Although they knew the Bible-WMSCOG, God the Mother

https://pasteve.com/?c=BibleColumn&sort=d_regis&orderby=desc&uid=1415

Is it sufficient just to know the Bible? 2,000 years ago, the Jews took pride in knowing the Bible more than any other people. To considerable degree, it was true that they knew the Bible. Then, did they recognize Christ? As a matter of course, they also had to recognize Jesus because the Bible testifies about Christ. Of course, they understood who Jesus was. So they crucified Jesus who said he came as the "Son of God" on the cross.

Jesus said he came as the "Son" of God, as if he had been a different being from God the Father Jehovah.

"Abba", Father," he said, "everything is possible for you. Take this cup from me. Yet not what I will, but what you will." (Mark 14:36)

"This, then, is how you should pray: " 'Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name, (Matthew 6:9)

Jesus called out with a loud voice, "Father, into your hands I commit my spirit." When he had said this, he breathed his last. (Luke 23:46)

Jesus described God Jehovah as the Almighty One and Himself as a child who obeys the commands of the Father. That is, he regarded himself as the same position like us. Here, don't you have a question? Why did the Jews resent Jesus when he said he came as the Son of God, which might have not been any problem? Further, why did they crucify Him on the cross?

“… I [Jesus] and the Father are one." Again the Jews picked up stones to stone him, but Jesus said to them, "I have shown you many great miracles from the Father. For which of these do you stone me?" "We are not stoning you for any of these," replied the Jews, "but for blasphemy, because you, a mere man, claim to be God." (John 10:30-33)

Jesus said to them, "My Father is always at his work to this very day, and I, too, am working." For this reason the Jews tried all the harder to kill him; not only was he breaking the Sabbath, but he was even calling God his own Father, making himself equal with God. (John 5:17-18)

When Jesus said, "I and the Father are one," the Jews responded by saying "You, a mere man, claim to be God." Also, when Jesus said to them, "My Father is always at his work to this very day, and I, too, am working," they blamed him for making himself equal with God. Why did they understand "calling God his own Father" as "making himself equal with God"?

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. (Isaiah 9:6)

The Jews knew the prophecy of the prophet Isaiah. In around 700 B.C., the prophet Isaiah foretold that ‘Almighty God would come as a Son.’ Therefore, the Jews got into rage when he said, "I and Father are one." They knew the Bible better than the disciples.

Philip said, "Lord, show us the Father and that will be enough for us." Jesus answered: "Don't you know me, Philip, even after I have been among you such a long time? Anyone who has seen me has seen the Father. How can you say, 'Show us the Father'? Don't you believe that I am in the Father, and that the Father is in me? The words I say to you are not just my own. Rather, it is the Father, living in me, who is doing his work. (John 14:8-10)

Philip was not able to understand the words of Jesus properly although he had been with Jesus. He could not understand why Jesus called himself the "Son of God" until he learned many teachings after Jesus ascended to heaven.

The Jews, who understood the word of Jesus by themselves, rejected Jesus and were destroyed after all. Philip, who realized after being taught from Jesus, was blessed. What's the difference between them? Just knowing the Bible is not sufficient. It's no more than mere acquisition of knowledge. To know the Bible means "to realize the words and put them in practice."

The World Mission Society Church of God (WMSCOG) preaches Christ of the age of the Holy Spirit to great multitude of Christians: God the Holy Spirit in the male image and God the Mother, the bride in the female image witnessed by the Bible from the 1st Chapter of Genesis to the 22nd Chapter of Revelation. At this, most people says that they came to know God the Mother testified by the Bible for the first time, giving a slight nod. 

While seeing many people leaving, saying that they came to know Christ who has come as the Spirit and the bride in the Bible, I thought of the Jews. They also knew but did not believe.

Is your God in the Bible?- WMSCOG .God the Mother

Is your God in the Bible? 
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 God. If you wish to be welcomed by God someday, you must seek “God in the Bible.”

Do the things Abraham did -WMSCOG ,God the Mother

In these last days we need to believe God the Father & God the Mother 

"Abraham did not do such things."

This is what Jesus said to the Jews who alleged that they were the children of Abraham. Why did Jesus deny the blood of the Jews who were the actual offspring of Abraham? What's the difference between Abraham and them?

“… I [Jesus] am telling you what I have seen in the Father's presence, and you do what you have heard from your father." "Abraham is our father," they answered. "If you were Abraham's children," said Jesus, "then you would do the things Abraham did. As it is, you are determined to kill me, a man who has told you the truth that I heard from God. Abraham did not do such things. (John 8:38-40)

In the past, Abraham had met God who had appeared just as the Jews met God in the flesh. At that time, how did Abraham receive God?

The LORD appeared to Abraham near the great trees of Mamre while he was sitting at the entrance to his tent in the heat of the day. Abraham looked up and saw three men [God and two angels] standing nearby. When he saw them, he hurried from the entrance of his tent to meet them and bowed low to the ground. He said, "If I have found favor in your eyes, my lord, do not pass your servant by. Let a little water be brought, and then you may all wash your feet and rest under this tree. Let me get you something to eat, so you can be refreshed and then go on your way--now that you have come to your servant." "Very well," they answered, "do as you say." (Genesis 18:1-5)

Abraham treated God who appeared as a man with best butter and milk, and a calf dish. So, God allowed Abraham to have a son "Isaac" and blessed him, giving such titles as "the father of faith" and "the father of many nations." Receiving God in the flesh; it's what Abraham did.

The Bible prophesies that God is to appear in the flesh "a second time" to bring salvation to those who are waiting in the last days. Moreover, in these days, not only God the Father but also God the Mother, His bride, is to come together.

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)

Jesus said, "If you were Abraham's children, then you would do the things Abraham did." In this age, those who accept the Holy Spirit God the Father and the bride God the Mother who have come in the flesh to give us the water of life are Abraham's children.

The goal of our faith is the salvation of our souls-wmscog christ ahnsahnghong & God the Mother

To go to kingdom of heaven we need to believe the Bible, by believing we can enter the kingdom of heaven.

Most important message of the Bible , it's about Elohim God. Christ Ahnsahnghong & God the Mother

Why do people work for companies? 

Some say that they feel happy while working in a company. Others say that they are having a happy work life due to good colleagues. There will be also people who find something worth by participating in community services in the course of working in a company. However, are there any people who continue to work for a company if they are not paid? The primary purpose of working for a company is to live on their salary. Even if they love their jobs or they are happy to work with other colleagues, people have no reason to work for companies if they are not paid.

Then, what’s the purpose of our faith in God?

Some say that they live a religious life to find peace of mind. Others say that they live a life of faith because they enjoy meeting people. Or there are people who are happy to participate in community services while attending the church. However, can these can be the ultimate purpose of our faith life?

Though you have not seen him, you love him; and even though you do not see him now, you believe in him and are filled with an inexpressible and glorious joy, for you are receiving the goal of your faith, the salvation of your souls. (1 Peter 1:8-9)

The most important goal of our faith is the salvation of our souls. A life of faith without the salvation of souls is no more than a job without salary. Although they might feel happy or they think they obtain something worth, their efforts will be in vain in the end. The problem is that many churches teach different doctrines and different religious lives depending on their denominations. Which way of faith is the right one which leads us to the salvation of our souls?

"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 [depart from me, you workers of lawlessness – ESV]!' (Matthew 7:21-23)

Those who live a life of lawless faith which does not follow the will of God cannot enter the kingdom of heaven even though they call 'Lord, Lord', act as prophets who preach God, cast out demons or perform many miracles. They can obtain nothing while making many efforts.

Why should we do the will of God to get the salvation of our souls? It’s because the Word of God is the promise of salvation. 

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. 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)

Whether we can receive life or not depends on following this Word containing the promise of eternal life. Then, how can eat and drink the flesh and blood of Jesus?

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)

Jesus promised that the Passover bread is His flesh and the Passover wine is His blood. Therefore, faith without keeping the Passover cannot give us the salvation of souls. Those who do not observe the Passover worship God in vain. Religious life which results in the salvation of souls, the goal of faith, is that of receiving eternal life through the Passover of the new covenant. If you believe in God, please live a life of faith which leads you to the kingdom of heaven by following the will of God.

The Passover, the secret of the kingdom of heaven- wmscog God the Mother

True teaching of the Bible, known by christ Ahnshanghong , God the Mother

Now many people know that the Passover is the feast of God which allows us eternal life. However, some people consider those who keep the Passover as legalists or even heretics. How pathetic! Why do some realize the fact that the Passover should be observed while others do not although they all read the same Bible? Of course, we can find the answer in the Bible.

He replied, "The knowledge of the secrets of the kingdom of heaven has been given to you, but not to them… This is why I speak to them in parables: "Though seeing, they do not see; though hearing, they do not hear or understand. (Matthew 13:11-13)

It means that there are people who are allowed to understand the secrets of the kingdom of heaven while there are also those who are not allowed to. The Passover is a secret of the kingdom of heaven which contains the blessings of the forgiveness of sins and everlasting life. Therefore, not everyone can understand the Passover. What’s the difference between those who understand the Passover and those who don’t? 

Then I saw in the right hand of him who sat on the throne a scroll [the Scriptures] with writing on both sides and sealed with seven seals. And I saw a mighty angel proclaiming in a loud voice, "Who is worthy to break the seals and open the scroll?" But no one in heaven or on earth or under the earth could open the scroll or even look inside it. I wept and wept because no one was found who was worthy to open the scroll or look inside. (Revelation 5:1-4)

The Apostle John wept much on the island of Patmos when he heard the words of God would be sealed with seven seals and no one could open the scroll or even look inside it. It is natural that John could not help but cry. Since then, people could not understand the secrets of the kingdom of heaven although they see and read the Bible. It means that people were not able to know the Passover. Fortunately, however, the Bible would not be sealed for good. 

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." Then I saw a Lamb, looking as if it had been slain, standing in the center of the throne, encircled by the four living creatures and the elders. (Revelation 5:5-6)

It’s written that the scroll would be opened by a Lamb, looking as if it had been slain, or Jesus who is the Root of David. Therefore, those who receive the Second Coming Jesus can know the secret of the kingdom of heaven or the Passover. In other words, those who keep the Passover have received the Second Coming Jesus.

Do you know who keeps the Passover today? Only the World Mission Society Church of God (WMSCOG) keeps the Passover in the world as did Jesus and the apostles 2,000 years ago. This means that the Second Coming Jesus has already come to this church. Who is the Second Coming Jesus? We cannot realize the true meaning of the Passover until we receive him. The Passover is the feast which Jesus desired to keep and the secret of the kingdom of heaven for which the Apostle John cried bitterly with the concern that it would not be observed.

Let's keep the Passover!!! 

Why did He have to come as a Son? -WMSCOG Christ ahnsahnghong n God the mother

http://wmscog.org/index.php/the-church-of-god-sectarianized-after-christ-ahnsahnghong-ascended/

“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.”

It was on one sizzling hot summer day, as if the heat would melt down the road.

My seven-year-old son kept on pestering me to go to the cool fountains in the park.

Thinking that I had to wait in the heat with a towel, for him to have fun in the water, I couldn’t even consider about going
.But of course, my child would never give up.

“Okay… okay… Fine. Let’s go.”



Having a smile ear to ear, my son was full of joy and kept on humming.



When we arrived at the park, seeing him enjoying the cool water, I also felt refreshed and I thought I made the right choice.



“Ouch!”



Checking one of my text messages, I heard a shrieking sound. My son was sitting on the bare ground and crying. When I went close to him, I noticed his toe was bleeding. While I was looking away from him, playing with his shoes off, his toe got stuck in one of the fountains. And trying to get his toe out, his toenail fell off.



I carried him on my back and ran to the ER.

For that small moment, my toes felt so painful as if my own toes were cut off. I was also so anxious. He took an X-ray examination on his toe to make sure he didn’t break any bones.



Fortunately, there weren’t any bones broken. The doctor took off the piece of flesh narrowly hanging on to his toe, and put on some ointment after disinfecting the wound. Though it hurt, my son couldn’t possible cry because he was nervously glancing on me, because he knew he refused to listen to his mother who told him not to take his shoes off.



‘That little toe dressed in a bandage…



How painful would it be?



Oh, I told him to listen to his mother.



No, I had to watch him every single moment….’



I regretted and felt guilty at the same time.



‘This is mother’s heart. Even if there’s a small scar on her child’s body, it is heart-rending.



Seeing just a little toe falling off from his feet really hurts me. I realized how anxious Heavenly Mother must have been seeing her loving children waiting to be sent to this land of death.



It was a natural thing for us to go through for our sins, but our Heavenly Mother sheds tears even today, considering Herself as a sinner.’



Coming back to our house, seeing my child sleeping on my back after being all exhausted from being frightened, I shed tears thinking about our Heavenly Mother.



Though I let Her worry even in Heaven, I still don’t seem to fully repent and always leave a scar on Her heart.



Seeing my foolish self, I couldn’t possibly forget how sorry I was.



I promised myself to change.



Without forgetting Her words that “We must be born again with a flawless faith,” I want to obey all Her words, to become a daughter who can give smiles to Her instead of scars.

발톱 하나



아스팔트를 녹여버릴 듯한 더위가 기승을 부릴 때였다.

일곱 살배기 아들 녀석이 시원한 분수 공원에 놀러 가자고 졸라댔다.

아들이 물놀이를 즐기는 동안 무더위 속에 수건을 들고 기다릴 것을 생각하니 나갈 엄두가 나지 않았다.



하지만 아이는 쉽게 포기할 기세가 아니었다.



“에구… 알았다, 알았어. 그럼 가보자.”



아들은 신이 났는지 입이 귀에 걸려서는 연신 콧노래를 불렀다.



공원에 도착해 분수에서 올라오는 시원한 물줄기를 맞으며 즐거워하는 모습을 보니, 나오기를 잘했다는 생각도 들고 덩달아 시원해지는 느낌이었다.



“아얏!”





잠시 핸드폰 문자메시지를 확인하는데 난데없이 비명 소리가 들렸다. 아이가 바닥에 주저앉아 울고 있었다. 얼른 달려가서 보니 아이의 발가락에서 피가 흐르고 있었다. 내가 잠시 한눈파는 사이 신발을 벗고 놀다가 분수 물줄기가 나오는 곳에 발이 빨려 들어갔는데 억지로 빼려고 하다 그만 발톱이 빠진 것이었다.



아이를 업고 응급실로 달려갔다.

그 짧은 시간 동안 마치 내 발가락이 잘리기라도 한 듯 발끝이 시리고 아파왔다. 마음은 또 얼마나 조급하던지. 응급실에서는 혹여 뼈가 다치지는 않았는지 엑스레이를 찍었다.



다행히 뼈에는 이상이 없어서 살점에 아슬아슬하게 붙어 있던 발톱을 떼어내고 소독한 뒤 약을 발랐다. 아이는 신발을 절대 벗지 말라는 엄마의 말을 어겨서인지, 치료하는 내내 내 눈치를 보느라 아파도 울지 못하고 신음 소리만 겨우 내고 있었다.



작은 발가락에 감은 붕대를 보며 얼마나 아플까,



그러게 엄마 말 좀 듣지,



아니야, 내가 계속 지켜봤어야 했어….



안타까움과 죄책감이 동시에 밀려왔다.



‘엄마란 이런 거구나. 자식 몸에 작은 흠집만 나도 마음이 미어지게 아픈 거구나.’



겨우 발톱 하나 빠진 것만 봐도 어미 마음이 이렇게 아픈데



하늘 어머니께서는 사망의 땅으로 가야만 하는 아들딸을 보시며 얼마나 애타하셨을까.



우리가 걷는 고단한 인생 길이야 응당 치러야 할 죗값이건만



어머니는 그 모두가 당신의 죄인 양 오늘도 가슴 아파하시고 눈물 지으신다.



집으로 돌아오는 길,



어지간히 놀랐는지 어느새 조용히 잠든 아이를 등에 업고 오며 어머니 생각에 눈물이 흘렀다.



하늘에서도 어머니 속을 까맣게 태웠으면서 아직도 온전히 회개하지 못하고 어머니 마음에 상처만 남기는 미련한 내 모습을 되돌아보며 죄송한 마음을 지울 길이 없었다.



이제는 달라지리라 다짐한다.



“흠도 점도 없는 믿음으로 거듭나야 한다”는 어머니의 당부를 잊지 않고,



한 말씀 한 말씀에 순종해 어머니께 상처가 아닌 미소를 드리는 딸이 되련다.

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

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

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

http://truthofwmscogandchristahnsahnghong.wordpress.com/2013/09/27/video-does-the-world-mission-society-church-of-god-follow-the-bible-testimony-of-a-wmscog-member/

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

If there is only one God, God the Father, it should read ‘my image’ not ‘our image.’ In addition, only ‘male’ should have been created in the image of God the Father. But, is there only male created in the image of God? Isn’t there also ‘female’? The fact that male and female were created in the image of God is the evidence that God’s image includes God the Father and God the Mother. It’s very important to know the existence of God the Father and God the Mother because it’s prophesied that God the Father and God the Mother are to appear to give us the water of life in the last days.

The Spirit [God the Father] and the bride [God the Mother] say, "Come!" And let him who hears say, "Come!" Whoever is thirsty, let him come; and whoever wishes, let him take the free gift of the water of life. (Revelation 22:17)

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

The reason it’s written that God ‘alone’ created the heavens and the earth while two God did- world mission society church of God

http://youtu.be/PYwgXEuvBgs

The reason it’s written that God ‘alone’ created the heavens and the earth while two God did

The Bible says that God the Father and God the Mother created the heavens and the earth.

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

In Genesis Chapter 1 which described the process of the Creation, God is referred to as ‘Elohim,’ the plural form. In addition, the plural pronoun ‘Us’ was used. If there were only one God, God should been referred to as the singular noun ‘El’ or ‘Eloah,’ and the singular pronoun ‘Me’ should been used. God the Creator is not only one. From the passage “Male and female were created in the image of God,” we can understand that there are two Gods: God the Father and God the Mother.

However, in other verse, it’s written that God ‘alone’ created the heavens and the earth.

I am the LORD, who has made all things, who alone stretched out the heavens, who spread out the earth by myself (Isaiah 44:24)

Why is it written that God ‘alone’ created the heavens and the earth in the book of Isaiah while it’s written that two Gods did in the book of Genesis? Is one of the two verses wrong? Or, is the Bible contradictory? No. God let us know the reason through Adam and Eve, the first man and woman, who were created in the image of God.

For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and they will become one flesh. (Genesis 2:24)

It’s obvious that Adam and Eve are two individuals, who existed as a man and a woman respectively. However, it’s written that Adam and Eve will be united and become one flesh. Therefore, in the Bible, it’s referred to as one man or Adam as the representative when mentioning Adam and Eve together.

Nevertheless, death reigned from the time of Adam to the time of Moses, even over those who did not sin by breaking a command, as did Adam, who was a pattern of the one to come. But the gift is not like the trespass. For if the many died by the trespass of the one man [Adam]… (Romans 5:14-15)

It was not just Adam alone who committed the sin of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. Both Adam and Eve ate from the tree of the knowledge; moreover Eve did first. However, the Bible wrote the sin of the tree of the knowledge as that of one man. It’s because Adam and Eve are considered one, being united, and Adam is referred to as the representative. This shows the reason it’s written that God ‘alone’ created the heavens and the earth, by uniting God the Father and God the Mother.

Adam and Eve are the first man and woman, who were created in the image of God the Father and God the Mother. God expressed the sin of Adam and Eve as that of ‘one man’ and referred to Adam as the representative of the two. In the same way, while God the Father and God the Mother performed the Creation together, it’s expressed that God ‘alone’ did and God the Father is presented as the representative of the Creation Work.

Some people deny the holy divine nature of two Gods seen through what has been made, without knowing the profound meaning of the Bible. However, the Bible clearly testifies to God the Father and God the Mother from the first Chapter of Genesis to the last Chapter of Revelation.

ROTTERDAM - Drie zondagen, 24 februari, 3 en 10 maart j.l. hebben in de Hoogstraat, ondanks het koude winterse weer, 662 mensen meegedaan met de Gift actie van de WMS Church of God: “Deel de liefde van Moeder met zieke kinderen.”
Deze Gift actie is met de gedachte van een moeder die voor haar kind zorgt en hoop geeft aan ouders van zieke kinderen die in moeilijke tijden verkeren. Deze liefde is absoluut nodig voor moeder en kind in deze tijd die steeds harteloos en financieel moeilijk wordt door conflicten en crisis.

De voorvechter die deze liefde deelt is een religieuze groep, de World Mission Society Church of God (Hoofdpastoor Kim Joo-cheol). De kerk voert op grote schaal vrijwillige activiteiten uit op verschillende gebieden zoals bloeddonatie, uitdelen van voedsel, helpen van behoeftige buren zoals eenzame ouderen, het brengen van hoopgevende bezoeken aan bewoners alsook milieu schoonmaak activiteiten, over de hele wereld ongeacht grenzen, ras en religies.

Door alle kerkleden werden deelnemers verwelkomd met een lach en een dans.
Tijdens de actie was ook Tanja de Koning van Vrienden van het Sophia aanwezig en zei:
“Ondanks het koude winterweer heb ik hier een heerlijk en warm gevoel bij jullie, alsof je in een warm bad komt. Het is een mooie actie en goed initiatief van de Church of God, waar iedere Rotterdammer, elke Nederlander blij mee moet zijn. Je gaat je zieker voelen als je in leeg bed ligt, dus die warme knuffel is wel heel erg fijn.”

Alle 662 deelnemers hebben met een blije gedachte aan de actie voor de zieke kinderen, en niet te vergeten hun ouders, deelgenomen.

Deelnemer Rob Markus zei: “De kinderen vechten voor hun leven en zitten samen met hun ouders in een moeilijke periode. Ik vind het alleen maar goed dat er mensen, zoals van de WMS Church of God, zich inzetten in hun vrije tijd op vrijwillige basis en in dit koude weer, om die kinderen een hart onder de riem te steken, dit is hartverwarmend.”

Deelnemers waren allemaal geïnteresseerd in de Gift actie en waren bovendien geraakt door deze goede actie en gaven reacties als: “Het is verschrikkelijk om op jonge leeftijd kanker te hebben, dus om te helpen is geweldig. Ik ben zo blij dat jullie dit doen, je komt hier voorbij en het gevoel van liefde trekt je aan. Het is een ontzettende goede actie van de Church of God, jullie weten wat naasten liefde is.”
 
Van de mogelijkheid om de wenskaart te personaliseren met een mooie, liefdevolle boodschap of tekening voor een ziek kind of voor zijn/haar ouder(s) werd door 288 deelnemers gebruikt gemaakt. De opbrengst van de verkochte wenskaarten wordt gebruikt om nog meer knuffelbeertjes en de Cliniclowns knuffel 'Toet' te kopen. Bovendien zal voor de ouders van deze zieke kinderen die verblijven in het Ronald McDonald huis een lunch of maaltijd worden klaargemaakt.

De World Mission Society Church of God Rotterdam is kandidaat voor de Oranje Fonds Kroonappels. Word jij ook blij van onze sociale initiatieven van liefde, stem dan op ons op 15,16,17 maart via de website .....

Gift actie voor zieke kinderen door WMS Church of God Rotterdam wmscog

ROTTERDAM - Op zondag 24 februari, hebben in de Hoogstraat, ondanks het slechte weer, 256 mensen meegedaan met de actie: “Deel de liefde van Moeder met zieke kinderen.”

Deze gift actie is met de gedachte van een moeder die voor haar kind zorgt en hoop geeft aan ouders van zieke kinderen die in moeilijke tijden verkeren. Deze liefde is absoluut nodig voor moeder en kind in deze tijd die steeds harteloos en financieel moeilijk wordt door conflicten en crisis.

De voorvechter die deze liefde deelt is een religieuze groep, de World Mission Society Church of God (Hoofdpastoor Kim Joo-cheol). De kerk voert op grote schaal vrijwillige activiteiten uit op verschillende gebieden zoals bloeddonatie, uitdelen van voedsel, helpen van behoeftige buren zoals eenzame ouderen, het brengen van hoopgevende bezoeken aan bewoners alsook milieu schoonmaak activiteiten, over de hele wereld ongeacht grenzen, ras en religies.

Ze waren allemaal geïnteresseerd in deze Gift actie en waren bovendien geraakt door deze goede actie. Door alle kerkleden werden deelnemers verwelkomd met een lach en een dans. De missionaris van de kerk zei:” Tegenwoordig is de gemeenschap steeds kouder aan het worden. Ik ben blij deze goede actie te doen. Wij volgen het voorbeeld van God, die ons leert om je naasten lief te hebben als jezelf. Onze kerk zal doorgaan met het toepassen van Gods liefde door middel van deze acties en hoopt dat meer mensen de liefde van Moeder zullen delen met hun naaste.”

Op zondag 3 maart en 10 maart a.s. van 12.00 – 18.00 uur staan de kerkleden weer op de Hoogstraat (tegenover Sport 2000) en kunnen mensen meedoen door een nieuwe knuffelbeer (max.20 cm groot) te doneren aan een ziek kind of door een wenskaart te kopen ter waarde van €2 aan onze tent op de Hoogstraat. Na het kopen van de wenskaart is het bovendien mogelijk om de wenskaart te personaliseren met een mooie, liefdevolle boodschap voor een ziek kind. De opbrengst van de verkochte wenskaarten wordt gebruikt om nog meer knuffelbeertjes te kopen.

Met de beertjes willen wij de zieke kinderen in Kinderziekenhuizen, waaronder het Sophia Kinderziekenhuis, een troostend, beschermend en een liefdevol gevoel bezorgen.

The goal of our faith is the salvation of our souls

https://pasteve.com/?m=bbs&bid=bcircles&uid=1357

Why do people work for companies? 

Some say that they feel happy while working in a company. Others say that they are having a happy work life due to good colleagues. There will be also people who find something worth by participating in community services in the course of working in a company. However, are there any people who continue to work for a company if they are not paid? The primary purpose of working for a company is to live on their salary. Even if they love their jobs or they are happy to work with other colleagues, people have no reason to work for companies if they are not paid.

Then, what’s the purpose of our faith in God?

Some say that they live a religious life to find peace of mind. Others say that they live a life of faith because they enjoy meeting people. Or there are people who are happy to participate in community services while attending the church. However, can these can be the ultimate purpose of our faith life?

Though you have not seen him, you love him; and even though you do not see him now, you believe in him and are filled with an inexpressible and glorious joy, for you are receiving the goal of your faith, the salvation of your souls. (1 Peter 1:8-9)

The most important goal of our faith is the salvation of our souls. A life of faith without the salvation of souls is no more than a job without salary. Although they might feel happy or they think they obtain something worth, their efforts will be in vain in the end. The problem is that many churches teach different doctrines and different religious lives depending on their denominations. Which way of faith is the right one which leads us to the salvation of our souls?

"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 [depart from me, you workers of lawlessness – ESV]!' (Matthew 7:21-23)

Those who live a life of lawless faith which does not follow the will of God cannot enter the kingdom of heaven even though they call 'Lord, Lord', act as prophets who preach God, cast out demons or perform many miracles. They can obtain nothing while making many efforts.

Why should we do the will of God to get the salvation of our souls? It’s because the Word of God is the promise of salvation. 

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. 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)

Whether we can receive life or not depends on following this Word containing the promise of eternal life. Then, how can eat and drink the flesh and blood of Jesus?

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)

Jesus promised that the Passover bread is His flesh and the Passover wine is His blood. Therefore, faith without keeping the Passover cannot give us the salvation of souls. Those who do not observe the Passover worship God in vain. Religious life which results in the salvation of souls, the goal of faith, is that of receiving eternal life through the Passover of the new covenant. If you believe in God, please live a life of faith which leads you to the kingdom of heaven by following the will of God.

Although they knew the Bible

https://pasteve.com/?c=BibleColumn&sort=d_regis&orderby=desc&uid=1415

Is it sufficient just to know the Bible? 2,000 years ago, the Jews took pride in knowing the Bible more than any other people. To considerable degree, it was true that they knew the Bible. Then, did they recognize Christ? As a matter of course, they also had to recognize Jesus because the Bible testifies about Christ. Of course, they understood who Jesus was. So they crucified Jesus who said he came as the "Son of God" on the cross.

Jesus said he came as the "Son" of God, as if he had been a different being from God the Father Jehovah.

"Abba", Father," he said, "everything is possible for you. Take this cup from me. Yet not what I will, but what you will." (Mark 14:36)

"This, then, is how you should pray: " 'Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name, (Matthew 6:9)

Jesus called out with a loud voice, "Father, into your hands I commit my spirit." When he had said this, he breathed his last. (Luke 23:46)

Jesus described God Jehovah as the Almighty One and Himself as a child who obeys the commands of the Father. That is, he regarded himself as the same position like us. Here, don't you have a question? Why did the Jews resent Jesus when he said he came as the Son of God, which might have not been any problem? Further, why did they crucify Him on the cross?

“… I [Jesus] and the Father are one." Again the Jews picked up stones to stone him, but Jesus said to them, "I have shown you many great miracles from the Father. For which of these do you stone me?" "We are not stoning you for any of these," replied the Jews, "but for blasphemy, because you, a mere man, claim to be God." (John 10:30-33)

Jesus said to them, "My Father is always at his work to this very day, and I, too, am working." For this reason the Jews tried all the harder to kill him; not only was he breaking the Sabbath, but he was even calling God his own Father, making himself equal with God. (John 5:17-18)

When Jesus said, "I and the Father are one," the Jews responded by saying "You, a mere man, claim to be God." Also, when Jesus said to them, "My Father is always at his work to this very day, and I, too, am working," they blamed him for making himself equal with God. Why did they understand "calling God his own Father" as "making himself equal with God"?

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. (Isaiah 9:6)

The Jews knew the prophecy of the prophet Isaiah. In around 700 B.C., the prophet Isaiah foretold that ‘Almighty God would come as a Son.’ Therefore, the Jews got into rage when he said, "I and Father are one." They knew the Bible better than the disciples.

Philip said, "Lord, show us the Father and that will be enough for us." Jesus answered: "Don't you know me, Philip, even after I have been among you such a long time? Anyone who has seen me has seen the Father. How can you say, 'Show us the Father'? Don't you believe that I am in the Father, and that the Father is in me? The words I say to you are not just my own. Rather, it is the Father, living in me, who is doing his work. (John 14:8-10)

Philip was not able to understand the words of Jesus properly although he had been with Jesus. He could not understand why Jesus called himself the "Son of God" until he learned many teachings after Jesus ascended to heaven.

The Jews, who understood the word of Jesus by themselves, rejected Jesus and were destroyed after all. Philip, who realized after being taught from Jesus, was blessed. What's the difference between them? Just knowing the Bible is not sufficient. It's no more than mere acquisition of knowledge. To know the Bible means "to realize the words and put them in practice."

The World Mission Society Church of God (WMSCOG) preaches Christ of the age of the Holy Spirit to great multitude of Christians: God the Holy Spirit in the male image and God the Mother, the bride in the female image witnessed by the Bible from the 1st Chapter of Genesis to the 22nd Chapter of Revelation. At this, most people says that they came to know God the Mother testified by the Bible for the first time, giving a slight nod. 

While seeing many people leaving, saying that they came to know Christ who has come as the Spirit and the bride in the Bible, I thought of the Jews. They also knew but did not believe.

Choose the path of life

https://pasteve.com/?m=bbs&bid=bcircles&uid=1455 

God has made us known the path of life to save our souls.

You have made known to me the path of life; you will fill me with joy in your presence, with eternal pleasures at your right hand. (Psalms 16:11)

But, the problem is that there is also a path that leads us to death. Moreover, the path of death seems right to a man.

There is a way that seems right to a man, but in the end it leads to death. (Proverbs 14:12)

It's not easy to tell from the path of life from the path of death with our common sense. For this reason, God said that we must forsake our own thoughts and obey God's thoughts.

Let the wicked forsake his way and the evil man his thoughts. Let him turn to the LORD, and he will have mercy on him, and to our God, for he will freely pardon. "For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways," declares the LORD. "As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts. (Isaiah 55:7-9)

Then, what is the way of life God has showed us?

This is what the LORD says: "Stand at the crossroads and look; ask for the ancient paths, ask where the good way is, and walk in it, and you will find rest for your souls. But you said, 'We will not walk in it.' (Jeremiah 6:16)

Remember the height from which you have fallen! Repent and do the things you did at first [the first works: KJV]. If you do not repent, I will come to you and remove your lampstand from its place. (Revelation 2:5)

Keeping and following the teachings that Jesus granted us at first -- it is the path of life. Some claim, "Isn't it better to celebrate Christmas than not to celebrate any day although it was the birthday of sun-god?” Others think it's better to keep Sunday rather than to keep Saturday which is the Sabbath day because most people rest on Sunday and more people can come to God. There are also people that it doesn't matter to erect a cross because they remember the sacrifice of Christ whenever they see the cross although it was once used as an execution tool and it was even used as a symbol of pagan religion.

But, there are no verses in the Bible which indicate that Jesus was born on December 25th, which specify that the Sabbath was changed to Sunday, or which teach us to erect the cross. The teaching Jesus taught originally and showed us as an example is the new covenant including the Sabbath day and the Passover.

Please do not forget the words of God: "There is a way that seems right to a man, but in the end it leads us to death." Any other gospel that deviates from the path of life is mere the path of death whatever people make any excuses. We should forsake our thoughts and acknowledge the ancient path is the good way, and then repent and do the first works: it's the path of life.

My Loving Son

My Loving Son

I saw a story on TV not long ago.

It was about a 50-year-old disabled man with intelligence of a three-year-old.

His aged mother who was almost 80, worked as a cleaning woman in an apartment, and supported her son all alone.

Her son couldn’t even eat or wash himself and didn’t want to be apart from his mother even for a moment.

Well, except for when he puts puzzles together.

It was the only thing that the son could do by himself.

Before the mother started to clean the apartment, she would give her son some puzzles, and while he puts the puzzles together, she quickly finishes cleaning up.

Seeing her son playing with puzzles, she was not only glad, but was also upset.

“Glad that at least he can put puzzles together, but sorry and upset that he has to stay still for two hours.”

At the end of the program, the mother left a video letter.

“My son, my loving son. I was so happy the day you were born.”

Though the man couldn’t do anything because he was born disabled, he was a “loving son” to the aged mother.

Even if a child is hurt, scarred, or disabled, the child is truly a loving child to his mother.

That maternal love surely comes from our Heavenly Mother.

For healing all of our lacks and flaws, scars, and difficulties, and protecting us from all kinds of hardships in this world,

I truly give thanks for Heavenly Mother’s love. 

사랑하는 내 아들

얼마 전 한 TV 프로그램을 보게 되었습니다.

나이는 50세지만 정신지체1급으로 3세 정도의 지능을 가진 한 남자의 사연이었습니다.

여든이 다 되어가는 노모가 아파트 청소를 하며 홀로 아들을 부양하고 있었습니다.

혼자서는 밥 먹는 것, 씻는 것조차 스스로 할 수 없는 아들은 노모와 한시도 떨어지려 하지 않았습니다. 

오직, 퍼즐을 맞추는 시간만 빼고요. 

아들이 혼자 할 수 있는 유일한 일은 퍼즐 맞추기였습니다.

노모는 아파트 청소를 할 때면 아들에게 퍼즐을 쥐어주고 퍼즐을 맞추는 동안 부랴부랴 일을 끝냅니다.

노모는 퍼즐을 맞추는 아들을 보며 기쁘기도 하고 속상해하기도 했습니다.

“퍼즐이라도 맞출 수 있는 것이 기쁘고, 퍼즐을 맞추느라 두 시간 동안 꼼짝없이 앉아있는 것이 미안하고 속상해요.”

방송 말미에 노모는 아들에게 영상 편지를 남겼습니다.

“아들아, 사랑하는 내 아들아. 네가 태어난 날 엄마는 너무나 기뻤단다.”

장애를 가지고 태어나 다 커서도 혼자서는 아무것도 할 수 없는 남자도노모에게는 ‘사랑하는 내 아들’ 이었습니다.

어떤 아픔, 상처, 장애를 가졌어도 어머니께는 사랑하는 자녀입니다.

그런 어머니의 모성애는 분명 하늘 어머니께로부터 나온 것이겠지요.

우리의 부족함, 상처, 어려움 모두 치유해주시고 

세상의 어떠한 시련에도 지켜주시는 하늘 어머니의 사랑에 감사드립니다.

Unrequited Love

Unrequited Love

By haru

The saddest love

While being eyeable, the desire remains

Being awake or asleep, longing never stops

Love that is stifled with yearning

Love that is unalterable

Love that is inextricable

Love that is unstoppable though disregarded

Love that is steadfast over time

Love that is never hideous without being comprehended

Love that laughs and cries for a sinner

Love that trusts, though the promise is broken

Love that moves to tears for an apology

Love that is engraved in the heart, even for a halfhearted gratitude

Love that waits, though the love for the world is greater

Mother’s unrequited love is solely for the sinner

Mother’s love becomes the spring sunlight, and warmly covers my heart

Mother’s love becomes the rain drops on a cool summer day, and moistens my thirsty soul

Mother’s love becomes the sweet fruit on an autumn day, and fills my hungry soul

Mother’s love becomes the warm blanket on a winter day, and melts my icy soul

At last, because of Mother’s everlasting love

This sinner returns to Mother’s arms

I repent

I thank

And I love

무엇으로도 바꿀 수 없는 사랑

죄인 때문에 웃고 우는 사랑

약속을 저버려도 믿어주시는 사랑

죄송하다는 말에 눈물 흘리시는 사랑

마음에도 없는 감사인 줄 알면서도 마음속에 새겨두시는 사랑

세상을 더 사랑해도 돌아오기만을 기다려주시는 사랑

죄인만을 바라보시는 어머니의 짝사랑

 

 

어머니의 사랑이 봄날의 따스한 햇살이 되어 저의 마음을 포근히 감싸줍습니다.

어머니의 한없는 사랑 끝에

이 죄인이 어머니 품으로 돌아옵니다. 

회개합니다. 

감사합니다.

… until the kingdom of God comes

… until the kingdom of God comes (Edit)

Those who slander the World Mission Society Church of God (Witness of Ahnsahnghong) claim that they do not need to celebrate the Passover of the new covenant by citing Luke 22:

For I tell you, I will not eat it again until it finds fulfillment in the kingdom of God.” After taking the cup, he gave thanks and said, “Take this and divide it among you. For I tell you I will not drink again of the fruit of the vine until the kingdom of God comes.” (Luke 22:16-28)

They say, “Since Jesus said that he would not keep the Passover until the kingdom of God comes, it’s not necessary to keep the Passover.” In other words, they say that the Passover must be observed in the kingdom of heaven because the kingdom of God means the kingdom of heaven.

At first glance, it appears that the Passover of the new covenant should not be celebrated on this earth according to their argument. It sounds plausible but given just a wee bit of thought, you can realize how non-biblical their insistence is.

What is the Passover of the new covenant for? It is the feast through which we can have the forgiveness of sins (Matthew 26:17-28.) If their claim is correct, sinners who are not entitled to enter the kingdom of heaven will celebrate the Passover at the kingdom of heaven (Revelation 14:5.) It is nonsense! Since they do not know about the basics of the feasts, they claim non-biblical claims such as they will celebrate the Passover in heaven or they will receive the forgiveness of sins there.

What does “the kingdom of God” mean?

He told them this parable: “Look at the fig tree and all the trees. When they sprout leaves, you can see for yourselves and know that summer is near. Even so, when you see these things happening, you know that the kingdom of God is near. (Luke 21:29-31)

Jesus taught in parables that “the kingdom of God” is near “when the fig tree sprouts leaves.” Also, the book of Matthew clearly reveals when the kingdom of God comes through the parable of the fig tree.

Now learn this lesson from the fig tree: As soon as its twigs get tender and its leaves come out, you know that summer is near. Even so, when you see all these things, you know that it [he] is near, right at the door. (Matthew 24:32-33)

From these two verses, we can know that “the kingdom of God comes when the Son of Man or the Second Coming Jesus comes in the flesh.” Therefore, the words of Jesus “I will not drink again of the fruit of the vine until the kingdom of God comes (Luke 22:18)” mean that He will keep the Passover when He appears a second time. It implies that only the Second Coming Jesus is able to establish the Passover.

Then, what does it mean that the World Mission Society Church of God celebrates the Passover? It is evidence that the Second Coming Jesus, who is the only One who can establish the Passover, has come. That is, the kingdom of God has already come.

Will you still insist that the Passover should be kept in heaven while seeing and hearing every prophecy of the Bible and its fulfillment like this? You cannot enter the kingdom of heaven without having the forgiveness of sins on this earth. You still have an opportunity: You have to know the Second Coming Christ who established the Passover, before it’s too late.

A Letter from the Son, and Mother’s Reply

A Letter from the Son, and Mother’s Reply

There was an immature son who wrote a letter to his mother.

On the header it reads, “I love you Mom.”

Mom, I know that you are having hard times with me.

I always go out and play and never help you. I’m sorry, Mom.

But I know you’ll forgive me, right?

Mom. I love you so much. 

Do you also love me? 

Mom, even if you don’t love me, I’m really thankful that you’re my Mom.

Mom, I love you!

Of course the son wrote an unaffected and pure letter.

Then, the mother replied to his letter:

My son, do you know?

I love you not because you are the only one in this world.

It’s because I love you, and that’s why you are the only one in this world.

My son, do you know?

Even if I lost everything in this world, I don’t want to lose you for this world.

My son, do you know?

The only reason why I exist in this world?

That’s because of you.

I love you always.

From General Pastor’s sermon: ‘God is Love’

Always loving these immature children, and only considering us,

I give thanks, praises and eternal glory to our Heavenly Father and Heavenly Mother.

I no longer want to be an immature child, and want to confess,

“Father and Mother, I love you!”

 

아들의 편지, 어머니의 답장

어느 가정에서 철부지 아들이 엄마의 생일을 맞이해 편지를 썼습니다.

서두에 ‘엄마 사랑해요’라는 제목을 적고서 이런 내용을 적었다고 합니다.

『엄마, 요즘 나 때문에 너무 힘들지?

매일 도움도 못되고 놀러만 다니고…. 미안해 엄마.

그래도 나 용서해줄 거지? 응?

엄마 나 엄마 너무 사랑해. 엄마도 나 사랑해? 히히히

나 엄마가 나 사랑하지 않아도 엄마가 우리 엄마라는 것만으로도 너무나 감사해

엄마, 사랑해!』

아들은 엄마에 대한 사랑의 마음을 어떤 가식도 없이 고스란히 표현했습니다. 편지를 받아본 엄마는 이런 답장을 했습니다.

『아들아, 너 그거 아니?

세상에 너 밖에 없어서 널 사랑한 게 아니라 널 사랑하니까 세상에 너 밖에 없다는 거. 

아들아, 너 그거 아니?

난 늘 세상을 위해서 세상을 다 잃어도 세상을 위해선 널 잃고 싶지 않다는 것을.

아들아, 너 그거 아니?

내가 이 세상에 존재할 수 있는 단 하나의 이유가 무엇인지.

그건 바로 너야. 

늘 언제나 사랑한다.』

-총회장님 설교 ‘하나님은 사랑이시다’中-

참으로 철부지와 같은 우리를 늘 사랑해 주시고 

오직 우리만을 위해주시는 아버지 어머니께

고개 숙여 감사와 찬송과 영원한 영광을 올립니다.

이제는 더 이상 철부지가 아닌 장성한 자녀 되어 당신께 고백하고 싶습니다.

“아버지 어머니, 사랑합니다!”

The greatest miracle in the world

https://pasteve.com/?c=BibleColumn&sort=d_regis&orderby=desc&uid=1396

The greatest miracle in the world

Which one is the greater miracle: Rising from the dead or living eternally?

Of course, the latter is. Even if someone rises from the dead, he will die again some day. Eternal living is really the greatest miracle in the world. “Eternal life”– the area which has not been accomplished even by the state-of-the-art medical science and which will not be fulfilled by men. 2,000 years ago, God let mankind, who were destined to die, know how to experience the miracle of living forever. He allowed it through the Passover of the new covenant.

Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life … (John 6:53-54)

And he said to them, “I have eagerly desired to eat this Passover with you before I suffer… “This [Bread] is my body … This cup [Wine] is the new covenant in my blood, which is poured out for you. (Luke 22:15-20)

However, Satan, who watched thirstily for a chance to destroy God’s work, abolished the Passover at the Council of Nicaea in 325 AD.

Christ Ahnsahnghong, God who has come again, said as follows to let us know what the greatest miracle in the world is and how important the Passover is:

People say that the manna which came down from heaven in the wilderness is a miracle, and they say that raising Lazarus from the dead is a miracle.

Yet, in the eyes of God, neither being cured of diseases nor rising from the dead is a miracle.

All people including Lazarus and those who ate the manna in the wilderness died.

However, those who eat and drink the flesh and blood of Jesus will live even though they die; and they will never die.

Obtaining eternal life by eating the bread of life!

Giving life through the Passover to those who are to die; there is no greater miracle than this.

The most important thing to us is the flesh and blood of Jesus, which was allowed through His death on the cross.

In this age, we should not seek miracles and signs.

We should seek eternal life.

We must understand deeply and cherish this covenant of life God gives us, and must always give thanks to God.”

I pray that all people around the world will experience the greatest miracle in the world: living forever with the flesh and blood God which was allowed through His death on the cross.
