End time prophecy was indeed his marketing hook, the major scare that caused such explosive growth to the Radio Church of God during the 1950s and 1960s. And, yes, in their backpedaling, they cannot erase the three equations by which they proved their dates. Or signing off on their "interpretations of the news" in Jesus' name.<br /><br />We grew up attending a Protestant church, and I know for a fact that in those days, most churchgoers were not at all well-grounded in the Bible. That didn't happen until the Jesus movement in the 1970s when such organizations as Calvary began teaching people to be able to substantiate their faith through scripture. So, it became very easy for someone like a Herbert W. Armstrong to systematically quote scripture, and to have scripturally ignorant Christians fall right into his clutches. It was all over from that point on, because he would take over their very lives! He taught against a second opinion, so people got trapped.<br /><br />Now, certain ACOG successors are amplifying it all, adding more unbearable weight to already horrible unChristian doctrines. What is really needed today is "frog" evangelism, because the members of certain groups are most definitely cooking themselves, and missing out on some pretty awesome blessings that God could give them if only they were open to better understanding.<br /><br />BBByker Bobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15602697337552385535noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-226103369043606765.post-35592545567914457072013-06-17T16:16:59.900-07:002013-06-17T16:16:59.900-07:00"Spiritual discernment?"

That's what a false prophet is; a person who makes false predictions and speaks presumptuously (so says Deuteronomy, not Corky).
