The Earth Is Flat! So Says the "Obedient" Church of "god"


 

We have known for decades that Church of God members easily fall for most conspiracy theories and off-the-wall teachings by lunatic self-appointed ministers and other false teachers.

One thing that has always surprised me is how many COG folk believe the earth is flat.  The Obedient Church of God is one of those crazy groups.


Re: Why there are no photos of the edge of the earth.

BTW God says there are 4 angels AT the 4 “CORNERS” of the earthThen I saw four angels standing at the four corners of the earth,... Revelations 7:1

You cannot have “CORNERS” on a ball!

Therefore the earth is flat.

space photos ?


*** All the space photos of the earth that you see are fake. They will not even let the Hubble Telecsope ever to point toward the earth. They won’t even try, and make the phony excuse that the earth is spinning too fast. But they say that they can make phony pictures of the 1000 mile per hour spinning earth from a space ship right beside the Hubble.

 

And they never point the Hubble Telescope to point back to the earth, because they hide the flat earth from the public every way they can. They could simply turn down the magnification of the Hubble digitally to photograph the earth, and still take microsecond shots of the earth because they claim it is spinning, but they refuse to, so they can hide the FACT that the earth is flat.

 

 

    how come we never got to see the earth on edge?

You are FORBIDDEN to go to the edge.

 

They forbid you to go to the edge.

And because the balloon is near the Northern center of the earth, "NOT" outside of the flat earth. You are NOT allowed to fly in a plane or a balloon to the edge of the earth, or you will be shot down and put in prison if you are still alive.

And even if you wanted to go to Antarctica and cross over to the edge of the earth, they do not allow anyone to travel throughout across Antarctica.

You will be locked up if you try to travel to the edge past the little settlements on the Coasts of Antarctica.

AND

They NEVER allow you to fly past the beginning Coasts of Antarctica

They NEVER allow you to fly to the OUTSIDE EDGE, PAST THE COASTS of Antarctica.

There is NO Flight allowed to fly over Antarctic. 

You can only fly along the Coasts of Antarctica and never into or past the interior. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FaskijW7x9I

      

They do not let you to fly over Antarctica just like they do not allow the Hubble telescope to ever point at the moon to see the US flag that was NEVER placed on the moon because they never went to the moon. Stanley Kubrick made all the PHONY moon landing films.

 

All pictures of a round earth are fake.


One thing we all seem to forget is that Armstrongism has produced some of the greatest minds on earth today! The amazing intellect of some COG members is astounding!

Obedient Church of God: You Ministers Have Made Yourselves Vomit Material And Other Craziness

 


It has been some time since I have heard anything from the Obedient Church of God. They almost make Bob Thiel look normal.

There is nothing normal about this group, in fact, they are crazier than Thiel, Pack, Flurry, and Weinland combined!

Notice their calendar for April 2024 above and look at April 23. Apparently, you were supposed to eat Bread, lamb, horseradish and drink wine 10 minutes before sundown on that day. After all, the Israelites hastily left Egypt in 10 minutes and so shouldn't you!




For the next several days, you must examine "your year's dedication". All that is good if you survive the attack on the U.S. and Canada that might be happening.

The problem exists that this only works IF you start keeping these days on the CORRECT day! Only the Obedient Church of God knows teh correct day. Eat your heart out Bob Thiel! Everyone knows more than you do. Ha! Ha!


They have an absolute conniption over the International Dateline. They claim COG ministers who use the IDL to calculate make members work on the Sabbath, particularly in Australia and New Zealand.


They do go on to make a rather accurate statement about today's Church of God ministry and leaders.



That pretty much sums up the current ministry and leadership of the COG. God has vomited them out.

They have a stern warning to all disobedient Church of God ministers and leaders:

Samuel Martin: Ending Corporal Punishment Of Children



One of the sad legacies of Armstrongism was the oftentimes violent methods of corporal punishment used upon church children and teens. The Mt Pocono Feast site in its early years almost was shut down because of the beating of children. Members of the public who came to check out the weird church heard and witnessed parents beating their kids in the official Spanking Tent.

The minister we had in Cincinnati, Ohio (Carn Catherwood) said that a child must get 20 hard swats with a thick paddle and that he expected to hear them crying afterward. He also instructed the local Spokesman Club to sell 1-inch thick paddles with holes drilled in it to cut down wind resistance. They did this as a fundraiser. Imagine raising money off beating children! 

Samuel Martin. some of the late Earnest Martin has been on a decades-long crusade to end corporal punishment of children. 

This is his latest book:


STRATEGIES TO EMPOWER CHRISTIAN FAMILIES CONCERNING ENDING THE CORPORAL PUNISHMENT OF CHILDREN: 
 
DEALING WITH OPPOSITION FROM SPOUSES AND EXTENDED FAMILIES CONCERNING THE SUBJECT OF SPANKING CHILDREN

The subject of corporal punishment (spanking/smacking) is one which causes serious challenges in families especially when one spouse is in favor of spanking/smacking, while the other is not. 
 
This issue creates serious tension between husbands and wives and in extended families and communities who pressure parents to spank/smack their children. 
 
Christian families who choose not to spank may face loneliness, isolation and serious opposition to their decision to pursue peaceful parenting. 
 
In some families, where spanking/smacking has been taking place for generations, the choice not to spank/smack by one of the parents may create situations in a marriage where major tension exists surrounding the subject of spanking/smacking. 
 
This research study seeks to empower Christian spouses who have taken the often difficult decision not to spank/smack to provide them with simple Bible based tools to engage their spouses, extended families and communities thoughtfully concerning this most difficult subject. 
 
This research study delves into God's Word in a deep but practical way to provide those in favor of peaceful parenting with Bible based teachings to help them engage with those around them who still believe in spanking/smacking. 
 
This research study is based on almost 20 years of feedback that the author has received from scores of Christian families who have decided on a new path for their parenting journey that seeks to leave the experience of spanking/smacking behind. 
 
The research study provides practical specific Bible based information to help Christian families engage the subject of spanking/smacking in a mature and thoughtful way with the goal of growing peace and love in our homes.
