Van Robison: The Capacity to Understand

The Capacity to Understand

One of the frustrating realities about human life is that we are all mortal.  Life is short no matter how long we live.  We also are not God and therefore are incapable of comprehending eternity.  Who can fathom the
immenseness of the Sun or its incomprehensible blazing heat?  Who can fathom the immensity of the universe?  No doubt the most sophisticated telescopes on earth can never reach into the never ending vastness of outer-space.  Where is the end of space, stars, planets, galaxies and matter in space?  I would suspect that it will forever be impossible for human beings to find out.  Even if human beings should accomplish travel to "local" planets, that would be "nothing" in comparison to a never ending universe.

Does anyone really understand where human life is leading?  Those who control most of life on earth are either in religious beliefs or political beliefs, but also other areas of human life.  All who have "Holy" books as
their guide will always say that they understand.  Not really!  No one can fathom what the future is, either in the human realm or beyond.  There surely must be millions of people the world over who are frustrated to
the depths of their souls and beings over the seeming unsolvable problems of human life.  Common people have no control over the price of gas at the fuel pump, but live in disgust at being manipulated by those whose
only goal in life seems to be money, power and control.  Who is not weary to the bone over the never ending wars of death and destruction, always hyped up by massive propaganda, fed to the public by the "news" media and government?  With government "the bad guys" are always the other guy.  Who looks in the mirror?

Years ago the Worldwide Church of God published a booklet entitled "1975 in Prophecy" and the church members were led to believe that "the end" is near, and the church will flee to a place of "safety", generally thought of as being "Petra."  Of course 1975 was long ago and as with all individuals and groups who have set dates and led people to believe "this is the end", they were wrong.  They always are wrong.  Ever since people have been saying "Jesus is coming are you ready", millions of "Christians" and church goers who were told that, have come and gone from this life and Jesus has not returned.  Amazingly in the words of Jesus Himself, anyone can read that Jesus said "the Kingdom of God comes not with observation" and "the Kingdom of God is within you" and I wonder why anyone looks for a physical manifestation that is NEVER going to happen?

We are not living in the "end times", unless human beings themselves destroy all life on earth in their madness, through the stupidity of war.  What if the intention of God the Creator is that the earth will exist FOREVER and NEVER cease to produce human beings?  Is it possible to think and reason outside of the norm?  There is no living human being now or ever was, apart from God who knows the future and the Bible does NOT give any details. The Bible may say something about eternity or salvation or everlasting life, but what is that?    And what will beings be doing for eternity and will they be able to live in peace and harmony and happiness for all eternity?  In the human realm it is more than obvious that collectively humans have never moved toward peace on earth and good will among men.  Men have never beat their swords into plowshares and their spears into pruning hooks and learned war no more, based upon a passage in the Old Testament.

The human mind is very intelligent and should humans be resurrected with that intelligent mind, that mind will have to be kept challenged and active and busy forever or be so bored that life would have no meaning.  So then what will "spirit beings" be doing for the next trillion years and forever beyond?  We have no clue!  Plucking on a harp is not particularly attractive.  Is there some reason for this human existence?  We are all prisoners on earth and are subject to the elements, the governments, those who control secretly behind the scenes, the religions and all the thinking those goes into human life.  Making sense of it all seems to be beyond human ability.  Even if we "see" we are generally not going to change the course of those who wield power and make the decisions all of us have to live with (often against our will).

If we believe atheism, then this is it and it all ends in the local graveyard.  If we believe in God at least we have hope and an anchor, even though we have no capacity to understand what that future may be.  Do we really control our own destiny?

Apostate Malm: I am preparing the way for the Two Witnesses

Apostate Apostle Malm now claims he is preparing the path for the Two Witnesses to come forth.  I still am  amazed at the delusional idiots that always seem to come out of the woodwork of Armstrongism thinking they have some powerful message that people want to hear.  So far the track record of every single one of these men (and a couple of women) have been proven to be 100% wrong.  Yet these delusional idiots still come forth.  Liars all.

These are a few of the things the Apostate Apostle Malm says he is called to do:

To sow the seeds of knowledge, so that those who do fall into correction may remember and turn to God in true repentance; so that the correction will bring forth positive fruits.


 To restore some of those things which have been forgotten.

To reveal new understanding that was promised by God to be unsealed at the end time, and to aid in the increase fo spiritual knowledge promised for the very last days.

To prepare the way for God’s two prophets by alerting the brethren to the signs of the times and alerting the brethren to the situation within the church and the great falling away from Christ which has come upon us.

And finally, this is an overall effort to prepare the bride of Christ for the resurrection and marriage by pointing out the blemishes that need to be corrected and removed.

Badly Dressed Women and Football Players Are Causing Collapse of U.S. Economy

The Prophet Thiel is not happy with the Occupy New York folk.  He blames them for the failure of the American economy, along with immodestly dressed females, gays, and violent sports.  Yes, that's right.  The economy is failing because of sinful dressed women and football players.

I personally believe that, in the USA, factors such as legalizing abortion, redefining marriage, the increasing public acceptance of immodestly dressed females, pornography, violent sports, covetousness, and other sins are the root cause of its economic problems (cf. Deuteronomy 28:15-20).

The Prophet has a solution to all this:

There is a better way as there are appropriate biblical provisions for debt relief (Deuteronomy 15:1-2), gleaning (Leviticus 19:10), helping the poor (1 Timothy 5:3-7; Deuteronomy 26:12-15,.....

Say what?  Help the poor?  The POOR???????  Since when has Living Church of God helped the poor of Charlotte?  When has the leadership of LCG worked in a soup kitchen.  Do the students of Living University  have to fulfill community work in order to graduate?  Have ANY of them EVER worked in a homeless shelter? How many have worked in battered women's shelters?  How many sit for hours beside the beds of dying people?  How many have sat with a drug addict trying to come clean?

Their mantra is:

" The poor will always be with us.  We need to funnel our work and money into preaching the good news about the soon coming kingdom where all pain and misery will be erased.  It is not our place to do this, leave the pagan, fake Christians to take care of these pagan folk.  Out money and time is reserved for the TRUE Church of God members."

So am I being mean and vindictive by saying such a thing about LCG and COG's in general?  LCG would never say such a thing, would they?

The Prophet goes on:

God will solve the problems that plague humanity when He comes–this is part of the gospel–the good news–of the coming Kingdom of God.  Individually people should humble themselves and submit to Him and His ways now, but only few will currently do so.  People may not wish to hear this, but the Bible is clear that there will always be problems with poverty in this age.  Hence, income redistribution per se would not seem to be the biblical solution.

All of this class warfare, the occupy movements, rich vs poor, all of these are weakening the country in order for Baron Guttenberg and the Catholic church to come in and throw us all in concentration camps or make us their slaves in Europe.

The end-time sorrows and troubles in society are still in the beginning stages (Matthew 24:5-8), and will get much worse according to the Bible (Matthew 24:21-22). I believe that class warfare and other protests will escalate and help weaken the USA, Canada, and their other Anglo-nations and likely will also be a factor in them being vulnerable to real warfare: invasion by the final Beast power that the Bible warns about (Revelation 13; Daniel 11:39).

Armstrongism is a fear based belief system that takes partial truths and over blows them in order to make the fit the prophecies they want them to fit into.  Fear is the name of the game.
