Fudge Bob Square Pants notes:
"...the creation of Adam or his departure from Eden was around 3983 BC."
...therefore might I suggest...
3983 BCE + 2021 CE = 6004
This would suggest the 6000 year plan of God for man is possibly over now and prophetically "Are we possibly 4 years into the Millennium and didn't know it?"
A possible problem with the 6000 year plan of God in North America.
Those funny folk over at the Philadelphia Church of God cult compound have an article up on their website asking: "Are You Tired of Being Lied To?".
Seriously? This is the PCG writing this! A church that has told more lies than even Bob Thiel has, which is hard to believe!
Apparently, none of those fun boys at the Compound want to take credit for the article, Gerald and Lil'Stevie sure did not.
We live in a time when truth is becoming very rare and precious. What is the truth about covid-19? Are masks helpful or harmful? Are vaccines saving lives or killing people? What is the truth about the United States presidential election? How about global warming? Or is it global cooling? What is the truth? And do you really want to know?
Jesus Christ said the truth will make you free (John 8:32). Just think about how much easier and less stressful life would be if people told the truth—all the time! Surely everyone would want to live in a world of complete honesty. Or would they? Would you?
The question that should always be asked is, "would you want to live in a world ruled over by the Philadelphia Church of God people"? The answer to that is NO!
The sad truth is that people lie, even though the Ninth Commandment forbids it. Romans 3:4 says, “[L]et God be true, but every man a liar ….” Many studies show that people typically lie to get out of trouble or to make themselves look good.
Never has this been more evident than what we see in the current leadership of the Churches of God. From Gerald Flurry lying about the coronation stone, Lil's Stevie about Mystery of the Ages lawsuit, Bob Thiel and his double blessing and dreams he has had, to Dave Pack's creature Jesus supposedly coming back to Wadsworth to walk the hallowed grounds of the cult compound and his all things common teaching. The liars that now make up the leadership make Herbert Armstrong and Gerald Waterhouse look like saints!
The anonymous writer continues:
But did you know that most people actually want to be lied to?
Well, YES, we do! Look at the followers of Flurry, Pack, Thiel, and Weinland. Deep down some of their followers have to know their leader is bat-shit-crazy and a certified liar, but yet they sit there, week after week, feeling special and called out. Who cares if the leader lies, God will work it all out in the end.
God inspired the Prophet Isaiah to record, “That this is a rebellious people, lying children, children that will not hear the law of the Lord: Which say to the seers, See not; and to the prophets, Prophesy not unto us right things, speak unto us smooth things, prophesy deceits” (Isaiah 30:9-10).
This is a specific prophecy of what would happen to God’s own people in our time. Many of them would reject the truth of God, preferring to hear smooth-sounding lies. This attitude is rampant in the modern nations of Israel—specifically the United States, Britain and the Jewish nation in the Middle East.
The anonymous writer is right! COG members have rejected truth for the smoothing talking lies of today's COG leaders.
No wonder lies are growing in politics, medicine and the media! The ground is fertile for planting the seeds of deception. The peoples of physical and spiritual Israel prefer to be lied to. Why?
Sady, Armstrongism has been fertile ground for liars to easily dupe members with smooth-sounding lies and half-truths. The entire COG belief system has been built upon a lie, half-truths, and crafty words from smooth-talking charlatans.
Christ gives us the answer in John 3:19-21: “And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved. But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God.”
The men leading various COG's today love the darkness of their lies and have no problem in lying with compunction. Just look at Dave Pack and Bob Thiel. There is no end to the lies these two will tell.
We cannot pick and choose when it comes to the truth. We need to accept the full truth on every issue—including ourselves. And the real truth is founded on God’s Word.
The Church of God has always held up the standard and waved it high as they craftily picked and chose what they wanted to do and what they didn't want to do. They should have called the COG the Half-assed COG, because none of them ever did anything fully.
Psalm 111:10 shows us that if we are to have a good understanding, we must keep the commandments of God. God’s Ninth Commandment forbids lying. Every time we tell a lie or accept a lie, we move further away from God’s truth.
The COG has been on a downward slippery slope for decades. It has been moving away from the truth for decades since it rejected grace, justification, and sanctification.
The choice is yours. If you are tired of being lied to, choose to live the way of God’s truth in your life. “Remove from me the way of lying … I have chosen the way of truth …” (Psalm 119:29-30).
Since the lying false prophets of the COG will not leave, their members are abandoning them with vigor. They have chosen to remove themselves from the liars.
Do you really want to know the truth?
Will, you choose to stop being lied to by Bob Thiel, Dave Pack, Gerald Flurry, Ron Weinland, and the host of other COG leaders?
Rabbi Thiel corrects the Jews who don't even know their own scriptures.
The Temple Institute had the following in its latest newsletter:“See now that it is I! I am the One”(Deuteronomy 32:39)Tishrei 9, 5782 …New Moon Over Israel Marking The New Year Of 5782! … The new year of 5782 is off to a great start …5782 is supposedly how many years ago Adam was created (the Jews call it 5782 anno mundi, for ‘years of the world’). That is wrong.No, Temple Institute, it is NOT the year 5782.The Jewish year claim confuses many people as the numbers do not add up with scripture.
"While I do not agree with all that is asserted in the above, the author is correct that the dating issue with the Jews seemed to be deliberate. Consider also the following prophecy:4 … Their lies lead them astray, Lies which their fathers followed. (Amos 2:4)4 … And their lies have caused them to err, After which their fathers did walk. (Amos 2:4, JPS)4 … their lies caused them to fall into error and live the way their ancestors did. (Amos 2:4, CJB)Many peoples have chosen to rely on lies, sometimes called tradition (though not all traditions are based on lies), instead of acting on the truth.It Jews would accept the truth over tradition, they also would realize that Jesus is the Messiah. For details, check out the first three chapters of the free online book: Proof Jesus is the Messiah."
"It is not just the Jews that misunderstand years. Related to a period that some, like the Messianic Protestant Jonathan Cahn, say that starting sunset September 6, 2021, we entered a Shemitah year and this supposedly has prophetic implications. "
8This saying is trustworthy. And I want you to emphasize these things, so that those who have believed God will take care to devote themselves to good deeds. These things are excellent and profitable for the people. 9But avoid foolish controversies, genealogies, arguments, and quarrels about the law, because these things are pointless and worthless. 10Reject a divisive man after a first and second admonition,…Titus 3:9
"Yet, because that years of life are not exact (few people are born and die on the precisely same calendar date–hence there could possibly be 10 or so additional years)""As far as the years go, here is some of the biblical genealogy for the first portion from Genesis 5 (last verse from Genesis 7):3 And Adam lived one hundred and thirty years, and begot a son in his own likeness, after his image, and named him Seth.6 Seth lived one hundred and five years, and begot Enosh.9 Enosh lived ninety years, and begot Cainan.12 Cainan lived seventy years, and begot Mahalalel.15 Mahalalel lived sixty-five years, and begot Jared.18 Jared lived one hundred and sixty-two years, and begot Enoch.21 Enoch lived sixty-five years, and begot Methuselah.25 Methuselah lived one hundred and eighty-seven years, and begot Lamech. 2628 Lamech lived one hundred and eighty-two years, and had a son. 29 And he called his name Noah…7:11 In the six hundredth year of Noah’s life, in the second month, the seventeenth day of the month, on that day all the fountains of the great deep were broken up, and the windows of heaven were opened. NKJV.Added up, this equals 1656 years (so, some might call this 1656 anno mundi, 1656 AM, 1656 ‘years of the world’). This would mean that the flood was about 4,345 years ago.Now, here is the next portion of genealogies from Genesis 11:10 This is the genealogy of Shem: Shem was one hundred years old, and begot Arphaxad two years after the flood.12 Arphaxad lived thirty-five years, and begot Salah.14 Salah lived thirty years, and begot Eber.16 Eber lived thirty-four years, and begot Peleg.18 Peleg lived thirty years, and begot Reu.20 Reu lived thirty-two years, and begot Serug.22 Serug lived thirty years, and begot Nahor.24 Nahor lived twenty-nine years, and begot Terah.26 Now Terah lived seventy years, and begot Abram, Nahor, and Haran.32 So the days of Terah were two hundred and five years, and Terah died in Haran.Added up, this equals 427 years (2+35+30+34+30+32+30+29+205=427), so 2083 Anno Mundi. The age of Terah when Abraham was born has also been debated (see section later called The Age of Terah at the Time of Abram’s Birth), though is not part of the above calculation.Galatians 3:17 shows 430 years; while 1 Kings 6:1 shows 480 years from the exodus from Egypt to the fourth year of Solomon’s reign (this, by the way, would make the Exodus as occurring in 1446 B.C., which is 966 + 480;For more details see When was the Exodus?).
"...the creation of Adam or his departure from Eden was around 3983 BC. Yet, because that years of life are not exact (few people are born and die on the precisely same calendar date–hence there could possibly be 10 or so additional years), this could be off somewhat–but it does give a biblical indication of when the end is coming."
