Our galaxy is just one out of billions
Prophet Thiel, the official spokesperson for Living Church of God has this to say about current research that tells of billions of inhabitable planets.
What might be the purpose of all the planets in the universe?
Notice the following passage from Hebrews:
6 But one testified in a certain place, saying: “What is
man that You are mindful of him, Or the son of man that You take care
of him? 7 You have made him a little lower than the angels; You have
crowned him with glory and honor, And set him over the works of Your
hands. 8 You have put all things in subjection under his feet.”
For in that He put all in subjection under him, He left nothing that
is not put under him. But now we do not yet see all things put under
him. 9 But we see Jesus, who was made a little lower than the angels,
for the suffering of death crowned with glory and honor, that He, by the
grace of God, might taste death for everyone.
10 For it was fitting for Him, for whom are all things and by whom
are all things, in bringing many sons to glory, to make the captain of
their salvation perfect through sufferings. (Hebrews 2:6-10)
So, the entire universe was made for humankind, but is not yet under
human subjection, but will be first under Jesus. And then, later under
humankind.
So, resurrected humans will at some time rule all the planets of the universe.
From those scriptures the Prophet deduces that you will be given a planet. Wait, not YOU specifically, since most of you are heretics, but TRUE COG members down through the centuries.
Lest you fail to see that TRUE COG members will be ruling planets the Prophet adds this as further proof:
33 And He will reign over the house of Jacob forever, and of His kingdom there will be no end. (Luke 1:33)
6 For unto us a Child is born, Unto us a Son is given; And the
government will be upon His shoulder. And His name will be called
Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. 7
Of the increase of His government and peace There will be no
end…(Isaiah 9:6-7)
Given Prophet Thiel's
well thought out logic, I wonder if he considered the following, since he takes all scripture as literal.
Since scripture says there will be neither male nor female in the kingdom, how does he predict all these billions of galaxies will be inhabited? Who is going to be produce all those kids? Neither male nor female.....hum.
IF, and IF, we are being sent to rule over our own planet, will the familial structure be broken up? What about your wife and her family? Is she doomed to be separated from them because they have their own planet? With whom does Scruffy the dog go with when he is resurrected? Will your kids be sent off to planets billions of miles away to rule over their own world? Where will those inhabitants come from?
If, as LCG and other COG claim, the Temple of God will be established again in Jerusalem with its sacrifices in praise of God, how will the city accommodate hundreds of billions of people flocking to it on specific days? Even if one designated male from each of the billions of planets flew down to Jerusalem there still is too many people. All those burning sacrifices from that many people would burn the City and Temple up!
Logic never seems to enter the picture in COG thought.
