Ronald Weinland at Idea City

VS.

When I posted about Ronald Weinland’s latest letter today, I left out the following:

ideaCity:
A little over a week ago (on Thursday morning) I had interviews with two stations in Toronto, as presenters for ideaCity are being interviewed in the city’s anticipation of this special tenth anniversary event. This is the beginning of a new phase of recognition of God’s two witnesses (although it is only very slight at this time). It is indeed a unique and welcomed experience. Rather than being treated with attitudes that can be challenging, confrontational, disbelieving, irreverent, and at times condescending, there indeed seems to be a shift beginning to take place in which the message (and messenger) are beginning to be treated with greater respect. Of course the other attitudes will always exist, but as God begins to work with larger numbers of people, through a process of drawing them closer to the truth, His message (and messengers) will begin to be treated with greater sobriety and genuine respect.

I later told my family that any respect that Ronald Weinland was paid by journalists was probably simply because he was a speaker at ideaCity and that the journalists probably were unaware of Ronald Weinland’s track record of false and failed prophecies.

But I wondered why Ronald Weinland did not say anything in this morning’s post about what happened at ideaCity.

Well apparently he did today in his sermon. As I did not take the time to listen to it, I will quote what Dill Weed said about it:

Ron was laughed at Idea City. He was laughed at by ‘prideful, haughty people.’ Yeah, right.

While Ronald Weinland does not deserve the respect that a true prophet should receive, he still apparently fails to realize that his false predictions and comments cast a negative shadow to many concerning the Bible, prophecies, and the true Church of God–all of which I feel that he has problems with.

A major prophecy that I have long been saying that Ronald Weinland fulfills is the following:

2:1 But there were also false prophets among the people, even as there will be false teachers among you, who will secretly bring in destructive heresies, even denying the Lord who bought them, and bring on themselves swift destruction. 2 And many will follow their destructive ways, because of whom the way of truth will be blasphemed. 3 By covetousness they will exploit you with deceptive words; for a long time their judgment has not been idle, and their destruction does not slumber (2 Peter 2:1-3).

Perhaps his followers will realize that they too are assisting him fulfill this and reconsider their situations.

Some articles that will help you, your followers, and others interested in end-time prophecy would include the following:

Concerns About Ronald Weinland’s Church of God-Preparing for the Kingdom of God Ronald Weinland falsely claims to be one of the two witnesses God is raising up and that the end will come in 2008 (first April 17th, then June 2008, now December 14, 2008). Why is he a false prophet? He also has at least one other view that suggests that he is not part of the Church of God.
Can the Great Tribulation Begin in 2009, 2010, or 2011? Can the Great Tribulation begin today? When is the earliest that the Great Tribulation can begin? What is the Day of the Lord?
Who Are The Two Witnesses? What is their job? What does the Bible reveal? What has the Church of God taught on this subject? Might even Roman Catholic prophecies give some clues here?
