I literally just had someone try to recruit me! She sent me a flyer w/ their website on it. Went to the website and immediately remembered a doc talking about this being a cult!!! Searched more and found your video! This is nuts!!
hi, currently i am leaving in korea. just now 3 women knock to my house and introduce me to their god the mother. I said that i am a christian and i only believe in one God. then they gave the rev. 22:17, telling me that the bride mention there was god the mother. they threw me lot of verses to support their claim. i have lot things to say to them but i cant xpress it well in korean. after our goodbyes i imediately search on how to rebuke those who believes in their beliefs. and my search lead me here.
@@thewhisper417 she was looking for HOW to to refute the claims the women were making regarding bible verses and "god the mother". Her internet search lead her to Mike Wingers TH-cam page to find some answers.
@dil subba Try considering the Facts and test it with Scripture. The mother god concept was refuted by ann-sang-hong itself, and he was the founder for his beliefs. By this itself you know everything related to this cult is a false doctrine and a false teaching. Don't believe me? Research yourself, you'll know the Truth. Remember, the Jesus Christ is the true Christ, yesterday, now and forever 🙏🏻
As a non Christian beware of what they say. I went into it being open minded and just wanting to learn about their doctrine and not to criticize it. This perspective did not alow me to see the cherry picking of verses that they always did and subsequently lead me to believe what they were saying. I never had an interest in refuting and never did till a few weeks ago. It's ok to learn but beware that they do make a very compelling narrative even for non Christians. For university students, if you want to find a Christian community at your school these people are not the way. They may be nice and fun people but they are their to recruit you and bring you into THEIR church and not to help you become a Christian. If you want friends, ask some people for help with an assignment in a class you lile and try to start a study group. If you want Christian friends most churches will have college student groups and would love to have you visit.
These people have my younger sister so confused & it's absolutely infuriating to think that she could be led astray like this. Like you said it's so very important to be knowledable in the word which she wasn't so it was easy for them to take things & twist them to their ideology & mislead her. The enemy is busy but no doubt God will have the last say & I already know the truth will be revealed to her in Jesus name. Going to continue arming myself with biblical truth & continuing to ask God for wisdom & patience on the matter. That you brother Mike for the information given about this cult of false prophets. May God continue to bless you!
@@gorillasinthemisttv Goodluck, I have a Bible study planned with my good friend who is locked in with The church of god. I accepted their Bible study so that I may refute them and hopefully open his eyes. I will be praying 🙏 and leave it all to Jesus
Thank you. Honestly, thank you. Ive been researching constantly because something didnt sit right while going to the church of God. Ive looked into more as well and im about to go to my bible study leader with these findings. Pray for me they will be understanding
This is actually a very big church in Austin/San Antonio Texas and the surrounding areas. I was invited to do “Bible study” as well. I’ve been doing them for about a month until they introduced a “second coming christ” ahn sahng-hong and immediately it raised red flags for me. They gave no scripture other than the word “east” or the teaching of Passover to support this. The study ended with none of my questions answered and her wanting me to get baptized immediately, whenever I was free next. We are supposed to go over more our next Bible study in 2 days, but I won’t be returning. I feel sorry for the girl teaching me, for she’s just a young woman herself, probably a college age. I don’t want to completely shut her out, but I don’t know how to address my concerns about her church with her.
The Church of God interprets the Last Supper as the same day as the Passover and keeps it grand. However, according to the Bible, the Last Supper and the Passover are different days. The Last Supper was held on the day before the Passover, and this is recorded in detail in the Gospel of John. Yehoshua's actions were recorded in detail in the Gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John, and Matthew, Mark, and Luke recorded the Last Supper in just a few lines. However, John wrote in great detail in a vast amount of content. So, if you look closely at the Gospel of John, you will find that the Last Supper took place on the eve of the Passover. John wrote about the Last Supper: [John 13:1~2] It was before Passover, and Jesus knew that the time had come for him to leave this world and to return to the Father. He had always loved his followers in this world, and he loved them to the very end. Even before the evening meal started, the devil had made Judas, the son of Simon Iscariot, decide to betray Jesus. In the Gospel of John, we can confirm that the Last Supper was held before the Passover. During the Last Supper, Judas had a few words with Yehoshua and left to sell Jehoshua, but the remaining disciples misunderstood that Judas was going to buy things for the feast. [John 13:26~30] Jesus answered, "I will dip this piece of bread in the sauce and give it to the one I was talking about." Then Jesus dipped the bread and gave it to Judas, the son of Simon Iscariot. Right then Satan took control of Judas. Jesus said, "Judas, go quickly and do what you have to do." No one at the meal understood what Jesus meant. But because Judas was in charge of the money, some of them thought that Jesus had told him to buy something they needed for the festival. Others thought that Jesus had told him to give some money to the poor. Judas took the piece of bread and went out. It was already night. What does it mean that Judas went out to buy things for the feast? If that day was the Passover, what kind of holiday did the disciples think? If the Last Supper is the Passover, does it make sense to go out to buy things for the holiday? Also, the Jews dragged Yehoshua all night long. And many Jews followed to see Yehoshua. Then, when Yehoshua was dragged into Pilate's palace, many Jews were reluctant to enter Pilate's official residence. What was the reason? [John 18:28] Then they led Jesus from Caiaphas into the Praetorium, and it was early; and they themselves did not enter into the Praetorium so that they would not be defiled, but might eat the Passover. Why do you think the Jews who followed Yehoshua were reluctant to enter Pilate's official residence? They wanted to eat the Passover food without defiling their bodies. If the day that Yehoshua was arrested was the Passover, would the Jews have thought like that? Governor Pilate also made the following meaningful remarks before issuing the death sentence: [John 18:39~40] But you have a custom that I release someone for you at the Passover; do you wish then that I release for you the King of the Jews?" So they cried out again, saying, "Not this Man, but Barabbas." Now Barabbas was a robber. Pilate wanted to release Yehoshua. So he tried to release Jesus by using the special pardon that he gives every year at the Passover. But the Jews wanted Barabbas the robber, not Yehoshua, and Yehoshua did not receive pardon at the Passover. In the end, Yehoshua died on the cross on the Passover, and John wrote about that day as follows. [John 19:31~33] The next day would be both a Sabbath and the Passover. It was a special day for the Jewish people, and they did not want the bodies to stay on the crosses during that day. So they asked Pilate to break the men's legs and take their bodies down. The soldiers first broke the legs of the other two men who were nailed there. But when they came to Jesus, they saw that he was already dead, and they did not break his legs. Yehoshua died on the cross at 3:00 PM on January 14, the Jewish calendar, when the Passover lamb was sacrificed. And that night the Jews celebrated the feast of the Passover, which coincided with the Sabbath. Yehoshua died at 3 pm on Friday, so the Passover that was celebrated that evening overlapped the Sabbath. In this way, John recorded the details from the Last Supper to his death in great detail. If you look closely, you can see that Yehoshua died on the 14th day of January in the Jewish calendar, that is, at 3 pm on the Passover, when the Passover lamb was sacrificed. In addition to this, if you look at the Gospel of Matthew, you can confirm that Yehoshua died on the Passover. [Matthew 26:1~5] When Jesus had finished teaching, he told his disciples, "You know that two days from now will be Passover. That is when the Son of Man will be handed over to his enemies and nailed to a cross." At that time the chief priests and the nation's leaders were meeting at the home of Caiaphas the high priest. They planned how they could sneak around and have Jesus arrested and put to death. But they said, "We must not do it during Passover, because the people will riot." Yehoshua knew that he would be crucified on the Passover. That is why He said, “It is the Passover in two days, and on that day the Son of Man will be crucified.” The elders also feared the commotion and conspired to kill Joshua before the Passover began. Therefore, Yehoshua died on the Passover. How, then, is the history book of the church recorded? Church history books also record that Yehoshua died on the Passover. Therefore, the Last Supper was celebrated on the eve of Passover. In a book called Faith of the Fathers published by the Catholic Church, it was recorded that Yehoshua died on the Passover, and the Israeli Cultural Center also replied that Yehoshua died on the Passover. Not only the records of the Bible, but also the history books of the church and the answers of the Israeli Cultural Center testify that Yehoshua died on the Passover. However, the Church of God insists that the Passover and the Last Supper are the same day. And every year, on the evening of the Passover on January 14 of the Jewish calendar, bread and wine are shared and celebrated like the Last Supper. They are brainwashing believers by claiming that if they do not eat and drink the Passover bread and wine, they will not have eternal life. However, this is a misinterpretation of the Bible. The Last Supper is a different day from the Passover, and eating and drinking of bread and wine does not give you eternal life. The members of the Church of God are being deceived by their leaders, Gil-Ja Jang and Joo-Cheol Kim. You need to realize that you are being deceived and get out of there.
The World Evangelical Mission Association of the Church of God preached the doctrine that deified people and those who were brainwashed by it are creating another victim in the name of the gospel.
My son and daughter in law recently visited me in FL. They are stationed in the Navy at Port Huaneme, CA and she immediately started telling me about the "Church of God" that she was going to (my son went with her when he wasn'tworking). She started telling me they were pressuring her to be baptized so she could participate in "passover." I asked her what their beliefs on "Who" Jesus is and she couldn't tell me! I was so concerned! Praise the Lord she went back and started questioning and has now realized it is a CULT! Thank you Mike and Sarah for your wonderful ministry
They emphasised one verse without understanding the context n then ignored another verse that is contradicting to the 1st verse. esp .. Pentecostal cult doctrine! 😅
Thank you this is so helpful!! I’m studying with them once a week right now and I am fully aware they are trying to convert me. However, I’m trying to play the uno reverse card because I know who Jesus is and it’s not Ahn Sahng Hong
Amen. I went in 2010. Manipulated me as a student and the world never ended in 2012 like we were told. People committed suicide, marriages were broken and than they tell brothers and sisters to basically leave you alone because your going to hell.
I was approached by two ladies at my university back in 2016 (my freshman year). I still identified as a Roman Catholic back then but I had no knowledge of Scripture whatsoever. They made me read Revelation 21:2 out loud and gave me points/arguments on why God is a mother instead of a father. They mentioned something about the bride and how New Jerusalem will float down from heaven. After they made me read a couple verses from their Bibles and contorting it into making God a female, they asked for my information and if I would be willing to join a Bible study with them. I think I gave them a fake number because they seemed very pushy (which I thought was more offensive than twisting God's Word at the time). Now I'm a Christ-follower who is reading and trying to understand Biblical context and I *now* know that they completely butchered and misinterpreted everything they presented to me. Multiple friends of mine were also approached during that semester, but I was the only one who remembered what they actually argued in the Bible as being support for their so-called "doctrine." Thank you for humbly, lovingly, and courageously defending God's Word!
Wrong...Christ was showing his apostles who believed in Christ and CHRIST was showing the saducees and pharisees that he was GOD in the flesh..the MESSIAH...
Thank you Mike for your help. I recently was approached by some members of WMSCOG and I had a hard time finding what church they were apart of. Your videos are a great resource.
The same thing happened to me and baptize me too in the name of ung sung ong lol idk the name. That’s when I realized I got myself in a cult but I did t know how to say no. So I went to my first Sunday service. And realize they were worshipping something else and acted creepy. After that day I ignored them. They knocked my door and I just ignored them. They called me like a hundred times I ignored and blocked them. They texted me telling my I will regret what I’m doing. But I knew I did the right thing.
You need to renounce the books and teachings from this evil Cult burn them literally and go and seek deliverance from a real Christian thats Born again spirit filled Tongue talking devil stomping..so your soul can be set free. Prophetic Deliverance please look her up Ana Mendez very powerful and affective soul deliverance. God bless you read your bible and let nobody decieve you stand firm in your faith in Jesus.
Hi everyone, 2 verses come to mind in relation to this video: 1 John 2:3-4, Matt 12: 31-32 = Rev 2:17 Why would you make fun of the spirit when it says I will give you a new name? So can anyone here tell me who is the new name?
Hey Mike! I have a question that I hope you can help me with. The other day my boyfriend and I were tricked into going to a “bible study” by a coworker of mine and it ended up being exactly what you’ve been talking about in your videos. We were taken into a separate room to do a “bible study” and they tried convincing us about their Christ Ahnsahnghong and the rest of their beliefs. My boyfriend and I are Christians and we study the word of God and knew everything they were saying was rooted in complete blasphemy. We were having a back and forth with them on their beliefs and how it doesn’t add up to the scripture they were trying to give us as evidence and at one point I had said, “okay, if "Christ AhnSahnHong” is really the second coming of Jesus Christ then explain to me how? What prophecies did he fulfill? what exactly has he done to make you guys believe that he is the son of God?” They said “Are you familiar with the parable of the Fig Tree?” and I said “yes.” then they said “ well because you don’t believe in what we’re saying when it comes to the sabbath and Christmas and everything else we cannot teach you what you’re asking because you don’t believe.” So obvi I know this is just crazy but I was wondering if you could help me figure out what they would’ve tried to use as a defense with the parable of the fig tree? Thanks for the help and your knowledge and for speaking truth?
I think their following response WAS their explanation of the parable. Assuming they mean the time that Jesus wilted the tree, they may have been saying that since you aren’t “bearing fruit” of accepting their beliefs, then they’ll just leave you to “wither,” as if you’re totally missing out! It just sounds like a veiled insult: “You’re too ignorant so you’re like the fig tree Jesus cursed.” At least, that’s how I’m reading it.
Never worry when a demon calls you stupid. Worry about Jesus thinking you're stupid. They did you a favour by not carrying on with their nonsense and lies. They soon realised you were smart and knew the True Bible and Scripture. 👍
Hey Friend and sister in Christ 🙏🏼☺️ Check this out : You’ve probably heard the expression “face the music.” But you might not know that it is believed to have originated in Japan. According to the story, the imperial orchestra once humored a man who couldn’t play a note. Because of his wealth and great influence, the man demanded that a seat be given to him in the group because he wanted to “perform” before the emperor. The conductor agreed to let him sit in the second row of the orchestra and hold a flute, even though the man couldn’t read a dot of music. As a concert would begin, he’d simply raise his instrument, pucker his lips, and move his fingers. He went through all the motions of playing, but never made a sound. This deception continued for two years. However, a new conductor took over when the old one parted ways. He told the orchestra members that he wanted to audition each player personally. One by one, they performed in his presence. Then came the phony flutist’s turn. He was frantic with worry, so he pretended to be sick. However, a doctor ordered to examine him declared that he was perfectly well. The new conductor insisted that the man appear and demonstrate his skill. Shamefacedly, the phony had to confess that he was a fake. He wanted the prestige of being part of the orchestra, but since he never took the time to learn his instrument, he was unable to “face the music.” The word “hypocrite” comes from the Greek word hupokrites. It is defined as “the practice of professing beliefs, feelings, or virtues that one does not hold or possess” or “an actor under an assumed character.” Someone said, “The number one cause of atheism is Christians. Those who proclaim God with their mouths and deny Him with their lifestyles are what an unbelieving world finds simply unbelievable.”1 And Oswald Chambers said, “The world is glad of an excuse not to listen to the gospel message, and the inconsistencies of Christians is the excuse.”
Manmade Cover-up The Lord hates hypocrisy. Jesus made this painfully clear in His sermon on the mount. He told the people, “Take heed that ye do not your alms [charitable deeds] before men, to be seen of them: otherwise ye have no reward of your Father which is in heaven. Therefore when thou doest thine alms, do not sound a trumpet before thee, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, that they may have glory of men” (Matthew 6:1, 2, emphasis added). He continued, “And when thou prayest, thou shalt not be as the hypocrites are: for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and in the corners of the streets, that they may be seen of men. ... Moreover when ye fast, be not, as the hypocrites, of a sad countenance: for they disfigure their faces, that they may appear unto men to fast” (vs. 5, 16, emphasis added). The Pharisees were experts in the art of faking true religion. They fasted, prayed, and gave to be “seen of men.” Now I said that the Lord hates hypocrisy, and it’s true. But thank God that He loves the hypocrites, or we would all be in trouble! Arthur R. Adams said, “Don’t stay away from church because there are so many hypocrites. There’s always room for one more.” The famous actor Robert Redford was walking through a hotel lobby one day, and a fan followed him to the elevator. “Are you the real Robert Redford?” she asked with great excitement. As the doors of the elevator closed, he replied, “Only when I am alone!” If truly honest, we would all admit that at times we manufacture feelings and attitudes that are less than genuine - a “public relations” image. In fact, we can see that from the very beginning of this world’s history, hypocrisy has been man’s feeble way of cloaking sin. The Bible records: “When the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to make one wise, she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave also unto her husband with her; and he did eat. And the eyes of them both were opened, and they knew that they were naked; and they sewed fig leaves together, and made themselves aprons” (Genesis 3:6, 7). Keep in mind that before sin, Adam and Eve were not streaking around the garden of Eden in their birthday tuxedos. In the garden, man had the privilege of talking with God face to face. Thus he was clothed with an aura of light - the same type of light that shone from Moses’ face after he spent time in the presence of God (Exodus 34:29-35). But after Adam and Eve sinned, the light went out and they sensed their nakedness. Notice that their first reaction to sin was to manufacture a cover-up. When they lost their garments of light as a result of disobedience, Adam and Eve used fig leaves to cover their shame. Before sin, they had never seen anything die, so when they plucked the fig leaves from the tree, I’m sure they expected longer-lasting results. When I picked some fig leaves, I was amazed how quickly they became limp and shriveled. In addition, I found their pungent odor offensive. How very sad that our first parents traded living robes of light for limp, stinky leaves that soon withered and died. When God spoke to Adam and Eve, He explained that to cover their sin, something besides fig leaves would have to die. At this point, God established the sacrificial system. “Unto Adam also and to his wife did the LORD God make coats of skins, and clothed them” (Genesis 3:21). Adam and Eve made skimpy belts of fig leaves, but God gave them robes of skin, thus symbolizing that Jesus would have to die to cover the sin and nakedness of the lost. When we sin, one of two things will happen. We either start looking for fig leaves to make our own flimsy cover-up, or we look to Jesus for His robe of righteousness
Merely Ornamental Throughout the Bible, fig leaves are a symbol for man-made religion and false righteousness. The fig tree is a symbol of God’s people. Please read the following passage carefully: “He spake also this parable; A certain man had a fig tree planted in his vineyard; and he came and sought fruit thereon, and found none. Then said he unto the dresser of his vineyard, Behold, these three years I come seeking fruit on this fig tree, and find none: cut it down; why cumbereth it the ground? And he answering said unto him, Lord, let it alone this year also, till I shall dig about it, and dung it: And if it bear fruit, well: and if not, then after that thou shalt cut it down” (Luke 13:6-9). Year after year, the owner of the vineyard was disappointed because all he found on his fig tree was leaves. It bore no fruit. It looked like a healthy tree, but he did not plant it for mere ornamental beauty. He wanted fruit. I believe there also may be a time prophecy hidden in this parable. The vineyard mentioned in verse 6 is the land of Israel (Isaiah 5:1-7; Jeremiah 12:10; Psalm 80:8-16), in which the vine and fig tree - both symbols of Israel and Judah - were planted. The parable of the fig tree gives a total of four years from the time of planting to the final chance for the tree to bear fruit. Now a year in the Bible is 360 days, because the Jews operated on a lunar calendar. Four years would be a total of 1,440 days. A day in prophecy equals a year (Numbers 14:34; Ezekiel 4:6). According to many chronologists, Joshua crossed over the Jordan and took possession of the Promised Land at approximately 1407 BC. If you extend 1,440 years from that point in time (keeping in mind that there is no zero year), you come to the year AD 34. This important date in history is the same ending point for the 490-year prophecy given in Daniel 9:24. The angel says, “Seventy weeks are determined upon thy people and upon thy holy city,” and in fact the word “determined” is better translated as “cut off.” The parable of the fig tree said, “Then after that thou shalt cut it down” (Luke 13:9, emphasis added). It was in AD 34 that the Jews forfeited their place as God’s covenant people. Then in AD 70, both Jerusalem and the temple were completely destroyed
"On the first day of the week, when we were gathered together to break bread, Paul talked with them, intending to depart on the next day, and he prolonged his speech until midnight." (Acts 20:7)
Yeah so what does this verse mean to you? Weekly su day worship? Notice how in the verses above it mentions that this first day of the week takes place after the feast of unleavened bread. In the old testament time the first day of the week after unleavened bread is the feast of first fruit which is resurrection day in the new testament since jesus rose on the first day of the week after the 15th day of the 1st month(unleavened bread). The reason Paul gathered to break bread waa because on the resurrection day jesus broke bread with the 2 disciples who were walking in Luke 24. So they kept that as a regulation each year from jesus example it has nothing to do with weekly Sunday worship. Even in old testament there were 2 feast days that always land on Sunday, firstfruits and feast if weeks (pentacost) . But Paul kept the what day every week as the worship day? Acts 17:2 Acts 18:4. He kept the 7th day sabbath. Your understanding of that verse is from lack of knowledge of the feasts of God....
@@klausschwabnwo8284 yeah and sabbath is so important it determines your salvation .. heck no, all of you are condemned to eternal suffering too since the day you are keeping now ISNT the same weekday as the one in the roman calendar during roman times, or the hebrew calendar during moses time. OOOoo NO! Then does it mean that Abraham and Job and noel was not saved as well since there was no mention of sabbath .. not one word. O No. For such an important tool of salvation to be absent, did God purposely abandoned them? And most of all ... o no, you and your cult will end up in darkness with much weeping and gnashing of teeth, because you are condemned by your own words!!!! O no. And BTW if your cult leader try to pass this off as inconsequential, DONT let them misleading you. It is such an essential part of salvation , it must be followed strictly!!! Better resurrect the OLD hebrew calendar and trace back the historical sabbath date. But O no!!! That calendar had to be adjusted around every 200 years due to its inaccuracy. And totally out of sync with our moden gregorian calendar!!! O Woe is you. Idiocy needs to know some limit.
@@Jinkypigs "idiocy needs to know some limit" 😆 you have just expanded that limit with whatever nonsense you just spewed forth.. please educate yourself and stop believing everything the tv says. The Bible says obey the Gospel not just to believe it, in fact if you believe, you would obey it. But I doubt you know any of the examples Jesus taught us to keep. Learn some proper history or you just make yourself sound like how you you say, idiocy...
Hi Mike, I’m a new viewer and subscriber. I’ve literally been binge watching- so much useful, thoughtful & truthful information. Thank you for doing so much research and bringing us the biblical truths of relevant topics. I’m anxious to watch more and see what you have coming. I believe finding these videos was a blessing. God Bless you.
@@robertcromwell7571 what if what he said is not true? Really.? Trying to make pastor Mike out to be a liar by such vague accusation? That is NOT how it works. WHICH part of what Mike said is NOT true? Show us, else you are the one lying
a loved one of mine has become involved with the WMSCOG and recites every belief you just mentioned. Is there a source to find ex-members that I can reach out to? I am very concerned how entrenched he is in this group. He gets angry when we ask questions he can't answer.
So many Koreans lose their family members to cults, and it breaks my heart :( It's not just the church of God, also there are many deceiving cults in Korea... thank you for the information tho... Korea needs more of God's servants who can teach biblically like you.
Abu Kera Amen. I went in 2010. Manipulated me as a student and the world never ended in 2012 like we were told. People committed suicide, marriages were broken and than they tell brothers and sisters to basically leave you alone because your going to hell.
They strongly encouraged me when I was ready to go and preach that we only need to look for ppl that look like they have themself tiger ! Dress nice ! And you can’t even be approached if you’re ugly in their eyes and especially anyone that’s homeless or have any type of abnormalities
In a sense, that's not entirely a bad thing. No one should worship a false Idol as there is no Mother God, only father God. They may be Christian and only willing to go to The Father, not a fictional mother.
Dude this is literally my experience yesterday!. These guys invited me for a bible study which they said will last for only 20 minutes but lasted for 2 hours!. Then they tried to tell me about their teachings and interpretations. Fortunately, I am not ignorant of the bible. In the end, they had me baptised right away. And let me tell you they will use scare tactics and cherry picked interpretations of the bible. What raised the red flag for me was that they said that Jesus has already returned as a Korean dude and that God had a wife. Definately not coming back for any of their bible studies.
It's so crazy, I had an encounter with them too a few years ago and I'm just now finding these videos that explain all the things they actually believe. I had no clue what the group was at the time and at first it didn't raise red flags for me that they were a cult. I thought they were just a different denomination within Christianity. A girl approached me when I was out somewhere sitting at a table outside on a nice day. Actually I happened to be reading my Bible and literally prayed that if God wanted me to witness to someone, that they'd see me reading the Bible and come ask me a question about it. Not long after I prayed that this girl came up. She started talking to me about end times and how Revelation predicted World War 2 and that there would be another great war. At first I thought she was maybe from a church that put over-epmhasis on end times. She asked me if I wanted to meet for a Bible study, and though I was a little skeptical, I said yes. I thought "Sure, why not have a Bible study with a fellow Christian and make a new friend?" It was during this Bible study that I started realizing their beliefs were very off. They told me that we all lived in Heaven before coming to earth, and that Adam and Eve's sin actually happened in Heaven. After that God casted us down to earth and wiped our memories. I immediately thought it sounded like Mormonism. I was so confused on who this group was. They said a lot of stuff about passover and that any church who doesn't observe it correctly are not true Christians. Thankfully I had verses prepared because the girl talked to me about passover at our first meeting, and I thought what she was saying was unbiblical, so I got some verses ahead of time that I was able to explain to them. They also told me you needed baptism for salvation. I will also mention she brought another, older girl for the Bible study, so I was debating with both of them. We ended up meeting a third time, me and the same two people. During that meeting all the Sabbath stuff was brought up and how if you go to church on Sunday you're worshipping the devil. At one point one of the girls said she had to leave early. And then a completely different girl randomly came up and sat down with us and was like "Hey, watchya guys talking about?" She explained that she was a part of their church and worked nearby, so she just happened to run into us. Which I don't believe, I think it was planned. So they were being deceitful right off the bat. So then I had a conversation with that girl too. I think at that point they realized I was not being convinced by them and was actually trying to convince them that their beliefs were unbiblical. So they stopped contacting me after that. I did text the girl I first met and invited her to come to my Christian group on campus. She said no, but I think God put her in my path for a reason, and I planted seeds of truth. They were all very sweet girls who seemed to genuinely believe the things they were saying. I pray they would come to the true knowledge of Christ. I have been hearing more and more about this group lately and multiple people I know having encounters with them. My sister also encountered these same girls I talked to who pretended to bump into her at Walmart. My Christian friends were saying it's actually called God the Mother and it was started in Korea. I was confused because they didn't say any of that stuff to me. Turns out they just didn't reveal that up front. If any group is being secretive about their beliefs and keeping in the dark until they decide to reveal it, that's definitely a red flag.
Thank you so much for making this video! High control groups are growing so much, and a lot of us are not prepared until we encounter it in our lives or the people around us. Would love to see you cover another end times korean group Shinchoenji that's been growing in the US. Someone in my church got sucked in, and I know a few people who've been approached and they seem a lot more subtle than wmscog.
I was hoping you would talk about this. I am glad I found this vid. These people are everywhere around my university here in Korea where I teach English . I had one student ask me to help her with her English speech. It was actually her English version of the propaganda that they share. She had the English down, but she wanted to tell me their “gospel” and asked me what I thought. Anyway I’m glad you are talking about this, sir.
Also, they care about words like “Sabbath,” and “Passover,” telling me “Communion” isn’t in the Bible. I’m wondering if they know the Bible wasn’t written in English(or Korean), so they should use the Greek words, not English words.
They came to my house and said they were non denominational Christians so me and my wife invited them in. After we heard then share a false message we rebuked them and kicked them out of our home.
Well that wasn’t wise at all. It should have been your ministry to reach them. I’ve been in contact with them for over a year instead of rebuking them I continue to get together and share what the truth is. We debate and yes it gets intense but I legitimately care about them and live them so much ♥️
@@dinaandrade5415 they don’t know it’s a lie. They actually believe what they are being taught. They are not had people , they are human beings that need to be guided to the true Jesus ♥️
I am from Taiwan...sorry .I am not good at English... Do you know "The Urantia Book"?...Can you tell me how we Christian look at this book?...one sister in my church study this book
😢😢😢😢 it hurts me so much. My daughter is in that church. i talk to her, and she doesn't want to listen she so into that church i keep praying that the Lord opens her eyes
@@madelinerivera777 my daughter too ! In Texas and I am livid about her being in this cult . I am not sure why they have her going into church at 4am and then she’s there all day for the feast time . She doesn’t eat from us bc she doesn’t want food prayed over anymore 😭
When they told me that I needed to be baptized under the three name including ansagon I was like noooooooooo. And that christ came back in 1948, in Korea, hell no.
For me, i met someone on a college campus and he opened up about the original sabbath being saturday rather than sunday. Weve been doing about 1 hour bible "studies" or lessons. And i didnt know about ahnsahnghong or mother god until i went to a sermon. Fortu ately you explain alot of my questions
I would like everyone to know several people are getting out of the New Zealand church as a result of this thread. I am absolutely delighted good for them they are now free
Sadly my sister is still fully conned from this group(cult) I hope she will be open minded enough to watch these videos and understand My sister is at Henderson cult.
Amen. I went in 2010. Manipulated me as a student and the world never ended in 2012 like we were told. People committed suicide, marriages were broken and than they tell brothers and sisters to basically leave you alone because your going to hell.
@@solobanditpg hey I'm also from NZ. Would love get in contact with you through email so we can discuss what your experience was like in that church. Would love to hear from you, cheers!
This is really good to hear! I'm a pastor in South Auckland, at the moment I'm trying to help someone leave this cult. I stumbled across this video while researching WMSCOG (a cult I'd never heard of before a few days ago). In South Auckland they call themselves "Zion Church". They seem almost identical to the Moonies, just a different competing Korean couple inventing a mother God and claiming to be Jesus.
My wife and I were approached by 2 young men inviting us (out of the blue) to a Bible study. I told them I lead the discipleship at our church, and commended them by trying to reach out to people (I was under the wrong impression). It threw me off when the mentioned the god mother, and Jesus' bride, and the new Jerusalem, and all that nonsense. When they started misquoting the Bible I snapped, and quoted Galatians and told them: you are preaching a different gospel, you are accursed, you will stop talking, and I will walk away. (Of course, the conversation was a bit longer.) Automatically I brought the issue to our church and encourage them to be ready to defend the Gospel when the time comes.
I was baptized in December in this church, it's a warm welcoming environment it seems for the most part. they have many locations and are growing especially in the USA. Since the first moment I heard of christ ansanghong I felt a pit of guilt in my stomach and confusion for considering him christ. You are so right. They claim following the new covenant will bring you salvation, they do scare and deter you from other Christian religions. Then they push you and pressure you to be baptized in the church I was pushed after just 1 sermon and Bible study which was surprising, they didn't mention christ ansanghong until the moment of my baptism then proceeded to tell me I will learn more about him later 2 months later I still have not been clarified on who exactly christ ansanghong is and I believe this is because they can feel my skepticism of their beliefs, so they want to convince me more of the truth before dropping the truth. So I had to search for it and I found your videos which confirmed ALL of my fears. God bless you. I was given a korean comic book from the church about the sabbath and keeping.
I had a pair stop by my house some years ago. I loved their bible discussion. I had become a born again Christian after leaving Mormonism. So I wasnt up for committing to baptism. I checked out their videos of their services and noped out of it. It was to similar to the mormon temple service.
Omw Mike! I was literally told that I was a fallen angel and then to make me believe it they would say but you can't remember your first steps as a baby I was like what.. Thanks for this I now know they are all teaching the same false gospel. All I wanted to do was a simple bible study with a friend and before I knew it I was in a service and preached all these things. Luckily my faith and walk with Christ is very strong and immediately I knew that this is all wrong
I get a team come up to me about once a month and sometimes multiple times a day trying to convince me of their mother god (little g, she isn't real). They run away when I engage because not a baby in the faith anymore but it's very concerning what they do. I will rewatch these so i can write down verses and hopefully come up with a better approach that doesn't involve "run away" as a response on their part
It does not matter what day, I agree with that, as when we read or preach the Gospel, we celebrate or praise the one who was birthed as one of us. God bless, and love you❤
I am shocked. After my Church was splitting up two years ago. A friend of mine attended a korean group called Shincheonji. They say that Lee Man-Hee the founder of this group is the new John the Baptist. My friend joined the group and is now caught up. She approched me as well. I was joining the group for several month. I thought it was a normal bible group and I trusted my friend because I knew her for quite some time. I asked the people what kind of Church they are and they always said to me: Be patient you will soon find out. We are just normal people like the apostels were. And my friend also convinced me that they are all normal and love the bibel and just are teaching from the bible and nothing else. But the method how they are approching people is the same as the World Mission Society Church of God". After months went in (they also have a bible study group which you have to attend) they told me that Lee Man Hee was the new john the baptist/Jesus and you will only get truly saved if you believe in everything he says like everyone had to believe Jesus to be saved. From this day on I and two other girls from the bibel group left the korean group. But sadly my friend doesn´t believe me that she under a false teaching and was crying, because in her mind I will go to hell. She still is in the group and I don´t know how to approach her. This group is now spreading all over the world and they have many followers. But I started to pray for her and her sister! I haven´t watched the video The False Teachings and Lies of Joo-Cheol Kim (Pastor of the Church of God) yet but i will. I just had to write this! So if anyone of you lives in Germany or anywhere else and you are getting asked to join a bibel study group. PLEASE do not join them! I took me weeks (with the help of my pastor and friends) to get my head in right biblical order! BUT I also have to say the through this experience I have seeking the Lord more than ever before in my life (although a grew up as a christian), because I had to find out for myself why I believe in Jesus. I am soo glad that through this time God was by my side and he has found me again!
I'm a part of a college church, and we have had several interactions with WMSCOG members. I'm super thankful for this work you've done on revealing the teachings of this cult, it's helped us better engage their proselytizers.
Pastor Mike, I know it's been a long time since you posted this video but I would like to thank you very much for opening my eyes about this church. They believe the world is ending before 2045 and that God the Mother will make the call when she wants to end the world. It sounds ridiculous of course but I just wanted you to know that. Thank you for all the work that you do. I'm currently working on an exposé using your videos to expose this church. God bless you.
Hey, Pastor Winger. I remember watching this series of videos when you first released them ages ago. I was thoroughly interested because this group was so obscure I'd never heard of it. It was almost like they didn't exist. Then just today, I was at the mall wife my wife and daughter and was approached by two guys in their 20's. Asked if I was interested in things of the spirit and God "Elohim". I immediately thought I was dealing with Latter Day Saints, so when they asked "Do you believe in God?" I said "Which god?" And he responded with "God Elohim, and the Son, and God the mother as Jesus spoke of." And immediately I was like "Oh my goodness this is that group Mike Winger talked about! I literally didn't believe these people existed." I wanted to evangelize to them, but it just wasn't the best encounter just due to circumstances (I didn't have time for a long form convo). As soon as I got home today I immediately came back to these videos. These teachings are bizarre.
@@michaelluvsyouu7720 We are living in the 21 century. Why must pray only in korean? That was her point. Red flag. I hope you have since left this man-made god and his goddess wife.
My mom was brought up in the church, she is a Anishinaabe Canadian (native) woman, what was the church's policies on adoption when she was adopted and brought up? (70s)
People listen but are they really....cause if they do they would hear mike winger lack of knowledge and misusing the gospel to fit the anti-christ way of teachings.
Camellias For Jesus its not $65. It’s only $2. Swear to God i didn’t lie. You must see yourself first before you believe this kind of fault finders that could even see their own faults. What a pitiful it’d be.
I haven't watched this video yet, but I did just watch a video from this pastor in fact it is someone entitled The Beauty of repentance. and most of what he said sounded pretty accurate except for is constant repeating of father and mother. That's what I noticed now I'm about to find out what this gentleman has to say in a brief way I don't know if I want to stay and watch an hour long video. However... I was interested to find out where this pastor was from and seeing his from South Korea and not the Philippines because it seems to me that in the Philippines they take to the same sort of incorporation of beliefs... now it just so happens that I seen your image, and you seem to be sticking up for this pastor... Which is fine oh, I was just wondering... Are you Filipino?
I've been pondering how do people just believe this type of stuff, I liken it the same way as people just believe certain political parties the same way as a cult as well. Thanks be to God that opens the eyes of the blind!
I actually came here after attending one of their seminars. They hit me with the Ahn Sahng Hong at the end and after saying I would research it the girl who invited me said there's alot of negativity out here but dont fall for it. They hadn't even gotten to the living mother God yet. Omg. But I can say this, they are incredibly nice, and open to conversation. I asked a million questions over the span of a couple hours and they answered everything without saying "wait and all will be revealed".
@@thutrangphan9155 yeah. Reminds me of that verse that says, “[2 Corinthians 11:13-15 (ESV):] 13 For such men are false apostles, deceitful workmen, disguising themselves as apostles of Christ. 14 And no wonder, for even Satan disguises himself as an angel of light. 15 So it is no surprise if his servants, also, disguise themselves as servants of righteousness. Their end will correspond to their deeds.” This is undoubtedly applicable to them
Exactly I was baptized in that name and I was shock after listening that name,and when I ask about the name they said ever thing will be explained to u but slowly..... Then why did they baptisted me before I know everything
I had a 1hr + conversation with a guy that came up to me at Barnes and Noble while I was looking for a Bible about God the mother, the sabbath, etc (everything that you’re talking about). I went through Galatians with him and different things, but just came to the conclusion: How does your theology fit with the thief on the cross? The guy tried to tell me that it was a one-off. I said “Well James states that the wisdom from above is without partiality. So is salvation by works, or not?” The guy couldn’t answer me and went back to random scriptures in the gospels about how we need to keep the law. I ended up pulling the Ray Comfort “if I was dying and had 3 seconds to live, could I be saved if I called on Jesus?” He avoided the question, went back to the scriptures he gave originally. I told him his exegesis was wrong and I wouldn’t be converted. We ended up shaking hands while I told him he’s preaching a false gospel, leading people astray, and that he needs to actually read the Bible for himself.
All I saw my sister do for their Passover was she was making these little communion bread things. She had one of her sisters there and was rude. Our brother came home from work and she was all cheery and greeted him. My sis plays the victim and I know she tells them we're terrible to her when it's the other way around. This cult is for her.
When you in Christ, truth just makes your heart melt, I am currently reasoning with this other brother who is part of that Church, and how wonderful that I am pointing out the same things you talking about, I love you brother Mike. How thankful we are to God that we in the truth. South Africa
45:39 these people visited me and apparently they do communion on the first month on the 14th day. She tried to tell me that the real day is January 14th, then I corrected her that saying that the first month in the Jewish calendar is April on our calendar and she was confused. I’m glad by the time I was approached I was already spending everyday in my Bible. We must stay in our Word, to show ourselves approved and to not perish due to lack of knowledge.
Denise Garcia really you are the lost sheep ,before you judge the church of god first come study with us so that you can understand clearly and some knowledge of God ,come and again I come to the church of god to study open your heart come find your shepherd
Brad Jefferson Come for a Bible Study and learn through the scriptures that Christ Ahnsahnghong and Heavenly Mother are testified throughout all 66 books of the Bible. Only Second Coming Christ can fully restore ALL of the yearly feast, God’s Commandments and Thoroughly break down parables which is code, for people like yourself and I to fully understand the Bible. Let’s not be like the Pharisees that “studied the scriptures” and then denied God in the flesh and had him crucified. To then them realizing they had murder God in the flesh. Revelation 12:17 Acts 16:6 Apostle Paul clearly tells us through scriptures that Second Coming Christ and our Heavenly Mother had to come from a country that the truth wasn’t preached to which is Korea. That’s just a few verses but their are so many more. In the book of Daniel their are multiple animals described in a way we would never see them on this physical Earth because they’re actually Kings in History that concord countries and it ultimately reveals who is Satan in this world. That’s why I insist in you coming to study the Bible so you can see for yourself the truth. Church of God is an international Church with about 3 million members. Don’t listen to this man in the video he is just leading his followers to plagues which is destruction. 2 Timothy 4: 3-4 Matthew 7:21-23 Revelation 22: 18-19
@@tatianaoliveras4246 Heavenly Mother of God? Really ? U evn call her the bride. But who's the bridegroom.. The Bible tell that's the bridegroom is Jesus. So she's the mother and the wife??!! Wake up! It a cult!! And Y can't we study our Bible ourselves? ( So that u could brainwash us)?!
A friend of mine who I thought was a Christian reached out to me and send me a quick TH-cam video and within the first 12 seconds of it something spiritually felt very wrong heavenly mother and I said oh no what is this thank you so much for this content I want to figure out how to reach her in a loving way where a wall doesn't get put up
They recruited me a year ago. We had a ceremony know as Passover and we drank some wine and ate some bread. Now thinking about it, they totally could’ve killed us Jim Jones style...
To be a Christian a follower of Christ according to the bible is it easy or hard? Its difficult. If your following God who doesn't want you to follow God? Satan. Following God you will face persecution God says that. But all the Christian's today for the most part are excepted. Even though they're all in different denominations that oppose each other and the bible itself. All the stories in ther bible show something very important. The correct church Gods true ppl are not popular with the world. They will be made fun of be told they're wrong etc. Don't let ppl say you were wrong or video like this discourage you. If this guy us pulling "many" ppl away from the truth through his videos. Think about who he must be spiritually. Not someone you wanna hang with or listen to.
@@jclever145 You are right to say that Satan doesn't want us to follow God. Well, God declared "Besides *Me* there is NO other god" Isaiah 44:6 Yet Wmscog doesn't want to follow God by insisting there is another god. So who is following Satan by contradicting God when God said there is NO other god? Wmscog, I am sorry to tell you. Be aware because deception is hard to see once you fall under its spell. Peace
@@econs999How many times did Father God say the is no other besides me? Twice said it in the old and new. The Jews brought that up when Christ came because they didn't understand. Christian's are repeating the same mistake the Jews did. The Christian's like the Jews didn't follow don't follow God correctly so how could that recognize him. There is action with the faith needed for all Christians. Don't believe in 2nd coming of Christ yet ok. Lets focus on his 1st coming Jesus Christ same God Father of all. He came to save us . From the 2nd death not the 1st. So why are we charged with a 2nd death? What bad thing have we done in this life that we are charged with death(referring to hell)a second time? Do you really think yout on this earth because Adam and Eve? What does Jesus say about all this? He says where we come from and who we are inside the bible. In the bible it even says why he has to comeback a 2nd time in our age with a new name. The age of the holy spirit. Very important scripture is Daniel's Prophecy which explains our time and who and where Satan is and how he practically fools ther whole world almost even the elect. The majority religion is Christianity which is also the most divided religion. Each church even some of the same denominations are divided. But there are mysteries in the bible . The church that can explain those mysteries soundly. Or just able to soundly make sence of the bible.(only God can do that and the ones directly taught from God) Should be worth having a listen to and to test the spirit.
@@jclever145 You say "How many times did Father God say there is no other [god] besides Me? Twice...." Assuming God said twice that there is no other god as you said so, therefore, why do you or Wmscog want to ignore the truth of what He said? Why should you or Wmscog *speak against* God and insist that there is another god? This is why you are right to say that Satan doesn't want to follow what God said. And do you want to follow his example? I hope not. Peace
I was just invited to a bible study by a well meaning korean kid who was really concerned about passover and the Saturday sabbath. I guess I know the situation now
Mate, from experiencing this "church" first hand here in the land down under. I completely agree with what you are saying and it is exactly their method of teaching the bible. I was baptized in their so called truth only a few weeks ago and attended a service just today. People please understand their lies by reading chapters and not just the specific verses they show you. You need the context of the chapters to understand the verses. Mike thank you so much from my family to you, for you have given us the words to defend our belief in Jesus. God Bless!
Yes not d verses they show bt the cmplete chapters we need to study n know d cntxt in them...n for this we need to give time for bible studies...dat is where we fail n cults n false teachers take advntge of our ds weakness n mnpulate our mind easily due to less knwldge n weak faith...n succeed in their motives
Thanks Mike for this video. I actually watched the other one about “Ahnsahnghong” because I hadn’t heard about this guy Joo-Cheol Kim (I think that’s how it’s spelled) since I was only a week in to WMSCOG. However, after I looked up Ahnsahnghong’s name (what they called second coming Christ and the new name of the Holy Spirit), went to a Wikipedia page, found claims of them being a cult, searched up “WMSCOG” on the internet and then found a Reddit page linking this video, I ended up going to your one about “Christ Ahnsahnghong”. Anyways long story short, I watched that video and it debunked everything I was learning. Thank God for leading me to your videos and thank you for exposing the truth… if I wasn’t led here, I might’ve stopped going to any church other than theirs, completely thrown away my relationship with Jesus for a false idol of Ahnsahnghong, and started believing in a works-based doctrine. I’m glad God intervened. Praise the Lord Jesus Christ!
The World Gospel Mission Association of the Church of God, which is defined as heresy by the Korean church, was established by Ahn Sang-hong in 1964, and since Ahn Sang-hong died in 1985, he has appointed his wife, Jang Gil-ja, as his mother, God, and Kim Joo-cheol, Jang Gil-ja's nephew, as the general chairman.
Thx Mike for taking the time to research the WMSCOG, which i currently belong to (2yrs.) Thank you for giving me hope to leave. Most members would not even watch your video, they encourage not to look at the internet when you first start going. They start prayer with Father and Mother but I would always pray Father in heaven or Lord Jesus for example. I just never felt in my heart like I wanted to pray to Mother or use the name AhnSahngHong. I first got recruited in Walmart by a girl in her 20s that just started working as a nurse, so I thought alright well she's educated and has several verses memorized. Anyway my story is too long but basically you are giving me the strength to find another church and not to feel the guilt that's put on you for not following their regulations. I was made to feel like I'm not putting God 1st bc I did not show up for 5am prayer week for one of the feasts. God Bless you for caring enough to make these videos to save people.
THEY APPROACHED ME AT WALMART TOO AND THEN I ASKED HIM AT THE END OF SERVICE THE GUY THAT INVITED ME AND HE WAS INVITED FROM WALMART ALSO!!! So glad I found this I just sent it he church after ignoring it for months and everything your saying is so true so I texted him about it when I got home and he didn’t answer none of it and said like 3 times saying come to Bible study and we can discuss and then texted saying are you going to come to Bible study?
Hey, I'm really wanting to preach at their church near me. It sounds like they don't have pastors? If you had the opportunity, for a quick short sermon, what would you press on? I really think the lady I spoke to, who led me to your video, she was totally deceived. Also, look how the Muslim religion started, someone completely blinded and thought an actual angel spoke to him.
Hey Mike, thank you for your teachings; the only thing that I have really wanted to comment on is about the Sabbath. Around minute 13, you speak about not being under the law and you don't need to keep the Sabbath. If you believe in the ten commandments you then need to understand that the Sabbath is apart of that. Hope this helps.
@@michaelluvsyouu7720. Jesus was a Jew so he naturally kept the Sabbath. 🤷🏿♀️ So the answer is quite obvious. 2. Jesus also didn't act like how the religious leaders expected. He did things that they claimed "broke" the rules and it made them angry enough to kill him. They were upset he wasn't doing what they wanted even though they added 600+ regulations to practicing the Sabbath according to historians. It was to the point that Jesus healing a man on the Sabbath was an offense to them. In Mark 3 it angered Jesus and grieved his heart at how hard hearted and legalistic the Pharisees were. Then Paul in Romans talks about these things (just as Mike noted). The truth is not determined by any particular church or denomination. It's determined by God and his Word. We do a disservice when we take things out of context to fit an agenda.
I pray for you to keep the faith as you profess and that i may take what you say to heart and not only be a hearer of the word but a doer to the GLORY OF CHRIST .. our SAVIOUR
I joined this WMSCOG in June 2018 through a lady who brainwashed me that there is a Heavenly Mother who's alive in South Korea and she is a mother of all, I wonder all these years I heard that there only a God existed with 3 personalities present in him called Trinity. This is a justified version in Bible, but where does the Mother seen in Bible, and I could not experience any presence of God in this Church. And my inner Spirit is unable to accept the truth of this Mother concept during my Saturday worship, I was forcibly driven away.
singam narayana good for you. I had to rescue my brother from this same church for that reason among others. I was in an all out debate about how they wrongfully used the scriptures.
13 This is why I speak to them in parables: “Though seeing, they do not see; though hearing, they do not hear or understand. 14 In them is fulfilled the prophecy of Isaiah: “‘You will be ever hearing but never understanding; you will be ever seeing but never perceiving. 15 For this people’s heart has become calloused; they hardly hear with their ears, and they have closed their eyes. Otherwise they might see with their eyes, hear with their ears, understand with their hearts and turn, and I would heal them.’[a]
@@carbon273 They are the words of Jesus Christ, Himself from Matthew 13:13-15. I would also add verse 16: "16 But blessed are your eyes because they see, and your ears because they hear."
Just had a member come to my school. I study at a Lasallian college and was confused when he said that he wanted to make a bible club. Dude got mad at me after I got him to change his story 3 times of him finding the religion. He than turned the corner and went to the next student
That's what they do go to college's to confuse the students because alot of them don't read the bible I'm glad you know that the mother God don't exist
Wow, you can be banned from doing livestreams for 3 months just because of an independent complaint? I know for a lot of people, this is their livelihood. That seems really harsh. How come the Catholics don't simply get any of the great multitide of anti-catholic videos on youtube banned? They are wealthy, it seems, at least as a whole.
Member of a Tennessean church of God. Btw huge difference between the Church of god and Tennessean Church of God. At new hope church of God in Christiansburg Virginia. We believe the trinity, we believe the healing power of the Spirit, and the God inspired study of medicine, and believe in the free will bestowed on us, as God partially limiting his power over us.
Man.. why does this pastor keep picking on korean people. Haha im just kidding.. I am Korean and i am embarassed of false teachers or Anti Christ from Korea. Pray for people who are fallen into these death pit. Keep preaching Pastor !
Thanks for your videos on this topic. I ran into a college age guy that is a follower of this group today and have now been researching what this false Gospel is so I can reach out to those in it with the truth of God's breathed out word. I like doing a simple side by side contrast of scripture vs. false teachings.
The Church of God interprets the Last Supper as the same day as the Passover and keeps it grand. However, according to the Bible, the Last Supper and the Passover are different days. The Last Supper was held on the day before the Passover, and this is recorded in detail in the Gospel of John. Yehoshua's actions were recorded in detail in the Gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John, and Matthew, Mark, and Luke recorded the Last Supper in just a few lines. However, John wrote in great detail in a vast amount of content. So, if you look closely at the Gospel of John, you will find that the Last Supper took place on the eve of the Passover. John wrote about the Last Supper: [John 13:1~2] It was before Passover, and Jesus knew that the time had come for him to leave this world and to return to the Father. He had always loved his followers in this world, and he loved them to the very end. Even before the evening meal started, the devil had made Judas, the son of Simon Iscariot, decide to betray Jesus. In the Gospel of John, we can confirm that the Last Supper was held before the Passover. During the Last Supper, Judas had a few words with Yehoshua and left to sell Jehoshua, but the remaining disciples misunderstood that Judas was going to buy things for the feast. [John 13:26~30] Jesus answered, "I will dip this piece of bread in the sauce and give it to the one I was talking about." Then Jesus dipped the bread and gave it to Judas, the son of Simon Iscariot. Right then Satan took control of Judas. Jesus said, "Judas, go quickly and do what you have to do." No one at the meal understood what Jesus meant. But because Judas was in charge of the money, some of them thought that Jesus had told him to buy something they needed for the festival. Others thought that Jesus had told him to give some money to the poor. Judas took the piece of bread and went out. It was already night. What does it mean that Judas went out to buy things for the feast? If that day was the Passover, what kind of holiday did the disciples think? If the Last Supper is the Passover, does it make sense to go out to buy things for the holiday? Also, the Jews dragged Yehoshua all night long. And many Jews followed to see Yehoshua. Then, when Yehoshua was dragged into Pilate's palace, many Jews were reluctant to enter Pilate's official residence. What was the reason? [John 18:28] Then they led Jesus from Caiaphas into the Praetorium, and it was early; and they themselves did not enter into the Praetorium so that they would not be defiled, but might eat the Passover. Why do you think the Jews who followed Yehoshua were reluctant to enter Pilate's official residence? They wanted to eat the Passover food without defiling their bodies. If the day that Yehoshua was arrested was the Passover, would the Jews have thought like that? Governor Pilate also made the following meaningful remarks before issuing the death sentence: [John 18:39~40] But you have a custom that I release someone for you at the Passover; do you wish then that I release for you the King of the Jews?" So they cried out again, saying, "Not this Man, but Barabbas." Now Barabbas was a robber. Pilate wanted to release Yehoshua. So he tried to release Jesus by using the special pardon that he gives every year at the Passover. But the Jews wanted Barabbas the robber, not Yehoshua, and Yehoshua did not receive pardon at the Passover. In the end, Yehoshua died on the cross on the Passover, and John wrote about that day as follows. [John 19:31~33] The next day would be both a Sabbath and the Passover. It was a special day for the Jewish people, and they did not want the bodies to stay on the crosses during that day. So they asked Pilate to break the men's legs and take their bodies down. The soldiers first broke the legs of the other two men who were nailed there. But when they came to Jesus, they saw that he was already dead, and they did not break his legs. Yehoshua died on the cross at 3:00 PM on January 14, the Jewish calendar, when the Passover lamb was sacrificed. And that night the Jews celebrated the feast of the Passover, which coincided with the Sabbath. Yehoshua died at 3 pm on Friday, so the Passover that was celebrated that evening overlapped the Sabbath. In this way, John recorded the details from the Last Supper to his death in great detail. If you look closely, you can see that Yehoshua died on the 14th day of January in the Jewish calendar, that is, at 3 pm on the Passover, when the Passover lamb was sacrificed. In addition to this, if you look at the Gospel of Matthew, you can confirm that Yehoshua died on the Passover. [Matthew 26:1~5] When Jesus had finished teaching, he told his disciples, "You know that two days from now will be Passover. That is when the Son of Man will be handed over to his enemies and nailed to a cross." At that time the chief priests and the nation's leaders were meeting at the home of Caiaphas the high priest. They planned how they could sneak around and have Jesus arrested and put to death. But they said, "We must not do it during Passover, because the people will riot." Yehoshua knew that he would be crucified on the Passover. That is why He said, “It is the Passover in two days, and on that day the Son of Man will be crucified.” The elders also feared the commotion and conspired to kill Joshua before the Passover began. Therefore, Yehoshua died on the Passover. How, then, is the history book of the church recorded? Church history books also record that Yehoshua died on the Passover. Therefore, the Last Supper was celebrated on the eve of Passover. In a book called Faith of the Fathers published by the Catholic Church, it was recorded that Yehoshua died on the Passover, and the Israeli Cultural Center also replied that Yehoshua died on the Passover. Not only the records of the Bible, but also the history books of the church and the answers of the Israeli Cultural Center testify that Yehoshua died on the Passover. However, the Church of God insists that the Passover and the Last Supper are the same day. And every year, on the evening of the Passover on January 14 of the Jewish calendar, bread and wine are shared and celebrated like the Last Supper. They are brainwashing believers by claiming that if they do not eat and drink the Passover bread and wine, they will not have eternal life. However, this is a misinterpretation of the Bible. The Last Supper is a different day from the Passover, and eating and drinking of bread and wine does not give you eternal life. The members of the Church of God are being deceived by their leaders, Gil-Ja Jang and Joo-Cheol Kim. You need to realize that you are being deceived and get out of there.
Mark 14:12 NIV On the first day of the Festival of Unleavened Bread, when it was customary to sacrifice the Passover lamb, Jesus’ disciples asked him, “Where do you want us to go and make preparations for you to eat the Passover?” It is clearly said the Passover.
Mike, thank you for the deep dive research you are doing. I heard your presentations on this "God the Mother" cult in the past and found it informative, but at that time it was "out there". Today I got a text message from one of these guys. Apparently, he stopped my teenage son at local Walmart and tried to recruit him. My kid gave him my number instead of his. Under other circumstances I would not be pleased but after I called this Church of God guy and talked to him, I called my son and said "Good move, kid". This stuff is dangerous for people who are not schooled. You are doing God's work and trying to keep us safe from the wolves. God bless you for that!
This is a fact: Anyone who believes in Mother God has failed to know the definition of "Jesus is God". Individual or groupwise. Jesus is God basically means whatever Jesus can do God can also. If Jesus is the truth like it states in John 14:6 God is as well. If Jesus performed miracles so did his father. This is what Jesus is God actually means you guys. Again anyone who believes in Mother God. God is the only being...........WHO WAS NEVER BORN. That's correct. God Almighty was here from the beginning. His son Jesus Christ however was. Mary gave birth to him although while she was pregnant an angel told her she would be birthing the greatest person in the world!!!!!!!!!!!!! The song goes in Above All "you were here before the world began" this line is talking about God.
Jesus Christ is The God above ALL gods and as such He can have any date He wishes and take that date over from anyone else; because He can. He is the Supreme and Only Real God. He's above everything and everyone. All Glory Praise and Honour to The Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Amen
I’m so grateful for your content about the false teachings of God the mother and sound Gods work with The intention of leading people closer to God and his true Word.!
Thank God I happened across your channel. I was approached by a member of this organization. We became good friends; thats when the topic of religion came up. I attended a few bible studies. Learned everything you mentioned, the sabbath, passover, god the mother etc. And of course AhnSunghung. They wanted me to get baptized. But I said I wanted to look into this more myself. After doing sooo much research I am turned off from the WMSCOG. But now I need to somehow get my friend, who I mentioned earlier, out of that organization. I beyond scary how they can change/dement people. Most of those who I met are exceptional people. But there is more to it than is shown. Any suggestions on my efforts are welcome. With Gods guidance, Im going to try.
The Church of God has been in litigation with victim organizations for seven years, from December 2013 to October 2020, and currently has approximately 150 civil and criminal cases pending. South Korean courts have ruled against the Church of God as follows. [Case No. 2015NA2032729] The Church of God repeatedly preached the end of the world from 1988 to 2012, and trillions of dollars in assets amassed by the Church of God have been linked to the end of the world. [Case No. 2016DO21129] The Church of God has conducted trainings that promote divorce and family breakdown, and several divorces have occurred. [Case No. 2015No542] A Church of God member tied a 4-year-old child's hands with a tie, taped his mouth shut, and assaulted his mother with a knife for over an hour in front of the child. [Case No. 2017NA2069268] The Church of God taught that unbelieving husbands and family members are demons and that earthly families are fake. It also taught that failure to tithe and evangelize is a curse from God.
Interesting, I was approached by two young girls earlier this evening and asked me if I believe in God. The first thing they brought up is the “mother of God” and then proceeded to spit scriptures. I said, well I believe in the only God Jesus Christ. They paused and I asked what church do you go to? one of the girls pulled out a book “Elohist” I googled in front of them and kept saying the only God I believe in is Jesus Christ. They said they’re Christians too but funny how they didn’t bring out the Bible. They couldn’t convince me so they left. Lol which was interesting. It’s very true they were trying to confuse me from what you said in the beginning of your video.
What they are sharing to you came from Jesus Christ Himself. It was God who made it possible for you to hear about the good news about God's truth.God the Father, Jesus Christ and His disciples testified in the Bible that we have God the Mother along with God the Father since the very beginning.
@@imdatguy0224 That is true, that is why we have to seek God, and worship only the true God. In the Bible, God the Mother is testified, She is God, Almighty and Very Holy. =D
What I couldn't understand about the WMSCOG members is that even after failed predictions and also the fact saying that Ahn will come back again but he didn't, they still continue to believe. God is perfect isn't it and keeps his promises isn't it? If that is so, the predictions should be as accurate as it gets.
The leader of the Church of God is Rev. Joo Chul Kim. He was born in Pohang in 1960, the youngest of two boys and two girls, and joined the Church of God with his mother, Mrs. Park. Around 1982, he was assigned as the pastor of the Seoul Church. At that time, there was an evangelist named Gilja Jang in the Seoul Church. Evangelist Jang introduced him to a woman who later turned out to be the cousin of Evangelist Jang's husband, Mr. Kim Jae-hoon. Their marriage brought Jang Gil-jah and Kim Joo-chul into close contact. However, the sudden death of Pastor Ahn Sang-hong in 1985 threw the Church of God into turmoil, and it was Kim Joo-cheol who stepped in to clean up the mess. Unlike the Busan members, Jang Gil-jah and Kim Ju-cheol did not attend Ahn's funeral in Busan. They were plotting to take control of the church. According to testimony from members of the Busan church, Kim withdrew 3 million won from a bank account kept at the church and has yet to return it. After the funeral, the Seoul church convened an emergency general assembly and proclaimed Jang Gil-jah as Ahn's bride using Ahn and Jang's wedding photo, but following backlash from Busan church members, Kim reportedly apologized to the congregation in a handwritten memorandum. Kim Joo-cheol had vowed not to idolize Jang Gil-jah, or even himself, but soon afterward he broke his promise by making Jang Gil-jah his god. According to the testimony of Pastor Ahn's wife, Ms. Hwang, Kim Joo-cheol demanded that Pastor Ahn's body be taken for himself throughout the night. However, when Mr. Hwang objected, saying that the bereaved family was alive and in their care, Kim Joo-cheol left in great disappointment. We don't know what Kim Joo-cheol intended to do with Ahn Sang-hong's body, but we can only marvel at his bizarre behavior. After splitting from the Busan Church, the newly founded Seoul Church renamed itself the Ahnsahnghong Witness Church of God and, in accordance with Ahnsahnghong's will, declared 1988 to be the end of the world, created and distributed leaflets, and went around Seoul calling out to citizens that 1988 was the end of the world. Kim preached the doomsday from 1988 to 2012, and whenever he failed, he tried to cover up his ugly crimes by changing the name of his church or filing lawsuits against those who criticized him. When hundreds of members of the Church of God in Daegu left the church and criticized the fraudulent practices of the Church of God and Kim Joo-cheol, the church mobilized its members to assault the defectors, an incident that was covered by MBC News in Daegu for three days. Kim also submitted a seminary degree certificate to the U.S. Embassy in order to obtain permanent residency in the U.S. According to the certificate, Kim entered Melchizedek Seminary in Jeon Eui-myeon, Chungcheongbuk-do, in 1980 and graduated in 1983. However, according to witnesses, there was no seminary at that time. According to the Articles of Incorporation of the Church of God, Kim Joo-cheol has the supreme authority to run the church's finances, publish doctrines, and discipline members, and Jang Gil-ja has no authority. According to the Articles of Incorporation, Kim Joo-cheol is the permanent president, which is an absolute power that exceeds the Pope in Catholicism. Therefore, the supreme authority of the Church of God is Kim Joo-cheol, not Jang Gil-ja. In addition to the end of the world, Kim teaches an evil doctrine that destroys the homes of his followers. He taught that earthly families were fake, that non-believers were demons, and that they were cursed if they did not tithe and evangelize, all of which made him a trillion-dollar fortune in Korean money. It also sued and lost lawsuits against its critics and was branded a cult. The Church of God is run by Kim Joo-cheol, and Jang Gil-jah is just an idol that Kim Joo-cheol built. Just as the idol itself is not powerful, but the person who set it up is powerful, so Kim Joo-cheol, who set up the idol of Jang Gil-jah, is the real owner of the Church of God. However, Church of God members are unaware of this fact.
There is a Korean in New Jersey named Daniel Lee who called my friend ‘Monkey’ over & over in front of other cult members. Thank the Lord my friend escaped this cult. This same friend went to Korea twice. That divorced woman who claims to be god slutted after him. She couldn’t tell him his name because she’s NOT god. She grabbed his hand as quickly as she spotted him coming off the plane from America and announced how handsome she thought he was.
2007 was baptized, 6 months later met heavenly mother. 2008, was appointed even though I didn't choose to go, same as the previous year. I was 22, young working adult. I left around 2018.. Wasted my life..
The Sabbath commandment is apart of the 10 commandments moral laws. We don't follow the ceremonial laws along with others laws Moses wrote. Jesus clearly says if you love me then keep my commandments. Is it a salvation issue? No, but after being saved, then turn around and say I don't love you because I'm not going to keep your commandments. It's it a salvation issue? No, but if the Holy Spirit isn't pushing you to do it, then maybe there's a problem.
I'm really thankful for this video. To know the truth. I'm a part of the church, now i want to ask how to quit smoothly? without any troubles? Cause when i said I'm quitting of course they will convince me, but no matter what they say i want to quit already. and i don't want it to become troublesome for me and to them too.
@@kevindrake714 They had this idea that because 'we are sinners', being good and serving others doesn't wash our sins away. I wonder if they ever read Matthew 25.
Thanks for these videos Mike. I’m an apologist trying to prepare as I have heard this group has hit my area. Your videos have been an asset and a tremendous help in preparing especially given how little information is out there on this group.
Going back to this serie as I am living in Korea so of course, I'll have to meet them all here. The JW are also quite active. Last week they stopped me and lucky them I was alone and I didn't have my friend to stop me from talking to them. And they knew some level of English. It's sad because they genuinely look like sweeet girls. Both were raised there so I can't imagine the level of indoctrination they had gone through. I sent her the first video you did on the cult and I also shared with them some info. I probably will stop talking with them at some point but I pray that the Lord will open their eyes and that they will see the heresies of those teachings and that they will be raised to go against this cult!! Thank you so much for these precious videos!!
I literally just had someone try to recruit me! She sent me a flyer w/ their website on it. Went to the website and immediately remembered a doc talking about this being a cult!!! Searched more and found your video! This is nuts!!
“$65 for this little piece of heresy” 😂👏
He nailed it
No.......
You are being deceived by cog teaching
🤣💀🪦
As many trash books mike has to waste his money on for his research, at least he should never have to buy toilet paper.
hi, currently i am leaving in korea. just now 3 women knock to my house and introduce me to their god the mother. I said that i am a christian and i only believe in one God. then they gave the rev. 22:17, telling me that the bride mention there was god the mother. they threw me lot of verses to support their claim. i have lot things to say to them but i cant xpress it well in korean. after our goodbyes i imediately search on how to rebuke those who believes in their beliefs. and my search lead me here.
Just sit with your nose in your hands in faith,
Biblical rhetoric is obvious, but don't try to understand it yourself.
@@tanisangma1867 whats your point?
@@thewhisper417 she was looking for HOW to to refute the claims the women were making regarding bible verses and "god the mother". Her internet search lead her to Mike Wingers TH-cam page to find some answers.
I'm glad you found this series. This cult will be judged by God and exposed one day
@dil subba Try considering the Facts and test it with Scripture. The mother god concept was refuted by ann-sang-hong itself, and he was the founder for his beliefs. By this itself you know everything related to this cult is a false doctrine and a false teaching. Don't believe me? Research yourself, you'll know the Truth. Remember, the Jesus Christ is the true Christ, yesterday, now and forever 🙏🏻
As a non Christian beware of what they say. I went into it being open minded and just wanting to learn about their doctrine and not to criticize it. This perspective did not alow me to see the cherry picking of verses that they always did and subsequently lead me to believe what they were saying. I never had an interest in refuting and never did till a few weeks ago. It's ok to learn but beware that they do make a very compelling narrative even for non Christians. For university students, if you want to find a Christian community at your school these people are not the way. They may be nice and fun people but they are their to recruit you and bring you into THEIR church and not to help you become a Christian. If you want friends, ask some people for help with an assignment in a class you lile and try to start a study group. If you want Christian friends most churches will have college student groups and would love to have you visit.
These people have my younger sister so confused & it's absolutely infuriating to think that she could be led astray like this. Like you said it's so very important to be knowledable in the word which she wasn't so it was easy for them to take things & twist them to their ideology & mislead her. The enemy is busy but no doubt God will have the last say & I already know the truth will be revealed to her in Jesus name. Going to continue arming myself with biblical truth & continuing to ask God for wisdom & patience on the matter. That you brother Mike for the information given about this cult of false prophets. May God continue to bless you!
@@gorillasinthemisttv Goodluck, I have a Bible study planned with my good friend who is locked in with The church of god. I accepted their Bible study so that I may refute them and hopefully open his eyes. I will be praying 🙏 and leave it all to Jesus
@psyintist2323 they actually answered my questions better then any other church 😅 I'm so confused
Thank you. Honestly, thank you. Ive been researching constantly because something didnt sit right while going to the church of God. Ive looked into more as well and im about to go to my bible study leader with these findings. Pray for me they will be understanding
What happened
This is actually a very big church in Austin/San Antonio Texas and the surrounding areas. I was invited to do “Bible study” as well. I’ve been doing them for about a month until they introduced a “second coming christ” ahn sahng-hong and immediately it raised red flags for me. They gave no scripture other than the word “east” or the teaching of Passover to support this. The study ended with none of my questions answered and her wanting me to get baptized immediately, whenever I was free next. We are supposed to go over more our next Bible study in 2 days, but I won’t be returning. I feel sorry for the girl teaching me, for she’s just a young woman herself, probably a college age. I don’t want to completely shut her out, but I don’t know how to address my concerns about her church with her.
The Church of God interprets the Last Supper as the same day as the Passover and keeps it grand. However, according to the Bible, the Last Supper and the Passover are different days. The Last Supper was held on the day before the Passover, and this is recorded in detail in the Gospel of John. Yehoshua's actions were recorded in detail in the Gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John, and Matthew, Mark, and Luke recorded the Last Supper in just a few lines. However, John wrote in great detail in a vast amount of content. So, if you look closely at the Gospel of John, you will find that the Last Supper took place on the eve of the Passover. John wrote about the Last Supper:
[John 13:1~2] It was before Passover, and Jesus knew that the time had come for him to leave this world and to return to the Father. He had always loved his followers in this world, and he loved them to the very end. Even before the evening meal started, the devil had made Judas, the son of Simon Iscariot, decide to betray Jesus.
In the Gospel of John, we can confirm that the Last Supper was held before the Passover. During the Last Supper, Judas had a few words with Yehoshua and left to sell Jehoshua, but the remaining disciples misunderstood that Judas was going to buy things for the feast.
[John 13:26~30] Jesus answered, "I will dip this piece of bread in the sauce and give it to the one I was talking about." Then Jesus dipped the bread and gave it to Judas, the son of Simon Iscariot. Right then Satan took control of Judas. Jesus said, "Judas, go quickly and do what you have to do." No one at the meal understood what Jesus meant. But because Judas was in charge of the money, some of them thought that Jesus had told him to buy something they needed for the festival. Others thought that Jesus had told him to give some money to the poor. Judas took the piece of bread and went out. It was already night.
What does it mean that Judas went out to buy things for the feast? If that day was the Passover, what kind of holiday did the disciples think? If the Last Supper is the Passover, does it make sense to go out to buy things for the holiday? Also, the Jews dragged Yehoshua all night long. And many Jews followed to see Yehoshua. Then, when Yehoshua was dragged into Pilate's palace, many Jews were reluctant to enter Pilate's official residence. What was the reason?
[John 18:28] Then they led Jesus from Caiaphas into the Praetorium, and it was early; and they themselves did not enter into the Praetorium so that they would not be defiled, but might eat the Passover.
Why do you think the Jews who followed Yehoshua were reluctant to enter Pilate's official residence? They wanted to eat the Passover food without defiling their bodies. If the day that Yehoshua was arrested was the Passover, would the Jews have thought like that? Governor Pilate also made the following meaningful remarks before issuing the death sentence:
[John 18:39~40] But you have a custom that I release someone for you at the Passover; do you wish then that I release for you the King of the Jews?" So they cried out again, saying, "Not this Man, but Barabbas." Now Barabbas was a robber.
Pilate wanted to release Yehoshua. So he tried to release Jesus by using the special pardon that he gives every year at the Passover. But the Jews wanted Barabbas the robber, not Yehoshua, and Yehoshua did not receive pardon at the Passover. In the end, Yehoshua died on the cross on the Passover, and John wrote about that day as follows.
[John 19:31~33] The next day would be both a Sabbath and the Passover. It was a special day for the Jewish people, and they did not want the bodies to stay on the crosses during that day. So they asked Pilate to break the men's legs and take their bodies down. The soldiers first broke the legs of the other two men who were nailed there. But when they came to Jesus, they saw that he was already dead, and they did not break his legs.
Yehoshua died on the cross at 3:00 PM on January 14, the Jewish calendar, when the Passover lamb was sacrificed. And that night the Jews celebrated the feast of the Passover, which coincided with the Sabbath. Yehoshua died at 3 pm on Friday, so the Passover that was celebrated that evening overlapped the Sabbath. In this way, John recorded the details from the Last Supper to his death in great detail. If you look closely, you can see that Yehoshua died on the 14th day of January in the Jewish calendar, that is, at 3 pm on the Passover, when the Passover lamb was sacrificed. In addition to this, if you look at the Gospel of Matthew, you can confirm that Yehoshua died on the Passover.
[Matthew 26:1~5] When Jesus had finished teaching, he told his disciples, "You know that two days from now will be Passover. That is when the Son of Man will be handed over to his enemies and nailed to a cross." At that time the chief priests and the nation's leaders were meeting at the home of Caiaphas the high priest. They planned how they could sneak around and have Jesus arrested and put to death. But they said, "We must not do it during Passover, because the people will riot."
Yehoshua knew that he would be crucified on the Passover. That is why He said, “It is the Passover in two days, and on that day the Son of Man will be crucified.” The elders also feared the commotion and conspired to kill Joshua before the Passover began. Therefore, Yehoshua died on the Passover. How, then, is the history book of the church recorded? Church history books also record that Yehoshua died on the Passover. Therefore, the Last Supper was celebrated on the eve of Passover.
In a book called Faith of the Fathers published by the Catholic Church, it was recorded that Yehoshua died on the Passover, and the Israeli Cultural Center also replied that Yehoshua died on the Passover.
Not only the records of the Bible, but also the history books of the church and the answers of the Israeli Cultural Center testify that Yehoshua died on the Passover. However, the Church of God insists that the Passover and the Last Supper are the same day. And every year, on the evening of the Passover on January 14 of the Jewish calendar, bread and wine are shared and celebrated like the Last Supper. They are brainwashing believers by claiming that if they do not eat and drink the Passover bread and wine, they will not have eternal life. However, this is a misinterpretation of the Bible. The Last Supper is a different day from the Passover, and eating and drinking of bread and wine does not give you eternal life.
The members of the Church of God are being deceived by their leaders, Gil-Ja Jang and Joo-Cheol Kim. You need to realize that you are being deceived and get out of there.
The World Evangelical Mission Association of the Church of God preached the doctrine that deified people and those who were brainwashed by it are creating another victim in the name of the gospel.
That's creepy, Austin Texas? That is so close to where I live, I live in Houston!
Don't focus on how so much as just expressing your concerns and pray for the holy Spirit to do the rest
My son and daughter in law recently visited me in FL. They are stationed in the Navy at Port Huaneme, CA and she immediately started telling me about the "Church of God" that she was going to (my son went with her when he wasn'tworking). She started telling me they were pressuring her to be baptized so she could participate in "passover." I asked her what their beliefs on "Who" Jesus is and she couldn't tell me! I was so concerned! Praise the Lord she went back and started questioning and has now realized it is a CULT! Thank you Mike and Sarah for your wonderful ministry
I've found that all cults use some crazy scripture distorting eisigesis while blatantly ignoring true exegesis of God's word.
They emphasised one verse without understanding the context n then ignored another verse that is contradicting to the 1st verse. esp .. Pentecostal cult doctrine! 😅
Thank you this is so helpful!! I’m studying with them once a week right now and I am fully aware they are trying to convert me. However, I’m trying to play the uno reverse card because I know who Jesus is and it’s not Ahn Sahng Hong

Wow. Great rebuttal from the wmscog. You have a living god on earth and this is the best rebuttal wmscog has to offer.
Awesome!!
I was approached by two ladies at my university back in 2016 (my freshman year). I still identified as a Roman Catholic back then but I had no knowledge of Scripture whatsoever. They made me read Revelation 21:2 out loud and gave me points/arguments on why God is a mother instead of a father. They mentioned something about the bride and how New Jerusalem will float down from heaven. After they made me read a couple verses from their Bibles and contorting it into making God a female, they asked for my information and if I would be willing to join a Bible study with them. I think I gave them a fake number because they seemed very pushy (which I thought was more offensive than twisting God's Word at the time). Now I'm a Christ-follower who is reading and trying to understand Biblical context and I *now* know that they completely butchered and misinterpreted everything they presented to me.
Multiple friends of mine were also approached during that semester, but I was the only one who remembered what they actually argued in the Bible as being support for their so-called "doctrine."
Thank you for humbly, lovingly, and courageously defending God's Word!
Our sabbath rest is in Jesus
Wrong...Christ was showing his apostles who believed in Christ and CHRIST was showing the saducees and pharisees that he was GOD in the flesh..the MESSIAH...

The other day my boyfriend and I were tricked into going to a “bible study” by a coworker of mine and it ended up being exactly what you’ve been talking about in your videos. We were taken into a separate room to do a “bible study” and they tried convincing us about their Christ Ahnsahnghong and the rest of their beliefs. My boyfriend and I are Christians and we study the word of God and knew everything they were saying was rooted in complete blasphemy. We were having a back and forth with them on their beliefs and how it doesn’t add up to the scripture they were trying to give us as evidence and at one point I had said, “okay, if "Christ AhnSahnHong” is really the second coming of Jesus Christ then explain to me how? What prophecies did he fulfill? what exactly has he done to make you guys believe that he is the son of God?” They said “Are you familiar with the parable of the Fig Tree?” and I said “yes.” then they said “ well because you don’t believe in what we’re saying when it comes to the sabbath and Christmas and everything else we cannot teach you what you’re asking because you don’t believe.” So obvi I know this is just crazy but I was wondering if you could help me figure out what they would’ve tried to use as a defense with the parable of the fig tree? Thanks for the help and your knowledge and for speaking truth?
I think their following response WAS their explanation of the parable. Assuming they mean the time that Jesus wilted the tree, they may have been saying that since you aren’t “bearing fruit” of accepting their beliefs, then they’ll just leave you to “wither,” as if you’re totally missing out! It just sounds like a veiled insult: “You’re too ignorant so you’re like the fig tree Jesus cursed.” At least, that’s how I’m reading it.
Never worry when a demon calls you stupid. Worry about Jesus thinking you're stupid. They did you a favour by not carrying on with their nonsense and lies. They soon realised you were smart and knew the True Bible and Scripture. 👍
Hey Friend and sister in Christ 🙏🏼☺️
Check this out :
You’ve probably heard the expression “face the music.” But you might not know that it is believed to have originated in Japan. According to the story, the imperial orchestra once humored a man who couldn’t play a note. Because of his wealth and great influence, the man demanded that a seat be given to him in the group because he wanted to “perform” before the emperor. The conductor agreed to let him sit in the second row of the orchestra and hold a flute, even though the man couldn’t read a dot of music. As a concert would begin, he’d simply raise his instrument, pucker his lips, and move his fingers. He went through all the motions of playing, but never made a sound. This deception continued for two years.
However, a new conductor took over when the old one parted ways. He told the orchestra members that he wanted to audition each player personally. One by one, they performed in his presence. Then came the phony flutist’s turn. He was frantic with worry, so he pretended to be sick. However, a doctor ordered to examine him declared that he was perfectly well. The new conductor insisted that the man appear and demonstrate his skill. Shamefacedly, the phony had to confess that he was a fake. He wanted the prestige of being part of the orchestra, but since he never took the time to learn his instrument, he was unable to “face the music.”
The word “hypocrite” comes from the Greek word hupokrites. It is defined as “the practice of professing beliefs, feelings, or virtues that one does not hold or possess” or “an actor under an assumed character.”
Someone said, “The number one cause of atheism is Christians. Those who proclaim God with their mouths and deny Him with their lifestyles are what an unbelieving world finds simply unbelievable.”1 And Oswald Chambers said, “The world is glad of an excuse not to listen to the gospel message, and the inconsistencies of Christians is the excuse.”
Manmade Cover-up
The Lord hates hypocrisy. Jesus made this painfully clear in His sermon on the mount. He told the people, “Take heed that ye do not your alms [charitable deeds] before men, to be seen of them: otherwise ye have no reward of your Father which is in heaven. Therefore when thou doest thine alms, do not sound a trumpet before thee, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, that they may have glory of men” (Matthew 6:1, 2, emphasis added).
He continued, “And when thou prayest, thou shalt not be as the hypocrites are: for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and in the corners of the streets, that they may be seen of men. ... Moreover when ye fast, be not, as the hypocrites, of a sad countenance: for they disfigure their faces, that they may appear unto men to fast” (vs. 5, 16, emphasis added).
The Pharisees were experts in the art of faking true religion. They fasted, prayed, and gave to be “seen of men.”
Now I said that the Lord hates hypocrisy, and it’s true. But thank God that He loves the hypocrites, or we would all be in trouble! Arthur R. Adams said, “Don’t stay away from church because there are so many hypocrites. There’s always room for one more.”
The famous actor Robert Redford was walking through a hotel lobby one day, and a fan followed him to the elevator. “Are you the real Robert Redford?” she asked with great excitement. As the doors of the elevator closed, he replied, “Only when I am alone!”
If truly honest, we would all admit that at times we manufacture feelings and attitudes that are less than genuine - a “public relations” image. In fact, we can see that from the very beginning of this world’s history, hypocrisy has been man’s feeble way of cloaking sin.
The Bible records: “When the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to make one wise, she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave also unto her husband with her; and he did eat. And the eyes of them both were opened, and they knew that they were naked; and they sewed fig leaves together, and made themselves aprons” (Genesis 3:6, 7).
Keep in mind that before sin, Adam and Eve were not streaking around the garden of Eden in their birthday tuxedos. In the garden, man had the privilege of talking with God face to face. Thus he was clothed with an aura of light - the same type of light that shone from Moses’ face after he spent time in the presence of God (Exodus 34:29-35). But after Adam and Eve sinned, the light went out and they sensed their nakedness.
Notice that their first reaction to sin was to manufacture a cover-up. When they lost their garments of light as a result of disobedience, Adam and Eve used fig leaves to cover their shame. Before sin, they had never seen anything die, so when they plucked the fig leaves from the tree, I’m sure they expected longer-lasting results. When I picked some fig leaves, I was amazed how quickly they became limp and shriveled. In addition, I found their pungent odor offensive. How very sad that our first parents traded living robes of light for limp, stinky leaves that soon withered and died.
When God spoke to Adam and Eve, He explained that to cover their sin, something besides fig leaves would have to die. At this point, God established the sacrificial system. “Unto Adam also and to his wife did the LORD God make coats of skins, and clothed them” (Genesis 3:21). Adam and Eve made skimpy belts of fig leaves, but God gave them robes of skin, thus symbolizing that Jesus would have to die to cover the sin and nakedness of the lost.
When we sin, one of two things will happen. We either start looking for fig leaves to make our own flimsy cover-up, or we look to Jesus for His robe of righteousness
Merely Ornamental
Throughout the Bible, fig leaves are a symbol for man-made religion and false righteousness. The fig tree is a symbol of God’s people.
Please read the following passage carefully: “He spake also this parable; A certain man had a fig tree planted in his vineyard; and he came and sought fruit thereon, and found none. Then said he unto the dresser of his vineyard, Behold, these three years I come seeking fruit on this fig tree, and find none: cut it down; why cumbereth it the ground? And he answering said unto him, Lord, let it alone this year also, till I shall dig about it, and dung it: And if it bear fruit, well: and if not, then after that thou shalt cut it down” (Luke 13:6-9).
Year after year, the owner of the vineyard was disappointed because all he found on his fig tree was leaves. It bore no fruit. It looked like a healthy tree, but he did not plant it for mere ornamental beauty. He wanted fruit.
I believe there also may be a time prophecy hidden in this parable. The vineyard mentioned in verse 6 is the land of Israel (Isaiah 5:1-7; Jeremiah 12:10; Psalm 80:8-16), in which the vine and fig tree - both symbols of Israel and Judah - were planted. The parable of the fig tree gives a total of four years from the time of planting to the final chance for the tree to bear fruit. Now a year in the Bible is 360 days, because the Jews operated on a lunar calendar. Four years would be a total of 1,440 days. A day in prophecy equals a year (Numbers 14:34; Ezekiel 4:6).
According to many chronologists, Joshua crossed over the Jordan and took possession of the Promised Land at approximately 1407 BC. If you extend 1,440 years from that point in time (keeping in mind that there is no zero year), you come to the year AD 34. This important date in history is the same ending point for the 490-year prophecy given in Daniel 9:24. The angel says, “Seventy weeks are determined upon thy people and upon thy holy city,” and in fact the word “determined” is better translated as “cut off.” The parable of the fig tree said, “Then after that thou shalt cut it down” (Luke 13:9, emphasis added). It was in AD 34 that the Jews forfeited their place as God’s covenant people. Then in AD 70, both Jerusalem and the temple were completely destroyed
"On the first day of the week, when we were gathered together to break bread, Paul talked with them, intending to depart on the next day, and he prolonged his speech until midnight." (Acts 20:7)
Yeah so what does this verse mean to you? Weekly su day worship? Notice how in the verses above it mentions that this first day of the week takes place after the feast of unleavened bread. In the old testament time the first day of the week after unleavened bread is the feast of first fruit which is resurrection day in the new testament since jesus rose on the first day of the week after the 15th day of the 1st month(unleavened bread). The reason Paul gathered to break bread waa because on the resurrection day jesus broke bread with the 2 disciples who were walking in Luke 24. So they kept that as a regulation each year from jesus example it has nothing to do with weekly Sunday worship. Even in old testament there were 2 feast days that always land on Sunday, firstfruits and feast if weeks (pentacost) . But Paul kept the what day every week as the worship day? Acts 17:2 Acts 18:4. He kept the 7th day sabbath. Your understanding of that verse is from lack of knowledge of the feasts of God....
@@klausschwabnwo8284 yeah and sabbath is so important it determines your salvation .. heck no, all of you are condemned to eternal suffering too since the day you are keeping now ISNT the same weekday as the one in the roman calendar during roman times, or the hebrew calendar during moses time.
OOOoo NO! Then does it mean that Abraham and Job and noel was not saved as well since there was no mention of sabbath .. not one word. O No. For such an important tool of salvation to be absent, did God purposely abandoned them? And most of all ... o no, you and your cult will end up in darkness with much weeping and gnashing of teeth, because you are condemned by your own words!!!! O no.
And BTW if your cult leader try to pass this off as inconsequential, DONT let them misleading you. It is such an essential part of salvation , it must be followed strictly!!! Better resurrect the OLD hebrew calendar and trace back the historical sabbath date. But O no!!! That calendar had to be adjusted around every 200 years due to its inaccuracy. And totally out of sync with our moden gregorian calendar!!!
O Woe is you.
Idiocy needs to know some limit.
@@Jinkypigs "idiocy needs to know some limit" 😆 you have just expanded that limit with whatever nonsense you just spewed forth.. please educate yourself and stop believing everything the tv says. The Bible says obey the Gospel not just to believe it, in fact if you believe, you would obey it. But I doubt you know any of the examples Jesus taught us to keep. Learn some proper history or you just make yourself sound like how you you say, idiocy...
Hi Mike,
I’m a new viewer and subscriber. I’ve literally been binge watching- so much useful, thoughtful & truthful information. Thank you for doing so much research and bringing us the biblical truths of relevant topics. I’m anxious to watch more and see what you have coming. I believe finding these videos was a blessing. God Bless you.
Hi Sally, what is what he is saying isn't true not just about this particular church but almost everything
What if what he was saying is not true maybe is a better way to put it.
Falynn S. Yeah mike is awesome
@@robertcromwell7571 what if what he said is not true? Really.? Trying to make pastor Mike out to be a liar by such vague accusation? That is NOT how it works.
WHICH part of what Mike said is NOT true? Show us, else you are the one lying
a loved one of mine has become involved with the WMSCOG and recites every belief you just mentioned. Is there a source to find ex-members that I can reach out to? I am very concerned how entrenched he is in this group. He gets angry when we ask questions he can't answer.
I know and am greatly aware of how important this topic is but, hearing Mike say, "Sabado" got him a thumbs up.
So many Koreans lose their family members to cults, and it breaks my heart :(
It's not just the church of God, also there are many deceiving cults in Korea...
thank you for the information tho... Korea needs more of God's servants who can teach biblically like you.
Not only wms's is here in the United States but 10 others groups as well.
What was true that he taught you?
Acts 24:5 didn't they claim paul to be part of what again you slandering the truth becareful you act the same as the jews during that time.
These videos help equipt college students like me to engage them. thank you Mike
Im from north east India and they approach to us in exact same way the way u said... i almost end up there thnkq so much for sharing
Abu Kera Amen. I went in 2010. Manipulated me as a student and the world never ended in 2012 like we were told. People committed suicide, marriages were broken and than they tell brothers and sisters to basically leave you alone because your going to hell.
@@AngelAngela suicide ??? Is this for real ????
Me too .I was shocked when they told me about heavenly mother god🤦...they twist the bible verse to get u confuse..
They strongly encouraged me when I was ready to go and preach that we only need to look for ppl that look like they have themself tiger ! Dress nice ! And you can’t even be approached if you’re ugly in their eyes and especially anyone that’s homeless or have any type of abnormalities
In a sense, that's not entirely a bad thing. No one should worship a false Idol as there is no Mother God, only father God. They may be Christian and only willing to go to The Father, not a fictional mother.
That sounds strange tell me more about them.
I was told to preach to normal people. No beggars, mental disabilities as they need to be gospel workers who are the pillars of Zion. Normal people
Dude this is literally my experience yesterday!. These guys invited me for a bible study which they said will last for only 20 minutes but lasted for 2 hours!. Then they tried to tell me about their teachings and interpretations. Fortunately, I am not ignorant of the bible. In the end, they had me baptised right away. And let me tell you they will use scare tactics and cherry picked interpretations of the bible. What raised the red flag for me was that they said that Jesus has already returned as a Korean dude and that God had a wife. Definately not coming back for any of their bible studies.
After a debate with one of their cultists I just didn’t go to their Bible study glad I didn’t
It's so crazy, I had an encounter with them too a few years ago and I'm just now finding these videos that explain all the things they actually believe. I had no clue what the group was at the time and at first it didn't raise red flags for me that they were a cult. I thought they were just a different denomination within Christianity. A girl approached me when I was out somewhere sitting at a table outside on a nice day. Actually I happened to be reading my Bible and literally prayed that if God wanted me to witness to someone, that they'd see me reading the Bible and come ask me a question about it. Not long after I prayed that this girl came up. She started talking to me about end times and how Revelation predicted World War 2 and that there would be another great war. At first I thought she was maybe from a church that put over-epmhasis on end times. She asked me if I wanted to meet for a Bible study, and though I was a little skeptical, I said yes. I thought "Sure, why not have a Bible study with a fellow Christian and make a new friend?" It was during this Bible study that I started realizing their beliefs were very off. They told me that we all lived in Heaven before coming to earth, and that Adam and Eve's sin actually happened in Heaven. After that God casted us down to earth and wiped our memories. I immediately thought it sounded like Mormonism. I was so confused on who this group was. They said a lot of stuff about passover and that any church who doesn't observe it correctly are not true Christians. Thankfully I had verses prepared because the girl talked to me about passover at our first meeting, and I thought what she was saying was unbiblical, so I got some verses ahead of time that I was able to explain to them. They also told me you needed baptism for salvation. I will also mention she brought another, older girl for the Bible study, so I was debating with both of them. We ended up meeting a third time, me and the same two people. During that meeting all the Sabbath stuff was brought up and how if you go to church on Sunday you're worshipping the devil. At one point one of the girls said she had to leave early. And then a completely different girl randomly came up and sat down with us and was like "Hey, watchya guys talking about?" She explained that she was a part of their church and worked nearby, so she just happened to run into us. Which I don't believe, I think it was planned. So they were being deceitful right off the bat. So then I had a conversation with that girl too. I think at that point they realized I was not being convinced by them and was actually trying to convince them that their beliefs were unbiblical. So they stopped contacting me after that. I did text the girl I first met and invited her to come to my Christian group on campus. She said no, but I think God put her in my path for a reason, and I planted seeds of truth. They were all very sweet girls who seemed to genuinely believe the things they were saying. I pray they would come to the true knowledge of Christ. I have been hearing more and more about this group lately and multiple people I know having encounters with them. My sister also encountered these same girls I talked to who pretended to bump into her at Walmart. My Christian friends were saying it's actually called God the Mother and it was started in Korea. I was confused because they didn't say any of that stuff to me. Turns out they just didn't reveal that up front. If any group is being secretive about their beliefs and keeping in the dark until they decide to reveal it, that's definitely a red flag.
Are you guys making thus stuff up not ones have they done anything like this to me 😅😅😅
Thank you so much for making this video! High control groups are growing so much, and a lot of us are not prepared until we encounter it in our lives or the people around us.
Would love to see you cover another end times korean group Shinchoenji that's been growing in the US. Someone in my church got sucked in, and I know a few people who've been approached and they seem a lot more subtle than wmscog.
I was hoping you would talk about this. I am glad I found this vid. These people are everywhere around my university here in Korea where I teach English . I had one student ask me to help her with her English speech. It was actually her English version of the propaganda that they share. She had the English down, but she wanted to tell me their “gospel” and asked me what I thought. Anyway I’m glad you are talking about this, sir.
Also, they care about words like “Sabbath,” and “Passover,” telling me “Communion” isn’t in the Bible. I’m wondering if they know the Bible wasn’t written in English(or Korean), so they should use the Greek words, not English words.
They came to my house and said they were non denominational Christians so me and my wife invited them in. After we heard then share a false message we rebuked them and kicked them out of our home.
Well done you and your wife. The audacity of coming into your home and still plying you with lies. 😀
Well that wasn’t wise at all. It should have been your ministry to reach them. I’ve been in contact with them for over a year instead of rebuking them I continue to get together and share what the truth is. We debate and yes it gets intense but I legitimately care about them and live them so much ♥️
@@dinaandrade5415 they don’t know it’s a lie. They actually believe what they are being taught. They are not had people , they are human beings that need to be guided to the true Jesus ♥️
@@Eatyoveggiesfoo Really, they seem a little alien to me. However continue doing what you're doing, don't let anyone stop you. Preach to them.
@@Eatyoveggiesfoo the NT tells us that if anyone comes teaching a different gospel, not even to let them into your house.

😢😢😢😢 it hurts me so much. My daughter is in that church. i talk to her, and she doesn't want to listen she so into that church i keep praying that the Lord opens her eyes
Did your daughter ever get out?
@@madelinerivera777 my daughter too ! In Texas and I am livid about her being in this cult . I am not sure why they have her going into church at 4am and then she’s there all day for the feast time . She doesn’t eat from us bc she doesn’t want food prayed over anymore 😭
When they told me that I needed to be baptized under the three name including ansagon I was like noooooooooo.
And that christ came back in 1948, in Korea, hell no.
@grant gee That happened to me, too. He wanted me to come to his house. I declined with the quickness.
Hell No! Indeed. What a bunch they are.
The same happened to me and I live in Auckland New Zealand
@CL 1st zion
@CL year and a half
For me, i met someone on a college campus and he opened up about the original sabbath being saturday rather than sunday. Weve been doing about 1 hour bible "studies" or lessons. And i didnt know about ahnsahnghong or mother god until i went to a sermon. Fortu ately you explain alot of my questions
I would like everyone to know several people are getting out of the New Zealand church as a result of this thread. I am absolutely delighted good for them they are now free
Tim McCarty I’m one of them I left last week
Sadly my sister is still fully conned from this group(cult)
I hope she will be open minded enough to watch these videos and understand
My sister is at Henderson cult.
Amen. I went in 2010. Manipulated me as a student and the world never ended in 2012 like we were told. People committed suicide, marriages were broken and than they tell brothers and sisters to basically leave you alone because your going to hell.
@@solobanditpg hey I'm also from NZ. Would love get in contact with you through email so we can discuss what your experience was like in that church. Would love to hear from you, cheers!
This is really good to hear! I'm a pastor in South Auckland, at the moment I'm trying to help someone leave this cult. I stumbled across this video while researching WMSCOG (a cult I'd never heard of before a few days ago). In South Auckland they call themselves "Zion Church". They seem almost identical to the Moonies, just a different competing Korean couple inventing a mother God and claiming to be Jesus.
My wife and I were approached by 2 young men inviting us (out of the blue) to a Bible study. I told them I lead the discipleship at our church, and commended them by trying to reach out to people (I was under the wrong impression). It threw me off when the mentioned the god mother, and Jesus' bride, and the new Jerusalem, and all that nonsense. When they started misquoting the Bible I snapped, and quoted Galatians and told them: you are preaching a different gospel, you are accursed, you will stop talking, and I will walk away. (Of course, the conversation was a bit longer.) Automatically I brought the issue to our church and encourage them to be ready to defend the Gospel when the time comes.
I was baptized in December in this church, it's a warm welcoming environment it seems for the most part. they have many locations and are growing especially in the USA. Since the first moment I heard of christ ansanghong I felt a pit of guilt in my stomach and confusion for considering him christ. You are so right. They claim following the new covenant will bring you salvation, they do scare and deter you from other Christian religions. Then they push you and pressure you to be baptized in the church I was pushed after just 1 sermon and Bible study which was surprising, they didn't mention christ ansanghong until the moment of my baptism then proceeded to tell me I will learn more about him later 2 months later I still have not been clarified on who exactly christ ansanghong is and I believe this is because they can feel my skepticism of their beliefs, so they want to convince me more of the truth before dropping the truth. So I had to search for it and I found your videos which confirmed ALL of my fears. God bless you.
I was given a korean comic book from the church about the sabbath and keeping.
I had a pair stop by my house some years ago. I loved their bible discussion. I had become a born again Christian after leaving Mormonism. So I wasnt up for committing to baptism. I checked out their videos of their services and noped out of it. It was to similar to the mormon temple service.
The worst part is they claim you are surely going to hell for not believing in any of their crazy interpretations
Omw Mike! I was literally told that I was a fallen angel and then to make me believe it they would say but you can't remember your first steps as a baby I was like what.. Thanks for this I now know they are all teaching the same false gospel. All I wanted to do was a simple bible study with a friend and before I knew it I was in a service and preached all these things. Luckily my faith and walk with Christ is very strong and immediately I knew that this is all wrong
I get a team come up to me about once a month and sometimes multiple times a day trying to convince me of their mother god (little g, she isn't real). They run away when I engage because not a baby in the faith anymore but it's very concerning what they do. I will rewatch these so i can write down verses and hopefully come up with a better approach that doesn't involve "run away" as a response on their part
You may never get them where running away isn't part of their game plan. It's a pretty common tactic if a target is too strong.
It does not matter what day, I agree with that, as when we read or preach the Gospel, we celebrate or praise the one who was birthed as one of us.
God bless, and love you❤
I am shocked.
After my Church was splitting up two years ago.
A friend of mine attended a korean group called Shincheonji.
They say that Lee Man-Hee the founder of this group is the new John the Baptist.
My friend joined the group and is now caught up.
She approched me as well. I was joining the group for several month. I thought it was a normal bible group and I trusted my friend because I knew her for quite some time.
I asked the people what kind of Church they are and they always said to me: Be patient you will soon find out. We are just normal people like the apostels were. And my friend also convinced me that they are all normal and love the bibel and just are teaching from the bible and nothing else.
But the method how they are approching people is the same as the World Mission Society Church of God".
After months went in (they also have a bible study group which you have to attend) they told me that Lee Man Hee was the new john the baptist/Jesus and you will only get truly saved if you believe in everything he says like everyone had to believe Jesus to be saved.
From this day on I and two other girls from the bibel group left the korean group.
But sadly my friend doesn´t believe me that she under a false teaching and was crying, because in her mind I will go to hell.
She still is in the group and I don´t know how to approach her.
This group is now spreading all over the world and they have many followers.
But I started to pray for her and her sister!
I haven´t watched the video The False Teachings and Lies of Joo-Cheol Kim (Pastor of the Church of God) yet but i will.
I just had to write this!
So if anyone of you lives in Germany or anywhere else and you are getting asked to join a bibel study group.
PLEASE do not join them!
I took me weeks (with the help of my pastor and friends) to get my head in right biblical order!
BUT I also have to say the through this experience I have seeking the Lord more than ever before in my life (although a grew up as a christian),
because I had to find out for myself why I believe in Jesus.
I am soo glad that through this time God was by my side and he has found me again!
Amen!
Not everyone who invites others to a Bible study is from this cult... Just to clarify 😅
I'm a part of a college church, and we have had several interactions with WMSCOG members. I'm super thankful for this work you've done on revealing the teachings of this cult, it's helped us better engage their proselytizers.
Pastor Mike, I know it's been a long time since you posted this video but I would like to thank you very much for opening my eyes about this church. They believe the world is ending before 2045 and that God the Mother will make the call when she wants to end the world. It sounds ridiculous of course but I just wanted you to know that. Thank you for all the work that you do. I'm currently working on an exposé using your videos to expose this church. God bless you.
Hey, Pastor Winger. I remember watching this series of videos when you first released them ages ago. I was thoroughly interested because this group was so obscure I'd never heard of it. It was almost like they didn't exist. Then just today, I was at the mall wife my wife and daughter and was approached by two guys in their 20's. Asked if I was interested in things of the spirit and God "Elohim". I immediately thought I was dealing with Latter Day Saints, so when they asked "Do you believe in God?" I said "Which god?" And he responded with "God Elohim, and the Son, and God the mother as Jesus spoke of." And immediately I was like "Oh my goodness this is that group Mike Winger talked about! I literally didn't believe these people existed." I wanted to evangelize to them, but it just wasn't the best encounter just due to circumstances (I didn't have time for a long form convo). As soon as I got home today I immediately came back to these videos. These teachings are bizarre.
Yes they are.
These people also pray in Korean...nope, I am not gonna pray in a language that I don't speak.

Ok then pray in Hebrew just like everyone in the Bible did🧍🏽

I haven't watched this video yet, but I did just watch a video from this pastor in fact it is someone entitled The Beauty of repentance. and most of what he said sounded pretty accurate except for is constant repeating of father and mother. That's what I noticed now I'm about to find out what this gentleman has to say in a brief way I don't know if I want to stay and watch an hour long video. However... I was interested to find out where this pastor was from and seeing his from South Korea and not the Philippines because it seems to me that in the Philippines they take to the same sort of incorporation of beliefs... now it just so happens that I seen your image, and you seem to be sticking up for this pastor... Which is fine oh, I was just wondering... Are you Filipino?
I was a member for 10 years I left after realising the countless contradictions they had in their teachings
I've been pondering how do people just believe this type of stuff, I liken it the same way as people just believe certain political parties the same way as a cult as well. Thanks be to God that opens the eyes of the blind!
I actually came here after attending one of their seminars. They hit me with the Ahn Sahng Hong at the end and after saying I would research it the girl who invited me said there's alot of negativity out here but dont fall for it. They hadn't even gotten to the living mother God yet. Omg. But I can say this, they are incredibly nice, and open to conversation. I asked a million questions over the span of a couple hours and they answered everything without saying "wait and all will be revealed".
true, it's happening to me, I'm in my personal journey to look for the truth in this cult/group/whatever... But true, they're super nice and welcoming
@@lazypotatoarmy9637 So? They are nice. Some are even cute. Evil doesn't only come in mean.
@@dondixon4206 never said they were evil or mean, just telling my experience
They actually are nice people, most of the members dont do this for money, they think they are doing good deeds
@@thutrangphan9155 yeah. Reminds me of that verse that says, “[2 Corinthians 11:13-15 (ESV):] 13 For such men are false apostles, deceitful workmen, disguising themselves as apostles of Christ. 14 And no wonder, for even Satan disguises himself as an angel of light. 15 So it is no surprise if his servants, also, disguise themselves as servants of righteousness. Their end will correspond to their deeds.” This is undoubtedly applicable to them
Exactly I was baptized in that name and I was shock after listening that name,and when I ask about the name they said ever thing will be explained to u but slowly..... Then why did they baptisted me before I know everything
Its a cult!!!
I had a 1hr + conversation with a guy that came up to me at Barnes and Noble while I was looking for a Bible about God the mother, the sabbath, etc (everything that you’re talking about).
I went through Galatians with him and different things, but just came to the conclusion: How does your theology fit with the thief on the cross?
The guy tried to tell me that it was a one-off.
I said “Well James states that the wisdom from above is without partiality. So is salvation by works, or not?”
The guy couldn’t answer me and went back to random scriptures in the gospels about how we need to keep the law.
I ended up pulling the Ray Comfort “if I was dying and had 3 seconds to live, could I be saved if I called on Jesus?”
He avoided the question, went back to the scriptures he gave originally.
I told him his exegesis was wrong and I wouldn’t be converted.
We ended up shaking hands while I told him he’s preaching a false gospel, leading people astray, and that he needs to actually read the Bible for himself.
All I saw my sister do for their Passover was she was making these little communion bread things. She had one of her sisters there and was rude. Our brother came home from work and she was all cheery and greeted him. My sis plays the victim and I know she tells them we're terrible to her when it's the other way around. This cult is for her.
Assuming doesnt proof a point the church im going to says no such things
He scares people into thinking they aren’t saved so that they will run on emotion and won’t stop and think.
When you in Christ, truth just makes your heart melt, I am currently reasoning with this other brother who is part of that Church, and how wonderful that I am pointing out the same things you talking about, I love you brother Mike. How thankful we are to God that we in the truth.

45:39 these people visited me and apparently they do communion on the first month on the 14th day. She tried to tell me that the real day is January 14th, then I corrected her that saying that the first month in the Jewish calendar is April on our calendar and she was confused. I’m glad by the time I was approached I was already spending everyday in my Bible. We must stay in our Word, to show ourselves approved and to not perish due to lack of knowledge.
It's crazy and I pray for all the lost sheep at the Church of God

Brad Jefferson Come for a Bible Study and learn through the scriptures that Christ Ahnsahnghong and Heavenly Mother are testified throughout all 66 books of the Bible. Only Second Coming Christ can fully restore ALL of the yearly feast, God’s Commandments and Thoroughly break down parables which is code, for people like yourself and I to fully understand the Bible. Let’s not be like the Pharisees that “studied the scriptures” and then denied God in the flesh and had him crucified. To then them realizing they had murder God in the flesh.
Revelation 12:17
Acts 16:6
Apostle Paul clearly tells us through scriptures that Second Coming Christ and our Heavenly Mother had to come from a country that the truth wasn’t preached to which is Korea. That’s just a few verses but their are so many more. In the book of Daniel their are multiple animals described in a way we would never see them on this physical Earth because they’re actually Kings in History that concord countries and it ultimately reveals who is Satan in this world. That’s why I insist in you coming to study the Bible so you can see for yourself the truth. Church of God is an international Church with about 3 million members.

To be a Christian a follower of Christ according to the bible is it easy or hard? Its difficult.
If your following God who doesn't want you to follow God? Satan.
Following God you will face persecution God says that. But all the Christian's today for the most part are excepted. Even though they're all in different denominations that oppose each other and the bible itself. All the stories in ther bible show something very important. The correct church Gods true ppl are not popular with the world. They will be made fun of be told they're wrong etc. Don't let ppl say you were wrong or video like this discourage you. If this guy us pulling "many" ppl away from the truth through his videos. Think about who he must be spiritually. Not someone you wanna hang with or listen to.

You are right to say that Satan doesn't want us to follow God.
Well, God declared "Besides *Me* there is NO other god" Isaiah 44:6
Yet Wmscog doesn't want to follow God by insisting there is another god.
So who is following Satan by contradicting God when God said there is NO other god? Wmscog, I am sorry to tell you.

@@econs999How many times did Father God say the is no other besides me? Twice said it in the old and new. The Jews brought that up when Christ came because they didn't understand. Christian's are repeating the same mistake the Jews did. The Christian's like the Jews didn't follow don't follow God correctly so how could that recognize him. There is action with the faith needed for all Christians. Don't believe in 2nd coming of Christ yet ok. Lets focus on his 1st coming Jesus Christ same God Father of all. He came to save us . From the 2nd death not the 1st. So why are we charged with a 2nd death? What bad thing have we done in this life that we are charged with death(referring to hell)a second time? Do you really think yout on this earth because Adam and Eve? What does Jesus say about all this? He says where we come from and who we are inside the bible. In the bible it even says why he has to comeback a 2nd time in our age with a new name. The age of the holy spirit. Very important scripture is Daniel's Prophecy which explains our time and who and where Satan is and how he practically fools ther whole world almost even the elect. The majority religion is Christianity which is also the most divided religion. Each church even some of the same denominations are divided. But there are mysteries in the bible . The church that can explain those mysteries soundly. Or just able to soundly make sence of the bible.(only God can do that and the ones directly taught from God) Should be worth having a listen to and to test the spirit.
@@jclever145
You say "How many times did Father God say there is no other [god] besides Me? Twice...."
Assuming God said twice that there is no other god as you said so, therefore, why do you or Wmscog want to ignore the truth of what He said?
Why should you or Wmscog *speak against* God and insist that there is another god?
This is why you are right to say that Satan doesn't want to follow what God said. And do you want to follow his example? I hope not.

Bwahaha🤣
I was just invited to a bible study by a well meaning korean kid who was really concerned about passover and the Saturday sabbath. I guess I know the situation now
Mate, from experiencing this "church" first hand here in the land down under. I completely agree with what you are saying and it is exactly their method of teaching the bible.
I was baptized in their so called truth only a few weeks ago and attended a service just today.
People please understand their lies by reading chapters and not just the specific verses they show you. You need the context of the chapters to understand the verses.
Mike thank you so much from my family to you, for you have given us the words to defend our belief in Jesus. God Bless!
Yes not d verses they show bt the cmplete chapters we need to study n know d cntxt in them...n for this we need to give time for bible studies...dat is where we fail n cults n false teachers take advntge of our ds weakness n mnpulate our mind easily due to less knwldge n weak faith...n succeed in their motives
Thanks Mike for this video. I actually watched the other one about “Ahnsahnghong” because I hadn’t heard about this guy Joo-Cheol Kim (I think that’s how it’s spelled) since I was only a week in to WMSCOG. However, after I looked up Ahnsahnghong’s name (what they called second coming Christ and the new name of the Holy Spirit), went to a Wikipedia page, found claims of them being a cult, searched up “WMSCOG” on the internet and then found a Reddit page linking this video, I ended up going to your one about “Christ Ahnsahnghong”.
Anyways long story short, I watched that video and it debunked everything I was learning. Thank God for leading me to your videos and thank you for exposing the truth… if I wasn’t led here, I might’ve stopped going to any church other than theirs, completely thrown away my relationship with Jesus for a false idol of Ahnsahnghong, and started believing in a works-based doctrine. I’m glad God intervened. Praise the Lord Jesus Christ!
I can send you copies of the things I have that they gave me.
There are a ton of members at my college... Do you have anything to send so I can look into it?
The World Gospel Mission Association of the Church of God, which is defined as heresy by the Korean church, was established by Ahn Sang-hong in 1964, and since Ahn Sang-hong died in 1985, he has appointed his wife, Jang Gil-ja, as his mother, God, and Kim Joo-cheol, Jang Gil-ja's nephew, as the general chairman.
Thx Mike for taking the time to research the WMSCOG, which i currently belong to (2yrs.) Thank you for giving me hope to leave. Most members would not even watch your video, they encourage not to look at the internet when you first start going. They start prayer with Father and Mother but I would always pray Father in heaven or Lord Jesus for example. I just never felt in my heart like I wanted to pray to Mother or use the name AhnSahngHong. I first got recruited in Walmart by a girl in her 20s that just started working as a nurse, so I thought alright well she's educated and has several verses memorized. Anyway my story is too long but basically you are giving me the strength to find another church and not to feel the guilt that's put on you for not following their regulations. I was made to feel like I'm not putting God 1st bc I did not show up for 5am prayer week for one of the feasts. God Bless you for caring enough to make these videos to save people.
You only have to find prophet Elijah for your salvation (

THEY APPROACHED ME AT WALMART TOO AND THEN I ASKED HIM AT THE END OF SERVICE THE GUY THAT INVITED ME AND HE WAS INVITED FROM WALMART ALSO!!! So glad I found this I just sent it he church after ignoring it for months and everything your saying is so true so I texted him about it when I got home and he didn’t answer none of it and said like 3 times saying come to Bible study and we can discuss and then texted saying are you going to come to Bible study?
Hey, I'm really wanting to preach at their church near me. It sounds like they don't have pastors? If you had the opportunity, for a quick short sermon, what would you press on?
I really think the lady I spoke to, who led me to your video, she was totally deceived. Also, look how the Muslim religion started, someone completely blinded and thought an actual angel spoke to him.
Hey Mike, thank you for your teachings; the only thing that I have really wanted to comment on is about the Sabbath. Around minute 13, you speak about not being under the law and you don't need to keep the Sabbath. If you believe in the ten commandments you then need to understand that the Sabbath is apart of that. Hope this helps.
that's the old testament fam
Hi Keith, you're right there are also other commands hidden within the Ten Commandments.
Jesus IS our Sabbath rest. That was the whole point of the day; it was a shadow of Christ.
@@peter.e2980 if it’s Old Testament then why did Jesus keep the Sabbath?
@@michaelluvsyouu7720. Jesus was a Jew so he naturally kept the Sabbath. 🤷🏿♀️ So the answer is quite obvious. 2. Jesus also didn't act like how the religious leaders expected. He did things that they claimed "broke" the rules and it made them angry enough to kill him. They were upset he wasn't doing what they wanted even though they added 600+ regulations to practicing the Sabbath according to historians. It was to the point that Jesus healing a man on the Sabbath was an offense to them. In Mark 3 it angered Jesus and grieved his heart at how hard hearted and legalistic the Pharisees were.
Then Paul in Romans talks about these things (just as Mike noted).
The truth is not determined by any particular church or denomination. It's determined by God and his Word. We do a disservice when we take things out of context to fit an agenda.
I pray for you to keep the faith as you profess and that i may take what you say to heart and not only be a hearer of the word but a doer to the GLORY OF CHRIST .. our SAVIOUR
I joined this WMSCOG in June 2018 through a lady who brainwashed me that there is a Heavenly Mother who's alive in South Korea and she is a mother of all, I wonder all these years I heard that there only a God existed with 3 personalities present in him called Trinity. This is a justified version in Bible, but where does the Mother seen in Bible, and I could not experience any presence of God in this Church. And my inner Spirit is unable to accept the truth of this Mother concept during my Saturday worship, I was forcibly driven away.

For this people’s heart has become calloused;
they hardly hear with their ears,
and they have closed their eyes.
Otherwise they might see with their eyes,
hear with their ears,

Thanks for your videos on this topic. I ran into a college age guy that is a follower of this group today and have now been researching what this false Gospel is so I can reach out to those in it with the truth of God's breathed out word. I like doing a simple side by side contrast of scripture vs. false teachings.
The Church of God interprets the Last Supper as the same day as the Passover and keeps it grand. However, according to the Bible, the Last Supper and the Passover are different days. The Last Supper was held on the day before the Passover, and this is recorded in detail in the Gospel of John. Yehoshua's actions were recorded in detail in the Gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John, and Matthew, Mark, and Luke recorded the Last Supper in just a few lines. However, John wrote in great detail in a vast amount of content. So, if you look closely at the Gospel of John, you will find that the Last Supper took place on the eve of the Passover. John wrote about the Last Supper:
[John 13:1~2] It was before Passover, and Jesus knew that the time had come for him to leave this world and to return to the Father. He had always loved his followers in this world, and he loved them to the very end. Even before the evening meal started, the devil had made Judas, the son of Simon Iscariot, decide to betray Jesus.
In the Gospel of John, we can confirm that the Last Supper was held before the Passover. During the Last Supper, Judas had a few words with Yehoshua and left to sell Jehoshua, but the remaining disciples misunderstood that Judas was going to buy things for the feast.
[John 13:26~30] Jesus answered, "I will dip this piece of bread in the sauce and give it to the one I was talking about." Then Jesus dipped the bread and gave it to Judas, the son of Simon Iscariot. Right then Satan took control of Judas. Jesus said, "Judas, go quickly and do what you have to do." No one at the meal understood what Jesus meant. But because Judas was in charge of the money, some of them thought that Jesus had told him to buy something they needed for the festival. Others thought that Jesus had told him to give some money to the poor. Judas took the piece of bread and went out. It was already night.
What does it mean that Judas went out to buy things for the feast? If that day was the Passover, what kind of holiday did the disciples think? If the Last Supper is the Passover, does it make sense to go out to buy things for the holiday? Also, the Jews dragged Yehoshua all night long. And many Jews followed to see Yehoshua. Then, when Yehoshua was dragged into Pilate's palace, many Jews were reluctant to enter Pilate's official residence. What was the reason?
[John 18:28] Then they led Jesus from Caiaphas into the Praetorium, and it was early; and they themselves did not enter into the Praetorium so that they would not be defiled, but might eat the Passover.
Why do you think the Jews who followed Yehoshua were reluctant to enter Pilate's official residence? They wanted to eat the Passover food without defiling their bodies. If the day that Yehoshua was arrested was the Passover, would the Jews have thought like that? Governor Pilate also made the following meaningful remarks before issuing the death sentence:
[John 18:39~40] But you have a custom that I release someone for you at the Passover; do you wish then that I release for you the King of the Jews?" So they cried out again, saying, "Not this Man, but Barabbas." Now Barabbas was a robber.
Pilate wanted to release Yehoshua. So he tried to release Jesus by using the special pardon that he gives every year at the Passover. But the Jews wanted Barabbas the robber, not Yehoshua, and Yehoshua did not receive pardon at the Passover. In the end, Yehoshua died on the cross on the Passover, and John wrote about that day as follows.
[John 19:31~33] The next day would be both a Sabbath and the Passover. It was a special day for the Jewish people, and they did not want the bodies to stay on the crosses during that day. So they asked Pilate to break the men's legs and take their bodies down. The soldiers first broke the legs of the other two men who were nailed there. But when they came to Jesus, they saw that he was already dead, and they did not break his legs.
Yehoshua died on the cross at 3:00 PM on January 14, the Jewish calendar, when the Passover lamb was sacrificed. And that night the Jews celebrated the feast of the Passover, which coincided with the Sabbath. Yehoshua died at 3 pm on Friday, so the Passover that was celebrated that evening overlapped the Sabbath. In this way, John recorded the details from the Last Supper to his death in great detail. If you look closely, you can see that Yehoshua died on the 14th day of January in the Jewish calendar, that is, at 3 pm on the Passover, when the Passover lamb was sacrificed. In addition to this, if you look at the Gospel of Matthew, you can confirm that Yehoshua died on the Passover.
[Matthew 26:1~5] When Jesus had finished teaching, he told his disciples, "You know that two days from now will be Passover. That is when the Son of Man will be handed over to his enemies and nailed to a cross." At that time the chief priests and the nation's leaders were meeting at the home of Caiaphas the high priest. They planned how they could sneak around and have Jesus arrested and put to death. But they said, "We must not do it during Passover, because the people will riot."
Yehoshua knew that he would be crucified on the Passover. That is why He said, “It is the Passover in two days, and on that day the Son of Man will be crucified.” The elders also feared the commotion and conspired to kill Joshua before the Passover began. Therefore, Yehoshua died on the Passover. How, then, is the history book of the church recorded? Church history books also record that Yehoshua died on the Passover. Therefore, the Last Supper was celebrated on the eve of Passover.
In a book called Faith of the Fathers published by the Catholic Church, it was recorded that Yehoshua died on the Passover, and the Israeli Cultural Center also replied that Yehoshua died on the Passover.
Not only the records of the Bible, but also the history books of the church and the answers of the Israeli Cultural Center testify that Yehoshua died on the Passover. However, the Church of God insists that the Passover and the Last Supper are the same day. And every year, on the evening of the Passover on January 14 of the Jewish calendar, bread and wine are shared and celebrated like the Last Supper. They are brainwashing believers by claiming that if they do not eat and drink the Passover bread and wine, they will not have eternal life. However, this is a misinterpretation of the Bible. The Last Supper is a different day from the Passover, and eating and drinking of bread and wine does not give you eternal life.
The members of the Church of God are being deceived by their leaders, Gil-Ja Jang and Joo-Cheol Kim. You need to realize that you are being deceived and get out of there.
Mark 14:12 NIV
On the first day of the Festival of Unleavened Bread, when it was customary to sacrifice the Passover lamb, Jesus’ disciples asked him, “Where do you want us to go and make preparations for you to eat the Passover?”
It is clearly said the Passover.
Takes a lot more than that to scare me. I'd call them out in a heartbeat.
Mike, thank you for the deep dive research you are doing. I heard your presentations on this "God the Mother" cult in the past and found it informative, but at that time it was "out there". Today I got a text message from one of these guys. Apparently, he stopped my teenage son at local Walmart and tried to recruit him. My kid gave him my number instead of his. Under other circumstances I would not be pleased but after I called this Church of God guy and talked to him, I called my son and said "Good move, kid". This stuff is dangerous for people who are not schooled. You are doing God's work and trying to keep us safe from the wolves. God bless you for that!
How can I get this book?
This is a fact: Anyone who believes in Mother God has failed to know the definition of "Jesus is God". Individual or groupwise. Jesus is God basically means whatever Jesus can do God can also. If Jesus is the truth like it states in John 14:6 God is as well. If Jesus performed miracles so did his father. This is what Jesus is God actually means you guys. Again anyone who believes in Mother God. God is the only being...........WHO WAS NEVER BORN. That's correct. God Almighty was here from the beginning. His son Jesus Christ however was. Mary gave birth to him although while she was pregnant an angel told her she would be birthing the greatest person in the world!!!!!!!!!!!!! The song goes in Above All "you were here before the world began" this line is talking about God.
Blasphemy 😕
Jesus Christ is The God above ALL gods and as such He can have any date He wishes and take that date over from anyone else; because He can. He is the Supreme and Only Real God. He's above everything and everyone. All Glory Praise and Honour to The Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Amen

Thank God I happened across your channel. I was approached by a member of this organization. We became good friends; thats when the topic of religion came up. I attended a few bible studies. Learned everything you mentioned, the sabbath, passover, god the mother etc. And of course AhnSunghung. They wanted me to get baptized. But I said I wanted to look into this more myself. After doing sooo much research I am turned off from the WMSCOG. But now I need to somehow get my friend, who I mentioned earlier, out of that organization.

With Gods guidance, Im going to try.

[Case No. 2016DO21129] The Church of God has conducted trainings that promote divorce and family breakdown, and several divorces have occurred.
[Case No. 2015No542] A Church of God member tied a 4-year-old child's hands with a tie, taped his mouth shut, and assaulted his mother with a knife for over an hour in front of the child.
[Case No. 2017NA2069268] The Church of God taught that unbelieving husbands and family members are demons and that earthly families are fake. It also taught that failure to tithe and evangelize is a curse from God.
Interesting, I was approached by two young girls earlier this evening and asked me if I believe in God. The first thing they brought up is the “mother of God” and then proceeded to spit scriptures. I said, well I believe in the only God Jesus Christ. They paused and I asked what church do you go to? one of the girls pulled out a book “Elohist” I googled in front of them and kept saying the only God I believe in is Jesus Christ. They said they’re Christians too but funny how they didn’t bring out the Bible. They couldn’t convince me so they left. Lol which was interesting.
It’s very true they were trying to confuse me from what you said in the beginning of your video.

Tell me more about this curious
What they are sharing to you came from Jesus Christ Himself. It was God who made it possible for you to hear about the good news about God's truth.God the Father, Jesus Christ and His disciples testified in the Bible that we have God the Mother along with God the Father since the very beginning.
@@channelofafangirl6926 really, which part of bible is actually saying there is such a thing called god mother?
@@imdatguy0224 That is true, that is why we have to seek God, and worship only the true God. In the Bible, God the Mother is testified, She is God, Almighty and Very Holy. =D
What I couldn't understand about the WMSCOG members is that even after failed predictions and also the fact saying that Ahn will come back again but he didn't, they still continue to believe. God is perfect isn't it and keeps his promises isn't it? If that is so, the predictions should be as accurate as it gets.
By then they're so brainwashed the failed lreduction doesn't change their views.
I am not watching live stream, but I really appreciate seeing the bible verses on screen.
Thank you, Mike. I have a feeling that my apartment complex is full of this heresy. The people act very strangely here....like a cult.
Could be a HOA?
I feel as though it is impossible to open my family members eyes.
Sister, _"with God all things are possible"_ (Mark 10:27) so pray and have faith, God Bless..

The leader of the Church of God is Rev. Joo Chul Kim. He was born in Pohang in 1960, the youngest of two boys and two girls, and joined the Church of God with his mother, Mrs. Park. Around 1982, he was assigned as the pastor of the Seoul Church. At that time, there was an evangelist named Gilja Jang in the Seoul Church. Evangelist Jang introduced him to a woman who later turned out to be the cousin of Evangelist Jang's husband, Mr. Kim Jae-hoon. Their marriage brought Jang Gil-jah and Kim Joo-chul into close contact.
However, the sudden death of Pastor Ahn Sang-hong in 1985 threw the Church of God into turmoil, and it was Kim Joo-cheol who stepped in to clean up the mess. Unlike the Busan members, Jang Gil-jah and Kim Ju-cheol did not attend Ahn's funeral in Busan. They were plotting to take control of the church.
According to testimony from members of the Busan church, Kim withdrew 3 million won from a bank account kept at the church and has yet to return it. After the funeral, the Seoul church convened an emergency general assembly and proclaimed Jang Gil-jah as Ahn's bride using Ahn and Jang's wedding photo, but following backlash from Busan church members, Kim reportedly apologized to the congregation in a handwritten memorandum. Kim Joo-cheol had vowed not to idolize Jang Gil-jah, or even himself, but soon afterward he broke his promise by making Jang Gil-jah his god.
According to the testimony of Pastor Ahn's wife, Ms. Hwang, Kim Joo-cheol demanded that Pastor Ahn's body be taken for himself throughout the night. However, when Mr. Hwang objected, saying that the bereaved family was alive and in their care, Kim Joo-cheol left in great disappointment. We don't know what Kim Joo-cheol intended to do with Ahn Sang-hong's body, but we can only marvel at his bizarre behavior.
After splitting from the Busan Church, the newly founded Seoul Church renamed itself the Ahnsahnghong Witness Church of God and, in accordance with Ahnsahnghong's will, declared 1988 to be the end of the world, created and distributed leaflets, and went around Seoul calling out to citizens that 1988 was the end of the world.
Kim preached the doomsday from 1988 to 2012, and whenever he failed, he tried to cover up his ugly crimes by changing the name of his church or filing lawsuits against those who criticized him. When hundreds of members of the Church of God in Daegu left the church and criticized the fraudulent practices of the Church of God and Kim Joo-cheol, the church mobilized its members to assault the defectors, an incident that was covered by MBC News in Daegu for three days.
Kim also submitted a seminary degree certificate to the U.S. Embassy in order to obtain permanent residency in the U.S. According to the certificate, Kim entered Melchizedek Seminary in Jeon Eui-myeon, Chungcheongbuk-do, in 1980 and graduated in 1983. However, according to witnesses, there was no seminary at that time.
According to the Articles of Incorporation of the Church of God, Kim Joo-cheol has the supreme authority to run the church's finances, publish doctrines, and discipline members, and Jang Gil-ja has no authority. According to the Articles of Incorporation, Kim Joo-cheol is the permanent president, which is an absolute power that exceeds the Pope in Catholicism. Therefore, the supreme authority of the Church of God is Kim Joo-cheol, not Jang Gil-ja.
In addition to the end of the world, Kim teaches an evil doctrine that destroys the homes of his followers. He taught that earthly families were fake, that non-believers were demons, and that they were cursed if they did not tithe and evangelize, all of which made him a trillion-dollar fortune in Korean money. It also sued and lost lawsuits against its critics and was branded a cult. The Church of God is run by Kim Joo-cheol, and Jang Gil-jah is just an idol that Kim Joo-cheol built. Just as the idol itself is not powerful, but the person who set it up is powerful, so Kim Joo-cheol, who set up the idol of Jang Gil-jah, is the real owner of the Church of God. However, Church of God members are unaware of this fact.
There is a Korean in New Jersey named Daniel Lee who called my friend ‘Monkey’ over & over in front of other cult members. Thank the Lord my friend escaped this cult. This same friend
went to Korea twice. That divorced woman who claims to be god slutted
after him. She couldn’t tell him his name because she’s NOT god. She grabbed his hand as quickly as she spotted him coming off the plane from America and announced how handsome she thought he was.
2007 was baptized, 6 months later met heavenly mother. 2008, was appointed even though I didn't choose to go, same as the previous year. I was 22, young working adult. I left around 2018.. Wasted my life..
The Sabbath commandment is apart of the 10 commandments moral laws. We don't follow the ceremonial laws along with others laws Moses wrote.
Jesus clearly says if you love me then keep my commandments.
Is it a salvation issue?
No, but after being saved, then turn around and say I don't love you because I'm not going to keep your commandments.
It's it a salvation issue? No, but if the Holy Spirit isn't pushing you to do it, then maybe there's a problem.
I'm really thankful for this video. To know the truth.
I'm a part of the church, now i want to ask how to quit smoothly? without any troubles? Cause when i said I'm quitting of course they will convince me, but no matter what they say i want to quit already. and i don't want it to become troublesome for me and to them too.
Im Christian and I do believe that Christmas is a pagan holiday...
Hi Melissa, you are right.
Anything done in the dark will be brought to the light...thank you for bringing this to the light of truth wide out in the open...bravo
I asked them if they know the gospel and they said the gospel is being a good person, they're obviously following a man who is not Jesus
And I was told by one of the member that being a good person serves no purpose in/for heaven... yet we have another contradiction by their teachings
@@farnsworth3959 that's weird. Obviously obeying God is apart of Jesus message
@@kevindrake714 They had this idea that because 'we are sinners', being good and serving others doesn't wash our sins away. I wonder if they ever read Matthew 25.
They are here in el Centro CA they were already trying to get my two sons. Be very careful keep an eye on your kids. They approach young people .
Very interesting, I never heard of this cult. thanks for sharing.
Thank you for the guidelines it was really helpful.
Thanks for these videos Mike. I’m an apologist trying to prepare as I have heard this group has hit my area. Your videos have been an asset and a tremendous help in preparing especially given how little information is out there on this group.

Going back to this serie as I am living in Korea so of course, I'll have to meet them all here. The JW are also quite active.
Last week they stopped me and lucky them I was alone and I didn't have my friend to stop me from talking to them. And they knew some level of English. It's sad because they genuinely look like sweeet girls. Both were raised there so I can't imagine the level of indoctrination they had gone through. I sent her the first video you did on the cult and I also shared with them some info. I probably will stop talking with them at some point but I pray that the Lord will open their eyes and that they will see the heresies of those teachings and that they will be raised to go against this cult!!
Thank you so much for these precious videos!!
