Doug Winnail Says: Stop Trying To Find Fault With Us! Then Broadsides Bob Thiel

The poor folk in LCG just never get a break.  They are constantly doing something wrong and getting called on the carpet.  The world is collapsing around them and they keep getting into trouble.

Doug Winnail wants LCG members to stop being so critical of the leadership, in Jim Meredeth's colossal mistakes, in refurbishing office space during the financial crisis, recent disfellowshipments and other major issues.  This is just Satan attacking the LCG and you need not worry about it.

The best part though is when he slaps non-ordained Bob Thiel right across the face with a great broadside:

"Little stay-at-home groups are simply unable to do a work of this magnitude or carry out this God-given mission."

Poor Bob, such an epic failure right out of the starting gate.  Poor little guy!

Doug Winnail writes to the flock today with this:

Loose Bricks or Big Picture? How do you view the Church of God and the Work of God? Many who come into contact with the Living Church of God are excited to learn the Truth of God for the first time. Others are grateful to reconnect with the Truth they once learned from the Scriptures. Yet, from time to time, some, who are actually part of the very Church that is doing this Work, begin to look for loose bricks. They begin to compile lists of what they think are problems in the Church—editorial mistakes, misspoken words in a sermon, supposed doctrinal errors or decisions they disagree with. However, we need to remember that David and Samuel, Peter and Paul all had their problems and their detractors, yet God used these imperfect human beings to carry on His Work. The human leaders of God’s Church today are no different, and detractors have not disappeared. We need to appreciate the fact that the Tomorrow’s World magazine and television program are reaching millions of people and hundreds of thousands are responding.  The Internet presence of the Church is growing, and lives are being changed. The Gospel of the Kingdom of God and the message of salvation through Jesus Christ are being preached, and the world is being warned about sobering events that lie just ahead. Little stay-at-home groups are simply unable to do a work of this magnitude or carry out this God-given mission. This is the big picture to keep in mind instead of being caught up looking for loose bricks!

 

Have a profitable Sabbath!

False Prophet Thiel Says God Is Deliberately Burning Southern California Because They are Such Horrible Sinners

California Fire News

First it was LCG claiming that the "highways have been made desolate" in the United States because of the Boston bombings, snow in the Midwest, and flooding on the Mississippi River.  Now we have the non-ordained self-appointed false prophet Thiel claiming the current fires in Southern California are a sign that prophecy is being fulfilled.  God knows that Californians are the most vile of sinners in the entire world and need to be spanked grievously.

Although California historically has wildfires, the Bible mentions fire as something God sometimes uses to punish.  Here are some examples:

11 The Lord said:
“Surely it will be well with your remnant;
Surely I will cause the enemy to intercede with you
In the time of adversity and in the time of affliction.
12 Can anyone break iron,
The northern iron and the bronze?
13 Your wealth and your treasures
I will give as plunder without price,
Because of all your sins,
Throughout your territories.
14 And I will make you cross over with your enemies
Into a land which you do not know;
For a fire is kindled in My anger,
Which shall burn upon you.”   (Jeremiah 15:11-14)

12 O house of David! Thus says the Lord:
“Execute judgment in the morning;
And deliver him who is plundered
Out of the hand of the oppressor,
Lest My fury go forth like fire
And burn so that no one can quench it,
Because of the evil of your doings.
13 “Behold, I am against you, O inhabitant of the valley,
And rock of the plain,” says the Lord,
“Who say, ‘Who shall come down against us?
Or who shall enter our dwellings?’
14 But I will punish you according to the fruit of your doings,” says the Lord;
“I will kindle a fire in its forest,
And it shall devour all things around it.”‘  (Jeremiah 21:12-14)

11 The Lord has fulfilled His fury,
He has poured out His fierce anger.
He kindled a fire in Zion,
And it has devoured its foundations.  (Lamentations 4:11)

15 There the fire will devour you,
The sword will cut you off;
It will eat you up like a locust.  (Nahum 3:15)

The non-ordained self-appointed false prophet continues:

Although my prayers are with those affected by the fires, and where I live is also subject to wildfires, I also pray that those in California will repent as worse problems are ahead if the State continues to go in a moral direction away from the Bible.  Weather problems can be a warning.
Jesus taught:

7…And there will be famines, pestilences, and earthquakes in various places. 8 All these are the beginning of sorrows. (Matthew 24:7-8).
8 For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. And there will be earthquakes in various places, and there will be famines and troubles. These are the beginnings of sorrows. (Mark 13:8)

LCG Using News Stories To Fit Proof-texts of Scripture

To show how LCG proof-texts scripture to fit it's erroneous prophetic world view, check out the following announcement from LCG dated April 26, 2013.  In  the typical worldview of Armstrongism it can only quote from Hebrew scriptures to reinforce its prophetic stances.  In this case Rod Meredith resorts to using a verse from Leviticus. An obscure verse about highways being desolate automatically is taken into the 21st century and applied to something that has nothing to do with what is being imagined.

Highways Desolate

Bible prophecies warn of curses to come on the Israelite-descended nations because of their outright rejection of God and His laws. One of God’s punishments for disobedience will be “your highways shall be desolate” (Leviticus 26:22). Recent events in the United States and Canada reveal how this prophecy might be fulfilled. Last week in Boston, during a manhunt for a bombing suspect, the city mandated that residents remain in their homes. Businesses were closed, children could not play out of doors, and only police cars and armored vehicles were allowed on streets—the roads and highways were desolate (The New Yorker, April 19, 2013). Concurrently, a portion of the U.S.’s largest “highway”—the Mississippi River—also came to a grinding halt. “Barge shipping on the Illinois River and parts of the Mississippi River will remain impeded until at least early next week as the flood-swollen waterways slowly recede from record- or near-record-high crests” (Reuters, April 23, 2013; Reuters, April 22, 2013). This followed a partial shut-down of river traffic in both August and December of last year, due to low water levels in the river system (Reuters, August 20, 2012; Reuters, December 26, 2012). Also this week, many major U.S. airports experienced significant flight delays due to budgetary furloughs of air traffic controllers (The New York Times, April 23, 2013). In Canada, a plot targeting an international railway train—another highway—was foiled this week (National Post, April 22, 2013). These sobering events provide a glimpse of things to come if our nations fail to return to God.

Apostle Malm: You Need To Be More Concerned About Christ Coming Back To Whip Your Ass Than Satan Attacking You In The Tribulation

Jesus Christ is coming back and he is PISSED!  He is ticked off that COG members are breaking the law and that they do not keep it 100%.  Apostle Malm can, but the rest of the dumb schmucks in the COG apparently can't.  Remember that time you went out after church, before sundown, and had that juicy steak dinner?  Jesus Christ is going to nail you for that!  Bad Sinner!  Bad! Bad! Bad!

Brethren, many think that this coming tribulation is about some angry Satan attacking the righteous people of God.  Nothing could be further from the truth.

It is because of the lack of zeal for the law of God and for his Sabbath that we are called to account and will be rejected by Christ and thrown into great tribulation that the spirit may be brought to repentance and saved by the affliction of the flesh.

Jesus Christ is going to let billions of humans fry in the tribulation because he is so ticked off.  He is going to stand there and do nothing as the sinning filth in front of him writhe in pain and agony before they die.

You elders who do not cry aloud and rebuke sin in the Assemblies, you elders who teach the brethren to sin by saying that Christ will overlook sin:  This very Jesus Christ will allow billions of human beings to be destroyed in the tribulation when he could prevent it!

If you elders teach to tolerate sin for organizational unity, or that Jesus is love and will overlook willful unrepented sin;  You are leading people who believe and follow you to their damnation! It that really the love you claim it is?

Jesus Christ and the Father are love!  because they love us they want us to live eternally with a happy fulfilling lives!  To teach that the sin which corrupts that eternal life and brings suffering and death could be tolerated by the love of God is an incredible blasphemy against the love of God.  Christ will never allow or overlook any unrepented sin!  NEVER!

To teach tolerance for heresy and sin is to mock the Christ who inspired the scriptures.

Like most of the COG's out there today,  Malm is looking with glee as his angry pissed off god starts killing humanity.  The myth that the COG is going to produce two great witnesses that will hold the world accountable is still being promoted by Malm and others.  They want these guys to kill and destroy.  If they don't come to kill and destroy then the entire COG belief system falls apart.

Very soon now God will commission HIS two servants to stand up and do HIS will, by delivering the repentance elect to the place prepared; and by preaching the gospel of warning and repentance to the whole world.  These two will be given great powers like Moses and Elijah to help them fulfill their missions.

Beware all of you grace filled Christians out there. Your filthy lovey-dovey grace is murderous!

They will not be wimpy emotionally immature love love folks.  They will love as God loves; by condemning sin and correcting the unrepentant sinful.  

 When these two pronounce some affliction and thousands die; will you condemn them and reject them?  or will you stand in awe of the power of God manifested in them?  and obey their instructions to KEEP all the teachings, commandments and instructions of Jesus Christ?  Will you remember the miracles that Moses and Elijah did by God’s power, and rejoice that your deliverance and inheritance is nigh?

Will you be one of the ones standing there with shouts of glee as humanity fry's around you?  When little children are  sent to the German concentration camp ovens will you shout with glee?  Malm apparently will.  His god demands it.

We have been made flesh so that we might suffer sin in the flesh and learn to hate sin as much as Jesus Christ hates and abhors sin!  It is sin that separates us from our Lord and our Father in heaven.
To be at ONE with Christ and the Father; we must hate the thing that separates us from them; we must love what they love and hate what they hate.

Anyone who teaches to tolerate differences of doctrine [heresy] from scripture,  or to overlook and leave sin unrebuked; is of their father the devil, and is NOT;  ONE with Christ and the Father of the elect.

Apostle Malm hates the word love with a passion.  Obviously the poor guy has never really experienced it in  his life or from his god.  Bad relationships and a vengeful god makes most COG members miserable sour-pusses and apostle Malm is a prime example.

Beware the emotional love love trap into a false Christ and false religion as warned of by Jude.  Jesus Christ  is going to bring this world to its knees before him.

COG Chief Pharisee Says "In Vetro" Fertilization Is An Abomination!

The worlds greatest law enforcer and greatest law breaker, James Malm, is ragging on UCG today stating that they are promoting the practice of In Vetro fertilization and abortion.  I don't know of any COG that advocates abortion.  I can guarantee Malm that there are probably hundreds of children in the COG's that have been conceived this way.  They truly have the right to call Malm the jackass that he is.

UCG NEWS:   The next GN focuses on condemning abortion.  I know of many instances of abortion in UCG, including the abomination of “ in vitro” fertilization which fertilizes several eggs and then destroys the ones not chosen for use.  I sincerely hope that the many elders in UCG and the other COG Groups now approving of abortion; deeply repent of that vile grotesque abomination and turn to God.

In this article Bob Berendt presents what Denny had told him, apparently unaware of Denny’s acceptance of abortion and in vitro in his private counseling’s with brethren. The Beginning of Life
Denny was not alone in his positions.  Congratulations are due to Scott Ashley for standing on official UCG teachings regardless of the strong opposition within the UCG ministry.

Here is an another article fighting these things as approved by Denny in his congregations.   When Does Human Life Begin? by J L. Merritt, M.D. & J. Lawrence Merritt, M.D
