First he pretends to extend an ecumenical hand to the 'true believers' in UCG:
Number one, and this really is not an option but more of a spiritual imperative, is that those in UCG should pray, study, and perhaps fast about the situation there.
If after doing so, UCG members really believe that the Jesus Christ is pleased with UCG and would not condemn it as part of Laodicea, then they should support it and remain there.
Then he quickly slaps these ex-members up side the head labeling them as Laodician:
“I know your works, that you are neither cold nor hot. I could wish you were cold or hot. 16 So then, because you are lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will vomit you out of My mouth. 17 Because you say, ‘I am rich, have become wealthy, and have need of nothing’ — and do not know that you are wretched, miserable, poor, blind, and naked —....
He then quotes a UCG write John Carmack, using his words as an excuse to call UCG Laodician:
Notice that Laodicea was condemned for being “lukewarm”.
It may be of interest to note that UCG member John Carmack wrote the following about UCG this week:
Most of the ways that UCG differs from other groups is that it is less strict. In all honesty, UCG is less concerned about the physical…UCG is obviously different in how it governs itself. Most COG groups have a “one-man” rule…However, what’s more disconcerting is that it seems that some within UCG don’t want to follow the pattern originally set down for governance…
One area of concern, though, is that “born again” is more open to interpretation. In spite of the view that the doctrine is clarified by the study paper on it, it actually looks more like mud.
Then Chiropractor Bob lays it on the line:
UCG fits the definition of being lukewarm, and yes has problems with “born-again”, governance, and other doctrines.
So Bob's rantings all boil down to one simple thing. He wants UCG members to jump ship and join LCG.
Now I would like to comment that I do not believe that despite its not being perfect from a human perspective, one could do better than to support LCG at this time. Despite the fact that not all who attend with it are Philadelphian, LCG is the only organization that seems to meet the criteria that Jesus set for the Philadelphia portion of His Church.
Forgetting the fact that Spanky Meredith has more failed prophecies than even Gerald Waterhouse! Scripture states specifically that if a minister/prophet makes even one utterance and it fails then they are false prophets. Spanky has utter hundreds of failed prophecies and predictions. So far his track record is an abysmal ZERO!
Then Thiel gets to the meat of the matter! LCG is the TRUE PHILADELPHIAN CHURCH!!!!!!!!! Oh wait, no shocker there! God and Jesus dwell specifically in Rod Meredith. Meredith has admitted he has never committed a major sin. If Spanky could get away with it he would also be claiming he is the product Immaculate Conception. There has never been a more perfect man on earth!
Only the Living Church of God meets the two criteria that Jesus set for the Philadelphia portion of His Church.
If you are in UCG, confused about UCG, or have nothing to do with UCG but wish to support the most faithful church on earth today, please pray, study, fast, and compare what LCG is doing with your own Bible.
Yep, jump ship and join the church that is lead by WCG's most rebellious minister whom was constantly being corrected by HWA for his hard-assed, legalistic, vengeful mindset.
Yes, follow the man that HWA labelled as UNFIT to run the church after his death.
Follow the man who was put on leave by HWA twice for his rotten attitude.
Yes, follow the man who literally broke up hundreds of marriages with his uber-strict rules about second marriages and divorce.
Follow the man who preached/still preaches hate towards gays.
Follow the man who caused the death of hundreds of church members because he told them to NOT go to doctors.
Yep, follow them man who's spitting and snarling in the pulpit left people with no hope, leading them to kill themselves by suicide.
More importantly, follow the man who drove Terry Ratzman over the edge causing him to murder an LCG minister and church members!
Yep, that is one spirit lead, love filled, Philadelphian church.
