(Christ Ahnsahnghong, WMSCOG) The Church of God Does Not Tell All Information to New Members [Truth Ab...



World Mission Society Church of God (WMSCOG) believes in Christ Ahnsahnghong and God the Mother.
World Mission Society Church of God (WMSCOG) believes in Christ Ahnsahnghong and Heavenly Mother.




The Church of God does not make known everything to new members from the beginning. Things like, "It needs personal time to study the Bible," "Members must keep the Sabbath fully," and "Tithes" are taught lastly. Since the church does not make known all information from the beginning, new members cannot make the right decision and are deceived.

.........

According to their insistence, Jesus who was willing to suffer on the cross to save humankind also deceived His disciples. Therefore, their claim is wrong.

(Christ Ahnsahnghong, wmscog) We Must Pray in the Name of Jesus Just as Christ Ahnsahnghong Did?

World Mission Society Church of God (WMSCOG) believes in Christ Ahnsahnghong and God the Mother.
World Mission Society Church of God (WMSCOG) believes in Christ Ahnsahnghong and Heavenly Mother.


[False Claim]

During his life, Christ Ahnsahnghong taught us that we must pray in the one and only name Jesus, setting an example by praying in the name of Jesus. Nowadays, praying in the name of Ahnsahnghong goes against his teachings.




[Counterargument]
1. Faith of believing in Christ Ahnsahnghong until the end

When Christ Ahnsahnghong was on this earth, did they follow Him until the end?
If yes, why don’t they believe in Heavenly Mother that Christ Ahnsahnghong testified about? The fact that they do not believe in Heavenly Mother proves that they did not follow Christ Ahnsahnghong until the end, and that they are far from His teachings.

What is even worse is that they do not even know who Christ Ahnsahnghong is. It is inherently hilarious that these people even mention the teachings of Christ Ahnsahnghong.




2. Did Jesus pray in His name at His first coming?

Did Jesus pray in His name for three years when He came the first time? No!
Throughout the three years, Jesus did not teach to pray in His name nor set an example to do so.
He told His disciples to pray in His name at the Passover night just before He left the world.
Jn16:24 “Until now you have not asked for anything in my name. Ask and you will receive, and your joy will be complete.”
Jn14:12-13 “. . . because I am going to the Father. And I will do whatever you ask in my name . . .”

Because of this, can we denounce the disciples because they prayed in the name of Jesus after He left this world? Certainly not!

It is the same for the second coming. Therefore, their claim is exactly identical as saying that the early Church did not follow the teachings of Jesus because they prayed in His name.

(Christ Ahnsahnghong, wmscog) Love is “Waiting”

World Mission Society Church of God (wmscog) believes in Christ Ahnsahnghong and God the Mother.
World Mission Society Church of God (wmscog) believes in Christ Ahnsahnghong and Heavenly Mother.


When I was in elementary school, I always tried to memorize the multiplication tables after supper.

Day by day, I would go and on memorizing after school.

Finally, it was the day when I succeeded.


My parents were full of smiles, and I was really proud of myself.


Since I was a slow learner, being anxious, I would always complain to my parents.


My parents would then just smile and pat my shoulders.


Looking at my exam papers full of red marks just like a red shower, they would have been more anxious than me thinking, "What if my child is way behind others?"


But they would never push me to study, but waited until I did well by myself.


Thinking of how my parents in my childhood, I believe my parents' life was an “endless waiting.”


When I was in my mother's womb, they waited for me to be born for a time of 10 months.


Even when I first started to walk, when I first started to talk, they waited.


I would cry day and night and would have annoyed them, not wanting to be apart from them for even a moment.



Though I got sick frequently making them always feel anxious, all that they remembered about me was a cute little baby toddling and saying "mommy or daddy."


Though I was slow and lacking compared to other children, they would think it's their entire fault and felt sorry.



They would always take care of me as an apple of their eyes, fed me the best food, and always prayed for me to grow well.


Parents call this kind of love, "the elders' love for the young," or "parental love."


The source of this love comes from the continuous time of waiting, and from the infinite belief towards their child.



Our Heavenly Parents, who came down to this earth to find Their lost children...


Our Heavenly Parents' love is much more than that.



“Can a mother forget the baby at her breast and have no compassion on the child she has borne? Though she may forget, I will not forget you! (Isa 49:15)”



Like how it says, Heavenly Mother willingly came with lowly clothes of a sinner.


Heavenly Parents' love is so deep that they would never give up though the children are slow to realize. Their children found in the long time of waiting, for 6,000 years.



They would always cover the children's sins, always give teachings full of love, guide them to the best ways, and always praise them even for their small efforts.



Though They would never have a day without worry or concern towards Their children, They would earnestly pray for them all night long, always firmly believing that their immature children would realize.



Through all this, they would forget Their safety.


Thinking about the heart of my Heavenly Parents, I look back, if I was truly a good daughter.


Though Heavenly Father and Heavenly Mother is pleased seeing Their children uniting with each other, rather embracing my brothers and sisters with love, didn't I push them away from me just because they were different from me?



Though Heavenly Father and Heavenly Mother always waiting and endured, rather waiting for my brothers and sisters to realize, didn't I just gave up on them?


Thinking about my past, I can't lift up my head being so sorry and embarrassed to my Heavenly Parents.


Though I said I knew Their hearts, those were the days which I never really tried to put Their words into actions.



I truly thank Heavenly Father and Heavenly Mother for loving me, and waiting for a long time for this weak child to realize.



From now on, I will love my brothers and sisters, even the parts they are lacking, understand, help them, and walk the way of the gospel work which God is pleased with.

(Christ Ahnsahnghong, wmscog) God the Mother Does Not Exist Because There Are No Father’s Records About “Elohim”?

World Mission Society Church of God (wmscog) believes in Christ Ahnsahnghong and God the Mother.
World Mission Society Church of God (WMSCOG) believes in Christ Ahnsahnghong and Heavenly Mother.

[False Claim of NCPCOG]

In the Truth Books and the sermon tapes that Christ Ahnsahnghong left, there is no teaching that the Hebrew word “elohim” indicates plural God. “elohim” is an expression made by the General Pastor of the Church of God afterwards. Therefore, God the Mother does not exist.




[Countermeasure]
1. “Elohim” is the word of God

About 3,500 years ago, Moses designated God as “Elohim,” the plural term of God, in the Hebrew Bible. “elohim” is a Biblical word which God let the prophets record, being carried along by the Holy Spirit. How can they insist that the word, which God made recorded, was made up by the General Pastor?
Moreover, the LORD God, who let Moses record His words in the Bible, is Christ Ahnsahnghong. So the Hebrew word “elohim” is one of the teachings of Christ Ahnsahnghong, regardless of the age when it was recorded.




2. Christ Ahnsahnghong testified to Heavenly Mother, irrelevant to the term

For example, we cannot find the word “Holy Trinity” in the Bible. For this reason, can we say the Bible does not testify about the triune God? I’m afraid not. That is because the Bible clearly testifies about the triune God. In other words, the usage of the term is not the crux of the problem.
In the same way, it is not important whether or not Christ Ahnsahnghong used the word elohim. What matters is whether or not He testified about God the Mother.

There are a lot of definite testimonies of Christ Ahnsahnghong about Heavenly Mother, which no one can deny. So the NCPCOG’s insistence is nothing but a play on words. (As for Christ Ahnsahnghong’s testimony about Heavenly Mother, refer to clauses 4, 5, 6 of 1-2.)




3. A question that NCPCOG can never answer

God our Creator said, “Let us make man.” Therefore, God who created man is definitely more than one. Since the NCPCOG claims that they, too, believe in the teachings of Christ Ahnsahnghong, they can never say that the “us” in Genesis 1 indicates the triune God.

Then to whom does God who said, “Let us make man,” refer to except God the Father? Why is it plural? Answer this question!




<Supplementary Explanation>

If they insist that Elohim who is referred to as “us” in Genesis 1 indicates God and the angels, we can easily prove that their claim is wrong. Elohim God who is referred to as “us” in Genesis 1, is God who created the heavens, the earth and man for six days.
So, if they insist that “Elohim” refer to God and the angels, this means that they have to worship the angels, too, as the creators. Is it true? Not at all!
It is a blasphemous thought unimaginable for a person who believes in God. According to the Bible, the angels testify that God is the only Creator and we must worship God only.
Rev 14:6-7 Then I saw another angel flying in midair, and he had the eternal gospel to proclaim to those who live on the earth—to every nation, tribe, language and people. He (angel) said in a loud voice, “Fear God and give him glory, because the hour of his judgment has come. Worship him who made the heavens, the earth, the sea and the springs of water.”

Whom does the angel refer to as the Creator who made the heavens, the earth, the sea, and the springs of water?
The angel refers to God as the Creator.
Did the angel say that he also made the heavens and the earth? No!
The angel only referred to God as the Creator of the heavens and the earth, and told us to worship God, the Creator. All angels testified that we must worship God only, not them.

Therefore, “Elohim” in Genesis 1 cannot include the angels.
Rev 19:9-10 Then the angel said to me, “Write: ‘Blessed are those who are invited to the wedding supper of the Lamb!’ ” And he added, “These are the true words of God.” At this I fell at his feet to worship him. But he said to me, “Do not do it! I am a fellow servant with you and with your brothers who hold to the testimony of Jesus. Worship God! For the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy.”
Rev 22:8-9 I, John, am the one who heard and saw these things. And when I had heard and se en them, I fell down to worship at the feet of the angel who had been showing them to me. But he said to me, “Do not do it! I am a fellow servant with you and with your brothers the prophets and of all who keep the words of this book. Worship God!”

(christ Ahnsahnghong, wmscog) Christ Ahnsahnghong Said That Jerusalem Is the 144,000? (Misusing Father’s Book)

World Mission Society Church of God (wmscog) believes in Christ Ahnsahnghong and God the Mother.
World Mission Society Church of God (wmscog) believes in Christ Ahnsahnghong and Heavenly Mother.



[False Claim of NCPCOG]

In the book Christ Ahnsahnghong wrote, “Explanation on the New Jerusalem and the Bride, and on Women’s Veil” it is written that the heavenly Jerusalem is the 144,000 saints. This proves that Christ Ahnsahnghong denied the existence of Heavenly Mother.




[Countermeasure]
1. It is wrong to quote the book, “Explanation on the New Jerusalem and the Bride, and on Women’s Veil”

For more explanation, please refer to “ Christ Ahnsahnghong Said That Heavenly Mother Does Not Exist (Misusing Father’s Book).”




2. Do the 144,000 saints come down from heaven?

Father said that the 144,000 saints are those who will be taken up to heaven alive. In other words, while living the life of faith on the earth, the 144,000 saints will be suddenly changed on the Judgment Day without dying and receive God in the air as the last saints(1Th 4:17).“The Law of Moses and the Law of Christ,” Ch. 8Now, the number of the spiritual Israelites, the so-called Christians all over the world, is like the sand by the sea. However, the number of the chosen, the children of promise who will be changed to enter alive into heaven, is only 144,000 (Rev 7:2-4).




Therefore, if the heavenly Jerusalem stands for the 144,000 saints, it cannot be said that they come down from heaven. Rather, it must be said that they go up to heaven. However, the Bible testifies that the new Jerusalem comes down from heaven. Therefore, their insistence is wrong.




3. The reason Father said that the new Jerusalem is the 144,000 saints

Why did Father say that the new Jerusalem city stands for the 144,000? It’s because it was not the right time to testify about Heavenly Mother.
Even though there was another Savior who was to come in the name of Jesus and His new name, the Bible said in the age of God the Father that only Jehovah was the Savior (Isa 43:11); and in the prophecies about the last days, the Bible prophesied that people would be saved in the name of Jehovah, even though Jehovah was not the name of the Savior in the last days (Joel 2:32; Mal 4:2). All the words and the prophecies were expressed within the limitations of the truth granted in the age of God the Father.

It was the same with the situation before Father testified to Heavenly Mother.
However, even when Father did not completely reveal the truth about Heavenly Mother, He testified that the 144,000 saints themselves are not the heavenly new Jerusalem. Just as a temple was named after its builder like Solomon Temple, it becomes the New Jerusalem’s Temple. Doesn’t it mean that the construction of the heavenly new Jerusalem temple will be completed by Heavenly Mother who is the new Jerusalem?“The Message to the Church in Laodicea” (1960), Ch. 15When the 144,000 living saints are all found, the heavenly Jerusalem Temple is completed. I am not saying that the 144,000 saints themselves are the temple. In the past, a temple was named after the name of its builder: Solomon Temple, Zerubbabel Temple, Nehemiah Temple, Herod Temple. Like this, by gathering the 144,000 living saints, the New Jerusalem Temple is completed.

(Christ Ahnsahnghong) The Church of God Distributed Fliers on Time-Limited Eschatology?

World Mission Society Church of God(WMSCOG) believes in Christ Ahnsahnghong and God the Mother.
World Mission Society Church of God(WMSCOG) believes in Christ Ahnsahnghong and Heavenly Mother.

[False Claim]

The Church of God prophesied that the world would end in 1988, which was wrong. This flier is the evidence that the church proclaims the end of the world.































[Countermeasure]
1. Invalid evidence

How can they prove that it is from the Church of God? Is there a single picture that the members of the Church of God distributed it?
For example, if somebody made a flier of time-limited eschatology with a wicked intention and claims that “Church A” distributed it 12 years ago, can it be valid?




2. Worship service time on the flier

On the backside of the flier, it says the service time for the Feast of Tabernacles is at 5:30am, 10:30am, 3:30pm, and 8pm.

However, the Church of God’s service time for autumn feasts is at 5am, 10am, 2:30pm, and 7:30pm. The service time listed on the flier is not the same with the service time for the World Mission Society Church of God.
Therefore, this false flier cannot be used as evidence that the Church of God proclaims the end of the earth.




<Supplementary Explanation>

Salvation does not depend on whether or not we know the date

Christ Ahnsahnghong taught that salvation does not depend on whether or not we know the day or hour. Keeping this in mind, we must believe in Father and Mother who have restored all the truth of the new covenant.

From the Preface of “The Bridegroom Was a Long Time in Coming, and They All Became Drowsy and Fell Asleep” Every prophecy in the Bible must be fulfilled. However, because Christ set the date and also said, “The bridegroom is a long time in coming,” it is a very difficult matter. However, those who firmly believe and obey the new covenant will receive eternal life. Salvation does not depend on whether or not you know the date, but it depends on whether or not you know and believe and obey the truth of the new covenant. If we do not believe the truth but focus on the date, we will be tempted by Satan and fall away from the truth and church before the day.


However, those who believe and obey the new covenant, regardless of the date, will be saved because “to obey is better than sacrifice.”

If someone knows the date of God’s coming and does not do any work, what would the master say? The master would say, “You wicked, lazy servant! Although you knew when I was coming, why didn’t you let others know?” However, to those who do not know the date but faithfully work for the master, he will say, “Good and faithful servant! You have been faithful with a few things; I will put you in charge of many things.” When you read this book, you will know what to do. Amen.

(Christ Ahnsahnghong) The New Name in Revelation 2 Is Jesus, Which the Saints Who Repent Will Receive?

World Mission Society Church of God(WMSCOG) believes in Christ Ahnsahnghong and God the Mother.
World Mission Society Church of God(WMSCOG) believes in Christ Ahnsahnghong and Heavenly Mother.



[False Claim]

The insistence of the Church of God, “Ahnsahnghong is the new name,” is false.

First, the new name in Revelation 2 is the name of Christ, which people receive again when they come back to Christ after repenting of their having followed the teachings of false prophets like Balaam and Nicolaitans. That is why the name of Christ becomes a new name for them. Therefore, the new name in Revelation 2 does not represent other names like Ahnsahnghong, but the very name Jesus. There is no other name than Jesus to receive salvation (Ac 4:12).

Secondly, even the book that Christ Ahnsahnghong wrote testifies that we will receive salvation through the name of Jesus in the last days.

“The Mystery of God and the Spring of the Water of Life,” Ch. 12 About the Trinity

Only Jesus can be the Savior’s name not only at His first coming but even in the last days.







[Countermeasure]
1. The “new” name means the “other” name that has never been used before

If the new name in Rev 2:17 is Christ’s name that false prophet followers receive after coming back to God with repentance, it means that the new name is Jesus. If then, it is the same name that they received before, so how can we say it is the “new name”? It would be correct to say that they receive the previous name “again.” However, the Bible does not say that they receive it “again,” but receive the “new” name. Therefore, what they insist is just nonsense.

Moreover, those who are against our church omit the words of Rev 3:12, and only focus on misinterpreting the meaning of Rev 2:17. However, if we read Rev 3:12, Jesus clearly said that He would give “my new name” to those who overcome. In this verse, the “new” name of Jesus refers to His new name. In other words, it is a “different” name that has never been used. So, the name “Jesus,” which had already been used when the book of Revelation was written, can never be the new name of Jesus that will be given in the future. Therefore, their interpretation is wrong.




2. The white stone, which the new name is written on, does not indicate Jesus who came the first time, but Jesus who comes a second time

The stone in Rev 2:17 does not refer to Jesus whom the saints had already accepted in that age. It is because the white stone in Rev 2:17 is not the stone that was already given, but will be given in the future. Therefore, the stone in Rev 2:17 does not refer to Jesus who already came 2,000 years ago but to Jesus who comes a second time in the future. It means the new name of Jesus is the name of the Second Coming Jesus.

Just as the Bible describes Jesus who came the first time in the flesh as the stone (Ac 4:11; 1 Pe 2:4), it also describes Jesus who comes a second time in the flesh as the stone. We can confirm this fact through the prophecy of Daniel 2; the rock [stone] cut out of a mountain, which represents God from heaven, is to come not in the age of Rome which is compared to iron, but in the age when Rome is divided into ten kingdoms. Therefore, when the book of Revelation was written, the stone that was prophesied to be given in the future must be Jesus who comes a second time, and the new name on the stone must be the name of the Second Coming Jesus.
Da 2:34 . . . a rock [stone] was cut out . . . struck the statue on its feet of iron and clay and smashed them.
Da 2:44 “In the time of those kings, the God of heaven will set up a kingdom . . .”




3. Comparing Rev 3:12 with Rev 19:7

We can confirm the fact that the new name of Jesus is the name of the Second Coming Jesus even by comparing Rev 3:12 with Rev 19:7.

In Rev 3:12 it is prophesied that on the people who overcome, the new name of Jesus will be written along with the name of the new Jerusalem coming down from heaven. In the book of Revelation, “the new Jerusalem coming down out of heaven” is the bride, the wife of the Lamb (Rev 21:9; 19:7). The bride will appear with the Lamb (Rev 22:17; 19:7). That is why the name of the bride and the name of the Lamb must be given together.

However, in Rev 19:7, the Lamb is not Jesus who came the first time but Jesus who comes a second time. It is because the bride did not appear at His first coming. Therefore, the name of the bride who comes down out of heaven, that is, the name of the new Jerusalem, and the name of the Second Coming Jesus will be given at the same time. If we connect this with Rev 3:12, we can clearly understand that Jesus’ new name in Rev 3:12 surely indicates the name of the Second Coming Jesus, and the new name that was written on the rock in Rev 2:17, too, is the name of the Second Coming Jesus.




4. Why did Christ Ahnsahnghong write that in His Truth Book?

Opposers are not concerned about the time when the book, “The Mystery of God and the Spring of the Water of Life (published in 1980)” was written, but only misuse its literal contents. When Christ Ahnsahnghong wrote the book, He did not teach that we should pray in His name or that we can receive salvation through His name just yet.

That is why He wrote that in His book. It is just like the time when Jesus, at His first coming, did not teach His disciple to pray in His name until He left this earth even though He was with them for three years (Jn 16:24; 14:12-14). In the same way, the text of the Truth Book is a very natural expression.




5. How are they going to explain the prophecy, “We have to call on the name of Jehovah in the last days to be saved”?

If they want to claim that the content of the Truth Book is false, they must first insist that all the churches of the world are in error. The prophet Joel prophesied, “Those who call on the name of ‘Jehovah’ will be saved in the last days (before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the LORD).”


Joel 2:31-32 The sun will be turned to darkness and the moon to blood before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the LORD. And everyone who calls on the name of the LORD will be saved.



If we follow this verse literally, God’s people should call on the name of Jehovah to be saved in the last days, not the name of Jesus. But why do all the churches in the world call on the name of Jesus not Jehovah? They must answer this.

In the time of the prophet Joel, neither the name of Jesus, nor the new name of Jesus, was given yet, so the prophet used the name of the Savior in that age, “Jehovah.” In the same way, Christ Ahnsahnghong wrote that in the book, “The Mystery of God and the Spring of the Water of Life.” Their interpretation about the Truth Book is absolutely wrong.




<Supplementary Explanation>

1. They interpreted that “he who overcomes” who will receive the white stone refers to the people who repent of having followed the teachings of Balaam and Nicolaitans. Yet, in the verse, the Spirit says to the “churches,” not to one specific church. It means that this verse is not only for the church in Pergamum. In actuality, all the messages to the seven churches, not only the message to the church in Pergamum, say about the blessing for “he who overcomes,” right?


Rev 2:17 “He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. To him who overcomes, I will give some of the hidden manna. I will also give him a white stone with a new name written on it, known only to him who receives it.”



We can understand this verse as the blessing for the true people of God, who do God’s will, beyond ages, but especially the book of Revelation prophesied that the saints who

are with the Lamb will overcome the power of the beast at His second coming. So, the promise for those who overcome, including Rev 2:17, is for the 144,000 saints who are to be with the Second Coming Jesus.


Rev 17:14 “They will make war against the Lamb, but the Lamb will overcome them because he is Lord of lords and King of kings―and with him will be his called, chosen and faithful followers.”
Rev 19:11-16 I saw heaven standing open and there before me was a white horse, whose rider is called Faithful and True. With justice he judges and makes war. His eyes are like blazing fire, and on his head are many crowns. He has a name written on him that no one knows but he himself. He is dressed in a robe dipped in blood, and his name is the Word of God. The armies of heaven were following him, riding on white horses and dressed in fine linen, white and clean. Out of his mouth comes a sharp sword with which to strike down the nations. “He will rule them with an iron scepter.” He treads the winepress of the fury of the wrath of God Almighty. On his robe and on his thigh he has this name written: KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS.
Rev 19:19-20 Then I saw the beast and the kings of the earth and their armies gathered together to make war against the rider on the horse and his army. But the beast was captured, and with him the false prophet who had performed the miraculous signs on his behalf . . .
