Sectarianism, and Clericalism Meet The Brethren Head On In Poland

Since the current executive trustee took over the BSM/LHMM movement in 2004, subtle changes where made to the spirit begotten's writings. Most of the Brethren didn't pay attention. Those who did, and spoke up against the error were dismissed, called sifters, and accused of violating the arrangements. With the exception of Chicago, and the California ecclesia, every class in America was split in two. Now the same evil has reached Poland

The Burden of Proof Lays Upon The BSM/LHMM

1. What wrong doings are these Brothers guilty of? 

2. What conduct did they display that isn't conducive to any Christian?

3. What actions did they display that wasn't in harmony with the Parousia, Epiphany, or Basileia Truth?

...and their places be filled by still others who will be waiting in an attitude of consecration.

To our understanding the general call to this joint-heirship with our Redeemer as members of the New Creation of God, ceased in 1881. But we apprehend that a large number (in all the various denominations of Christendom— probably twenty or thirty thousand) who at that time had made full consecration of themselves, have not proven faithful to their covenant of self-sacrifice. These, one by one, as their full measure of testing is reached, if found unfaithful, are rejected from fellowship in the called company—to the intent that others who meantime have consecrated, though not under the call, may be admitted to full relationship in this fellowship with Christ and his joint- heirs, that they, in turn, may stand their testing and, if found unworthy, be similarly rejected and their places be filled by still others who will be waiting in an attitude of consecration. Evidently, by such arrangement, no necessity has existed for any general call since 1881. Those now admitted can as well be granted their privileges and opportunities without coming under the general call or invitation which ceased in 1881—they are admitted on application, as opportunity permits, to fill up the places of those who are going out. It is our expectation that this work of going out and coming in will continue until the last member of the new order of creation shall have been found worthy, and all the crowns everlastingly apportioned.

Demolition of the LHMM - Bro. Blaine responds to his class - Quorum, or Clericalism?

In November 2006, the same person working through the Bible House who was influential in splitting the Springfield Epiphany Bible ecclesia returns to his Keystone Heights, FL ecclesia to split that class. Can you guess who that person is? Hearsay? We think not.

Quorum?  More like orchestrated clericalism...

"This is what I came up with after using Bro. Ralph and Bro. Dan's critiques. Check it out and let me know what you think.  Herb"

Bro. Dan Herzig spoke at a recent convention in Poland and misrepresented the Chicago Brethren's communication with other Brethren concerning Bro. Ralph Herzig.

At 29 minutes and 49 seconds he says, "...They say history repeats itself. And when the split came when Bro. Ralph was the transitioning person, there was some Brethren in Chicago area that joined in on the opposing group. They knew a number of Brethren here in Poland, and pretty soon there is negative input coming by way of hearsay. We don't like Bro. Ralph. Why? Do you know him? Well, no... a brother or sister said. They wouldn't lie to me. Let's watch out dear Brethren..."

In each of the above examples, and other Truth related issues in America, there has been one person used as a catalyst for the problems here. Have you connected the dots to who that person is?

The Chicago Brethren aren't opposed to Bro. Ralph Herzig as the Executive Trustee. They are opposed to Bro. Ralph Herzig's misrepresenting the Truth and changing the Spirit Begotten's writings.

"Special Helpers usually become Leaders?"

Interesting that an article addressing the movement's business be found in the Bible Standard magazine rather than the Present Truth, where it belongs.

"Those not going at first to the sphere of this work (Jerusalem, v. 4), i.e., the majority of the Little Flock, were encouraged to help this work on with Divine Truth (silver and gold, v. 4) and providential helps (goods . . . beasts) and self denying service (freewill offering). This invitation was especially a charge to some Little Flock brethren to help the Great Company and Youthful Worthies unto their being properly built into the Court of the Lord’s Epiphany sanctuary, even though the Youthful Worthy class was already there during the Harvest."

Thanks to the Executive Trustee, we have to add text to Bro. Johnson's writings. If the Youthful Worthies were already a class long before 1914, then it should be indicated in some way.

Permanent Marker Series: E10, Foreword

"And, finally, when we consider the immense number of prophecies and types that relate to the actual overthrow of Satan's empire by the World War, World Revolution, World Anarchy and by the last phase of Jacob's Trouble, all four of these phases being mingled with famine and pestilence, Israel's large scale return to Palestine and conversion to Christ, the continued development of two new elect classes of God's people as such one class and the development of another, the Great Company and the Youthful Worthies the Youthful Worthies and the Great Company, as the Court of the Epiphany Camp, consisting of the loyal justified and the converted loyal Jews, we should conclude that it is one of the three main seasons of God's plan."

In E10, The Epiphany Messenger we have to start modifying the text on the very first page so it will work with the Executive Trustee's confusion on the Youthful Worthies. The term "as such" means as classes in the Epiphany. If the Youthful Worthies were already a class in the Parousia, then we need to indicate it and we need to change the order of the two classes. What a mess!

Permanent Marker Series: E9, Pgs. 349-350

"In a less emphatic sense he forecast saw the Youthful Worthy movement; for he taught that consecrations without the Spirit-begettal would take place from 1878 onward during the ministry of the Great Company. He did not use the term, Youthful Worthies; but he did speak of those who are meant by that term. We see about us such a class already in existence now forming. The Epiphany Truth has brought out various details with reference to this class; and his teachings now passing into visual fulfillment in seeing that they were already a class their development as a class, he must have been "that Servant" in giving us the information forecast; for such information a forecast implies that its maker was the one who had full charge of the storehouse—was that Servant. "

Brother Russell cannot forecast a future class if the class is already in existence during his lifetime. Here in E9, we've fixed these pages for the Executive Trustee. It now fits his error.

The "Dear Brethren" Letter

The following text is from a letter recently sent from someone within the movement to the brethren in Germany and Poland. No names are given. No errors are corrected. No author is listed. Clearly, it is lacking in the Spirit of the Truth. We've highlighted a few unique areas.

--------------------------------------------

Dear Brethren in Germany and Poland:

It has been brought to the attention of the Bible House (U.S.A.) that some of its appointees have been teaching progressive, so called, “advancing truth” from the platform and representing themselves as having the authority from the Bible House (THEY DO NOT) and demanding that the brethren accept these teachings; even though these teachings have not been presented in the Present Truth magazine. How can the brethren “prove all things” (1 Thes. 5:21) when thoughts are only presented verbally and not in our magazines? The Bible House wants to make it clear that these teachings and demanding (clerical) tactics are NOT sanctioned by the Bible House! This was evidenced publically by the fact that Bro. Dan Herzig was sent to Poland specifically to make clear the Bible House’s position on these matters. For some time now, the Lord has allowed these activities to continue, evidently for the purpose of imposing a testing work upon some leaders in our movement. This has resulted in a great deal of sifting work [incorrect teachings and clerical tactics] by some leading brothers. The Lord has brought these unauthorized activities to the attention of the Bible House thereby indicating to us that it was time to say, “no further” (2 Tim. 3: 9). We at The Bible House find it necessary to take some action to correct the wrong doing of these individuals that have chosen to go against the recommended arrangements of the L.H.M.M. as set forward by our Pastor’s. These errant ones proceed ahead of the Lord (at their peril) and act as Clerics with their demanding attitudes.

The Lord has brought these things to our attention and we now recognize the errant leaders that have made charges against brethren who have, in any way, resisted these “so called new truths” and clerical tactics. The brethren that are being railed against appear to be in good faith, serving the Lord through the L.H.M.M. As we consider these things it has become necessary for us to write against their false teachings and miss-use of arrangements as narrow, bitter and perhaps even slanderous. Unfortunately these teachers (entrusted with the Epiphany Truth) are not in harmony with it, but are in harmony with the past unfaithful clergy and their partisan followers who acted against the arrangements of our Pastor (during the Parousia time). Following our Pastor’s example, we notice that he did not allow himself to be diverted from his defense of the Truth or from his refutation of their opposing errors; likewise, we will not allow ourselves to be diverted by similar, ill-mannered and incorrect teachings of our day. 

Using our Pastor’s example, “we are set for the defense and confirmation of the Epiphany Truth" as led by the Lord. We will act accordingly whenever the needs of the brethren (sheep) and the Truth require it. It is for the same selfish and partisan reasons that motivated the cleric-like actions to deride our Pastor in his pertinent activity, and have also been motivating the Epiphany errorists to deride us in our pertinent activities (2 Tim. 3: 1-9); vs. 9 shows that God by His mouthpieces will thoroughly make manifest those teaching errors. The Bible House is the custodian of the Epiphany Truth, so if we should cease to defend the Truth and its arrangements from the attempts to set it aside, or any of its various features, the Lord would surely raise up someone else in our place to defend it However, we have waited for the Lord to manifest errant ones first, but even then, remain on guard that we do not put ourselves in the way of God’s Chariot; for if we do, it will surely run over us to our injury. His ways are best, they lead to rest, since God plans them all (PT 1946 p 149;-E-2, p. 91). God will keep only the very best tried and tested ones, just as was our Lord Jesus (Heb. 5: 8). 

Jehovah speaks of the effectiveness of his word in Isaiah 55: 11, “So shall my word be that goes forth out of my mouth: it shall not return to me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing where I sent it.” Though many fall around us, if we keep the faith we will find our place in the Kingdom of God, just as He has promised and hear His, “well done good and faithful servant.”

We wait on the Lord, seeking His leading,
Bible Standard Ministries (LHMM)

"(15) A number of times in The Present Truth, e.g., when treating of Ex. 12: 43-50, in the article on Israel's Enslavement And Deliverance, and of Ruth 2-4, in the article on Ruth, Type And Antitype, we pointed out that the strangers in the land (v. 14) type the Youthful Worthies. Their dwelling in the land leaving Moab types their being consecrated, i.e., in the Truth and its Spirit, while their not being born there types their not being Spirit-begotten. It is of the Youthful Worthies that v. 14 treats. For such an one to keep the antitypical Passover unto the Lord, it is necessary that he do exactly what the new creatures do with it (v. 14). He must keep it according to the statute (chukath) of the Passover and according to the judgment, ordinance (mishpat) of the Passover. According to the doctrine (mishpat—judgment, ordinance) he must keep it, i.e., in living faith in the Lamb as tentatively justifying him, through the tentative imputation of His merit. And according to the practice (chukath—statute) he must keep it, i.e., during the Gospel-Age from 1881 1878 onward as a part of Nisan 14, with the leaven of sin and error purged out, with the unleavened bread of sincerity and Truth and with the bitter herbs of trials, sufferings and persecutions, with the staff of God's Word in hand as his support, with the girdle of service about his loins and journeying out of symbolic Egypt to antitypical Canaan. When v. 14 tells us that there is one statute for the stranger and the Israelite born in the land, it gives us the thought that in the antitype there is no difference in what consecration requires of the new creatures and of the Youthful Worthies." 

We are now in E8, Numbers. On these two pages, we need to move Ruth's consecration back to the beginning of her journey in order to help out the Executive Trustee. Instead of it taking place at the end, in 1881, it now has to be in 1878. 

Permanent Marker Series: E7, P. 326

"To its claim that new consecrators are working side by side with consecrators of 40 years' standing, as implying that the door is still open, we reply that this conclusion is neither Scriptural nor reasonable; for even from 1881 1878 to 1914 many consecrated ones not begotten of the Spirit worked side by side with new creatures, and since the door is closed all faithful new consecrators do."

We continue our marker series through Bro. Johnson's volumes, now in E7. Here on page 326 in Gershonism is a reference we have to change so that it can fit the Executive Trustee's error on the Youthful Worthies. If they existed in 1878, then they should be working side by side with new creatures too.

Permanent Marker Series: E6, P. 186

"We might take as an illustrative example his error on Tentative Justification: Because the doctrine that the Youthful Worthies have been developing since 1878 are now developing is based on that doctrine, and has been urged (the Sword was thrust at his right eye on this subject) against his view of Tentative Justification, he denies that there can be Youthful Worthies before the New Covenant shall operate, if then. He didn't even know they were being developed in the Parousia. Because as against his error on Justification the Tabernacle Shadows has been cited as proving that the Court types the condition of both the tentatively and vitalizedly justified, and that the Gospel-Age Levites are the tentatively justified, he repudiates these features of the Tabernacle that oppose his error and introduces new errors to take the place of the opposing truths—"the Sword" opposing his right eye darkens it in this respect in a sense similar to God's hardening of Pharaoh's heart."

Again, red words in our edits do not exist in the original. Red words with strikethrough do exist in the original, but we feel should be removed to match current error. Now that there is a new Executive Trustee, the previous one now only claims his "Spiritual Leader" title, we're certain to see even more error. While we continue to address their confusion on the Youthful Worthies, they now deal with misunderstandings on tentative justification, the CECs, and the imputed merit. How sad.

Permanent Marker Series: E6, P. 178

"He likewise has failed to seek the young one, the Youthful Worthies. Denying that there can be such a class in 1881 long before the Epiphany and before the New Covenant is introduced, if then, he, of course, does not seek to win people for Youthful Worthiship. On the contrary, deluding individuals who might be of them into believing that they are in the Little Flock, he does them a most disastrous disservice, which later on will become apparent on all hands."

On this page in E6, Merariism, Bro. Johnson is showing how J.F.R. did not believe in the Youthful Worthies as an Epiphany class. J.F.R. probably would not have had that problem if the Youthful Worthies had already existed as a class way back in the Parousia (as is now taught by BS Ministries). It makes the whole thing seem quite silly. Even so, we try to help by changing text to make the Executive Trustee's error work.
