What if Ron isn’t a Prophet?

April 9, 2009

There’s a part of me that hopes Ron Weinland is a prophet. That part wants to see the end come – the sooner the better.

The other part of me hopes he’s not, because I’m afraid of the end – the unknown. I’ve got a fairly easy life. I have all the food I need (and more), a nice house, great family, good health. Everything one could want. I don’t want to give that up for the unknown.

But let’s say for a minute, he’s a fraud. Maybe he knows it, maybe he doesn’t.

Can we still learn from him?

Independent of whether he’s a prophet, I believe he preaches some biblical truth. I think he’s right about the seventh day sabbath, the trinity (being false), easter (being false), God’s directions to observe the passover and a number of other doctrines.

Ron re-affirmed my distaste for the Roman Catholic Church and the way it has polluted Christianity. Mind you I have nothing against Catholics personally, I married one. I just don’t like the reigion.

But I’m afraid that if Ron is a false prophet that the truths he teaches will be tainted by the relationship to Ron. People will say “Oh that Ron Weinland preached seventh day sabbath, and look how he turned out to be false! He must have been wrong about what God wants.”

So if he’s wrong, will he have done more bad than good for the Church of God?
