Punching the Air
September 26, 2023 | by Marc Cebrian
The lunacy of David C. Pack of The Restored Church of God during his “Greatest Unending Story!” Series is feast or famine when it comes to blasphemy, biblical incompetence, or just plain stupidity. Of the last three, Part 468, on September 9, was the biggie on all counts.
He opened the Bible Dave Study, reading one of the dumbest letters he has ever relayed to the church. And that is saying something. Most often, it is well-meaning yet foolish brethren who slobber all over their human idol, offering unnecessary homage and saccharin-rich encouragement.
But, occasionally, a field minister yearning for attention musters the courage to write Headquarters in the hopes their In-Place-Of-Christ Pastor General will bless them with the thrill of knowing his eyes fell upon their words. Caesar may even offer a nod of approval the next time they come by dropping to their knees to kiss his ring.
This very dumb letter (Did I mention yet the letter is dumb?) is a peek at the type of weak-minded, biblically ignorant, unhelpful, wisdom-free, and spineless hirelings that RCG ordains.
From the sounds of it, I know it cannot be Brian Jackson, Nestor Toro, or Larry Cockshutt. Vidal Wachuku is too dignified to conduct himself in the manner the writer describes. Wulphert de Graaf, Dominic Rivard, and Andre Rouzan are not nearly “on board” enough to have anything Dave says even receive a nod.
Of the 38 speakers in the RCG Member Services Sermon Library, 17 are at Headquarters, and 4 are dead. Not all field ministers give messages of reasonable quality worthy of production for the members, so they would not be listed. As I scrolled the names, some educated guesses came to mind. But I will leave it for members to ponder which man they should now avoid expressing any doctrinal concerns to.

Part 468 – September 9, 2023
@ 00:39 Here's an email I thought I'd just read to you. It came from a minister. And, we'll keep the name out of it, but. I've been hearing a lot of comments starting last Sabbath, but even Thursday more and then more today. And some of you maybe heard the same, but he writes to Mr. Schleifer.
This read like world-class sucking up to me. I guess someone was forward-thinking about securing their future spot at Dave’s supper table.
@ 01:00 "Wanna write this message earlier today, but it was one of those preparation days that took much. Could you maybe please pass on this short message instapack [to Mr. Pack]. I'm so privileged beyond my expectations for being in the audience of all these prophecy messages, but in particular, the last few sermons. They've been the most exciting, inspiring, and exhilarating sermons I have ever heard. The understanding is all coming together so perfectly. The knowledge about the Branch and branches, difference between the Stone of Genesis 49. It has 'bugged me' for a long time. And the Rock, the Messenger of the Covenant, Habakkuk 2 vision. So extremely inspiring that I caught myself punching the air. Literally. What a revelation…If we somehow got past Trumpets, then I cannot wait to preach these things one day. I truly cannot wait.”
Reading this letter makes me want to scream.
This man has exposed himself as a useful idiot for the RCG propaganda machine. Brad can make use of his services when the time is ripe.
Not only is the writer worthless as a true shepherd, but he is actually feeding the sheep to the wolves and is too dumb to know that is blood spilling on the grass. Brethren who are deeply disturbed by the content of RCG messages hear letters like this and wrongly second-guess themselves. They know blasphemy when they hear it. They know the Bible condemns what RCG now teaches, yet this zealous minister in the field is excited by it. Why aren’t I? What’s wrong with me?
Nothing is wrong with you. That screaming in your gut is the Holy Spirit telling you to flee. Do not listen to the foolish words of a foolish man captured by the Spirit of Error and seduced by antichrist thinking.
Jeremiah 23:1
Woe be unto the pastors that destroy and scatter the sheep of my pasture! says the LORD.Jeremiah 5:31
The prophets prophesy falsely, and the priests bear rule by their means; and my people love to have it so: and what will you do in the end thereof?
What will you do, brethren? Stay when you know what you are being fed are lies?
If he “literally” punched the air during services, his creepy behavior should have been reported to Headquarters. That is not the sign of a mentally stable individual. If he had done that while sitting in the Main Hall, he would have been escorted out the door instantly and would not have returned.
1 Corinthians 9:26
I therefore so run, not as uncertainly; so fight I, not as one that beats the air:
Paul was explaining he is NOT like the ignorant man who wrote that letter.
Ephesians 4:14
That we henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive;
David C. Pack is tossing the brethren to and fro with constant changes. The wind of doctrine shifts wildly day by day and week by week. The biblical sleight of hand is part of the deception to keep people in their seats with checkbooks open.
Luke 19:46
Saying unto them, It is written, My house is the house of prayer: but ye have made it a den of thieves.@ 01:55 So I thought maybe you would find that inspiring in case it reflects your sentiment. I feel the same way. I, I, I, in a way, I'm a member of the audience. I'm just the first person in the audience, and I get to hear it. I even am inspired when I see it all come together and hear it come outta my own lips. Somebody has to be the conduit. So, I guess that is my role.
Matthew 12:37
For by your words you shalt be justified, and by your words you shalt be condemned.
The role of David C. Pack is to indoctrinate the members of The Restored Church of Another god with lies. He is normalizing the spirit of antichrist so that further progression into damnable heresies can continue.
2 Timothy 3:5, 7
Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away…Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.
The pathetic writer of the letter and David C. Pack will continue in endless circles that will never achieve a resolution. Now that this field minister has publicly agreed with David C. Pack and his wicked teachings, he can partake of the same fruits.
Psalm 59:12
For the sin of their mouth and the words of their lips let them even be taken in their pride: and for cursing and lying which they speak.Jeremiah 5:2
And though they say, The LORD lives; surely they swear falsely.
When the Feast of Trumpets failed, the writer of that letter was surely not phased. He could be one of the All-Believing Zealots in hireling form. But he may want to cool his heels on preaching any “present truth” because RCG doctrines rust faster than iron in the rain.
Brethren of The Restored Church of God, if you ever witness anyone in your congregation punching the air upon hearing the words of David C. Pack, leave as fast as you can.
