Musings: The Problem With Faith

The Problem With Faith: 11 Ways Religion Is Destroying Humanity

http://churchandstate.org.uk/2015/10/the-problem-with-faith-11-ways-religion-is-destroying-humanity/

NOTE: I have posted only part of each point to keep the post short enough to maintain interest. The article adds much more to each concept for those so inclined.

======================

"Religion has been a part of humanity since the first astronomers peered into the sky and created elaborate stories to define the movements of our universe. It made its way into our minds as we fearfully created devils and demons to explain the danger lurking in the darkness of night. It has both enchanted and burdened us as we attempt to define our world with the information available to us as we work our way through history.

However, things are quickly changing. For a growing number of us worldwide, what was once indescribable is now easily explained by the vast data we have gathered as we work towards refining our understanding. We are becoming painfully aware that, although our religions gave us a starting place for thinking about how our world functions, they no longer serve us in that process; and in fact, have left a trail of destruction in their historic path.

1.) The assumption of truth.

Most of our world’s major religions each assume that it is their faith alone that is the “absolute truth” and refuse to concede that those traditions may be mistaken. Instead, they discover ways to force conflicting information to adapt to their own doctrine; no matter how effective the evidence is at actually disproving the rationality of that particular religion.

Many religious adherents have no problem understanding the irrationality of others beliefs, but are unable to apply the same logic when observing their own doctrine. Instead, every effort is made to justify why it is their – and only their – religion that is void of any fault...

2.) The promise of reward.

The faith of many followers hinges on the idea that there is some reward for devotion to their deity. For the Islamic gentleman, it is a promise of virgins after death. For the Christian, it is a perfect place of infinite peace and comfort. For Hindus, it is escaping the grueling task of reincarnation; and for the Buddhist it is reaching Nirvana. 

How many of these same enthusiasts would subscribe to their religion if there were not a reward for their commitment? Without a reward, the faith does not carry the same power to control its congregate. There must be a conclusion to every religious story – a reason for carrying the belief to its completion.

It’s not difficult to understand why this is necessary for the ongoing functioning of a religion. Human beings are rarely motivated to commit to anything without a reward for their commitment...

3.) The superiority complex.

Religion enables people to act callously and inflict mental punishment on those they label “evil” without consequence to their hatred; and then permits them to honestly believe that their hatred is defensible as “good moral conduct”.

4.) The usefulness of control.

Most religious supporters are not mindful of the fear that has been instilled in them, often from birth. It is a fear that is so subtle that it goes undetected for much of the follower’s life. It is so deeply embedded that it is not even recognized as fear, but as truth; when in reality, it is a most destructive form of control.

5.) The distraction of division.

As most propagandists understand, by separating individuals from their peers, they are usually able to think more clearly and logically about the information being presented to them. However, when consistently surrounded by their peers, if they are not cautious, they may likely fall prey to being persuaded into believing a “truth” that is not true at all. Religion depends on this human herd mentality in order to maintain its stronghold. When you keep a person within a specific religion, reinforce the ideas of that group and then make everyone else outside of the group somehow immoral, maintaining control of hatred towards others is effortless. The best way to do this is by teaching followers the religion’s concepts from birth; and then reinforcing those ideas throughout the entirety of their life.

6.) The threat of theocracy.

Many individuals who support religious leaders and concepts do not realize the impact that a theocracy will have on their own lives and freedoms. Some people simply follow certain political and religious leaders and trust that they have their best interest in mind; but, in reality, the agenda they support will both further corrupt and further oppress their own country and its people.

7.) The illusion of love.

Is it? There may be some parts that describe love and encourage positive relationships amongst members of the human race; but, what about all the other parts? Are we to ignore some things and only identify with the good?

Here is the problem: Many of our most revered religious texts have hundreds of verses where the deity of the story literally instructs people to abduct and rape young girls whose family members they have just murdered, kill disobedient children, kill disobedient women, commit genocide and infanticide, subdue and silence women, commit incest, oppress mass communities, force marriage on rape victims, torture people, enslave people and loot and pillage entire societies. All by the instruction of or in the name of their god.

Here is the bigger problem: It’s one thing that these words are written, but it is a terrifying thought that many people in this world actually excuse this behavior simply because a god they worship did it or authorized it.

8.) Justification for inequality.

A simple and honest study of our world’s theocracies (and countries such as America where those issues are being debated) reveals how our holy texts are used to discriminate against women, LGBTs, and foreigners. Our top three world religions’ texts are full of discrimination against these groups. In fact, it is openly used as justification for that discrimination.

Religion facilitates erroneous rationalization of the attempts to remove basic rights from others. It prevents people from living in peace as a community and within their own lives. It forces entire groups of people to work tirelessly to create and preserve rights that should be available to them already.

9.) The subjugation of advancement.

We are moving towards a time where we no longer need to base our ideas on things that we cannot see or explain (faith). We can explain much more than ever and our ability to explain our world is expanding rapidly.

Now that science can explain our world, we no longer need mythology to do it for us.

We have a plethora of information available to us today. Information that enables us to become aware of the origins of our religions, the origins and functionings of our planet and of our universe. We understand how weather works and that it is not simply the anger of our gods being poured upon us as our early ancestors believed. We can interpret weather patterns, send people into space, and predict future atmospheric, economic, planetary and biological disruptions and much much more.

Unfortunately, religion has never been much a friend to human knowledge and advancement. Even now we are plagued by leaders who seek to oppress our access to and progression of our knowledge. Religion is known for insisting that it is not humankind’s place to understand things – to seek knowledge of our world. In fact, it makes seeking that understanding wrong and it’s not difficult to find followers who will even quote text supporting why we should not explore our world, ask questions and look for answers.

This is a religious tactic that keeps people in ignorance; and it has worked for thousands of years.

10.) The fear of “end times”.

For thousands of years, religion has used the fear of “end times” to control the masses. What began as mythology that told gruesome stories of a horrific end to our world has evolved into periodic religious mania over an impending doom lurking above the future of humanity.

Fortunately, we have grown enough in our understanding to realize that prophesies of war, famine, atmospheric disruptions, pandemics and expulsion of redundant belief structures are effortless formulations when one comprehends that these occurrences have been and will remain a repetitive element of the human experience. In other words – it is not difficult to predict the future when you understand how human beings think and how nature functions. Anyone who understands the natural world and the mind of human beings can make a fairly accurate prediction of what will occur 10, 20, 100 or even 5,000 years from now. History does repeat itself. Nature repeats itself. This is the cyclical part of life – when you understand the cycle, you are never shocked by the result.

The problem is, we are still living amongst an assortment of end times theories and religious fables that insist we are living in that time

11.) The oppression of terror.

It would be easy for some to look at the violence in religion today and point fingers at one specific religion. The propagandist that dominate many of our mainstream news outlets ensure this. But, the truth is, many of our religions have already asserted themselves through force and violence in the past. This is not merely a modern problem."

Humanity’s most vicious ambitions have been carried out in the name of gods no one has ever seen and beliefs followers are not willing to question and investigate. Until humankind learns to more closely examine their beliefs, wars waged in ignorance will continue to plague our species and prevent lasting peace.

Error Prone Biased False Prophet Says AI Is As Error Prone As He is

In yet another attempt to not have to discuss Jesus or anything he accomplished our favorite error-prone false prophet is back complaining how artificial intelligence will deceive many. Yep, you read that right, one of the biggest error-filled liars the church has today is complaining about AI as error-prone. Talk about gaslighting members!

The Great Bwana Bob Mzungu Thiel considers himself so special that he is set apart from ALL present Church of God leaders and all who have preceded him. No one as magnificent as he is has ever been revealed to the church like he is today. There has been no human leader since Abraham walked this earth who is filled with as much worldly knowledge and spiritual insights as we have in the Great Bwana. He considered himself so special that he is incapable of making a mistake or uttering a false word. No church leader has been filled with more spiritual truth than he has. 

Bwana Bob Mzungu believes that since he is so magnificent it means that Satan, the Prince of the power of the air, is going to be so pissed off at him that he is going to use artificial intelligence to deceive people into thinking he, The Bob has uttered certain things.

The Great Bwana Bob Mzungu quotes a fringe conspiracy-laden site that features a quote from Henry Kissinger on Artificial Intelligence:

Henry Kissinger: AI Will Replace Humans within 5 Years
October 29, 2023 

 

Former U.S. Secretary of State Henry Kissinger has declared that artificial intelligence (AI) will replace humans within the next five years. 

 

Kissinger, a member of the globalist World Economic Forum (WEF), asserts that AI dominance will be the “biggest challenge” humans will face. 

 

According to a report published on Insider, Kissinger made the comments during an interview with Mathias Döpfner, CEO of Axel Springer. … 

 

Experts have pointed out that most white-collar jobs are in danger of being replaced by AI.
Workers in sectors such as technology, media, law, and customer service are especially at risk.
100-year-old Kissinger said he believes that AI will become so dominant that humans could end up serving machines. Henry Kissinger: AI Will Replace Humans within 5 Years

In spite of years worth of deceiving Christians with his nonsense, The Bob has preached several so-called sermons about AI. Nothing about Jesus and how people don't need to worry about such worthless crap as Bob's speculations. The Bob's sermons are nothing more than brain dumps of useless information. It never contains anything of spiritual worth for anyone.

Is AI in the Bible?

The Bible refers to a place that was ruined in the Book of Joshua called “Ai.” Are there any parallels to what is known as Artificial Intelligence (AI)? What did Joe Kovacs say about that? Are there any risks to AI, such as those warned about by Elon Musk? Are common AI sources like ChatGPT and Bing AI always reliable? Are there certain passages in the Bible, such as prophecies related to the militaristic Beast and Antichrist in the Book of Revelation, that point to the use of AI in the end times? Is the use of computer software consistent with the prophecies of the 666 Beast power? Does the New Testament have warnings of impostors deceiving? Is it possible that demons and AI will be involved in the end time? Will the nations of this world fight Jesus upon His return? Could AI affect and deceive humans? Dr. Thiel and Steve Dupuie address these matters. 

Bwana Bob Mzungu is one of the deceivers of the brethren that the Bible warns Christians about. Bwana Bob Mzungu is right there beside Dave Pack, Gerald Flurry, Ron Weinland, Gerald Weston, and other COG leaders currently deceiving the brethren. They are imposters trying to portray themselves as agents of light and truth. None of them are doing this, particularly Bwana Bob Mzungu.

 

Ron "Weinerdude" Weinland, The First Witless Witness Abandoning His Europe Fantasy

 

Old Ronnie has always had his sights set upon Europe where imagines he and his loonie wife Laura will spend 3 1/2 years as the Two Witless Witnesses proclaiming some weird nonsense as a "gospel" message to Europe before his angry god comes down and kicks ass. 

Before he was sent to prison for tax evasion, he had his loonie wife fill her fat fingers up with several large carat diamonds rings that they could reportedly cash in once they arrived in Europe to fund their stupid ministry. 

Much like the loser Dave Pack and his inability to make accurate predictions, Weinerdude does not know how things will play out in the future. So, he is planning next years Feast sites back here in the U.S. instead of in Jerusalem where he thought he was going to start his witless witnessing.

So as I was saying earlier, we’re considering for next year planning to have that primary area where I will be located within, somewhere within the United States, not in Europe. So, Europe will be a smaller site this next year, at least according to the planning at this point, and then we’ll go from there. What a blessing if we didn’t have to come together in this partcular manner, but in a greater manner.

But we’ll see what transpired in the following year. Everything is in God’s timing, but looking at world events, seeing what’s happening in the world, just by the Thunders themselves it’s one of the primary signs of those things we have now that God has given to us to recognize this is what we watch more than anything else because these are the things that are happening in the world as they become stronger. Because it has to be of the same nature than as a woman in travail, as it says in scripture, but in labor with a child, getting ready to have birth. Those things go along with what’s taking place with and has been taking place within the Thunders.

It’s an awesome process to watch take place in the world. We’re watching these things, we’re observing these things, and seeing how horrible the world is becoming as it goes through all of this.

Can anyone imagine any of the current crop of crazy COG leaders being one of the two witnesses? What a cruel joke God is playing on the world if any of these fools are ever became such a thing! 

Dave Pack ...we ran through a lotta drills which prepared me to see all kinds of things very quickly because I’m so familiar with the Scriptures.

Drill Them With Blindness

 

David C. Pack is willing to exploit the war in Israel for his own gain. He is willing to take to himself the titles belonging to Jesus Christ. He is willing to threaten brethren in The Restored Church of God with an eternal death penalty for doing what he makes a habit of.

 

He is increased with the Campus goods of horses and ceiled houses, so he has need of nothing. He bleeds the brethren with Common, making merchandise of them. He is unteachable, uncorrectable, ever-learning but never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.

 

David C. Pack surrounds himself with hirelings who care not for the sheep. Headquarters is a nest of vipers and a den of spiritual thieves. The entire organization is a corrupt tree, bringing forth corrupt fruit by corrupting the word of God.

 

David C. Pack’s vain mouth multiplies words without knowledge. He is proud, knowing nothing. Speaking presumptuously, he walks after the imagination of his own foolish heart about visions that are not from the Lord.

 

There is no fear of God before his eyes.

 

This is not a drill.

 

 

During “The Greatest Unending Story! (Part 476)” on October 21, 2023, David C. Pack warmed up the audience with promises of a wild ride.

 

Part 476 – October 21, 2023

@ 00:08 This may be (I don’t think I’ve used this word before) kind of a momentous sermon.

 

Momentous. Kind of.

 

Dave is always excited to present new angles for excusing biblical miscarriages and recycled concepts. 

 

@ 05:22 Now, for eight years, we’ve been doing various drills.

 

@ 05:36 It's been helpful to me, and I've used it in private conversations. But, there are drills we have gone through.

 

Dave is not a proven false prophet. The past ten years have been intentional practice for the big game.

 

@ 06:09 We would come back and look it again. I once called it “trial and error,” but it would it’s almost more of a natural product of doing drills.

 

This must have brought a sigh of relief to field hirelings like Brian Jackson and Larry Cockshutt since they have already long burned through their best buzz phrases to blow off tough questions from concerned members.

 

@ 07:39 So, brethren, in many regards, we ran through a lotta drills. Some of them the same but they would vary slightly. And I can look back now and realize it prepared me to see all kinds of things very quickly because I’m so familiar with the Scriptures.

 

It is too bad he cannot see all kinds of things very accurately. Come on, Dave. Your entire career rests on you accomplishing a singular task, and you cannot get that one tiny little thing right. Have ANYTHING you have said come to pass.

 

But, if David C. Pack were right even once, the entire world would shift on its axis.

 

@ 08:26 So, we're going to look at certain things that we’ve drilled on but never quite seen the way they would apply.

 

This is a fancy way of saying, “This will sound painfully familiar, but don’t worry because I have a slightly different take on old ideas that will pointlessly absorb the sum of your Sabbath and will be irrelevant within seven days.”

 

David soiled himself when a bald eagle circled the Campus for a few minutes. I was disappointed he did not remind brethren that the Giant Eagle supermarket is next door to Headquarters. That was a real point a few years ago.

 

@ 17:42 I should just plant that account in your mind before I tell you why I think that bird came and what I learned in the Scriptures two days before I saw it. And it’s been ten years since I’ve, you know, seen an eagle on Campus.

 

Dave sees his own shadow and knows there will be six more weeks of winter.

 

 

Pastor General David Crowl Pack is not a man of his word. Is that an accusation or observation? Lonnie Hendrix wrote an interesting article for Banned by HWA on that topic.

 

Part 459 – July 15, 2023

@ 1:25:33 And it has struck me from time to time when the Bible seems to pull you toward a particular time (and it does), if you nail that day down, it strikes me as particularly arrogant.

 

Part 474 – October 7, 2023 [The Last Great Day]

@ 1:24:02 So, I don’t know how long we’re gonna go. It’s not my job. I’ve often wondered, Is it my job to explain what the Mystery of God is? There’s nothing that says I foretell a date. I’ve wondered if I should for all the reasons I’ve explained. So, every evidence is Elijah’s about to sound…

 

If his words were true, why are brethren in The Restored Church of God anticipating tomorrow morning?

 

The Kingdom of God Arrives on October 29, 2023

at Sunset in Jerusalem – 9:52 AM ET

 

Part 476 – October 21, 2023

@ 1:09:10 It’s interesting. Before the year begins, before Elijah appears as the Messenger of the Covenant, it says he’s like a refiner’s fire and fullers’ soap before the year began. Have we understood that correctly?

 

You should know the drill by now. When he poses a question that way, the apparent answer is implied.

 

@ 1:13:43 Let’s imagine the Kingdom of God and the Day of the Lord come next Cheshvan 1. That would be November 1 next year [2024]. Let’s just imagine that.

 

Dave transitions from imagining to teaching within twenty minutes. Who could have guessed that a wooden ruler art project would hold the key to determining what “the midst of the years” finally means?

 

@ 1:34:39 Last Cheshvan 1, 2022 (of the first two years) was October 25^th. Right here [on ruler]. 2022. Next Cheshvan 1, two years later, is November 1^st, 2024.

 

@ 1:36:23 God is saying dead middle right down the center of those two years because now we know it’s after the Feast. So, you gotta go 369 days forward from last October 25^th. Or 369 days backward from next November 1^st…

 

When Dave stood up, the camera was forced to either stare at his crotch or show a sparsely-populated Main Hall on the Sabbath. You can have fun counting the empty chairs.

The only bright side to this picture is that Dr. Ranney is still in town. Maybe he got a reprieve from being cast out of the state alongside Ken Orel. With Ken out of the picture (literally), Jaco Viljoen still gets to be the Headquarters Pastor, which is good news for the local congregation.

 

@ 1:36:45 And you’ll get when it’s game on. Can’t go to another year. Impossible.

 

@ 1:37:06 So, when is the midst of the year? When is it? It’s October 29^th. One week from tomorrow morning at sundown in Jerusalem. One week from tomorrow morning. But it's Cheshvan 15. The start of Cheshvan 15.

 

So much for making a declarative statement and holding himself accountable.

 

Part 471 – September 30, 2023

@ 1:43:41 I just don’t know. And I’m not here to tell you the day. I’ll never do it again. I’ll never do it again.

 

Nobody in The Restored Church of God holds David C. Pack accountable. Not for the words he says. Not for the actions he takes.

 

Part 476 – October 21, 2023

@ 1:41:17 So, you can decide if the Goodman eventually came to understand when Christ would come.

 

Considering Dave pushed off and then canceled Part 477 during the week, you can rest assured the brethren of The Restored Church of God have more time. Today, even Dave will have to admit, in some fashion, that he did NOT eventually come to understand when Christ would come. But NOW he does.

 

Despite the RCG philosophy of "It's not a failure, it's a drill, " the countdown timer on exrcg.org will continue even when the winds of doctrine change direction this afternoon.

 

This may be the last time you ever see this visual aid at the table. So, soak it in.

 

 

Dave was still aflutter about the war in Israel being a metric when he let something fall from his lips.

 

@ 10:01 Now, I wanna give you a little bit a news because, obviously, that [Hamas attacking Israel] was almost exactly fifteen days ago. That dawn is gonna turn out to be very important. But some things just developed upstairs right before dinner, and I wanted to talk to you about them.

 

*****

Question: What event occurred at the Headquarters of The Restored Church of God on October 21, 2023, right before dinner?

 

Answer: Sabbath Services.

*****

 

Sabbath Services were in progress right before dinner. Upstairs in the Third Floor Executive Imaginarium is where Dave and his broken lackeys hang out to escape holy convocations because those are not meant for them. Watching the news on the projector screen is more important than obeying God.

 

This is the pattern I witnessed for eight years in the Headquarter's Main Hall. Dave cannot be found so doing during Sabbath Services, but all eyes shall see him at the dining table feeding his face. He skips the Service but not the meal. That is his pattern.

 

Call me a liar, Brad. Oh…sorry. I keep forgetting that Brad no longer reads these ineffective articles.

 

Everyone else, you have two options to consider:

 

1) You can choose to believe that Dave requested Coffee Kid and/or Pepper Boy to go upstairs during Sabbath Services to monitor the news so only they would defy the command of God to assemble on the Sabbath that is even more crucial because they “see the day approaching” while Dave chose to sit at the back of the room, fully aware and present, taking diligent notes from the sermonette and sermon delivered by lesser men so that he could soon review those same notes allowing the spiritual food he desperately needed to be ingrained in his mind.

 

OR

 

2) Dave again blew off the commanded assembly, thumbed his nose at God, saying, "You better give me salvation as I rebel against your Feast" [Part 472 @ 1:02:15], and willfully withdrew himself from a holy convocation that he just threatened brethren with eternal death for doing themselves so he could watch TV and prepare news articles for his kind of momentous message.

 

If you believe the first option, you have not spent any significant time at Headquarters. 

 

 

David C. Pack has wasted the last ten years drilling false ideas into the heads of the brethren. Members of The Restored Church of God are conditioned to believe the road to salvation is paved with false starts, vain repetition, and countless disappointments.

 

They are not practicing drills that will prepare them for the coming of Jesus Christ. They are letting a false prophet presumptuously preach while unimpeded by accountability and enabled by cowardly hirelings.

 

The Bible explains who and what David C. Pack is. The warnings before their eyes are not a drill.

Dave Pack: The Devil Isn't Smart Enough To Slaughter And Behead Babies, But God Is!

Get Dead!

 

Pastor General David C. Pack of The Restored Church of God let his authentic light shine during "The Greatest Untold Story! (Part 475)" on October 12, 2023.

 

The mood in RCG gets very bleak at times.

 

Multiple people who worked closely with Dave commented that he was just an angry man. But the reality is worse than that.

This clip should tell you everything you need to know about David C. Pack and the state of The Restored Church of God to discern whether or not God is behind all of this.

 

After giving updates about the war in Israel, he offered a glimpse behind the veil.

 

Part 475 – October 12, 2023

@ 1:24:55 If you want to know my feelings about what’s happening to the Jews? Since I’m descended from David, I guess I am allowed to have a feeling. I’m enraged. I want some people to get dead.

 

Does that sound like a man inspired by the Holy Spirit? Is that of the same mind also in Christ Jesus? Is that an attitude of loving your enemies? Is that being as harmless as a dove?

Is that the image of a man of God? A loving shepherd? A goodman? A wise and faithful servant? Is that the face of a man you want to trust your eternal life with? Are the fruits of David C. Pack good or evil? Is he bitter or sweet?

 

Galatians 5:19-21

Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness, idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies, envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God.

 

Galatians 5:22

But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, temperance: against such there is no law.

 

Which spirit does David C. Pack continually expose himself as being espoused to? Do not listen to me. Listen to him.

 

 

No amount of framing the setup can excuse the following statement. After listening to the entire message, you will not find a reason or a point to what David C. Pack says about God.

 

He taught that the devil and his demons would be burned up forever in the Lake of Fire. Whether you agree with that theologically is not the point. Out of the abundance of the heart, the mouth speaks.

 

Let David C. Pack’s mouth speak.

Part 475 – October 12, 2023

@ 1:24:39 But would God do this? He would. He would slaughter babies and behead them, do things so horrific, I would almost think the devil couldn’t think of them.

 

That is the god he preaches. That is the god he worships. This is the spirit of The Restored Church of Another god. If I were a demon, I would leap into the mouth of David C. Pack and have him say something like this to his entire church. 

 

That statement came out of nowhere and went nowhere. It was an island of darkness that came and went. After mentally toiling over it for days, I still cannot understand his purpose in uttering it.

 

A page of context or a chalkboard of misspeak possibilities cannot excuse those words. He said what he meant to say the way he meant to say it. That spiritual poison came from his lips and edified no one.

 

The brethren must be questioning what drives their Pastor General. And yet, they stay.

 

The actions of David C. Pack declare God is not using him to end the Mystery of God. The Holy Spirit is not inspiring his words. To dismiss his attitude as bravado, narcissism, or mental illness undercuts the seriousness of the RCG situation.

 

Now that he has become what Jesus Christ once was, this path can only lead to greater wickedness.

 

Some have wondered if we should even pray for David C. Pack anymore. That is a tough call.

 

He may wish his enemies to get dead but do not desire that of him. Do not be like him.

 

Proverbs 24:17-18 

Rejoice not when your enemy falls, and let not your heart be glad when he stumbles: Lest the LORD see it, and it displease Him, and He turn away His wrath from him.

 

I do not want David C. Pack to get dead. I want him to repent. Which one of us do you think is harboring an evil spirit?

Crackpot Tiny COG Prophet Says Anglos Soon To Be Made Slaves

 

One thing you can never fault the Church of God ministers and self-appointed church leaders about is their ability to find the worst in every situation. But what else should we expect when their god is always pissed off about something and is just itching to destroy the lot of humanity (except for those superfantabulous COG members ensconce in Petra and living the high life as humanity dies around them). Such a lovely scenario.

The greatest self-appointed prophet in the history of Christianity, the Great Bwana Bob Mzungu Thiel is back regaling us with his mental brainfarts about how pissed off his god is and what delicious things it has in store for the world.

Enjoy!

First, painful sores will appear on those still subservient to the beast (Revelation 16:2). The second and third plagues turn the seas, rivers and springs of water into blood (verses 3-7). 

 

The fourth plague turns the normally, life-giving sun into a life-destroying power as the sun heats the earth to incredible temperatures. This fourth plague will still not bring mankind to repentance (verses 8-9). The fifth plague causes massive pain and plunges the beast’s realm into darkness (verses 10-11.) 

 

But many, instead of putting their confidence in God, are hoping shelters and stored food will work. 

 

While many doomsday preppers and most Christians seem to think that they will survive well during the 3 1/2 years that starts with the Great Tribulation, there are factors that they have not considered–or at least not well enough. 

 

Those without food or shelters will seek out those with both–hence theft and worse will happen–Additionally, it needs to be emphasized, is that God does not promise to physically protect all Christians in the end times. 

 

That said, Bible shows that some few will escape the captivity that will impact the Anglo-American peoples and will go to the mountains:

16 ‘Those who survive will escape and be on the mountains

Like doves of the valleys,

All of them mourning,

Each for his iniquity.

17 Every hand will be feeble,

And every knee will be as weak as water. (Ezekiel 7:16-17)

Yet, notice also something from the prophets Amos and Jeremiah:

9 ‘Assemble on the mountains of Samaria; See great tumults in her midst, And the oppressed within her. 10 For they do not know to do right, ‘Says the Lord, ‘Who store up violence and robbery in their palaces.’” 11 Therefore thus says the Lord God: “An adversary shall be all around the land; He shall sap your strength from you, And your palaces shall be plundered.” 12 Thus says the Lord: “As a shepherd takes from the mouth of a lion Two legs or a piece of an ear, So shall the children of Israel be taken out Who dwell in Samaria — In the corner of a bed and on the edge of a couch! 13 Hear and testify against the house of Jacob,”Says the Lord God, the God of hosts, 14 ‘That in the day I punish Israel for their transgressions, I will also visit destruction on the altars of Bethel; And the horns of the altar shall be cut off And fall to the ground. (Amos 3:9-14)

19 They pursued us on the mountains And lay in wait for us in the wilderness (Lamentations 4:19).

The above indicates that some will be hiding in the mountains, and other places in the USA, while others are will be taken out of the USA. Most of the Anglos that are not killed will be made slaves. Hiding in the mountains may protect a few for a time, but it will be relatively few that survive that way for long. 

 

They will be pursued. 

 

All of you grievous sinful Laodiceans will not have to go through this if you would return to the one true church that the greatest prophet in the entire history of the world now runs out of a cheap storefront in Grover Beach, CA. 

If you are alive during this time and you do not want to be overcome by the coming Beast, YOU MUST live as a Philadelphian Christian–do not deceive yourself otherwise. 

Jesus gave the following warning to most end time Christians: 

15 I know your works, that you are neither cold nor hot. I could wish you were cold or hot. 16 So then, because you are lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will vomit you out of My mouth. 17 Because you say, ‘I am rich, have become wealthy, and have need of nothing’ — and do not know that you are wretched, miserable, poor, blind, and naked — 18 I counsel you to buy from Me gold refined in the fire, that you may be rich; and white garments, that you may be clothed, that the shame of your nakedness may not be revealed; and anoint your eyes with eye salve, that you may see. 19 As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten. Therefore be zealous and repent. (Revelation 3:14-19) 

 

While there is value in doing some physical prepping, proper spiritual prepping–which MOST END TIME CHRISTIANS WILL NOT DO–is so much more important.

LCG Whining Yet Again About Those Pesky Germans! When Will They Ever Stop??????

 

It's another day in another year and in another decade and STILL, the Living Church of God is freaking out over Germany, all thanks to the absurdities that Herbert Armstrong, Gerald Waterhouse, and Rod Meredith hyperventilated over back in the 1950s to mid-1980s. 

Who can ever forget Rod Meredith's sermons with his red face and veins popping as he pounded the podium screaming about parents eating their children, teenagers sent to Europe to be slaves to the Europeans, concentration camps, crematories, and people being hung up on meathooks. Oh, and don't forget, Hitler was still alive in Argentina gathering his new army of expat Germans together so they could invade the United States and spank our asses. Isn't the Church of God grand?

Never fear though, write in for LCG's Middle East in Prophecy booklet and you too can save your sorry sad Laodicean ass.

The Bible reveals that a future German-led European beast power will occupy the Holy Land and control Jerusalem. The Apostle John wrote that non-Jewish Gentiles “will tread the holy city underfoot” for 42 months prior to Christ’s return (Revelation 11:2). How might these Gentiles come to control the Holy Land? Analysts warn that if the current escalation in Israel and Gaza does not soon cease, it could plunge the entire region into war, drawing in many nations, including the United States and other Western countries. Germany could offer to move into Israel politically and even militarily for a time, in order to protect Israel and prevent further war. Time will tell, and the details remain to be seen. However, God’s prophecies will come to pass. To learn more about events prophesied to engulf the Middle East, read or listen to our insightful booklet The Middle East in Prophecy.
