The Church of God Established by God
The Church of God, established by God, does not follow man-made rules, only God's laws. They recognize that no one is able to give salvation except God, the Creator of the heavens and the earth. Jesus already revealed that those who follow the laws of men cannot be saved.
Mark 7:6-9 『He [Jesus] replied, "Isaiah was right when he prophesied about you hypocrites; as it is written: "'These people honor me with their lips, but their hearts are far from me. They worship me in vain; their teachings are but rules taught by men.' You have let go of the commands of God and are holding on to the traditions of men." And he said to them: "You have a fine way of setting aside the commands of God in order to observe your own traditions!"』
The Church of God was established on the foundation of the apostles who followed the teachings of Jesus Christ, and it has not changed since its inception. The true Church follows the laws which Jesus and the apostles observed. No matter how many members a church has, if the church has different doctrines than those of Jesus Christ, it could not have originated from Jesus. We keep the Sabbath day?the memorial day of the Creator?not observing the law of the Old Testament, but following the law of the new covenant which Jesus and the apostles obeyed.
The saints, who will be saved on the last day, the day of God's judgment, are those who follow in Jesus' footsteps. The Sabbath day, one of Christ's footmarks, is a very precious commandment of God. This is why I follow God, my Father and Mother, in their Church, the CHURCH OF GOD.
THE TRUE CHURCH ESTABLISHED BY GOD
ABOUT THE SABBATH
Today I want to tell my blog readers about the Sabbath Day.
Many people say that the Sabbath is a law from the old testament, abolished by Jesus and therefore we don't have to keep. However today I was thinking, how that doesn't make any sense at all. So I decided to write a little bit about it.
THE SABBATH OF THE OLD TESTAMENT
Exodus 31:12-17 Then the LORD said to Moses, "Say to the Israelites, 'You must observe my Sabbaths. This will be a sign between me and you 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. For six days, work is to be done, but the seventh day is a Sabbath of rest, holy to the LORD. Whoever does any work on the Sabbath day must be put to death. The Israelites are to observe the Sabbath, celebrating it for the generations to come as a lasting covenant. It will be a sign between me and the Israelites forever, for in six days the LORD made the heavens and the earth, and on the seventh day he abstained from work and rested.' "
" '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. For six days, work is to be done, but the seventh day is a Sabbath of rest, holy to the LORD. Whoever does any work on the Sabbath day must be put to death. The Israelites are to observe the Sabbath, celebrating it for the generations to come as a lasting covenant. It will be a sign between me and the Israelites forever, for in six days the LORD made the heavens and the earth, and on the seventh day he abstained from work and rested.' "
That is the Sabbath of the old testament. The Jews or Israelites had to keep this Sabbath in those times. This law required no work at all. They weren't even allowed to light a fire on the Sabbath. (Exodus 35:2-3)
However the Sabbath we keep in the Church of God World Mission Society is NOT like that. We keep the Sabbath of Jesus Christ, the Sabbath of the new testament.
THE SABBATH OF THE NEW TESTAMENT
Luke 4:16 16 Jesus went to Nazareth, where he had been brought up. On the Sabbath day he went into the synagogue as he usually did. And he stood up to read. (N.I.R. version)
Jesus kept the Sabbath but, how did he keep it? Let's read this same chapter a little more.
Luke 4:16-21 When he came to the village of Nazareth, his boyhood home, he went as usual to the synagogue on the Sabbath and stood up to read the Scriptures. ... He rolled up the scroll, handed it back to the attendant, and sat down.
Jesus did keep the Sabbath day but, He didn't keep it like the rest of the people of the time. Instead He kept it in a different way, new way, Christ's way. Why?
Matthew 5:17 "Do not think I have come to get rid of what is written in the Law or in the Prophets. I have not come to do that. Instead, I have come to give full meaning to what is written. (N.I.R. version)
Then why did He still keep the Sabbath even when He came?
John 13:15 I have set you an example that you should do as I have done for you.
It was because Jesus wants us to follow his example. I know that Jesus came to this earth also to show us the way to go to heaven. For this reason I need to follow in everything He did when He was here 2000 years ago. Even though He came to Israel He did not follow their customs or teachings but, instead show the true and only way to go to Kingdom. This is why to say that Jesus was a Jew or that He followed their customs is totally non-biblical.
Jesus, whether He came to Norway or Russia or Israel, is the only way to Heaven.(John 14:6)
To keep the Sabbath of the New Testament is Jesus' teaching. However this day stopped being kept after the disciples went up to heaven and little by little disappeared by the early third centuary. Today no church keeps the Sabbath like the disciples 2000 years ago (except the Church of God World Mission Society).
In the times when Jesus came nobody knew about this new way of keeping the Sabbath. It was Christ who established it and showed this teaching. Likewise noone could show the truth about the Sabbath in these last days. Our Father Christ Ahnsahnghong had to come a second time to teach his truth established 2000 years back which had been abolished by the evil one.
Thanks and praise be to Him who brought all of God's truth back. Thanks to Him, Christ Ahnsahnghong.
The Church of God Established by God
I found this note and I thought I should add it to my blog because even though it's only a few lines but in those lines are written the very words of God, which if a man understands and realizes he can find salvation. It made think and confirm once again that the church I go is the true and only church that's why it's name is the Church of God.
The Church of God, established by God, does not follow man-made rules, only God's laws. They recognize that no one is able to give salvation except God, the Creator of the heavens and the earth. Jesus already revealed that those who follow the laws of men cannot be saved.
Mark 7:6-9 『He [Jesus] replied, "Isaiah was right when he prophesied about you hypocrites; as it is written: "'These people honor me with their lips, but their hearts are far from me. They worship me in vain; their teachings are but rules taught by men.' You have let go of the commands of God and are holding on to the traditions of men." And he said to them: "You have a fine way of setting aside the commands of God in order to observe your own traditions!"』
The Church of God was established on the foundation of the apostles who followed the teachings of Jesus Christ, and it has not changed since its inception. The true Church follows the laws which Jesus and the apostles observed.
No matter how many members a church has, if the church has different doctrines than those of Jesus Christ, it could not have originated from Jesus. We keep the Sabbath day? the memorial day of the Creator? not observing the law of the Old Testament, but following the law of the new covenant which Jesus and the apostles obeyed.
The saints, who will be saved on the last day, the day of God's judgment, are those who follow in Jesus' footsteps. The Sabbath day, one of Christ's footmarks, is a very precious commandment of God.

If Ahnsahnghong is God then follow Him
Hi, I'm back with more truth of Ahnsahnghong.
Today I want talk about a verse which I saw in the bible the other day. It makes so much sense because it relates to what happens today with many people. This is the verse:
Today I want talk about a verse which I saw in the bible the other day. It makes so much sense because it relates to what happens today with many people. This is the verse:
Elijah on Mount Carmel
1 Kings 18:21-21 Elijah went before the people and said, "How long will you waver between two opinions? If the LORD is God, follow him; but if Baal (idol or false god) is God, follow him." BUT THE PEOPLE SAID NOTHING.
At this time Elijah, a prophet of God, said to the people who followed the false gods, to recognize who is the true God. But the people said nothing. If their god were the true God they should follow that one but, if Elijah's God were the true One then, they should follow Elijah's God. However the people at that time said nothing. Later the people realized that Elijah's God was the One and only God by putting the Lord to test. But because they had to recognize God by a test God did not allowed them to be forgiven and instead they all perished. (1 Kings 18:21-40 )
I saw this in the bible and I started thinking how it has so much to do with the reality that face today. We, the children of God in his church tell people through the bible that Christ Ahnsahnghong is the true God of heaven. But they don't believe Him and reject his teachings.
After rejecting Him and us, they blaspheme the true Church of God.
Through the bible and only through the bible we can recognize Christ. Then whoever doesn't believe Christ Ahnsahnghong is God should read and study the bible. Whether we do so or not He will always be God but, if we recognize Him through the bible we can receive eternal life. Just like the people during Elijah's time recognized God only after putting Him to test and so were destroyed. Also the today some people don't want to recognize Christ through the bible but instead wait until the last day to see if He's true or not. I certainly don't want to miss the chance to see Christ through the bible, this why I came to the Church of God World Mission Society and after doing so I don't regret it.
IF CHRIST AHNSAHNGHONG IS GOD THEM FOLLOW HIM
Do you believe in Christ Ahn Sahng Hong?
Many people today don't believe our Father Ahn Sahng Hong because of many nonsense reasons.
Some people might say "because He was born in Korea"
(But He came from Korea as prophesied)
Others "because He came in the flesh"
(But He came in the flesh as prophesied)
Still others "because He has a new name"
(But He has new name as prophesied)
But we believe our Father AHN SAHNG HONG because He gave us eternal life, and because He's God. Why? Because Christ Ahnsahnghong fulfilled all the prophecies of the bible. We believe in Him because we know the prophecies that were written there and which Christ Ahnsahnghong fulfilled. But sometimes I ask people who say that they believe in Jesus;
Why do you believe in Jesus Christ?
Some people might say "because He was born in Korea"
(But He came from Korea as prophesied)
Others "because He came in the flesh"
(But He came in the flesh as prophesied)
Still others "because He has a new name"

But we believe our Father AHN SAHNG HONG because He gave us eternal life, and because He's God. Why? Because Christ Ahnsahnghong fulfilled all the prophecies of the bible. We believe in Him because we know the prophecies that were written there and which Christ Ahnsahnghong fulfilled. But sometimes I ask people who say that they believe in Jesus;
Why do you believe in Jesus Christ?
How sure are you that He was the Christ prophesied to come?
Which prophecies did He fulfill?
Their answer is always "I don't know" Others say "I just believe in Him" Still others say "because everybody believes in Him"
How can we understand the Second-coming-Jesus if don't even know the first?
Jesus said 2000 years ago
John 15:21
They will treat you this way because of my name, for they do not know the One who sent me.
Unless they knew and understood Jehovah they could not understand and believe Jesus. It is the same now this is why people don't believe our Father. How can they believe our Father Ahnsahnghong unless they know Jesus? I didn't wanted to miss Christ's coming for this reason I decided to study about Jesus' first coming in order to understand and believe our True God and Father Christ Ahn Sahng Hong.

Hidden Manna And New Name Ahn Sahng Hong
This time I want to show a little of what I've learned through the bible in the Chrurch of God World Mission Society. One study that moved me a lot was the "Hidden Manna and New Name" So I decided to explain a little about this amazing prophecy fulfilled by our Heavenly Father Christ Ahn Sahng Hong. Only after understanding the first coming Christ we can understand the Second.
Then how was Jesus recognized as Christ by the disciples 2000 years ago?
There's one verse in the bible where He's asked by the jews this question:
John 6:30-31 So they asked him, "What miraculous sign then will you give that we may see it and believe you? What will you do? Our forefathers ate the manna in the desert; as it is written: 'He gave them bread from heaven to eat.
Jesus was asked by the people "What miraculous sign then will you give that we may see it and believe you? What will you do?"
They wanted to know for sure whether He was true Christ or not. So they said to Him "our forefathers ate manna in desert; as it is written HE GAVE THEM BREAD FROM HEAVEN TO EAT.
Now "manna" is the bread that came down from heaven which Moses had given their forefathers in the old testament times. That's why they said they could believe Moses as a true prophet of God. So they asked Jesus "What would You do?"
Then let's see what was Jesus answer to them. That's the same question that many people have today. How can we recognize the true Christ?
MANNA IS THE BREAD THAT COMES DOWN FROM HEAVEN
We have to know what was Jesus answer 2000 years ago. That answer is the key to see who is true and who is false. This was Jesus answer:
John 6:49-50 Your forefathers ate the manna in the desert, yet they died. But here is the bread that comes down from heaven (MANNA), which a man may eat and not die.
Jesus didn't say that we wouldn't give then manna instead He said "here is the bread that comes down from heaven", manna but, this manna a man may eat and live forever. He said Your forefathers ate the manna, yet they died but the manna He gives you can eat and NOT die.
This is a greater manna, because it gives eternal life. Then this was his answer 2000 years ago. They asked "What will you do?" He answered I'll give you manna. Then what is this manna thru which we can recognize him, manna which we may eat and have eternal life.
John 6:51 I am the living bread that came down from heaven. If anyone eats of this bread, he will live forever. This bread is my flesh, which I will give for the life of the world."
He said He is the bread that came down from heaven then He is the manna. Jesus said "this bread is my flesh" So we need to eat his flesh but how?
John 6:53-55 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.
I see that not only his flesh but also his blood but still how?
Matthew 26:17-19, 26-28 On the first day of the Feast of Unleavened Bread, the disciples came to Jesus and asked, "Where do you want us to make preparations for you to e
at the Passover?" He replied, "Go into the city to a certain man and tell him, 'The Teacher says: My appointed time is near. I am going to celebrate the Passover with my disciples at your house.' " 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.
Jesus showed that Passover is the way to eat the manna, his flesh and blood, which He gave as a sign to recognize Him as Christ.
This was the sign to recognize Him as the true Christ 2000 years ago. But how did the people react after hearing his words? Let's see.
John 6:41 At this the Jews began to grumble about him because he said, "I am the bread that came down from heaven."
And what else they said?
John 6:60 On hearing it, many of his disciples said, "This is a hard teaching. Who can accept it?"
Ending up in what action?
John 6:66From this time many of his disciples turned back and no longer followed him.
But what about the twelve disciples who always followed Him?
John 6:67"You do not want to leave too, do you?" Jesus asked the Twelve.
Jesus said this to them but, DID THEY LEAVE?
John 6:68 Simon Peter answered him, "Lord, to whom shall we go? You have the words of eternal life.
Now we know that the sign to recognize the first coming Christ Jesus. That sign was the manna that gives eternal life which is the feast of the Passover.
Thru this the disciples were able to believe Jesus and accepted Him 2000 years ago. But what about now in 2008.
How are we to recognize the Second-Coming-Christ?
Thru the same exact sign MANNA. Let's see?
Revelation 2:17 He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. To him who overcomes, I will give some of the HIDDEN MANNA. I will also give him a WHITE STONE WITH A NEW NAME WRITTEN ON IT, known only to him who receives it.
I know it says Hidden manna but you might be thinking "what about the WHITE STONE?"
White everybody knows represents pure or clean without anything dirty. But what about stone? What kind of pure or clean STONE is the bible talking about? Let's see through the bible.
1 Peter 2:4 As you come to him, the living Stone—rejected by men but chosen by God and precious to him.
This Living Stone is none other than Jesus Christ. Then Christ is the Stone mentioned in Revelation but, the verse said "WHITE STONE WITH A NEW NAME"
Then Second-Coming-Christ will come with a new name (other than Jesus). But what will be the sign to recognize Him by? The HIDDEN MANNA.
Revelation 2:17 He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. To him who overcomes, I will give some of the HIDDEN MANNA. I will also give him a WHITE STONE with a new name written on it, known only to him who receives it.
The Second-Coming- Christ will also be recognize by the manna, which is the Passover of the New covenant.
Then who has done this carried it through?
Then how was Jesus recognized as Christ by the disciples 2000 years ago?
There's one verse in the bible where He's asked by the jews this question:
John 6:30-31 So they asked him, "What miraculous sign then will you give that we may see it and believe you? What will you do? Our forefathers ate the manna in the desert; as it is written: 'He gave them bread from heaven to eat.
Jesus was asked by the people "What miraculous sign then will you give that we may see it and believe you? What will you do?"They wanted to know for sure whether He was true Christ or not. So they said to Him "our forefathers ate manna in desert; as it is written HE GAVE THEM BREAD FROM HEAVEN TO EAT.
Now "manna" is the bread that came down from heaven which Moses had given their forefathers in the old testament times. That's why they said they could believe Moses as a true prophet of God. So they asked Jesus "What would You do?"
Then let's see what was Jesus answer to them. That's the same question that many people have today. How can we recognize the true Christ?
MANNA IS THE BREAD THAT COMES DOWN FROM HEAVEN
We have to know what was Jesus answer 2000 years ago. That answer is the key to see who is true and who is false. This was Jesus answer:
John 6:49-50 Your forefathers ate the manna in the desert, yet they died. But here is the bread that comes down from heaven (MANNA), which a man may eat and not die.
Jesus didn't say that we wouldn't give then manna instead He said "here is the bread that comes down from heaven", manna but, this manna a man may eat and live forever. He said Your forefathers ate the manna, yet they died but the manna He gives you can eat and NOT die.
This is a greater manna, because it gives eternal life. Then this was his answer 2000 years ago. They asked "What will you do?" He answered I'll give you manna. Then what is this manna thru which we can recognize him, manna which we may eat and have eternal life.
John 6:51 I am the living bread that came down from heaven. If anyone eats of this bread, he will live forever. This bread is my flesh, which I will give for the life of the world."
He said He is the bread that came down from heaven then He is the manna. Jesus said "this bread is my flesh" So we need to eat his flesh but how?
John 6:53-55 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.
I see that not only his flesh but also his blood but still how?
Matthew 26:17-19, 26-28 On the first day of the Feast of Unleavened Bread, the disciples came to Jesus and asked, "Where do you want us to make preparations for you to e
at the Passover?" He replied, "Go into the city to a certain man and tell him, 'The Teacher says: My appointed time is near. I am going to celebrate the Passover with my disciples at your house.'

This is my blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many for the forgiveness of sins.Jesus showed that Passover is the way to eat the manna, his flesh and blood, which He gave as a sign to recognize Him as Christ.
This was the sign to recognize Him as the true Christ 2000 years ago. But how did the people react after hearing his words? Let's see.

John 6:68 Simon Peter answered him, "Lord, to whom shall we go? You have the words of eternal life.
Now we know that the sign to recognize the first coming Christ Jesus. That sign was the manna that gives eternal life which is the feast of the Passover.
Thru this the disciples were able to believe Jesus and accepted Him 2000 years ago. But what about now in 2008.
How are we to recognize the Second-Coming-Christ?
Thru the same exact sign MANNA. Let's see?
Revelation 2:17 He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. To him who overcomes, I will give some of the HIDDEN MANNA. I will also give him a WHITE STONE WITH A NEW NAME WRITTEN ON IT, known only to him who receives it.
I know it says Hidden manna but you might be thinking "what about the WHITE STONE?"
White everybody knows represents pure or clean without anything dirty. But what about stone? What kind of pure or clean STONE is the bible talking about? Let's see through the bible.
1 Peter 2:4 As you come to him, the living Stone—rejected by men but chosen by God and precious to him.
This Living Stone is none other than Jesus Christ. Then Christ is the Stone mentioned in Revelation but, the verse said "WHITE STONE WITH A NEW NAME"
Then Second-Coming-Christ will come with a new name (other than Jesus). But what will be the sign to recognize Him by? The HIDDEN MANNA.
Revelation 2:17 He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. To him who overcomes, I will give some of the HIDDEN MANNA. I will also give him a WHITE STONE with a new name written on it, known only to him who receives it.
The Second-Coming- Christ will also be recognize by the manna, which is the Passover of the New covenant.
Then who has done this carried it through?
CHRIST AHN SAHNG HONG
THE SECOND COMING CHRIST
GOD ALMIGHTY
AMEN
Ahn Sahng Hong, God Through the Bible
I'm back with more about the TRUTH OF CHRIST AHN SAHNG HONG. I had been really busy with work, that is the reason why I hadn't blogged.
Since my last post I've been studying a lot more about our True Heavenly Father Christ Ahnsahnghong. It's so amazing how our Father testified Himself through the scriptures in so many ways and so many prophecies.
The bible says:
John 7:17 If anyone chooses to do God's will, he will find out whether my teaching comes from God or whether I speak on my own.
We can prove that our Father Ahnsahnghong is God Almighty through the bible.
But to him who says that our Father is not God, I say
LET HIM PROVE IT THROUGH THE BIBLE, if he can.
