Remember the Sabbath Day by Keeping It Holy

God's Sabbath is the seventh day of the week.

The Sabbath, the worship day, is Saturday!

"... it [Sunday observance] rests upon the authority of the Catholic Church and not upon an explicit text in the Bible." -The Faith of Millions by Rev. John A. O'brien -

Jesus, Peter and John also kept the Sabbath.(Lk 4:16)

Today, too, when we keep the Sabbath, we can receive God's blessing recorded in the Bible.

Relative Heresy and Absolute Heresy

Relative Heresy and Absolute Heresy

Relative Heresy : A heresy judged by the dogma of a denomination

Then what is the "absolute heresy" that the Bible defines?

Absolute Heresy : "Heresies don't teach the word of God, but made-up stories[doctrines], they will be finally destroyed." (2 peter 2:1)

If There Is God the Father then why isn’t there God the Mother

If there is God the Father then why isn't there God the Mother?

[Gen. 1:26-27 ] then God said, "Let us make man in our image, in our likeness..." So, God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them.

The above verse states that God has two images-a male image and a female image. Until now, we have only known and called upon the male image of God: "Father." Then how should we call upon the female image of God?

Logically, we should refer to God's female image as "Mother." This is why God had said, "Let us make man in our image, in our likeness."

Heaven and Hell

Do you believe in heaven? or hell.

Why do we live in this earth?

Because we commited the sin in the heaven.

God forgave our sin through the Passover.

If you love God, pls keep the Passover.

The Passover the Solution for Great Disasters

Now, there are so many disasters everywhere in the world: wars between nations, ethnic conflicts, terrors, famines, earthquakes, and deadly cold or heat or flood caused by changes in weather patterns. Whenever such things occur, people tremble with fear, not knowing who or what they should set their hearts on. The Bible already prophesied about the coming disasters and what people would do in the day of such disasters.

2 Pe 3:7-10 "By the same word the present heavens and earth are reserved for fire, being kept for the day of judgment and destruction of ungodly men. ... But the day of the Lord will come like a thief. The heavens will disappear with a roar; the elements will be destroyed by fire, and the earth and everything in it will be laid bare."

However, God has prepared a way to escape the disaster when such dreadful day comes. He has made the way-the good news of salvation-known to us. We can get it only through the Bible, not through any high-tech equipment developed by scientists.

Passover is the way to escape the disaster

Let's take a careful look at God's word of promise to let us escape any disaster.

Ex 12:11-14 "... it is the LORD's Passover. On that same night I will pass through Egypt and strike down every firstborn-both men and animals ... The blood will be a sign for you on the houses where you are; and when I see the blood, I will pass over you. No destructive plague will touch you when I strike Egypt. ... "

At the time of the Exodus, when the plague of destroying every firstborn was brought upon Egypt, no plague befell to the Israeli houses which kept the Passover. In other words, the plague passed over them. Thus, Passover (pascha in Greek, pesach in Hebrew) implies "Plagues pass over."

Then, in this age, too, should we keep the Passover by putting the blood of a lamb on the sides of the door?

"This[The Passover bread] is my body given for you; do this in rememberance of me."(Luke22:19)

"This cup[The Passover wine] is the new covenant in my blood, which is poured out for you."

Jesus established the Passover of the new covenant with bread and wine. In this age, we can be saved from disasters when we keep the Passover of the new covenant with bread and wine, following the word of Jesus!!! Then, which church keeps the Passover, following the way Jesus taught? It is only the Church of God that keeps the Passover just as Jesus ordered. The only way to escape the last disaster, which scientiest are warning about, is to keep the Passover.

Keep the Passover, the way God taught, and be saved from the great disaster!

The spirit and the bride

Elohim Will Appear in Their Own Time

God promised that He would appear according to His own timing (1 Tim. 6:15). Let us confirm what form He will appear in.

Rev. 22:17 『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.』

For our salvation, God always referred to Himself as "us," and then Elohim God appeared—as the Holy Spirit and the Bride—to give us the water of life. In the first book of Timothy, it is written that God alone is immortal and lives in unapproachable light (1 Tim. 6:16). Thus, only the Spirit and the Bride—the Second Coming Christ, Ahnsahnghong, and the New Jerusalem Mother—are immortal and only They have life. Nevertheless, some people boast that they, also, have the power to give life. The people who make such assumptions are greatly mistaken. The Bible says that no one can have life until he or she eats the flesh of the Son of Man and drinks His blood (John 6:53), and Jesus said, "Follow me, and let the dead bury their own dead" (Matt. 8:22). Mere human beings, such as ourselves, cannot say that we are alive.

There is no life in us, so we must go to God—Christ Ahnsahnghong and Mother—if we want to receive eternal life and salvation, because They are the only ones who have life. In order to give the everlasting water of life to mortal beings, God came down to this earth in this last age as the Holy Spirit, Ahnsahnghong, and the Bride, the New Jerusalem Mother. People who pervert or deny this Biblical teaching will never be able to enter the kingdom of heaven.

The Soul

My true life

We often wonder, "Who am I?" Some say, "Man eats to live," while others argue that, "Man lives to eat." Neither of these opinions is correct.

Our main essence is not our physical body, but the spirit inside our body. Our spirit lives in the tent we call our "body." When we go camping, we only stay in a tent for a few days, don't we? The time we spend in the tent is temporary. Likewise, our life within the body-our tent-is only a temporary life.

If we live for our physical body, it means that we are living for our house. Life is to live for ourselves, not for the houses we dwell in.

In our life of faith, we sometimes focus on our physical life more than our spiritual life. Of course, as long as we are in the body, we can't deny the physical life; however, if we live only for a temporary tent which will soon disappear, how pitiful will our life be?

We live in these tents because of our sin, but after we receive the forgiveness of our sins, redemption-under the grace of Christ, the Passover Lamb-our eternal houses wait for us. Let's reconsider what we should focus on while we live on this earth.

2 Cor. 4:18 『So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen. For what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal.』
