Merry Feast of Tabernacles! The COG Christmas Season



Its time for the joyous season of gift giving and magnificent banquets of food prepared in abundance celebrating the season of peace ever lasting.  In the Church of God the Feast was a time of giving gifts to children left out from the Christmas celebrations.  Fabulous and exotic destinations were traveled to and wondrous foods and alcohol consumed. 

There was little talk of Jesus at this time though. Since Jesus always gets short shifted it the COG here's a great song to remind them of what they are pseudo-celebrating.

Thin-Skinned Bitter Bob Lashes Out At Wallace Smith and Rod Meredith In Another Fit of Rage



Its starting to sound like a broken record when it comes to Bob Thiel and Rod Meredith.  Thiel has been extremely bitter since Meridith publicly rebuked him over a year or so ago for his delusional behavior.  That public rebuke reached Thiel's eyes from this web site BEFORE he heard it from anyone at Living Church of God.  That certainly has to be the most humiliating day in Thiel's apostolic life!

The LCG has been swift to rebuke and warn LCG members to be wary of delusional men who self-appoint themselves to positions of power and authority.  The constant public rebukes by Meredith and other LCG leaders strikes a raw nerve in Thiel's delicate personalty.  Apparently Thiel is not thick-skinned like Herbert Armstrong was who ignored his detractors.  Thiel lashes out whining and moaning every time he is labeled as false leader and an usurper in the faith.

The other day he lashed out at Rod Meredith AGAIN though a bitter come back at Wallace Smith regarding an article he wrote telling LCG members to be wary of self-appointed men in the church claiming that they were prophets sent by God.  "Plain truth about "Prophets" from Herbert Armstrong."

Smith writes:
I was just studying a topic and came across, once again, Mr. Armstrong’s plain and simple explanation of what it means to have the office of Prophet. Ironically, it is given in a statement he makes explaining that he, himself, was not a prophet. And given that Christ prophesied that there would be “many” false prophets in the world as the end approaches (Matt. 24:11) — including those aiming to deceive God’s own people, specifically (v.24) — I think the clarity of his words is terribly helpful.
In the February 1972 Tomorrow’s World (nice title!) magazine on page 1, He said (bolding mine):

“Emphatically I am NOT a prophet, in the sense of one to whom God speaks specially and directly, revealing personally a future event to happen or new truth, or new and special instruction direct from God — separate from, and apart from what is contained in the Bible. And I never have claimed to be.

There is no such human prophet living today!

“The Bible is the written Word of God — and, for our time now, it is COMPLETE! Never have I believed or claimed that God reveals to me new truths not contained in the Bible — in addition to, or apart from the Bible.”

That description of what it means to occupy the office of Prophet is both simple and completely consistent with the lives of those who held that office in Scripture. I’ve seen the definition of a Prophet messed with many different ways by individuals who were, essentially, trying to craft lists of “qualifications” they could claim apply to themselves, and, in doing so, do great violence to the Bible — contorting it with all their might to make it say something that it simply does not say. (More specifically, contorting it to make it say something about them.)
 Later Smith writes:
Those who would wish to make the office of Prophet about having unique and special insight concerning biblical understanding or seeing who in the world is represented in the Bible would find themselves doing (or claiming to do) no more than Mr. Armstrong did in his own life. And, as he said clearly and simply, that isn’t enough to make you a Prophet like, say, John the Baptist, Elijah, or Agabus.

For instance, I’ve seen Self-Appointed Prophets claim that the ability to “predict” some things and to understand the prophecies of the Bible are the fruit of a prophet. Cherry-picked scriptures (against Isaiah 28:9-10) are sometimes used to support this idea. Mr. Armstrong’s life and work — he did both, himself — contradict that statement, however, and clarify the meaning of those scriptures (as do other scriptures), and his personal example highlights to us that this is not enough to grant one the title of Prophet. He did those things and was not, himself, a Prophet. In fact, he did those things far more impressively than any of the pretenders I see in today’s crop of fake “prophets” and, yet, recognized that such things did not qualify him to bear that title.

(Note: This is all aside from discussing the fact that many Prophet Wannabes list “successful predictions” that are far from actually being actual, successful predictions in any meaningful and relevant sense of the words. I’ve seen various lists of “predictions” and put them to the test. Literally not a one has ever passed the test like they claim to do. None. Always examine such lists closely; the failure to meet the standard of “Prophet” is usually pretty clear. The points I am making here are broader than this, but it’s still a good point to make as an aside. I have simply never seen a list of “predictions” or a video from a “Prophet” making such predictions that are of the sort sufficient to qualify them as a Prophet. Ever. It would be exciting to see one, but I haven’t seen one yet.)
Poor Bob, that must REALLY hurt to hear that!
Those individuals today who claiming the title and office of Prophet are, judging by Mr. Armstrong’s biblically consistent words, sadly self-deluded or purposefully being false (I prefer to believe the former).
Delicate thin-skinned Thiel lashes out with this:
Wallace Smith has repeatedly attacked me--and the above was intended as another attack against me.
Like any good prophet, splinter group leader or wanna-be apostle Thiel then has to have SEVEN PROOFS that he is for real.  Seven, that magical number in Armstrongism of perfection.  Since Thiel leads the greatest work the COG has ever seen in 1,900 years, and is the worlds most accurate prophet, perfection perfectly describes him.

Next, Thiel brings in Aaron Dean's opinion on why he (Thiel) is a prophet:
 First, I spoke at least twice to Aaron Dean about Herbert Armstrong's position about prophets. Aaron Dean said it was Herbert Armstrong's belief that there were at least two alive when he wrote the Mystery of the Ages (with Aaron Dean's assistance) who God would later use as prophets. No one should imply that Herbert Armstrong did not believe God would raise up any prophets in the last days.
Then Thiel uses an old article by Meredith that prophets would arise in the end time.  Thiel believes this is the second  proof he is a prophet.  Logic dictates, at least in Thiel's mind., that since this is the end time he is one of those prophets.
Second, Dr. Meredith, current head of LCG, decades ago wrote that the church was to have prophets (Meredith RC. How Church Government Really WORKS. Good News, March 1964, pp. 4-5). So, does it not make sense as we get closer to the end that there would be at least one?
Thiel's third proof is that his prediction of God striking down Meredith and his wife came to pass.  Meredith had a stroke and his wife died of cancer.
Third, I did tell LCG's Davy Crockett in August of 2008 that I believe God revealed to me that a top leader in LCG would be struck if he would not implement certain corrections that he promised to implement, and that happened to Dr. Meredith the next month. This was an 'outside of the Bible' prediction that came to pass.

Fourthly, I also tried to warn Dr. Meredith in December 2011 that his wife was to be struck health-wise and several weeks later it was reported by him that she was. This was another 'outside of the Bible' prediction that came to pass.
Next Thiel uses the dreams he and a woman in his personality cult had as the fifth proof that he is a prophet:
Fifthly, it was the position of the old Worldwide Church of God that God would again use dreams (Personal Correspondence Letter). Yet, the old WCG never reported any, hence the belief was that this would happen in the future, and it has. God has used dreams several times for at least three now part of the Continuing Church of God. For details, please study the article Dreams, the Bible, and the Continuing Church of God.
 Next Theil gives the sixth proof just because he assumes so:
Sixthly, I do have the other fruits of a prophet Jesus spoke of. For details, please study the article How To Determine If Someone is a True Prophet of God.
Then Thiel drags Rod Meredith back into the equation:
 Seventhly, it was LCG's Dr. Meredith who called me up and told me that GOD may consider that I was a prophet in October 2008. Wallace Smith neglected to share that part of the truth in his post. I was NOT going around for years telling people that I was. Prior to my 'double-portion' anointing by LCG minister Gaylyn Bonjour, I never told any LCG leaders I was a prophet. I told them what Dr. Meredith said and told them that I felt that I must receive a further ordination to accept that.
It is Wallace Smith who is clearly reporting a lie. And he remains too cowardly to name me by name--yet he is being a false accuser of the brethren.
Thiel is so incensed at Meredith and others actions in the Living Church of God that he claims that NO ONE in the LCG will ever be able to understand when the end times gets here.  That is only possible through Thiel's personality cult.  Unless you are a member of the Continuing-Ed Church of God you have NO HOPE of salvation.

The role of being a prophet in the Church of God is certainly messy!


I Am A Prophet Ordained By Jesus Christ!



Bob Thiel is constantly being belittled and questioned about his self-appointment to the role of church leader and prophet.  Thiel claims he is just like Paul in that he has not been directly anointed by a human apostle as prophet but by the mighty hand of Jesus Christ through Gaylyn Bonjour.


Notice the following:
1 Paul, an apostle (not from men nor through man, but through Jesus Christ and God the Father who raised Him from the dead) (Galatians 1:1)
1 Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God (Ephesians 1:1)
17 And Ananias went his way and entered the house; and laying his hands on him he said, "Brother Saul, the Lord Jesus, who appeared to you on the road as you came, has sent me that you may receive your sight and be filled with the Holy Spirit." (Acts 9:17)
Paul was ordained an apostle and prophet by God and had hands laid on him by a man who apparently was a minister--there is NO indication that Ananias was an apostle or prophet himself. I was ordained a prophet by God and had hands laid upon me by a man, a minister, who specifically asked that God would grant me a 'double-portion' of His Spirit.
Since was not an original apostle, a lot of Christians apparently had trouble with Paul being an apostle/prophet (2 Corinthians 11:22-29, Galatians 1:1, etc.), but the God viewed it otherwise.

My Prophecy That God Would Strike Down Mr and Mrs. Meredith Came True!



Armstrongism has always been filled with men that have great delusions of grandeur over its 70- some years of existence.  None can ignore the delusions of David C Pack and his superfantabulous Restored Church of God with the worlds biggest religions web site to ever exist in Internet history.

There's Gerald Flurry and his mini-me empire that has to imitate every thing related to Herbert Armstrong because he has never had an original thought in his alcohol impaired mind.  Even though he has plagiarized countless books and articles he still feels he is Elijah, Joshua, one of the Two Witnesses and more.

And then we have Bob Thiel..............the self-appointed prophet, church Overseer, the worlds best authority on Mayans and Catholicism,  and leader of the only TRUE Philadelphian COG to exist in the end times.   Narcissism and delusion mixed with all those traits presents to the world the most idiotic and silly man the Church of God has ever know!  He has become the laughing stock of the Church of God.

Thiel feels that his role as a prophet in the Church of God is divinely inspired and God given, all thanks to the stupid "double blessing" given to him by Gaylyn Bonjour.

Bob feels he is so significant and filled with prophetic insights that he prophesied that God was going to strike down Rod Meredith and his wife because Meredith was no longer following God's word.

As if!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  Thiel is completely nutters!

___________________________
Was white house wall jumper trying to bring President a SOCT message of “The Shift” which talks about the possibility of the atmosphere collapsing?
“It could happen now at any moment…and your government knows it! What could happen?The greatest shift of the ages! In fact, it has already started. This planet is ready to go at any moment. The earth’s ozone is collapsing and may fold in on itself at any moment. Your scientists have known this since the early 80’s.” ~E.W. King

This is the message that King thinks the fence jumper was taking to the POTUS:
