The plague

Run for your lives! The Zombie deer are coming!

One thing self-appointed Church of God prophets do is to never let a good story go to waste.  They will find every way imaginable to twist it into some prophetic incident to fit their perverted timelines. 

Zombie Deer Disease is Here! Are the 10 Plagues on Egypt Coming?

According to certain Jewish traditions, the ten plagues on Egypt are to be repeated before the Messiah comes. Some have wondered if ”Zombie Deer Disease,’ officially knows as ‘Chronic Wasting Disease’ (which is spreading according to the US CDC) is confirmation of that Jewish view. In this video Dr. Thiel goes over each of the ten plagues that struck the Egyptians in the Book of Exodus and ties them in with prophecies in the Gospels and the Book of Revelation. These ‘plagues’ in the New Testament are to happen before Jesus returns. Are all ten to be repeated or are there at least some similarities between what happened to the Egyptians and what will happen in the Beginning of Sorrows, the Great Tribulation, and the Day of the Lord? Are we going to see waters turned to blood, ‘frogs,’ flying swarms, disease pestilences, hail, food shortages, darkness, and massive death? Will some be even worse in the end times than what afflicted Egypt? Are any Christians promised protection from the coming ‘hour of trial’? Who and why? Dr. Thiel addresses these questions and more through scriptures in the Old and New Testaments.

COGWA: It Is Ok To Eat Out On Saturdays

One of the age-old debates in the Church of God is whether it is ok to eat in a restaurant on Friday nights or Saturday during the day. Legalists, like Pharisee James Malm, go into mental meltdowns over the idea of someone enjoying a relaxing meal with friends after church on a Saturday. Even worse, if you take your kids out to Ihop Saturday morning for some pancakes and family time together. Ghastly days!

This is one thing Herbert Armstrong never spoke out against, thankfully, nor did he ever change his mind. Only those that worship the law down through the years have been those that have made this an issue.

COGWA had this up on their site:

EATING IN A RESTAURANT ON THE SABBATH

Three points should be made clear:

1. It is not sinful to eat in a restaurant on the Sabbath.
2. It is not wrong to refrain from eating in a restaurant on the Sabbath.
3. It is wrong for members to judge others for their decision on whether they choose to eat in a restaurant on the Sabbath.

The decision to eat in a restaurant on the Sabbath is a matter of how to keep the Sabbath, not whether to keep it. There is no disagreement about the Sabbath being holy.

Herbert Armstrong’s teaching and practice on this subject can be traced as far back as the late 1940s, and he consistently taught that eating in a restaurant on the Sabbath was permissible. This subject has been examined by conscientious and capable ministers many times throughout the modern history of the Church, and the conclusion has always been the same.

The Church of God, a Worldwide Association, teaches that it is not a sin to eat in a restaurant on the Sabbath. If members choose to go to a restaurant for food and fellowship on the Sabbath, they are not doing something that Christ would judge as being evil, but that which is acceptable and appropriate.
