Ai COG: Jehovah's Witnesses vs WCG (Armstrongism)

 



Part 1: Doctrinal Foundations and Authority

FEB 21, 2025

1. Authority of Scripture: The Ultimate "Choose Your Own Adventure" Bible Edition

Let’s start with authority — because why trust thousands of years of biblical scholarship when you can make your own version of the Bible? That’s right, we’re talking about the Jehovah’s Witnesses and their New World Translation (NWT). Why use a perfectly good Bible when you can “improve” it to fit your own unique beliefs? For instance, in John 1:1, the NWT helpfully suggests that instead of “the Word was God,” we go with, “the Word was a god.” It’s like the Bible was a salad bar, and Jehovah’s Witnesses decided to throw in a few extra ingredients to make it taste better — like “let’s throw in some polytheism while we’re at it!” The result is a Bible that's about as accurate as a horoscope.

Armstrongism takes a different approach — instead of rewriting the Bible, they take an entirely different direction: Herbert W. Armstrong becomes your personal Bible commentary. Don’t waste time reading the Scriptures yourself — just turn to Armstrong’s latest magazine, his books, or his radio broadcast for the true interpretation. So, while traditional Christians have to suffer through an ancient text with historical context, Armstrongism gives you the joy of seeing everything filtered through the great Herbert, like a theological Instagram filter that makes everything look extra holy.

Meanwhile, traditional Christianity simply goes with the Bible. I know, shocker, right? The Church has spent thousands of years carefully interpreting the Bible, with the guidance of the Holy Spirit, no need for constant updates or dramatic reimaginings. But sure, who needs 2,000 years of history when you can be your own revelatory prophet?

2. The Nature of God (The Trinitarian Tug-of-War)

Next up, let’s talk about God — and by that, I mean the god that Jehovah’s Witnesses and Armstrongism made up because they didn’t quite get the memo on the Trinity.

Let’s start with the Jehovah’s Witnesses: Why have a Trinity when you can just have one all-powerful guy with a whole bunch of rules and a super-angel sidekick? Jehovah is the boss, and Jesus is like the angel-in-chief. According to the Witnesses, Jesus was created by Jehovah — not eternal, not fully divine, but a “god” in the sense of being the world’s best employee. So, instead of a perfect, loving relationship between Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, we get a cosmic version of “I’m the boss, and you’re the assistant manager.” But don’t worry, the Holy Spirit is just God’s active force — it’s like calling your Wi-Fi signal the “Holy Spirit.” Sure, it works when it needs to, but it’s really not much to chat with over coffee.

Then there’s Armstrongism — ah yes, here we get God’s FamilyHerbert W. Armstrong didn’t just want a Trinity, he wanted the ultimate family reunion. According to him, the Father and the Son are the only ones in the God Family, but humans are totally invited to join the party! According to Armstrong, God is like the CEO of the universe, and guess what? If you play your cards right, you can get promoted to divine status! Imagine a family Thanksgiving dinner where you’re not just hoping to get a slice of turkey — you’re aiming to inherit the company! So, forget communion with God — just sign up for Armstrongism and claim your seat at the divine dinner table.

Meanwhile, traditional Christianity teaches that God is one essence in three persons: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. A perfect relationship of love, unity, and eternal existence. Not a cosmic business model. Not a “family plan” where we’re all invited to get a divine inheritance. Just a beautiful mystery where God’s love flows through the Trinity, and you’re invited to share in itthrough the grace of Christ.

3. Who is Jesus? The Eternal Son or a Superangel in Disguise?

When it comes to Jesus, both Jehovah’s Witnesses and Armstrongism have truly outdone themselves in inventing their own versions of the Savior of the World — as long as you don’t mind stripping Jesus of His divinity.

Jehovah’s Witnesses like to rebrand Jesus as a super-angel, created by Jehovah, who exists somewhere in the “heavenly management team.” They’ve made Him important, of course, but He’s not God. Just imagine if you were at a divine board meeting and you got promoted from being a temp worker to manager of salvation — that’s essentially the Jehovah’s Witness view of Jesus. He’s important, but He’s not really the Savior of the world. But don’t worry, He’ll be there at Armageddon to save all the faithful Jehovah’s Witnesses from being wiped out (by the way, the rest of humanity gets the boot, but that’s a minor detail).

Armstrongism, not to be outdone, makes Jesus into the Messiah, but also a glorified "King" whose job isn’t to save humanity from sin but to set up the Millennial Kingdom. So, instead of a Savior who reconciles us with God through His death and resurrection, Jesus is more like a future world ruler who’s coming back to hand out heavenly real estate. But no need to worry about sin or anything trivial like that — the focus is on whether or not you’ve kept the right Sabbath and avoided pork in your diet. After all, it’s all about preparation for the coming kingdom — or as Armstrong might call it, “The Ultimate Homeowner’s Association.”

Meanwhile, traditional Christianity maintains that Jesus is fully God and fully man, the eternal Son of God, who came to die for our sins, so we could be reconciled to God and enjoy eternal life. No weird promotion schemes here — Jesus saved us. Simple, beautiful, and 100% divinely orthodox. Nothing to add or subtract from that.

Wade Cox: "christ" to return in 2028 with City of God arriving in 3128


No one has ever said that Wade Cox is the brightest bulb in the pack when it comes to theology and prophecy. He and Bob Thiel must have studied at the same double-wide trailer in India for their so-called prophetic understanding.

He makes these claims:


5 BCE

Christ born

27 CE 

Jubilee with John the Baptist and Messiah.

30 CE 

Crucifixion

1996

End of the 2000 years and

 

End of the Time of the Gentiles.


*****************

1967-1996

 

Thirty Years Mourning for Aaron and the Reclamation of Jerusalem. End of the 2300 evenings and mornings.

1997-2027

Thirty years of the wars of the end. Corresponds to the month of the mourning for Moses and signifies the removal of the Princes, Priests and prophets of this age. End of the Sign of Jonah.

2028

Possible Advent of Messiah and subjugation of the planet.

2027/8 Jubilee

Fortieth Jubilee since ministry of Messiah.


*****************

2028

Thousand years of the Millennium begins under Messiah.

3013-3027

Satan released. Wars of the Camp of the Saints (Rev. 20:7-9).


*****************

3028-3128

Second Resurrection of the Dead and 100-year judgment.


*****************

3128

City of God

I can guarantee with assurance that this is just one more Church of God liar trying to deceive people with nonsense. 

Even more blithering nonsense:

4005/4 BCE

Creation

1005 BCE

David enters Jerusalem and the control passes to the kingship in Judah. Halfway through the era of the creation and nations.

5 BCE

Messiah born. The Exilarchs are removed from rulership prior to this event. Messiah is in effect the prince of Judah over the period to 30 CE. 

27CE Jubilee 

Acceptable year of the Lord. 4000 years of the closure of Eden.

30 CE

Messiah hailed as king and executed. Forty Jubilees in the wilderness begins under the Sign of Jonah. 

1996 

6000th anniversary of the creation.

3000th anniversary of David’s entry to Jerusalem.

2000th anniversary of the Messiah’s birth.

1997

Beginning of the transition of the age and the destruction of its existing order.

2024-2028

Period of the Witnesses and the 

Advent of the King-Messiah at Jerusalem.

2027 

Jubilee of the end of the age.

2028 

Millennial rule from Jerusalem


 

And more asshattery:

73 CE

Fall of Judea and the Masada

77 CE

Jubilee

1977

Thirty-ninth Jubilee of the Sign of Jonah.

1997

End of the Time of the Gentiles (cf. Table 6). Beginning of the Month of YearsThe  Mourning for Mosesthe Removal of the Princes, Priests and Prophets (cf. Measuring the Temple (No. 137)) and the Destruction of the Last Days (cf. Tables 7; 11-12).

1998

Reading of the Law in the twenty-first year of the fortieth Jubilee.

2020

The first year of the last seven-year cycle of the Sign of Jonah. The nations or Gentiles were given forty Jubilees on a Jubilee for a year basis to Judah and a Jubilee for a day basis for Nineveh. 

 

2027/28

2028

The fortieth Jubilee of the Sign of Jonah. 

The  Messiah commences destruction of the nations that do not repent.

Every rule and every authority and every religious system of this world or of this age is destroyed.

 

*******

*****************

2028

The millennial system commences under the Law of God.

 

And more steaming piles of bullshit:

2012 Thirty-fifth year of the fortieth Jubilee. Sabbath year and end of the Mayan Calendar and the Sun system.

The Whore is gradually destroyed by the Beast and finally by the advent of the Messiah after the period of the two Witnesses, perhaps by 2024-2028.

 

2024-2025 is the probable last time for the two Witnesses to be in place in Jerusalem. Droughts of the two Witnesses commence.

2028 Probable last date for the return of the Messiah and the subjugation of the planet given the 2028 commencement for the millennial. 

 

Kings of the East called down to Jerusalem and destroyed.

 

2025  Perhaps less than 500 million people left alive on the planet.

2025/26  Treble Harvest year for the Jubilee

2026/27 Sabbath Year

2027    End Day 6

2027/2028  Fortieth Jubilee since Messiah and Forty-ninth since the second Temple and Ezra/Nehemiah.

2028  Beginning of the Jubilee of Jubilees from 1 Abib. The fiftieth Jubilee since the construction of the Temple and the restoration of the Temple and the Law under Ezra and Nehemiah

 

The one-thousand-year millennial reign of Jesus Christ begins. The planet is run in peace and prosperity according to God’s Laws for 1000 years.

3028 Satan is released and the last war of the end begins.

3028 The General Resurrection of the Dead

The 100-year Judgment.

3127 The City of God is complete and the Universe is structured anew.
