Living Church of God Members Need To Be More Open To Instruction, Suggestions and Correction!


 


I feel sorry for Living Church of God members for constantly being in a state of unworthiness. Week after week it is one correction after another. There is always something that they seem to be doing wrong.

This week LCG members are being told that they need to not be convinced their opinions are right but need to be open to instruction, suggestions, and correction from the ministry. I think we have all seen how well this has worked out over the decades with LCG ministers, starting with Meredith and Weston!

So get on your knees this week and beg God to give you more of the spirit so you can easily be entreated.

Are You Easily Entreated? The Apostle James describes a Christian using God’s Spirit as “easy to be entreated” (James 3:17, King James Version) or “willing to yield to reason” (Amplified Bible, Classic Edition) or “reasonable” (New American Standard Bible). Such a person will not be so convinced that his or her opinions or actions are right that advice from others is ignored. The Bible reveals that Solomon made a similar observation: “The way of a fool is right in his own eyes, but he who heeds counsel is wise” (Proverbs 12:15). Solomon also stressed the importance of being receptive to advice (Proverbs 19:20, 27; 22:17), and he repeatedly warned that serious consequences come when we ignore advice (Proverbs 8:36; 29:1). A humble and converted Christian will not overestimate the value of his or her opinions or actions but will be teachable (like David’s attitude in Psalm 25:4) and open to instructions, suggestions, and correction. Real Christians are easily entreated!
Have a profitable Sabbath,
Douglas S. Winnail

Notice what Winnail left out from the scripture he quoted:

James 3:17

But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, and easy to be intreated, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality, and without hypocrisy.

When...WHEN has the ministry of the LCG practiced mercy? What about being "without impartiality"? We all know how well they have NOT done this. And then there is the pesky point of hypocrisy. 

LCG has had to deal with this from day one when Meredith remained in WCG in order for them to pay his attorney fees, court costs, and final judgment awarded for slandering Leona McNair. Then, once he and the church lost the court case, he bolted to the Global Church of God that was already set up for him, to jump ship into without ever having to do any work or get his hands dirty. Then he stabbed Raymond McNair and others in the back, took all their money and members, and started another splinter group. Oh, and don't forget Herbert Armstrong banishing him to Hawaii to learn some humility which he was unable to do, and whined to HWA about how he was being treated.

Sadly, for far too many in the COG ministry hypocrisy is the title that is most appropriate for them instead of minister/pastor.

The "Bob"sey Twins Talk About Book of Joshua and Artificial Intelligence

 

Well, it's another story about the Great Bwana Bob and his trusty sidekick Steve Depuie. 

The Great Bwana has had numerous nightmares over the last few years that Satan would use artificial intelligence to imitate him and spread false teachings or even discredit him altogether and make the improperly named "continuing" Church of God look like complete fools. Bwanas Bob doesn't need to worry about Ai doing that since he does a superb job already! Nowhere in the history of the church have we had such a man who unintentionally discredits himself every time he opens his mouth.

Anyway, the newly formed comedic Bob'sey Twins continued with their road show and have a new sermon on artificial intelligence (Ai) and even try and refer people to Joshua where Ai is mentioned (which it does, it is a city).

Here is the nonsense they both are preaching. No Jesus mind you, but complete inspirational pseudo-Christian conspiratorial idiocy.

Is AI in the Bible?

The Bible refers to a place that was ruined in the Book of Joshua called “Ai.” 

Are there any parallels to what is known as Artificial Intelligence (AI)? 

What did Joe Kovacs say about that? 

Are there any risks to AI, such as those warned about by Elon Musk? 

Are common AI sources like ChatGPT and Bing AI always reliable? 

Are there certain passages in the Bible, such as prophecies related to the militaristic Beast and Antichrist in the Book of Revelation, that point to the use of AI in the end times? 

Is the use of computer software consistent with the prophecies of the 666 Beast power? 

Does the New Testament have warnings of impostors deceiving? 

Is it possible that demons and AI will be involved in the end time? 

Will the nations of this world fight Jesus upon His return? 

Could AI affect and deceive humans? 

Dr. Thiel and Steve Dupuie address these matters.

Finally! One of the Two Witnesses Has Been Named!


Get ready to be amazed and stand in awe of who one of the two witnesses is. No, it is NOT our petulant crybaby Bwana Bob Thiel, but Aaron Dean! Woo Hoo! I am sure the first witness will be Herbert Armstrong as this story has been floating since he died and that he was coming back to life as one of the two witnesses.

What is Laodicea? In Revelation 12:17 we see a remnant receives IDENTITY AFTER the Church of the Philadelphia era goes into a place of protection and safety(See Rev 3:10, and Rev 12:14-16). That is when Laodicea begins the work of God. Prior to that, they were doing their own works that's why they didn't go to a place of safety. Otherwise the Church who goes into the place of safety, is doing the work of God(see Revelation 3:7-13). 
 
So Philadelphia has a witness leading them. 
 
Laodicea repents too late and must go through the Great Tribulation. Their witness is witnessing to them that the first witness is true, and he is assisting the Philadelphia witness. The Laodicean witness is ministering to them while they are going through the Great Tribulation, bringing them to repentance. 
 
Those who come out of the great Tribulation will be grafted in with Philadelphia, as there is no two churches of God only ONE CHURCH OF GOD. The Worldwide Church of God.(See Zechariah 2)
So we see, that what is produced through God's Work in Herbert W Armstrong, continues for the building and edification of the Worldwide Church of God until Christ returns! The men who will be the two witnesses of God, will be used to finish the Temple or Church age! 
 
One is outside of the ministry and one is pastor general of the ministry. Like Moses and Aaron.
Aaron conceded to the whims of the people and repented. So we see a Joshua figure repenting and bring brought up to lead God's Church under Philadelphia or Moses type. 
 
I personally believe that the assistant to Mr. Armstrong, Aaron Dean, the one who helped write Mystery of the Ages, is the one who will lead God's people as the second witness. 
 
The Kitchen family has only been here to preserve, preserve the Worldwide Church of God. Members of our family have died in that battle and together we give witness of how Satan wants God's Church destroyed! 
 
But we are not looking for followers. We look only to warn and to preserve. 
 
That's what our work has been about. That's why we don't receive tithes and offerings and why we are not ministers! 
 
Right now, the ministry is locked in chains much like how Joshua the High Priest was chained by Satan to keep them from doing the work of God. But God is going to release the ministry and things will come back together in greater power as you've never seen before! 
 
God is in control brethren! Don't you lose sight of that!  Recapture Tomorrow
