Christ Ahnsahnghong vs. The Greatest Commandment
Claim against Christ Ahnsahnghong
Some people say that Christ Ahnsahnghong contradicts the Bible because He taught that the Passover is the greatest commandment of the law.
Quote from the Mystery of God and the Spring of the Water of life – Chapter 8 – The Mystery of the Passover
However in the Bible it says that loving God with all our heart, soul and mind is the greatest commandment in the law, not the Passover.
Matthew 22:37-38 – Jesus replied: “Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. This is the first and greatest commandment.
Clarification of Christ Ahnsahnghongs’ teachings
At first glance there seems to be a contradiction, however when you understand the fundamental principle behind the Passover, you will understand that there is no contradiction on what Christ Ahnsahnghong taught. That principle is the fact that God acknowledges those who keep the Passover, as the ones who love God with all their heart, soul and mind. Let’s see an example of this:
2 Kings 23:25 – Neither before nor after Josiah was there a king like him who turned to the LORD as he did – with all his heart and with all his soul and with all his strength, in accordance with all the Law of Moses.
In the passage above we can see that King Josiah is acknowledged by God to have kept the first and greatest commandment, but why did he receive this recognition?
2 Kings 23:21-23 – The king gave this order to all the people: “Celebrate the Passover to the LORD your God, as it is written in this Book of the Covenant.” Not since the days of the judges who led Israel, nor throughout the days of the kings of Israel and the kings of Judah, had any such Passover been observed. But in the eighteen year of King Josiah, this Passover was celebrated to the LORD in Jerusalem.
When we read a few passages above we come to find out that the reason King Josiah received that acknowledgement is because he commanded all the people of his kingdom to celebrate the Passover.
Let’s see another example:
Deuteronomy 6:5-9 – Love the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength. These commandments that I give you today are to be upon your hearts. Impress them on your children. Talk about them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up. Tie them as symbols on your hands and bind them on your foreheads…
The passage above is speaking about how the first and greatest commandment will be sign on our hands and foreheads; however we find a similar passage in the book of Exodus, speaking about the celebration of the Passover.
Exodus 13:8-10 – On that day tell your son, ‘I do this because of what the LORD did for me when I came out Egypt.’ This observance will be for you like a sign on your hand and a reminder on your forehead that the law of LORD is to be on your lips. For the LORD brought you out of Egypt with his mighty hand. You must keep this ordinance at the appointed time, year after year.
As we can see from the verses above, the Passover and the First and greatest commandment to love God with all our heart, soul and mind are very connected. God acknowledges those who keep the Passover to be the ones who love Him with all their heart, soul and mind.
This clearly shows that Christ Ahnsahnghong let us understand the way to love God with all our heart, soul and mind by keeping the Passover.
So is Christ Ahnsahnghong really contradicting the Bible? Not really. However, what we can say is that the author of the comment doesn’t really know what he/she is talking about.

Once again this proves Christ Ahnsahnghong as the one who has revealed the mysteries of the Bible in these last days. I would’ve never been able to put that together. Impossible with men’s wisdom.
-
It’s amazing how God is always true. In the beginnning it’s true in the middle it’s true and in the end it’s true. God- is the truth
-
It’s so amazing. We must rely on the Bible to be saved. Christ Ahnsahnghong is the Savior of this age who fulfilled all prophecies of the Bible.
-
How could we possibly figure out on our own how to love God with ALL our heart, with ALL our mind, and with ALL our soul? If we take what it says in Matthew 22:37-38 literally, it would be impossible for us to devote ourselves fully to God, seeing as though we already have trouble dividing ourselves to other aspects of our life. Only God Almighty can reveal to us how to spiritually fulfill the first and greatest commandment. Since the beginning Father Ahnsahnghong has wanted us to receive salvation. Clearly it is He who would be the One to clarify that the first commandment can be fulfilled by keeping the Passover. Only the One who is Greatest can reveal the greatest commandment.

“It was just before the Passover Feast. Jesus knew that the time had come for him to leave this world and go to the Father. Having loved his own who were in the world, he now showed them the full extent of his love.” – John 13:1
I thought about this verse while reading this article.. Truly the bible is a parable known only to those whom God allows to understand.. I feel blessed to understand all these things, even though I never sought out for God before coming to this church. God sought for me and revealed to me spiritual truths 😀

If we read the bible with a physical point of view. (Matthew 22:37-38) it will be almost impossible to go to Heaven. (In the gospel of Luke it is written: “Do this and you will live” Luke 10:27-28) From the time of the exodus God used the Passover to protect the people of God and commanded them to keep it as a lasting ordinance. God’s great works are done through the Passover. God promised them to protect them. That is why it becomes the ultimate love between God and the people of God.

Watch how you convey your message. This is the most detailed rebuttal I have seen, and it is a good rebuttal. But at the end, there was one comment I want to talk about.
“However, what we can say is that the author of the comment doesn’t really know what he/she is talking about.”
This is rude and unnecessary and it should probably be removed. If Ahn Sang Hong or Jesus were on the earth, and they were refuting a claim against them, do you think they would have ended their response like that?

What is truly so amazing about the teachings of Christ AhnSahngHong is the detail in which the particular subject (Sabbath, Passover, Trinity, etc) is explained through the Bible. These rebuttals are only the tip of the iceberg shown to bring to light the inaccuracies of others’ arguments. God knows we are so slow to believe and understand, so God provides verse after verse, example after example all throughout the Bible testifying to the truths Christ AhnSahngHong revealed to us. God is perfect & God’s word is perfect; there are no contradictions. The only way to understand the perfection of the Bible & Christ AhnSahngHong’s teachings (for they are one and the same) is to come and study and see how every single verse connects to make us wise for our salvation. Here every question has an answer in the Bible & we know these things only because God, the author Himself, came to this earth to explain it to us. Surely Christ AhnSahngHong and Heavenly Mother, New Jerusalem are God. I hope you take some time to come study & learn about the God of the Bible!! 🙂

Great!
so, we have eternal Life and forgiveness sins only by Christ Ahn Sahng Hong! Amen -
Amen! It is true thanks to Second Coming Christ Ahnsahnghong that established Church of God when he came in the flesh as true God Almighty and Restablished the Passover according to prophecy in which we were able to realize how to love God with all our heart, soul, and mind. I, truly give thanks to God for restablishing the true Passover which only God can do and also letting me understand the scriptures and the mysteries of God that has been kept hidden for ages! Praise be to God!

The one in the Bible that was commended to have kept the Greatest Commandment by loving God with all his heart and soul and strength was King Josiah. Why was he commended in this way? Through his obedience in keeping the Passover, he showed his love towards God.
When I think about it, as a sinner, God could have made it more difficult for me the keep the Greatest Commandment–but God didn’t. I am so thankful to Christ Ahnsahnghong for reestablishing the New Covenant Passover which confirms my love for God and allows me to receive the forgiveness of sins. I am also thankful that my thoughts are not God’s thoughts! 🙂

I remember learning how to love God with all my heart and with all my soul and with all my mind early on in my basic studies with the World Mission Society Church of God. It made perfect sense through the bible that this is talking about the Passover, and was explained in a 30 minute study.
This is something that most churches are confused about and still don’t know the answer to, even to this day… then how can Christ Ahnsahnghong make this so simple and so clear? Because He is the true second coming of Christ that will teach us all things (Jn 14:26). I have never been to another church that makes the bible so complete! -
People say Christ contradicts the Bible. People say the Bible contradicts the Bible. People say science contradicts the Bible. In reality I think it is only people that contradict the Bible. Come to study the truth!

Truly Thanks to Father Ahnsahnghong for revealing all the truth in the bible. As Jesus said 2000 ago in Matthew 13:10 -” The knowledge of the secrets of the kingdom of heaven has been given to you, but not to them.” You can never understand the truth of the bible without keeping the Passover. Come keep the Passover so your spiritual eyes can see, ears can hear and your mind and heart can be softened and humbled before the word of God.
