To those who distort the Sabbath day observed by Jesus---wmscog

Church of God (Witness of Ahnsahnghong) believes Ahnsahnghong as our Savior in the age of the Holy Spirit with the belief in Heavenly Mother.  According to the Bible, God the Father and God the Mother who are the Spirit and the bride are to give us the water of life in this last age of the Holy Spirit.  In order to receive the water of life in this age, we should come toward God the Father and God the Mother. 

 

Today, there are people who call themselves "Orthodox" while worshiping on Sunday which is not based on the Bible and distorting the truth by claiming that "Jesus did not keep the Sabbath day" with regard to the verse indicating that Jesus observed the Sabbath day. Yet, they overlook one thing: if they misinterpret the verse regarding the Sabbath day kept by Jesus as "Jesus did not keep the Sabbath", they lose the slightest opportunity to justify the "Sunday service" they observe. 

First, let's see the verse about the Sabbath day observed by Jesus.

He went to Nazareth, where he had been brought up, and on the Sabbath day he went into the synagogue, as was his custom. And he stood up to read. (Luke 4:16)

About the above Verse, they distort the truth by saying: "At first glance, it seems that Jesus kept the Sabbath day. However, if you read it carefully once more, you will find that there is no word "observe." The Bible says, "On the Sabbath day, Jesus went into the synagogue to read the Bible." Can we understand it today as ‘Jesus observed the Sabbath day?’”

They insist that it's not about keeping the Sabbath day since there is no direct expression "observe". Then, let's apply their logic to the Sunday service the same way. Are there any verses indicating Jesus kept the Sunday service?  At least, are they any record that Jesus went into the synagogue to read the Bible? They must first provide the ground for the Sunday service before they argue about the Sabbath day. They distort the truth by claiming that the Sabbath day was not observed although there is a record of keeping the Sabbath day. I wonder on what ground they keep the Sunday service. Isn’t it strange?

The word "custom" is the translation of the Greek word "ἔθω (εἰωθὸς)", which means "custom, common practice or ritual." In other words, we can confirm that the Sabbath day is a day observed as a custom, common practice or ritual. Of course, since the Sabbath day is one of God's Commandments, it can be also called "as his custom was or as he did as usual." It's because Jesus observed the Sabbath day as his custom was or as he did as usual.

Why do they diligently keep the Sunday service which was not kept by Jesus without considering observing the Sabbath day kept by Jesus? Believing in God with lips only; the demons also do. The demons also believe in God (James 2:19), the demons also acknowledged Jesus as the Lord (Matthew 8:29), and even the evil spirit said he knew Jesus (Acts 19:15.) If we get salvation as long as we believe without action, it can be also said that the demons and evil spirits who are destined to be destroyed will be saved. The difference between the devils who are destined to be destroyed and the Christians who will be saved depends on whether or not to do according to the words of God.

 

 

About the verse "If anyone tells you, 'There he is! or Here he is', do not believe it"---wmscog

Jesus warned that false Christs and false prophets would appear and mislead many people:
At that time if anyone says to you, 'Look, here is the Christ!' or, 'There he is!' do not believe it. 24 For false Christs and false prophets will appear and perform great signs and miracles to deceive even the elect--if that were possible. 25 See, I have told you ahead of time. 26 "So if anyone tells you, 'There he is, out in the desert,' do not go out; or, 'Here he is, in the inner rooms,' do not believe it. (Matthew 24:23-26)
However, some unfairly use this verse to oppose the Second Coming Christ. If, we literally must not believe it when we are told “Here is the Christ”, where do we have to go? Do we need to go to the place where it says “Here isn’t the Christ and there he isn’t”? Are there any churches which do not say “Here is the Christ”?
Therefore, Jesus did not give us this word with the intent that we must deny Christ when He comes in any cases. As written, it’s clearly about warning people of false Christs.
Then, where can we find the true Christ and not false Christs?
And so all Israel will be saved, as it is written: "The deliverer [Savior: GNT] will come from Zion; he will turn godlessness away from Jacob. (Romans 11:26)
It’s prophesied that the Savior would come from Zion. Where is Zion in which the Savior dwells?
Look upon Zion, the city of our festivals … There the LORD will be our Mighty One… For the LORD is our judge, the LORD is our lawgiver, the LORD is our king; it is he who will save us. (Isaiah 33:20-22)
Zion where the Savior dwells is the place where we celebrate the feasts of God. God’s feasts include a weekly feast of the Sabbath and seven annual feasts of the Passover, the Feast of Unleavened Bread, the Day of Firstfruits, the Pentecost, the Feast of Trumpets, the Day of Atonement and the Feast of Tabernacles. The place where people celebrate such feasts as written in the Bible is “Zion.”
However, the place where people do not observe the feasts of God while saying “Here is the Christ” is the one where they believe in ‘false Christs’ or ‘another Jesus (2 Corinthians 11:4).’ The Bible prophesies as follows about the appearance of Christ who gives us the water of life:
The Spirit and the bride say, "Come!" And let him who hears say, "Come!" Whoever is thirsty, let him come; and whoever wishes, let him take the free gift of the water of life. (Revelation 22:17)
You can meet the Sprit and the bride who give us the water life only in Zion.

Passover is the way of Eternal life.---wmscog

Passover is the way of Eternal life.

As you know, God alone has eternal life.

God, the blessed and only Ruler, the King of kings and Lord of lords, who alone is immortal (1 Timothy 6:15-16)

Therefore, only God can give us eternal life. The promise of eternal life God gave us is contained in the Passover.

Jesus said to them, “I tell you the truth, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man [Jesus] and drink his [Jesus'] blood, you have no life in you. Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up at the last day. For my flesh is real food and my blood is real drink…” (John 6:53-55)

Jesus promised that the bread of was His flesh and that the wine of the Passover was His blood.

So the disciples did as Jesus had directed them and prepared the Passover…. While they were eating, Jesus took bread, gave thanks and broke it, and gave it to his disciples, saying, “Take and eat; this [the Passover bread] is my body.” Then he took the cup, gave thanks and offered it to them, saying, “Drink from it, all of you. This [The Passover wine] is my blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many for the forgiveness of sins. (Matthew 26:19-28)

Those who observe the Passover are surely supposed to receive the blessing of eternal life according to the words of Jesus: “Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life.” On the contrary, since Jesus said: “Unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you have no life in you,” those who do not keep the Passover cannot receive eternal life. The World Mission Society Church of God believes in the promise of eternal life Jesus promised us and celebrates the Passover of the New Covenant as a precious truth.

 

Many Christians often say they preach the gospel.  However, the core of the heavenly gospel that Jesus came to this earth and sent Himself is very the Passover.  Church of God delivers the same teachings as the early church.  Please come to Church of God and keep the Passover. (Matt.26:17)

 

 

 

 

Jesus is the Lord of the Sabbath---wmscog

There are those who are not willing to be invited to a wedding ceremony or other events on Sunday. They have to go to church. They consider "observing the Lord's Day" as their first value and worship on Sundays. It is quite praiseworthy thing that they value worship. However, there is something wrong. Biblically, the worship day is not Sunday but Saturday. Those who mention “the Lord’s Day” frequently cite the following verses:
On the Lord's Day I was in the Spirit… (Revelation 1:10)
They insist that the Lord’ Day is Sunday, knowing the fact that there isn’t a single verse about worship on Sunday. Then, when is the Lord’s Day?
For the Son of Man is Lord of the Sabbath. (Matthew 12:8; Mark 2:28; Luke 6:5)
Jesus is the Lord of the Sabbath. Therefore, the “Sabbath” is the Lord’s Day. You know, the Sabbath is Saturday in our current calendar system. We just need to worship on Saturday because God commanded us to give services on Saturday. Why do they dare do against the will of God by inventing Sunday?
Remember the Sabbath day by keeping it holy (Exodus 20:8)
God commanded God’s people to keep the Sabbath holy as the Fourth Commandment. He has never said that Sunday is “My day.” Please remember: the Sabbath is the Lord’s Day.

Church of God (Witness of Ahnsahnghong) believes Ahnsahnghong as our Savior in the age of the Holy Spirit with the belief in Heavenly Mother.  According to the Bible, God the Father and God the Mother who are the Spirit and the bride are to give us the water of life in this last age of the Holy Spirit.  In order to receive the water of life in this age, we should come toward God the Father and God the Mother. 

Family knows all---wmscog

Family knows all

On my way to visit hometown during the Feast of Tabernacles, I went to my uncle’s house and kept the Feast of Tabernacle in Zion located around there.  

He couldn't really keep the evening service whenever he had to stay up all night at work.  Sometimes, he used to return home very late because he had to work even at dawn.  Thinking how much he went through in a situation he could not come to Zion with lots of tiring work, I felt so pity on him.

On the following day after the Feast of Tabernacles was over, I was going to keep the early morning service but at that time again, he did not get home after work.  Just guessing he must be still working, I left home with my aunt and cousins.  In the service, a pastor and our brothers and sisters used to take turns reading Father’s book and at that dawn also, we were reading a book like that way.

“Now, could next brother read that for us please?”

As requested by a pastor, one man in men’s seats started to read the book and my uncle was very surprised.

Oh? That must be your uncle.”

We couldn't help being surprised too because it couldn't be even imagined before the service began.  The service was finally finished with our mind of giving thanks to God.  Then, my cousin who is only a first grader in elementary school moved our heart. 

“My son must be so surprised from very early in the morning?  Yon didn't know it’s dad, did you?  Then, he answered as if it was no big deal for him. 

“Of course I did.  It’s my dad’s voice.”  This little cousin’s words deeply moved my heart and I was about to tear. 

It was very impressive family can recognize each other with mere hearing of their voices instantly in unexpected situation.  I could realize living like a family make us know and feel everything about each other.

I would like to give thanks to Heavenly Father and Heavenly Mother for allowing me to guide my uncle to Zion and to realize how precious our family more deeply.  Also, I truly give thanks for making me your daughter who could listen to your voice so I could recognize you are my Father and Mother.

 

 

Always There---wmscog

Always There

 

Hearing my first child groaning, I woke up.

It was still dawn when I opened my eyes.Seeing him covered in night sweat, I took his temperature, and it was 39°.

“Mom, mom...”

My child who couldn't even open his eyes was endlessly looking for me.

Since I've never been through this, I first comforted him “Mom is here,” and while I quickly laid some cold towel on

his forehead, I began to think what to do. 

Despite of all what I was doing, he was still calling me.

I couldn't stand it. Carrying him on my back, I took him to the hospital.

Seeing many doctors with white gowns, he was uneasy. Though I tried to set him at ease, he wouldn't just let go off my hand and grasped tightly

After taking an IV, he had a checkup. It was morning when we came back home. Limp as a doll, crying and calling me, my child fell asleep

Few days passed and my child gradually recovered. By then, he didn't look for me like when he was sick.

Seeing my child, I began to look back at myself

Just like myself who couldn't even eat or sleep for days taking care of my sick child, I realized Heavenly Mother wouldn't have been sleeping or eating for day and night praying for this sinful child. I felt so embarrassed and sorry.

Whenever I was sick and having difficulties,I depended on Her so much, but didn't I forget to depend on Her when I was peaceful?

Heavenly Mother was always there for me,even if I was sick or not.She still has pity on me and gives me love,whenever I depend on Her.

"Mother, I give You thanks.”

 

Please come to Church of God (witness of Ahnsahnghong) that believes Father Ahnsahnghong and Heavenly Mother, the Spirit and the bride to get the eternal life and the salvation through the Passover the New Covenant.
