"1Ti 6:3 If anyone teaches a different doctrine and does not agree with the sound words of our Lord Jesus Christ and the teaching that accords with godliness, 1Ti 6:4 he is puffed up with conceit and understands nothing."
as righteous judgement against Ronald Weinland, a false prophet who is deceived and deceiving.(Or he is a con artist raking in the money like his deceased mentor, HWA.) The words in the Bible wins hands down!
And now, on with the show. From the Netherlands, False Prophet Ronald Weinland continued twisting the Word, with his two hour reading of 1 John chapter 4. Two hours to read three paragraphs! That's because it had to be explained as to what it really means, instead of what it says in plain english. It fittingly starts with "Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are of God; for many false prophets have gone out into the world. By this you know the Spirit of God: every spirit which confesses that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is of God, and every spirit which does not confess Jesus is not of God. This is the spirit of antichrist, of which you heard that it was coming, and now it is in the world already."
Ron deflects the conscious minds of his listeners away from understanding plain english, by using his standard sorcery with the old "come in the flesh" trick. Here is his method:
"Prophet Weinland" says the Bible is full of horrible translation errors, and "come in the flesh" really means "coming in the flesh". Ron wants you to believe that anyone who confesses that Jesus is coming in the flesh, is of God. (has "come in my flesh", or He is living inside of me, is what it really means.) This is how he deceives you. He changes a word in a sentence which causes you to think about that change instead of the printed words. The Bible was translated into english by people with PhD's. They were scholars who studied foreign languages, but Ron wants you to believe that he is a much more learned scholar than the twenty or thirty (or hundreds) professors that did the original translations. These translations were compared to the ancient manuscripts by modern day Professors and they did not find any notable discrepancies. But since Ron is God and Ron's word is infallable, you will listen to him and ignore the true words along with all his failed prophecies, which have not happened and will not happen. Why? Because he is a false prophet, just like in the first sentence of 1 John 4.(which Ron took two hours to read so he could use all that time to muddle your minds, and keep you from the truth so you will keep giving him money)
Now here is what your Bible says:
At the time of Jesus the Jews were waiting for the Messiah to "come in the flesh" and in the likeness of mankind (from Spirit of God to flesh of man). This is what in the flesh means. He has come in the flesh. He is here. He is among mankind "in the flesh". Jesus came in the flesh two thousand years ago. He left in the flesh two thousand years ago.
Ron says it is a mistranslation. Well let us look at Ronald Weinland's puffed up knowledge versus 25 different english translations.

What's going on here? Ronald Weinland cannot and will not say that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh. What does the Bible say about those who will not say Jesus has come in the flesh? Read it.
1 John 4:3 and every spirit which does not confess Jesus is not of God. This is the spirit of antichrist, of which you heard that it was coming, and now it is in the world already.
The word "coming" was used in that sentence, Ron. So all those translators, ancient and modern, know the difference between the words come and coming!
The only thing wrong with the Bible translation is the person who is preaching it. Or should I say the person who is supposed to be preaching it, instead of twisting the words around and around till they mean nothing of what they were intended.
Ronald Weinland uses your money to travel the world preaching the gospel? With the internet available to us, why does he need to travel? Does he lay his hands on the sick to cure them, growing arms and legs, and curing cancer? Can he walk on water? No, but he sure can gather in the tithes. You are paying Ronald Weinland to lie to you, and hide the true gospel of Jesus Christ from you. Jesus' gospel is the promise of eternal life. HWA and his son Teddy are rotting in the ground, not having received the promise of Life. Ronald Weinland is a whitewashed tomb.
Ron says Mother Theresa was selfishly motivated. What is selfish about living in filth and helping the filthy? I've never met her and I bet Ron never did either. But she was wrong too because she is dead. I'm going to stop now. I'm pretty sure I got my point across about Jesus Christ has come in the flesh. False Prophet Ronald Weinland has taken up enough of my time today, but if even
Gal 1:9 As we have said before, so now I say again: If anyone is preaching to you a gospel contrary to the one you received, let him be accursed.
This one is just for Ron and his die-hards:
Acts 7:54 Now when they heard these things they were enraged, and they ground their teeth at him.
