World Mission Society Church of God: **Break Your Concept**

Isaiah 55:8-9 "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."

When many people come to the Church of God World Mission Society, we all come with our own ideas concerning God and the heavenly things. I, myself, and many others when we first studied had so much of our opinions and ideas but when the bible was opened, there was no more opinion. When the bible speaks, it becomes fact because it is Word of God. God's thoughts obviously are greater than ours so if God teaches us something and it doesn't match our thinking, we shouldn't neglect what God says. If ever you say to yourself, "I don't think God can do that or be like that" remember that if God has it planned out a certain way it is for a reason. I mean, if we follow what God says, can we go wrong? No. God is greater, let God Father and Mother do their job and we do ours, which is to follow. We are God's flock, let's be sure to follow our shepherd knowing his thoughts and ways are greater than ours. And just in case, at times if it gets hard, like a burden on my mind, I just think of what Christ said...

John 14:1 "Do not let your hearts be troubled. Trust in God; trust also in me."

For example:

God's thought = Sabbath Saturday, My thought = Sunday Service

God's thought = Passover, My thought = Communion, Eucharist

God's thought = Father AND Mother are God, My thought = Only Father is God

God's thought = AhnSahngHong is the new name, My thought = Jesus is still the name.

Keeping in mind God's thought, I had to break my concept. All I know is that God is true and doesn't fail, so I rather follow his unfailing ways than mine. (Yes, my ways fail) : )

Church of God World Mission Society: **First Impression**

Wow! Amazing! You might hear these words constantly in the Church of God World Mission Society. However, if its your first time going, you probably would be confused. I write to you because I myself felt it and so did some people that I invited. Actually, one person went recently and these are the things that she brought up. (Maybe you've thought of them too)

1. Why is everyone so incredibly happy?
- Well, would you rather them be upset? Jesus said he came to preach the "Good News". After receiving good news I tend to be happy most of the time.

2. Why are most people in suits?
- When you meet the president or leader of a nation, are your gym clothes proper attire? I guess they just want to be presentable before God.

3. Why are there so many different nations in one Church?
- That's easy. God doesn't discriminate, he said preach to all nations (Matt 28:19)

4. Why do the women wear veils?
- Yes, strange huh? Ask your grandmother, she might know. Veils used to be worn by women during worship all the time but that stopped when Catholic Church basically said that they don't need to be worn any more. However, Bible says they should be worn (1 Cor 11:5-6).
And no, no one is allowed to change God's word...*HINT HINT*...

5. Church of God answers eveything using the Bible, why is that?
- Because the Bible really is God's word and God knows exactly what you're going to ask. If they spoke without the Bible, then whatever they say could be up for debate. But, when the Bible speaks, who is it really that you're arguing with...? In order for you to believe, the Bible must speak (Rom 10:17).

6. Why do they believe the 2nd Coming Christ has come?
- This is why: Bible said God would walk this earth a Second Time and do certain things so that you would know he is God. Apparently, a man named Ahnsahnghong has come and done ALL of those things. And yet, still, some wonder who he is...

7. Why do they pray to "Ahnsahnghong" and not to "Jesus"?
- For the same reason you pray to Jesus and not Jehovah. Jehovah God came and changed his name to Jesus. So now Jesus has come and changed his name to Ahnsahnghong. (Rev 3:12 *new name*)

8. Why so much emphasis on God the Mother Jerusalem?
-If you believe the bible, then Mother Jerusalem is God. The bible proves it beginning to end. We go to church to learn about God...God so happens to be Father Ahnsahnghong and Mother Jerusalem.

9. If the teachings are so clear in the Bible, why doesn't anybody know about this?
-I don't want to be the one to tell you but, its because either of 2 reasons.
#1. They don't know and are waiting for someone to tell them, such as your case. OR...
#2. They don't care. They do what they want and could care less what God says. Since they don't believe in or agree w/ the true God, they make up their own gods in their minds.
For all this, Christ said "The secrets of the kingdom of heaven have been given to you but not to them..." (Matt 13:11) Be happy God chose to give these secrets to you : ) Lastly...

10. I don't know why, but I get such a good feeling when I go to Church of God..
-I know! Because God is there! (I can't believe I have to answer this)

*I'm sure there are other things she mentioned but my memory is not so great. If you can come up w/ something else, let me know. After she asked these things, it all started to make sense to her so she is willing to go back and continue to study.
