Yesterday, I received the following (which I did not edit) from a COG elder (no specific affiliation was mentioned, but I believe he is or was part of Church of God Fellowship-a group that had origins in GCG) named Dean Greer: In addition to Usher’s and other chronology there is an additional conformation that we […]

S. Collins: There is a 6,000 Year Plan
One article in the latest “The Journal” that I found of interest was by Steven Collins. Steven Collins was formerly with UCG, but The Journal currently only identified him as “a Church of God” member. Now while I do not agree with most of the writings I have seen from Steven Collins, I did feel that the […]

TRANSFORMED FROM TRUTH Last night, WCG forwarded the following from its J. Tkach titled “Courageous – or Coward in Christ?“: When Jesus was arrested, those who had so vigorously promised to support him to the end denied him or ran away and watched from a safe distance. But let’s not be too critical. Would we […]
ICG on the Current Middle East Situation
In last night’s update, ICG’s Mark Armstrong reported: I can hardly write this Update without making reference to the most recent rant by Iran’s president Ahmadinejad. In a wildly contradictory statement, he said that his nation loves all nations and all peoples, but that Israel “cannot continue to live.” I’m surprised the warped ayatollahs can […]
