The Da Vinci Code, Christianity and the Bible
The Da Vinci Code has sold more than 40 million copies and has been made into a major movie. But how much of the story is fact and how much is fabrication? And how important is it for you to know?
by Don Hooser
The Da Vinci Code is a fictional thriller that is supposed to be set against a backdrop of real history. But how much of its "history" is actually true?
The timeless and perfect standard of historicity and truth is the Bible. It contains true history—God's flawless account of the past, present and future.
The Da Vinci Code attempts to reconstruct Jesus Christ, reinvent Christianity and radically revise the Bible. One of the book's major characters presents its major premise on page 235: ". . . Almost everything our fathers taught us about Christ is false."
Which should we believe, The Da Vinci Code or the Bible? Popular Christianity isn't much help. Ironically, the Bible discredits much of today's Christianity as well, as we shall see.../

Shimon Peres works for the Vatican
The same dark powers that murdered Yitzhak Rabin, the vulture Shimon Peres and criminal company, continue to sell out Israel and betray Jerusalem to the Germans and Jesuits. The fascist EU prepares to occupy Israel!

David Pack & the Restored Church of God
I'm aware of David Pack, Pastor General of the Restored Church of God. I also remember clearly how he didn't even know me when he was with the Global Church of God (that I visited once) but said most people who change their names are off-the-wall (something to that effect) and felt I should take my former name of David Hoover back and should seriously consider it as he contacted his superiors (they must have told him to back off as he never brought it up again).
After I thought and prayed about it - rejecting David Ben-Ariel for David Hoover as David Pack sternly suggested - I rejected the notion and questioned how anybody inspired by the Holy Spirit would make such a demand, as I honestly consider David Ben-Ariel my God-given Name, as I've written.
I also remember clearly how David Pack said to me, when I was being honest about my past, troublesome times when I was backslidden in some areas, that he thought I was never converted! Unlike Jesus who offers constructive criticism, who encourages you with the good and calls upon you to change for the better, all David Pack did was tear down and seek to destroy! That was not the Holy Spirit of God working through him.
Before this experience, David Pack had come at my request and visited with me and several other friends who had gathered to hear what he had to say in Toledo, Ohio. We were invited to the one service of his we attended in Ohio. He brought a box of materials the Worldwide Church of God no longer printed to make a statement. We all felt Gerald Flurry had already made that statement and was the first to do so, even though we hadn't yet attended with the Philadelphia Church of God.
When four of us visited with the Global Church of God, my friend Carl gave him a copy of his booklet against abortion and I gave him one of my booklets (either God and the Gays - the first of its kind in the Church of God, or "Religion in America - the REAL Danger") he acted very interested, but later told me he never met a more proud person than Carl! Carl didn't appear proud at all and was merely happy to do whatever he could to help expose and end the evil of abortion.
When David Pack said something to the effect that the Global Church of God was not for me, I asked him why he invited me then and he then acknowledged he only invited me along with the others because he felt they were good candidates for membership. In other words, he was being deceitful. Since then I've heard horrible stories about his pack of lies and hope it's not true but suspect that it is, due to my own eye-opening experience with him.
I trust there are true Church of God members among the Restored Church of God flock, as with the other groups of scattered brethren, and I hope God spares them from such wolves and that they maintain, first and foremost, a personal relationship with the Shepherd of our souls, and not trust in any man for salvation.
I've seen some of the attractive literature the Restored Church of God offers, but doubt that I will link to it. I hope David Pack has repented of his sins that God may restore him and help him heal those whom he's sickened and be reconciled with both God and man.

Jesus would never marry a traditional Christian!
Yeshua will not be unequally yoked with those who refuse to submit to Him as the Head of the Body, who stubbornly refuse to keep the same biblical Sabbath and festivals as Him, following His lead, who instead prefer the idolatrous traditions of Roman wolves in sheep's clothing, eating abominations, and engaged in every unclean pagan practice whitewashed as "Christian."
The true Bride of Christ, not some cheap whore or prostitute (Rev. 17:5), is washed in the blood of the Passover Lamb (not Easter bunny) and loves God with all her heart, pioneering the biblical ways and days that will be taught throughout all the earth when Yeshua returns and reigns supreme from Jerusalem with us at His side forevermore!

HWA "in the power and spirit of Elijah"?
HW Armstrong "in the power and spirit of Elijah"?
That means Herbert W Armstrong was in the same holy mindset, mission and purpose as Elijah, authorized from Heaven to help restore the "Lost Ten Tribes" to the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, away from the Gentilized Israelite practices of the Babylonian Mystery religion masquerading as traditional Christianity, and back to the faith once delivered to the early Church in Jerusalem - not bloody Rome.
Herbert W Armstrong is now dead and buried, just like the original Elijah, awaiting the first resurrection and transformation from human to divine at the return and reign of Jesus Christ.

The Plain Truth - now The Philadelphia Trumpet - read in Israel
From: Trudy Gefen
To: davidbenariel
Sent: 5/1/06
Subject: Herbert W. Armstrong mentioned in Israeli newspaper
Just received the May 2006 issue of The Philadelphia Trumpet. Very interesting articles: The Deadly Holy Roman Empire, a frightening article "Israel's Final Chapter" (G-d forbid) and From HERO to OUTCAST. The other articles I have left to read another day, as I got a bit too depressed by the aforementioned. Of course, I've been reading this magazine (formerly The Plain Truth) almost continuously since the first one fell into my hands in 1965 here in Israel (at the Weizmann Institute) and have been either elated by what I have read, or upset. Usually, the latter. Luckily I have the Bible to which I turn to whenever the blues descend upon me, and invariably after reading some pertinent prophecies which present more pleasant and optimistic promises than the invariably grim warnings in The Philadelphia Trumpet/Plain Truth, my spirits are uplifted and my determination to remain in Israel strengthened more than ever, in spite of my fears for the welfare of my loved ones - and indeed everyone living here.
Still, I am not looking particularly forward to the Final Days even though a very good Christian Zionist preacher friend living here in Israel (we've been friends now for about 20 years) told me that the safest place to be in those days will be Israel. Yes, it will be hard, he said, but what will rage outside Israel will make our experiences look like a picnic in a hurricane/tornado. After all, he said, the safest place to be is in the eye of a storm. You get battered, but not as badly as those on the outside as the hurricane/tornado sweeps all before them. I hope he's right, though at the same time I pray for the safety of all the good people out there too.
Warmest,
Trudy

The CURSE of ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION
We must expose the ugly racism of the militant Mexicans, the subversives who hate Anglo-Saxons and seek to pervert our biblical inheritance of Manasseh into something illegitimate and cursed, just another third world country:
Who is Mecha
May 1: Illegal Immigration Day Defused
"How come you quote the Bible in this instance as only being written as affecting the US?"
Since we're experiencing the curse today, I'm bringing attention to these appropriate Scriptures as they apply to the USA today. Of course, they actually do apply to all our British-Israelite countries, our biblical family of nations, as is evident in Israel's problems with Arab terrorists, Rhodesia being perverted into Zimbabwe, South Africa raped by the Communists, etc.
The Time of Jacob's Trouble is rumbling, the gathering Storm accelerates; will we wake up and seek shelter in the God of Israel, the God of the Hebrews, the God of the Bible or suffer defeat and deportation by the fascist EU?
