The Mystical Power of Ambassador Auditorium

Here is a quote by Geoffrey Neilson, a rabid Armstrongite from South Africa, who dreams up all kinds of conspiracy theories and prophetic timelines in COG history.  Every single prophecy and date he has set has failed miserably!  You would think after 26 years of doing this silliness he would stop.  26 years of failed predictions should be getting tiring by now.

Here is his take on the Ambassador Auditorium and what will happen when the musicians who have performed there over the decades that the COG had it are resurrected and come to find out that HWA was connected to it.  It always amazes me on how powerful HWA is compared to wimpy Jesus.  Recent musicians that have played there since Harvest Crock took over do not qualify for this amazing understanding.

Imagine the response of these musicians when they discover--after the Messiah appears, or when they are resurrected--that they performed at the headquarters of the true Church of God, built by the endtime Elijah! In most--if not all cases--their astonishment will result in their talents being transformed to sing the praises of God, influencing many others to follow suit. That probably was the longterm plan God had in mind for their performances at Ambassador Auditorium.

Prophet Thiel: Obama's Ability To Attack US Citizens Who Are Terrorists Soon To Be Used Against COG?

In yet another pathetic attempt to read news through his newly found and doubly blessed prophetic eyes, prophet Thiel has an entry up today about the Obama Administrations over-reaching rules regarding its right to kill U. S. citizens who are members of terrorist organizations without due process of the law.

Prophet Thiel lists many concerns that have been in the news lately by various news organizations and media personalities. There are a lot of concerns being voiced about this new action that many see as a serious violation of previously held citizen’s rights. This is nothing new that his prophetic brain suddenly was inspired to write.

Prophet Thiel in typical COG conspiracy theory laden death and doom fashion concludes his blog entry with a simple paragraph that initially looks benign but is in actuality a prediction that Church of God ministers and churches could eventually be attacked and killed for speaking the "truth."

The wanna-be prophet writes:

Those in the USA who feel that they are protected by a variety of ‘constitutional’ rights are learning that their government is narrowing those rights.  Today it is high-level membership in al-Qaida or similar organizations, tomorrow it could be other unrelated groups and perhaps some who are not as high-level.

Either way, the citizens of the USA do not have all the rights that their government used to claim that they had.

COG Secrets: Adam and Eve's Nakedness and Learning Greek So You Can Think Like God

For many years Rob Petry was on various COG groups preaching his understating about all kinds of COG related topics.  He was particularly prolific on the Yahoo groups.  I had forgotten about the guy because he was so crazy that he was easily dismissed.

A reader here sent me the following from him.  I did not know he was till around, but I always fail to remember that COG men who claim to have prophetic understating never fade away.

He offers these views on why Adam and Eve never knew they were naked until they ate the "apple."  Apparently since they were "god" beings at the moment of creation they were clothed in a dazzling aura of light that surrounded them. It was soooooooooooooooooo bright that they could not see they were naked. This amazing new teaching makes the picture above by Basil Wolverton to be a deceitful lie!

This is a simple question also. But, it is the simple that confuses and befuddles the human mind with it’s attitude of “being so superior” and “self-knowing.” Here’s that simple answer, first without explanation.
Before they sinned they could not see their bodies. So, if they could not see their bodies they could not have known they were naked.

How could that be, you ask? Well, they could not see their bodies, that’s why. Why is that so hard to understand? Because you are using a normal, carnal human mind in rebellion to the Creator in order to try and understand the simple teaching of the Bible. Even Paul speaks of the simplicity of the Evangel.
OK, here’s why they couldn’t see their bodies, and what happened so they could see them clearly. At that moment, they knew they were naked.

Let me ask you this question. If you believe what the Bible says, and IF you “know” what it says, can a human being LOOK at the Father in all His power and glory? If you don’t know the answer, then no wonder you don’t know what happened to Adam and Eve. You are truly ignorant of the Scriptures.

Let’s look at the obvious, after understanding. For, before understanding the answer lies hidden right before our eyes. Once you “understand” this, it will jump out of the Scriptures at you clearly. You know, like those moments when we say to ourselves, why of course, I knew that, I just never put it together before.

How then did Adam and Eve realize they were naked?

Adam was formed first.

“YHWH Elohim formed man of dust from the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living being.”

Later, Eve was taken from the side of Adam. The normal translation says from a “rib” but the implication is more from his side than just a rib. Be that as it may, they were formed as adults, with certain knowledge and ability already built in. Language and basic knowledge so they could communicate. Now, here’s a key part that tells us what happened. That is, IF we use a stable mind and not the double-mind of unconverted mankind. Here’s the statement:

“… Man is the IMAGE of Elohim, and the mirror of His glory.”

Also,

“… let US make man in Our own IMAGE.”

Well, what was that image like? Well, speaking of YHWH, we have a beautiful description.

“Thou art CLOTHED with honor and majesty. Who COVEREST Thyself with LIGHT AS WITH A GARMENT.”

Adam and Ever were also of that image. Although not of the same quality, their original bodies were COVERED with LIGHT, that is, with a GLORY like the glory of the Father!”

So, what happened to make Adam and Eve see their nakedness? Very SIMPLE. The MOMENT they SINNED, they LOST their glory, or LIGHT covering.  i.e. Their “clothing.” They now were fully exposed. No longer did they “glow” as does the Father and His Son in light. That light also kept them warm, but no longer.

This is also the same guy who thinks that God speaks in Greek, Hebrew and Aramaic, otherwise why would the Bible have been preserved in these languages? By learning those three languages you will learn to think just as God thinks!  Woo!

The Bible was preserved in three specific languages. Hebrew, Aramaic and Greek. And, the Father has inspired and led you to learn a language that leads to something very important. In fact, exceptionally important. That is:

“Let this MIND be in you….”

That’s right. By learning Greek, and Hebrew, you actually learn to think as the Father thinks. Including His Son. Remember, they preserved their thoughts in these languages for a reason!
