United Church of God Looks To The Moon More Than They Do Christ

Church of God News had this up today concerning Rick Shabi's recent comment upon the full moon that is necessary for them to be able to celebrate holy days and the Feast of Tabernacles. Imagine what the United Church of God would be like if they actually focused themselves upon the grace of Christ instead of this useless stuff?

United Church of God and the Hebrew Calendar

In an article, Galaxies, the Moon and the Feast, July 15th, UCG’s new president, Rick Shabi, waxes lyrical about the full moon and its importance to “The Feast.” 

“If you were outside last night you saw another amazing, beautiful and significant work of God – a full moon … Three months from today, when the sun sets, the Feast of Tabernacles begins. On the third full moon from now we will be right where God wants us to be, on the day He proclaimed as an “appointed time” … where God has placed His name. He says to be at “that place” by the time the Feast of Tabernacles begins. That’s at sunset that begins the 15th of the seventh month on the sacred calendar.” 

The UCG teaches that there is always a full moon on the first evening of the Feast of Tabernacles in the Hebrew Calendar. Rick Shabi goes further, castigating those members who would dare to think about starting the Feast of Tabernacles one or two days after the full moon, likening them to the foolish virgins who will be shut out of the marriage feast. 

“Would you dare be late to an assembly the Great God of this universe has called – the God who has offered us eternal life if we follow Him and earnestly, diligently and carefully learn and keep all His ways? God sees our hearts by how we observe the Feast of Tabernacles.  

As we prepare for the Feast, bear in mind that you are also preparing your heart for how you receive God’s Kingdom. Will you be late, asleep or unprepared like the five “foolish virgins” of Matthew 25? 

Or will you be ready? Will you be at the Holy convocation of God as the Feast begins in the very first service at the site you will be attending?“ 

In 2023, according to the Hebrew Calendar, the Feast will start one day later than the full moon. So what will Rick Shabi do next year?

“Judge not, and ye shall not be judged: condemn not, and ye shall not be condemned: forgive, and ye shall be forgiven.” (Luke 6:37)

Tony Roach is Back With More Revealed Knowledge! God and Jesus live in the sun!!!!!!! Holey Moely Batman!

 

The home of God and Jesus and the future Kingdom of God...

It has been some time since we have featured one of the "newer" prophets of the Church of God, Tony Roach. Bob Thiel and his mindless utterances are simplistic compared to the wisdom that comes from Tony Roach!

Tony Roach joined the Ambassador College Facebook page today and immediately started spewing his wisdom:

There is a lot that has happened since Armstrong's death... I was able to foretell the day Tkatch would sell the Worldwide Church Of God By counting the days of Daniel mentioned by Daniel and Jesus from When the WWCOG came to Orlando to the NAE and joined excepting the mark of the beast and setting up the abomination that maketh desolate... I won't go into all the detail here but you can read all about it on my page... Most fascinating... Also... The Spring Harvest of Souls has past in 2020 cloaked in a veil of the corona virus.... We now wait on the Fall Harvest of Souls which will be in 7 years.... The tribulations begin Sept 16, 2023... The two witnesses are "The House of Israel? and "The House of Judah"... There is much more you've missed.... With Love Always Tony Roach 

And then there was this about the location of the Kingdom of God and where God's throne is:

I hope you don't mind if I tell you the things you have missed since Armstrong's death... Here is one... The reason Babylon began worshiping the sun and the keeping of Sunday, Xmas, Easter, etc is because Nimrod new the Kingdom of God was on the sun... Here are the scriptures....
Isaiah 33:14 

This by itself is why no one can ever take Armstrongism seriously anymore.  

...Who among us shall dwell with the devouring fire? who among us shall dwell with everlasting burnings? (Pagan Churches teaches it is sinners but notice) 

 

15 He that walketh righteously, and speaketh uprightly; he that despiseth the gain of oppressions, that shaketh his hands from holding of bribes, that stoppeth his ears from hearing of blood, and shutteth his eyes from seeing evil 

The stupidity continues...Satan used to dwell on the sun till he rebelled...ho hum. 

Satan was on the sun in the Kingdom of Heaven at one time... 

 

Ezekiel 28:14 Thou art the anointed cherub that covereth; and I have set thee so: thou wast upon the holy mountain of God; THOU HAST WALKED UP AND DOWN IN THE MIDST OF THE STONES OF FIRE. 

And, God lives on the sun! 

God is on the sun... You are going to think God's ways are strange... It's already been recorded in Hosea 8:12... I have written to him the great things of my law, but they were counted as a strange thing. 

 

But here are the facts... 

 

The Babylonians back in Nimrod's era and the tower of Babel... Nimrod set himself up as the sun god and his wife/mother as the sun goddess... They new Jesus and the angels and such were on the sun... This is what began paganism and the worship of the sun and the sun goddess... Sunday... Sun god's birthday; Christmas... Sun goddesses birthday Easter all stemmed from these Babylonian Pagan beliefs... 

Armstrongism is filled with so many myths about Nimrod that it is ridiculous and almost all of them are in error, including the ones Bob Thiel throws out.

Yes you may think this to be strange that Jesus and the Kingdom of God is on the sun... But check out the scriptures... 

 

First God appears to Moses in the flames of a burning bush in Exodus 3:2-4...
When Jesus appears to Ezekiel notice the discription in Chapter one... Notice in verse 13, the creatures appeared as burning coals of fire... 

 

And in verses 26-27.. where it descsribes Jesus it is recorded... 

 

Ezekiel 1:26 And above the firmament that was over their heads was the likeness of a throne, as the appearance of a sapphire stone: and upon the likeness of the throne was the likeness as the appearance of a man above upon it. 27 And I saw as the colour of amber, as the appearance of fire round about within it, from the appearance of his loins even upward, and from the appearance of his loins even downward, I saw as it were the appearance of fire, and it had brightness round about.
In Revelation 19:11 it describes Jesus' eyes as a flame of fire... 

 

In verse 17 it is recorded... "AND I SAW AN ANGEL STANDING IN THE SUN..." 

 

In Revelation 10:1 it is recorded... 

 

And I saw another mighty angel come down from heaven, clothed with a cloud: and a rainbow was upon his head, and his face was as it were the sun, and his feet as pillars of fire: 

 

Think about it.... 

 

As you will see Lucifer was once in heaven in the Kingdom Of God.... in the midst of the stones of fire... Check this out... 

 

Ezekiel 28:14 Thou art the anointed cherub that covereth; and I have set thee so: thou wast upon the holy mountain of God; THOU HAST WALKED UP AND DOWN IN THE MIDST OF THE STONES OF FIRE. 

 

15 Thou wast perfect in thy ways from the day that thou wast created, till iniquity was found in thee.
16 By the multitude of thy merchandise they have filled the midst of thee with violence, and thou hast sinned: therefore I will cast thee as profane out of the mountain of God: AND I WILL DESTROY THEE, O COVERING CHERUB, FROM THE MIDST OF THE STONES OF FIRE.
Isaiah 24:15 Wherefore glorify ye the LORD in the fires, even the name of the LORD God of Israel in the isles of the sea. 

 

Deuteronomy 4:24 For the LORD thy God is a consuming fire, even a jealous God.
Hebrews 1:7 And of the angels he saith, Who maketh his angels spirits, and his ministers a flame of fire. 

 

Hebrews 12:29 For our God is a consuming fire. 

 

Psalms 104:4 Who maketh his angels spirits; his ministers a flaming fire: 

 

Isaiah 43:2 When thou passest through the waters, I will be with thee; and through the rivers, they shall not overflow thee: when thou walkest through the fire, thou shalt not be burned; neither shall the flame kindle upon thee. 

 

Ezekiel 8:1 And it came to pass in the sixth year, in the sixth month, in the fifth day of the month, as I sat in mine house, and the elders of Judah sat before me, that the hand of the Lord GOD fell there upon me. 2 Then I beheld, and lo a likeness as the appearance of fire: from the appearance of his loins even downward, fire; and from his loins even upward, as the appearance of brightness, as the colour of amber. 

 

God gives us the story of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, in the book of Daniel Chapter 3 when they were thrown in the furnace and survived... 

 

Matthew 3:11 I indeed baptize you with water unto repentance: but he that cometh after me is mightier than I, whose shoes I am not worthy to bear: he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost, and with fire: 

 

1 Peter 4:12 Beloved, think it not strange concerning the fiery trial which is to try you, as though some strange thing happened unto you: 

 

Psalms 84:11
FOR THE LORD GOD IS A SUN AND SHIELD 

 

That does not mean you worship the sun!!!!

So many in the COG want the church to be taken seriously, but how can it when simpletons like this are running around. Between Roach, Thiel, Weinland, Pack, and Flurry, the COG has zero credibility anymore. It has become a laughing stock, not from the persecution of the world, but inwardly by its own making.

PCG's Lil'Joel Hilliker Reminds Members Bedroom Hair Is Unacceptable In The Morning

 

PCG is rerunning an article by Lil'Joel Hilliker that asks, "Is Your Home Uplifting?" That is a pretty loaded question for someone in the Philadelphia Church of God to be asking considering the horrific treatment of children in the PCG and of their parents. Remember the story about the family that was encouraged to dump their teenage daughter at the mall so the state could take care of her so that the family could devote that money used to care for the daughter to the church? Or, the constant belittling of members that has led to numerous suicides? How quickly they sweep it under the rug.

Never mind that though, this is more important to be able to quote from Herb's book, The Missing Dimension in Sex.

“If you want a happy marriage, be far more particular about all such things after marriage than before. Be careful about your sleeping garments—be sure they are neat, clean, attractive to the other. Be careful about your hair especially on rising in the morning. The very first thing I try to do on rising is to get a comb and brush, before my wife sees tousled and messed-up hair! …

When will the PCG ever leave the 1980's behind, or, in the case of the book, the 1920's when Herbert was having a hard time trying to seduce his frigid wife, Loma? That is the main reason he wrote the sex books in the church. If you did not know better you would think that Herb was still alive and telling them what to believe. There will be people in PCG who will believe what this twit wrote and think they need to do it every single morning now.

He ends with this, which is as far away from a description of the homes of PCG members as possible. 

Everyone needs praise, and needs to feel admired and appreciated. Especially our impressionable children. Sometimes we can get into a bad cycle of correcting them, and always seeing their mistakes. This can be a trap. When you see something praiseworthy, tell them so! You’ll see them blossom like a flower receiving water. 

 

Let’s make our homes training grounds in putting God’s love—the most positive force in the universe—into action, every day.

When has a COG ever praised its members? 

When has a COG, particularly the PCG ever been a training ground for Godly love? 

Steven Hassan on Armstrongism and the issues facing children and second-generation members born into cults.

Steven Hassan discusses Armstrongism as he interviews Tricia Jenkins. He has spent decades helping COG members escape the church.

Tricia Jenkins, Ph.D. is a podcaster and professor of film, TV, and digital media at TCU in Fort Worth, TX. She is the author of three books including The CIA in Hollywood, as well as Superheroes, Movies, and the State. Her new podcast, Worldwide: The Unchosen Church, features stories about growing up in the Worldwide Church of God- a doomsday apocalyptic cult. We talk about issues facing children and second-generation members born into cults. Details about Herbert W. Armstrong’s authoritarian cult group, an influential Christian right group, and its history are fascinating.
