Deep Theological Question: Which Prophet Is Correct?

 

A reader asks:

Gentlemen --

Today Thiel points out several times when Flurry was wrong in his Trump Predictions.  This presents us with an interesting situation and the question "If one Lying Prophet accuses another Lying Prophet of lying, is the first Lying Prophet telling the truth?"

Best wishes,

Philadelphia Church of God Video On New Archeology Exhibit

It is a shame that a splinter group that is considered one of the more dangerous and spiritually damaging Church of God's, ends up producing such slick propaganda works that have the potential to draw in new members. However, the track record shows this does not happen. All of the opening slick dramatization and entertaining music goes out the window once Gerald Flurry opens his mouth. 

James Tabor had this to say on the Ambassador Alumni site:

"This was just released today, the Exhibit opened on Sunday…really impressive. I have to admit, my heart was strangely moved, thinking back to our days of old—1968—Six Day War and the beginnings of the dig. I taught the first group of AC students going over in 1969, a crash course in Modern Hebrew! I hope you will watch it…love to hear if your heart strings were struck…especially by the music.

I hasten to add that the “flurry” of feelings I feel have nothing to do with Gerald Flurry…to use a bad pun…and all his foolish declarations over the years of his own Prophetic role, sitting on David’s throne and all the rest. My sense came rather from thinking back to the days of the DIG…and now things “felt” after the Six Day War in those amazing times...Gerald and I were classmates together, in the same classes, from 1968-1970...though we were not close friends. So the emotions I feel are tainted with a saddness for the ways he has both reflected some of Mr. Armstrong's vision for these efforts in Jerusalem, but also so drastially attached them to his own personal vision of himself--like so many of the self-declared "successors" of the movement..."

LCG: Why are its leaders and members so contentious, haughty, connceited, and not of the same mind?

 

Another day in COGland and we find its members once again being told they can't do anything right. All the things Winnail accuses members of are exactly what the leadership did when they rebelled against the Mother church and against the Global Church of God. Haughtiness, ambition, power, and the contentious attitudes of its leadership still prevent the church from being of one mind.

Keys for Working Together: Jesus referred to His disciples as His “friends” and He encouraged them to “love one another” (John 15:12–17). The Apostle Paul referred to those who assisted him in the ministry as “my fellow workers” (Romans 16:3). He also referred to members of God’s Church as “God’s fellow workers” (1 Corinthians 3:9), and “workers together with Him” (2 Corinthians 6:1). These are exciting opportunities that carry an important responsibility. The Scriptures give us guidelines about how to work together. We are urged not to let contentions divide us, but to “be perfectly joined together in the same mind” (1 Corinthians 1:10–13). We are also advised to avoid being haughty and conceited or ambitious for a position, but to be humble and strive to work together peacefully (Romans 12:16–18). James said we can avoid divisions by being gentle, teachable, and easily entreated (James 3:13–18). As we learn to “love one another” and treat each other as “friends” we will be more effective “fellow workers” for the Kingdom of God.
Have a profitable Sabbath,

Crackpot Prophet Says It Is Not Safe To Reject A True Prophet Of God And Those That Do So Are Lazy

  

The world's GREATEST and most ACCURATE prophet to ever self-appoint himself in the history of humanity had a tizzy fit today over Gerald Flurry's latest crap on Donald Trump. Flurry has for years been making all kinds of predictions about Trump that have never come to pass. In like manner, so as has our most highly favored second son of God, the Great Bwana of Africa and 100 occasional Caucasians, who is destined to reign on the right-hand side of Christ at some future date. Both have ended up being certified liars.

After blabbering for quite some time, the Great Bwana Bob Mzungu Thiel had this to say for all of you pathetic losers who still  REFUSE to acknowledge him as a real true prophet of God. Bad Laodiceans! Bad LAZY Laodiceans! Bad! Bad! Bad!

"Now, most end-time Christians do not believe that they are lazy, but wise."

Sitting in his damp musty office while still playing the suffering martyr for the truth, the Great Bwana Bob shows his anger once again:

While Christians should heed true prophets and not despise prophecies (1 Thessalonians 5:20, PCG’s Gerald Flurry has again been proven to have spoken presumptuously. 

 

He and PCG remain wrong in their view of Amos 7 and many other matters. 

 

Those who have enough of “the love of the truth” (2 Thessalonians 2:10) should clearly be able to see that Gerald Flurry is NOT God’s prophet, but a false one. 

 

People associated with PCG should believe the Bible about false prophets as Gerald Flurry has clearly made false predictions. 

 

And even if Donald Trump becomes USA president again, Gerald Flurry has been proven false about his predictions about Amos 7. 

 

TWO WRONGS DO NOT MAKE A RIGHT! 

 

The existence of false prophets does NOT excuse not supporting a real one. 

 

Consider that the Book of Proverbs warns:

16 The lazy man is wiser in his own eyes Than seven men who can answer sensibly. (Proverbs 26:16) 

 

Now, most end time Christians do not believe that they are lazy, but wise. 

 

Yet, they overlook evidence because they are uncomfortable with the idea that there could now be a prophet that they should heed. 

 

It is NOT safer to reject a true prophet because there are many false ones.

Oh, Great Bwana Bob Mzungu - you are NOT a true prophet of God. You have never been one and never will be one. You are as big of a liar as Gerald Flurry is.
