The World Mission Society Church of God contradicts Christ Ahnsahnghong.
Those who speak against the World Mission Society Church of God try to discredit the Church and the teachings of Christ Ahnsahnghong by quoting His books and making it seem like there is a contradiction between Christ Ahnsahnghong’s teachings and what the World Mission Society Church of God teaches.
They say that the World Mission Society Church of God contradicts Christ Ahnsahnghong by teaching that we can be saved when we pray in the name of Christ Ahnsahnghong; when Christ Ahnsahnghong Himself taught that salvation is found in no other name than Jesus, not only at His first coming but even in the last days.
It is true that Christ Ahnsahnghong wrote that, however that does not contradict what the World Mission Society Church of God teaches.
When was the name of Jesus given as the name of the Savior?
Although Jesus Christ walked and preached with His disciples for three years, it was not until right before He left this world that He taught His disciples to pray in His name.
John 16:24 – Until now you have not asked for anything in my name. Ask and you will receive, and your joy will be complete.
Jesus clearly said the words: “Until now…” this means that for all the years He was with them, they didn’t pray in His name, and it was not until the night He was arrested, right before He left this world, that He taught them to pray in His name. In the same way, when Christ Ahnsahnghong wrote the book: The Mystery of God and the Spring of the Water of Life, Christ Ahnsahnghong had not taught that we should pray in His name yet, so the expression in the book is quite natural and not contradictory.
What if they lived 2,000 years ago?
If the people who speak against the World Mission Society Church of God had lived 2,000 years ago in the time of Jesus they would sound something like this:
The prophet Isaiah himself wrote in his scroll:
Isaiah 43:10-11 – Ye are my witnesses, saith Jehovah, and my servant whom I have chosen; that ye may know and believe me, and understand that I am he: before me there was not God formed, neither shall there be after me. I, even I, am Jehovah; and besides me there is no savior. – ASV
WAIT A MINUTE!! Isaiah says that Jehovah is the only name to call on for salvation, even in the future?!?, Even their “Messiah” Jesus prayed in Jehovah’s name, But the Sect of the Nazarene (Church of God) Preaches, “Jesus is ‘the stone you builders rejected, which has become the cornerstone.’ Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to men by which we must be saved.” And their church members carefully pray to and call on the name of Jesus, not Jehovah. They are contradicting their own founder—their own ‘god’ and the Scriptures.
Sounds familiar doesn’t it? Yup is the same as the ones who rejected Jesus 2,000 years ago, by this you can understand the nature of those who make such statements.
If only Jesus’ name is needed for salvation, why do we need to receive His new name?
Now if Jesus’ name was the only name that we need for salvation, why is there a prophecy in the Bible that says those who overcome – Gods’ people – in the last days would receive the new name of Jesus?
Revelation 3:11-12 – I am coming soon. Hold on to what you have, so that no one will take your crown. Him who overcomes I will make a pillar in the temple of my God… and I will also write on him my new name.
Do you think God will give us the new name of Jesus for no reason? Think of the time when God gave the name of the Father and of the Son. When He gave the name of the Father — Jehovah, at that time the name Jehovah was the name of the savior, so people prayed in that name. Also, when God gave the name of the Son — Jesus, at that time the name Jesus was the name of the savior, so people prayed in that name. Then, isn’t it natural that when we receive the new name of Jesus that we should pray in that name for salvation? Think about it seriously.
But if this is not enough to for the readers to understand that there is no contradiction between what Christ Ahnsahnghong taught and what the World Mission Society Church of God teaches, lets take a look at another passage in the book: The Mystery of God and the Spring of the Water of Life.
As you can see, Christ Ahnsahnghong clearly taught that the Savior would have a new name, but not until right before He left this world did He teach the members of the Church at that time that it was His name – Ahnsahnghong.
