Christ Ahnsahnghong believed the idea of a “Mother God” to be delusional
Christ Ahnsahnghong did not believe the idea of “Mother God” to be delusional; He believed a woman named Um Soo In was delusional. People try to use Christ Ahnsahnghong’s book, “The New Jerusalem and the Bride: Interpretation on Women’s Veil,” (published in October 1983) as a source to imply that He said, Mother God does not exist. However, those who make such a claim are unaware of the whole truth behind the story.
Christ Ahnsahnghong is the author of the above-mentioned book, but the people who speak against the existence of Heavenly Mother quoting that book are only using fragments of its content. With only pieces of the story, they omit the full interpretation of why the book was written and make out of context references. As a result, they misrepresent the book’s purpose, distort the teachings of Christ Ahnsahnghong and mislead those who are unfamiliar with the World Mission Society Church of God.
To see the reason why Christ Ahnsahnghong wrote that book, read Christ Ahnsahnghong’s book against Mother God.
A similar situation happened to Jesus Christ 2,000 years ago. Let me explain:
Matthew 16:20 – “Then he warned his disciples not to tell anyone that he was the Christ.”
Then, should we never let the world know that Jesus is the Christ? Do you think it is acceptable to teach people that we must not testify that Jesus is the Christ; would you quote that verse and then insist that is the will of Jesus? No way! A little after saying that, Jesus asked His disciples to be His witnesses in Samaria and to the ends of the earth:
Acts 1:8 – “But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.”
Do you think the disciples told Jesus: “No, Jesus, you told us at one point not to tell anyone you are the Christ, so we are not going to testify to Samaria nor the ends of the earth.” How silly would that be? Let’s see another example:
On one occasion Jesus called Apostle Peter “Satan!”
Matthew 16:23 – “Jesus turned and said to Peter, ‘Get behind me, Satan! You are a stumbling block to me; you do not have in mind the things of God, but the things of men.’”
Logically, since Jesus called Peter “Satan,” we should never trust Peter nor his words, using Matthew 16:23 as hard evidence. However, did Jesus really mean Peter was Satan when He said those words? Of course not! Why? Well, because later Jesus told Peter to take care of His sheep.
John 21:15-17 – “…The third time he said to him, ‘Simon son of John, do you love me?’ Peter was hurt because Jesus asked him the third time, ‘Do you love me?’ He said, ‘Lord, you know all things; you know that I love you.’ Jesus said, ‘Feed my sheep…’”
Some churches consider that Apostle Peter is Satan because of the verse in Matthew 16. If we think like that, we oppose the will of Jesus Christ who appointed Peter to feed His sheep.
Now with these examples, we can understand the situation with Christ Ahnsahnghong and His book, “The New Jerusalem and the Bride: Interpretation on Women’s Veil.” We must understand that these words of Christ Ahnsahnghong were written under special circumstances and it is because of those special circumstances that the book’s content diverges from His teachings published in a later book.
