When Is An Apostle Not A Prophet?

Eric King:  HWA's failed prophecies were actually speculative predictions. Therefore, he cannot be held accountable.

What we must remember is the fact that God did not call Mr. H.W.Armstrong to be a “prophet”, God called Mr. H.W.Armstrong to be an APOSTLE. It is true that Mr. H.W.Armstrong longed for the appearing of his Savior, Jesus Christ. The apostle Paul during the New Testament era felt that he too might see the return of Christ Jesus in his day. Apostle Paul wrote in terms of disciples “longing for His appearing”. This is something that all true Christians do. So we must understand that what Mr. H.W.Armstrong spoke about regarding these types of issues should more appropriately be called “predictions” and NOT prophecies. Speculation is not a sin.

Is Eric King An Easy Target For "Cheeseheads?"

The thin-skinned Malmites are getting really perturbed that we continue to make fun of them.  One of them had this to say about us. 

WARNING! There are swear words below for those too delicate to read further:

Those BLOGGERs that make fun of Eric and COGSR ministries would never try to talk the shit they do about Muslims. They are little shits that would run. COGSR is an easy target for the cheesy Christian haters.

God Invented Smart Phones Specifically For Bob Thiel To Get His Message Out To Africa

Years ago the Worldwide Church of God made the claim that the printing press had been invented so that Herbert Armstrong could print the "gospel" message for all the world to see.  Then when Herbert Armstrong got restless after the death of his wife and needed to fly around the world, the church claimed that jet planes had been invented so that he could travel to all the nations on earth to deliver the "gospel", or in COG speak, "A Strong Hand From Someplace."  Then, computers came on the scene and the church bought one of the largest IBM mainframes ever built.  Computers too, were created for the express use of the Church of God. Remember that God had to invent the computer in order to keep track of members tithing amounts.

Now we transition to the 21st century and Bob Thiel, god's greatest gift to humanity and the Mayans, says that smart phones have been invented to get the final message out to all of Africa and the rest of the world.

A Door That is in the Process of Opening Even Further

Although at this time, relatively few in Kenya and Tanzania have direct access to the internet without going to an internet café (which few can afford), I noticed that nearly all had cellular telephones.

Once “smart phones” become popular in Kenya (I had not noticed any while there), we should be able to reach many, many more than we have been able to over the internet.  Our plans for the internet and congregations should be ready by the time many of those in East Africa will have additional abilities to access them.  This “door” is opened for Philadelphians (Revelation 3:7-8) to proclaim the gospel (cf. Acts 14:28, 1 Corinthians 16:9; 2 Corinthians 2:12) of the kingdom (Matthew 24:14) is being opened more for us and we expect to go through it to reach even more.  Please pray that God will more fully open this door for us (cf. Colossians 4:3). The Final Phase of the Work

Bob Thiel: I Have Been Betrayed Just Like Herbert Armstrong and Jesus - Therefore That Makes Me A True Prophet

In yet another proof that Bob Thiel is a false prophet, he has placed himself on equal footing with Jesus.  Thiel has been betrayed just like Jesus was, but more importantly, just like Herbert Armstrong was!  The world is full of big bad meanies and Bob's delicate little soul can't take the humiliation.

 The Bible shows that the Jewish religious leaders somewhat knew about Jesus (cf. John 3:1-2), yet betrayed Him (Matthew 27:18).

 Sadly, although various LCG evangelists knew/suspected my role, in their own manners, they all betrayed me.

Notice something that Herbert Armstrong wrote:

PERSECUTORS HAVE CALLED me a "false prophet." Now how would you KNOW whether the accusation IS true-or false?...

Actually, it probably is not very important to you to know whether my persecutors are right or wrong, when they call me dirty names, hurl epithets, resort to innuendo, impute sinister motives, strive to discredit, attempt character assassination. What is important to YOU is whether what you read in The PLAIN TRUTH really is the truth-whether what you hear over The

WORLD TOMORROW broadcast is true-not whether I, as an individual, am true or false.

I think our readers know by now that we always say: "DON' T believe what we say because you believe in us." We say " Listen with open mind, without prejudice, then CHECK UP in your own Bible-prove whether it is true, and BELIEVE what you find proved! " I don't seek to induce people to believe in ME-I seek to lead them to believe in JESUS CHRIST!

As far as accepting what I write, I only expect people to believe me as I teach matters consistent with the Bible and facts. Don’t simply believe me, believe the truths preached that are backed up by the Bible and/or historical or other facts. Page 93
