God's most highly favored prophet to ever walk this earth is back once again slamming the Living Church of God and the Philadelphia Church of God for their understanding of the tribulation. He believes that both are too stupid to understand when the proper date of the tribulation is. Only he has the proper divination skills able to discern when the tribulation will hit. After all, God only speaks through the Great Bwana Bob Mzungu Thiel in this latter-day dispensation of the Churches of God. Everyone else is either too stupid to understand the signs or has deliberately chosen to ignore the proclamations of God's chosen mouthpiece.
For 13 years now, the Great Bwana Bob continues to suffer major butthurt over LCG's refusal to follow his demands to change their teachings. If Rod Merdith were still alive, I can picture him he sould be sitting at the conference table laughing along with Doug Winnial at Bwana Bob's continual outbursts made in self-righteous anger.
The Great Tribulation starts no later than Daniel 11:39
.
PCG, just like LCG, has the Great Tribulation starting too late.
Here is a statement from LCG’s Official Statement of Fundamental Beliefs:
THE “GREAT TRIBULATION”The Bible speaks of a time of great catastrophe, called the “Great Tribulation” (Matthew 24:21–22; Daniel 11:40–45; 12:1; Luke 21:19–36)—also called “Jacob’s trouble” (Jeremiah 30:3–7). Accessed 03/02/25
That “Fundamental Belief” is scripturally in error. And when I was in LCG, its evangelists Dr. Roderick C. Meredith, Dr. Doug Winnail, and Richard Ames all agreed that it was in error. And Dr. Meredith promised in a meeting with them and myself in December 2011 that LCG’s Official Statement of Fundamental Beliefs would be changed before the end of January 2012 to correct it.
But, that did not happen.
So, now, since PCG and LCG still officially teach that the Great Tribulation does not begin until Daniel 11:40 (which discusses the battle between the King of the North and the King of the South), they are looking for the wrong event, while overlooking the event in verse 39.
Unless PCG and LCG change on this, and other significant prophetic errors they hold, they will NOT know when the Great Tribulation will begin until after it is too late for nearly all of their members to possibly flee to the place of protection that the true Philadelphian Christians will be protected at.
Now, many of you know that one of the reasons I left LCG was not only its refusal to keep promises, but because of its position on the ‘Falling Away.’ In 2012, it declared officially that the falling away was not real Christians falling away from the truth, but non-COG professors of Christ falling further away from the truth. Its evangelist Dr. Douglas Winnail went so far as to declare 1) that doctrinal change would set LCG apart from others and 2) one was under Satan’s power if one did not accept the change.
I did not accept the change and worked for the last several months I was in LCG to show the evangelists there why this change was wrong–yet they would not get rid of it, so I had to leave.
As it turns out, over 11 years later, LCG’s presiding evangelist Gerald Weston, published a new position on the falling away, one much closer to what I had told LCG. While I applauded that correction, I would state that this once again validates my position that LCG is primarily a Laodicean group.
How so?
LCG had claimed its heretical 2012 falling away change was how it defined itself and one had to be under Satanic deception not to accept it. Then 11 years later, LCG later admitted that it was wrong. That means that all who remained in LCG those 11 years either accepted the heresy or supported a group that defined itself by a heresy they did not accept. Since that heretical doctrine was how LCG officially defined itself, accepting that was not Philadelphian, but Laodicean. I refused to be in a church that defined itself by heresy. The fact that LCG no longer does as it did, does not change the fact that it did for over a decade. Plus, it still has other heresies, but at least it does not define its distinctiveness by them.
There are serious theological and prophetic differences between various groups calling themselves Church of God.
Jesus warned that most endtime Christians would be Laodicean and NOT take the proper spiritual steps to be protected from the coming “hour of trial” (Revelation 3:10).
