Exposing the underbelly of Armstrongism in all of its wacky glory! Nothing you read here is made up. What you read here is the up to date face of Herbert W Armstrong's legacy. It's the gritty and dirty behind the scenes look at Armstrongism as you have never seen it before!
With all the new crazy self-appointed Chief Overseers, Apostles, Prophets, Pharisees, legalists, and outright liars leading various Churches of God today, it is important to hold these agents of deception accountable.

Kangaroos
Things Bob Thiel never thinks about
Hey Mr. Bob, what cha doin'? Have you had any of these sweet dreams lately?
Oh don’t be daff. The kanga’s got on a Qantas flight directly to Oz. Bloody Aussies and kanga’s are everywhere in the mideast. I bumped into one in the Sinai at a place called Na ama beach close by Sham El Shiek. All he could say was ‘gidday’. When they all learn to read and write, Bobby boy may get a following established in the ‘lucky land’. I have me doubts through. Rough buggers Aussies. They’re liable to sent him packing to Petra lol.
Beto had better watch any disparaging comments or opinions he may have on contact sports such as football or boxing. The 'roos may let him slide on the NFL, but they are very much known to be avid boxers.
"Yeah. Before the fountains of the great deep broke up the land was connected. The 'roos hopped over to the ark. Took several days."
Yep! But when they are confronted with this scenario they cannot answer how the land bridges were destroyed in the great flood and the 'roos hopped all the way back to Australia with the Koala, Sugar glider, and the Wombat riding on the 'roo's back with the Platypus in its pouch as the Tasmanian devil and the Dingo led the way. They walked all the way to Mesopotamia and then had to turn around and walk all the way back. The life span of each of these animals says this is an impossibility. But, certain Armstrongites have an answer to this. Animals lived long lives like Methuselah did. Others believe that all of these animals hopped on floating logs and floated all the way to Australia simultaneously.
NO2HWA God obviously used His angels to distribute worldwide the ark animals. Which is why there are no big cats in Australia. Otherwise they would kill all the kangeroos and koala bears.
Meh. Marine animal bones on mountains around the world. We can talk about the where and when of ocean upthrusts and such, but I don't see an entire dinosaur fossil on a mountain staying together during an upthrust or hundreds of million years. Just don't. I'll stick to the global flood account indicated in Genesis. Obviously, I don't see it outside the realm of possibility for God Who made the universe. Maybe the Lord will one day reveal it was localized or allegory. Explaining the kangaroo according to macro-evolution requires a lot of maybes and a fanciful imagination. Believe what you want; most normally do.

4.11 Mockery is the comeback of those who don't have reason on their side. Again, why are there no predatory animals like wolves and bears in Australia and New Zealand?
"The 'roos"! (Chuckle!) What an awesome blessing to my heart to know that I''m not the only woke dude participating in Banned! I mean, it just flowed so naturally and all.
There are no predatory animals in Australia like wolves and bears because the Tasmanian Devil ate them all as they were all walking back from Mesopotamia. Seriously, dude, everyone knows that!
The major predator that kept all of the other species in balance was the thylacine. It was hunted into extinction. Last one died in a zoo, I think sometime in the 1930s. There is a project ongoing right now to use dna technology to revive it.
The actual account of the flood shows that the animals came to the ark, not that Noah gathered them. (Genesis 6v 20). If God arranged for them to arrive, it would follow that He would arrange for them to be returned from where they came from. It's that easy really, if you are going to allow for the presence of a Creator God.
Look at the continents. It's obvious at one time they were connected, because if you shove them together, they look like a jigsaw puzzle. As to why and when they became separated, it probably happened sometime after the flood. I believe it happened in the lifetime of Peleg, the son of Eber, for in his days, the world was divided.Gen. 10:25. And strangely enough, according to Strong's Concordance, the name literally means earthquake! See 6389 in Strong's. Whether the quake caused the land masses to go to their current position right away or it just started a gradual drift, I don't know. But it must have been severe enough to cause the isolation of animal species so certain types of animals, like the kangaroo, could only be found on certain continents or islands.
Evolution is an unproved theory.Al the animals we have today were created in their current form. Any changes in those animals were due to mutations. And mutations btw causes them to lose genetic information, not gain it. So this idea that animal like a reptile van mutate into a bird is utter nonsense.
Evolution is only a problem if you use it in an attempt fo invalidate or kill off God. For years, I have recognized it as one of the processes which God uses to create all that we see around us. Evolution may appear to be statistically impossible, but in the hands of God, as he enhances and guides probability, it becomes a very viable and orderly tool, and makes much more sense than yelling Poof, or Fantasma, and having something suddenly appear. Creation week also makes much better sense when evolution and relativity are introduced into the process.
The creation week, as traditionally taught, makes perfect sense. God calls things into being,, and they immediately come into being. Evolution was an atheistic idea from the very start, and hard core evolutionists regard people who believe in theistic evolution as fence straddlers.
I fancy myself as a deeper thinker than all of that, but there might be a bit of ego involved. If you look at the order in which creation occurs, things that are required by some of the earlier creations don't come into play until later in the game, and the time keepers by which 24 hour days are even possible aren't present until the second half of the week. The narrative reads like the anthropomorphic yearnings of some ancient goat herder. There are additional problems. Man-like creatures pre-existed Adam, who was the first God-conscious man, and many things on planet Earth are measurably older than 6,000 years. In the universe, we have stars that are millions of light years away. We are just now seeing their light from before creation. There is also known communication amongst living things throughout the planet. Events happen simultaneously in hundreds or thousands of symbiotic relationships amongst plants and animals and weather patterns, which suggests that God used Himself as the raw materials for His creation. It really is quite wonderous and makes God far more fascinating and powerful than we could have possibly imagined as followers of Armstrongism.

Good arguments , especially from Hugh Ross, can be made for a regional flood, perhaps the entire Black Sea region, from a collapse of a land bridge.

ReplyDeleteROTFLMAO! This is hilarious!

ReplyDeleteNah. It's basic Darwin! Different animals evolved in different settings.
