How I learned about God - David C. Pack

Almost everything I have learned about God in the last 4 years, I have learned it from one single man, and his name is David C. Pack. He is the pastor and head of the "Restored Church of God", and they are based in Wadsworth, Ohio, USA.

David C. Pack and the "Restored Church of God" have a Youtube channel with about 170 videos. Each video is about 30 minutes long, and I have watched all of the 170 videos. I have watched some of the videos multiple times. Everything I have learned, I have learned it from watching David C. Pack's videos on Youtube.

I like David C. Pack and his approach to teaching the Bible. He has the temperament of a kind of "Stern School Teacher", and I like that approach to teaching the Bible. That is why I keep watching his videos, over and over again.

But what is critical about David C. Pack and his Youtube videos is that they are not "sermons" about Religion. He takes very confusing passages from the Bible and he gives it to you in plain English. He never gets theological about anything, so there is no deep theology!!. He never gets into that "deep spirituality" rubbish. He just gives it to you straight from the book, the Bible. But because he is at it for years, he is very good at interpreting the Bible. He can decode out stuff in the passages in the Bible that are very confusing! And critically, he backs up all his statements with direct quotes from the Bible.

Also worth noting that a very large number of his videos deal specifically with the Book of Revelation, the final book of the Bible. He is very good at interpreting the confusing End Times scenarios. But he is not a Doomsday guy, he just tells it exactly like it is!

That one man, David C. Pack, is solely responsible for bringing me back to God, and teaching me about God and giving me faith in God again. May God bless and protect David C. Pack and give him his rightful place in the coming Kingdom of God that will arrive on Earth very soon.

If you have a puzzling question about some of the stuff in the Bible, David C. Pack has answers for many of the questions in his Youtube videos.

David C. Pack is my Teacher, my Rabbi, and he has shown me the way to the Light of God's Kingdom. I am very thankful to him.

Nice list, but the biggest is this one: -

Tower of Babel

"As a result, God confused their language, causing them to speak different languages so they would not understand each other. By doing this, God thwarted their plans. He also scattered the people of the city all over the face of the earth."

With an all-knowing god, wouldn't it have made more sense to continue to have them speak in the one language?

Had he/she done so, we wouldn't be experiencing multiple interpretations of the bible which has led to numerous conflicts through man's history.

I mentioned this one before, it is easy to understand mathematics not open to interpretation.

The value of pi is 3.14159 rounded off. The Bible says the value of pi is 3.0. 10 cubits diameter, 30 cubits circumference. 3.14 x 10 = 30, the Bible tells me so.
1 Kings 7:23King James Version (KJV)

And he made a molten sea, ten cubits from the one brim to the other: it was round all about, and his height was five cubits: and a line of thirty cubits did compass it round about.

:-) Another religious thread about to die a quick death. Maybe we should give the suckers what they want by putting them in the science threads...

...they'll probably last a lot longer :-)

Batter Up & Sirius B,
This thread is for discussing David C. Pack and the Restored Church of God, and the videos they have on Youtube. Its NOT for discussing Bible Contradictions.

If you want to discuss Bible Contradictions, go and start your own thread and call it "Bible Contradictions". I might even join you for the discussion.

John.


Yes it is, that is if the title is anything to go by. For several thousand years the bible & it's offshoots have been about spreading the word of god.

You stated how you found god from David C Pack & posted that publicly. So before one visits youtube to watch those videos, one needs questions answered.

Some of those questions are about the discrepancies in the bible & without discussing them how can you state you've found god & expect others to view those videos?

ID which is it? I asked about the bible stating the value of pi being 3. Do you expect me to watch hours of tripe to get a spurious answer? Give me a link to the video with the time of the answer noted.

Strange how it is always 'religion' that is desperate to steal the legitimacy of science...


Meanwhile, Science continues to unobtrusively study the ploys and foibles of religions...
