So Johnney, you're a cult member are you? :-O

Not a lot of good to be said about Packs on the internet you know, except for what's on RCG site, but I guess that you get that with a self confessed mad man running the show. ;-)

Cheers.

Well that explains everything then.

There is a lot of accusing going on here and as neither side can prove anything I can see little reason for this thread to continue, as it will just end up with everyone on one side and Johnney on the other.

I will lock this thread for now but am open to any good reasons as to why it should be allowed to continue.

I have been asked to unlock this thread, I cannot really see anything productive coming out of this but one last try.

Please keep things civil and remember if a persons links to something or quotes something on the internet, please do not treat them as if they wrote it.

Well done!!! [clap][clap][clap]. Aren't you great.


Oh good grief no! :) I am far from great :/ ... but do clap yourself :) You are a credit to the RCG :) and I am sure Mr Pack will be very proud of you.

Johnney... In retrospect, perhaps I should have opened a thread about cults instead of responding to your posts in this one :( There are so many and ultimately that alone would have helped to deflect attention away from this alleged one. I'm not sure whether it would have made you more or less angry - but I do sincerely apologise, again, for upsetting you.

As to the last three paragraphs of your previous post, there really is not a lot to say to that. A full read of the Ambassador report would help put things into perspective as to who said what about whomever, and where any burden of proof might lie, but as Bernie has very wisely pointed out, this forum is not going to achieve that.

I am not trying to save your soul or teach you about cults Johnney. I did briefly wonder whether you were, but I now realise that is not the case :) I do find your posts very interesting though.

edit: perhaps my curiosity does get the better of me sometimes though... so my apologies :)

I'm glad we got everything sorted out, so in the mean time.....

Here is a great video by the Restored Church of God and David C. Pack.

Its called; Is the End Near?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eJ_EZEwWfAQ (30 minutes long!)

In that video, David C. Pack discusses what the Bible says Through Jesus Christ's Revelation to Mankind about the End of the World. And when it will happen!

Enjoy!!

John.

Well Mr Pack certainly doesn't seem to like modern preachers, even the Christians, seems they are all emissaries of the devil

Only managed 15 minutes, that was enough.

Oh well each to his own.

Bernie,
I agree with you. The man does have many flaws. If I take a completely impartial perspective on this, this would be the flaws I see;

1. He is quite overpowering, but in an American Preacher type of way. You would rarely see this type of preaching in Britain or Ireland, or Europe for that matter. But it seems to be quite common in America, in many American churches. Its a type of loud and boisterous preaching, and it can be very overpowering. I see this flaw in many American Preachers. Some people seem to like that type of loud Gospel Preaching.

2. Like you said Bernie, he does have a very high opinion of himself. He does believe that his particular church, the Restored Church of God, is more special than other Christian churches around the world. I see this as a pretty major flaw in David C. Pack.

3. On their Youtube channel, they have far too much focus on videos about the Book of Revelation. Now while the Book of Revelation is probably the most exciting and intriguing book in the whole Bible, I think they should spread their theme a bit wider and cover more of the other stuff in the Bible.

4. This is something that really bugs me about David C. Pack. He always ends his videos by saying "Good bye friends". He never ends his videos with a Christian blessing, or even a very simple "May God Bless you". No, he never does it. I really don't like that about the man, it troubles me.

But in saying all those things, the work he does to preach the Word of God, straight out of the Bible, and to explain the Bible in great detail, outweighs any flaws the man has. He is a good man, with flaws just like all the rest of us, but he is trying his best to spread the Christian message in a world that is increasingly trying to fight religion.

I commend the man for trying his best. He is solely responsible for bringing me back to God, after I had been an atheist for about 25 years. And because of that, I am very grateful to David C. Pack.

John.
