Never has the Church of God had such a self-absorbed self-appointed prophet than we have in Bob Thiel. In his mind, he imagines what he says as the most important things necessary for people's salvation and so radical that the Chinese and others will hate him so much they will create animations to make him say things he never did.
As if China or some other government would find Bob to be feared so much that they would seek to imitate him! Can he be that mentally ill and so self-absorbed?
One reader here writes:
Bob lives in fear that there is security camera footage, or closed circuit video, of him engaged in some activity that is incompatible with being a Prophet and Overseer of a Church of God. You and I, not being narcissists, would relax and assume that the video was overwritten a week after it was taped. Bob, however, lives in a fearful fantasy world where someone who knows about Bob's importance will find and release the video to discredit him, so Bob is busy preparing his followers to discount what they might see.

With modern technology, highly persuasive deceit is possible–and to a degree impossible in Paul’s day. But he warned to Christians to have assurance in true teachers.
The Apostle Paul also taught:
21 Prove all things; hold fast that which is good. (1 Thessalonians 5:21, KJV)
Once you have proven the truth, you need to hold fast to it so you will not be deceived like others.
Or tossed to and fro by every wind purporting to be true, “that we should no longer be children, tossed to and fro and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the trickery of men, in the cunning craftiness of deceitful plotting” (Ephesians 4:14, NKJV).
Many post and say things that are not true about the CCOG.
In addition to not believing lies being posted against the truth and church leadership happening now, more deceit is coming. …
Yes, computer technology and artificial intelligence can make very convincing fakes.
More deep fakes are coming. Some will be used for purpose of deceit and character assassination.
I expect that the time will come when deepfake technolgy will be used to make it seem like I, and others in the CCOG, say and/or do things, that we did not say or do.
