A Review of the Two Pioneers Book - Part 4

As previously reported, Golden Dawn Tabernacle church officials released a biography on Pastor Isaac Noriega. They titled the book “Time-Tested Memorials, The Life Story of Two Pioneers: Brother Isaac and Sister Lucy.” A scanned digital (and searchable) copy of this 280 page book is listed below:

Changing of the Guard

The book "The Two Pioneers" frequently references the phrase "changing of the guard," a term often repeated by Isaac Noriega. This phrase alludes to the concept of succession planning, emphasizing the importance of younger, qualified members of the church assuming leadership roles. Marking a historic moment in the church's history, Isaac Noriega ordained the position of elders for the first time. This significant transition began in late 2015, as detailed in the following excerpt from the book:

Page 164 & 165: In preparation for this changing of the guard that was implemented as soon as the congregation moved into the new tabernacle, during the entire construction project of the third tabernacle, Brother Isaac went into an in-depth study of the Epistles of Paul.

As Brother Isaac was inspired to expound on these Epistles through the leadership of the Holy Spirit, he read countless quotes from Brother Branham's messages that explain every chapter and verse, line by line, especially the qualifications of pastors, elders, and deacons. Through these teachings, the Lord revealed to His people that there was a new generation of young men that had grown up under this ministry and were ready to be placed in their positions in the church of God. In addition, there were now older brothers who had held positions for decades as deacons and trustees and had matured while under this Word ministry. Thus, as the construction of the building project drew to a close, Brother Isaac met with the board, consisting of deacons and trustees, to nominate young brothers of good report who, based on their life and testimony, could carry on the work of the Lord and help take care of the house of God.

On Wednesday, December 16, 2015, the very week that the congregation moved into the new tabernacle, Brother Isaac preached on the changing of the guard, explaining that each member in the Body of Christ has a place and position to fill. The next week, on Wednesday, December 23, 2015, Brother Isaac ordained elders in the church for the first time in his ministry-older brothers who were a part of the new generation in the previous tabernacles, and having remained faithfully in their posts of duty were now fulfilling the roles of the Joshuas and Calebs. Brother Matthew was also ordained in this service as associate pastor. Two weeks later, on Wednesday, January 6, 2016, new deacons and trustees were ordained, consisting mainly of young brothers.

Does The New Guard Meet The Qualifications Isaac Noriega Taught?

The irony in Isaac Noriega's meticulous teaching about the qualifications of pastors, elders, and deacons lies in the apparent disregard of these standards by some of his appointees. Despite his detailed instruction, several newly appointed deacons have been embroiled in serious scandals, including adultery. One deacon is notably engaging in activities like drinking with coworkers and internet use, both prohibited by the church. Additionally, a trustee is known for drinking and gambling at casinos, and another has been involved in a pre-marital relationship. Instances of power abuse by some deacons, who seem to relish their authority, have also been observed. Furthermore, certain elders, deacons, and trustees struggle to maintain control over their families. Despite Isaac's claim of divine anointing for these deacons, the reality points to a human decision in their appointment. These issues have compelled Isaac Noriega to demote some of the leaders he ordained, undertake a leadership overhaul, and even threaten others with demotion unless they bring their personal or at least their public lives into alignment with the church's expectations.

Ordaining Associate Pastor Matthew Noriega - A Sham Election?

As mentioned above, Matthew Noriega was officially ordained as Associate Pastor on December 23, 2015. Before ordaining Matthew, Isaac claimed to have consulted both the deacon and trustee boards about the next potential pastor. Miraculously, they all said Matthew (according to him). He then repeated the story in 2021 and made it seem like the current trustee board, deacons and elders said the same thing.

We question whether they actually had a chance to vote, or if this so-called unanimous vote was simply a formality and sham election. The reason we are skeptical about the vote is because legally, Isaac Noriega had already set up Matthew Noriega as associate pastor several years prior. This is backed up by public record evidence shown below, where Matthew Noriega legally signed the Tabernaculo Emanuel Trade Name Affidavit, as associate pastor, on August 25, 2013. This was 2 years prior to Matthew being officially ordained or voted on by the trustee and deacon boards. This further solidifies the argument that Isaac Noriega is controlling all of the leadership appointments behind the scenes, which makes him appear disingenuous and deceitful as the legal document shown below directly contradicts the Two Pioneers book.

The book also revisits the topic of ordaining Matthew Noriega multiple times, also noting an intriguing development: Reymundo (Rey) Aguirre was ordained as Assistant Pastor. Additionally, it highlights that Matthew Noriega, who had already been ordained in 2015, was reordained or confirmed in 2021, possibly suggesting the need for an additional blessing or reaffirmation.

Page 171: On February 28, 2021, after Brother Isaac concluded his message in the evening service, he called up to the platform additional brothers who were ordained as elders, deacons, and trustees, in order to replace the elders who had gone Home to be with the Lord in the summer of 2020. Also, Brother Matthew was confirmed as the associate pastor, and Brother Rey Aguirre was ordained as the assistant pastor.

We are curious about the rationale behind Matthew's re-ordination or confirmation. Was it perhaps a move to reinforce his role as associate pastor to the congregation? This seems plausible, especially considering the confusion among church members following this event, with many questioning, "Wasn't Matthew already the associate pastor?"

Providing some context, Matthew initially received little attention from the congregation after his 2015 ordination. He rarely preached, if at all. However, during the COVID-19 pandemic, he became a more favored point of contact than his father, Isaac Noriega, due to his more empathetic approach. Following the passing of Lucy Noriega Rivera, Isaac began to involve Matthew more in church leadership. It was around this time that Matthew left his job as an electrician with Hawkins Electric to work full-time as a typist for Isaac.

Page 188 & 189: When the congregation moved into the third sanctuary, the changing of the guard began to come into manifestation. On Wednesday, December 16, 2015, Brother Isaac preached "The Placing of Elders, Deacons, and Trustees; The Changing of the Guard by the Divine Order of God." Then on Wednesday, December 23, 2015, a board of elders was ordained, which consisted of eight brothers who were aged, mature, and seasoned veterans.

Prior to Brother Matthew's ordination, a meeting was held that was attended by Brother Isaac, as well as the elders, deacons, and trustees. In this meeting, all three boards unanimously voted for Brother Matthew Noriega as the associate pastor.

The three boards acknowledged that Brother Matthew had a love for God's Word and God's people, and that God had given him the revelation of the hour, for they saw him growing in the Word. Also, Brother Matthew, his wife, and his children had an excellent testimony amongst us.

That same evening of December 23, 2015, Brother Matthew Noriega was ordained as the associate pastor by the laying on of hands by Brother Isaac. The newly ordained elders remained on the platform and prayed along with Brother Isaac as he sanctioned the gift that God had placed in this young man.

Page 192: As the ushering in of the changing of the guard continued, on Wednesday, January 6, 2016, Brother Isaac, by laying of hands, ordained eight deacons and eight trustees, which are made up of young brothers as well as a few older brothers.

Then on Sunday, February 28, 2021, Brother Isaac preached on God-called men, entitling his message "David: A Man After God's Own Heart." In this service, Brother Isaac once again laid hands on and prayed for the elders, deacons, and trustees. Then he called Brother Matthew up to the platform and laid hands on him as the associate pastor.

More recently, on Wednesday, February 15, 2023, five additional trustees were elected and ordained, to bring the total to twelve. In addition, a young brother was elected and ordained as a deacon.

Justifying Lack of Church Elections

The book mentions some William Branham quotes in an attempt to justify Isaac's position for disregarding church voting for electing church leaders, even though Branham Tabernacle regularly held elections.

Page 190: Brother Branham further affirms: The office of a man in the church is anointed, not appointed. It's anointed. The church, the ... the pastor, the evangelist, the prophet, the apostle, must be the anointed office of God, not elected by man. ..... But God does the calling. God does the choosing. God does the electing.

Page 191: When the church is given a choice, it chooses carnally by popularity, politics, and sight, as Brother Branham explains:"

Conclusion

Isaac Noriega teaches that no man has the right to preach the word unless they have met the pillar of fire. Has Matthew met the pillar of fire? Or is he simply being placed in a position to take over the church due to nepotism? There are public records of Isaac Noriega claiming to be the sole proprietor of the church as shown below. Is Matthew's appointment an attempt by Isaac to pass on the sole proprietorship to someone in the family? The fact that Isaac legally made Matthew Noriega associate pastor of the church years before he was officially ordained makes it painfully obvious that the elder, trustee and deacon boards are puppet boards that serve to make it appear as if the appointments were "duly elected." It is unfortunately a sham and the people in the church are being deceived.

Why is it that Isaac continues to appoint church leaders without allowing the church to vote on it, even though he has demonstrated that his selection of leaders has been historically flawed due to some being unqualified per his teachings? We believe that this boils down to the power and control of the church that Isaac Noriega desires, and will cling to until the day he dies. One can only hope that there will be more transparency and openness in the selection process in the future but it will only happen if the people stand up and demand it as is their right to do so.

I think I have never seen a ‘democratic’ system working in any church of the message. They don’t seem to be conceived to support and encourage a democratic system in any sense.  Moreover, it even seems that leaders associate a democratic system with evil, with something that is not convenient for them to practice. A democratic system can never work if freedom is not a value.  Just like freedom, democracy is cared for by everyone. How can you have a democratic system when individual opinion and criteria of the members are discouraged? We all know what ‘freedom’ or ‘democracy’ looks like in countries ruled by a dictatorial system. When those leaders say they are practicing democratic systems in their elections of governors, we all know it’s a joke; democracy does not work as it should when absolutist systems govern.  Freedom and democracy are like quality; it’s about awareness, caring for my interest and the interest of others, protecting my freedom and the freedom of others, valuing my opinion and the opinion of others.  But if leadership doesn’t hold these values, there is no freedom, there is no democracy.  If it is discouraged in every possible way, if it is discouraged in the name of God to have one’s own opinion and criteria, you will never have a genuine, real, honest democratic system.  If those who dared to question, to think for themselves, to have their own criteria had to leave or were somehow expelled because the leadership is uncomfortable having such people in their congregations.  No matter how much they say they are holding democratic elections, they are not, if those who choose cannot have their own judgment, it’s a joke that kind of democracy.  They know nothing about democracy or they don’t want to know anything.  It was like that in Shalom, we said we were meeting the requirements of ‘free and democratic elections’ but it wasn’t.  If any personal opinion or judgment had to be ‘discouraged’ from the pulpit, what you end up having are all people who submit to the opinion and judgment of the leadership, people who have renounced their own opinion and judgment to submit, out of fear, to the criteria and opinion of the leadership.  The rest of the people, they left, one way or another.  Therefore, the ‘democracy’ in the elections of leaders in the message churches IS A JOKE. Who are they trying to deceive?

Yes men — December 9, 2023#

The sad part is everyone at the church knows it’s a sham election. Everyone at the church knows the deacons, elders and trustees are just a bunch of yes men. Everyone at the church knows Ishmael gave Rey that spot because ishmaels son Steven raped Rey’s daughter and now Ishmael is in debt to Rey for it to keep it quiet. Everyone at the church knows Rey doesn’t deserve that spot because he is the worst deacon/elder/problem solver and he’s a liar. This document of Mathew being associate pastor may be new information to some at the church but it’s not going to change their minds. Those people worship their god Ishmael and not the true God. When ever someone did something “bad” the first thing they say is call Ishmael. Instead of saying ask God for help they tell you to ask Ishmael for help. They are scared of Ishmael and they will be till the day he dies

Spending the Lord’s money appears to be sweaty work.

Crusader 101 — December 9, 2023#

Great article! I remember all these incidents clearly. I also clearly remember one day during COVID when the people were going to Mathew (as the article states) and Isaac became so jealous and angry and he yelled: you go to him now? He’s not your pastor!!!! Also all the people he appointed were all of Matthew’s cronies. They follow him around. They kiss up to him constantly. I guess it does all circle back to nepotism and favoritism. I know most of the people inside GD see the lies, the deception, the shams and scams. They see it. They constantly talk about it and discuss it secretly. But they have badmouthed people that have left the church so much and they feel betrayed that people are actually speaking up once they leave, that they rather coward and ignore the truth. Keep exposing their lies!!! Isaac had it all planned from a long time ago that Mathew would be the one to inherit GD money cow. That’s why even tho Mathew and Sharon his wife had broken the rules of pre-marital relationships, Isaac still married them publicly. Don’t you see it? He has shamed so many couples and families publicly by not giving the young people a wedding? But for his own son he did. He gave him a huge wedding where ministers from all over the world attended. Knowing full well they had messed around before marriage.

Zeke — December 9, 2023#

The whole assembly is messed up. I think Matthew was the only one who cared for anyone. He is afraid of his dad though, and won’t stand up to him.

Former Member — December 9, 2023#

This is more proof that Isaac is a liar and a puppet master. The only reason people put up with it is because they are scared to death of him. Sad.

Alex — December 9, 2023#

I remember Ishmael telling the congregation that Matthew has been his assistant since early 2000’s and now he would see if it was something the church desired to help them. He ordained him in 2015 and told the church it was mostly for him and things he needed to do. He then later told the church after covid that the boards were going to vote who would be the next pastor. there is nobody there that is honest. Everyone does things behind every one’s back. what a sham! If Ishmael was dead and Matthew took over then maybe the church would have a little hope.

Saved By Grace — December 9, 2023#

Y’all think Isaac’s lil Prince Harry will be a soft teddy bear. True he is currently not respected and feared like daddy. Once he is given the crown the royal Noriega bloodline and personality will kick in. He will understand 100% his money and power comes by way of breaking bones and skinning hides. GD is ran “The North Korean Way” Kim Jong II passed the torch to a younger western educated, Hollywood film loving and spoiled Kim Jong Un. Initially it was thought by many (especially the young hopeful Koreans) that times would change and freedoms would return. However the older regime and military did not respect the son. He quickly turned the narrative on its head that he was a fun loving teddy bear. “absolute power corrupts absolutely” The GD people are hungry for change. unfortunately this won’t be similar to going from Moses (the law) to a young courageous for the people Joshua story.. This will be an epic changing of the guard ala North Korea. The Noriegas have too much assets and control to demand anything less than your entire lives. The Prince will be like his daddy

Answer — December 9, 2023#

You talk so much about how bro Isaac supposedly takes our money etc. but here u are paying for a website and dedicating ur time to him. So rethink - who’s really obsessed? Keep lying to yourself that ur trying to help the ppl get out, they will leave when they want. Stop wasting your time with these DUMB articles and enjoy ur wife, kids etc."

Brother Berean — December 9, 2023#

Isaac’s divinely appointed men? It’s all about Isaac adding to his power pyramid scheme. Wake up people! Here’s a lie from Satan himself. Isaac telling us he will present us to God. First off that is absolutely no where in The Scriptures of the Bible. As a parent our greatest duty is Honor God and your children’s children will be blessed. But instead you parents are giving your children to to serve his empire. The day I left my mom said “Isaac dedicated you to God and you’ll be absent when he presents us as a congregation to God” …I recently heard a young man who just left ask me that same question. We are not Isaac’s property. He is not a high priest who makes offerings on our behalf. It is a one on one relationship with Jesus Christ. Not by works lest anyone should boast (wink wink you’re GD legalistic rules are stinky in Gods nostrils)

Salty — December 9, 2023#

The church interpreter is feeling salty today!

Brother Berean — December 9, 2023#

To salty interpreter..Isaac taking money? You can’t steal from the willing. Our issue is with the treatment of children and women whose entire lives are stolen! No choice in school, no sports, no artistic freedoms, no opportunity to work for women. Women are not meant to be property. Young girls should not have to get married to have freedom. It’s just kids raising kids. Then what? these young girls are then under a boy who demands they behave like their moms (martyrs for Isaac sell outs with no ambition) these girls deserve more! How dare you “salty interpreter” sit there on your smart phone and browse the internet. “If I Were to Remain Silent, I’d Be Guilty of Complicity.”

Wait let’s think rationally and gather evidence before we judge Isaac.

Was Matthew was eating the honey before he got married? Yes Still had a gala celebration wedding What about all the molesting done by Isaacs first born Esau? You guys are paying for him to live inside the royal palace You want us to think that there was an actual election?

Hermano — December 9, 2023#

The only thing that is DUMB here is the Salty Interpreter’s argument.

PeaceMaker — December 9, 2023#

You can’t steal from the willing? Tithing is a practice described in the Bible where believers give a tenth of their income or possessions as an offering to God. This concept is emphasized in the Old and New Testaments, highlighting the importance of giving back to God and supporting the church’s work. In the New Testament, Jesus affirms the practice of tithing while stressing the significance of having a sincere and generous heart. Tithing is a way to show one’s faith, honor God, and support the church’s work. This is a common practice in all denominations. The Bible addresses the topic of women being subject to men in several passages throughout its texts. One of the most commonly referenced verses is found in the New Testament, specifically in the book of Ephesians. Ephesians 5:22-24 states, “Wives, submit yourselves to your husbands as you do to the Lord. For the husband is the head of the wife as Christ is the head of the church, his body, of which he is the Savior. As the church submits to Christ, wives should also submit to their husbands in everything.” This verse is often interpreted as emphasizing the idea of women being submissive to their husbands and acknowledging the husband’s role as the head of the household. It’s important to note that after this passage, Ephesians 5:25-33 instructs husbands to love their wives sacrificially, just as Christ loved the church. Understanding this balance of submission and sacrificial love is crucial in comprehending the biblical perspective. It’s something that young men in and out of this church should strive to emulate. Of course, there are outliers within and without the Golden Dawn Tabernacle, and they should not be an example of how women should be treated. Look at the world we live in. According to the National Coalition Against Domestic Violence, on average, nearly 20 people per minute are physically abused by an intimate partner in the United States, and 6% of all children suffer mental abuse. This is a worldwide problem. To suggest that all or even most attendees of the Golden Dawn Tabernacle are like this is entirely inaccurate. As mentioned earlier, this website tends to highlight the rare instances of individuals engaging in abusive relationships with their spouses or children. However, it is essential to note that these outliers do not represent the beliefs or values of most church attendees and leadership. The overwhelming majority within the church strongly condemns such behavior.

Brother Isaac was and still is anointed by the Holy Spirit handpicked by letter written by brother Branham Hate all you want but brother Matthew with all his faults has been chosen by God to take Elishas mantle shhhaaaa!!!!

Ligth — December 9, 2023#

Bro Mateo, you looks like PIGGY BANk…

GDT Research — December 9, 2023#

When these abuses are caused by leadership (or ignored), they should be held accountable, whether they are anomalies or not. When leadership lies to the congregation, they should be held accountable.

GDT Research — December 9, 2023#

The simple facts are: Isaac tried to put on a show of Matthew being elected by the boards, however, he had already put him in place as Associate Pastor, legally, years prior as shown in the irrefutable evidence we shared in this article. This is called deceit. Why are you protecting a deceiver?

Brother Berean — December 9, 2023#

Sorry but I am I reading here that abuse of women and children is not a problem in GD. Let’s not ever turn a blind eye to the real issues inside GD and call it a worldwide problem. Isaac says you are the elite little bride and he’s Gods chosen. Having ten plus years in handling family abuse cases the very first step in stopping it is to acknowledge it and uncover it.. The worst thing to do is to ignore or justify or deny its existence. Those defending GD abuse are victims yourselves. I’m not trying to be mean but I need to be honest. My family is in that horrific place and when I see their children and wives it’s hard to believe that people can be so evil and abuse under the name of religion. Isaac is responsible for several reasons (that’s for a later time) But as for now let me uncover the abusers Isaac has given positions of power through his divine authority. The hypocritical electrician deacon who beats his wife and she in turn beats the snot out of her poor kids for the pettiest of reasons. Like not sitting still for hrs on end in church. My mom has complained to me to file police reports on the marks she has seen on the little ones. The 2nd generation deacon who was put in charge of a sister and her kids after the husband beat the $h!+ out of her..the deacon then goes and defiles the mom as well. In law enforcement and counseling biggest violation of trust you can commit is to have sexual relationships with your Victims! They are in such a position of vulnerability. God also burned the children of the Priest Eli for the same acts in the temple. To pose as a helper of a victim and then defile them. The saddest thing about this is I’ve heard a church elder say this girl was ashore anyway … You all are victims of Isaac / your parents / each other/ and then in turn become Victimizers. Not elite! Now Let me say when I left by Gods mercy I have been able to see the hurt I caused other when I was there and forgave myself and I pray for you all to one day have the strength to walk to Jesus and heal

Selma’s First Family — December 9, 2023#

You all need to do your research. Just as your Devani appointed leader, Isaac had an encounter with a pillar of fire. His sons had an encounter as well. Hear me out His first born Esau has had many sexual encounters The hand-picked prince Mateo has had many encounters at the buffet line

Mathew seems so nice and everyone likes him now. But wait till his dad dies and Mathew gets a glimpse of all the money he could make with GD. He will turn more evil then his dad. It’s all about greed not God. And Isaac has proven that time and time again.

Isaac the dictator — December 9, 2023#

You’re an idiot. The website probably cost like $100, wow so much money! Lol maybe the author is dedicating their time to save live from your beloved dictator Isaac and pointing them to Chris instead of Isaac. But you’re too blind to see it.

You’re exactly right, they will leave when they want. But Isaac is scaring them and has a hold on them just like he has a hold on you to keep them/you there in his cult. You’ve believed his lies for so long you’re too scared to look up the truth for yourself and leave. It’s funny that isaac found his wife by going to a different church but you guys aren’t allowed to look for a spouse outside of the church. It funny that Isaac had premarital sex but he thinks he’s the next thing to Jesus. It’s funny that the Bible says the fruits of the Holy Spirit is gentleness, kindness, love, Peace, joy, faithfulness, and patience. Isaac only shows one of these and that’s faithfulness. But faithfulness to himself not to God. Therefor Isaac does not have the holy spirit as the Bible says. And you’ll go behind his back and be on the internet And commit sin against Isaac who makes you think he’s God. Haha how about you enjoy your wife and kids instead of living your life for Isaac. I promise you’ll be much happier. If these articles are so dumb why are you reading them. Maybe it’s something deep down inside you telling you it’s the truth. But your too much of a coward to believe it for yourself and your family.

Read your Bible — December 9, 2023#

@brotherberean. What these people don’t realize is that Christ came to earth and died for all our sins. Christ came and gave us a new covalent. We don’t have to follow the Old Testament laws. But GD will add in Old Testament laws to fit Isaac’s narrative. JESUS CAME AND PAID THE PRICE FOR ALL OF THAT. Because he knew we couldn’t do it on our own. But Isaac will scare them into thinking they aren’t good enough. And the reason he does it is because he know they don’t read the Bible on their own and he takes advantage of that.

Lol your too scared — December 9, 2023#

Then leave

Mason hands is a butt licker — December 9, 2023#

Lol Branham was a fake. Do your research. And you got your facts wrong. Branham never sent Isaac a letter saying he was anointed. All he said in a letter was “stay in your fathers church and shine your light” according to Isaac. Isaac anointed himself by saying He was the one in the front row when Branham said “if you want to know brother, you are one of them”. There is no one in the world but Isaac to corroborate that truth. Because he was the only one we all know that was in that meeting. And all you idiots fall for it. Isaac anointed himself a man of God by saying he saw Jesus himself in his back yard and the only other one who saw him was his wife Lucy. Wow, just like Branham, a family member who would have your back because Of all the money your making, would confirm your statement. It’s funny no one outside of benefiting from money can corroborate these stories. Mathew has only been chosen by is dictating father money hungry Isaac

It would be best if you read correctly. As mentioned earlier, it is unfortunate that there exist some outliers within the Golden Dawn Tabernacle who mistreat women and children. Their behavior should not be seen as an example of how people should be treated in the church. It is important to note that these outliers do not represent most church attendees’ and leadership’s beliefs or values. The overwhelming majority of people within the church strongly condemn such behavior. By the way, this is a global social issue, but it doesn’t negate the fact that there are outliers within the Golden Dawn Tabernacle and other churches. Brother Berean, Christians should believe this fascinating concept of God’s bride being in this world but not a part of it. Some might say that is elitism. This idea is rooted in the teachings of Jesus Christ, who frequently emphasized the importance of believers maintaining a distinct identity and lifestyle while living amidst a fallen world. In the New Testament, the apostle Paul further expands upon this idea in his letters to the early Christian communities. He describes believers as being “in the world but not of the world,” suggesting that while Christians are physically present in the world, they should not conform to its values or engage in its sinful practices. This concept highlights the tension between the kingdom of God and the worldly systems that oppose it. The Bible encourages believers to prioritize their heavenly citizenship and to live according to the principles outlined in Scripture, even if it means standing against the prevailing cultural norms. Of course, this does not pertain to you if you do not believe in God. If you are making accusations of abuse, it is essential to have evidence to support your claims. Hearsay evidence is generally not admissible in court based on someone else’s statements and not your own experiences. Like in any case, it is necessary to present evidence to support your case.

PeaceMaker — December 9, 2023#

It is important to understand that not all abuses in a church are caused by the leaders, nor are they always ignored by them. There can be various reasons behind abuses within a church, such as individual actions, systemic failures, or external influences. While it is the duty of the leaders to create a healthy and ethical environment, it would be unfair to hold them accountable for actions they did not directly cause or were unaware of. Therefore, it is crucial to consider the context and circumstances of each situation before addressing and holding leadership accountable for abuses and lying within a church. A nuanced approach that takes into account the complexities of organizational dynamics will lead to a fairer and more effective resolution of these issues. It is worth mentioning that these rare cases do not represent the beliefs or values of most church attendees and leadership, as the majority within the church strongly condemns any such behavior.

Unfortunately, it seems your mother misunderstood and was not correctly led to Christ. A pastor’s role within a congregation resembles a father’s responsibility towards his children. Both carry a profound level of accountability for their actions and impact on those under their guidance. Just as a father is held responsible for the upbringing and well-being of his children, a pastor is entrusted with his congregation’s spiritual guidance and growth. The pastor’s leadership, teachings, and overall conduct directly influence the congregation’s faith, beliefs, and actions. Therefore, it is essential for a pastor to recognize the weight of his role and understand that he will ultimately be called to account for how he leads his flock, just as a father will be held accountable for how he raises his children. This accountability serves as a reminder of the immense responsibility of such roles. The pastor’s actions and decisions can potentially shape the congregation’s spiritual journey. It is true that the Golden Dawn Tabernacle congregates are not property, and as a pastor, he will ultimately be called to account for how he leads his flock, just as you will be held accountable for the upbringing of your children.

The Bible emphasizes the belief that all individuals, pastors and congregants alike, will face judgment after death. In the New Testament, the book of Revelation describes a scene where all the dead, both small and great, will stand before God’s throne to be judged according to their deeds. This judgment is often called the “Final Judgment” or the “Last Judgment.” The Bible teaches that God is the ultimate judge, and His judgment is fair and just. During this judgment, every person will be held accountable for their actions, thoughts, and intentions during their time on Earth. The Bible also highlights that God’s judgment is impartial and that He will consider the sincerity of one’s heart and their relationship with Him. God’s judgment is a necessary part of the divine plan, ensuring justice and righteousness prevail in the eternal realm.

While it is true that Christ came to earth and died for our sins, it is essential to note that this does not negate the significance of the Old Testament laws. The belief that Christ’s sacrifice freed us from following the Old Testament laws is a common misconception.

Firstly, it is crucial to understand that Jesus stated in the New Testament that he did not come to abolish the law but to fulfill it (Matthew 5:17). This means that the Old Testament laws still hold value and significance in the Christian faith. While the sacrificial system of the Old Testament was fulfilled through Christ’s ultimate sacrifice, the moral and ethical principles conveyed in the Old Testament laws continue to guide believers in leading righteous lives.

Brother Berean — December 10, 2023#

@peacemaker. 1st I will start by saying that I appreciate a “Isaac disciple/sympathizer” respectfully attempting to explain away abuse and defending Isaac’s abuse of tje GD children and women. (the men have been castrated and choose give up their God given freedom) so this ain’t about them. That being said I will 100% disagree with your whitewashing of abuse in GD and attempt to make it the average amount (paraphrasing) Just a few reasons why you are wrong (I could give you volumes) Isaac preaches we are “the elite” the only way to salvation is through him. That’s not true you say? Then why does he take people out from The blood who go to another message church? Why can’t parents fellowship with their children who leave to another message church when they turn 18? Or go to find a spouse? Children who are born in GD can NEVER grow up and choose another church to fellowship and start their own families. Isaac treats us like property (Chattels). That is abuse of power from the dictatorship of Isaac. So right there you have abuse of power from the top. Religious Abuse is the most evil! No where does the Bible give the pastor control of the family structure, A pastor delivers the gospel and God does the work. We of all men are most says the scriptures yet Isaac gets to play God and prevent families who leave to fellowship with “his” congregation. Know one in GD are “his”. Shunning is a very evil and powerful tool used by jehovah witness and cults. So is GD better than other message churches. Do we possess the keys to heaven. Seems like we are the only church going in the rapture in Tucson, using Isaac’s reasoning of cutting people out. He controls every aspect of the father and mother role from childhood to adulthood (not the parents) Children cannot participate in activities outside of the walls of GD. Choice of school/Music/Arts/sports/summer programs. Everything is restricted or done in secrecy. Both are wrong The worst part is most people are like the boiled frog and can’t remember when Isaac allowed public school/ sports/ family vacations (not the wed-sun) / college/ park picnics women and men played volleyball and softball/ skirts to the knees (like Branhams daughters) this is a total abuse of power because families who realized the change was not of God but Isaac’s human nature. BTW it’s okay for Isaac to have his own set of rules, it’s his church. But the problem is when he made the rules as a means to salvation and separated families for going to Tucson Tabernacle or Love Devine because they didn’t agree with his policies. that is 100% spiritual abuse. Jesus called out the Pharisees for this exact behavior. It is not the right of a pastor to control people in this manner and place a yoke of bondage. It is similar to the temple charging extra for doves and lambs for salvation.. Isaac needs to be whipped! In closing his own son has sexually abused many of the congregants and you pay for him to live free inside mockingbird’s castle walls. I will save the 10% tithe for later. But start studying the new covenant brought by Jesus. That’s your homework

The children’s mouth piece — December 10, 2023#

@peace maker… You sellout get off the internet and go wash Isaac’s and his son’s feet..and give his oldest son Esau a great big brotherly kiss for all his victims..like Judas! There is no acceptable amount of abuse that I will stay quite about. We love those innocent children in GD.. each one is the apple of Gods eye. To quote Peace maker: “The behavior of these GD members should not be seen as an example of how people should be treated in the church. It is important to note that these outliers do not represent most church attendees’ and leadership’s beliefs or values” “Peacemaker” This is a complete lie! We gave you an example of your leaders! The 2 horrible individuals we called out for abuse were hand pick by Isaac. So he is not being led of God when he hand picks these deacons. It’s all about controlling the people with people he thinks will fall on the grenade for his rhetoric. Let me remind you “ the hypocrite electrician deacon” was one of Isaac’s hand picked. Our problem is not with him not following the petty rules of Isaac. Let me remind you he smacks and bullies his wife and worse yet she is a child abuser. Those kids are so scared when she’s angry you can see it in their eyes. People notice the marks and bruises (but like most people in GD silence is the rule of thumb) The other hand picked deacon (also the son of a deceased deacon violated all moral codes of a counselor and yet he chose to use his power given to him by Isaac to destroying the very women and her children he was supposed to be protecting This is detestable beyond comprehension..yet everyone closed a blind eye. The Bible gives horrible judgement for those who use positions of Godliness/authority to abuse those they entrusted to protect and your deacon chose to fornicate. The Bible also said it is better to put a stone around your neck and jump into the ocean than abuse his children.. And we gave an instance of 2 parents in positions of power who abuse their own children! But yeah GD is okay it’s the average acceptable amount.. and their outliers! We expose this behavior because we family and loved ones trapped in GD.

The people here are very hateful. Anyone in GD or close to them know the explanation for all this. It was thoroughly explained when you moved in the new church. Isaac always had jus son assisting with the church as stated by an earlier reader, but it would have to be something the church sanctioned. The congregation was given ample opportunity for each selectee to speaking up if there was a problem. You people are so hateful and will not be satisfied until all the ones you hate are gone. If people want to leave for personal reasons such as myself, don’t go after these miserable people. There’s much more out here that the little bones they think they find, which later you will find they are really from skeletons in their own closets. Those people are never going to change because of you idiots. They’re have been around for years and will be around for many years to come! Grow up!

A founder can do what he wants and use who he wants as far as administratively, but the people have to sanction it and the individuals have to accept the callings, which is what was done stupid people! If they are not accepted the founding pastor can still use them for his personal assistance if he desires. The website started well and now has become a joke, especially since everyone knows now who’s behind it all.

Saved By Grace — December 10, 2023#

@peacemaker.. sir your mention of keeping Old Testament and tithing is false. What laws are you referring to? There is over 600 of them ? When Jesus said he did not come to do away with the law but to fulfill the law. He backed this up by being the lamb that was slain for our sins.(this fulfilling it) since he paid the price we are no longer under the law. If I chose to follow a certain law as an individual I am free to do so. The minute any man (pastors included) try to project a certain law they have chose to follow upon you it becomes legalism. If I follow a coupe of the 600 plus laws and project it on others it’s pride and you lose your blessings similar to the example of Jesus saying to pray in your closet and don’t tell people your fasting. Where as GD we go to the front to pray before church to show we are ok..at GD it’s so easy to do outward things to make people think we are better. I was ok in GD when I showed up early and wore a tie and lifted my hands (all outward stuff) But now I have a relationship that is between myself and Jesus and the entire law is fulfilled when I love Jesus and others . the religious leaders had hijacked the Law and added to it their own rules and traditions (Mark7) Once you leave GD you discover that we don’t even really know about the Bible as far as the new covenant. The way you are responsible sounds like you may be GD leadership. So sad that a church leader knows so very little about the New Covenant, but it makes sense for GD. Acts 15 (read it) the 1st false teaching by the church in the Bible was doing exactly what you are saying “the law can save you” 1 Corinthians 8 covers the freedom we have been given as well. The law is like looking into a mirror. It can show you all your flaws, scars wrinkles etc.. but the mirror is weak in that it cannot fix the flaws. So since parts of the law are ok. Which ones will save me? 1.(Numbers 15:39) I hope you wore tassels on your suit this morning 2.(Leviticus 19:27) you must have long uncut locks of hair by your sideburns 3.(Leviticus 19:27) Don’t shave your beard (aw hell Isaac don’t even let you have a beard) 4.(Deuteronomy 6:8) Are you in church right now with out a “phylacteries“ (a box containing scriptures) on your head is there a cord wrapped around your wrist ….ok I’ll stop there.. you can’t pick and chose buddy GD takes away the power of the cross and puts the emphasis on Isaac’s ever changing petty self righteous rules .. Stink in Gods nostrils!!!

Read your Bible — December 10, 2023#

Which laws? And why some and not all? I don’t think God made them for us to cherry pick which ones we want to fit our narrative to control people. It’s either all or non. Thank God for Hebrews chapter 8:13 tells us we have a new covenant and the old one is gone away.

GDT is a cult — December 10, 2023#

Peacemaker, do you know Isaac? Have you been to Golden Dawn Tabernacle? Every service Isaac abuses the congregation. Many of the sexual abuse situations Isaac knew about and brushed them under the rug. Child abuse is condoned by Isaac. That’s why the people beat thier kids there so they don’t fall asleep in the 3 hour long service. Or they beat them so they know to stay quiet during service so Isaac doesn’t glare at them. Abuse and lying starts at the top and is trickled down. Just like you said in your message above The pastor’s leadership, teachings, and overall conduct directly influence the congregation’s faith, beliefs, and ACTIONS.

Saved By Grace — December 11, 2023#

@ GDT is a cult Yeah sounds leadershipish..they are such shallow minded people when it comes to the Gospel Crazy part that I always tell people that leave. Once you’re out and spend time in your Bible. Or in a sound Bible church for just 1 month! Or follow a reputable gospel preacher or preachers on YouTube podcast etc..ie Greg Laurie/ Francis Chan/ the late Timothy Keller/ Charles Swindol Robert Furrow to name a few.. In 30 days I promise you that the Bible and true Gospel of Christ will be more clear and you will see right through this legal control pyramid of GD..( they fear us that’s why we are demonized) Everyone who takes me up on a 30 day challenge can never be controlled by legalist and bad teachers like Isaac … ever again!! The hard part is getting past the first thing we are taught in GD It’s Isaac who interprets the word of our day to us Anyone up for the challenge let me know.. Worst thing that happens is you can call me a liar and I will admit I’m a complete idiot. Or you can stay there on GD and get hit over the head with a hammer then get built back up as the greatest Christians on earth and look pridefully at all the legality bs you do for Isaac as a means of salvation..basically treated like a battered wife addicted to the narcissistic husband who beats and then builds up Yeah there’s a reason Rey and Isaac only bully the sheep who are scared to seek the truth. They don’t do it to us who know that we are saved by Grace and no amount of Isaac BS rule following can save you. I’m sorry for those offended but do your research and tell us where lying

He will do what’s known as “closing ranks” and close you off from truth, freedom, research capabilities, even more so then now. Sheesh when are these parents gonna say enough is enough This is a sham money power structure and Isaac has you guys chasing his carrot of salvation..

PeaceMaker — December 11, 2023#

Your comment brings up a crucial matter: you stand firmly against any form of abuse, and I find it intriguing. However, I can’t help but wonder, what steps did you take before this website existed to address the prevalent abuse you claim to have been aware of? You express love for the children at the Golden Dawn Tabernacle, yet there seems to be no tangible evidence of any actions taken in response to the widespread abuse. Did you contact CPS, APS, or your local police station? Perhaps you could have contacted various news outlets to expose the actions of the Golden Dawn Tabernacle.

Let’s now examine the “examples” you provided. The first example appears to be based on hearsay. When making abuse accusations, it is crucial to have concrete evidence to support your claims. Hearsay evidence, which relies on someone else’s statements rather than your own experiences, is generally not admissible in court. Like in any case, presenting evidence is essential to substantiate your argument. If there is indeed evidence, as you claim, it would be more effective to bring it to the attention of the proper authorities rather than just venting about it on a website where no action will be taken.

Now, let’s move on to the second example. I understand that the deacon in question was demoted from their position due to their actions. You assert that the Golden Dawn Tabernacle leadership supports abuse, but their response to the wrongful behavior of one of their deacons contradicts that statement. This explicit action demonstrates that the Golden Dawn Leadership did not look the other way, as you suggested.

PeaceMaker — December 11, 2023#

I must respectfully express my disagreement with the opinion presented in your statement. While I understand the concerns raised about legalism and the potential misuse of Old Testament laws, I firmly believe that a balanced perspective is crucial for a comprehensive understanding.

To begin with, Jesus proclaimed his purpose to fulfill the law rather than abolish it. However, this should not be misconstrued as completely dismissing the Old Testament laws. Jesus’ fulfillment of the law signifies his impeccable obedience to it and his sacrificial death, which paved the way for humanity’s reconciliation with God. The New Testament consistently affirms the enduring relevance of the Old Testament, as it contains invaluable lessons, moral principles, and prophecies that serve as signposts to Christ.

Furthermore, while it is accurate to state that salvation is no longer contingent upon adherence to the law, it does not absolve us from the responsibility of living a life characterized by righteousness and obedience to God’s commands. The Apostle Paul, in his letters, underscores the significance of aligning our lives with God’s will and the moral teachings found in the Old Testament.

The Old Testament retains its value and relevance for believers even today. Although our salvation does not hinge upon strict adherence to the law, it offers invaluable guidance and wisdom for leading a righteous life. It is of utmost importance to approach the interpretation and application of the law with humility, earnestly seeking to comprehend God’s intentions and the underlying purpose behind each commandment.

Tithing, a biblical practice in which believers offer a tenth of their income or possessions to God, serves as a means of giving back to God and supporting the work of the church. This practice is emphasized in the Old and New Testaments, underscoring its significance. It appears that you may be selectively choosing which laws to follow based on personal preferences.

Ten cuidado cuando hablas de la gente a si, Isaac……a hora tú tienes un hijo sexualmente violento y hijos demasiado codiciosos….y esos son pecados en la biblia.

Richard — December 12, 2023#

Can you tell me where? Which Bible verses in the New Testament talk about tithing? I see that pastors preach it as a commandment, just like in the Old Testament. In the New Testament, I find verses that encourage us to be generous, true, and sincere. Truly and sincerely generous with everyone and in everything. There, I do find many verses. Being generous, sincere, and true includes being aware of reality, having empathy for others, imposing a tithe is reverting to the law. What Jesus came to propose to us is something more advanced than the law, he came to propose that we become aware, that we become aware of reality, of situations, that we become aware of others, these are the good news, to be generous, sincere, and true with awareness, with wisdom. And if my pastor has money and lacks nothing, has a good house and a good life, and he likes to manipulate the scriptures and get his way, demanding that we give him the tithe so he can have more power and more money. If I see that he has that habit and needs to keep us all humiliated, threatened, and afraid. And I have a generous heart, I have the ability to love, I have the ability to be aware of reality and the situation, the last person I would give money to is that abusive and manipulative pastor. I would give my money where I see real needs, not to a man who needs to have more power to subjugate and humiliate us. Grace, the new covenant, came to give more humanity to humanity, more awareness, more empathy. Grace is wonderful, it gives us awareness, wisdom, freedom, understanding, discernment, it connects us with what is real, with reality. Not to do evil. It is to do good, without impediment, effectively, with freedom, with wisdom, with love.

Strangely, I’ve encountered someone similar before on some social networks, they pretend to be various characters, one of them was like a poet, I could hardly understand him.

Saved By Grace — December 13, 2023#

I understand having been in GDfor decades, how scary and unsure of ourselves we can be when we think that Jesus gave us a new covenant we’re in he didn’t give us laws and rules to follow Jesus in the new testament gives very few commandments, because Jesus said he gave us two to love each other and love him The covenant was based on him dying for us and forgiven us our sins. All we do is love him the part that I could not understand while in GD was that Jesus made a covenant with us !! it wasn’t dependent on my behavior and my following rules it was my relationship with him the most important thing , that people need to understand about the new covenant Jesus made is that he made the covenant with us and he keeps his promise and we break it daily. Yet he love us.still! Could you imagine Jesus is love for us, being similar to Isaac’s? Which is based on your tithes, you’re offering ? how early you show up ? how long your skirt is ? What kind of hairstyle men wear? Do you have a beard ? are you wearing sandals shirt, shorts, etc. and that is why it is so difficult for this person posting for golden Don to understand that there is no rules to follow. It is not about a sacrifice or a commitment to Isaac Golden Dawn is based on this, and we somehow intermingled salvation it with Following these petty ever changing rules, our love for Jesus and our walk as a Christian space only us accepting him and loving him not a rule could you imagine standing next to Christians from the 1930s they will look at people in Worley or people from the 1600s we will look at them as weird especially men wearing leggings or wearing sandals long Hair and beards Isaac would not even let them in the front door I’m going to say it again it does not depend one single bit on us following any laws to make him love us anymore. Yes, very difficult when we are raising a society of control and commitment to a man, but this is what happens when you follow a man who made himself Moses presenting the law as a means of salvation I pray the people of golden Dawn leave this horrible place, and find her freedom in Jesus Christ, which is the only means of salvation. There is not one thing we can do to make him love us more.

Saved By Grace — December 13, 2023#

If you confess with your mouth Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that He rose from the grave you will be saved… Mr. peacemaker can you please please find me one law, which Jesus told us to follow fulfill them, because we could not the minute you tried to follow one you are under the curse the law, and must follow all of them. You are not even Jewish most laws we can’t even follow in America due to the kosher laws you don’t even go to church on Saturday, you are ridiculous for trying to say the law is in effect it is like a mirror it shows you your faults, your wrinkles, but cannot do anything about them It is our human nature to try to do things to make us feel good, but Jesus is not human like us. We do things thinking it pleases him, but this is not the case so stop with your foolish statements, and quit trying to bring the law affect it is a curse, you know deep down in your heart that the minute the golden people walk away from that place that is what is holding them there they need to fulfill laws, the realities, thinking that their grace is found under the roof of gold that is heresy you and Isaac will be held accountable replacing yourself as a high priest for making the people come on Sunday and Wednesdays and bring their turtle doves And lambs and charging them for it

New Covenant Crew — December 13, 2023#

Saved by Grace bro you just don’t get it. Jesus revealed to Isaac that showing up an hour early for church shows your commitment to him. Yeah Jesus is weak minded like Isaac yeah and even though Jesus and Mary were sandals, don’t you gold down people be wearing sandals and showing your toes that’s too darn sexy for Jesus nowadays. Yeah, guess what man even though they had long hair in Jesus time you better trim that or Jesus is going to be pretty upset just like he did Even though they adorn themselves with necklaces and jewelry in the Bible, you just don’t get it things have changed Jesus put out a memo, and he gave it to Isaac Yeah, don’t you be wearing them skinny jeans, even though they wore tights in the medieval times … Do you see the folly and all this crap that Isaac is bringing he can’t stay consistent from the 1980s when he had long hair he wore bellbottoms jeans he wore boots with hills wore large collared shirts like a disco king that sexy mofo. Now he putting his balls on us like a big dog for Christ Remember anything that you don’t do that Isaac says he’ll call you a rebel in a backslider where does that fall in line with the Bible and what Jesus said when you get to heaven, you tell Jesus that he was second to Isaac because you were scared of all the lies. He told you and you took him hook line and sinker. Jesus gave us two new Commandments love one another and love him and he fulfilled the law you can’t pick and choose. If you wanna follow one law you gotta follow them all.

If I think what David Alcantar is saying ..is Isaac is Lord to our fathers, grandparents, and to the kids 5 years or older.. Anyone that is currently under 5 will be under the next generations god..little g Prince Matthew.. In approximately 10 yrs or so Isaac will be in more senile thus proving our point those of you in GD now will not look to Prince Matthew as god like you do to Isaac. David Alcantar that is an excellent example point. These poor people don’t realize they are worshipping the Noriega family empire . Like the North Korean people under a family monarchy

Poreso Issac (su verdadero nombre ISMAEL), sus padres fueron ungidos para ponerle ese nombre …. Decia que el tiene un coraje especial por las jovencitos delgaditas, me lo advirtio una hna, y asi es !!! Les hace un infierno a las chicas delgadas y blanquitas y bonitas .. ya que el esta atormentado por los moustros gordos que lo han rodeado toda su vida. No se cual es su problema porque no a mandado a Mateo a los tratamientos quirurgicos y esteticos y costosos que pagó por Lucinda y su primogenito pervertido…. Odia a la gente delgadas…

Have you ever wondered what tithing truly means? Webster’s Dictionary defines it as “paying or giving a tenth part, especially for the support of a religious establishment or organization.” But let’s dive deeper into this topic. While it’s evident that you hold strong opinions on the matter, I respectfully challenge the viewpoint expressed in that statement.

Tithing, as we know it, extends beyond the confines of the Old Testament and finds its place in the New Testament as well. Although it may not be explicitly presented as a commandment, the New Testament emphasizes the significance of giving generously, as you rightly pointed out. However, let’s not jump to conclusions and assume that all tithing funds end up in the hands of the pastor at the Golden Dawn Tabernacle.

At the Golden Dawn Tabernacle, the allocation of tithes is a crucial aspect of biblical teachings, highlighting the principles of stewardship, generosity, and compassion. According to the Bible, tithes are typically directed towards the local church or religious institution. These funds are utilized to carry out various ministries and cater to the congregation’s needs. The allocation serves many purposes, including maintaining the sacred space and providing salaries for the pastor and staff. However, it doesn’t stop there. Tithes are also directed towards assisting those in poverty, widows, orphans, and even strangers. This intentional distribution ensures that the resources uplift the less fortunate and promote social justice within the church community. Giving tithes, therefore, becomes an act of faith, obedience, and trust in God’s abundant provision.

Curious about how tithing is distributed at the Golden Dawn Tabernacle? I encourage you to drive by their church grounds and witness the tangible impact it has made. The money collected from church members’ tithes has been instrumental in constructing various buildings within the premises. These include a new church, a fellowship hall, and even homes for the elderly. The tithing funds have also supported ministers worldwide and facilitated the distribution and translating of message books into Spanish.

Furthermore, these funds have been utilized to aid widows and individuals facing financial hardships within the church. These examples are rooted in evidence, demonstrating the church’s commitment to making a difference. While I might not be able to provide specific evidence of countless families that the church has assisted, it would be unfair to assume that all the tithe money goes directly to the pastor of the Golden Dawn Tabernacle.

So, indeed, the New Testament may not explicitly command tithing, but it undoubtedly guides us toward the importance of giving generously. It’s crucial to understand that the Golden Dawn Tabernacle adheres to the teachings of William Mariam Branham, considering him a prophet. According to Branham’s teachings, tithing is a practice all Christians should embrace. This belief is not exclusive to the Golden Dawn Tabernacle but is shared by numerous denominational and non-denominational congregations. In his book, “Counterfeit Gods,” Pastor Timothy Keller asserts that “tithing is the minimum standard for Christian believers. We should aim to give more, not less, of our income, recognizing the magnitude of what God has done to save us.” From a cross-centered perspective, it becomes inconceivable to give any less than what the Jews gave under the law. Echoing this sentiment, Pastor Charles Rozell Swindoll, an evangelical Christian leader, affirms that “we honor God by first giving to Him from our paycheck. In doing so, we acknowledge His ownership of everything before we enjoy any of it ourselves. Regardless of our income, we prioritize giving a portion back to the Lord.”

When understood in its entirety, tithing opens doors to a world of compassion, generosity, and impact. It becomes a tangible expression of our faith and a way to transform lives within our church community and beyond.

The Golden Dawn Tabernacle strongly believes in the sacred principle of tithing, which is deeply rooted in its values. However, Richard, since you are not part of the Golden Dawn Tabernacle, you have the freedom to form your perspective on tithing.

PeaceMaker, you present your argument well, almost convincing me, but you’re too late. Pastors have disappointed me in this matter. Remember, I’m an experienced adult, I stopped being naive a long time ago. The concept of tithing reads wonderfully, but in practice, other, very dark and ugly things are observed. ‘For the love of money is the root of all evil’, and if you add to that the love of power and the need to control everything and everyone, you get a very dark and obvious formula.

To help you understand better, I’ll tell you my testimony regarding tithing. It was in my youth, in the 90s, during the nearly ten years I was under Hugo’s ministry in Buenos Aires. I was quite gullible and innocent and I really believed in Hugo, in what he preached. In those days he preached that tithes were for the priesthood, in other words, for him. And the offerings were for the construction of the temple, maintenance of the temple and helping the “orphans and widows”, so I gave my tithe for him to study the word, for him to dedicate himself full-time ’to the lord’ so he could minister to us as God commands, and as we were building the temple, we made our offerings for the construction.

In my gullibility, innocence, and good faith, I did it, and not only that, I collaborated in more things supporting the ministry. Until one day I began to see that Hugo manipulated the scriptures for his own convenience, he arranged them to get his way. Literally, we all gave him money so that he would learn more and more how to get his way, to control and dominate our lives. Hugo became more and more controlling and addicted to having that control.

When I realized what kind of church I was in, under what kind of ministry, it was heartbreaking for me, almost 10 years putting my trust, effort, money, there I had my friends. In other words, putting my youth, investing my youth in that place, only to discover that I was deceived. Hugo also preached that if you give tithes you have the right to an opinion… Guess what? When the time came, he had his way, if it didn’t suit him, he had ways to disqualify your opinion, with the same scriptures, with the same word of God that you claim to believe in. I didn’t last much longer there…

I felt cheated, that’s when I started to use my intelligence, to review everything that had happened, how I fell into his trap, his needs above all of us. And in order not to hate him, I decided to understand him, and yes, there I saw a very insecure man, with much ignorance, with little preparation, very jealous, territorial, his jealousy and insecurities were stronger than himself. He needed to copy someone, he needed to be like someone else and above all, he adored and admired the god of power and that was his hope. Surely the power of dominance is the only god he knows.

I tell you this so you better understand why I think what I think, it’s my testimony. I always saw it, the love of money and power corrupts men, also women. The concept of tithing is good, and as you explain it, it looks fabulous, but you have to see and also tell that other side. My opinion is much better understood in its context, each opinion has its context. Your opinion also has a context. Tell us about your context. Do you tithe? Are you a beneficiary of people’s tithes? What is your experience with tithing?

En GDT no le es suficiente con el diezmo, ellos te obligan a darlo Todo, te hacen porner Tus propiedades a su nombre, cobran renta en las supuesta casas de ayuda social, y les tienen amenazados a no decir nada ya que Al gobierno le mienten y le dicen que son gratuito, ellos han hecho demandas de cualquier oportunidad que pinte a su ventaja, aun de las muertes durante la pandemic que Ismael causó, ellos se aprobecharon para quitarselo a las victimas de los familiares afectados… Ismael grita y se pone morado desde el pulpito cuando se trata de dar en las ofrendas, ahora estan haciendo negocios compranfo casas y remodelandolas , y las revenden , a los " nesecitados"… Hasta ya tienen agente de venta de casas…. ese hombre ama el dinero.

So…..I know Matthew a little as we worked together a lot when he was young….but the thing that seeyto have changed….I was there in Isaac’s house when we voted to build the first church….even voting on what the church name would be …I was like 14..I remember him complaining about the the things that were his …his house and so forth belonged to him…I really did not understand why he was so upset… I also remember that in a trusste meeting he said the people or church members were resources for him …that he could draw from those resources…He also told me me one time he felt like if he had an emergency…let’s his sink was overflowing the whole church should respond to that…Over time he just got bolder and then just outright requires people to work… But the question is …who owns all that property…I qurantee it will not be the people… He has shams every one and the reason for all these buildings is that he is putting money in the ground because the value will increase…all with mostly free labor…and for what …Bro Branham said ..the Catholic Church owns it all..and the church building will just become a storehouse..
