Argument XIV
T here are times when Mr. Pack thinks he can get away with treating his audience like fools. In this particular phase of his case this COG leader does just that. He implies that the authors of A Sabbath Test actually want God's people to go hungry on God's day. He then argues that dining out in restaurants on holy time is acceptable with God because it satisfies a critical need for sustaining life. We aren't making this up. These are his words.
David C. Pack:
Our Response:
This characterization of A Sabbath Test is deceptive to the core. In TRUTH the authors are NOT saying, or implying any such thing. Furthermore, Dave Pack knows it. Art Braidic and Dennis Fischer are NOT against food. That is just silly. They are against Dave Pack acquiring it on the Sabbath. Come to think of it, so is God (Ex. 16: 4-5). They are also opposed to Dave Pack having his Sabbath meals prepared on the seventh day. Come to think of it, God is opposed to that as well (Ex. 16:23). What this COG leader is suggesting is tantamount to saying that the reason God prohibited His people from gathering manna on the Sabbath or, preparing it on that day was that He wanted to deny His people the "necessary nutrients for life." Does anyone honestly believe that? For Mr.Pack to advance this argument is insulting to the truth. There is not one ounce of honesty in it. However, he proclaims it as a "Biblical fact" in order to justify going out into the world on God’s Sabbath and seeking out unbelievers who trample on this day, then paying them for the fruit of their Sabbath labor. Tragically, this church leader engages in this behavior despite the fact that every part of God’s Sabbath law forbids it.
