Prophet Thiel has an interesting post up today dissing Harold Camping and his failed prophecies. Prophet Thiel makes lots of comments about failed prophecies and failed prophets but for some reason conveniently ignores the hundreds of failed prophecies of Herbert Armstrong, Rod Meredith and the Churches of God.
According to him Camping (not a REAL Christian like LCG members are) is a fake Christian, a liar, and a false prophet.
The Prophet says:
Harold Camping’s pronouncements were sinful. And while he and his group want to claim that they did good by making false prophecies, the is not something that the God of the Bible would advocate.
OK, that is something that we can both agree on. However, The Prophet fails to say that Rod Meredith's pronouncements are also sinful. He fails to mention that Rod Meredith and his group claim they are doing good in spite of the failed prophecies of the past. They claim to be doing good in spite of Herbert Armstrongs sinful lies too. Neither of which Thiel's God of the Bible would approve of.
Prophet Thiel continues with this:
The same can be said about Rod Meredith, Herbert Armstrong, Gerald Waterhouse, Dean Blackwell, John Rittenbaugh and all the others that have spouted failed prophecies over the decades. They have all been proven liars. According to Thiel false prophets are not Christians, does that apply to failed prophet Rod Meredith too?I do not consider that Harold Camping was or is a real Christian and he has repeatedly proven to be a false prophet.
The fact is that there are many false prophets who claim to be Christian cause the Bible to be blasphemed. One who claims to be in the Church of God (Ronald Weinland) insists that the period of the Great Tribulation began years ago (as did Harold Camping), and that Jesus will return on May 27, 2012. Ron Weinland, of course, will be proven wrong.
A quick look at Armstrongism sees hundreds of false prophets all claiming to be Christians, yet because of their lies blaspheme the Bible. We do however agree that Weinerdude Weinland is a false prophet whom many attorneys in various COG's feel will be imprisoned because of his tax evasion.
The Prophet goes on to write my favorite comment:
People like Harold Camping and Ron Weinland give scoffers ammunition to argue against Bible prophecy–as will any who insist that the Mayan 12/21/2012 date can be the end of the world. All of them will be shown to be wrong.
People like Herbert Armstrong, Rod Meredith, Gerald Flurry, Ron Wienland, Dave Cox and Fred Coulter all give scoffers ammunition to argue against Bible prophecy. They have all been proven to be wrong as of this very hour.
Prophet Thiel would due well to heed the scriptures that he quotes to establish his stance on false prophets:
Notice a couple of warnings about false prophets:
22 when a prophet speaks in the name of the LORD, if the thing does not happen or come to pass, that is the thing which the LORD has not spoken; the prophet has spoken it presumptuously; you shall not be afraid of him. (Deuteronomy 18:22).
1 But there were also false prophets among the people, even as there will be false teachers among you, who will secretly bring in destructive heresies, even denying the Lord who bought them, and bring on themselves swift destruction. 2 And many will follow their destructive ways, because of whom the way of truth will be blasphemed. 3 By covetousness they will exploit you with deceptive words; for a long time their judgment has not been idle, and their destruction does not slumber. (2 Peter 2:1-3).
The Apostle responds
