Do you truly love me?[WMSCOG]

What should those who truly love God in the age of Holy Spirit do?

According to the bible which is God's word, they follow the new covenant; Passover, Sabbath and so on...

But, there are many people who don't follow the words of God but say that we love God. Does it make sence? Nope!!!!

God say that I don't know them[Mt. 7:21-23]!!

World Mission Society Church of God[WMSCOG] follow the new covenant as Jesus set an example.

crc.ac

Two thousand years ago, Jesus said to Simon Peter three times, “Do you truly love me?” At his questions, Peter repeated the same answer: “Yes, Lord, you know that I love you.” After confirming his consistent and passionate mind, Jesus entrusted him with His sheep by saying, “Feed my sheep.”

When they had finished eating, Jesus said to Simon Peter, “Simon son of John, do you truly love me more than these?” “Yes, Lord,” he said, “you know that I love you.” Jesus said, “Feed my lambs.” Again Jesus said, “Simon son of John, do you truly love me?” He answered, “Yes, Lord, you know that I love you.” Jesus said, “Take care of my sheep.” The third time he said to him, “Simon son of John, do you love me?” Peter was hurt because Jesus asked him the third time, “Do you love me?” He said, “Lord, you know all things; you know that I love you.” Jesus said, “Feed my sheep. (John 21:15-17)

This becomes a good model for pastors and priests who say they love Christ today. In revival services, sermons or prayers, they do not forget to say, “Lord, I love You.” I even saw pastors who raising their arms towards sky and shouted “I love Christ.”  If they love Jesus so much, they are expected to feed the sheep. Then, how to feed the sheep?

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)

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 is my body.” Then he took the cup, gave thanks and offered it to them, saying, “Drink from it, all of you. This is my blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many for the forgiveness of sins. (Matthew 26:19-28)

If you love me, you will obey what I command. (John 14:15)

Jesus established the new covenant to give life to the sheep and to give the forgiveness of sins and eternal life to them. And He taught us that we should keep the rules and regulations of the new covenant if we love Him. The Apostle Peter loved Jesus with all his heart. Thus, he kept the Sabbath day and the Passover of the new covenant, and fed the sheep by preaching the rules of the new covenant. The Apostle Paul, who loved Jesus more than others, also fed the sheep with the regulations of the new covenant (1 Corinthians 5:7-8; Acts 17:2.)

Unfortunately,  pastors and priests, who confess that they love Jesus more than their own lives, consider the Sabbath and the Passover of the new covenant established by Jesus heretic while faithfully keeping the Sunday service and Christmas, the rules of pagan religions. Anyone can say love with lips. However, those who contradict what they say cannot be said that they truly love Jesus. If pastors of today truly love Jesus like the Apostles Peter and Paul, they have to show actions first by following the words of Jesus, don’t they?

Why do you call me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ and do not do what I say? (Luke 6:46)

Jesus is the Lord of the Sabbath[World Mission Society Church of God]

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.
WMSCOG keeps Sabbath, Saturday.

Heavenly citizenship for those doing the Father's will_1

 When the eternal kingdom comes, the most valuable thing is the citizenship of heaven. Even though tens of thousands of people give us their American citizenship cards, we will never exchange our heavenly citizenship for theirs. We are envied by all the spiritual beings in the universe. God tells us how to acquire the citizenship of heaven.

 Mt 7:21-23 "Not everyone who says to me, Lord, Lord,' will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only he who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. Many will say to me on that day, Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and in your name drive out demons and perform many miracles?' Then I will tell them plainly, I never knew you. Away from me, you evildoers!'"

 Nobody can enter the kingdom of heaven without the citizenship of heaven. Then, who can acquire the heavenly citizenship? Only those who do the will of the heavenly Father can acquire it. The Bible clearly shows us the way to obtain the citizenship of heaven and also the reason to be rejected.

 Those who have American citizenship can travel freely in and out of the country; none of them are refused entrance to it. How about those who try to enter the country without its citizenship? Immigration officers inspect them, asking why they visit the country and how long they will stay there. After passing through the inspection, they are admitted into America.
 We can find the same situation in Matthew 7:21-23. Only those who do the Father's will are admitted into heaven. For God grants the citizenship of heaven only to them. Without the heavenly citizenship, no one can enter the kingdom of heaven.

 Even a nation's citizenship in this earth is given through the admission of the country. In order to acquire American citizenship, immigrants must pass through an examination. Who is the first president of the United States?' or When did the Civil War break out?' Examiners ask such questions about the outline history of America, and the people should answer in English. Only after passing through the examination, they can obtain American citizenship.
 In the same way, to acquire the citizenship of heaven we must gain God's approval. Only those who do the will of the Father can enter the kingdom of heaven, because He has granted them the heavenly citizenship.

 Jn 8:45-47 "... He who belongs to God hears what God says. The reason you do not hear is that you do not belong to God."

 He who belongs to God is to hear what God says. God clearly commands us to keep the Sabbath, but some insist on keeping Sunday. God commands us to celebrate the Passover, nevertheless some insist on celebrating Christmas. This is an expression of their strong will not to hear what God says. God sternly says that such people do not belong to Him: "The reason you do not hear what I say is that you do not belong to Me." What a dreadful word! Through this word, God shows us the way to distinguish between those who can acquire the heavenly citizenship and those who can't.

 Heavenly citizenship is given to the people of Zion, the city of God's appointed feasts

Now, we need to find out where God our King reigns in order to know where we are now, examining the requirements we must meet in order to qualify for heavenly citizenship.

 Isa 33:20-22 Look upon Zion, the city of our festivals; your eyes will see Jerusalem, a peaceful abode, a tent that will not be moved ... There the LORD will be our Mighty One. ... the LORD is our lawgiver, the LORD is our king; it is he who will save us.

 Here, us' mean those celebrating God's feasts in Zion. God is called their King; He is the King of Zion, the city of His appointed feasts. We, the people of Zion, celebrate the feasts. So it is clear that we have a heavenly citizenship.

 Isa 51:15-16 "For I am the LORD your God, who churns up the sea so that its waves roar-the LORD Almighty is his name. I have put my words in your mouth and covered you with the shadow of my hand-I who set the heavens in place, who laid the foundations of the earth, and who say to Zion, You are my people.'"

 The people who dwell in Zion are the ones who have obtained the heavenly citizenship, though they live in this sinful world now. We must feel proud that we have acquired the heavenly citizenship even though we are cast down to a small planet called earth.

According to Your Word

 The people of Zion[WMSCOG] keep the Sabbath as God said, "Remember the Sabbath day by keeping it holy," and every female member wears a veil during worship as God said, "Woman ought to cover their heads while in worship." Thus, every act of faith-doing as God says-is obedience toward God.

 Christians must always live according to the word of God. God told us not to add or take away from the words of the Bible because He put all the means for salvation together in the Bible.

 If we walk the way God has showed us, we will find eternal life, salvation and heaven at the end of the way, where God will gladly meet us. Keeping this deeply in mind, let's think about the blessings that those who obey God's word will receive.

 Thoughts that result in changing the truth and shutting the door to eternal life. Christians are required to do as God says, with a sincere attitude of faith.

 The reason we must do what the Bible teaches is that it is the way God has provided for us. What God wants is not our ability or wisdom. God possesses all power and wisdom. He does not need anything we have; He only looks for those who obey His will sincerely and honestly. Such people are worthy of the kingdom of heaven.

The letter of the Apostle John[World Mission Society Church of God]

 

The letter of the Apostle John

My dear children, I write this to you so that you will not sin. But if anybody does sin, we have one who speaks to the Father in our defense–Jesus Christ, the Righteous One. He is the atoning sacrifice for our sins, and not only for ours but also for the sins of the whole world. We know that we have come to know him if we obey his commands [And hereby we know that we know him, if we keep his commandments: ASV]. The man who says, “I know him,” but does not do what he commands is a liar, and the truth is not in him. But if anyone obeys his word, God’s love is truly made complete in him. This is how we know we are in him: Whoever claims to live in him must walk as Jesus did. (1 John 2:1-6)

P.S.) The Apostle John wrote that we should obey God’s commandments in order not to sin. We cannot know the existence of God and His love until we keep His commandments. On the contrary, those who do not obey God’s commandments are liars, and the truth is not in them. God’s commandments include the Sabbath day and the seven feasts of three times including the Passover (Exodus 31:13; Luke 4:16; Matthew 26:7-29; 1 Corinthians 5:7-8.)

Please value God’s commandments for your sins to be forgiven. Also please do not sin again to enter the kingdom of heaven.

Those who participate in the sun god worship rituals are sun-god worshipers, not God's children[WMSCOG]

Who are they?

We can easily know who someone is through his actions.

For example, if a man is beating a wood block towards a Buddha statute repeating the name of Amitabha, he must be a Buddhist. Even though he does not mention his religion, we can recognize that he is a Buddhist by his actions.

And if some people gather in a specific place on Friday afternoon and bow down to Mecca, who are they? They are Muslims. Although they do not explain what religion they have, we can know they are Muslims by considering their actions.

By the way, there are people who keep Christmas, the birthday of Mithras or sun god, and Sunday, the worship day of sun god. Who are they?

He said to me, "Do you see this, son of man? You will see things that are even more detestable than this." He then brought me into the inner court of the house of the LORD, and there at the entrance to the temple, between the portico and the altar, were about twenty-five men. With their backs toward the temple of the LORD and their faces toward the east, they were bowing down to the sun in the east. (Ezekiel 8:15-16)

People worship sun god within the house of God where they have to give praise to and worship God. Such things are detestable to God. Those who participate in the sun god worship rituals are sun-god worshipers, not God's children. Their behaviors prove it.
The Bible proves that it is the Passover, Sabbath..etc.
If we are God`s children, we should keep the God`s commandments.

Jesus said that he is the gateway for our souls[WMSCOG]

‘Server not found’

You might have been embarrassed at the above message while browsing the Internet. There are various reasons which cause an error: “the specified server could not to be found.” Among them, a network issue is the biggest factor contributing to this error. The Internet can be understood as a network of networks which consist of lots of gateway nodes and host nodes. A gateway is a network node that allows you to gain entrance into a network and vice versa. Simply put, a gateway can be called an entrance to the Internet. If there is something wrong with the gateway, the above message appears.

The “Server not found” error can also occur with regards to our souls. It takes place when we cannot find the spiritual gateway correctly. Jesus said that he is the gateway for our souls.

Therefore Jesus said again, "I tell you the truth, I am the gate for the sheep… I [Jesus] am the gate… I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full. (John 10:7-10)

Jesus said to them, "I tell you the truth, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you have no life in you…” (John 6:53)

While they were eating, Jesus took bread, gave thanks and broke it, and gave it to his disciples, saying, "Take and eat; this is my body." Then he took the cup, gave thanks and offered it to them, saying, "Drink from it, all of you. This is my blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many for the forgiveness of sins. (Matthew 26:26-28)

Our spiritual gateway is the Second Coming Jesus who gives us life through the Passover. If you have not found the gateway of the Passover and do not know the Second Coming Christ, you will never access the kingdom of heaven. Whatever you try to access, you will encounter a message saying: “Server not found” (Matthew 7:21-23.)

The Bible, interpreted by the Root of David, will save your souls.[Christ Ahnsahnghong]

A tool for killing people vs. a tool for saving people

A tool can be used for both good and evil. For example, a knife used by a surgeon can contribute to saving people’s lives. But a knife, grasped by a murderer’s hand, will be used for killing people. The same knife can be a tool for saving people or for killing people depending on who will use it.

God granted us a tool -- the Bible. But it can save or kill our souls depending on who will interpret it.

… But no one in heaven or on earth or under the earth could open the scroll [the Bible] or even look inside it. I wept and wept because no one was found who was worthy to open the scroll or look inside. Then one of the elders said to me, “Do not weep! See, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, has triumphed. He is able to open the scroll and its seven seals.” (Revelation 5:3-5)

… His letters contain some things that are hard to understand, which ignorant and unstable people distort, as they do the other Scriptures, to their own destruction. (2 Peter 3:16)

The results will be opposite depending on who will interpret and explain the Bible. Interpretation of the Bible by the Root of David will save our souls while interpretation by ones who are not the Root of David will lead our souls to destruction. Such false prophets teach the saints with man-made rules.

Or if you give the scroll to someone who cannot read, and say, “Read this, please,” he will answer, “I don’t know how to read.” The Lord says: “These people come near to me with their mouth and honor me with their lips, but their hearts are far from me. Their worship of me is made up only of rules taught by men. Therefore once more I will astound these people with wonder upon wonder; the wisdom of the wise will perish, the intelligence of the intelligent will vanish.” (Isaiah 29:12-14)

Those who teach people with man-made rules are not different from a murderer with a knife because they lead people’s souls to death. Rules taught by men include Sunday Service, Christmas, crosses and Thanksgiving Day. These commandments are not found in the Bible at all. That is, such teachings are not recorded in the Bible. Since they do keep non-biblical days and festivals, they cannot help but twist the Bible with various excuses. So the Bible, grasped by false prophets who teach man-made rules, becomes a tool for killing our souls.

The Bible, interpreted by the Root of David, is the tool for saving our souls. The Root David teaches people with God’s commandments not man-made rules. God’s commandments include the Sabbath, the Passover and regulation on covering women’s heads (Luke 4:16; Matthew 26:17-28; 1 Corinthians 11:1-16.)

Just as a knife, grasped by a surgeon, will save patients, so the Bible, interpreted by the Root of David, will save your souls.

Sunday was kept because collections (offerings) were made on the first day of every week?[WMSCOG]

Some claim that the Sabbath day of the Old Testament has been changed to Sunday in the time of the New Testament because collections (offerings) were made on the first day of every week or every Sunday by quoting 1 Corinthians 16:2.
Now about the collection for God's people: Do what I told the Galatian churches to do. On the first day of every week (Every Sunday: GNT), each one of you should set aside a sum of money in keeping with his income, saving it up, so that when I come no collections will have to be made. (1 Corinthians 16:1-2)
I feel pity for their efforts to find evidence of the Sunday service which is not found on the Bible. First, the above verse is not a record of worshiping on Sundays and giving offerings. The Apostle Paul said, “When I come no collections will have to be made (KJV: There be no gatherings when I come).” If it had been a regular collection, it should have been made whether the Apostle Paul came or not, shouldn’t it? If fact, the collection mentioned above was a special offering for helping out the Jerusalem Church.
There is no need for me to write to you about this service to the saints… So I thought it necessary to urge the brothers to visit you in advance and finish the arrangements for the generous gift [KJV: bounty] you had promised. Then it will be ready as a generous gift, not as one grudgingly given… This service that you perform is not only supplying the needs of God's people but is also overflowing in many expressions of thanks to God. (2 Corinthians 9:1-12)
It’s wrong to insist that it’s evidence that the Sunday service was kept by citing the verse which is not about a regular offering but a special offering.  In addition, it’s also not a record of worshiping on the first day of every week. On the contrary, it proves that they worked on the first day of every week. It’s written, “On the first day of every week, each one of you should set aside a sum of money in keeping with his income (GNT: Every Sunday each of you must put aside some money, in proportion to what you have earned).” It means that they must put aside some money, in proportion to what they have earned on Sunday. To earn money on the first day of the week, they must have worked on Sundays, mustn’t they? In other words, the verse of matter means that they must put aside some money earned on the first day of every week in advance not to be in hurry to collect the special offering when the Apostle Paul comes.
However, those who try to find evidence of the Sunday service in any way claim that ‘collections (offerings)’ were made on the ‘first day of every week’ by extracting only the two phrases ‘collections’ and ‘the first day of every week.’ How strange their way of interpretation is! I suppose that they cannot see the Sabbath recorded about 135 times in the Bible (80 times in the Old Testament and 55 times in the New Testament) because they read the Bible in such a strange way.

WMSCOG keeps the Passover of the New Covenant.[Christ Ahnsahnghong]

 

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.

 

Is your God in the Bible? [World Mission Society Church of God]

He is the one I know very well and love the most like my life. I went to the place of our appointment and greeted him very nicely. However, his response was cold. He even said, “I don’t know you.” How would you feel if you find yourself in such a situation? You will surely feel embarrassed and might be terribly disappointed by his response.
What if the one who didn’t recognize you is “God”?  You surely will not want to imagine that. Unfortunately however, it’s not just an imagination. It must happen to someone in reality.
“Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only he who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. Many will say to me on that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and in your name drive out demons and perform many miracles?’ Then I will tell them plainly, ‘I never knew you. Away from me, you evildoers [you workers of lawlessness: ESV]!’ (Matthew 7:21-23)
It’s the word of Jesus in front of the door of the kingdom of heaven. To whom will He say, “I never knew you. Away from me”? To those who did not know God? No. Jesus will say to those who had special faith and loved Jesus, so as to say “Lord, Lord” and to act as the prophets who prophesied in the name of Jesus and performed many miracles.
Why will Jesus ignore and expel people with such faith from the kingdom of heaven?
We know that we have come to know him if we obey his commands. The man who says, “I know him,” but does not do what he commands is a liar, and the truth is not in him. But if anyone obeys his word, God’s love is truly made complete in him. This is how we know we are in him: Whoever claims to live in him must walk as Jesus did. (1 John 2:3-6)
Faith starts from knowing God. Believing in God without knowing Him is no more than blind faith. Those who do not obey His commands neither have faith nor know God. The God who is in the Bible acknowledges that we are His children if we observe God’s commandments such as the Sabbath and the Passover.  However, many people follow man-made commandments such as Sunday, Christmas and cross-idolatry. Which God do they believe in? The God believed by such people is another God not found in the Bible.
We are walking the path of faith with an expectation of a joyful meeting with Elohim God. If you wish to be welcomed by God someday, you must seek “ Elohim God in the Bible.”

The letter of the Apostle John - World Mission Society Church of God

 

World Mission Society Church of God obey God's commandments absolutely, Christ Ahnsahnghong and Heavenly Mother who are saviors in this age give us God's law for our salvation. No matter how other people say, God's commandments should be kept.

 

The letter of the Apostle John

My dear children, I write this to you so that you will not sin. But if anybody does sin, we have one who speaks to the Father in our defense–Jesus Christ, the Righteous One.

About the verse “If anyone tells you, ‘There he is’ or ‘Here he is’”, do not believe it” _ WMSCOG

 Zion where the true Christ dwells is the place where we celebrate the feasts of God; 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. Therefore Only in Zion, we can meet our Saviors; the Spirit and the Bride who give us the water life.
 There is World Mission Society Church of God!!

 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. For false Christs and false prophets will appear and perform great signs and miracles to deceive even the elect--if that were possible. See, I have told you ahead of time. "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 Spirit and the bride who give us the water life only in Zion.

A tool for killing people vs. a tool for saving people _ World Mission Society Church of God

A tool can be used for both good and evil. For example, a knife used by a surgeon can contribute to saving people’s lives. But a knife, grasped by a murderer’s hand, will be used for killing people. The same knife can be a tool for saving people or for killing people depending on who will use it.

Just as a knife, grasped by a surgeon, will save patients, so the Bible, interpreted by the Root of David, will save your souls.

Who are they?

We can easily know who someone is through his actions.

For example, if a man is beating a wood block towards a Buddha statute repeating the name of Amitabha, he must be a Buddhist. Even though he does not mention his religion, we can recognize that he is a Buddhist by his actions.

And if some people gather in a specific place on Friday afternoon and bow down to Mecca, who are they? They are Muslims. Although they do not explain what religion they have, we can know they are Muslims by considering their actions.

By the way, there are people who keep Christmas, the birthday of Mithras or sun god, and Sunday, the worship day of sun god. Who are they?

He said to me, "Do you see this, son of man? You will see things that are even more detestable than this." He then brought me into the inner court of the house of the LORD, and there at the entrance to the temple, between the portico and the altar, were about twenty-five men. With their backs toward the temple of the LORD and their faces toward the east, they were bowing down to the sun in the east. (Ezekiel 8:15-16)

People worship sun god within the house of God where they have to give praise to and worship God. Such things are detestable to God. Those who participate in the sun god worship rituals are sun-god worshipers, not God's children. Their behaviors prove it.

Those who believe in true God, God the Father and God the Mother, and worship Him keep the Sabbath and the Passover. They go to true church of God, World Mission Society Church of God[WMSCOG].

Why did He have to come as a Son? _ World Mission Society Church of God

“But do not have God speak to us or we will die.”

The people of Israel cried out to Moses. They felt they could die because the words of God sounded like the great thunder and lightning and the trumpet to them. They’re scared. When they heard the words of God from Moses who alone was able to hear the voice of God, they could follow the will of God (in the Desert of Sinai at the time of Exodus.)

“It thundered or an angel spoke to him.”

Many people heard the words of God but they said it had thundered. But, the Apostle Paul heard the voice of God correctly and wrote: “I have glorified it, and will glorify it again.” Through John, people could listen to the words of God correctly (at Ephesus in around 90 A.D.)

Both in the time of Exodus and in around 90 A.D., people were not able to hear the voice of Almighty God. As creatures, they could not bear the words of God, which sounded like the thunder and lightning. For this reason, God came to the earth as a man in the appearance of a creature, hiding His power and glory.

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

And He let God’s children know the way to salvation one by one and set examples for us. Putting Him in the shoes of the Son like us, He taught how we can follow the words of God to get salvation.

I have set you an example that you should do as I have done for you. (John 13:15)

Jesus set the example of ‘being baptized’ as a sign of salvation (Matthew 3:13-16.) And He also set the example of ‘keeping the Sabbath’ for us to get the blessing of rest (Luke 4:16,) and the example of ‘observing the Passover’ which promises the blessing of the forgiveness of sins (Matthew 26:19.) In addition, He asked His children as follows just before He ascended to heaven:

Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. (Matthew 28:19-20)

It's the mind of God. God worried that His children might not be able to follow the way of salvation. So He carefully set examples one by one. Can you hear the words of God? “Please, follow the way I walked. Let’s go to our hometown -- the kingdom of heaven.”

The Things God Hates

Those who do not keep God's feasts such as the Sabbath and the Passover quote the following verse to justify their faith:

Your New Moon festivals and your appointed feasts my soul hates. They have become a burden to me; I am weary of bearing them. (Isaiah 1:14)

Does this verse really mean that God hates such feasts as the Sabbath and the Passover? Why does He hate the feasts He appointed? There is something that is not consistent. We should see the context of before and after when reading the Bible. It's hard to understand the exact meaning with a single verse only. Let's see the context of before and after Isaiah 1:14.

Hear, O heavens! Listen, O earth! For the LORD has spoken: "I reared children and brought them up, but they have rebelled against me... Ah, sinful nation, a people loaded with guilt, a brood of evildoers, children given to corruption! They have forsaken the LORD; they have spurned the Holy One of Israel and turned their backs on him...  Hear the word of the LORD, you rulers of Sodom; listen to the law of our God, you people of Gomorrah!... Stop bringing meaningless offerings! Your incense is detestable to me. New Moons, Sabbaths and convocations-- I cannot bear your evil assemblies. Your New Moon festivals and your appointed feasts my soul hates. They have become a burden to me; I am weary of bearing them. (Isaiah 1:2-14)

To whom does He say this? God said this to people who have rebelled against God and have done wickedness in the eyes of God. Will those who have committed sin against God and who are corrupters keep God's feasts truthfully? It's obvious that they will not. On the contrary, the prophet Isaiah wrote clearly that the Sabbath should be kept.

Blessed is the man who does this, the man who holds it fast, who keeps the Sabbath without desecrating it, and keeps his hand from doing any evil. (Isaiah 56:2)

The fourth commandment of the Ten Commandments is about the Sabbath day. It's written in many places of the Bible that the seven feasts should be observed as well as the Sabbath.

These are the LORD's appointed feasts, the sacred assemblies you are to proclaim at their appointed times: The LORD's Passover begins at twilight on the fourteenth day of the first month. On the fifteenth day of that month the LORD's Feast of Unleavened Bread begins... "Say to the Israelites: 'On the fifteenth day of the seventh month the LORD's Feast of Tabernacles begins, and it lasts for seven days....'" (Leviticus 23:4-5; 34)

He [Jesus Christ] 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)

And he said to them, "I [Jesus] have eagerly desired to eat this Passover with you before I suffer. (Luke 22:15)

When the day of Pentecost came, they were all together in one place (Acts 2:1)

But when the Jewish Feast of Tabernacles was near... Not until halfway through the Feast did Jesus go up to the temple courts and begin to teach... On the last and greatest day of the Feast, Jesus stood and said in a loud voice, "If anyone is thirsty, let him come to me and drink... (John 7:2; 14; 37-39)

Those who obey the Words of God according to the Bible must keep God's feasts such as the Sabbath day, the Passover, the Day of Pentecost and the Feast of Tabernacles. The feasts which are hated by God and are not found in the Bible are man-made feasts God did not command. These include such feasts as the Sunday service, Christmas, Thanksgiving Day and Easter which have been arbitrarily appointed by men.

Evidence of God's Children

 

God commanded to keep the seventh day as the holy feast of God.

“Speak to the Israelites and say to them: ‘These are my appointed feasts, the appointed feasts of the LORD, which you are to proclaim as sacred assemblies. ” ‘There are six days when you may work, but the seventh day is a Sabbath of rest, a day of sacred assembly. You are not to do any work; wherever you live, it is a Sabbath to the LORD… (Leviticus 23:2-3)

The Sabbath day is a sign between God and the children of God.

“Say to the Israelites, ‘You must observe my Sabbaths. This will be a sign between me and you [God and God's people] for the generations to come, so you may know that I am the LORD, who makes you holy. ” ‘Observe the Sabbath, because it is holy to you. Anyone who desecrates it must be put to death; whoever does any work on that day must be cut off from his people… (Exodus 31:13-14)

I [God] gave them my decrees and made known to them my laws, for the man who obeys them will live by them. Also I gave them my Sabbaths as a sign between us, so they would know that I the LORD made them holy. (Ezekiel 20:11-12)

Those who do not keep the Sabbath day profane God, which is the evidence of false prophets.

Her priests do violence to my law and profane my holy things; they do not distinguish between the holy and the common; they teach that there is no difference between the unclean and the clean; and they shut their eyes to the keeping of my Sabbaths [they ignore the Sabbath: GNT], so that I am profaned among them. (Ezekiel 22:26)

To those who distort the Sabbath day observed by Jesus - World Mission Society Church of God, WMSCOG, Christ Ahnsahnghong

World Mission Society Church of God (WMSCOG) keeps the Sabbath according to the teaching of Christ Ahnsahnghong and Heavenly 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.
