To further advance his growing Empire of Speculation, David C. Pack of The Restored Church of God introduced a solid-gold Accountability Shield to further protect him from all biblical responsibilities. Bible prophecy is a process of trial and error, folks. The Pastor General’s desperation knows no bounds.

  “The Greatest Unending Story! (Part 444)” on May 20, 2023, was followed by Part 445 on May 24. Part 444 reset the table, but Part 445 tossed a bunch of 444 into the trash to reset the table again. Though, for real, this one last time.

  Per Part 444 on May 20:

•  The Kingdom Is Not Coming on May 21.
•  "If Correct," The Kingdom Comes on May 23 But Must be Before May 25.
•  1-1-7-1K Kingdom Structure Iddn’t Gonna Change.
•  Sabbath and Pentecost Constitute “God’s Weekend.”
•  Simpler One Month Kingdom: 18-2-10-3.5

  Per Part 445 on May 24:

•  No Kingdom on May 23 or 25.
•  1-1-7-1K Kingdom Structure Changes to 1-7-1K.
•  No One Month Kingdom, But Is Part of The First.
•  The Kingdom To Israel Is Inside The Kingdom of God.
•  The One Year First Kingdom of God Is 390 Days.
•  “God’s Weekend” Never Mind.
•  The Kingdom of God Arrives on Pentecost at Sunrise in Jerusalem

Tired of being quoted verses about false prophets and false teachers, David C. Pack found a verse he could mangle just enough to give him cover for seven-and-a-half years of Prophetic Groundhog Days.

Part 444 – May 20, 2023
@ 00:14 Thought I would explain something to you that might be very interesting and helpful… Prophecy (a third of the Bible) is different than (and really contrasted to) all other doctrines. It’s almost not a doctrine. It’s doctrine. It’s many, many doctrines in one. But, when you study prophecy, you study knowing in part, and it requires a certain trial and error because the amount of it is just so vast. There’s trial and error. You see a scenario. You play it out. It looks good. It has some strengths. Then, eventually, things don't work, and you break it down, and you start again. It's trial and error. You know in part and if God’s guiding, you know a little more and a little more.

He compares prophecy to doctrines like tithing, the Sabbath, and Holy Days. But prophecy is different. He perverts the meaning of 1 Corinthians 13:9, “For we know in part, and we prophesy in part,” and finds another Get Out Of Jail Free Card to play.

  During Part 373, David C. Pack explained, “I’m telling, not foretelling.”

  During Part 425, he redefined “inspired preaching” to mean “teaching what the Bible says.”

  Now, during Part 444, teaching Bible prophecy “requires a certain trial and error.”

  Each step defuses the discernment that he is a false prophet and a false teacher. Excuse piled upon excuse piled upon excuse. David C. Pack found another way to “explain away” his persistent failures while also absolving himself of all responsibility for those failures.

  He is just a victim of the process, brethren, and not a perpetrator of biblical fraud handling the word of God deceitfully. So, it is okay to continue to pay him to set dates because, by design, one-third of the Bible was always meant to be approached this way.

Part 444 – May 20, 2023
@ 03:10 But prophecy is different. God nowhere says you know about the Sabbath in part. Or tithing in part. Or the Holy Days or unclean meat. There's no other place in the Bible regarding any other subject, any other doctrine where you know in part.

David C. Pack admits that Bible prophecy is basically a guessing game. Except, he seemed torn as to what prophecy is. “It’s almost not a doctrine. It’s doctrine. It’s many, many doctrines in one.”

  It's not. It is. It's many. That is another sign of the divided house between his ears.

doctrine
a belief or set of beliefs held and taught by a Church, political party, or other group

  Bible prophecy is a doctrine, despite how Dave wants to frame it. Setting a date for the return of Jesus Christ and having it fail still constitutes being a false prophet, despite how Dave wants to frame it.

  The revelation that understanding Bible prophecy requires trial and error was such a huge relief for Dave he expanded on it four days later.

Part 445 – May 24, 2023
@ 00:29 …regarding prophecy, we know in part. Requiring trial and error. To some degree, you could say, "hit and miss." We have to piecemeal our way to develop the picture. And I contrasted this approach to other doctrines. I think I cited seven.

@ 01:00 Many found I heard this from many, actually, quite a few. I think, including ministers. Members and ministers. Many found this very helpful.

  The people at Headquarters who found this new unbiblical concept helpful are the most pitiful in The Restored Church of God. Perhaps they got the same sense of relief Dave did because it gives a plausible excuse for why he cannot get anything right. It removes accountability for teaching fraud but also eliminates the responsibility of the members to obey the Bible and hold their human idol accountable.

  The brethren are not being defrauded. They are enduring. That must have soothed the consciences of many still holding on despite knowing they continue to tithe to The Restored Church of Another god.

  It is like when a cheating husband gains relief from guilt because he discovers that his wife has also been cheating. Something uncomfortable suddenly becomes a win/win situation.

After listing all the correct doctrines RCG still holds on to, including the truth about hair pieces and tattoos, Dave finds another way to transfer the blame onto others. It is always the fault of those who leave and never about what and how he taught.

Part 445 – May 24, 2023
@ 03:20 We have, we teach, and we know the Truth. All of it. I might ask, Why ever leave over prophetic trial and error when we’ve learned so much more than others who know so little?…Because it involved piecemeal, some hit-and-miss, and trial and error.

  You can now add piecemeal to the process. The Bible must be filled with the concept of hit-and-miss. If you can find those verses, please email exrcgwebsite@gmail.com. My version of e-Sword seems to be lacking them.

@ 03:56 All those other doctrines are clear. They’re taught in a very clean and clear way…But not when you're talking about one-third of the Bible. So, as I’ve said all through the Series, people who wanna leave because we can’t get the third right when we’re moving way beyond everybody else on that and already have the rest of the truth, they just don’t wanna obey God. They just don’t wanna obey God.

The Restored Church of God
Two Out Of Three Ain’t Bad™

  The idea that one-third of the Bible was not taught in a clean, clear way so that God’s people could discern a false teacher from a true one never enters the discussion.

  May God have mercy on David Crowl Pack.

  His blindness continually denies any and all responsibility for causing the little ones to stumble. He is NEVER the cause.

  If that one sheep wandered off from the flock—good riddance. Don’t let the door hit you on the way out. No millstones are engraved with Dave’s name because those who left RCG “just don’t wanna obey God.” Easy-peasy.

Now that "trial and error" has become an official doctrine of The Restored Church of God, the brethren can look forward to an unapologetic continuation of the Series after Pentecost fails to produce anything beyond stuffed green envelopes.

Part 445 – May 24, 2023
@ 45:10 Dawn in Jerusalem is the only time when the entire world dawn in Jerusalem when the entire world is inside Pentecost. Either just crept into it or just about to pass out. It’s “fully come” to the whole planet worldwide.

@ 47:28 So, what the disciples were asking is exactly what we’re asking. Only finally, trial and error, piecemeal, you know, here a little, there a little, hit and miss. We have pinned down, or we're pinning down when I'm done, I'm gonna give you about forty-eight things; we'll have given you that many that point to Pentecost that appear to make it impossible to move away from. 

Pentecost—May 28, 2023

Sunrise in Jerusalem: 5:35 AM (May 27 at 10:35 PM ET)
Sunrise in Wadsworth: 5:59 AM ET

@ 1:15:21 What other day would you pick? I mean, if it’s not Pentecost, it’s gonna take a better person than I to ever be able to explain it. It’s just above my pay grade.

  Better Future Dave has already phoned ahead to accept the challenge. Do not be surprised when more “clarifying” comes out of Headquarters this weekend.

@ 1:21:58 But, if it’s not Pentecost, then I don’t know what it is.

  By the time I sip my morning coffee tomorrow, David C. Pack will have erred again before the entire church. Those who choose to put their green envelopes in the basket are willing to accept they now attend The Trial and Error Church of Another god.

  You get what you pay for. Prepare to keep getting more of it.

A famous quote by W.C. Field applies to Parts 444 and 445.

“If at first don’t succeed, try, try again…”

  It is the lesser-known second-half that perfectly applies to David C. Pack.

“Then quit. No use being a damn fool about it.”

  David C. Pack is a damn fool too arrogant to know when to quit. The brethren of The Trial and Error Church of Another god are proving they agree with a damn fool and want to keep supporting one. Shame upon both your houses.

  To cling to a "trial and error" philosophy is to accept perpetual defeat into the vanishing point. It also proves that ERROR is half of the equation. Which Spirit guides that thinking, the Spirit of Truth or the Spirit of Error?

  You also cannot have “hit-and-miss” with David C. Pack because he is ALL miss and NEVER hit. Pentecost tomorrow will only be the most recent example.

  Even the Prophets of Baal knew when to give up and let Elijah call upon God. They were instantly proven false when the fire burned the water along with the sacrifice. The brook Kishon drank much blood that day.

  It took self-aggrandizing prophecy expert David Crowl Pack the vast experience of fifty years to reach his ultimate conclusion of the matter: Bible prophecy requires trial and error.

  Moses, Gad, Nathan, Ahijah, Samuel, Elijah, Elisha, Shemaiah, Iddo, Oded, Huldah, Hosea, Habakkuk, Zechariah, Ezekiel, Jeremiah, Daniel, Nahum, Amos, Isaiah, Joel, Obadiah, Jonah, Micah, Zephaniah, Malachi, and Agabus would all disagree.

  Talk about a great cloud of witnesses that David C. Pack is a biblical fraud, a false apostle, and a false prophet. Also, being a blaspheming liar and hypocrite does not help his case for legitimacy.

  Abraham understood that even with God, there comes a point where there are not enough righteous left in Sodom to keep it from burning.

  How many righteous remain in The Restored Church of God?

  Do not stick around to find out. Get out while you still can.
