I got the title for this post from the mouth of Wayne Matthews. He said that people don't really want to hear the truth. His sermon today had the theme of IN THE TRUTH THERE IS NO LIE, which is a quote I mentioned in my You Have Crossed The Line rebuttal to RW's "Jesus lied" sermon.
Here's an ironic comment acting-prophet Matthews made:
"
Religion is the greatest culprit of all when it comes to lying." That statement also applies to the leader(s) of the COG-PKG.(and any other preacher that puts a bible in front of him and starts babbling)
He doesn't have the anger in his voice like RW, but he does dwell in the old testament. All preachers who dwell in the old testament deny the power of the Master who bought them. They don't even know the name of God.
The old testament priests obfuscated the Name because they eventually decided it was too holy to be pronounced, thus paving the way to "forget the name of God". The recent use of Yahway or yahweh or yahovah or jehovah etc, were all conceived by trying to guess what YHWH meant.
The Name of God is plainly declared in the new testament. Jesus drew attention to the Name by his sacrifice. YHWH = Jesus, which is english for Yeshu the short form of Yeshua or Joshua in Hebrew. Because I speak english I pronounce it Jesus. I don't use hebrew words because I don't speak Hebrew. Ditto for Greek and Latin. We are supposed to preach plainly, not diverting with exotic words to look important and wise. When a Jew says "sabbath" or "messiah", does he say it in english with the rest of his sentence in hebrew? Why should an english speaking preacher use words not pronounced in english?
The bible is all about the "Name" of the author of life, and Jesus came here to glorify his name. Jesus said "
I have manifested your name". Jesus Christ is the only name by which you can be saved. Do all these preachers think that God is a little slow, and won't understand that yeesoos or heysoos means Jesus? When they try to be perceived as wise they end up looking foolish.
The "temp" then said:
"To those who refuse to believe the truth that God has revealed to his church, the church of god PKG, God calls you a liar."You say God calls me a liar because I do not believe Ron and Laura are prophets. I say you are a liar who has been deceived by Ronald Weinland. You say I will surely die within the next three years. I know that where ever I am, at any given time, I am protected by the love of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, Son of the Living God. Now that's what I call faith. And I didn't learn that in any church, or from the mouth of a preacher in a pulpit.
Here is a fitting scripture from the testimony of Jesus Christ:
And if a house is divided against itself, that house will not be able to stand.Wayne Matthews said
"All truth comes from God, so everything that Jesus Christ spoke was true." But Ronald Weinland said in a sermon a few weeks ago, when Jesus said
"I am He", he didn't really mean it, it wasn't true. From that I see there is a little division in Ronald's house...and a house divided will not stand, and is coming to an end.
WM speaks of Jesus and God and quotes scriptures, but he glorifies and promotes a man who declares himself a prophet and says Jesus lied so the Jews would believe what they wanted to believe. Would a real prophet of God tell others he is a prophet? Well lets take a look at the last prophet recorded in the bible: John the baptist. Did he declare that he was a prophet? No!
As the people were in expectation, and all were questioning in their hearts concerning John, whether he might be the ChristLuke 3:15 clearly shows that John did not declare he was a prophet. If he had told them he was a prophet, they would not have questioned in their hearts whether he might be the Christ. And of course in John 1:21
"Are you the prophet?" And he answered 'No'.
That may seem straightforward to you and I, but the PKG'ers would retort that is not what "
the" prophet means. If they asked JtB if he was "
a" prophet, then I would be right. But since the word "
the" is used, I am wrong and I don't get it.
That is how they divert the discussion away to another subject. At least that is my impression of them after trying to carry out a
reasonable discussion of scripture with an anonymous member.
Ronald Weinland proclaimed that he is a prophet of God. He is not. He seeks his own glory. He lives in luxury. This next scripture fully applies to Ronald Weinland and those who glorify him.
This people honours me with their lips, but their heart is far from me; in vain do they worship me, teaching as doctrines the precepts of men--
Mat 15:8-9If Ronald Weinland was a true prophet of God, he would not be absent from a sabbath day preaching opportunity. He is only a man living in luxury, with delusions of holding a prophetship; but being denied prophethood on account of
lies, lies, and more lies.
