We knew it was coming.
Bob Thiel Asks...
"This coming Sunday is known as “Super Bowl Sunday” in the USA. Most years, the American football (which is not the same as the sport called soccer in the USA) contest known as the Superbowl is the most watched television program in the USA. Between 100,000,000-150,000,000 are expected to intentionally (as opposed to perhaps seeing a news item about it) watch at least some of it this year according to various reports.
Should Philadelphian Christians, those who are to have love for others, watch the Super Bowl?
Tackle football is dangerous and many people are still getting severely hurt:
...
Football causes great harm. No one has excuses anymore to pretend otherwise.
Since most people in the USA have, at one time or another, made some hint of professing following Jesus, a relevant question may be:
Would Jesus want you to watch the Super Bowl?
Jesus, of course, taught “You shall love your neighbor as yourself” (Matthew 22:39), while the Apostle Paul wrote “no one ever hated his own flesh, but nourishes and cherishes it” (Ephesians 5:29).
The Bible teaches:
15 Do not love the world or the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him. 16 For all that is in the world — the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life — is not of the Father but is of the world. 17 And the world is passing away, and the lust of it; but he who does the will of God abides forever. (1 John 2:15-17)
Tackle football is a lust of the flesh and eyes. Those who claim to be Christian and endorse it are letting the pride of life deceive them.
How many who are in the COGs love the worldly sport of American tackle football and really do not care that it causes irreparable harm to its participants? Is not another reason that some watch it because of their lust for violence and/or for social acceptance?
This is not what loving Christians should do."

Is it the Church's, or Bob Thiel's business to mind yours for you in the name of "What Would Jesus Do?"

Tackle football is way too dangerous. I don't believe it will be permitted on Christ's return. I recently watched a TV segment about an 18 year old who was made a paraplegic by a tackle. It showed his mother struggling to push her son around in his wheelchair. It was heartbreaking to watch.
The lifespan of professional footballers is in their early 50s. This says it all.
Lust of the flesh and eyes? What kind of asinine accusation is that? Only some self-appointed stinking turd pretending to be God’s final witness could make such an absurd comment.
If you shouldn't watch the Super Bowl because tackle football is so dangerous, then you shouldn't watch the evening news, either, as you are almost certain to see people getting hurt far more severely than people get hurt in a football game.
I would be much more interested to see Bob answer the question, "Should you take time away from your disabled child's care, or palm that care off on others, so you can have time to play at being a prophet?"
The most lustful, brutal, abusive, life-threatening, ... spectacle I ever saw was a basketball game at an FOT, ministers vs younger male members.
Ban everything!!!
You know how many people get killed or paralyzed in car accidents?
Motorcycles and bicycles are deadly too.
Plus ban corn chips - people choke to death on these.
Ban food - how many people get sick and even die from food poisoning or allergic reactions.
Ban!!!
Ban!!!
Bring it on Bob - ban them all!
And be sure to ban preachers - people have been known to lose money they could not afford to lose to them.
OK, Bob. I'll see your football violence and raise you a tithing doctrine.
Although I seldom watch sports, when I do it's to see sportsmanship, strategy, discipline, cooperation, etc, not what one may expect in gladiatorial combat.

A wrestling match between God and Bob thiel would last how long?
In our household the highlight of any evening was when the football came of the shelf. My daughters would immediately leave playing with their barbie dolls for a chance to rough up their dad.
The new generation has the same intrigue to the game of football. My oldest daughter came into town recently and the oldest granddaughter somehow found the football and came into the room and said BALLLLL. I looked at my daughter and said you know what this means, she rolled her eyes as the super bowl started.
I have played competitive football for a lot of years and it never entered my mind that football was the lust of the eyes and flesh. I am looking at my football right now and I can't figure out how to even lust after it.
If Mr. Thiel is indeed God's only true end time prophet and this is the type of worldwide warning that is taking place and is going to take place, then I don't want to play and I am going to take my football home with me right now!
I wonder if the Almighty does not want us to watch Booby Thiel, as that he is WAY TOO DANGEROUS, and he will cause BRAIN DAMAGE!
Is it the Church's, or Bob Thiel's business to mind yours for you in the name of "What Would Jesus Do?"
My Comment: Yes and No. The church as a whole should be focused on living the life revealed by Jesus the Christ through the Holy Spirit. A believer will not be spending time on the world's activities for education not entertainment. Spiritual growth comes through a positive focus on the things in life that promote a stronger relationship with God through His Son Jesus

People die every day, so why this nonsense of banning anything. This is the one thing that Banned posters have right.
So please excuse me while I go and watch the Christians being fed to the lions.
Bob Thiel needs to change the name of his blog to BANNED.
He should raise money by an effort called, BANNED-AID, in which sorry-ass performers sing to try to drown out the strange offstage noises which should be BANNED from his videos.
It's just something that's there, it has both positives and negatives, and you can take it or leave it as a matter of free choice. Bob Thiel makes way too much of it. It is certainly not the compelling social issue that he makes it into. Also, where is it written that every contemporary issue must be parsed and assigned to specific church eras? There really isn't any such thing as a church era in the first place. That was invented by the Adventists, and HWA/WCG bought into it.

hey false prophet Bob,
if you cannot quote it from scripture then KEEP YOUR F-ING MOUTH SHUT.
Next this guy will be talking about a spaceship behind some comet or will start handing out kool-aide.
Bob is following the church mold of feeding members spiritual milk and micromanaging members lives. But according to my bible, they should be feeding members spiritual meat, and letting members live their own lives. It's a moral inversion.
So Christians in Philadelphia aren't allowed to watch the Super Bowl? They better move to another state then!
Bob is so ignorant. Not only did Philadelphians watch the Super Bowl in 2018; Philadelphians even WON the game!

Dr. Thiel seems to suggest that soccer is a good alternative. Yet there have been studies showing young adults hurt their brains from headers.
Not to mention teams such as Arsenal in the Premier League promoting guns.

Thumbs up for your comment.
I have tickets for the "Sea Battle", Northern pirates VS Carthage in Nemausus, if you please.......

From a Painful Truth article:
Just what does Philadelphia mean? Is it brotherly love or something else?
The various Philadelphias in the ancient world were founded by and named for Ptolemy II, a Pharaoh of Macedonian heritage, who ruled Egypt in the early Third Century BC. His second name was Philadelphus because he married his sister Arsinoe II (she also had Philadelphus as her second name).
Phil means filial love (i.e., love between siblings).
Translated, this means that the armstrong churches of god are just like their founder. Incestuous!

I predict KC will win, but then I could be wrong - I am not a prophet.
Wonder if Bob Thiel will watch the Super Bowl "for the commercials".

As I'm sitting here watching one of the greatest openings ever to the Super Bowl, it occurred to me why Prophet Bobby hates football...he could never measure up to the manliness and athleticism of all of those heroes they had out on the field celebrating 100 years of smash-mouth bad-assness, because he is an effiminate PUSSY, with lousy shower curtains.
Wonder if Bob Thiel will watch the Super Bowl "for the commercials".
Maybe Bob should save his tithe dollars and cut back on sending stuff to church-hopping frauds in Africa, and use that money to buy a Super Bowl commercial in a year or two?
The half-time show was sexually degenerate, even for an atheist like me. I walked out at that point.
Humans and football fans belong in two different countries. Bob Thiel belongs on an atoll.

You don't believe people over 50 should be sexually active?
