Crackpot Prophet On Immoral Vain Women With Braided Hair, Who Preach While Wearing Gold, Silver, and Pearls

 

Oh, behold! God's all-time favorite prophet, the ultimate divine spokesperson for the Church of God and all of humanity, has twisted his holistic knickers into a full-on spiritual pretzel over the ladies. Whether it's those scandalous "hoochie mama" cheerleaders shaking their pom-poms at football games or those downright wicked women preachers daring to braid their hair and—gasp!—dangle some jewelry, this guy has the ultimate blueprint on how the fairer sex should behave. Because nothing says "holy wisdom" like micromanaging hairstyles and accessories!

But hey, since women outnumber men in the Church of God like cats outnumber dogs in a meme factory, he'd better zip those lips before he preaches himself into a corner. Naturally, this holy tirade is strictly for Western women—his African flock gets a free pass because, you know, traditions are like passports: they let you skip the judgment line.

And let's not forget the glorious track record of these COG dudes who can't stop yapping about women: turns out, a bunch of them were living their best hypocritical lives, sneaking around on the down low like ninjas in a confessional. 

Hypocrisy level: expert!

1 Timothy 1-2: God Wants All Saved, Be Modest
This is the first part of an expected 3-part series covering each and every verse of the Apostle Paul’s first epistle to Timothy. In this sermon, Dr. Thiel cover the first two chapters of Paul’s letter. Paul reminds Timothy of his own role, warns him not to follow fables, and mentions that the purpose of the commandments is love. Dr. Thiel discusses commandments vs. traditions of men, sin, grace, salvation, idolatry, prophecy, prayer for political leaders, why God only calls some now, the pagan-connections of having Mary as a Mediatrix, modesty, and immoral women. He spends a lot of time reading the Radio Church of God position on whether or not women can braid their hair or wear jewelry. He quotes passages in the Old Testament showing that jewelry, of itself, can be worn. He explains that wearing (or not wearing) things for show is wrong and vanity. Gold, silver, rings, and pearls are discussed. The Apostle Paul’s teaching about women preaching is also discussed.

Philadelphia Church of God and Their Mystery of the Ages Con Job

 

For some insane reason, the Philadelphia Church of God is going into overdrive lately to promote the most useless book the church has ever published, Mystery of the Ages. 

Gerald Flurry makes this absurd claim:

Mr. Armstrong said, “I feel I myself did not write it. Rather, I believe God used me in writing it.” Those are inspiring and frightening words. If they are true, then those words flowed right out of the mind of the living, all-powerful God! Anybody who reads and studies Mystery of the Ages would surely have to agree.

Mystery of the Ages sums up God’s Work through Mr. Armstrong. Surely Christ must have personally directed and inspired such a critical, end-time message.

This kind of nonsense is reminiscent of the Mormons, who claim their Book of Mormon is a "new" testament that sits alongside the Bible. Both are needed to understand the Bible. Without either of these books being used, believers are too dumb to understand the Bible. Enlightenment and truth only come from Herbert Armstrong or Joseph Smith.

Both cults also make the same claim that Gerald Flurry makes:

I believe our greatest shame today would be rejecting that book!

Flurry goes on to claim that the most important thing the PCG can do today is to get MOA in the hands of as many as possible. Forget that inconvenient dude called Jesus and anything taught and accomplished with his death and resurrection! He is just some wimpy Israelite that stands in the way of the greatest truth teller to live, even greater than Bob Thiel, Herbert W Armstrong.

Mr. Armstrong wanted it to reach “the largest audience possible.” If you comprehend the message of that book, this has to be God’s desire also.We must let God use us to get this book to “the largest audience possible.”

I believe “the largest audience possible” should become our battle cry today! Now is the great moment for God’s Philadelphians. This is our most critical hour. We must pick up the dropped baton and finish the gun lap! We must stretch and strain to win the greatest race we will ever run!

This must be God’s supreme goal for His Philadelphian elect today. He inspired those words, “the largest audience possible.” That expression came from God’s own mind! You can see that clearly if you truly understand Mystery of the Ages. We must not fail God. So much hangs in the balance—even reaching into the universe and living for all eternity.

Then, Gerald Flurry, not to be outdone by Herbert Armstrong and Bob Thiel, has to promote his own writings as equally important to understand the Bible with:

My book Malachi’s Message was mainly revealed for Church members and those familiar with what Mr. Armstrong taught. So you can see how, suddenly, we now have a message for billions of people, not just a few hundred thousand!

Our work now is to get a final warning trumpet blast to every person on this planet, which is plunging headlong to its death! It will take a supreme effort from each member of the very elect to achieve God’s goal for us.

If God’s message is to be thundered around the world during the Laodicean era, the Philadelphia Church of God must do it! Nobody else will!

If we do, exciting and majestic miracles will accompany this work and your individual life. Remember, God says, “I am with you always.” The harder we work, the more powerful are God’s miracles. 

If Christ personally dictated to Herbert Armstrong, Joseph Smith, and Gerald Flurry everything they have all written, why have each of them or their church edited words out and added their own words to these sacred texts, completely changing the meaning of the original texts?

No one, and I mean absolutely NO ONE, needs to read any of these three books. None of them contains anything necessary for salvation. None of them can save you or create a relationship with Jesus that normal Christians understand.

Flurry ends with this complete nonsense:

In the midst of the Earth’s greatest suffering, we get to announce the return of Jesus Christ. If we properly do our job, our reward will dazzle God’s Family for all eternity!

The greatest single gift we can give to the world is Mystery of the Ages. Let’s think and work like God and give it to “the largest audience possible”! 

 

The Wickedness of the Philadelphia Church Of God Continues As They Destroy Another Family

 

UPDATED: This was sent in today by a father with children brainwashed by Gerald Flurry and his minions:

I HAVE BEEN PREVENTED FROM SEEING MY CHILDREN IN OVER 12 YEARS

I have a son, Nathan Moffett of Edmond OK. And a daughter Elise Salinas of San Antonio Tx. That have been prevented from contacting me in over 12 years. Elise has a son and a daughter that I have never seen.

WHY have they been prevented from contacting me all these years?
 

Because of a narcissistic, false prophet, tyrannical leader of the church they attend.
Because I am no longer a part of the church, they are forbidden from talking to me. They can’t even text me. 

 

They are told if they do, THEY WILL BE CAST INTO THE LAKE OF FIRE!.

MANY families have been destroyed, and members have even committed suicide because of this evil “no contact” ruling.

The group is THE PHILADELPHIA CHURCH OF GOD of Edmond Oklahoma.

The EVIL leader is Gerald Flurry.

Flurry calls himself, “that prophet”, along with many other titles including KING OF BRITAIN.
He has made MANY false prophecies over the years. He says he has the “final message to deliver to Christ”. By calling himself That Prophet, he puts himself in the place of Christ. Christ who IS That Prophet.

I urge you to have nothing to do with this cult “church”.

If you do you are complicit in the breakup of families and the suicide of members.

If you know my children, TELL THEM I LOVE THEM and would like to hear from them again. I forgive them and am here if they need me.

A follow up:

I sent this to my children..... Do you know that when you turned your back on me. 

 

When you chose to follow the man that calls himself whatever he calls himself. Rather than follow God, You turned your back on your mother, your grandmother, your grandfather, your great grandmother and great-grandfather all the way back. 

 

I am your father. The result of all those generations that caused you to be here. 

 

You chose a stranger over generations of family. 

 

You chose a narcissistic false prophet, at that.

I pray you will wake up and see how wrong you have been. I hope you wake up, repent and put God and family first in your life.
