I had planned on doing something different this week. I had wanted to do a year in review and a look ahead for various COG organizations. I was hoping to make it humorous. I was hoping to make it light-hearted. I failed. Very little of it came out actually humorous. …
There are a few who claim to know what the seven thunders of Revelation 10 say. Specifically, Gerald Flurry, Pastor General of the Philadelphia Church of God (PCG) seems to believe it is outlined in his book Malachi’s Message. Well, what do you think? Does this make sense? Is it…

Hello, it’s your tongue-in-cheek COG reporter here with another COG News item. Gerald Flurry must be livid. He’s been outfoxed by another false prophet. False prophet Ronald Weinland is at it again. First, he spewed out: God’s Church cannot be organized into many fragmented groups with differing ideas of government…
Christmas was not among the earliest festivals of the Church. Irenaeus and Tertullian omit it from their lists of feasts; Origen, glancing perhaps at the discreditable imperial Natalitia, asserts (in Lev.
