World Mission Society Church of God- In this age,
only God the Father Christ Ahnsahnghong and God the Mother (Heavenly Mother) can give us salvation.
Do not limit God to thinking the way we do
Most Korean people think that roosters cry 'kkokkio,' dogs bark 'meong meong' and cats say 'yaong.' However, Americans think that roosters cry ‘cock-a doodle-doo,' dogs bark 'bow-wow' and cats cry 'meow.' The disparity exists not because those animals indeed cry different languages. Nevertheless the people in each country think that they cry differently from one country to another, because they have learned to hear the sounds that way from their childhood.
Think of a yellow pistil of a flower. It appears yellow to us, but to dogs it appears white (because dogs are color-blind and perceive things in only black and white) and to bees it appears red. Can we say confidently that the color we perceive is real? Can we truly believe that all our senses are basically reliable?
Think about the earth's revolution. The earth moves around the sun at a speed of about 108,000km per hour. However, our body doesn't feel any speed. Besides this there are a lot of things that we can't perceive with our senses. But most people acknowledge only the things that they can see and perceive with their senses and believe only what they think is right. How foolish they are!
By using our own senses, we can't discern between the true and the false. So God said, "Judge nothing before the appointed time; wait till the Lord comes" (1 Co 4:5). Nevertheless many interpret the Bible in their own ways. Each of them insists that only their interpretation is true, even denying the truth uttered by God Himself. What a blasphemous act!
We must not believe in only the visible. Instead of insisting upon our own ideas, we need to ask God to open our spiritual eyes to read the Bible with correct understanding. For we can't receive Christ fully with our own way of thinking.
From whose point of view should we look at Christ? We must see Him through the eyes of those who are saved, so that we can understand Him correctly and get salvation. For the goal of our faith is the salvation of our souls. Let's look at Christ through their eyes.
Rev 14:1-5 "Then I looked, and there before me was the Lamb, standing on Mount Zion, and with him 144,000 ... No one could learn the song except the 144,000 who had been redeemed from the earth. ..."
From the view point of the 144,000 who have been redeemed, Christ dwells in Zion. We must find Zion and know her law in order to meet Christ. In the eyes of those outside Zion, Christ cannot be found. We should not look at the Bible in a church's view no matter what the church says, neither should we look at it from the point of view of a person.
Think of the yellow pistils of flowers. Only the human eye can perceive the color as yellow; neither the eyes of insects like bees nor the eyes of animals can see it the same way. Without understanding such a mystery, we can't understand God. We need to know at least a part of God's creation in order to understand the Bible. Many fall into error, because they try to look at God's word, a mystery of Wonderful Coun-selor, with a finite and very limited human mind or understanding.
