Weinland Still Says 2008 Was God’s Final Witness

VS.

Yesterday, Ronald Weinland preached in Richmond, Virginia. There were a couple of relevant comments. He stated that some have asked him if he will pull the book he wrote titled 2008 God’s Final Witness, since 2008 is “outdated”.

He said that he would not because he stated:

2008…It’s important to understand that WAS God’s final witness…And when the book came out, we couldn’t make uh really fit to day is WAS God’s final witness because of the timing it came out.

Now this is disingenuous. In 2007 and early 2008, Ronald Weinland claimed that 2008 was it. That he would rise up in April 2008, that the USA would be nuked by mid-June 2008, that the USA dollar would be worthless around then, that the USA would likely not have a presidential election in 2008, but that if it was able to do so that a new president would not take office in January 2009.

He did NOT go around teaching that the main issue in 2008 would be that he gave a final witness. After all, he still claims that he is one of God’s two witnesses and his wife is the other one.

But, although he has impact on the internet, he is basically an unknown and ignored witness. In his sermon he also mentioned that his early book The Prophesied End Time would be unavailable for a while and that people had one week to download it from the internet. He indicated that it would be back again, but he did not indicate if he would revise it.

In his sermon, he also mentioned that a family in the Richmond area left his group. Hopefully, all who will compare his teachings to what he has said, what has and has not happened, as well as with the Bible, they will see that Ron Weinland is and has been a false prophet.

I believe that Ronald Weinland (and people like him) fulfill the following prophecy:

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. And many will follow their destructive ways, because of whom the way of truth will be blasphemed. 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).

Sadly, false prophets, false apostles, and other false teachers continue to arise and make it so people simply will blaspheme the way of truth that we in the Living Church of God teach. Unlike those of us in the Living Church of God who believe Jesus is God, Ronald Weinland is also “unitarian“–hence he truly does deny the truth about the Lord.

But despite people like Ronald Weinland, there still is a true and faithful Church of God. Please do not let self-appointed “prophets” like Ronald Weinland cause you to not pay attention.

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.
