Geoff Neilson has more amazing insights for the Church of God.
Satan is soooooooooooooo pissed off at the COG that he is resorting to all kinds of silly pranks in order to make life difficult for TRUE COG members. Satan knows that 700 different splinter cults of Armstrongism want to flee to Petra where they will all coexist in complete harmony for 3 1/2 years. It will be love fest as never before seen in human history and Satan is NOT happy!
I cannot imagine what it is like to have a mind so finely attuned to numerology, prophecy and world events so that every story you read can be found to have prophetic significance.
IF THE CHURCH IS GOING TO PETRA,
IS THE DEVIL BEHIND THIS FLOOD
OF DESPERATE REFUGEES TO NEAR PETRA?
--Geoff Neilson--
"In less than three years,
the Syrian conflict has forced well over two million
of that country’s citizens to take refuge in other states.
...600,000 to Jordan..."
So such things ARE impossible for God?!
ReplyDeleteOr is God trying to get the splinters to realize He's not involved with them?
It just looks as if Herbert Armstrong and the Armstrongists don't know God The Father at all, which would make sense for people who follow a dead false prophet who committed incest with his daughter for 10 years in the first part of his ministry -- it's doubtful such a man would have any spiritual understanding at all and would not only plagiarize everything he taught from others (because he couldn't understand the spiritual) but would found a religion which was entirely physical, focused on the minutia of tithing, keeping feasts, clean and unclean meats and all physical rituals without one shred of following Jesus and understanding redemption.
The real test would be whether those who joined were transformed from the inside out or had to try to force themselves to change from the outside in.
The fruit just isn't there.
I am so glad that I no longer need to assign any sort of prophetic significance to the news as I read it these days.
ReplyDeleteIn the old days, I felt like a continually stretching rubber band, as in "Wow! Such and such just happened kind of like Mr. Armstrong said. Boy, we really don't have much time! I sure wish my aunt and uncle would come into God's church!" And, then within the next few weeks, the problem would clear up, the threat would be gone, and then it would be like, "That's really strange! False alarm. Now it looks as if we have at least a couple more years!"
Every stinking time the stock market took a dive, some new European head of state was elected, or the price of gold went up, a pope became ill, or we had any sort of record breaking weather, it was ulcer time. Finally, I just wanted it to be over, and whether or not "they" wanted it to actually be over in 1975, so far as I was concerned, they had failed in their most important moment, and it was over. Life has been pretty darned good since then!
There are probably a bunch of people who hate to live with all the drama, but feel trapped, that there is no other way. I got news for them! There is!

Is "to near Petra" even grammatical?
ReplyDelete...they will all coexist in complete harmony for 3 1/2 years. It will be love fest as never before seen in human history and Satan is NOT happy!
ReplyDeleteLOLLL!
Wouldn't it just piss Geoff off if the population of refugees at Petra hits 144,000, and then all of a sudden Jesus shows up and is like, "There's my peeps! What, were you expecting the British or something?"
ReplyDeleteSomeone needs to open a Petra-Hut there ASAP. Could be lucrative
ReplyDeleteActually Dennis, there already is a Sbarro Pizza in Petra, complete with delivery service and even its own FACEBOOK page...

I will have two larges, with thick crust, Chicago style, with lamb, leeks, and onion toppings. (Also bring a two liter of Mountain Dew with the delivery)
The big doctrinal debate will be if you are allowed to have delivery on the Sabbath.
Luv,

Petra-Hut...now that's funny!
ReplyDeleteYeah, ol' Satan, a powerful thingie he is. Immortal (only God is immortal, according to one passage in the NT). Omnipresent (like God is). Sounds like Satan and God are one and the same to me - sorta like a Jekyll and Hyde sort of thing. It's like God has this light side and a dark side and the dark side is winning.
ReplyDeleteHere's a sensible idea: Go somewhere else.
ReplyDeleteI understand that there's an entrepreneur looking for colonists for Mars.
If you want to get away from this world, that would be the place to do it.
Bring your own air and water.
