He is having fits over all kinds of things, including vegetarianism. He ignores the fact that Adam and Eve in the creation myths were vegetarians, but that is another story.
Christ was a son of God, one of the multiple sons of the Host, before his incarnation. He laid all that aside and became an human being. We cannot say Christ retained any part of himself in the Godhead or outside of himself. Paul quite clearly says here that Christ was designated son of God in power according to the Holy Spirit, by his resurrection from the dead. He laid aside his sonship to become a human in order that he might become the first son of God of the human species. That’s what the intent was. Nothing of Jesus Christ remained outside of his human existence. That is the doctrine of Antichrist. The doctrine of Antichrist teaches that Christ has some part of himself separate to his entity as a human being and somehow he retained some part of his divinity external to his physical existence. He did not.
5 through whom we have received grace and apostleship to bring about the obedience of faith for the sake of his name among all the nations,
The faith was then extended into the nations. It was the structure of the obedience of faith. Our faith is obedience to God and the acknowledgment that only God is True God. Our requirement for the inheriting of eternal life from John 17:3 is the knowledge of the One True God and of his son Jesus Christ. Jesus Christ is not the One True God. The Bible is emphatic on that. It is quite clear that the obedience of the faith to the One True God, that is God the Father, God Most High, is the requirement for the receipt of the sonship on the redemption of our bodies, from Romans 8:29ff. That includes all who are called to belong to Jesus Christ from verse 6.
6 including yourselves who are called to belong to Jesus Christ; 7 To all God's beloved in Rome, who are called to be saints: grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
Thus we establish the Godhead in the first seven verses and the understanding of the faith of the One True God, and that Christ laid aside his sonship and became a human and received his sonship again from the redemption of his body at his resurrection. There is no existence of Jesus Christ outside of his humanity until his resurrection. To assert that as a fact denies the sacrifice of Jesus Christ and denies the totality of his resurrection, and is a doctrine of demons. The trinity is itself a doctrine of demons and from it two other doctrines flow.
This is the kind of idiocy that comes from crazy COG ministers and so-called Coordinator General's. But, what should you expect from apostate COG groups that deny everything about the historical and scriptural Jesus and the works he accomplished. It is no wonder that the so-called "christian" Churches of God are such a small group. Much like Bob Thiel's personality cult, Cox's cult claims half of the African continent as his members, and just a few white people are even interested in him other than some Missourians and a few others.
It is also too good to pass up when it comes to the official flag of Wade Cox's cult:
The CCG Flag is a white background with the Church logo centrally placed on the flag maintaining the church colours of White and Blue (heraldically argent and azure). We are required by Scripture to wear Ribbons of Blue on the corners of our garments to remind us of the Commandments of Almighty God (Num. 15:38). Therefore in accordance with the law we place two ribbons of blue on the top and bottom of the flag to remind us of the Laws of God, as embodied in the First and Second Great Commandments, and the Testimony or Faith of Jesus Christ and thus encompassing all the Scripture of both testaments.The flag has nothing to do with the flag of modern day Israel. The colours are similar because the colours represent the similar biblical concepts. It was not the basis for the CCG flag and differs in all other aspects including the symbols or devices and the placement of its bars.

"In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. (John 1:1)"
I am not familiar with the one-godder theology. This sounds much like Unitarianism. Apparently they have never read the first verse of the Gospel of John. I suppose one could look at this verse and the rest of John 1:1 and claim that it does not make an explicit syntactical statement that Jesus equates to the Logos. But that becomes sophomoric. Like saying Bing Crosby never really said he was Bing Crosby so he was probably not Bing Crosby.

I would say the demoniac is Wade Cox. He preaches doctrines of demons. After reading a few of his writings it is easy to understand the man is crazier than hell and is certainly NOT a leader of any true church.
Cox and Theil should join forces and then they could claim every singly human being on the continent of Africa as members. Such idiots. Such liars. Such demoniacs.
Is this group the first COG to have an "official flag"?
Most simply are happy to put a seal or logo on a lectern at Sabbath services. One UCG congregation in Cincinnati has had trouble even doing that.
My flag response to Cox...
"DONT TREAD ON ME!"
I’ve been involved with the WCG etc since I was a child back in 1968. It changed my entire life to this day. I have no idea who or what Wade Cox is. He seems stuck in the same paradigm as other so-called Christian groups who cling to terms like god, church, Christian, and Christ. No one knows who or what god is or where the word came from...much like church. Actually the word church comes from. The German word Kirke which means circle. God is ambiguous and has no meaning, like the word widget. The term circle is representative of the remake womb or vagina....so when Cox says church of god what he is in essence saying is the vagina of widgets....wonder if Bob Theil would agree..??
