believe his own words or remember what he just said.

@ 1:58:05 …but we made it even simpler. Wouldn’t be hard to change our literature if we had to go on, which we won’t.

The literature is wrong, but he will not fix it. Edward L. Winkfield III just breathed a big sigh of relief.



 


Let us not miss this precious gem of reverse blasphemy in 3…2…1…

@ 1:45:00 Yes, Christ is the Messenger of the Covenant. Not any man. I now understand that, in a way, I never did. I apologize for that. Trying to be faithful to what it said.

It was an honest mistake, folks. Dave was trying to be faithful to what he believed in the moment because of reasons. As if that makes it all okay.

What an excellent excuse to store in your lunchbox for each time you accidentally commandeer a title belonging to the Son of God. I suppose all is forgiven on this, and we can just move along. 

 




After I resigned from The Restored Church of God in March 2021, I did not listen to a single message until the spring of 2022, so my records are spotty around then. The plan of God alphabet soup changed so many times it is hard to find where it all began.

Spotting through the archives, I found glassware and labels on the Tammuz Cooking Table for a 3.5-11-2,580 Kingdom plan during Part 376 on June 13, 2022. The debut of 1-1-7 appeared on April 10, 2023, during Part 434, even though the Seven-Year Kingdom was established long before that.

Flashback Part 373 – June 7, 2022
@ 1:27:03 Because I know when it starts. And I know it ends at the end of the month, or you don't have two evenly-halved parts of a big kingdom, Seven-Year Kingdom. It's perfect. Can't be argued with.

These are merely an appetizer of the words David C. Pack ate during Part 493.

Flashback Part 432 – April 1, 2023
@ 19:53 Could the plan of God be so simple that there’s seven days before seven years?

Why does an unordained non-prophet/non-psychic care more about the “immovable” words of the Pastor General of The Restored Church of God than the people still paying tithes to that spiritually corrupt organization?

To be fair to Dave, most of these words were already partially eaten. But now that the "firmly established and utterly proven beyond all doubt" One-Year Kingdom and Seven-Year Kingdom have been replaced with a Four-Year Kingdom followed by a One Hundred-Year Kingdom, they are more ripe for consumption.

Eat up, Dave.

Flashback Part 434 – April 10, 2023
@ 00:02 Well, much (maybe most) of everything we’ve learned and heard has been correct. But, it was lacking a year in front of it.

Flashback Part 443 – May 18, 2023
@ 1:51:55 …’cause you cannot change 1-1-7 and 1000. You can’t do it.

Flashback Part 444 – May 20, 2023
@ 04:32 But, lemme just tell you, just for the record, you know, 1-1-7 and 1 iddn’t gonna change. It can’t change. We should be settled on that.

@ 29:41 I knew I had the month right. I knew I had 1-1-7 and 1000 right.

Flashback Part 447 – June 6, 2023
@ 1:56:16 10-1-7-1000 is immutable. I will die on that hill. That’s the hill I die on.

Flashback Part 448, Part 1 – June 11, 2023
@ 58:07 1-1-7-1000. You can book it. Don’t ever never be challenged again.

Flashback Part 458 – July 8, 2023
@ 1:27:52 I just wanna say to the church, if this is wrong, I’m not there, no way that's wrong. You've got Bibles. 1-7-1000's not wrong.

Flashback Part 468 – September 9, 2023
@ 1:26:01 The problem is it's full, complete, and right. But, I'm just saying, if you had another year, you'd sit and think, “What did we get wrong?” That’s awfully simple. 1-7-1000.

Flashback Part 470 – September 23, 2023
@ 23:58 I want to just absolutely destroy all idea that this year does not sit exactly from one Feast of Tabernacles…to the start of the next Feast of Tabernacles. As surely as 1-2-3 Kingdoms or 1-7-1000…

Flashback Part 487 – December 23, 2023
@ 1:13:19 I’m just gonna tell you absolutely on God’s authority (I’ll tell ya this much), and I’ll tell you abso–I mean, just I I I will stand on this on this date: The Kingdom of God comes Abib 1.

The Whoopsie Daisy with Part 487 is that when Dave believed the First Kingdom was one year long, he was referring to Abib 1 on March 30, 2025. Gobble gobble.

Flashback Part 489 – January 6, 2024
@ 35:48 But, we do know, and this is impossible to argue. This is impossible to argue because it's literally going forward. It's the the we know that the next one thousand and seven years all begin with a season. The seven years and a thousand absolutely, immutably impossible to argue those begin on the first night of Passover.

The Passover was previously de-clarified, but the Seven-Year Kingdom has been expanded into one hundred.

Flashback Part 490 – January 13, 2024
@ 30:14 These are things I've been wrestling and wrestling and wrestling and wrestling with for years now. And, you know, consoling myself when I'm frustrated, and I'm up at night. Often, Sabbaths for me end around two to three in the morning because I’m thinking about all the things that I covered and other things. 

Dave thought he reached the end of the tunnel of his self-consoling. Being up late at night in January proved to be just as pointless as the sleep-deprived nights of today. The prophetic picture in The Restored Church of God will never settle because David C. Pack will never be right.

His own words tell that endless story.

@ 1:43:33 …and watch everything get cleared up. So, that’s pretty obvious that we’re right on track…

Part 493 proved that to be completely false. Nom. Nom. Nom. Down the gullet, Dave.

Flashback Part 491 – January 20, 2024
@ 1:45:40 But, this is vastly more than anybody else has ever understood. I’m honored to just be able to finally see things coming together.

A fraudulent honor bestowed upon a fraudulent man.

The “things” that finally came together were changed entirely. Even Dave's declarations during Part 492 now ring hollow and foolhardy. More futile time is spent dreaming up ideas that he later denies.

Flashback Part 492 – February 3, 2024
@ 56:22 So, I want you to be clear on [chuckles]. I mean, I’ve spent hundreds of hours trying to figure this out.

Hundreds and thousands of wasted hours. And yet, David C. Pack persists because the alternative is too horrifying to consider. He cannot rest in place because the passage of time proves him false every time.

And still, the cowardly hireling enablers at Headquarters are too weak to do anything about it. Yeah, Brad, I'm looking right at you. You know what Dave is, and you choose to do nothing about it, even though I know you could.

In some ways, even Ryan Denee is better than you. At least, Ryan is naturally spineless, lacking the mental capacity to man up and take a stand for what he knows should be done. His excuse of being a slouching pushover is far more understandable.

 


David C. Pack is a builder and a destroyer of his own theories.

He defecates perverted words upon the brethren and laps them up later before an adoring audience. It is a vile, disgusting cycle that will never be voluntarily broken.

Part 493 – February 17, 2024
@ 1:24:51 So, all of this makes sense. Nobody's ever understood it. Nobody's ever understood it.

Stuffing his face without shame, the man demonstrates his insatiable appetite. He gorges on entire Parts in a single sitting without stopping to use the restroom. In easy. Out easy. Eat, eat, eat.

When there are no consequences and no accountability, that type of theological binging and purging becomes normalized and accepted. The brethren of The Restored Church of God are witnessing a religious eating disorder run amok and enable it by choosing to dine beside him.

Even a wolf can burst if it overeats. How much more can David C. Pack eat?

CGI Medina Didn’t Like the Jesus Super Bowl Ad Either


 

Surprise, Surprise, CGI Medina Didn’t Like the Jesus Super Bowl Ad Either!

Lonnie Hendrix

The February 24 Sabbath service in Medina, Ohio echoed the disgust of their Canadian brethren with the “He Gets Us” Super Bowl Ad which featured antagonists washing each other’s feet. Medina member Jeff Flanick delivered the broadside against the commercial. Predictably, he insisted that the ad was not Bible-based, and that it presented a “nicey, nicey” Jesus. Flanick said that the ad doesn’t get folks interested in the “right” Jesus, and it looks at Christ through a “progressive/social justice” lens – portraying a Jesus that is too inclusive!

Indeed, as I listened to the ad, I began to understand the fierce reaction of these men to this sixty second Super Bowl commercial. In short, they perceive the ad as the embodiment of “false” Christianity – that it represents all of the things that they find so objectionable about traditional Christianity. Mr. Flanick didn’t like the non-denominational bent of the advertisement. He even quoted the Armstrong standard proof-text of John 6:44 to demonstrate that “God is NOT trying to save the world now.” Flanick went on to insist that Matthew 15:22 dealt a “fatal blow” to passive inclusivity. In other words, for these CGI members, the commercial is an assault on their view of themselves as God’s chosen people – the only “true” Christians. For them, those other folks are presenting a “false” Jesus and are NOT “real” Christians.

They ignore, of course, that favorite passage of more traditional Christians: “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him.” (John 3:16-17, ESV) For Jeff and his associates, traditional Christians have interpreted this statement by Jesus too literally. From their perspective, truly believing in Jesus is a much more labor intensive exercise than simply accepting the fact that Jesus was the Messiah/Savior promised in the Old Testament. They ignore that Jesus pointed to himself as “the way, and the truth, and the life.” (John 14:6, ESV) For them, their little unique package of doctrines is “the truth.”

For Mr. Flanick, the “He Gets Us” ad presented things like abortion, illegal immigration, homosexuality, and transgenderism in a positive light. For him, the ad portrayed righteous folks bowing down to sinners and washing them (their feet) while they are still in a fallen state. Once again, Mr. Flanick rejects the traditional understanding that Jesus kept company with sinners, and that he came here to minister to those who were in the grips of sin. According to him, most Christians do NOT understand passages like Matthew 9:10-13. That Jesus was only around those folks to insist that they repent and start keeping the Law. Of course, to arrive at this conclusion, he has to ignore Paul’s words to the believers at Rome: “For while we were still weak, at the right time Christ died for the ungodly. For one will scarcely die for a righteous person—though perhaps for a good person one would dare even to die— but God shows his love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.” (Romans 5:6-8, ESV) They simply do not get that God’s love intervenes where we are – immersed in sin!

More particularly, Jeff didn’t like some of the images portrayed in the advertisement. He didn’t like the woman getting her feet washed in front of a Planned Parenthood Clinic. He also didn’t like the woman in a hijab having her feet washed. Likewise, he didn’t like the “amorphous” gay/transgender person having his/her feet washed. Mr. Flanick would have preferred seeing those people portrayed as repenting of their sins. He wants to see folks conforming to Christ. He doesn’t like seeing Christians serve and accept sinners where they are – none of that reaching out to those fallen folks! Indeed, when he dealt with the story of the woman taken in adultery about to be stoned (see John 8:1-11), Jeff focused on Christ’s instructions to her to “go, and from now on sin no more.” Predictably, he barely mentioned that her accusers had been forced to drop their stones, and that Christ had told her “Neither do I condemn you.”

Of course, this is all consistent with the Armstrong Church of God view that Christians are obligated to observe/keep some of the precepts in Torah/Law of Moses. In support of that view, he quoted the traditional Armstrongism proof-texts about Jesus not coming to destroy the Law or the Prophets, but to fulfill them (Matthew 5:19-18). For Jeff, there is no “New” Testament or Covenant. In his view, Christ simply “repaired” or “renewed” the covenant which was already in existence. Moreover, because of their rejection of the Trinity, Jeff insisted that Jesus was the source of Torah/Law, NOT God the Father. In effect, Christ is implementing his own will, not the will of his Father. Once again, there is no recognition of Christ’s summary and condensation of the Law into two Great commandments for his followers (Matthew 22:34-40). There is no recognition of Paul’s insistence that love fulfills the requirements of the Law (Romans 13:8-14).

Jeff then returned to one of CGI’s favorite themes – bashing gay people. To demonstrate his point about sinners, he recalled how his former church (United Church of Christ) had ordained a gay person in clear violation of God’s standards. Unfortunately, CGI itself seems to ignore Paul’s instruction to Timothy that Church leaders must be the husband of ONE wife and manage his own household well (see I Timothy 3:2-5). No awareness or recognition of removing the beam from your own eye before trying to remove the speck from your brother’s eye (Matthew 7:3-5). Without compunction, however, Mr. Flanick went on to quote some of the “clobber” passages which have been used to condemn homosexuals.

Interestingly, Mr. Flanick did reference (in passing) two of the passages which challenge Armstrongism’s theology about a Christian’s obligation to observe Torah. For example, he mentioned James 2:10, but I prefer to quote the entire passage: “If you really fulfill the royal law according to the Scripture, ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself,’ you are doing well. But if you show partiality, you are committing sin and are convicted by the law as transgressors. For whoever keeps the whole law but fails in one point has become guilty of all of it. For he who said, ‘Do not commit adultery,’ also said, ‘Do not murder.’ If you do not commit adultery but do murder, you have become a transgressor of the law. So speak and so act as those who are to be judged under the law of liberty. For judgment is without mercy to one who has shown no mercy. Mercy triumphs over judgment.” (James 2:8-13, ESV) Likewise, he referenced Romans 3:23. Once again, however, I prefer to quote the entire passage: “But now the righteousness of God has been manifested apart from the law, although the Law and the Prophets bear witness to it— the righteousness of God through faith in Jesus Christ for all who believe. For there is no distinction: for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, and are justified by his grace as a gift, through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus, whom God put forward as a propitiation by his blood, to be received by faith. This was to show God's righteousness, because in his divine forbearance he had passed over former sins. It was to show his righteousness at the present time, so that he might be just and the justifier of the one who has faith in Jesus.” (Romans 3:21-26, ESV)

Mr. Flanick sees no irony or hypocrisy inherent in referencing these passages to prove his point. There is no awareness or recognition of the fact that the Armstrong Churches of God have ignored or modified numerous commandments of Torah. For him, grace is a thing that covers past sins. In speaking of believers, John said: “If we say we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. If we say we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us.” (I John 1:8-10, ESV) Sorry, Jeff. I still like the ad and its message: Jesus does get us, and that’s important. Because he gets us, he was able to offer himself as a sacrifice for our sins and help us when we are tempted to sin (Hebrews 2:14-18). All we have to do is ask!

Satan Continues His Attack On The Greatest COG In Human History!

 

 This intense persecution is ramping up by Satan 
on God's most highly favored COG leader 
to ever walk this earth.

No one has ever been persecuted as much as the Great Bwana Bob Mzungu Thiel.
