Roy Holladay (UCG) Compares His Dread of Baling Hay to the Dread Jesus Felt Before He Was Crucified

Can Roy Holladay of the United Church of God really be this stupid?  He has written a letter to the ministry of UCG to help them prepare for their upcoming version of "Passover."  He starts the letter off by writing about growing up as a youth and the dread he felt when he saw hay fields mown and raked ready for baling hay.  It was hot and sweaty.  He was covered by the prickly chaff blowing back at him from the hay baler.  The bales of hay were wrapped in oily wire.  It was nasty work, but some one had to to do it.  He fully submitted himself to the task. The relief of the day was jumping in the local stream and washing all of that mess off.

We have all faced a task or obligation that we did not look forward to doing, but that had long-lasting benefits. Allow me to relate an example from my youth: I grew up on a farm and over time helped bale many thousands of bales of hay while riding on the back of an old punch and tie baler. In those days, when you saw that a field of hay had been cut and raked, you knew exactly what was soon coming.
 
Of course, the summer season working temperature would be in the 90s Fahrenheit (32 Celsius), the wires that held the bales together had a lot of sticky grease or oil on them, the baler would kick up dust and debris from the hay and field, and naturally, all of this would get into your eyes and down your shirt.

Now, after baling the hay, you had to load it on a truck and stack it in the barn loft. This represented an all-day job. At night, you could not wait to take a bath. Back then, the only problem was that we did not have indoor plumbing! Consequently, the fastest way to clean up would be to jump in the nearby creek or stream with a bar of soap. As you can imagine, a certain amount of dread crept up when we could see a hay field being cut–we knew what that meant for us.

Ok, I can identify with all of that since I grew up baling hay and straw for many years.  However, he continues with this where he describes the dread Jesus felt before he knew he was being crucified:

Why mention this? Hold that thought for moment.

We will shortly be observing the Passover, which pictures the sacrifice of Jesus Christ for all humanity. Revelation 13:8 clearly states that Jesus (the Lamb of God) was slain from the foundation of the world. Did God understand in advance that it was conceivable for the angels and for humans to sin? Yes, He did! He made room for this possibility in His plan from the very beginning. Notice what Peter adds to our understanding about this in 1 Peter 1:18-20: “knowing that you were not redeemed with corruptible things, like silver or gold, from your aimless conduct received by tradition from your fathers, but with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot. He indeed was foreordained before the foundation of the world, but was manifest in these last times for you…”

Jesus knew what Isaiah 52 and 53 stated: He was going to suffer. With full understanding of what lay ahead in the coming hours, He naturally dreaded enduring that agonizing pain and suffering. But even knowing this in advance, He fully submitted Himself to God’s will. Even though He was not anxious to undergo excruciating pain, He knew there was an eternal purpose for it. As we read in Isaiah 53, verses 4 and 5: “Surely He has borne our griefs [sickness] And carried our sorrows [pains]…But He was wounded for our transgressions [for our sins], He was bruised for our iniquities; The chastisement for our peace was upon Him, And by His stripes we are healed.”

According to Holladay, the dread that Jesus felt for his upcoming crucifixion could have lasted for millions of years.

From the beginning, Jesus Christ knew that He would be tortured and executed by the very humans that He created! From the beginning of the physical universe, possibly many millions of years ago, Jesus (then The Word) knew full well what lay ahead of Him and all that it meant.

Somehow Holladay's "hay dread" does not compare to the same dread Jesus had the day before he was crucified and he was sitting down to eat with his disciples.

Bob Thiel: I'm Coming To You From...duh....uh..where the hell am I....oh yeah.......the Mount of Olives

Bob Thiel, God's most important Church of God leader to ever exist (after Rod Meredith and David C. Pack of course) trotted off to Jerusalem to claim his standing as a prophet of God preaching from the Mount of Olives.  Thiel stood here for an hour and ten minutes blabbering on about silly Armstrongite prophecy predictions.

Thiel joins hundreds of other COG leaders and Evangelical prophecy nuts using this same scene to bring their "correct"message to the world.  Or, in Bob's case to a few hundred people.

This is another pathetic video with flailing arms, blowing wind, and even a crooked skyline.  Is there anything straight about this guy?  The great addition this time is that he struggling with his voice.

Around 19 minutes in he talks about how the FCC and Net Neutrality will cause his message to go off the air starting the famine of the word.  As if this will ever happen, particularity to his "ministry."

Living Church of God Places Dissident Ministers Into Positions of Authority Over Members

Living Church of God has been facing a lot of criticism lately among its rank and file members about how LCG worked behind the scenes with Peter Nathan, Steve Elliot and others after they deliberately went against "God's Government" to start their own splinter group of a splinter.  Then to compound the problem, they immediately began conspiring to jump ship from their newly formed group into Living Church of God.

Because Nathan conned the churches he was over in Kenya and elsewhere to jump ship with him, these people are now being added to LCG's membership and tithing rolls. That's what it all is really about.

With no time allowed to vet these men as to where they truly stand, they were given positions of leadership in the LCG without blinking an eye.

Peter Nathan is now going to be teaching at Living Church of God's "University."  Would you as a parent want your child to be taught by a man who has proven to have no loyalty to any of the groups he was with in the past?  His theology has been totally different than LCG's in some areas.  If the Church is all about "proper government" then these men have failed miserably!  Why does it take someone from OUTSIDE the organization to see that?

Steve Elliot has now been placed over the Southern California LCG churches.  It is no wonder many in Southern CA are NOT happy about this situation.  LCG HQ doesn't obviously doesn't care.
