What more can be said than to let a lying false prophet of Armstrongism make a fool of himself with his own words:
As far as what can accurately be predicted, we in the Continuing Church of God “have also a more sure word of prophecy; whereunto ye do well that ye take heed, as unto a light that shineth in a dark place, until the day dawn, and the day star arise in your hearts” (2 Peter 1:19, KJV).” The Bible is accurate and its predictions can be counted on. Some of those biblical predictions are mentioned in this post.
So there you have it. All other COG's are mindless morons when it comes to prophecy. Almost Arrested Elisha Elijah Amos Thiel has the only correct interpretation. Bow down at his magnificance.
Though I have the gift of prophecy( Thiel you do not have it ) but do not have love,I am as nothing.If the COG truely understood this then the abuse,darkness and share loonacy and downright evil fruit displayed in these groups would give them the credibility they crave.Thiel and co can claim they have the inside running of prophecy ( they don't ) but the fruits of their "works" say otherwise.Sickness comes in many forms.I do not doubt it can parade itself even as light.
ReplyDeleteWatching his "sermons" one would certainly draw the conclusion he was not apt to teach and his resentfulness towards those who failed to listen to him is well known.
ReplyDelete2 Timothy 2: "New International Version
And the Lord's servant must not be quarrelsome but must be kind to everyone, able to teach, not resentful."
His sermon presentations are truly terrible and very hard to want to listen to.

...to which I will add... Why don't faith healers work at hospitals and Prophets win the lottery? It's all smoke and mirrors. Bob is no more a prophet than I am and keeping up with trends as ten thousand other professionals with far more background than Bob has is NOT being a prophet. He's a religious commentator as are many many others pretending to know more than anyone else can also conclude with a bit of reading. It is being a trends watcher and then fitting one's trends watching into a template of wrongly understood and applied books and letters written to others who have long since experienced their ultimate histories and died.
ReplyDeleteBob is to Barney Fife as Dave Pack is to Ernest T Bass. Entertaining but difficult to take seriously and somewhat dangerous with his one bullet and Ernest T with his bag full of rocks.
Like Dave Pack's confident understanding of Evolution which he actually does not have or grasp, Bob is confident in his understanding. But like Pack and Flurry cannot and never will "stand under" anyone who can teach them what they actually do not know. Bob may as well take up soothsaying, entrail reading , bone tossing and lot drawings to add to his prophetic skills which are precisely none.
What a waste of their lives these men inflict on themselves.

ReplyDeleteBlind professing prophet Bob Thiel is so caught up in self, me, me, I, me, I, me, me, me, that he still does not comprehend how blind he was to have gotten snookered by his former mentor Rod Meredith while associating in darkness with the "living" group. Wouldn't a prophet have seen through "living/Meredith" and the darkness they were all in and have avoided it? Well, Rod/living was growing in knowledge with understanding all about Galatians 2:20 just caught Bob Thiel unawares, I guess.
Bob Thiel still has not proven by any of his writings that he has removed himself from darkness. Of course, the same could be said for Doug Winnail and all of the "living" leaders, not to mention Jim Franks of cogwAss. and/or Victor Kubik of United Ass...just associations, man-made associations. And "continuing?" What is that? What does that mean? Why continue something when perhaps God's Church is already in existence? Surely, Bob Thiel does not think the gates of hell prevailed against God's Church, and so Bob came to the rescue to magically "continue" it?
Bob Thiel is, in some ways, just Job was regarding darkness and light. Bob Thiel, once upon a time, thought he was seeking some light in Rod Meredith, seeking some light in the "living" group of human beings professing to be God's Church. Rod Meredith didn't even have ministerial credentials, because they disappeared in Pasadena when Rod fled the scene there and no longer served those sheep left with the WCG. He abandoned those sheep to go do his own thing...and do it better than HWA. Hence, Global came on the scene? Global? Some say: "Go Baal." Where is it today? In the same place as Rod's credentials.
So, Bob Thiel, prophet you tell us you are, why didn't you "foresee" any of that? Again, continuing what? Do you really think you are continuing the "real" living church of god? How continue God's Church? You tell us you believe in a Mickey Mouse Millennium, where Christ comes to reign on earth for 1,000 years (yes, Doug still preaches that), but didn't Jesus Christ say He would meet those resurrected in the clouds and then take them to someplace where He is preparing something...and He wasn't on earth? And if Jesus were really reigning on earth, then why at the end of that 1,000 year MMM was Satan allowed out of the pit and deceives the entire earth again and war was learned again?........ and apparently Jesus did absolutely nothing to prevent that? How could all the world again be so deceived? It seems that perhaps you and your "continuing whatever" did nothing to stem the deception. All four quarters of earth will be deceived!
Oh, back to Job:
"When I looked for good, then evil came unto me: and when I waited for light, there came darkness." Job 30:26
Bob Thiel, what is your guarantee to us that you are still NOT in darkness. You thought the good, the light, was with Rod Meredith and Global...and Living, didn't you? What happened?
And now, you want us to believe everything that comes out of your mind today? It appears you still have not come out of the darkness.
Your man-made continuing whatever, prophet credentials, and blindness will eventually be exposed for all to see. How do we know? The Head of God's Church tells us so:
"But he answered and said, Every plant, which my heavenly Father hath not planted, shall be rooted up." Matthew 15:13
Prove to us that God did not plant Global, did not plant Living, but has planted something you created that has the adjective "continuing" in it!

When Tkach was made leader, half the church 'fell away.' At the end of Christ's 1000 year rule, there will be a repetition via Satan's release. Not hard to understand.
DeleteP.S.
ReplyDeleteOh, Bob Thiel, let Job teach you that one must be careful of the "light," because sometimes the "light" is in reality darkness:
Job 18:6 "The light shall be dark in his tabernacle, and his candle shall be put out with him."
Satan is considered to be a bringer of light, some angel of light, but God already knows that Satan's light is darkness. You claim to be a prophet. Did you foresee and know that Satan's light is darkness?
Some day you (and Doug Winnail, and Jim Franks, Dan Rogers, and Victor Kubik, and other xcog leaders, etc.) will really come out of the darkness/blindness you/they are in, but cannot yet perceive........and time will tell.
Enuf said for now...lights out!

BRILLIANT!
No truer maxim has been expressed since Einstein stated E=Mc2 . In fact, I think this statement actually solves
the greater unified field theory!
Bob keeps tooting his own horn...I've never known of a true prophet that did that.
ReplyDeleteHe probably means well, he's just a bit misled.
Actually, it's probably "Bob Thiel is to prophecy what Barney Fife is to police work". Andy Taylor pretty much carried Barney, much as Rod Meredith carried Bob. Such things happen. It would be difficult to imagine either Barney or Bob "continuing" into anything. Both seemed to be where they were for comic relief.

"Bob keeps tooting his own horn..."
ReplyDeleteSo does Meredith. So does Dave Pack. So does Gerald Flurry. So did HWA.
"...I've never known of a true prophet that did that."
How many true prophets have you known of? Has there ever been one?
Fans of Ernest T. Bass will be thrilled to learn that Ernest T. is running for president. T-shirts are available for purchase.
ReplyDeleteAfter Opey started listening to The World Tomorrow program, Aunt Bee did, too.
ReplyDeleteAfter noticing that Aunt Bee was sending money to a crazy cult, Clara told Andy, who then kicked remediation into high gear.
Andy got Floyd to give Aunt Bee a crewcut, and put a hippie wig on Opey.
So when Meredith came to Mayberry, hilarity ensued!
Ernest T. Bass jumped on Meredith's back, yelling, "I'm prophecying yer daughter Yah-lo gotta marry me cuz I likes big butts!"
The Darlings played bluegrass at the weddin'.
Thelma Lou yells, YEE HAH! Where's GTA?
Barney tells Thelma Lou, "You know you're the only girl for me, except maybe for Waneeta at the diner who is still reading HWA's booklets and eliminating pork chops from their menu. I might have to tell those fun girls from Raleigh about the Truth, too!"
Andy: "You're all going plum crazy!"
Floyd: "But Andy, Mister Meredith's hair is SO SOFT and it puts me into a trance when I run my fingers through it and he tells me I can be one of the 144 thousand!"
Otis waddles in and says, "I can be a 144-proof deacon!"
