(Why are Christ AhnSahngHong and Heavenly Mother Elohim God? Why does Church of God World Mission Society believe in Christ AhnSahngHong and Heavenly Mother? Everyone may be curious about Christ AhnSahngHong and Heavenly Mother in church of God World Mission Society. Let us see how They are testified through the Bible.)

When God appeared on Mount Sinai in a spiritual form, people fled with fear. So He became flesh and drew near to men. Then they rejected Him and His teachings, calling Him the Nazarene. They reported to the governor their charges against the apostles who preached the truth. They were accused of telling the truth. Seeing the truth being rejected, we come to understand that it is hard for ordinary people to perceive the truth. Then, who can recognize and receive Christ who has come in the flesh? Some will receive Him and accept His teaching graciously, and some will persecute Him and reject it, calling it heresy. Those who receive Him are the ones born of the heavenly blessing.

Heb 2:13-15
『 … Since the children have flesh and blood, he too shared in their humanity so that by his death he might destroy him who holds the power of death―that is, the devil―and free those who all their lives were held in slavery by their fear of death.』

When the traveler approached the birds, they fled away. Then he wanted to be a bird to draw near to them. Likewise, people fled away in fear when God approached them, so He chose to come into the world, having the same flesh and blood as His children. He didn’t care whether the world believed Him or not, whether the people called His teachings heresy or not; for He came to earth for the sole purpose of saving souls with true faith. The place Christ first visited in this earth was not the magnificent temple built for 46 years. He visited the Sea of Galilee where Peter was fishing to earn his livelihood. “Come, follow me, and I will make you fishers of men.” On hearing this word, Peter left his net and followed Jesus.

Mt 4:18-20
『As Jesus was walking beside the Sea of Galilee, he saw two brothers, Simon called Peter and his brother Andrew. They were casting a net into the lake, for they were fishermen. “Come, follow me,” Jesus said, “and I will make you fishers of men.” At once they left their nets and followed him.』

Why do you think Jesus did not go to the temple, where many people gathered together, but to a small sea village? Jesus did not visit them but called Peter and Andrew and told them to follow Him. Immediately they left their nets and followed Him. When Jesus went a little farther, He saw James and John. Then He called them and they too followed Him right away. There was a great difference between these fishermen and the chief priests. The chief priests, who were worshiping God in a magnificent temple with numerous people, were not pleasing in God’s sight; they were not the people who would receive His word. When Jesus preach-ed the gospel to them, they rejected it, calling it heresy. However, when He delivered it to Peter, he received it with joy and followed Him wherever He went. Jesus already knew their spiritual state. Did He ever say to Peter, “Repent”? No. However, to the chief priests and the teachers of law, He repeatedly cried out and said, “Repent!” They called upon God only with their lips and their heart was far from Him; without repentance, none of them could enter heaven.
