Crackpot Prophet: Because I am dumping hundreds of poor translations of my books on the web I am now fulfilling prophecy!!!!!

 


In a letter yesterday to his 100 Caucasians and a few in Africa who might really care, the Great Bwana announced that he is dumping another load of books on the web that have been translated by language bots into foreign languages, and by doing so is preaching the greatest gospel message in human history! Due to that fact, Bwana Bob wants you to join his gravy train and send him your money because no other church on the face of the entire earth deserves it more than he does! Open those wallets up boys and girls! He doesn't want to hear metal clinking in the offering tray!

For some idiotic reason, the more translations of his booklets he gets translated by language bots is getting the gospel across to the world. How can that be when what he presents is a false gospel and is lucky to have one or two people in an entire country read it?


Dear Brethren and Co-Workers in Christ:

Greetings from the Five Cities region of California. 
 
We have been working on many aspects of the final phase of the work. 
 
We hope and pray that you believe God wants you to support the final phase of the work. 
 
Continuing to Make the Gospel of the Kingdom Booklet Accessible in More Languages

The final phase of the work includes reaching all we can with the good news of the kingdom of God to the world as a witness–which will also bear fruit. 
 
Jesus said:

14 And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in all the world as a witness to all the nations, and then the end will come. (Matthew 24:14) 
 
29 They will come from the east and the west, from the north and the south, and sit down in the kingdom of God. (Luke 13:29) 
 
Those scriptures support the view that multiple languages being used to reach people before Jesus returns–and that is also specifically pointed to in Revelation 7:9,14. 
 
While we had the English version of The Gospel of the Kingdom of God booklet translated into hundreds of languages, we still want to reach more people in as many languages as we can.
Last evening, we received formatted files for 25 more languages–this is in addition to the 27 translations we reported about last week. We plan to upload them and make them available shortly. 
 
We also expect that we will receive many more translations as that is also something we are working on. 
 
Having materials in as many languages as we can helps set the stage for the fulfillment of the prophecies of Luke 13:29 and Matthew 24:14 as well as others such as Revelation 7:9,14 and Romans 11:25. 
 
Never before in history has a booklet on the good news of the coming kingdom of God been translated into as many languages as we have done in the CCOG. 
 
And, as also mentioned last week, more are expected!

RCG/Alex Groen: After upstart church failed to attract new members, Revived Church of God rebrands Its self

 

In May of 2022, we reported here about another one of Dave Pack's ex-ministers who had started his own church to proclaim the gospel Dave Pack was no longer preaching, His name was Alex Groen' and he started up The Revived Church of God. Groen was a former employee and minister in the Restored Church of God. He is also one of well over 140 RCG ministers/employees who have left the RCG over the past several years.


Groen, much like Bob Thiel apparently imagined COG members would flock to his new upstart and help propel a final push for the COG that was filled with restored truths. Well, here we are one year later and Groen's upstart turned into an abysmal failure, so much so that's has rebranded himself as The Church of God Unity Project. He now envisions his "work" as unifying all churches of God into one big unified family which is ultimately working towards the same goal.

Introduction
The Church of God Unity Project (COGUP) is a registered 508(c)(1)(a) not-for-profit faith-based organization with a steadfast commitment to fostering unity within the Church of God, the "called out ones." Our primary focus is to bridge the gap between various Church of God corporate organizations by collaborating and working together towards common goals. By embracing the shared values and beliefs that bind us as one body, we strive to create a more harmonious and collaborative environment for all Church of God members worldwide.

Our History
The Church of God Unity Project emerged from a desire to think beyond the boundaries of traditional Church of God organizations. Our story began in 2022 with The Revived Church of God, founded by a minister who, after being part of an organization for 12 years, was navigating the complex landscape of the Church of God community. Despite the initial effort to establish a new organization, a growing sense of purpose revealed the need for a more impactful and innovative approach. 
 
Creating another Church of God organization often carries a stigma within the greater Church and tends to limit the reach of each corporate group to its immediate members. This realization highlighted the pressing need for a different solution – one that could bridge the divides that had emerged among the numerous organizations following the dissolution of the Worldwide Church of God under Herbert W. Armstrong.
 
 
Understanding the vital importance of unity and collaboration, we transformed our vision and founded The Church of God Unity Project (COGUP). Our mission is clear: to unite Church of God groups by collaborating on shared projects that promote common goals. As COGUP, we are dedicated to breaking down barriers and fostering an environment where unity, cooperation, and collective growth can thrive through joint efforts and initiatives.

Groen either was not aware of another "unity" group that has been running successfully for many years now or he is deliberately trying to undermine it.

That group is called Common Faith Network.


What is Common Faith Network?
Common Faith Network represents a collaborative effort between churches, congregations, ministries, and individuals to engage, equip and empower fellow Christians and congregations to fulfill the purposes for which God our Father and Jesus Christ, His Son, have called them.
CFN is not an incorporated organization but rather reflects working relationships between Christians accomplishing things together for the good of others. 
 
How did CFN start?
Several years ago, various individuals within the Churches of God Movement began to sense a void in the Christian World. Tiring of the frequent divisions and bickering within the church communities, they decided to start cooperating with one another as autonomous independent entities. 
 
Out of that sense of longing for unity and cooperation, the Common Faith Network movement was born. CFN organized and kept their first joint Feast of Tabernacles observance in the Fall of 2011. 
 
What is a CFN affiliate?
As mentioned above, CFN is an effort of individuals, ministries, congregations, and churches to work together. An affiliate can be either a person or a group from any one of those categories.
Our affiliates believe in the vision and purpose for which CFN operates and exists, and are willing to help in the work to be done. 

CFN has been holding many activities for COG members, regardless of church affiliation,  including open Feast of Tabernacles sites in various locations. 

Groen's new group will fall upon deaf ears of COG members who are tired of every other day hearing about a new COG splinter group claiming to be the best. After witnessing the absolutely appalling behavior of Bob Thiel and his group, members are shying away from this kind of upstarts big time. More will join up with CFN than Groien and Bob Thiel will ever attract.

Crackpot Prophet: I have the restored truths that COGWA does not know!

 


The best part about monitoring the Great Bwana to Africa and 100 Caucasians is to continue to witness his sheer arrogance and blinding narcissism. No other human on earth is as great as he is and is filled with such amazing truth as he has. He and he alone has restored the true gospel to this end time age. Never since the dawn of creation has a man so incredibly knowledgeable walked the face of this earth as we witness in the Great Bwana. 

No human in history has understood the Bible better than the Great Bwana Bob Thiel. Even Herbert Armstrong after spending 6 months in a public library was unable to match the wits of the Great Bwana who attended a few classes here and there at Fuller, Ambassador, and who finally got his "degree" in theology from an online diploma mill in India that operated out of a trailer. God was well pleased!

Today, the Chief Narcissist and Overseer of the improperly named "continuing" Church of "god" took another swipe at COGWA (CoG a Worldwide Ass.). Those poor ignorant fools over at COGWA do NOT have the complete revelation from God to certain doctrines. Only the Great Bwana has restored those truths to us and those truths can now only be found in his little cult.

COGWA reportedly asked these two questions on their website: What is the Purpose of Life? and What is God’s Will for Me?. COGWA's main point was that our purpose is to become gods and goddess just like God is.

The Great Bwana goes on to say how he search long and hard on COGWA's website for more answers but could not find the truths that he claims to hold.

What is your purpose? 
 
YOU are not the same as anyone else. The Bible teaches that “all the members do not have the same function … individually … God has set the members, each one of them, in the body just as He pleased” (Romans 12:4-5, 1 Corinthians 12:18). 
 
So, you are different. Your destiny is unique and important. Your life has meaning. 
 
What is the biblical meaning of your life? 
 
Who are you? 
 
YOU are one who can give love in a unique way. 
 
And that is something you will be able to do eternally. 
 
In the middle of the last century, the Church of God (Seventh Day) published: 
 
The Christian lives not only for today; he anticipates a better tomorrow. (What the Church of God Believes. The Bible Advocate and Herald of the Coming Kingdom. October 3, 1949, p. 7) 
 
But a Christian does not simply anticipate a better tomorrow. A true Christian builds character now through the tests, opportunities, and trials in life (cf. Romans 5:1-4) which will help the Christian be able to personally contribute to the “better tomorrow.” 
 
Ultimately God has special plans for YOU personally. 
 
God made you to give love in your own individual way (cf. 1 Corinthians 12:20-13:10). 
 
But how? 
 
Essentially, by now living by faith and obedience to God in this life. 
 
By being obedient, making biblical choices, having faith, practicing love, and enduring to the end, Christians will not only build character but make eternity better for themselves and others. …

Bwana then goes on to add that he has restored the rest of the truth that no one else knows about. 

More restored truths on this subject can be in the free online book: The MYSTERY of GOD’s PLAN: Why Did God Create Anything? Why did God make you? (hyperlinlk removed)

His followers are told that they will soon be "instructing many" and should be preparing to do that by reading his booklets.

Will YOU Instruct Many?
Christians are always supposed to be able to give ‘an answer’ (KJV) ‘a defense’ (NKJV) according to the Apostle Peter. There are prophecies concerning witnesses in the end times that will “instruct many.” Will you be among them? Are there materials that you can study now which may increase the chance that God will use YOU as one of His witnesses to instruct many in these end times.

The world will be in really bad shape if any of Bwana Bob's members are left to educate humanity! When he himself and his other speakers cannot deliver coherent sermons what hope is there for the rest of the world? 

Bob needs to stop lying. He and his followers will not be "teachers in any so-called "kingdom" he expects to come nor will they be teachers in a "place of safety".
