Satan is Really Pissed You are Keeping the Feast!




Those fun loving folk at Church of God the Eternal can't even go to the Feast of Tabernacles without Satan trying to thwart their every move.  How exhausting it must be to be constantly worried about Satan or demons trying to do you in all the time.  Why is it that Armstrongites prefer slavery to freedom?

A large part of preparing for the Fall Holy Days involves setting priorities in order. This is a time of the year when we are especially commanded to draw near to God, and we can only imagine how angry and jealous this makes Satan. He will look for our weaknesses, and tempt us to find reasons not to observe God’s Feasts. As we are advised in 1 Peter 5:8, “Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil walks about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour.” With this in mind, let us be prepared to overcome the weaknesses that cause us to neglect observing the Feast with the right spiritual state of mind.

When we are told to be sober and vigilant, this means that we must be on guard, especially when we know that our actions are an affront to Satan, causing him to become angry with us. This can be a very difficult affair. The strength that we have personally might not be enough to confront the temptations we encounter, but fortunately, we have the strength of Jesus Christ living in us to help. Paul reflects upon this fact in his own life in Philippians 4:13, “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.” This strength promised to us includes the ability to face the physical obstacles that we experience on our path to observe the Feast.

Salt Lake City Newspaper Talks About Pseudo-Christian Groups (LCG and UCG) Pretending To Be Jewish



Living Church of God and United Church of God are featured in an article in the Deseret News out of Salt Lake City this week.  Its an article about Christians flocking to Israel to celebrate the Christianized version of the Jewish celebration of Sukkot.  Who better to interview than Church of God members since they are the REAL Christian keeping it the PROPER way. 

UCG's Peter Eddington is quoted:
Eddington said members of the United Church of God — of which 14,000 are expected to attend events in the U.S., Canada and 37 overseas locations — use the Sukkot celebration "to picture what (the world) will be like when Jesus Christ returns, something humanity has never actually seen, but it's coming. It's a visionary kind of a week."

That means finding venues where there's an abundance of scenery and tourism opportunities. Resorts such as the Lake Tahoe area; Myrtle Beach, South Carolina; the Florida coast; Hawaii; and Zambia near Victoria Falls in Africa have been prime spots in years past.

"Some festival sites are in some very humble locations, but wherever possible, we try to make it a millennial experience," Eddington explained, "because the Feast of Tabernacles in the New Testament understanding pictures a time when Jesus will rule on Earth, instituting God's kingdom showing a life of prosperity, health and happiness for everyone under His rule. Wherever possible, we try to choose a location that inspires that feeling."

However, he added, "it's not just a vacation, but also a religious celebration." Following Leviticus 4, the United Church of God observes the first and last days (of the Tabernacles event) as "high" observances, with day-long worship services. On the other days, morning worship and Bible study take place to teach "what the Festival observance is all about," Eddington said.
The afternoons are free time for families, barbecues or light meals and sightseeing. Evenings may host dances or talent shows.
The focus of Eddington is solely on the Hebrew understanding of the days and nothing on the guy they are supposed to be followers of.  He along with UCG and the other COG's cannot and do not celebrate or talk about anything that pertains to Jesus and what he did.  Their only focus is upon pretending to be Jewish Christian and being rulers in a world tomorrow where they imagine becoming God's and have their own planets where they will be rulers and enforcers of the law. Jesus be damned, the law is more important.

The article then goes on to quote Eddington again:

Eddington said, "There is a tendency in Christianity today to follow a lot of tradition that's been passed down over the past 2,000 years that quite honestly is not biblical." The United Church of God eschews Christmas and Easter in favor of the Feast of Tabernacles, Passover and Pentecost, as well as Rosh Hashana, which it calls the Feast of Trumpets, and the Day of Atonement, known to Jews as Yom Kippur.

This is rather funny considering the  tendency in Armstrongism to follow a lot of tradition in the Church of God passed on by Armstrongism that are quit honestly not biblical or required. The Church of God's prefer to live in the "shadow's" than to engage in something that has a richer and deeper meaning in Christianity.

The paper also quotes Rod Meredith in another telling comment:

For Meredith, the benefits of observing the annual event are chiefly spiritual: "I have found that observing the Feast of Tabernacles makes God more 'real' to me in many ways. Focusing on Christ’s return and His millennial rule certainly helps one understand prophecy better. Being surrounded by hundreds of individuals of like mind in worshipping the Creator gives a wonderful spiritual uplift as well."

Apparently his "god" has failed to reveal himself to Rod Meredith for the last 60-70 years.  Every single prophecy the man has uttered in the last six or seven decades has FAILED!  Not one single prophecy he has predicted has happened.

LCG and COGWA: The Churches of Non-Brotherly Love



Two of the COG's most loyal and faithful churches claim to be the final repository of all things correctly biblical and believe they alone are God's most beloved church organization in this dispensation, are showing to the rest of the COG's how much they are NOT brotherly in their deeds and actions.  Two different Church of God's are meeting in the same location in the Philippines. Then add to that mess a third non-COG group that is also meeting there for their version of the Feast of Tabernacles.   It couldn't get any more messy than this!

Both of these splinter personality cults are meeting in the Philippines in the SAME complex, but in different rooms.  They have been encouraging to NOT attend with the other group.

Most of the larger church groups, however, are continuing to observe the festival separately - even at the same venue - the Living Church of God and Church of God a Worldwide Association are both meeting at Teachers’ Camp, Baguio City, Philippines, but in different halls. Sharing Village, a Filipino church group, will also be observing the festival at Teachers’ Camp.
Armstrongism has proven its self over the decades to be one of the most spiteful churches out there.  The heathen non-COG Christian in the world pale at times to the silliness of Armstrongite thought and practices. 

Several other cities around the world will be hosting simultaneous COG Feast sites.  None of these will gather in fellowship or even picnic together because of their shared heritage.  Bitterness, intrigue and a false facade of superiority is the preferred route of presenting their public face.  When truth only resides in the particular group it would be spiritual damaging and dangerous to let members make up their own minds as to whom they fellowship with.

Guru Eric King: NATO Is Heeding My Message and We Are Here To Help With The Ebola Crisis


“If humans were to be given an extending realm of peace they must collectively accept the reality of their condition and the current fallen state of their planet. They must admit their need for help. I have been given this message that humans could have a great age of peace and harmony but only if they collectively accept the SEVENTH MESSAGE. The SOCTteachings collectively make up what we call the 7th message” ~ E.W.King

Dingy Guru Eric is at it again.  He has written a letter to the world thanking everyone fore paying attention to his messages.
Nations Who Heed “The Seventh Message” will prosper!
~Positive changes in 2014
Here Mr. Eric W. King gives a strong and positive message regarding the current progress of the “Seventh Message”. The Seventh Message involves adhering to the teachings of SOCT and how they are positively effecting world peace. Please read and share!
Guru Eric let the United Nations know about his message which claims "education" is necessary to stop WWIII (which is currently going on.)

I will give you one guess as to where the "good leadership & good education" is going to come from....
What this world is lacking is Good Leadership & Good Education! ~
The Seventh Message states to the entire world; “Another world war may be the only hope…but a sad thing it would be. Global Sovereignty will stop world wars…nothing else can. This planet has been given a window to accept this message. The window opened on October 7th 2011. The United Nations is receiving this message.” ~E.W.King-
His new age enlightenment message says that the world needs to build new schools and find religious tolerance:
One thing that we here at SOCT have addressed is the way we must look at global education. I stated in a past article; “Once some stability is gained in the dangerous regions let us build schools. If we love all of humanity then we must truly teach the importance of religious tolerance and this must be taught from childhood up. If it is not then we will keep doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results. I realize that education is very different in other parts of the world. Some children are blessed with great material and others with trash. We need to make proper material accessible to those whom we are trying to free from tyranny. Education is key!”~

“Proper education should be made available to everybody. This should be a global effort. Enlightenment starts with proper education. Stability -political and social- starts with people who have had a good education. Anant Agarwal (CEO, edX) stated; “Education should be available to everybody, just like the air we breathe.”—E.W.King
Next he thanks India for implementing some of his measures...through democracy.
We are extremely excited about India’s new growth and plans of economic development. We have stated that the more India sides with democratic operating systems they well get our support. India’s people are truly a ‘people of peace’. SOCT is honored to have many students located there. ~
Next Guru King states that he is deeply saddened by the lack of leadership from churches in stopping the spread of Ebola.  Never fear though, Guru King and crew are ready to step up!
SOCT has actually been saddened by lack of the so called “big Christian” organizations to help in the Ebola outbreak. SOCT is grateful to what Pres. Obama has done to aid in this tragic situation. SOCT students have been and currently are offering our help in this issue. ~
Guru King then thanks NATO for listening to his message and implementing some of it:
SOCT is grateful to the NATO alliance. These countries are heeding “The Seventh Message” in their collective fight against terrorism. Only by this cooperation will the Seventh Message usher in the needed time of peace for global stability. We would like to see Germany get more involved in this matter. The Seventh Message states; ~
 Guru King has went from Christianity to Hare Krishna to Seventh Day Adventist, to Armstrongism and now to New Age malarkey.    Divine intelligence is waiting for you in Guru King's cult:
“Part of our mission is to allow the laws of science to merge with social and moral development of mankind. We need to be brave enough to stop clinging to old belief systems which do nothing but harm ourselves and others. Most all humans have reached a higher comprehension level than the present ancient religions have to offer. Public morals and values need to be reevaluated. No matter what kind of sentimental connection we may have to old beliefs that don’t work, we must let them go. We thus begin to replace the old system with the new and more enlightened system.  We must now separate fact from fiction. Will you join us on this bold journey into a better way? Divine Intelligence is waiting for us to grow to the next step. Are we willing and able? All things are possible with Divine Strength.” – E.W.King
I think the best news of all is that he claims to have received requests to start teaching his message in the Middle East.  With any luck ISIS will welcome him with open arms and keep him.  Though I expect they will do much worse to Guru King and his followers than give them a welcome meal of cookies, dates and warm camel's milk.
SOCT students are stressing to leaders that they would like to see more public and open talks about funding some new educational program to help our fellow humans in the Middle East. The entire globe should be involved in this project. We need to open up doors for teachers to get involved outside the United States. We need to prepare children to meet the future with hope. We need to start investing in proper education for radical parts of the planet that need our help.”-

“Civilizations are not a biological achievement as much as they are a cultural achievement.  Because of this fact morals and values must be taught and handed down. Moral advancement will only come through and by proper education.”-

“Proper family and home upbringing should start now for those we wish to help. The function of the home is not to make sure that everybody is always happy but instead it is a school of its own which helps to insure the proper survival of the race and culture. This can only happen through proper education, both private and public. We need to train on proper thinking skills. It is taught in circles of psychology and ‘logic science’ that you cannot teach a person how to “think”. However, true and clear thinking is in fact a skill. True skill is taught and practiced and not something that comes necessarily as ‘natural’.”

“So again, “we” cannot go over to these Middle Eastern countries and drop bombs every time they get too “out of hand”. These people are humans like the rest of us. WE ARE ALL HUMANS! Why can’t we begin to help them become stronger through proper education? We all need to begin to develop a proper relationship. Why do we have the United Nations if they cannot understand this fact regarding education?”-

“What we need to understand is the fact that relationships are simultaneously tenacious and fragile. Proper human identity is what needs to be developed for true stability andequilibrium in all of our thoughts and actions. This will help us all to better understand the differing portions of our selves. We need to start calling each other HUMANS…plain and simple.” – E.W.King
