To Summarize...
Ronald Weinland "Nothing I said would happen, happened. But it will!"
How can any serious Christian swallow this horse marlocky?
I do not think that Ronald Weinland truly understands the nature of his position.
Did the OT prophets sin? Did they make mistakes? Will the true Two Witnesses sin?
Yes, every prophet (except That Prophet : Jesus Christ) has sinned.
This is not the same as prophesying and having the prophecies fail. You will not find a single true prophet in the entirety of the whole bible, where
his prophecy failed.
Let's examine some OT scriptures, and see what it says when a prophet fails...
Deut 18:22 (KJV)
22 When a prophet speaketh in the name of the LORD, if the thing follow not, nor come to pass, thou shalt forgive him until he gets it
right.
Oh....wait, wrong bible, I think that was Ronald Weinland's bible.
Deut 18:22 (KJV)
22 When a prophet speaketh in the name of the LORD, if the thing follow not, nor come to pass, that is the thing which the LORD hath not spoken, but
the prophet hath spoken it presumptuously: thou shalt not be afraid of him.
One might have a basis for supporting RW, if a single thing he said came to pass. At least one would have a leg to stand on, but you when you consider
the monumental blunders BY HIS OWN ADMISSION where the 1st and 2nd Trumpet + Tribulation + Sealing of 144,000 HAVING NOT COME TO PASS. How can any
serious Christian accept any more teachings from this guy?
The COG-PKG should thrust him out onto the street...at least that would show they had an ounce of discernment.
Under OT rules, a prophet whose prophecy COMES TRUE, was put to death if he led the people away from God to false gods.
Note again, this is when the prophecy CAME TRUE. How much more serious is it when the prophet's prophecy fails??
There was a reason God commanded such a punishment, far from being cruel, it was the most merciful thing ever. To allow a false prophet to live would
allow that him to lead the whole nation astray, where they would eventually depart from God.
That was OT Israel, for NT Christians, the rules are different.
A NT Christian has many responsibilities. He should TRY THE SPIRITS. He is not expected to accept anything, any apostle or prophet says.
1 John 4:1 (KJV)
1 Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world.
The Philadelphian Christians were praised, because they TRIED (tested) the apostles, and tried the spirits, to see if they were true or false.
Rev 2:2 (KJV)
2 I know thy works, and thy labour, and thy patience, and how thou canst not bear them which are evil: and thou hast tried them which say they are
apostles [or phophets], and are not, and hast found them liars:
"tried" : from the Greek peirazo, it means to test, scrutinize, assay, examine, TO PROVE.
Now the supreme irony, is not that Ronald Weinland prophecies HAVE COME TRUE. It's just the opposite, they have PROVEN FALSE. And yet he still has
people following him Not only has he been PROVEN FALSE, he has been proven false BY HIS OWN ADMISSION.
A Christian is RESPONSIBLE for working out his or hers own salvation, and to not be led about like blind sheep into some pit.
Php 2:12 Wherefore, my beloved, as ye have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own
salvation with fear and trembling.
Most will not hear, most will not anoint their eyes so they can see. This is the Laodicean Condition. THEY ARE BLIND. They need someone who is sighted
to lead them out. (and I don't mean me)
Is the Sabbath true? Yes.
Are the Holy Days true? Yes.
Take that truth and flee.
