LCG: "True Disciples" Don't Skip Church On Saturday

Doug Winnail is hard at work again guilting LCG members who do not show up every single week for church services. A family day at the park or the zoo is far more spiritually beneficial than wasting 2 1/2 hours listening to canned sermons that are from the 1970's or straight out of a church publication.

The Importance of Fellowship: David wrote, “How good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity” (Psalm 133:1). Jesus enjoyed and looks forward to enjoying the opportunity of future fellowship with His called and chosen disciples (Luke 22:15–16). He also stated that His true disciples would be recognized by the love they have for one another (John 13:35). In the same manner, the Apostle Paul urged Christians, “let us consider one another in order to stir up love and good works, not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as is the manner of some, but exhorting one another, and so much the more as you see the Day [of Christ’s return] approaching” (Hebrews 10:24–25). The Sabbath is a wonderful time to enjoy the opportunity to fellowship with God, with Jesus Christ, and with others of like mind.

Have a profitable Sabbath,

Crackpot Liver "Profit" So Embarrassed By His Own Theology Books That He Covers Them Up

 

This is the Great Bwana to Africa Bob Mzungu Thiel, the highest of all Church of God leaders in human history. The biggest and best "profit" the Church of God has had walking in its midst. This is the same dude that proclaims he is the one and only COG leader preaching the truth originally restored by Herbert Armstrong. Not by Jesus, mind you, but Herb.

Here he is pitching the overpriced supplements that he calls "food", plus he has covered up all of his books of the crap theology he preaches. Instead of a big fat Bible thrust in our faces, it's a bottle of "food".

From a reader.

PS: In case you thought his religious videos were bad, he is not any better at selling his products. This is rather pathetic. Hat tip, Ronco

Bill Goff's "Kenya Hands of Hope" Puts Bob Thiel's Shameful African Leadership To Shame

 

We have all seen the blustering and chest-thumping that the Great Bwana Bob Mzungu Thiel does regarding Africa. As his so-called ministry grows more ineffectual day by day, due to witchcraft practices and adultery, other COG-related ministries in Africa are making a difference.

Here is the latest from Bill Goff posted on COGNews:

Evangelism in Africa – it’s not about the numbers 

 

Bill Goff of Kenya Hands of Hope wrote on the 21st of July 2023 : 

 

Nehemiah Sibwoga has begun an outreach ministry of bringing Bible studies to the youth, both inside and outside the Church of God. It’s called “Nehemiah’s Daily Bread”. He has been moving around to our various church groups, and giving the studies, and also serving a simple nutritional meal (can’t learn with an empty belly). The study is open to all youths, and the project is being funded by other youths in the United States. 

Compare that to Bob Thiel's so-called evangelist who sits in fancy restaurants eating while those with him have no food and have to watch him eat as he sits in silence. Imagine feeding the brethren instead of the ministry first! 

But before I elaborate on that, the Principal at Nehemiah’s old High School liked his Bible studies so much that he called the entire school to assembly numerous times and had him give the study to all students and staff. Those Bible studies were going on great, there were so many having their first love, learning Truth direct from the Scriptures … until the Monsignor was informed, who immediately stepped in and put a stop to it. (The High School is a Catholic establishment.) 

Bob Thiel and none of his so-called evangelists would ever dare to do such a thing. 

Nehemiah was quite worried that the Principal (who loved what he was learning from the studies) would lose his position, his job. But I assured the Principal at that time that our Creator would only bless him for not only his love for Truth, but also for allowing the Truth to be shared with the entire school. (And they all knew it was Truth that they were learning, because Nehemiah gave the Principal [as he did to all of the teachers, and some students] their very own Bible so they could read and study and prove for themselves what the Word of God actually says. I reassured the Principal at that time that this trial would turn out quite positive, because I knew that God was involved in these important studies right from the start. But the Principal feared, because the Monsignor had opened up a full investigation into the matter. When this all started, with God’s hand in it, the students, teachers, and Principal loved the teachings and were on fire for the Truth they were learning. 

It is interesting that you never see Bwana Bob posting comments from his followers that they LOVE his ministry. Even his Caucasians don't respond to him. 

Well the verdict is in, and God’s hand is clearly seen, the Principal was blessed. The investigating committee just finished their probe, and in their conclusion they stated that: “the Principal did nothing wrong by allowing Nehemiah to give those Bible studies. After all, they said, Nehemiah graduated High School here, and he has even been giving teachers and students their very own Bibles.” They commended the Principal for allowing the Bible Studies. And they went on to say that Nehemiah is welcome to continue coming and giving the studies any time, that the door is open. The only stipulation is that he doesn’t try to draw people away, into his own group. 

Bob Thiel has gone out of his way to poach African members from other COG/Sbbatarian groups. Claiming he has the only truth and that salvation is not available outside his group leads to all kinds o problems. 

Well no problem there, because the “True” Church of God would never try to draw followers to themselves, but only to point them upstairs, to our Creator. We have been against that kind of behavior ever since we first came in to Kenya in 2005; and we addressed it quite boldly, we called it “turning that tide”. Here is a quote from our “Why support this ministry” page published back in 2007: 

 

“Common Problem Plaguing the Church of God World Wide”

 

“Aside from a lack of mosquito nets, and Bibles, I also found another problem among many of our brethren in Kenya, a “huge” problem, and one that has been plaguing the church of God all around the world. Many of the brethren were confused about whom they need to pledge their allegiance to. You see, all the big groups are there in Kenya, and many are confusing the brethren by competing for control over them. Many of those groups pressure the brethren to be part of their particular “man-made” organization. (Some even preach that one’s salvation depends on it.) So our work was cut out for us. It was time to turn the tide; by pointing the brethren to God and teaching them that He (God) is the one that we all need to be pledging our allegiance to. There is only one “Head” in the church. There is only one Body, one Spirit, and one Vine that we all need to be directly connected to.”

This is what Bwana Bob Mzungu does in Africa. He poaches members from other COG's and then threatens them that if they do not join him their salvation is at risk. They will be too dumb to understand when it is time to flee to the hellhole he is planning to create in the Transjordan area.
