What is the point of the millennium when you have this kind of teaching? Why would they be teaching the world about the Old Testament when the old ways are done away with and the world is restored to wholeness? Isn't the focus on Christ at this point?
Is the Old Testament Obsolete? Many professing Christians have been told that the Old Testament is only for the Jews and Christians now have the New Testament. However, Jesus taught that we should live “by every word of God” (Luke 4:4), and the Apostle Paul wrote, “AllScripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness” (2 Timothy 3:16). Paul even told New Testament Christians in Corinth that Old Testament examples “were written for our admonition, upon whom the ends of the ages have come” (1 Corinthians 10:1–11). In other words, the Old Testament is also for us today! We need to prepare ourselves so that we can explain these inspired Scriptures to the world in the coming Millennial reign of Christ.
Have a profitable Sabbath,

Is it just me, or is it that the longer these splinter groups exist, the crazier they get?
Yep, that's them, they haven't changed one bit.
Yep, "3rd yr" is 3rd tithe! "Times" means seasons! Seven, not three, feast offerings!
The old ‘many professing Christian’s’ gets me every time.
In other words it’s our way/word or the highway for the ‘others’ or those ‘professing’ lol.
Yeah we are the REAL CHRISTIANS and others simply think they are.
To be honest it makes me want to throw up and vomit.
Arrogant b*st*rds.
Doug is being disingenuous. He only teaches the parts of the Old Testament that he finds convenient. If he truly valued and taught the Old Testament, his Christianity would look a lot different from what LCG teaches and practices.
If Doug isn't professing Christianity, just what faith is he professing?
And there are things that professing christians understand that they don't. They actually reject some spiritual aspects in the New Testament. They secretly desire to practice Judaism with their version of Christ posted on the outside of the package.
A freshman at a bible college learns the basic rules for interpreting Scripture. One key feature is to look at the context. Who is being spoken to. The Law of Moses was given to only one group, the Israelites. The Chinese and Bolivians were not involved in this agreement. The rich man was told to sell all that he had and to give it to the poor. He wasn't giving a commandment for the world. The ignorance of these church leaders is appalling which makes their horrible arrogance even more embarrassing. These poorly trained leaders who believe themselves to be the best qualified to teach, make Christianity look very bad. I'm embarrassed to say that I was once a member of the WCG, sat through first year Bible taught by Roderick Meredith and thought I was getting a good education. Fortunately, I was in the church for only four years.
This blog and others do exactly the same thing. Think nothing of calling Sabbath keepers Satanic, even label individuals to be influenced after the very devil himself. Targets even criticised for quoting scripture as 'satan did it'. Same old, same old.
"Stand over there in the corner for WE are HOLIER than thou."
You only need replace the excuse for the nastiness. "They don't believe in the Sabbath", for "they dont believe in the trinity". And hey ho there you go, any excuse to spread hate for others.
