PASTOR GENERAL'S REPORT, January 31, 1980
Page 2
court dismissed the accounting firm from the case.
Although NO CRIMINAL CHARGES had been made in the suit, it was well
understood that was the BASIS for the whole lawsuit.
But there never was any PROOF--for of course no such thing had ever
happened! All they had was a false supposition by six disfellowshirped
members seeking revenge! Even they had no evidence--it was a false
trumped-up charge by false men. The reason the State came SUDDENLY on
January 3rd, without even the legally required advance notice (in which
THEY broke the law), was to seize our records before we could protect them!
They got the records, and at the request of the Attorney General, the
country's largest CPA firm went carefully over the records for WEEKS.
But no such evidence was found!
The lawsuit was against the Worldwide Church of God, affiliated
corporate organizations, and principal officers of the CHURCH, as chosen
by Jesus Christ.
In other words, IT WAS A LAWSUIT AGAINST GOD ALMIGHTY, against the
LIVING JESUS CHRIST, AND AGAINST HIS CHOSEN APOSTLE, AND GOD'S CHURCH-
which BELONGS TO THE LIVING GOD.
When the Philistines came against Israel, with the giant Goliath,
young David said, "Who is this uncircumcised Philistine, that he should
defy the LIVING GOD?'' The attack was not against David, nor even Israel,
but against the LIVING GOD!
According to the dissenters,David and all Israel should have "caved
in." For it was a GOVERNMF.N'I' (the Philistines) who came against God's
CHURCH of the Old Testament, and it's a GOVERNMENT of men that has now
come against the CHURCH OF THE LIVING GOD!
The State is not attacking a ."1.AN. They have made no criminal charges.
We are not being tried on a criminal charge. The ONLY evidence there
possibly could be has proved the allegations of six former, bitter, and
expelled members were FALSE! The State should now GIVE UP--but, being
politicians, and seeking only SELF gain politically, they won't until a
higher court dismisses the case. I petition daily to the highest Court of
Heaven to intervene and cause dismissal, and in God's due time HE WILL!
When the giant Goliath came against God's Church of the Old Testament,
the giant was huge, with all kinds of armor and weapons. He looked on
David as small, and he underestimated David and his God. So the State of
California is HUGE--largest in the Union--and it regarded GOD'S Church as
small and weak, and one that would "cave in." But God gave David power
to conquer the giant, and He will give us power to win this suit!
Now back to Romans 13. In chapter 12, Paul was talking about the
individual Christian's duty. In 12:1, Paul beseeches the Christians at
Rome to each present his body a living sacrifice to Christ. In the
spring of 1927 I literally gave my personal SELF over to Christ who had
bought and paid for me with His life's blood. Have YOU? In verse 3, Paul
says to "every man that is among you," (speaking to individuals) "not to
think of himself more highly than he ought." He continues speaking to the
individual Christian. Then, continuing in chapter 13, he speaks of each
individual being subject to the higher powers.
