This of course is nonsense. Herbert W. Armstrong said that Christ would return within twenty years in his book Mystery of the Ages. (PCG has since deleted those words so someone in there knows HWA spoke nonsense.) How convenient for them to forget this.
Also Herbert W. Armstrong never said the Soviet Union would collapse. He thought it would survive intact until a few years after Christ's return. It shows how biased some many in the COGs are that they never seem to notice this. This inconvenient truth is just tossed into the memory hole.
It is true that HWA said that some Eastern European states would break away from Moscow's orbit and join the European Empire he said would arise at any moment. But he never talked of the Soviet Union collapsing. He did not teach that. Also he portrayed the rise of the European Empire to be far quicker then what has actually happened. In Mystery of the Ages Christ was supposed to return by 2005 at the most.
So assertions that the fall of the Berlin Wall somehow prove that HWA was right is just complete nonsense spread by people who, for whatever reason, are still in denial that HWA was a false prophet who merely talked out of his own "human reasoning".
I think he is
ReplyDelete...not "that prophet" at all.
ReplyDeleteWhat happened to the warning against deception in the "latter days?"
ReplyDeleteHere comes Herbert Armstrong claiming it's the latter days, and that he's preaching something no one else has preached for 1,900 years, and people gush over the guy as if he's not meeting the qualifications of the prophecy regarding deception.
I mean, just look at I TIM. 4: 1-4
"1 Now the Spirit expressly says that in latter times [which HWA said had come] some will depart from the faith [he certainly was a departure], giving heed to deceiving spirits and doctrines of demons, 2 speaking lies in hypocrisy [he taught the law, but only parts of it, and didn't practice what he preached], having their own conscience seared with a hot iron, 3 forbidding to marry [divorce and remarriage!!], and commanding to abstain from foods [meats laws] which God created to be received with thanksgiving by those who believe and know the truth."
Come on, how blind were we?
And now here come a herd of his cattle, spreading their bovine scatology everywhere they go, every last one of them claiming to be this or that important fulfillment of prophecy [false prophets], and people still can't seem to get enough of it.
The mind boggles.
