Prophet Thiel has a post up tonight from Rod Meredith about soon coming religious persecution of LCG ministers and members. His lead in to his article is about the persecution of Christians around the world. As if Meredithism even compares to what these people are suffering!
According to Meredith:
"...today, we increasingly read and hear about professing Christians being sorely persecuted all over the world. In a news bulletin I heard just this morning on the radio, a famous preacher was describing how ferocious the persecution of professing Christians is becoming in many African and Middle Eastern nations."
I am confused here. Rod Meredith calls them Christians, yet Prophet Thiel calls them fake or "so-called" Christians. Since Prophet Thiel is now an official mouthpiece of the Living Church of God, why is his opinion of "so-called" Christians different than Rod's?
Then Meredith's letter descends into his favorite topic. He cannot carry on any conversation, do a telecast, write an article or booklet without bringing up SEX!
"As we see our beloved nations descending into the cesspool of deeper and deeper immorality—men “marrying” men, literally millions of young people simply “living together” without benefit of marriage or involvement from Almighty God in their lives, increasing vilification of all professing Christians and those who try to stand up for the Truth..."
Then it is quickly off to the Old Testament to find his angry god that is going to come and spank the United States:
"...it should become increasingly evident that the time is near when God will say “enough” and will send Jesus Christ back to this earth as King of kings. For Jesus is the prophesied “Rock” who will, in love and understanding have to crush the rebellious nations of t his earth and all rebellious institutions in order to bring about an entire different way of life based on His spiritual Law (Daniel 2:44-45)…"
Let all of us pray fervently for one another. And may God give all of us the understanding and knowledge that we need to go through these coming years of trial, test, persecution and ultimate joy and exhilaration in His coming Kingdom.
It's pretty sad that LCG won't pray for these people, yet these very same fake Christians offered prayers up, gave flowers and other support to the LCG members families of those killed in the LCG murders a few years ago. But I guess those were fake prayers and fake grief offered up by fake Christians. We won't even get into the appalling comments made by Thiel over the crosses these Christians put up!
Why do the "fake" Christians get it, while the supposed "true" Christians don't? Who are the TRUE martyrs here?
