Bible News Prophecy with Dr Bob Thiel Continuing Church Of God 45 Scripture, Tradition, and the Warning Against Adding to God’s Word Introducing the Debate Over Scripture and Tradition In this episode of Bible News Prophecy, Steve Dupuie introduces Dr. Bob Thiel for a discussion about whether “traditions of men” are still being added to the Bible as doctrine. The conversation begins with comments attributed to Pope Leo XIV about the relationship between sacred scripture and sacred tradition, including the Catholic claim that scripture and tradition are closely linked and contribute to the salvation of souls. Dr. Thiel challenges that idea immediately, arguing that the phrase “sacred tradition” is not found in the Bible and that Scripture repeatedly warns against adding to or taking away from God’s Word. Warnings Against Adding to Scripture Dr. Thiel cites passages from Deuteronomy, Proverbs, and Revelation to argue that God’s people are not permitted to add to divine revelation. He emphasizes Revelation 22, where warnings are given against adding to or taking away from the words of prophecy. From his perspective, religious groups that elevate additional writings, church traditions, or later doctrinal developments risk putting human authority above the Word of God. He also briefly mentions other groups, including Latter-day Saints, Seventh-day Adventists, Protestants, and Messianic Jews, as examples of communities he believes may accept later traditions or teachings in ways that compete with Scripture. Challenging Catholic Claims About Tradition The discussion then focuses more directly on Roman Catholic teaching. Dr. Thiel references the Catholic view that holy tradition transmits the Word of God entrusted to the apostles, but he argues that Catholic, Eastern Orthodox, Protestant, and other traditions often accept later developments that were not part of the original apostolic teaching. He rejects the idea that tradition can stand on equal authority with Scripture. For Dr. Thiel, the proper Christian position is that the Bible alone must be the final authority for doctrine, correction, salvation, and righteous instruction. Paul’s Warnings About Tradition and False Teachers Dr. Thiel uses Paul’s letters to support his position, especially 2 Timothy 3, where Scripture is described as able to make a person wise for salvation and thoroughly equip the servant of God for every good work. He argues that Paul points believers to Scripture, not tradition, as the source of doctrine and spiritual completeness. He also references Colossians 2:8, where Paul warns against philosophy and empty deceit according to human tradition, and 2 Corinthians 11, where Paul warns about false apostles and deceitful workers. Dr. Thiel concludes that Christians must be alert to teachings that appear religious but are not grounded in the Bible. Jesus, the Pharisees, and Traditions of Men A major section of the episode centers on Jesus’ confrontation with the Pharisees in Matthew 15 and Mark 7. Dr. Thiel explains that Jesus criticized the religious leaders for elevating the tradition of the elders in a way that made God’s commandments ineffective. He also quotes Jesus’ statement that people can honor God with their lips while their hearts remain far from Him, teaching human commandments as doctrine. Dr. Thiel connects this back to Isaiah 29 and argues that both the Old and New Testaments warn against replacing God’s commands with religious customs, even when those customs are old or widely accepted. Scripture as the Final Measure of Truth The episode closes with Dr. Thiel emphasizing that doctrine should be built line upon line from Scripture, not from tradition layered upon tradition. He refers to Melito of Sardis as an early figure who warned against blindly following inherited customs when those customs are wrong. Dr. Thiel concludes that traditions may have historical interest, but they must always be judged by the Bible and never placed beside or above it as equal authority. Steve Dupuie then closes the program by directing listeners to Bible News Prophecy and the Continuing Church of God for additional materials.

Bible News Prophecy with Dr Bob Thiel Scoffers, Sorrows, and the Weather Warnings of Prophecy Continuing Church of God 52 Earthquakes, Troubles, and the Beginning of Sorrows In this episode of the Bible News Prophecy Program, hosts Steve Dupuie and Dr. Bob Thiel discuss whether people mock the things Jesus prophesied, especially warnings about earthquakes, famines, pestilences, and troubles. Dr. Thiel begins with Matthew 24 and Mark 13, saying Jesus described these events as the “beginning of sorrows.” He then points to recent earthquake reports involving Venezuela, Japan, and Northern California, presenting them as examples of the kinds of troubles he believes align with biblical prophecy. Mockery, Anti-Christian Criticism, and Prophetic Response Steve asks how tragic earthquakes relate to people mocking Christians, and Dr. Thiel explains that after he wrote about the Venezuela earthquakes and said those affected were in his prayers, an anti-Christian or apostate website criticized him and mocked his use of Mark 13:8. Dr. Thiel says the site dismissed the prophetic meaning of earthquakes by appealing to seismometer counts and normal fluctuation. He argues that increased seismometers do not explain the devastation of major quakes, and he connects the mockery itself to biblical warnings about deception and scoffers in the last days. Peter’s Warning About Scoffers in the Last Days Dr. Thiel then turns to 2 Peter 3, reading and discussing the passage that warns scoffers will come in the last days, walking according to their own desires and saying that all things continue as they always have. He applies that passage to people who dismiss prophecy and treat modern troubles as ordinary events without spiritual meaning. He emphasizes Peter’s teaching that God’s timing is not human timing, that the Lord is longsuffering, and that the day of the Lord will come unexpectedly. For Dr. Thiel, these verses show that mockery of prophecy is itself part of the prophetic pattern. Heat Waves, Europe, and Weather as a Warning The conversation shifts from earthquakes to weather. Dr. Thiel refers to his earlier book 2012 and the Rise of the Secret Sect, where he wrote about odd weather patterns, natural disasters, and the beginning of sorrows. He cites reports about record-breaking European heat, including extreme temperatures in France and heat-related deaths in Spain, and frames these events as additional warning signs. He argues that the repeated breaking of heat records should not simply be dismissed as normal, but should be considered in light of biblical prophecy and calls to repentance. Amos, Calamity, and Weather-Related Blessings or Curses Steve asks what scriptures skeptics should consider, and Dr. Thiel answers by turning to passages from Amos. He quotes Amos 3 to argue that God is involved in calamity and reveals His purposes through His servants, the prophets. He then discusses Amos 4, where God withholds rain, sends rain on one city and not another, and uses agricultural troubles such as blight, mildew, and locusts as warnings to people who still do not return to Him. Dr. Thiel uses these passages to argue that weather is not as random as many believe, but can function as a divine warning. A Call to Pay Attention and Repent In his closing comments, Dr. Thiel says scoffers ignore what God has prophesied about weather and refuse to repent. He warns listeners not to adopt the same disregard for Jesus’ words or biblical prophecy. While he acknowledges that many people will continue to see unusual weather as ordinary natural variation, he argues that severe, weird, and odd weather patterns are part of God’s warning message. Steve closes by thanking Dr. Thiel and directing listeners to BibleNewsProphecy.net for more interviews, articles, audio content, and Continuing Church of God resources.

Bible News Prophecy, July 4, 2026

Bible News Prophecy with Dr Bob Thiel Disclosure Day - Is Your Faith Shaken Disclosure Day – the movie. Will your faith as a Christian be shaken to its very core by watching this fictional movie? Steven Spielberg, the producer thinks so. What is this movie about anyway? Aliens from outer space. Yes, aliens. The producer of Disclosure Day has faith that your faith in God will come into doubt after you watch this movie. Is that even possible? Or is that laughable since those who wish can prove that God exists? Can you even begin to imagine that a fictional movie about aliens, produced by a human being could even begin to shake your belief in the Creator of the universe? Remember that the Apostle Paul warned "that in the last days perilous times will come ... evil men and impostors will grow worse and worse, deceiving and being deceived" (2 Timothy 3:1,13). Even 'Scientific American' has written that the Disclosure Day movie is "not scientific," but that Steven "Spielberg is working on feelings he’s had since [he was] a child." Have beings from another world, another dimension visited planet earth? What about angels and demons? When Jesus returns, will the nations of the world fight against Him and the angels that come down out of heaven with Him? Might some think that Jesus and His angels are invading aliens? Should you expect to see more claims of ‘verified’ ‘paranormal’ activity beyond what is in movies like Disclosure Day? Watch this video as Dr. Thiel shines the light of Biblical truth on the real Disclosure Day, and real spirit aliens, and your faith.

Bible News Prophecy with Dr Bob Thiel Scoffers, Shaking Earth, and Weather Warnings: Reading Trouble Through Bible Prophecy Continuing Church of God 51 Prophecy, News, and the Question of Mockery In this episode of Bible News Prophecy, hosts Steve Dupuie and Dr. Bob Thiel discuss whether people mock the prophecies Jesus gave about famines, pestilences, earthquakes, troubles, and the beginning of sorrows. Steve opens by referencing Jesus’ words in Matthew 24 and Mark 13, then asks Dr. Thiel about recent events that he believes fit within that prophetic framework. The episode centers on the claim that earthquakes, severe heat, and related disasters should not be dismissed as ordinary events, but viewed as warnings connected to biblical prophecy. Earthquakes in Venezuela, Japan, and California Dr. Thiel points to a series of recent earthquake-related reports, including what he describes as a rare earthquake doublet in Venezuela on June 24, followed by a major tremor off Japan’s northeastern coast and a magnitude 5.6 earthquake in Northern California. He emphasizes the reported scale of destruction, injuries, missing persons, power outages, and unusual historical strength of the Venezuelan quakes. For Dr. Thiel, these disasters connect directly to Jesus’ statements that earthquakes would occur in various places as part of the beginning of sorrows. Responding to Scoffers and Critics The discussion then turns to criticism Dr. Thiel says he received from an anti-Christian or apostate website after he wrote about the Venezuelan earthquakes and said those affected were in his prayers. He says the website mocked him for connecting the quakes to Mark 13 and argued that earthquake reporting has increased mainly because of more seismometers and faster disaster communication. Dr. Thiel rejects that argument, saying increased measuring equipment does not explain devastation, casualties, missing people, or the unusual severity of specific events. He also connects the criticism to biblical warnings about deception, scoffers, and people rejecting prophecy. Peter’s Warning About the Last-Days Scoffers Dr. Thiel then reads and comments on a long passage from 2 Peter 3, where Peter warns that scoffers will come in the last days and claim that things continue as they always have. Dr. Thiel interprets this as a direct description of people who dismiss prophetic warnings by saying earthquakes, heat waves, and disasters are normal fluctuations. He emphasizes Peter’s teaching that God’s timing is not human timing, that the Lord is not slack concerning His promises, and that believers should respond with holy conduct, godliness, repentance, peace, and readiness for the coming day of God. Heat Waves, Europe, and Weather as a Warning The program also addresses record-breaking heat in Europe, including reports of extreme temperatures in France and heat-related deaths in Spain. Dr. Thiel says that odd weather patterns and natural disasters are part of the beginning of sorrows and notes that he had written about such trends in his 2009 book 2012 and the Rise of the Secret Sect. He argues that recent weather extremes should serve as a wake-up call, not merely as secular climate or statistical events. The episode presents severe weather as one of the ways God warns humanity. Amos, Repentance, and God’s Control of Weather Dr. Thiel closes by turning to the book of Amos, where he says God describes withholding rain, sending rain on one city and not another, bringing blight, mildew, locusts, and other hardships, yet the people still did not return to Him. He uses this passage to argue that weather is not as random as people often believe and that biblical prophecy connects weather-related trouble to a call for repentance. The episode ends by warning listeners not to disregard Jesus’ words, biblical prophecy, or the moral and spiritual meaning Dr. Thiel sees in severe weather and natural disasters.

Bible News Prophecy with Dr Bob Thiel and Steve Dupuie Prophetic Scoffers and Earthquakes Jesus prophesied that there would be earthquakes in various places, as well as troubles, during the 'beginning of sorrows' in Mark 13:8. After a rare 'earthquake doublet' in Venezuela and a major quake in Japan, while Europe was experiencing record heat, Dr. Thiel reminded people what Jesus prophesied in a post. An anti-Christian website scoffed and mocked Dr. Thiel's post, basically by saying such occurrences were normal and that Jesus' words in Mark 13:8 were not related. The Apostle Peter warned that there would be scoffers in the last days who would assert that things were normal while ignoring prophecies. The prophet Isaiah also warned of those who would tell prophets to not prophesy, but say "smooth things." The Bible says that God controls the weather, and His prophet Amos wrote that God uses weather matters to encourage repentance. Steve Dupuie and Dr. Thiel go over these matters and encourage listeners to believe the Bible and not be scoffers.

Bible News Prophecy with Dr Bob Thiel Warnings, Moral Decline, and the Promise of a Future Without Violence Continuing Church of God 50 News Through the Lens of Prophecy In this episode of Bible News Prophecy, host Steve Dupuie speaks with Dr. Bob Thiel of the Continuing Church of God about reports of sexual violence, grooming gangs, and institutional failure in the United Kingdom and parts of Europe. The conversation frames current events through the program’s stated purpose: analyzing world events in light of Bible prophecy. Dr. Thiel discusses recent reports and commentary about Rotherham, broader UK grooming-gang scandals, alleged failures by public officials, and claims that political correctness and fear of accusations of racism contributed to authorities failing to protect vulnerable girls. Rotherham, Europe, and the Charge of Institutional Complicity Dr. Thiel cites reports claiming that large numbers of mainly working-class British girls were abused by organized grooming gangs, and he expands the concern to other towns in the UK and parts of Europe. He emphasizes allegations that officials ignored, minimized, or suppressed warnings in order to protect “community relations.” The episode also references calls for accountability, including Elon Musk’s reported support for Nuremberg-style trials for perpetrators and enablers, as well as reports of similar concerns in France, Germany, and Nuremberg. The discussion presents these issues as part of a wider pattern of institutional unwillingness to confront serious crimes honestly. Speaking Out, Censorship, and the Fear of Naming Patterns The program then turns to the question of whether people in Europe are being punished for publicly discussing the backgrounds of alleged attackers. Dr. Thiel references a French woman who says she faced legal consequences after speaking on television about rape, immigration, and crime, including her own alleged experience of an attempted assault. He argues that societies should not criminalize people for speaking about violence or warning others, especially when women are raising safety concerns. The episode’s moral focus is that victims and whistleblowers should be protected rather than silenced. Rape, Biblical Penalty, and the Trauma of Victims Steve asks what the Bible says about rape, and Dr. Thiel points to Deuteronomy 22:25, saying the biblical penalty for a man forcing a woman sexually is death. He then discusses the lasting trauma of rape, including physical harm, social stigma, fear, pregnancy, disease, and emotional consequences. He also notes that many victims have historically faced disbelief, blame, or mistreatment when reporting assault. At the same time, he says false accusations also exist and complicate the pursuit of justice, urging genuine victims to seek medical care, report the crime, and receive counseling. Prophetic Warnings About Moral Collapse Dr. Thiel connects sexual violence and institutional corruption to biblical warnings about national decline. He reads from Deuteronomy 28, describing curses that come from rejecting God’s commandments, and connects those passages to rape, fear, and outsiders rising over disobedient nations. He also cites Deuteronomy 32, Romans 1, and 2 Timothy 3 to argue that violence, deception, brutality, selfishness, loss of self-control, and love of pleasure over God are marks of the last days. In his view, these reports are not isolated crimes only, but symptoms of societies moving away from biblical morality. Terror Within and the Beginning of Sorrows The episode broadens into end-times interpretation, with Dr. Thiel saying increased rape, violence, lawlessness, and terror are part of the “troubles” Jesus warned about in Mark 13. He describes the present era as the beginning of sorrows and says worse tribulation is coming before Christ’s return. While the topic is grim, the program presents the Christian prophetic message as ultimately hopeful: Jesus will return, the Kingdom of God will be established, and violent crimes such as rape will end. A Kingdom Where No One Hurts or Destroys Dr. Thiel closes by pointing to Isaiah 11:9, which says that no one will hurt or destroy in God’s holy mountain because the earth will be full of the knowledge of the Lord. He says this future Kingdom will put an end to rape, terror, and violence, and he urges listeners to pray as Jesus instructed in Matthew 6:10: “Your kingdom come.” The program ends with Steve directing listeners to BibleNewsProphecy.net, CCOG.org, and the Continuing Church of God’s free literature and audio resources.
