Noticed today that the Banned by HWA website posted a bunch of accusations yesterday from an anonymous source taking shots at my integrity, and one of our leaders, related to Malawi. Sources that may be libelous sometimes choose to hide by being anonymous. Let me also add that "source" had not contacted me with proof of the assertions and tales in that post.
Well, Bobby dear, I actually have the name of the person who sent it and the church affiliation. "They" just asked to remain anonymous at this time. It was not a name or church I had heard of before.
Bwana Bob then goes on to quote scripture, as if he is qualified to do so:
The Book of Proverbs teaches:
4 Do not answer a fool according to his folly,Lest you also be like him.5 Answer a fool according to his folly,Lest he be wise in his own eyes. (Proverbs 26:4-5)16 The sluggard is wiser in his own conceit than seven men that can render a reason. (Proverbs 26:16, KJV)
Those words pretty much describe you, don't they? Yet, unable to heed the scriptures you quoted you just HAD to go and open your mouth. Well done!
Because of Proverbs 26:4, I do not respond to most of the lies and false accusations at the Banned By HWA site, but because of Proverbs 26:5, I sometimes will.
He continues:
In this case, the claim at Banned is basically that I have intentionally overstated the number of CCOG supporters in Malawi. The anonymous source claims 500 is all we have there in the CCOG. That is strange because after being negative towards CCOG pastor Radson Mulozowa, the same source states:
The only really good reports I heard about in Malawi concerning the CCOG is a man by, I think, the name of Sosten whom the people say mainly good things about him and that he cares for them,
Now, Sosten Libungwa has asserted he has multiple thousands with him that are in the CCOG. However, since we have not been able to vet more than several hundred of them, we have not included the rest in any numbers we have put forth as our actual congregants in Malawi. I have not tried to overstate our congregants, otherwise I would have added the multiple thousands that Sosten mentioned to me last year.
That said, the other claim at Banned is that I have not done investigations and hence have been conned. While I can be misled (like when I believed a promise from Terry Nelson which he later admitted that he broke), the fact is that I have done several investigations in different ways in Malawi and other parts of Africa, and have others ongoing.
The Great Bwana has to take another swipe at Terry:
Perhaps I should add that there is a comment after that Banned post by Terry Nelson of Hope of Israel where he accuses Radson Mulozowa remarrying. Yet, Radson Mulozowa has not remarried. Sadly, some choose to believe such tales over the truth.
Jesus said:
11 "Blessed are you when they revile and persecute you, and say all kinds of evil against you falsely for My sake. 12 Rejoice and be exceedingly glad, for great is your reward in heaven, for so they persecuted the prophets who were before you. (Matthew 5:11-12)
43 "You have heard that it was said, 'You shall love your neighbor and hate your enemy.' 44 But I say to you, love your enemies, bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who spitefully use you and persecute you, (Matthew 5:43-44)
Those who post falsehoods against me and the Continuing Church of God remain in my prayers. The Bible warns about talebearers (e.g. Leviticus 19:16) and those who push love lies (Revelation 22:15).
Better yet, Bob, the scriptures have these things to say about you:
Deuteronomy 18:20
20 But a prophet who presumes to speak in my name anything I have not commanded, or a prophet who speaks in the name of other gods, is to be put to death.”
Ezekiel13:9
My hand will be against the prophets who see false visions and utter lying divinations. They will not belong to the council of my people or be listed in the records of Israel, nor will they enter the land of Israel. Then you will know that I am the Sovereign LORD.
Jeremiah 14:14
Then the LORD said to me, “The prophets are prophesying lies in my name. I have not sent them or appointed them or spoken to them. They are prophesying to you false visions, divinations, idolatries and the delusions of their own minds.
Matthew 7:15
"Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep's clothing but inwardly are ravenous wolves". This verse is part of the Sermon on the Mount and warns against false prophets and teachers.
Jeremiah 23:16-40
"Do not listen to the words of the [false] prophets who prophesy to you. They teach you vanity (emptiness, falsity, and futility) and fill you with vain hopes".
1 John 4:1
"Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God, for many false prophets have gone out into the world".
2 Peter 2:1
"False prophets also arose among the people, just as there will be false teachers among you, who will secretly bring in destructive heresies".
Luke 6:26
Woe to you when everyone speaks well of you, for that is how their ancestors treated the false prophets.
Matthew 24:24
For false messiahs and false prophets will appear and perform great signs and wonders to deceive, if possible, even the elect
Matthew 16:11-12
How is it you don’t understand that I was not talking to you about bread? But be on your guard against the yeast of the Pharisees and Sadducees.” 12 Then they understood that he was not telling them to guard against the yeast used in bread, but against the teaching of the Pharisees and Sadducees.
2timothy 4:3-4
For the time will come when people will not put up with sound doctrine. Instead, to suit their own desires, they will gather around them a great number of teachers to say what their itching ears want to hear. 4 They will turn their ears away from the truth and turn aside to myths.
Acts 20:28-30
Keep watch over yourselves and all the flock of which the Holy Spirit has made you overseers. Be shepherds of the church of God, which he bought with his own blood. 29 I know that after I leave, savage wolves will come in among you and will not spare the flock. 30 Even from your own number men will arise and distort the truth in order to draw away disciples after them.
2 Peter 3:14-18
So then, dear friends, since you are looking forward to this, make every effort to be found spotless, blameless and at peace with him. 15 Bear in mind that our Lord’s patience means salvation, just as our dear brother Paul also wrote you with the wisdom that God gave him. 16 He writes the same way in all his letters, speaking in them of these matters. His letters contain some things that are hard to understand, which ignorant and unstable people distort, as they do the other Scriptures, to their own destruction. 17 Therefore, dear friends, since you have been forewarned, be on your guard so that you may not be carried away by the error of the lawless and fall from your secure position. 18 But grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. To him be glory both now and forever! Amen.
1 John 4:1-6
Dear friends, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God, because many false prophets have gone out into the world. 2 This is how you can recognize the Spirit of God: Every spirit that acknowledges that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is from God, 3 but every spirit that does not acknowledge Jesus is not from God. This is the spirit of the antichrist, which you have heard is coming and even now is already in the world.
Matthew 7:15-20
Watch out for false prophets. They come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ferocious wolves. 16 By their fruit you will recognize them. Do people pick grapes from thornbushes, or figs from thistles? 17 Likewise, every good tree bears good fruit, but a bad tree bears bad fruit. 18 A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, and a bad tree cannot bear good fruit. 19 Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. 20 Thus, by their fruit you will recognize them.
Titus 1:6-16
Therefore rebuke them sharply, so that they will be sound in the faith...
16 They claim to know God, but by their actions they deny him. They are detestable, disobedient and unfit for doing anything good.

Bob is such a hypocritical fool! This is a prime example of why none of us in LCG followed him.
It's obvious by his fruits or lack thereof that God hasn't called Bob to start a church. Luke 13:6 and Matthew 7:19 teaches to chop down unproductive trees.
Bob needs to move on and use his resources elsewhere. There's many activities that can enrich a person's life. He can take up a sport, learn to cook, ride a horse, take up sailing, etc.
.
If we changed our ploy and ignored Bob, he still wouldn't go away. So, (Meow!), may as well continue toying with the silly little mouse!
Oh, I would have to imagine he is exceedingly glad about this past week's current events. Prolly really looking forward towards the Feast of Trumpettes! Where in tarnation is that danged evil King of the North, anyway???
