About Heresy

Today many people have a misunderstanding of what heresy is. Once they find a man practicing doctrines different from their own, they likely think he belongs to a heresy. We are not supposed to judge others by our own thoughts, social standards, or popular opinions. We must understand what heresy is through the Bible.
2 Pe 2:1-3 They will secretly introduce destructive heresies, even denying the sovereign Lord who bought them.
The main characteristics of heresy are as follows;
1. It results in destruction.
2. It brings the way of truth into disrepute.
3. It follows man-made teachings, not the teachings of the Bible.
4. It opposes God through the teachings of false prophets.
5. It never leads to salvation.

What does the Bible say about heresy? It does not follow teachings of the Bible, but man-made teachings instead.
1. Heresy does not keep the Sabbath in the Bible.
The Biblical Sabbath is Saturday. Every church must worship God on Saturday, not on Sunday. Let me give you some proof.
• "… The Scriptures enforce the religious observance of Saturday" (The Faith of Our Fathers, pp. 72～73).
• "The first day of the week [Sunday] was proclaimed as a day of rest and of worship … In 321 A.D. Constantine …" (The Story of the Christian Church, pp. 60～61).
Jesus also testifies the Sabbath day is His custom in the Bible. Jesus kept the Sabbath day as an example so that we should do as He did.
Lk 4:16 On the Sabbath day he went into the synagogue, as was his custom
Jn 13:15 I [Jesus] have set you an example that you should do as I have done for you.
2. Heresy does not celebrate the Passover in the Bible. The Passover is God's truth that gives us the forgiveness of sins and judges all other gods. Those who do not keep it will be cut off from God's people on the last day.
Mt 26:17-28 This is my blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many for the forgiveness of sins.
Jn 6:53 Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life.
Ex 12:11-12 On the same night … I will bring judgement on all the gods of Egypt.
Nu 9:13 If a man fails who is ceremonially clean and not on a journey fails to celebrate the Passover, that person must be cut off from his people.
3. Most contemporary Christians keep Christmas [Dec. 25th] as Jesus' birthday. In fact, Christmas is one of many pagan festivals not in the Bible.
• "The Christian church took over many pagan ideas and images. From sun-worship, for example, came the celebration of Christ's birth on the twenty-fifth of December, the birthday of the Sun” (A LION HANDBOOK / THE HISTORY OF CHRISTIANITY, p. 141).
• "December 25―this was the date of a pagan festival in Rome, chosen in A.D. 274 by the emperor Aurelian as the birthday of the unconquered sun (natalis solis invicti), which at the winter solstice begins again to show an increase of light" (ENCYCLOPAEDIA BRITANNICA, p. 704).
4. Heresy reveres a cross, an idol, from pagan Rome. It is a type of execution tool used for crucifying brutal criminals, and is not the symbol of Jesus Christ.

2,000 years ago, Jesus and His Church of God were wrongfully accused as a Nazarene sect, one of the heresies (Ac 24:5). However, most people acknowledge Jesus as their Christ. Likewise, the whole world will acknowledge Christ Ahnsahnghong and the Church of God in the end. Come to the Church of God and receive salvation. God bless you.

The Bible Is Fact

The Bible begins with the creation of the heavens and the earth, and it ends with the creation of a new heaven and a new earth. Some say and believe that the Bible is just fiction. Some say the Bible is only a historical book of Israel. And some say the Bible has nothing to do with them because Jesus is only the Jewish God of Israel. However, the Bible is a fact and is confirmed by science. The Bible surely has something to do with all mankind and their salvation.

When we study human history, we can find one day missing. We can find the answer to that mystery in the Bible.
Jos 10:12 "O sun, stand still over Gibeon, O moon, over the Valley of Aijalon." So the sun stood still … The sun stopped in the middle of the sky and delayed going down about a full day.
In order for Joshua to win the battle, God made the sun stand still in the middle of the sky about a full day. Here we can find one clue for a day lost in our history. Let's find another one to solve this mystery.
2 Ki 20:11 The LORD made the shadow go back the ten steps it had gone down on the stairway of Ahaz.
We can find the lost 40 minutes here. These two episodes strongly support that the Bible is a fact.
cf) 360÷10=36 / 1 day=1,440 minutes / 1,440÷36=40 minutes=10 degree
The Bible also gives us much knowledge of the sky.
Job 26:7 He spreads out the northern skies over empty space; he suspends the earth over nothing.
This fact proved to be true in recent times. How did Job know this fact 3,500 years ago without an astronomical telescope?
Job 36:27 He draws up the drops of water, which distill as rain to the streams; the clouds pour down their moisture and abundant showers fall on mankind.
This describes the process of formation and fall of rain. It was proven by scientists in recent times. How did Job get this scientific knowledge 3,500 years ago? This also proves that the Bible has much fact and agrees with science.
The Bible has lots of historical facts. Let's find out.
Isa 45:1 To Cyrus, whose right hand I take hold of to subdue nations before him.
This prophecy of Cyrus by the Prophet Isaiah was fulfilled 170 years later.
Ezr 1:1 In the first year of Cyrus king of Persia. … The LORD, the God heaven, has given me all the kingdoms of the earth.
Da 8:20 The two-horned ram that you saw represents the kings of Media and Persia.
God showed Daniel a nation to appear in the future, and He named it. As prophesied in the Bible, Media and Persia rose after Babylon.
Like this, all the remaining prophecies of the Bible are surely to happen.
Rev 21:1 I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away.
Here the first heaven and the first earth represent our physical life, and a new heaven and a new earth our spiritual life to come. We will be able to achieve the spiritual life through our faithful life on earth.

We studied that the Bible is fact. Unbelief of the Bible causes men to waver in their belief of God. Believe in God and receive His blessing of salvation on the last day. God bless you.

About Food

Some claim that we should abstain from certain foods. Today we will study through the Bible God's correct teaching about food.
Rev 22:18 If anyone adds anything to them, God will add to him the plagues described in this book. And if anyone takes words away from this book of prophecy, God will take away from him his share in the tree of life and in the holy city, which are described in this book.
We must not add anything to the words of the Bible or subtract anything from them. We must follow the Bible's teaching as it says.

Now let's study about the food which God has allowed us to eat in each age. First of all, what did God allow Adam and Eve to eat in the Garden of Eden?
Ge 1:29 I give you every seed-bearing plant on the face of the whole earth and every tree that has fruit with seed in it. They will be yours for food.
Let's find out what God told His people to eat in the time of Noah.
Ge 9:3 Everything that lives and moves will be food for you.
What did God command His people to eat in the time of Moses?
Lev 11:1 Of all the animals that live on land, these are the ones you may eat.
How about the time of the Early Church? Let's find out.
Ac 15:28 You are to abstain from food sacrificed to idols, from blood, from the meat of strangled animals and from sexual immorality.
God allowed specific food for His people to eat in each age. They obeyed God's teaching without adding or taking away from His Word. In the last days, we should also keep God's teaching, not our own ideas or teachings from the churches.
1 Ti 4:1 In later times some will abandon the faith and follow deceiving spirits and things taught by demons … They forbid people to marry and order them to abstain from certain foods.
The doctrines of some churches keep people from marrying and from eating certain food. The Bible says that they are taught by demons. Their consciences have been seared as with a hot iron. We must follow God's teaching in the Bible.

In these last days, some people have appeared to teach such false doctrines as prophesied in the Bible. Who preaches such deceiving doctrines? It is S.D.A., the Seventh-day Adventists. They insist only vegetarians can be saved. The Roman Catholic Church forbids their clergy to marry. They are all led by demons. They do not follow God's teaching in the Bible.
We must be careful not to follow man's teaching but God's teaching for our salvation. God bless you.

The City of Refuge and the Earth

According to Moses' law, a man who kills someone accidently may flee to the city of refuge and save his life. He must stay there until the death of the high priest. He could never be freed with a ransom.
However, a man who kills someone intentionally must be put to death. He can never save his life, even if he flees to the city of refuge.
Nu 35:9-34 Select some towns to be your cities of refuge, to which a person who has killed someone accidentally may flee.
This law has something to do with our salvation. Today we will study the prophetical relationship between the city of refuge and the earth.

The law of the city of refuge is one of the prophecies to be fulfilled by Jesus. Let's find out how Jesus accomplished this law. First, we need to find out who the high priest stands for.
Da 9:24 To anoint the most holy [most holy one].
The prophet Daniel said the most holy one would be anointed. Let's find out who he is.
Heb 5:8 … (Jesus) was designated by God to be high priest in the order of Melchizedek.
Jesus was anointed as high priest as prophesied. The Bible testifies that we are all sinners from heaven who came down to this earth. Here on earth we are aliens and strangers.
Heb 11:13 They admitted that they were aliens and strangers on earth. … they were longing for a better country―a heavenly one.
We are sinners who accidently committed sin against God in heaven and fled to the earth temporarily for the sake of our lives. This earth is the spiritual city of refuge where heavenly sinners stay for a while before they return home, heaven.
How can we go back to our home? We can find the answer through the law of the city of refuge. Accidental murderers could return to their own property only through the sacrifice of the high priest. We, the accidental murderers from heaven, can go back to our heavenly home only through the sacrifice of Jesus Christ, the high priest. We can never be freed with a ransom.
1 Pe 1:18 It was not perishable things such as silver or gold that you were redeemed. … but with the precious blood of Christ (the high priest).
Eph 1:7 In him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins.
We can receive redemption and return to our heavenly home only through the blood of Jesus, the heavenly high priest. Nothing else enables us go back to our heavenly home.
The bottom line is Jesus' blood. How can we receive Jesus' blood? Let's find out.
Heb 5:10 And was designated by God to be high priest in the order of Melchizedek.
Jesus came in the order of Melchizedek and gave us the forgiveness of our sins through the Passover bread and wine. They represent the flesh and blood of Jesus, who is the Passover sacrifice.

In the last days Second Coming Christ Ahnsahnhong appeared as the high priest in the order of Melchizedek. We can go back to heaven, our home, only through His Passover sacrifice. Believe in Him and receive redemption to go back to our home. God bless you.
