Parents of our bodies and Parents of our souls_God the Mother_WMSCOG

WHY the members of World Mission Society Church of God (WMSCOG) believe in  "God the Mother" as well as God the Father? I thinks many of you are wondering the same thing.

It seems that breaking the stereotypes and common notion like "God exist as God the Father only " may takes a long time.

But in the God's point of View , the many people's this fixed ides is wrong.

The answer of this matter is very easy and clear when we look see through the Bible, the words of God.

The World Mission Society Church of God believes in God the Father and "God the Mother" according to the Bible _WMSCOG

Whenever We (WMSCOG) say that we believe in "God the Mother" as well as God the Father, many people are surprised to hear that. It is because they have some common stereotypes and conventional way of thinking about God.

One of things that many people misunderstand about the Bible is that there is only God the Father. However, the Bible clearly reveals that there exists "God the Mother" as well God the Father from the first page of the Bible.


Then God said, "Let us make man in our image, in our likeness, and let them rule over the fish of the sea...." So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them. (Genesis 1:26-27)


If there is only one God, God the Father, it should read ‘my image’ not ‘our image.’ In addition, only ‘male’ should have been created in the image of God the Father. But, is there only male created in the image of God? Isn’t there also ‘female’?

The fact that male and female were created in the image of God is the evidence that God’s image includes God the Father and "God the Mother". It’s very important to know the existence of God the Father and "God the Mother" because it’s prophesied that God the Father and "God the Mother" are to appear to give us the water of life in the last days.


The Spirit [God the Father] and the bride ["God the Mother"] 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)


Those who have met God the Father and "God the Mother" can receive the water of life. People who only know God the Father do not know God whom we must press on to know. The World Mission Society Church of God (WMSCOG) receives the water of life from the Spirit and the bride according to the words of the Bible.

From beginning... _ Heavenly Mother's love in WMSCOG

“What is learned in the cradle is carried to the grave,” says a popular old adage. 

While it means that habits acquired in youth tend to be hard to break, Korean people have long embraced a more literal interpretation of the saying.

Since over 600 years ago, expectant mothers in Korea have been practicing taegyo, a series of prenatal routines aimed at nurturing a healthy, virtuous and skilled child. They try to see and hear only the most pleasant things starting from three months of pregnancy.

-In Korean Herald 'Early education starts from the womb?'

It is very similar to Heavenly Mother's love towards us. From the beginning, Heavenly Mother purposed us in Her. 

 Ephesians 1:4 For he chose us in him before the creation of the world to be holy and blameless in his sight.

 Matthew 23:37  “Jerusalem, Jerusalem, you who kill the prophets and stone those sent to you, how often I have longed to gather your children together, as a hen gathers her chicks under her wings, and you were not willing.

And till the end, She will be with us.

 Revelation 22:17 The Spirit and the bride say, “Come!” And let the one who hears say, “Come!” Let the one who is thirsty come; and let the one who wishes take the free gift of the water of life.

Through Her great love and sacrifice for us, we can receive eternal life(water of life) and go back to kingdom of heaven.
For meeting Heavenly Mother, plz come to Zion[World Mission Society Church of God;WMSCOG] where Heavenly Mother dwell.

The WMSCOG believes in God the Father and God the Mother

So many people are familiar with the concept "God is only one". 

However, bilbe testifies both God the Father and "God the Mother". 

We, WMSCOG believes  in God the Father and God the Mother.To find the existence of "God the Mother",
let us study about the word "Elohim" first. 

Have you ever heard the word “Elohim”?

It’s actually the word for “God” that appears more than 2,500 times in the original Hebrew version of the Bible. But here’s the crazy part: it’s actually a plural word.

Just like “cherubim” is the plural form of “cherub” and “seraphim” is the plural form of “seraph” (types of angels mentioned in the Bible), 

Elohim is a plural form of El or Eloah (singular forms of “God”).

To add to the mystery, when God speaks on the very first page of the Bible, 

a plural pronoun is used:

Then God said, “Let us make mankind in our image, in our likeness, so that they may rule over the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky, over the livestock and all the wild animals, and over all the creatures that move along the ground.”

–Genesis 1:26

If you know another language, go ahead and check it out– 

I guarantee it is going to be plural no matter what translation or language you check.

[The WMSCOG believes in God the Father and "God the Mother"]

But that doesn’t make sense. We have one God Almighty, right? Why would God say “us” and “our” to refer to Himself? Do you think God didn’t know proper grammar? Well, to understand better we just have to read the next verse:

So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; 

male and female he created them.

–Genesis 1:27

Male and female were made in the image of God. 

For a copy to be created, the original has to exist. 

That means there is a male image of God (God the Father)

and a female image of God (God the Mother).

But I thought the Bible said that there is only one God!

Well, that’s right– one Elohim God. 

That means there is one God, but God is actually two. 

Confused? It’s kind of like how one egg is composed of two parts — 

the yolk and the white. Or in one pair of shoes, there are two shoes. 

And one couple walking along the beach is actually two people. 

Makes sense now, right?

Even in English translations (you can check them all), 

you can see many examples of God speaking in the plural.

But the Lord came down to see the city and the tower that the men were building. The Lord said, “If as one people speaking the same language they have begun to do this, then nothing they plan to do will be impossible for them. Come, let us go down and confuse their language so they will not understand each other.”

…That is why it was called Babel — because there the Lord confused the language of the whole world.

–Genesis 11:5-7

It was God who confused the language of the people,

but when speaking about His (Their) plan to do this, God said “let us.”

Then I heard the voice of the LORD saying, “Whom shall I send? And who will go for us? And I said, “Here am I. Send me!”

–Isaiah 6:8

When looking for someone to testify God’s message, God said “Who will go for us?”

Actually, without understanding this basic fact that God is plural, 

it’s pretty difficult to understand the rest of the Bible. 

Now that you know about Elohim, keep reading my blog to find out how the whole Bible testifies about the female image of God, our "God the Mother"

Regarding the instance that He cannot die again---wmscog

Regarding the instance that He cannot die again

Those who deny the Second Coming Christ, Ahnsahnghong, of the World Mission Society Church of God claim as follows:
The Bible says that “Christ cannot die again.” But Ahnsahnghong passed away. Therefore, He is not the Second Coming Christ.

However, they insist such a claim because they could not understand the matter of a spiritual body and a natural boy properly and interpreted the Bible wrongly.
If we have been united with him like this in his death, we will certainly also be united with him in his resurrection…. Now if we died with Christ, we believe that we will also live with him. For we know that since Christ was raised from the dead, he cannot die again; death no longer has mastery over him. (Romans 6:5-9)

This Verse means that those who are baptized will receive eternal life which does not die as Christ died and was raised from the dead. Of course, it does not mean that a natural body will live forever. They will live forever without death as God’s children with spiritual bodies. 
…and they can no longer die; for they are like the angels. They are God's children, since they are children of the resurrection. (Luke 20:36)

So will it be with the resurrection of the dead. The body that is sown is perishable, it is raised imperishable; it is sown in dishonor, it is raised in glory; it is sown in weakness, it is raised in power; it is sown a natural body [physical body], it is raised a spiritual body. If there is a natural body [physical body], there is also a spiritual body. (1 Corinthians 15:42-44)

The resurrection means that the natural body will be changed into a spiritual body to live for good. Just as a caterpillar is clothed with a new body of a dragonfly, so one who receives God will be changed to a new body which can live forever according to the promise of God.

I declare to you, brothers, that flesh and blood [what is made of flesh and blood] cannot inherit the kingdom of God, nor does the perishable inherit the imperishable. Listen, I tell you a mystery: We will not all sleep, but we will all be changed-- in a flash, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, the dead will be raised imperishable, and we will be changed. For the perishable [what is mortal] must clothe itself with the imperishable [what is immortal], and the mortal with immortality. When the perishable has been clothed with the imperishable, and the mortal with immortality, then the saying that is written will come true: "Death has been swallowed up in victory." (1 Corinthians 15:51-54)

Flesh and blood – visible bodies – cannot inherit the kingdom of God. It’s because we with bodies cannot enter the kingdom of heaven which is the kingdom of the Spiritual God. Therefore, the words “He cannot die again” are not about the natural body but the spiritual body.

Jesus, who had been in a spiritual body, has come a second time in the flesh as He did 2,000 years ago to bring salvation to mankind (Hebrews 9:28.) Those who truly understand and follow the will of God should at least know that the natural body is one thing and the spiritual body is totally another thing.

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.

God the Mother - the Source of the Water of Life.

 

 

We can not live without water.

Water is absolutely essential for all living things.

It is not too much to say that water is life.

Our soul also can not live without the water of life.

In the last days, the Spirit and the Bride - Christ Ahnsahnghong and God the Mother give us the water of life.

 

 

In the Bible, the water of life refers to the truth of life through which we can have eternal life (Amos 8:11.) Only God has authority to give us the water of life. It was Jehovah who was the spring of living water in the age of the Father.

 

O LORD, the hope of Israel, all who forsake you will be put to shame. Those who turn away from you will be written in the dust because they have forsaken the LORD, the spring of living water. (Jeremiah 17:13)

 

However, Jesus was the source of the water of life in the age of the Son.

 

Jesus answered her, “If you knew the gift of God and who it is that asks you for a drink, you would have asked him and he would have given you living water.” (John 4:10)

 

Then, who is the spring of the living water in this last age of the Holy Spirit?

 

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)

 

In the age of the Father and in the age of the Son, there was only one God who was the source of the water of life respectively. But in the age of the Holy Spirit, two Gods --the Spirit and the bride -- give us the water of life. The Holy Father, the Holy Son and the Holy Spirit are God in the Trinity. Who is the bride? Some claim that the bride is ‘the saints.’ But only God can give us the water of life.

 

He said to me: “It is done. I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End. To him who is thirsty I will give to drink without cost from the spring of the water of life. He who overcomes will inherit all this, and I will be his God and he will be my son. (Revelation 21:6-7)

 

It is our God who gives to drink without cost from the spring of the water of life. Therefore, it’s a false claim that the bride is the saints. Then, who is the bride who gives us the water of life in the last days.

 

One of the seven angels who had the seven bowls full of the seven last plagues came and said to me, “Come, I will show you the bride, the wife of the Lamb.” And he carried me away in the Spirit to a mountain great and high, and showed me the Holy City, Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God. (Revelation 21:9-10)

 

It’s written that the bride or the wife of the Lamb, who gives us the water of life, was Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven. Heavenly Mother has not appeared out of the blue, suddenly, all at once. The Bible testifies to God the Father and God the Mother from the first Chapter.

 

Then God said, “Let us make man in our image, in our likeness, and let them rule over the fish of the sea and the birds of the air, over the livestock, over all the earth, and over all the creatures that move along the ground.” So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them. (Genesis 1:26-27)

 

Male and female were created in the image of God, which proves that God the Father and God the Mother exist in God’s image. And in the last page of the Bible, it’s prophesied that the Spirit and the bride will give us the water of life.  Obviously, the water of life cannot be found in the churches that do not know the Spirit and the bride in this age when the Spirit and the bride give us the water of life. The World Mission Society Church of God (WMSCOG) believes in God the Father and God the Mother who have come as the Spirit and the bride according to the prophecies of the Bible, and preaches the truth of eternal life or the water of life.

Do we have to worship a wall of a city?---wmscog

…and give him no rest till he establishes Jerusalem and makes her the praise of the earth. (Isaiah 62:7)

At a glance, some might think the above verse is about a prophecy that God will build the city of Jerusalem. But it’s just a fragmented understanding. If we look at the mate of this verse in the Scriptures, we can understand the meaning behind it.

But the Jerusalem that is above is free, and she is our mother. (Galatians 4:26)

A long ago time, the prophet Isaiah prophesied that God would establish Heavenly Mother just as Adam had named his wife ‘Eve’:

Adam named his wife Eve, because she would become the mother of all the living. (Genesis 3:20)

We need to know that Jerusalem recorded in the book of Isaiah does not merely refer to a city located in Palestine near the Mediterranean, but also contains a prophecy about Heavenly Mother. Those who consider Jerusalem as a mere building are to fall into a big error.

Your gates will always stand open, they will never be shut, day or night, so that men may bring you the wealth of the nations? their kings led in triumphal procession. For the nation or kingdom that will not serve you will perish; it will be utterly ruined. (Isaiah 60:11-12)

Isaiah 60 is about the future glory of Jerusalem. The word “you” above refers to the city of Jerusalem. If you think Jerusalem is just a wall of a city, which exists in Israel, it’s concluded that you should worship a building to get salvation because it’s written, “For the nation or kingdom that will not serve you will perish.”

Isn’t it strange? How can God, who forbade idolatry (Exodus 20:4), command us to worship a wall of a city? Such an error occurs because people consider Jerusalem as a mere city. They will result in destruction according to the warning of God regarding those who distort the Bible to their own destruction (2 Peter 3:16.)

One of the seven angels who had the seven bowls full of the seven last plagues came and said to me, “Come, I will show you the bride, the wife of the Lamb.” 10 And he carried me away in the Spirit to a mountain great and high, and showed me the Holy City, Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God. (Revelation 21:9-10)

Jerusalem in the Bible stands for Heavenly Mother, who gives us the water of life in this age as the wife of the Lamb.

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)

Blood Drive - Unity in the Community 2013 World Mission Society Church of God (WMSCOG)

Summer 2013 Blood Drive to Give Life through the Love of Mother

The day started out cloudy and gloomy, but not a day for a community service blood drive event. However, just as the blood drive began, the sun appearance and shone on the volunteers, donors and performers that were present at the Unity in the Community Blood Drive on Sunday, July 28, 2013 in Shrewsbury, NJ.

"In the Church of God, we believe in following the example of Heavenly Mother and spreading the love of God through good deeds," commented one Church donor and volunteer. "Because Christ came to give us eternal life through the Passover, we want to help save lives by donating our physical blood. Through this, we hope many come to understand the importance of the Passover."

The Mayor of Shrewsbury, Donald W. Burden, thanking the Church of God for organizing this family-fun event. This blood drive marked the 164th worldwide blood drive held by the World Mission Society Church of God.

Children is Mother's everything - About our Heavenly Mother

Mom’s dream

In my mom’s cell phone, my number is saved in the name of “my dream”.
One day, I asked her with some curiosity, “Mom, why did you save my number like that?” “My girl is mom’s everything. Her life is my life and she is my dream and that is why I did it.”

When I feel pleased, so does she, and when I feel sad, she feels more sorrowful.
I must be mom’s everything and her only hope for sure.
Also our Heavenly Mother!!
We are Heavenly Mother's dream and her everything
Because she came to the earth from heaven to save us in the flesh
So we try to be always pleased that makes our Heavenly Mother pleased

My mom is the best! [ Heavenly Mother.WMSCOG ]

My mom is the best!
My 10-year old son is affectionate especially to me, his mom. With sincerity, he says I am more beautiful than any other pretty entertainers on TV, which makes me feel good.
“My mom is the most beautiful.” “Can I marry you when I am grown-up?” “You are perfectly slim.”
Hearing his absurd and non-sense comment, I laugh away myself gigglingly but I don’t feel bad though. One day when it rained on and off, he was about go to the institute and I got him an umbrella in his hand. “Sweetheart, be sure to wear umbrella when it rains.” “ OK, mom. See you later. Oh, my friends! Mom, I’m leaving. Hey, let’s go together.” He is running after his friends, bouncing like a spring.
Grown-up as an only child without siblings, he loves friends so much that he readily gives his newly toys away. This son, however seemed to have given a slap on the head of his friend with umbrella and run away before getting out of the street entry. “oh, no.. what is he doing?”
Although I got worried, I couldn't just go and ask at once, but only had to wait for him to come back. Returning from the institute, he seemed to be very happy and bright as usual, as if nothing really happened at all.
“Sweetheart, why did you hit your friend with an umbrella and run away? It is not a thing to hit others but to use when it rains. Why did you do that?” “Mom, he said my mom looks ugly. You are the most beautiful, aren't you?
I was just floored but then felt kind of dwarfed at that moment  The reason was that Heavenly Mother suddenly flashed in my mind. Then I got to look back on myself in the past. Questioning myself how much I have felt proud of Heavenly Mother, I had no choice but to feel sorry and even shame because I have always been admitting myself children of Mother.  Even though I know I am such a prodigal sinner, I used to hold my righteous indignation and oppose to those who slander the truth and even Heavenly Mother.

I truly give all thanks and praise to Heavenly Father and Heavenly Mother for allowing me to reflect upon myself as well as my mind toward Heavenly Mother through my boy having a purse heart toward his mom

Between decision and action - Mother's love and daughter's love

Mother's love for her children doesn't care about  anything, whoever, whatever, whenever, wherever
But daughter's love different
Here is a story about daughter' regret

Forgetting at an instant

For a long time, my mom all alone raised us; four daughters.

Looking back at those years, I don’t know how she managed to raise us up all by herself.

I cannot even conceive the idea of raising four children all by myself, but I guess it was all possible for her because she was my mom.

Few years ago, my mom had a big surgery.

Though she had to rest, because of the wretched circumstances, she just had to work strenuously.

Though we all grew up and became adults, since we were busy, we didn’t know or forgot how strenuous it was for her.

When mom comes home from work, she starts doing the housework right away.

After then, she comes to my room and talks about her daily routine.

She isn’t a talk-active person, but these days she frequently stops by and talks to me a lot.

I really wanted to be nice to her, but I was exhausted. So I tend to listen to her vacantly.

Seeing how I reacted, she would quickly end her conversation and leave my room.

When this happens, I feel sorry for her.

I always make a resolution that I wouldn’t repeat this mistake again, but it happens to me all the time.

One day, seeing her leaving my room, her shoulders seemed so small.

When I and my sisters were young, she didn’t have a moment to talk with us.

That is why we always went to her to talk with her.

Whenever we did, she never showed how tired she was.

She always listened to all what we have said, but I didn’t.

Few days ago, my mom said that she had pain in her arms and legs.

I just told her to “go to the hospital,” and when she repeatedly said that every day, I started to ignore.

When I started to think lying down my bed, it reminded me that my mom had a surgery for cancer.

I forgot that she wasn’t a healthy person at all.

I felt ashamed that I just told her to go to the hospital.

During break time in my working place, I started to search for good medicine and food for my mom.

Thinking that I simply just needed to turn on the computer and type some words, I felt so sorry.

The reason how I could grow up without any trouble was because of my mom’s sacrifice.

And I…

I always forgot about her when I turned my back, went to work, and while I was having a hard time.

At this moment, Heavenly Mother is also next to me, praying for me continuously every day, every second.

But I always forgot.

Just because of the world that I am living in, because I was busy, because I was exhausted…

I just forgot about Her.

About Heavenly Mother who came down to this earth, who is sacrificing for me.

I truly want to be a filial daughter for my mom and to my Heavenly Mother.

I want to be a filial daughter who gives joy, happiness, and smiles.

Why more than 1.86 million Christians around the world believe in God the Mother

 Why more than 1.86 million Christians around the world believe in God the Mother

 Why are human beings male and female?

 While people might think that this question is one for biologists, it was actually the focus of an international Bible seminar that I attended in South Korea last week.

 

I was one of more than 100 members of the World Mission Society Church of God from 25 countries — including Canada, the U.S., Australia, Singapore, Peru, Finland and England — who attended the event at the Go & Come Institute in Okcheon, Chungbook, along with about 700 locals.

 

    Let us make man in our image, in our likeness

 

Biblical evidence that supports the existence of a female Christian God was presented from the point of view of an aerospace engineer, an expert in international political relations and a professor with a phD in neuroscience.

 

Most Christian churches believe in one God, commonly described in male terms as the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit, but the Church of God believes the Bible testifies that two Gods exist: God the Father and God the Mother.

 

In his keynote speech, General Pastor Kim Joo-cheol addressed one of the “enduring questions of the scripture” published by Reader’s Digest in the Mysteries of the Bible: Why does God say “Let us make man in our image, in our likeness,” during the creation in Genesis, instead of saying, “Let me?”

 

The church teaches that since the Bible testifies that men and women were both created in God’s own image, God actually has two images: male and female. In other words, there are two Gods – Heavenly Parents – who together created human beings in Their likeness.

 

The fact that there is no biological necessity for physical life to be given by mothers caused August Kruesi to wonder: what was God’s will in creating the human life system in this way?

 

In his presentation, the technical principal for aerospace at Aerojet Rocketdyne, a U.S. company that “provides propulsion and energetics technologies,” said that scientists have so far failed to discover the origin of life on Earth, or in space, while the Bible offers a clear answer.

 

While many people place their trust solely in science when they want to know where life came from, Mr. Kruesi pointed out that key steps in the “primordial soup” theory remain unexplained and impossible to recreate, and scientists have yet to find any signs of life beyond our planet.

 

Mr. Kruesi argued that God’s divine nature and the existence of God the Mother, the source of eternal life, is clearly shown through all creatures on Earth that require both male and female to reproduce. He believes that God created the world this way to testify to the existence of both a female Creator, and a male Creator.

 

Scientists have discovered that mitochondria — known as the energy factories of cells — are only passed down through the maternal line. God made it so that the “power source” for reproduction comes from mothers in order to further testify to the existence of a life-giving spiritual mother, Destinee L. Chambers said.

 

And God uses the hormones oxytocin and dopamine to deeply embed an intense maternal love in the psychological makeup of women from the moment of conception in order to teach human beings about the undying love God the Mother has for mankind, the professor of psychology at America International College said.

 

And because the Heavenly Mother is the embodiment of love and peace, She is the key to solving all of the world’s problems, Paul Richard Wilcox said.

 

As the Republic of Korea & Democratic People’s Republic of Korea Country Manager for United States Pacific Command based in Hawaii, Mr. Wilcox strives to find ways to promote peace and stability in the world. But the former fighter pilot, who spent 30 years serving as an active duty military officer, said he only started to develop patience, understanding and humility after he found out about God the Mother.

 

“Knowing the love of God the Mother brings the balance we seek,” he said.

 

Above all, the church members aspire to practice the love of God the Mother who teaches the importance of serving others with a humble mind, just as Christ did 2,000 years ago.

 

As a result, the church has been recognized for carrying out volunteer activities around the world with the devotional love of Mother. The church hosts blood drives, environmental cleanup campaigns and helps with relief efforts for victims of natural disasters.

 

When High River, Alta. was flooded last July, members from the Edmonton branch church drove down to help with the cleanup, and they gained a reputation for being able to clear a basement in “record time,” the CBC reported.

 

About 400 members from the New Jersey and New York branch churches gathered to help with disaster relief in areas devastated by Hurricane Sandy in October 2012. Bergen County Police Detective Gidget Petry was very impressed by the members united effort, said Saira Ahmed, a representative form the Ridgewood, N.J. branch. Now, the police office has teamed up with the church to give 1,200 members special emergency response training on Dec. 1, so that they will be ready to help local officials in the event of another disaster.

 

The Church of God has received about 1,000 awards for its volunteer efforts in nations around the world.

 

The members are motivated to change their personalities and serve their communities because of their belief in God the Mother, who guides the church, and has come as a human being to set an example for mankind — just like Jesus Christ did 2,000 years ago — Mr. Wilcox said.

 

The Church of God was established in 1964 in South Korea by Ahnsahnghong, who members believe fulfilled the prophecies about second coming Christ who comes again as a man. The church started in a small house in South Korea, but since the world evangelism began in 1997, 2,200 churches have been established in 150 countries around the world, and more than 1.86 million members believe Ahnsahnghong is the second coming Christ who restored the Biblical new covenant that Jesus preached and practiced, but was changed after the Apostolic Age.

 

“Jesus was a Jew, and then we make this big leap to Catholic. What happened in the middle?” Jeffrey Jacques had wondered during his college years. Without a satisfactory answer to that question, he stopped attending regular worship services for about 15 years. He was “on the way to not believing in God,” when the electrical engineer started studying the Bible at the Church of God in Washington, D.C., and found the answers to his questions.

 

The Church of God emphasizes the importance of worshiping God according to the example that Jesus set 2,000 years ago, that is recorded in the Bible, rather than following traditions that were adopted by churches after 100 AD.

 

Mr. Jacques said he was grateful to find a church that is based “purely on the word of God,” and that keeps the same seven feasts of the new covenant that Jesus kept according to the Bible, instead of celebrations that are commonly known to have pagan origins, such as Christmas.

 

And decades after he asked his father why they go to church on Sunday, even though the Bible says that Jesus read the scriptures on the Sabbath day, Mr. Jacques said he was amazed that even the Catholic church had acknowledged that the church’s doctrines contradict Biblical teachings.

 

“You may read the Bible from Genesis to Revelation, and you will not find a single line authorizing the sanctification of Sunday. The Scriptures enforce the religious observance of Saturday, a day which we never sanctify,” James Gibbons, archbishop of Baltimore, wrote in The Faith of Our Fathers in 1876.

 

While most Christians hold worship services on Sundays, the Church of God keeps the Christian Sabbath as well as the new covenant Passover on the fourteenth day of the first month of the sacred calendar, just like the Bible testifies Jesus did.

 

John Dyck remembers asking his Christian pastor why his church celebrated eucharist when Jesus said to keep the Passover as a “lasting ordinance.” But the then-10-year-old boy was told not to worry about it.

 

He stopped attending regular services during college and for 25 years visited a church only a handful of times. But about eight years ago, he was amazed to hear about the church that actually celebrates the Passover and the other feasts of God that were restored by Ahnsahnghong.

 

“I get to follow the perfect truth,” he said.

Do we have to worship a wall of a city?

…and give him no rest till he establishes Jerusalem and makes her the praise of the earth. (Isaiah 62:7)

                                                           

At a glance, some might think the above verse is about a prophecy that God will build the city of Jerusalem. But it’s just a fragmented understanding. If we look at the mate of this verse in the Scriptures, we can understand the meaning behind it.

But the Jerusalem that is above is free, and she is our mother. (Galatians 4:26)

A long ago time, the prophet Isaiah prophesied that God would establish Heavenly Mother just as Adam had named his wife ‘Eve’:

Adam named his wife Eve, because she would become the mother of all the living. (Genesis 3:20)

We need to know that Jerusalem recorded in the book of Isaiah does not merely refer to a city located in Palestine near the Mediterranean, but also contains a prophecy about Heavenly Mother. Those who consider Jerusalem as a mere building are to fall into a big error.

Your gates will always stand open, they will never be shut, day or night, so that men may bring you the wealth of the nations? their kings led in triumphal procession. For the nation or kingdom that will not serve you will perish; it will be utterly ruined. (Isaiah 60:11-12)

Isaiah 60 is about the future glory of Jerusalem. The word “you” above refers to the city of Jerusalem. If you think Jerusalem is just a wall of a city, which exists in Israel, it’s concluded that you should worship a building to get salvation because it’s written, “For the nation or kingdom that will not serve you will perish.”

Isn’t it strange? How can God, who forbade idolatry (Exodus 20:4), command us to worship a wall of a city? Such an error occurs because people consider Jerusalem as a mere city. They will result in destruction according to the warning of God regarding those who distort the Bible to their own destruction (2 Peter 3:16.)

One of the seven angels who had the seven bowls full of the seven last plagues came and said to me, “Come, I will show you the bride, the wife of the Lamb.” 10 And he carried me away in the Spirit to a mountain great and high, and showed me the Holy City, Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God. (Revelation 21:9-10)

Jerusalem in the Bible stands for Heavenly Mother, who gives us the water of life in this age as the wife of the Lamb.

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 22:1)
