The Continuing Church of God is pleased to announce this sermon from its ContinuingCOGchannel:
In this sermon Dr. Thiel mainly asks questions he has recently encountered. Questions were asked and addressed about the opening of the second seal of Revelation and its timing in relation to the Great Tribulation and the ‘gathering together’ (Zephaniah 2:1-3). Questions were asked and answered related to Solomon, Canaan (and it Jesus was a black African), angels, the unpardonable sin & Freemasonry, Samson’s long hair, if the Sabbath has been lost, the risks and ‘medical benefits’ of marijuana (including CBD oil), how far Christians should go in telling others about the truth of God, and whether or not wine (as opposed to grape juice) was discussed/used in the Old and New Testaments. The ‘baptism by fire’ and the ‘synagogue of Satan’ were also discussed.
