Some who left The Restored Church of God suffer a particular condition, and it has to do with listening to David C. Pack. They cannot stomach the sound of his voice, even for small 1-minute clips highlighting a moment of madness. Some kind of PTSD is triggered.

  Others listen to him for long stretches, taking in his entire message so they can laugh or scream, depending upon the content. But everyone agrees: his words are filthy and very difficult to endure.

  There is a reason angels of light are hard to discern. They could be easily identified if they were the agents of burps and farts. Not so much those who appear to be from God.

  David C. Pack really knows how to string verses together to make his point. Those verses are in the Bible. During Part 419 of “The Greatest Untold Story!” I wondered at times if Dave had it right. He connects a string of verses that feels like he is preaching about the Kingdom of God.

  If you give him enough time, he can sound very convincing. Well, except when the dictionary gets involved, then his cardboard façade ruins the suspension of disbelief.

David C. Pack is a master of blending truth with error. As you would expect the Spirit of Error to inspire. The man is not fully evil. The man is not fully wrong. No human being is. Sometimes he makes a strong case, then botches the point with a fantastically stupid conclusion.

  We can all be grateful for his piss-poor reading comprehension skills reminding us how his neurons fire. Those are the dusty plastic flowers in the centerpiece. The wax fruit in the bowl on the bookcase. Yep, that is fake, all right.

  When it comes to Bible prophecy, despite dozens of failed dates in our rearview mirror, I sometimes let David C. Pack have moments of legitimacy. And that is frightening. The “old” Mr. Pack comes through from time to time. The man who spoke the truth with clarity and authority on “The World to Come.” He sometimes reminds me of the undeniable words in the RCG literature that sang in harmony with my Bible.

  The only way to stave that off is to be reminded of facts and reality. The quotes on the exrcg.org website originated as a personal Bible study. I needed to prove whether Dave was of God or not. I transcribed his words and sorted them into twelve different documents. The words HE spoke.

  When I was in RCG and contemplated leaving, I read portions of those documents, and it quickly reminded me that David C. Pack is a biblical fraud. He is a prophetic sorcerer. He is not a man of his word. He does not teach the truth. My opinion is irrelevant at that point because God was not guiding David C. Pack or The Restored Church of God. History and his own words bear witness.

  The man is not Elijah. He is not That Prophet. He is not a goodman. He is not the faithful priest. He is not the rod of Jesse. He is not the Seventh Angel. He is not the man in linen. He is not the only good and faithful servant. He is not an apostle. He is not unsealing Daniel. He is not finishing the Mystery of God.

  He is not. He is not. He is not.

  His own redacted literature condemns him in the harshest possible language. He attacks his future self in a way I shudder to think of doing.

  No matter how convincing David C. Pack is that he finally has the Kingdom of God laid out correctly, I must be reminded of ten years of failure, excuses, and blasphemy.

David C. Pack is an angel of light warned of in 2 Corinthians 11. That is the only explanation that makes sense. The man is a walking contradiction. A vain and vicious person preaching world peace and godly love. A covetous man desiring the wealth of others for the sake of righteousness.

  He is a living blend of truth and error that looks and feels like Christianity. The worst kind of deceiver has to appear legitimate to be a real threat.

  Worldwide Church of God. Herbert W. Armstrong. Over 50 years in the ministry. Hundreds of books and booklets. A world-class Headquarters Campus. He speaks with God’s authority. He studies the Bible in his sleep. He has preached the truth to more people than Paul. He knows prophecy like nobody else on the face of the earth. He proves how he is all throughout the Bible.

  David C. Pack is far more dangerous than Joel Osteen, Creflo Dollar, and Benny Hinn combined. They have rubber skin, and we spotted them easily. But Dave is surrounded by living flesh. He looks human. He looks like a Christian minister.

  Listening to Part 419 reminded me how good David C. Pack can be at spinning a tall tale using the Bible as his Erector Set. The three kingdoms. The Gospel. This is the Father, not Christ. This is Elijah, not Christ. Bitter is sweet, and sweet is bitter.

Many wonder why people continue to stick with The Restored Church of God and ignore the mountain of evidence proving David C. Pack is a fraud.

  He was not always like this. He became this over time. His teachings were not always corrupt but became so slowly. The long con is the most effective. Even men know that.

THAT minister is still here, which must mean we are okay. THAT person in my congregation is still here, which must mean we are fine because they were in Worldwide under Mr. Armstrong. The Headquarters ministers all agree, meaning this is how God wants it.

The disbelieving person stays looking at the other disbelieving person in their congregation, and they both legitimize the scam by continuing to attend. The field minister who remains for the sake of his sheep is telling the sheep, This is the right place to be. Is that helping or hurting?

  Person X knows things are wrong but keeps attending. Person Y knows things are wrong, but sees Person X is still attending, meaning things are still on track. Choosing to stay inside RCG when you know God is not behind it hurts the person beside you.

  Person X and Y are waiting for God "to do something" about the situation. Person X and Y are waiting for “Mr. Pack to figure out the timing.”

  Person X and Y will be waiting for a very long time.

The true danger of an angel of light is introducing errors in small degrees. Not that the Sabbath is Sunday. That is a great chasm fixed and triggers the alarm bells.

  Instead, David C. Pack teaches error of 1% multiplied over two hours multiplied over 419 Parts. Draw a line across a world map but alter it one degree every five hundred miles. Where you end up is far from where you intended. The biblical fraud of RCG is compounding exponentially.

  That word is not what we thought it was. That kingdom is not what we thought it was. That gospel is not what we thought it was. That is not Christ. That is Elijah. Common is required for salvation.

  David C. Pack nudges the truth and nudges the truth and nudges the truth until it is unrecognizable.

Being off by 419 degrees over seven years will lead you to the same destination as a straight line. It just takes longer.

  David C. Pack wants you to believe that.

  The mosaic of what is going on in The Restored Church of Another god leads to one conclusion...

  David C. Pack is an angel of light.
