Two days ago I invited a friend to study the Bible with me at the Church of God World Mission Society. Even though I insisted, he refused to come saying the he believes in God and prays to Jesus so he doesn’t need to study the Bible. In hopes he would change his mind, I showed him why it’s so important to study the Bible. Actually the Bible is a guide for our salvation, it guides us to the Savior.

John 5:39- “diligently study the Scriptures because you think that by them you possess eternal life. These are the Scriptures that testify about me, yet you refuse to come to me to have life.”

At this time, Jesus was speaking to the teachers and experts of the Law. He spoke to the Pharisees and Sadducees because they memorized the Scriptures front to back. Just to be clear, at this time the Jewish people only had the Old Testament, the 39 books from Genesis to Malachi.

So Jesus stated that these experts in the Law study all of the Old Testament but refuse to come to the one whom it testifies. Let’s confirm that the Old Testament testifies about Jesus.

Luke 24:13- “Now that same day two of them were going to a village called Emmaus, about seven miles from Jerusalem. They were talking with each other about everything that had happened. As they talked and discussed these things with each other, Jesus himself came up and walked along with them; but they were kept from recognizing him.
He asked them, "What are you discussing together as you walk along?" They stood still, their faces downcast. One of them, named Cleopas, asked him, "Are you only a visitor to Jerusalem and do not know the things that have happened there in these days?"
"What things?" he asked. "About Jesus of Nazareth," they replied. "He was a prophet, powerful in word and deed before God and all the people. The chief priests and our rulers handed him over to be sentenced to death, and they crucified him; but we had hoped that he was the one who was going to redeem Israel. And what is more, it is the third day since all this took place.

In this verse, two of Jesus’ disciples were walking away from Jerusalem and Jesus appeared but he didn’t let them recognize him. He asked them what had happened in Jerusalem in order to test them.

When they answered, they said Jesus was a prophet but we know very well Jesus is God Almighty. How could they say he was just a prophet? Also, they said we HAD hoped that he was the Redeemer, meaning they no longer had any hope or faith in him. This was only three days after he was crucified. Even though Jesus spent three years with them teaching them all the truth and showing them miracles, they lost all faith in only three days, let’s see why.

Luke 24:25- “He said to them, "How foolish you are, and how slow of heart to believe all that the prophets have spoken! Did not the Christ have to suffer these things and then enter his glory?" And beginning with Moses and all the Prophets, he explained to them what was said in all the Scriptures concerning himself.”

Clearly Bible testified about the Savior because Jesus used it to testify about himself. In the following post we will see also how the Apostles testified the Savior. I give all thanks to our Heavenly Father Christ Ahnsahnghong and Heavenly Mother for giving us understanding of their words.

Trinity Part II- Holy Spirit Ahnsahnghong

In my last post, we saw through the Bible that the Father Jehovah and the Son Jesus are the same. Now through the grace of Heavenly Father Christ Ahnsahnghong, let’s see through the Bible that the Father Jehovah and the Holy Spirit are one and the same.

1 Corinthians 2:10- “God has revealed it to us by his Spirit. The Spirit searches all things, even the deep things of God. For who among men knows the thoughts of a man except the man's spirit within him? In the same way no one knows the thoughts of God except the Spirit of God.”

The Spirit is clearly the Holy Spirit so we can see that God Jehovah and the Holy Spirit are the same.

Now let’s confirm that Jesus is the Holy Spirit.

Isaiah 9:6- “For to us a child is born, to us a son is given,
and the government will be on his shoulders. And he will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.”

John 14:26- “But the Counselor, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, will teach you all things and will remind you of everything I have said to you.”

In Isaiah, in the prophesy that Jesus fulfills, we can see that he is given the title Wonderful Counselor. However, in the John we can see that the Counselor is the Holy Spirit meaning, Jesus and the Holy Spirit are the same.

Now we can see fully the truth of the Trinity through the Bible, that the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit are the same. This is all thanks to our Heavenly Father Christ Ahnsahnghong who is Second Coming Christ, the Holy Spirit.

Now a days almost all Christians say that they believe in the Trinity. This is the belief that the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit are the same. However, of all the people I’ve met who say they believe in the Trinity, no one could explain it through the Bible. When I came to the Church of God World Mission Society, all my questions about the Trinity were thoroughly answered through the Bible thanks to Heavenly Father Christ Ahnsahnghong and Heavenly Mother New Jerusalem. So I want to share some of what I learned.

Through the following verses, we can see that the Father Jehovah and the Son Jesus are the same.

Isaiah 9:6- “For to us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government will be on his shoulders. And he will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.”

This verse is talking about the Father Jehovah (at the time of Isaiah, Jehovah is Mighty God and the Everlasting Father), coming in the flesh as a male child. Then the only one who can fulfill this prophecy is Jehovah but who actually fulfilled it in the future? Jesus came in the flesh 2,000 years ago to fulfill this prophecy but let’s confirm through the Bible.

Philippians 2:5- “Your attitude should be the same as that of Christ Jesus: Who, being in very nature God, did not consider equality with God something to be grasped, but made himself nothing, taking the very nature of a servant, being made in human likeness. And being found in appearance as a man, he humbled himself
and became obedient to death— even death on a cross!”

Jesus’ very nature is God, meaning he is God.

Romans 9:5- “ Theirs are the patriarchs, and from them is traced the human ancestry of Christ, who is God over all, forever praised! Amen.”

We can even see through the work of creation that Jesus and Jehovah are the same.

Isaiah 44:24- “This is what the LORD says— your Redeemer, who formed you in the womb: I am the LORD, who has made all things, who alone stretched out the heavens,
who spread out the earth by myself,”

According to this verse, Jehovah created all things by himself.

Colossians 1:15- “He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation. 16For by him all things were created: things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or powers or rulers or authorities; all things were created by him and for him.”

Judging by these two verses, the Bible says that there should be two of everything since there are two creators. If we look around, we only see one sun, one moon, and one earth meaning Jehovah and Jesus are the same, God the creator.

Isaiah 44:6
- “This is what the LORD says— Israel's King and Redeemer, the LORD Almighty: I am the first and I am the last; apart from me there is no God.”

Revelations 1:8- “I am the Alpha and the Omega," says the Lord God, "who is, and who was, and who is to come, the Almighty."

Here, Jehovah states that he is the Alpha and the Omega, The First and the Last.

Revelations 22:12- “Behold, I am coming soon! My reward is with me, and I will give to everyone according to what he has done. 13I am the Alpha and the Omega, the First and the Last, the Beginning and the End.

Now Jesus is proclaiming that he is the Alpha and the Omega, the First and the Last. This is because the Bible further testifies that Jesus and Jehovah are the same.

Now that we can see clearly through the Bible and the grace of Heavenly Father Christ Ahnsahnghong and Heavenly Mother that Jehovah and Jesus are the same, in my next post I will share the verses that prove Jehovah and the Holy Spirit are the same.

Colossians 2:17- "These are the shadow of the things to come; the reality, however, is found in Christ."

Hebrews 2:14- "Since the children have flesh and blood, he too shared in their humanity so that by his death he might destroy him who holds the power of the death--that is, the devil".

John 8:44- "You belong to your father the devil, and you want to carry out your father's desire. He was a murderer from the beginning, not holding to the truth, for there is no truth in him. When he lies, he
speaks his native language, for he is a liar and the father of lies."


We can see that Satan is a liar an intentional murderer.

Revelations 12:7- "And there was a war in heaven. Michael and his angels fought against the dragon and his angels, and the dragon and his angels fought back. But he was not strong enough, and they lost their place in heaven. The great dragon was hurled down--that ancient serpent called the devil, or Satan, who leads the whole world astray. He was hurled to the earth, and his angels with him."

God must destroy Satan in order to save us but how was Satan's sin revealed?

Mark 14: 55- "The chief priests and the whole Sanhedrin were looking for evidence against Jesus so that they could put him to death, but they did not find any. Many testified falsely against him, but their statements did not agree."

Satan used these people to falsely accuse innocent blood. Satan is the intentional murderer, where can the unintentional murderers flee for safety?

Hebrews 12:22- "But you have come to Mount Zion, to the heavenly Jerusalem, the city of the living God. You have come upon thousands of angels in joyful assembly, to the church of the firstborn, whose names are written in heaven."

Revelations 18:2- "With a mighty voice he shouted: 'Fallen! Fallen is Babylon the Great! She has become a home for demons and a haunt for every evil spirit, a haunt for every unclean and detestable bird.'"

Revelations 18:24- "In her was found the blood of prophets and of the saints, and of all who have been killed on the earth."

Babylon is controlled by Satan and now God wants to payback Satan the false accuser. In order to destroy Satan, we need the law to expose his sin.

Romans 3:29- "Do we, then, nullify the law by this faith? Not at all! Rather, we uphold the law.

Romans 5:19- "For just as through the disobedience of the one man the many were made sinners, so also through the obedience of the one man the many will be made righteous."

Isaiah 2:3- "Many people’s will come and say, 'Come, let us go up to the mountain of the Lord, to the house of the God of Jacob. He will teach us his ways, so that we may walk his paths.' The law will go out from Zion, the word of the Lord from Jerusalem."

Our Heavenly Father Christ Ahnsahnghong and Heavenly Mother came to this earth to restore the truth and all of the law by which Satan may be destroyed and we may be saved! I give eternal thanks to Christ Ahnsahnghong and Mother for their endless love and mercy on us sinners. Without this law, without Zion, and without Christ Ahnsahnghong and Heavenly Mother, Satan would continue to lead us all astray. Thank you Father Ahnsahnghong and Heavenly Mother.

Recently I was thinking about God’s laws in the Bible. There is so much dispute about God’s laws. Some people strictly try to follow the Old Testament Law, others loosely adhere to the New Testament, others say that the Law was abolished and we don’t need to follow them anymore. Actually, very recently our Heavenly Father Ahnsahnghong and Heavenly Mother revealed the purpose of the Law and the importance of keeping it. Thanks to our Heavenly Father Christ Ahnsahnghong, we can see clearly how important God’s Laws are according to the Bible.

Romans 5:12- "Therefore, just as sin entered the world through one man, and death through sin, and in this way death came to all men, because all sinned for before the law was given, sin was in the world."

But sin is not taken into account when there is no law. In the same way Adam sinned, all men have sinned. Adam and Eve disobeyed God and ate from the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil, so we know we committed the same sin. Sin is not taken into account when there is no law. The law reveals our sins.

Romans 7:7- "What shall we say, then? Is the law sin? Certainly not! Indeed I would not have known what sin was except through the law."

The law allows us to fully understand our sins. Why did God make the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil?
Genesis 2:16- "And the Lord God commanded the man, "You are free to eat from any tree in the garden; but you must not eat tree of knowledge of good and evil, for when you eat of it you will surely die.""

Through this law, what was exposed?

Genesis 3:1- "Now the serpent was more crafty than any of the wild animals the Lord God had made. He said to the woman, "Did God really say, 'You must not eat from any tree in the garden'?"

This is when the serpent tempted Eve and caused her to eat from the forbidden tree. When God asked Adam what he had done, he blamed Eve and Eve blamed the serpent. Then who is the one that originated sin? The serpent was exposed through this but let's see the reason for God giving the law.

Hebrews 10:1- "The law is only a shadow of the good things that are
coming--not the realities themselves."

If there is a shadow, there should be a reality. Let's first understand the shadow.

Deuteronomy 19:1- "When the Lord your God has destroyed the nations whose land he is giving you, and when you have driven them out and settled in their towns and houses, then set aside for yourselves three cities centrally located in the land the Lord your God is giving you to possess. Build roads to them and divide into three parts the land the Lord your God is giving you as an inheritance, so that anyone who kills a man may flee there. This is the rule concerning the man who kills another and flees there to save his life--one who kills his neighbor unintentionally, without malice or aforethought....19:11- But if a man hates his neighbor and lies in wait for him, assaults and kills him, and then flees to one of these cities, the elders of his town shall send for him, brings him back from the city, and hand him over to the avenger of blood to die."

This verse is concerning two types of people, unintentional murderers and intentional murderers. This law is a shadow, let's look for the reality.

John 1:17- "For the law came through Moses; grace and truth came through Jesus Christ."

In Christ we can find the reality. Then in my next post we can see the reality of the law through Christ. I give thanks to our Heavenly Father Christ Ahnsahnghong and Heavenly Mother for this understanding of Their love.

1 Corinthians 11:23- "For I received from the Lord what I also passed on
to you..."

Philippians 3:17- "Join with others in following my example, brother,
and take note of those who live according to the pattern we gave you."


1 Peter 2:21- "To this you were called, because Christ suffered for you,
leaving you an example, that you should follow in his footsteps.

Even apostle Paul gave us an example to follow which he received from
Christ. This too shows us that our actions are very important in our
lives of faith.

So I pose the question, why are our actions so important?

Revelations 1:3- "Blessed is the one who reads the words of this
prophecy, and blessed are those who hear it and take to heart what is
written in it, because the time is near."

James 1:22- "Do not merely listen to the word, and so deceive
yourselves. Do what it says. Anyone who listens to the word but does
not do what it says is like a man who looks at his face in a mirror and,
after looking at himself, goes away and immediately forgets what he
looks like. But the man who looks intently on the perfect law that
gives freedom, and continues to do this, not forgetting what he has
heard, but doing it- he will be blessed in what he does."

I truly wish to thank our Heavenly Father Christ Ahnsahnghong and
Heavenly Mother for leaving their thrones behind to reveal this amazing
truth. Christ Ahnsahnghong and Heavenly Mother came and set us an example to follow just as Jesus did 2000 years ago. They came and established Zion, the Church of God World Mission
Society so we can come freely to learn all the mysteries in the Bible.

  • It appears that ever since I came to the Church of God World
    Mission Society, I've been hearing one common theme from friends and
    family like a resounding gong. This central idea that everyone has been
    expressing to me lately is that we are saved by our faith, our belief in
    Jesus Christ is what gets us into the kingdom of heaven.
  • Now I don't know about anyone who may be reading this but
    personally, when it comes to matters such as salvation, I make sure that
    I am extra careful to find the correct answers. So I took the time to
    review some of the things I've studied in the Bible and came across some
    very compelling verses on this issue.
  • John 13:15- "I have set you an example that you should do as I have
    done for you."
  • John 14:15- "If you love me you will obey what I command."
  • It can clearly be seen that if we desire to love God, we must obey what
    he commanded. But what did he command? That follow the example that
    set for us.
  • Between these two verses, it is plain to me that just believing is God
    is not enough. Believing in God and confessing His name is the
    beginning of our path to salvation. However, it is clear in the Bible
    that our beliefs and confessions must be backed by our actions.
    This understanding was revealed by our Heavenly Father Christ
    Ahnsahnghong who came to remind us of all of Jesus Christ's teachings.
    Although Christ Ahnsahnghong gave us enough to understand from these
    verses, I presume that if the readers of this blog may be something like
    me and may not be satisfied with just these verses. In this case I will
    post again very soon to show what else Christ Ahnsahnghong said on this
    matter.

Christ Ahnsahnghong Revealed Our True Home

A few weeks ago I had to let my coworkers know that I was taking off from work in order to attend a special even at the Church of God World Mission Society. So one of them complained that I’m always taking off of work for church. He kept saying that I’ll never make a good living or have a great life if I’m always taking off for church.

Immediately I thought about how our Heavenly Father Christ Ahnsahnghong and Heavenly Mother taught us that our true home is not on this earth.
I showed my coworker what this earth really is according to the Bible.

Psalms 102:19- “The Lord looked down from his sanctuary on high, from heaven he viewed the earth, to hear the groans of the prisoners and release those condemned to death.” Then why would God look down to the earth and describe us as prisoners? Obviously because God views this earth as a prison. Then if God call this earth a prison, should I consider it my home?
Let’s see what one of the most well known characters in the Old Testament says about his time here on earth.

Genesis 47:8- “Pharaoh asked him, ‘How old are you?’ And Jacob said to Pharaoh, ‘The years of my pilgrimage are a hundred and thirty.’”
When Pharaoh asked Jacob his age, instead of just saying I am 130 years old, he said the years of his pilgrimage are 130. Then what does this mean? A pilgrimage is a journey in which one leaves his home to visit another place or city. According to Jacob, his time on this earth was just a journey away from his home.

Even King David let us know more about this fact.
Psalms 119:18- “Open my eyes that I may see wonderful things in your law. I am a stranger on earth; do not hide your commands from me.” King David said he was a stranger on earth, how can we consider this earth our home then?

By this time my coworker was pretty clear on where I was going with this. He understood that I’m not worried about having a life like Donald Trump on this earth because this is not our true home. However, I wanted to share with him one more verse in which our Father Christ Ahnsahnghong made it very clear that this earth is not our home.

Hebrews 11:13- “All these people were still living by faith when they died. They did not receive the things promised; they only saw them and welcomed them from a distance. And they admitted that they were aliens and strangers on earth. People who say such things show that they are looking for a country of their own. If they had been thinking of the country they had left, they would have had opportunity to return. Instead they were longing for a better country- a heavenly one. Therefore God is not ashamed to be called their God, for he has prepared a city for them.

Thanks to our Heavenly Father Christ Ahnsahnghong and Heavenly Mother because they came to remind us of our true heavenly home. Christ Ahnsahnghong and Heavenly Mother came to bring us back to our heavenly home from this earthly prison. I think my coworker understood that I’m not overly concerned with having a glorious life on this earth because we at the Church of God World Mission Society have a glorious life in a beautiful city waiting for us in the kingdom of heaven.

Why Do I Believe in Christ Ahnsahnghong?

Since I’ve been at the Church of God World Mission Society, many people have asked me why I believe in Christ Ahnsahnghong. They say after all, he’s just a man. So I tell them that the reason I believe in Father Christ Ahnsahnghong is because there is overwhelming evidence in the Bible that proves he is God and Second Coming Christ. If I were to deny him, I would be denying the Bible and Jesus Christ.

This is how I explained it to my sister once. I showed her all the verses in the Old Testament in which Jehovah commanded the Israelites to keep the Feasts of God such as Sabbath, Passover, Unleavened Bread, First Fruits, Feast of Trumpets, Day of Atonement and the Feast of Tabernacles (Leviticus 23:1).

Then I showed her the New Testament and how Jesus Christ kept the Feasts of God such as Sabbath (Luke 4:16) and Passover (Luke 22:7). Clearly the Bible testifies that only true God can command the Feasts of God to be kept and only true God can tell us how to keep them.

In the same way, Christ Ahnsahnghong commanded us to keep all the Feasts of God. Throughout the entire Bible, no one ever kept these important feasts unless God reminded them (Numbers 9:1). Then how could Christ Ahnsahnghong tell us how and when to keep all of God’s Feasts? Think about it, these feasts have been in the Bible for thousands of years, any one could have kept them right? However, these feasts weren’t kept for 1600 years because only God can restore them. Our Heavenly Father Christ Ahnsahnghong was the one to come and restore all of God’s Feasts making him the Second Coming Christ, GOD ALMIGHTY! May all thanks be to our Heavenly Father Christ Ahnsahnghong and Mother.

Friday, December 7, 2007

The other day one of my friends asked me to hang out after work. I told him that I couldn’t because I was going to church (The Church of God World Mission Society). He asked my I waste so much time at church. I replied that it is not a waste, I go to learn more about God’s will and how to return to the kingdom of heaven.

At this point he decided to recite his favorite verse, John 8:32 “Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.” So I asked him what is truth? And from what do we need to be set free?

My friend said that Jesus is the truth and he set us free from the Law.
I took out my Bible and asked to continue reading John 8 until he got to verse 34. John 8:34 says that everyone who sins is a slave to sin. Then who is a slave to sin? Romans 6:23, the wages of sin = death. Everyone has to die, then it is because everyone sins, therefore we are all slaves to sin and death.

Since we are all slaves to sin and death, we all need this truth to set us free. What is truth, I asked him. I said that we should check the Bible to be 100% sure because this is very important.
In John 6:53 Jesus says, “I tell you the truth” and then continues to say that only if we eat his flesh and drink his blood can we have eternal life. Eating Jesus’ flesh and blood is the truth that gives us eternal life and frees us from sin and death. I showed him how Jesus taught us to eat his flesh and blood, Matthew 26:17, through the Passover.

Through these verses, we can see clearly that the Passover is the truth which gives us eternal life and sets us free from sin and death. However, John 17:3 says that eternal life is that we may know true God and Jesus Christ. In order to know true God and Jesus to gain eternal life, we must keep the Passover which is the truth that Jesus taught us.

After all this, he asked me how I knew this. I told him it is because our Heavenly Father Christ Ahnsahnghong and Heavenly Mother Jerusalem came to this earth to reveal all the truth in the Bible. They came show us how to gain eternal life because they love us so much.
