Join the "World's Foremost Authority on Bible Prophecy" and the "Highly Regarded Biblical Scholar" On A Cyber Book Tour

Here is your chance to put the "the world's foremost authority on prophecy" and the COG's "most highly regarded biblical scholar" on the hot seat.  It seems that Prophet Thiel is on a cyber book tour on various internet sites.  Contact the sites and have them ask him some hard questions, or let them know how absurd his prophecies are.

Notice Prophet Thiel's book cover where he says he "discovered" all the truth behind these prophecies.  Kind of reminds me of HWA who claimed to have "discovered" the "truth" after it was lost by some weak god for 1,900 years.

Here is the schedule of sites he has posted for his "tour."

Reading the bio on the Prophet sounds like something that self aggrandizing Davie Pack would do.

Bob Thiel, Ph.D., is a highly regarded researcher, biblical scholar, and one of the world's foremost authorities on end time prophecies. He holds a Bachelor's degree from the University of LaVerne, a Master's degree from the University of Southern California, and a Ph.D. from the Union Institute and University. Throughout his academic and professional career, he has studied philosophy, religion, science, and prophecy, while making multiple research trips to ancient sites in Central America, Asia Minor, Rome, and Greece. Dr. Thiel has been a guest on countless radio programs nationwide, and is Examiner.com's Los Angeles religious history and prophecy correspondent. His articles on prophecy, religion and science have appeared in several dozen magazines, newspapers, trade publications, and scientific journals. His videocasts are seen weekly on YouTube and to the hundreds of thousands of visitors to his site, COGwriter.

"Highly regarded?"  By whom?  Church of God members?  Living Church of God? Masters and Ph.D?  In religion?  Prophet Thiel sounds like he was educated in Packatolla University for Narcissism.

Christian ministries around the world have never heard of the guy.  Even Living Church of God members don't like him and see his silly writings as irrelevant fluff.

PCG: Thinking About "The Work" Will Cure Your Discouragement

Steven Flurry has an article up in the Philadelphia Trumpet titled, You Can Conquer Discouragement!  So what could be the cause of all that discouragement and disappointment?  Could the headline of the next article be a cause of discouragement?  Can they really be this stupid?

• Commentary:  You Can Conquer Discouragement!
  God gives us the means.
• Commentary: DoYou Realize How Soon the World Could End?
  Events are moving far faster than most people grasp.
   
  So what is Little Stevie trying to get across?  It all revolves around money.  When you are depressed think about the "work."  That will solve all your problems!  Send your money in, it will make you happy to know you support the work.

  
  

  When you face discouragement, don’t let your mind dwell on the Jezebel obstacle in front of you. Get your mind on God and His work.

  The key to overcoming discouragement is to get our minds off ourselves and onto the power and might of God. Turn to God in humility, with prayer and fasting. Then get back to work. Concentrate on serving God and doing God’s work

  The cause of all that discouragement is this:
  
  

  Perhaps you’ve mulled some of those prophecies for years. Do you realize just how soon they could be full-blown reality?

  Are you ready? “[T]ake heed to yourselves, lest at any time your hearts be overcharged with surfeiting, and drunkenness, and cares of this life, and so that day come upon you unawares,” Christ warned. “For as a snare shall it come on all them that dwell on the face of the whole earth” (Luke 21:34-35). Woe to those caught in that snare! And though Christ said it would entrap the vast majority, He gave this warning so you could be among the few who escape it (verse 36).
