Take a look at what one of Bob Thiel's so-called "evangelists" said recently:
Thereafter during the afternoon session I invited Evangelist Ochieng to give out his sermon, whereby he stressed that “those who follow the Ten Commandments and observe the ordained feast of the Lord will automatically receive Christ on his return”. He told them not behave like SDAS’ or the Sunday brethren’s who pretends to be following the bible truth but in the real sense they are not. He also strengthen them to refrain from lying and follow the truth. The brethren’s also requested him to visit them again for they were indeed very happy.Apparently, law-keepers are a special lot, highly chosen by Jesus who is going to save them first. Of course, those law-keepers need to be Armstrongites to garner Jesus' favor. Sabbath keepers like the Seventh Day Adventists will not be embraced by Christ. Though they will be a little bit more favored than the Sunday keepers and atheists.
Pure bunk.
Does this mean that Jesus will have to apologize to the Pharisees who he condemned because he wasn't accepted as the Messiah?
ReplyDeleteEvery church, including the "antinomian" ones, teach the keeping of some parts of the law. The problem has been which parts and how they are kept...
ReplyDeleteIf, as Evangelist Ochieng tells us, "those who follow the Ten Commandments and observe the ordained feast of the Lord will automatically receive Christ on his return," then why bother being a CCOG member? Just be a practicing Jew, and you'll do fine, without all the drama and silliness of the ACOGs.

MY COMMENT:
But the Pharisees kept the 10 Commandments and the ordained feasts too, AND they rejected Jesus Christ and will not be automatically received by him!
"Apparently, law-keepers are a special lot,"
ReplyDeleteAs opposed to law breakers? Probably so!
Bwana Bob says he rejected Rod Meredith and LCG because of their doctrinal errors, yet he supports Ochieng's rank heresy in his letter to CCOG members? Something here just doesn't make sense.
ReplyDeleteThe law can be summarized in two great principles.
ReplyDelete1. Don't piss God off.
2. Don't piss other people off.
by what authority do you speak, no2hwa??? are you not merely as self proclaimed as you accuse thiel to be??? are you not merely just another reactionary and finger pointer after your fathers behavior in the garden of eden??? who do you claim to be???

please stop censoring me...
Isn’t your fore father also in the Garden of Eden? lol
DeleteI mean I believe mine existed outside of a creation poem but that’s for a Neanderthal and a Denisovan to debate.
c f ben, by the authority that this blog belongs to him. If you don't like it leave!
ReplyDeleteno2hwa is by no means any more the arbiter of truth than any other pontificate on the web, cog or otherwise, and frankly is just as presumptuous, arrogant and wrongheaded...
Deleteas long as this blog allows it, i will point such things out...

I wonder if Bob Thiel allows emerging trends, like female headshaving, to exist in his church. Come to think of it, the ACOGs could encourage headshaving parties to raise extra money for charity (themselves). Probably more lucrative than Flurry's bake sales for jet fuel fiasco. Now's the time! They could be doing videos of it at their feast.

c f ben, that's your problem, he hasn't claimed to be the arbiter of truth, that was HWA in his Plain ""Truth"" mag who claimed to be such and his minions in the acogs who do the same. This blog is for opinions, and your ignorant opinion has been posted.
ReplyDeleteand my opinion is ignorant cuz u have proclaimed it so...
Deleteyet when i make proclamations they dont count cuz u say so: how are you all any different from they whom you accuse? you all think you are always right; they too think the same...you all think urselves better than they, and vice versa...
one distinction, though: you all are name callers, scoffers and personal insulters, hence you have disadvantaged urselves and it doesnt reflect well on your pov...

Ben seems to be against the anti-Armstrong movement, and therefore can't relate to us, become our friend, or contribute anything positive to our work here. I mean, every blog needs a contrarian, or salter, to be a pita, and to spawn comment traffic, but that's all he'll ever be. And, yes, it does make good sense to occasionally muzzle or censor such an individual.

BB aren’t you scared Ben will consign you to the lake of fire?
ReplyDeleteToo bad our resident scholar is on hiatus.
It would be fascinating to see all the various after life punishments the different world religions have waiting for us.
Just imagine if reincarnation was true and some of the COGers came back as dogs or cats. How disappointed they would be.
