LCG Members Warned Against Expressing Their "Opinions"

 

Here is another doozy of a Friday Night Smackdown for LCG members.

Apparently, there are some rather rebellious LCG members who dared to have opinions about LCG leadership. One guess is that these opinions are NOT highly favorable of the leadership.

How dare members dare to think! How dare members hold the leadership accountable. Those that do are deceitful human beings with carnal minds.

LCG and other COG's can't understand why people are leaving their churches, this is why! God forbid if a church member dared to use their God-given brain to form some logical thoughts through observations and experiences.

But please, have a profitable Sabbath!

Our Opinions or Christ’s Mind: How many times have you heard or made comments like, “Here’s how I see it,” “Here’s what I think,” or “Here’s how it should have been done.” Often these comments are directed at people in leadership positions—even in the Church. Moses was criticized by others (Numbers 16). Peter differed sharply with Jesus (Matthew 16:21–23). In both cases, those expressing critical opinions did not recognize the real source of their negative thoughts and actions. Before we share our “different” opinions, we need to remember God’s warning, “My thoughts are not your thoughts, nor are your ways My ways” (Isaiah 55:8). We also need to remember the scriptural admonitions, “the carnal mind is enmity against God” and His ways—including His government (Romans 8:7) and “the heart is deceitful above all things” (Jeremiah 17:9). Before we begin spreading around our opinions, we need to develop a godly perspective that reflects the mind of Jesus Christ (Philippians 2:5) that we find outlined in Philippians 4:8.
Have a profitable Sabbath, Douglas S. Winnail

LCG has another outstanding week of presentations to the unconverted

 

After last week's disastrous attendance for Living Church of God "gospel" presentations,

These cities provided a potential field ripe for the harvest of 3,433,115 souls with only 68 people showing up. Of that 68 attendees at least 40-50 of them were LCG members padding the audience. One presentation had ZERO guests! More Record Shattering LCG Presentations

LCG presenters stepped up to the plate this week and broke all records for attendance. With two locations holding presentations, with a potential audience of 290,170, they were able to have 15 people attend. Of those 15 at least 1/2 to 3/4 were LCG members padding the meeting locations.

15 people! The work marches forward in POWER!

Things Bob Thiel never thinks about

Hey Mr. Bob, what cha doin'? Have you had any of these sweet dreams lately?

Crackpot COG Prophet Suffers Another Prophetic Setback As CERN Accelerator May Be Shut Down For A While

 

We need another particle accelerator. Don’t let these 5 myths fool you

Our very own Beto Bwana Bob was seen crying at the local Denny's today as news broke that the CERN Accelerator in Switzerland may need to shut down for a while due to the current energy crisis in Europe. Beto's dreams of coming nuclear war have been postponed yet again! 

CERN is considering 'idling' the Large Hadron Collider in response to Europe's energy crisis

Beto Bob has been hyperventilating for several years now that the CERN Accelerator was a sure sign of Armageddon. Beto Bob foresees the CERN Accelerator being used as a tool to design fusion bombs to kill Americans and British Israelite peoples.

Instead of some rogue “mad scientist,” suppose that the European consortium behind CERN will decide that it needs to develop such weapons for defensive and possibly offensive purposes.

Then suppose that they, consistent with various biblical prophecies (cf. Isaiah 10:5-12; Daniel 11:39) decide to use it against the USA and/or its British-descended allies.

Beto Bob went into an orgasmic mind warp when he went to see Dan Brown's movie, Angels and Demons which provided confirmation on the evils of the accelerator, at least in the warped mind of Beto Bob.

In May of 2009, Dan Brown’s movie, Angels & Demons, had antimatter captured from part of CERN ‘s Large Hadron Collider. Now it has happened because of the LHC:

In the movie, which I saw in Arroyo Grande (California), antimatter played an important role. In Angels & Demons. someone stole captured antimatter from CERN’s Large Hadron Collider on the behalf of one trying to be an antipope. Many considered antimatter only existing in science fiction and that the portrayal in the movie was impossible. Yet, the collection of anti-matter can now be considered to be a science fact–and can exist for significant amounts of time (it is my understanding that CERN stopped holding it after 17 minutes, not that 17 minutes is the limit to its existence).

Imagine being such a mind-boggling prophet, which was foreordained by God to rise up in the end times, that you need to get your "visions" from conspiracy-laden Dan Brown novels and a B-rated Hollywood movie.  How truly pathetic! Garbage novels equal garbage theologians.

Being the pathetic D-class prophet of the church it's pretty sad the lengths Beto Bwana Bob sinks to so he can scare his followers and gullible public. Beto Bob never tells anyone about China and Japan building even larger accelerators. It's the European one that concerns him. Since the Swiss speak German and have Germanic blood they will in turn use this accelerator in the end times to obliterate the United States and other British Israelite nations. After all, it's a German thing, remember? Pure unadulterated pig slop.

Being the pathetic swishy-washy non-committal prophet that he is, he weasels his way out with this:

Now if the Large Hadron Collider does have military potential, which I have long indicated that it does, all should understand that it is likely that the Europeans and not the Americans will benefit from it.

Historically, humans have seen that large physics projects tend to produce military weaponry.

The Large Hadron Collider is helping Europe get to the point it will have the technology it will need to temporarily ‘rule’ the world. There have been interesting developments from it so far and more are expected.

Presuming we see certain prophetic events unfold, I expect that the USA will be conquered by the end of 2028. Or sooner.

From intelligence that I have been able to gather from Swiss sources, the CERN people have their sights set on Grover Beach, CA as their first target when they start destroying the United States. They know that God's most superfantastical prophet lives there and must destroy him first before he becomes one of the two witless witnesses walking the streets of Jerusalem (Laura Weinland being the other one).

PS: Beto Bob sees as further proof of the evilness of this accelerator is that it has 3 "6's" in it logo.  666 = Beast Power (the COG bogeyman). 

Commercial Break: "Never Before Understood", by the COGs. The Book of Revelation

The author of Revelation was doing in his turbulent times what we do in ours. Trying to match up this or that political and/or religious leader with the times and creating a prophecy to tell the story of what is happening and what ultimately "will happen". With the outcome, of course, going to the good guys and in this case, the Jews and Jewish Christians during the sweep of Vespasian through the Levant and ultimately on to destroy Jerusalem in 70 CE. Did't quite work out that way. 

Only the passage of time shows what actually will happen, and in this the case of the Book of Revelation, did happen. Contrary to "I have read the end of the book and WE WIN!" I have read the end of the Book....and they lost.

Every age tries to figure out where it stands with its craziness and "end times" it seems. Seems we don't want to die and would prefer to "be changed in a moment, in a twinkling of an eye"!

I don't personally believe that anyone can "pre-dict" the future. But trying has become big biz. Some have the need to see themselves as prophets. They don't tend to do it well. Their prophecies tend to fail due to unforeseen circumstances. I believe we all or most all here can recall the days when Franz Joseph Strauss, as potential "Beast" visited AC and made it on to the cover of the PT. Alas...

Arch of Titus in Rome celebrating the his victory over Jerusalem in 70 CE

Revelation is "a Failed prohecy" in the sense that the Romans won the day with the destruction of Jerusalem and the Messiah, neither Jewish nor Jewish Christian returned at the end of three and a half years. Within that time from 70 to 73 when Masada fell, the Romans put an end to any hope of Messianic deliverance. 

Nero has often been thought to be "the Beast" and this may be possibly true in the minds of many in the day. "NERO" in Hebrew does spell out as 666. Some translations give 616  as the number of the Beast which translates into the more generic "Anti-Christ" evidently. Either way, it points towards the Caesars of 68 through 72 CE in the two years either side of the destruction of Jerusalem.  Nero died in June of '68.  

Rev 17:9 “This calls for a mind with wisdom. The seven heads are seven hills on which the woman sits. 10 They are also seven kings. Five have fallen, one is, the other has not yet come; but when he does come, he must remain for only a little while. 11 The beast who once was, and now is not, is an eighth king. He belongs to the seven and is going to his destruction.

In this prophetic scenerio,  the first 5 meaning, Julius Caesar (d. 44 BC), Augustus, Tiberius, Caligula, Claudius, Nero is the 6th and the one that "now is". Galba, who followed after Nero's suicide in '68, lasted just one year into '69 and is the 7th.   The "Beast" who once was and now, or not yet, is the 8th and part of the succession of the 7.  This can be seen as Vespasian who became Emperor in '71 declared so by his troops as his Son Titus destroyed Jerusalem during his return trip to Rome at Galba's assassination.  Testy times those!  

To give the times a fuller context, the complete 7 and beyond after the destruction of Jerusalem are 

FIVE ARE FALLEN

1.Julius Caesar (d. 44 BC)

2.Augustus

3.Tiberius

4.Caligula

5. Claudius

ONE IS

6.  Nero

YET TO COME FOR A SHORT SPACE

7. Galba

(Otho, Vitellius,)

(Vespasian was proclaimed Emperor in December of '69. Otho and Vitellius contested Vespasian's claim to the throne but didn't last but a few months each. The author of Revelation did not consider them players.  Vespasian is the eighth, and is of the seven, and goeth into perdition" Vespasian is to be the last ruler of Rome, the man of sin, the antichrist who will be destroyed by the Jewish Christ, but it didn't work out that way. )

The 8th that was and is not, yet is...

8. Vespasian

9.Titus

10.Domitian (d. 96 AD).

The Foreign Kings who supported Rome in the Armies against Jerusalem

12 “The ten horns you saw are ten kings who have not yet received a kingdom, but who for one hour will receive authority as kings along with the beast. 13 They have one purpose and will give their power and authority to the beast. 

And the Romans won. In this way the Prophecy of the Book of Revelation failed to deliver. 

14 They will wage war against the Lamb, but the Lamb will triumph over them because he is Lord of lords and King of kings—and with him will be his called, chosen and faithful followers.”

It's all fascinating of course. While agnostic at best in my views, I have always been and always will be fascinated with how we try to explain our world and the drama and trauma of political and religious intrigues and the Biblical view of how it all will work out even as it doesn't as we all might have hoped. 

Vespasian builds the Colosseum in Rome in '72 and finishes it during the rule of his son, Titus. 

(That passing of torches in both politics and religion from Father to Son has always been a perk of the position)
