Church of God Holds Worldwide Blood Drive to Give Life Through the Love of the Passover 2012

By Srecko.Krestic on Mar 23, 2012 in Featured, Health News, United States

The World Mission Society Church of God (General Pastor Joo-Cheol Kim) carries out the “Worldwide Blood Drive to Give Life Through the Love of the Passover 2012″ in Korea and every country of the world to save patients who are in critical condition due to blood shortage.
The Church of God stated the purpose of the event, “We hold blood drives to commemorate the sacred birth of God Ahnsahnghong who came to the earth a second time and to save lives in critical condition due to blood shortage, following the example of the love of God who gives eternal life to mankind through the New Covenant Passover,” and added, “We want to alert people to a trend to make light of human life and to lead the world to share the love of God.”
In Korea, the blood drive will be carried out in order throughout the country. In the case of overseas churches, about 2,200 Churches of God in 170 countries in North America, South America, Europe, Asia, Oceania and Africa where the Church of God is established, will perform it. The Church said, “It will continue until April 5th on which the 2012 Passover Assembly is held.”
The Church of God will provide its church buildings which are located in important places worldwide as temporary places for blood donation. In some regions, the members will visit a blood center, a blood donation center of the Red Cross or a university hospital to donate blood. The members of the Church of God will not only take part in the blood donation but also inform the importance of blood donation by conducting a blood donation campaign extensively and leading their neighbors to participate in it, too.
In the case of the Unites States, the blood drive is being held in the Nation’s Capitol of Washington, D. C. at the Eastern Market North Hall with Inova Blood Donor Services on March
25, 2012 from 10:00am to 2:00pm. In this blood drive, they invite the D. C., Maryland, and Virginia communities to take action and stand united donating blood under the organization of their choice competing to raise most blood. In addition, the Church of God will display its history and accomplishments in Washington, D. C. to the public during this event with musical performances and smiles on every face.
The worldwide blood drive of the Church of God will give great help to the patients suffering from incurable diseases such as leukemia or cancer, and the patients who need urgent blood transfusion due to sudden accident. Additionally, they will contribute greatly to expanding the base of blood donation by destroying negative view on blood donation.
While the Church of God carries out the “Blood Drive to Give Life Through the Love of the Passover,” they will prepare the Passover 2012, and will conduct worldwide cleanup campaign as well.
The Passover of the new covenant, which the Church regards as important, is the day when Jesus Christ promised the forgiveness of sins and eternal life to those who have bread and wine representing His flesh and blood; Jesus established this new covenant on the night before He was crucified 2,000 years ago.
Following the teachings of Jesus Christ, the Church of God keeps the Passover by eating bread and drinking wine in the evening of the 14th day of the first month in the sacred calendar every year. As its name imparts, the Church says that disasters pass over those who keep the Passover. It originated from the Exodus when the Israelites were protected from the disaster by putting the blood of the lamb on the sides and tops of the door frames of their houses.
The Church of God believes that Christ Ahnsahnghong is God in the age of the Holy Spirit because he restored the Passover of the new covenant, which was abolished at the Council of Nicaea in AD 325 after Jesus ascended. The Church of God says that it is the only church in the world, which keeps the Passover of the new covenant, following the regulations of the Bible on the correct day. This year, the Passover falls on April 5.
The Church of God keeps the seven feasts in three times according to the Bible including the Resurrection Day and the Feast of Tabernacles as well as the Passover, and it is known as the church that follows every regulation of the new covenant-the Sabbath, Baptism and the regulation on veil.

East Coast "Good Samaritan Movement" Raises “Food 4 Life”

“Over 5,000lbs of food raised to fight hunger in D.C. to honor Second Coming Christ Ahnsahnghong.”

Washington, DC (PRWEB) March 29, 2012

Members of the World Mission Society Church of God (WMSCOG) are participating from as far north as Boston to as far south as Virginia Beach to launch the “Food of Life Campaign”, a food donation program with a goal of collecting 40,000 pounds of food. Right now, over 640,000 local area residents in D.C are at risk of being hungry; 200,000 of them are children. (U.S. Census American Community Survey 2006-2008). Calling to action, members of the WMSCOG in DC were able to raise over 5,000lbs of food to donate to the Capitol Area Food Bank(CAFB), which is the largest, nonprofit hunger and nutrition education resource in the Washington Metropolitan area. The Food of Life Campaign was inspired by the teachings of Christ Ahnsahnghong, who re-established the New Covenant Passover, the true "food of life," which will be celebrated on April 5, 2012.
Two thousand years ago, Jesus promised that those who ate of this bread (His body) through the Passover of the New Covenant would live forever (Jn 6:51). After being abolished in AD 325, Christ came again with the name of Ahnsahnghong in 1948 to restore the Passover that is Christ's flesh and blood, and also the source of eternal life. Just as Jesus came as a humble carpenter delivering the "Bread of Life," the New Covenant Passover, so Christ Ahnsahnghong has come as the Second Coming Christ to restore the Passover truth at a time when people need it the most, a time when mankind is suffering the true hunger for eternal life. His great work of sacrifice became the foundation of the WMSCOG and the members now strive to follow in His footsteps as today's "Good Samaritans."
Through the Good Samaritan Movement, the members of the WMSCOG have taken on the mission of leading people to realize the importance of nurturing their spiritual health as well as physical health. Visit http://www.goodsamaritanmovement.org/ for more details and specific event information.
The World Mission Society Church of God teaches and proves the Second Coming of Christ and the existence of Heavenly Mother, The New Jerusalem. In only a few decades, membership has grown exponentially to over 1.6 million registered members with 2,200 churches in more than 150 countries. Newspapers and magazines around the world are recognizing the Church and its remarkable international growth. Recently, even BBC news interviewed one of its Manchester members to inquire about the Church's extraordinary beliefs. Its many volunteer services in 2011 earned the Church the President's Volunteer Service Award for completing over 17,000 hours of community service, as well as international awards of merit and a special commendation from the United Nations for its overseas disaster relief efforts. Every year members fly to Korea to visit God in the flesh: the Heavenly Mother.

Het Pesachmaal (laatste avondmaal) anno 2012

REGIO  |   26 maart 2012   |   reageer   |   Door agneta7974, dichtbij-meeschrijver

ROTTERDAM - Wil je het Pesachmaal vieren net zoals Jezus Christus het gevierd heeft 2000 jaren geleden? Kom dan vóór 5 april om je op het pesachfeest voor te bereiden, zodat je samen met ons in de Church of God, het Pesachmaal kunt eten en drinken op 5 april in de avondschemering aan het Slingeplein 1 te Rotterdam. Tot Ziens!

Het Pesachmaal van het nieuwe verbondHet Pesachmaal van het nieuwe verbond, dat voor de Kerk belangrijk is, is de dag waarop Jezus vergeving van zonden en eeuwig leven heeft beloofd aan degene die brood en wijn, dat voor Zijn lichaam en bloed staat, nuttigt. Jezus heeft dit nieuw verbond 2000 jaren geleden ingesteld, op de nacht voordat Hij werd gekruisigd.

Volgens de leer van Jezus Christus, houdt de Church of God het Pesachmaal door het eten van brood en het drinken van wijn elk jaar op de avond van de 14e dag van de eerste maand van de heilige kalender. De Kerk zegt dat rampen degene voorbij gaan die het Pesachmaal houdt. Het is afkomstig van Exodus toen de Israëlieten beschermd werden tegen de rampen door het strijken van het bloed van het lam aan de deurposten en aan de bovendorpel van hun huizen.

De Church of God gelooft dat Christus Ahnsahnghong God is in het tijdperk van de Heilige Geest, omdat Hij het Pesachmaal van het nieuwe verbond heeft hersteld, dat was afgeschaft bij de Concilie van Nicaea in het jaar 325 na Christus hemelvaart. De Church of God zegt dat het de enige kerk in de wereld is, die het Pesachmaal van het nieuwe verbond houdt, volgens de voorschriften van de Bijbel, op de juiste dag. Dit jaar valt het Pesachmaal op 5 April.

De Church of God houdt de zeven feesten in drie keer volgens de Bijbel, met in begrip van zowel Dag van Opstanding en het Loofhuttenfeest alsook het Pesachmaal en het staat  bekend als de kerk dat elke voorschrift van het nieuw verbond
naleeft— de Sabbat, Doop en het voorschrift van de sluier.

The Bride does not mean Mother, but the Church or the saints (Eph 5:22-27; 2 Co 11:2)-wmscog

Hello everyone~
Also today, we study about different meaning among the words in the bible. ♥

Those who slander the truth say, “The Bride does not mean Mother, but the Church or the saints (Eph 5:22-27; 2 Co 11:2).” Let’s find out why their insistence is contrary to the teachings of the Bible.
They know only one side of the story, not both sides. In the Bible, one word can have many different meanings. However, they are overlooking this fact.
 Their insistence is foolish slander from their fragmentary point of view on the Bible.
1. “Lamb” means both the saints and Jesus
Many times, Jesus is described as the “Shepherd” and the saints as the “lambs,” in the Bible.

Jn 10:10-11 “I [Jesus] have come that they may have life, and have it to the full . . . I am the good shepherd.”
Jn 21:15 Jesus said, “Feed my lambs.”
Here, lambs are the saints and the shepherd is Jesus. Then does it mean that the “lamb” can never be used to describe Jesus? That is not true.

Jn 1:29 The next day John saw Jesus coming toward him and said, “Look, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world!”
In John 1:29, the “Lamb” indicates Jesus who is the Savior, and the lambs in John 10:10 and 21:15 are the saints. Although lambs can mean the saints in the Bible, the Lamb who takes away the sin of the world in John 1:29 can only be our “Savior,” not the “saints.”
However, if someone tries to explain this matter in the way they explain about the Bride, they would have to say, “Lambs means the saints, so the Lamb can never mean Jesus,” or “Jesus is the Lamb, so He must be one of the saints.”
How foolish is this insistence?
2. The Bride of the “Lamb,” who gives the water of life, is Mother
It is the same with the expression, “the bride, the wife of the Lamb” (Rev 21:9-10). Sometimes, Christ and the saints [the church] are described as the husband and wife (Eph 5:22-27; 2 Co 11:2). However, the “bride of the Lamb” who gives the water of life in Revelation chapters 19, 21 and 22 is not the saints [the church], but the “Savior.”

Rev 22:17 The Spirit and the bride say, “Come!” And let him who hears say, “Come!” Whoever is thirsty, let him come; and whoever wishes, let him take the free gift of the water of life.
Here, if we interpreted the bride of the Holy Spirit as the “saints,” there would be a contradiction. It is because only God has the power of salvation and can give the water of life.
 In the age of the Father, God Jehovah, who was the Savior in the age of the Father, gave the water of life; and in the age of the Son, Jesus, who was the Savior in the age of the Son, gave the water of life (Jn 4:14; 7:37).
So, “the Holy Spirit and the Bride,” who give the water of life to the saints, are Christs, the Saviors in the age of the Holy Spirit. The Bride in Revelation 22 is the “heavenly Jerusalem” (Rev 21:9),
 and the heavenly Jerusalem is “our Mother.”

Gal 4:26 But the Jerusalem that is above is free, and she is our mother.
Here, who does “our” refer to? They are the saints who will be saved. So, Mother, who is the Bride of the Holy Spirit, is not the saints but their Mother who gives them the water of life.
Therefore, the insistence that “the Bride is the church, not Mother,” is non-biblical.

The one to come in Romans 5:14 is not about the second coming but about the first coming Christ-Church of God

Do you know the bible have many meaning of double or more than that?
This time let's think about first Adam, the last Adam and first coming christ ,second coming christ.
Actually, if you heard about that first time,maybe you can feel a little difficult.
But the bible is mystery. when we study more and more, that is easy and interesting more and more.
Are you ready? Let's start!

False arguments Those defaming our truth argue that “the one to come in Romans 5:14 is not about the second coming but about the first coming Christ.” Then, why is it not biblical?

[Answer]
1 Cor. 15:45-47 So it is written: “The first man Adam became a living being, THE LAST ADAM, a life-giving spirit. The spiritual did not come first, but the natural, and after that the spiritual. The first man was of the dust of the earth, the second man from heaven.

The saying,” They only know one side of the matter.” applies to this case.
“The one to come” in Romans 5:14 represents the first coming and at the same time, its important fulfillment is to be accomplished at His second coming.
Adam was created on the 6th day, the last day of 6 days of creation and 6 days of creation is the prophecy about 6000 years God’s salvation works.
So, last Adam primarily represents the first coming Jesus but secondarily, it indicates the second coming Jesus who is to appear in the end of 6000 years of His salvation works.
Therefore, the argument that “Adam is the one to come (Rome 5:14) is about His first coming, not the second coming” is not biblical without understanding the bible properly.

More people, fewer volunteer hours given in Alberta: report

By Elise Stolte, edmontonjournal.com March 21, 2012

About 45 volunteers from World Mission Society Church of God swept the sidewalks and picked up garbage on 97th Street north of 118th Avenue. The volunteers were participating in a worldwide environmental cleanup campaign.

EDMONTON - More Albertans are volunteering but giving fewer hours, says the executive director of Volunteer Alberta.
Reacting Wednesday to a report released by Statistics Canada, Karen Lynch said that means more volunteers have to be found.
Statistics Canada found the volunteer rate increased nearly seven per cent from 2004-10, with 55 per cent of Albertans reporting they volunteer.
Those volunteers gave an average 172 hours in 2007, but 140 hours in 2010.
Lynch, whose organization was formed to support not-for-profit organizations and encourage volunteers, said the challenge is that people approach volunteering differently than in the past. Older generations, more closely tied to farming communities, tended to volunteer as a matter of course.
Volunteer organizations thought baby boomers would react the same way when they retired, but she has found they look for volunteer opportunities on their own terms, including more flexibility.
This generation “decided what they were looking for was balancing recreation and responsibility,” Lynch said. They set the terms and ask to be accommodated. “The vast number of non-profits are not prepared to do that,” she said.

JERUSALEM MOTHER-ahnsahnghong

JERUSALEM MOTHER

hello visitors~After reading blog, please write your comments.  haha~

enjoy your time~~

The Church of God only follows the teachings of the Bible and believes in the Second Coming Christ Ahnsahnghong and Jerusalem Mother.

In the Bible, God is referred to through plural terms instead of singular terms, and it is written that God has a male image and a female image. Therefore, God exists in the male image and in the female image.

Have you ever thought about why we call God our Father?

It is written that God’s invisible qualities have been clearly seen and can be understood through what has been made (Rom. 1:20). Is there any creature that is given life through only their father, alone, without a mother being present?

We need to study this matter carefully.

The Bible calls us “the children of promise.”

Gal. 4:28 『Now you, brothers, like Isaac, are children of promise.』

Then, what promise did God make to those who are called the children of promise? God promised them eternal life.

1 John 2:25 『And this is what he promised us?even eternal life.』

How is eternal life given to us? The Bible says that all things were created by God’s will (Rev. 4:11). Among all of the many creatures that God has created, let us focus on the mothers. Since it is written that God created all things by His will, a certain will of God was expressed when He created mothers on this earth. As you know, all creatures have a mother figure. There is not a single creature that can come into existence without a mother.

Our physical life is given to us through our physical mother. For 280 days, a baby’s hands, feet, eyes and ears form within his mother’s womb. When the time comes, the mother will give birth to her child, shedding blood. We are given life through our mother’s great pain. How about our spiritual life? Just as our physical life was given to us through our physical mother, our spiritual life is given to us through our spiritual Mother.

The Bible clearly testifies that our heavenly Mother exists, and that only our heavenly Mother can give us eternal life.

God’s Two Images

Let us study through the Bible to discover the existence of our spiritual Mother.

Gen. 1:26-27 『Then God said, “Let us make man in our image, in our likeness…” So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them.』

The above verse states that God has two images?a male image and a female image. Until now, we have only known and called upon the male image of God: “Father.” Then how should we call upon the female image of God? Logically, we should refer to God’s female image as “Mother.” This is why God had said, “Let us make man in our image, in our likeness.”

The word “us” is a plural term. “Elohim,” the Hebrew word used in place of “God” in Genesis 1:26, directly translates to “Gods,” the plural form of the word “God.” Therefore, the references to “us” in the book of Genesis refer to God the Father and God the Mother. Some say that the word “us” in this verse indicates God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit. If this argument is correct, there should be three types of people in the world?those who were made in the image of God the Father, those who resemble the image of God the Son, and those created in the image of the Holy Spirit. However, on this earth there are only two types of people: men and women. Therefore, the “Gods” mentioned in Genesis 1:26 are the male image of God and the female image of God?God the Father and God the Mother.

The Will of God in Creating Eve, Adam’s Wife

Let us study more truth regarding the heavenly Mother through the character Adam, written in the book of Romans.

Rom. 5:14 『. . . Adam, who was a pattern of the one to come.』

Since the book of Romans was written after Jesus had already ascended, the “one to come” mentioned in the above verse indicates the Second Coming Jesus. Adam was created to lead us to the Second Coming Jesus. Then, what was God’s will in creating Eve, Adam’s wife?

Gen. 2:21 『So the LORD God caused the man to fall into a deep sleep; and while he was sleeping, he took one of the man’s ribs and closed up the place with flesh.』

Gen. 3:20 『Adam named his wife Eve, because she would become the mother of all the living.』

The name “Eve” means “life.” Eve was called “the mother of all the living.” God’s intent in creating Adam was to reveal the Second Coming Jesus, our heavenly Father, and Eve was created to reveal the Second Coming Jesus’ wife, our heavenly Mother. In other words, just as Eve was called “the mother of all the living,” we can only be given eternal life through our heavenly Mother. Eve represents our heavenly Mother.

“I Will Raise Him Up at the Last Day”

Two thousand years ago, Jesus said, repeatedly, that He would wait until the last day to raise up all of the people who came to Him (John 6:39, 40, 44. 54). Why did Jesus need to wait until the last day to save His people? What was He waiting for? The account of the six-day Creation in the book of Genesis, chapter one represents the spiritual Creation which would take place over six thousand years. Just as the six-day Creation ended after Eve had appeared, so would the six-thousand year spiritual Creation end with the appearance of our spiritual Mother. Jesus could have given His people life during His first coming; however, Jesus waited for the appearance of the heavenly Mother because life would be given through Her.

The Wedding of the Lamb

Let’s study some of the testimonies about Mother written in the book of Revelation.

Rev. 19:7 『Let us rejoice and be glad and give him glory! For the wedding of the Lamb has come, and his bride has made herself ready.』

The book of Revelation was written after Jesus had ascended, and it prophesied about the things that were to happen in the last days. Thus, “the Lamb” mentioned in the above verse indicates the Second Coming Jesus: Ahnsahnghong. When Jesus came to the earth for the first time, two thousand years ago, His wife was not yet ready. The Bride, the wife of the Lamb, would appear in the last days.

In the book of Revelation, chapter 21, the Bride the wife of the Lamb is described as “Jerusalem.”

Rev. 21:9-10 『. . . One of the seven angels who had the seven bowls full of the seven last plagues came and said to me, “Come, I will show you the bride, the wife of the Lamb.” And he . . . showed me the Holy City, Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God.』

Apostle Paul testified that this Holy City, Jerusalem, which would come down out of heaven, is our Mother.

Gal. 4:26 『But the Jerusalem that is above is free, and she is our mother.』

Children of the Free Woman

Apostle Paul testified that we are the children of promise, the children of the free woman, because we have been given the promise of eternal life from our heavenly Mother.

Gal. 4:28 『Now you, brothers, like Isaac, are children of promise.』

Gal. 4:31 『Therefore, brothers, we are not children of the slave woman, but of the free woman.』

If we are the children of the free woman, what should we call Her? We should call Her our “Mother.” We cannot have eternal life unless we receive the heavenly Mother. Eternal life, which God has promised us, is given through the heavenly Mother.

In this last age, we need our Jerusalem Mother who has been established by Christ Ahnsahnghong the Second Coming Jesus. Let us believe in Christ Ahnsahnghong, the Holy Spirit, and in Jerusalem Mother, the Bride, so that we can receive eternal life.

29th January, there was a very big festival in China town, in the city centre and it caused a large amount of rubbish to be spread in the surrounding area. As the Church of God is practising the love of second coming Christ Ahnsahnghong they felt it their duty to help and clean up.

They cleaned Elmira way, back of Tesco and Fit City Ordsall on 29th of January, Sunday. The Church of God carried out cleaning in morning and afternoon and collected around 150 litters plus bulk rubbish such as woods, metals and etc. 

The Blood Drive and Environmental Cleanup Campaign on a global scale to heal the sick earth is to be carried out in 150 countries including UK all together. It is the “2012 Worldwide Blood Drive and Environmental Cleanup campaign for the Passover” held by the World Mission Society Church of God (General Pastor Kim Joo-cheol).

The Church of God says that the purpose of this cleanup campaign is to “practice the love of the Passover of the new covenant, which was restored by Ahnsahnghong the Christ who came a second time.” The Church adds that it is also to “inform people of the seriousness of environmental pollution and save lives through blood donation.”

The campaign is to be carried out in about 2,200 places of 150 countries where the branches of the Church of God have been established; including the United Kingdom, United States, South America, Europe, Asia, Oceania and Africa will carry out the campaign together. The Church says that it will keep holding the campaign by April 5, the sacred Assembly of the Passover 2012.

As they carry it out in cooperation with government offices located in each region such as city council, public community centers, it is expected to greatly arouse people’s attention on the importance of giving blood in order to help save lives of many people and environmental pollution.

In Bury, around 100 members of the Church will donate blood and clean up the streets on 4th, 11th 18th March.

The Passover of the new covenant, which the Church regards as important, is the day when Jesus Christ promised the forgiveness of sins and eternal life to those who have bread and wine representing His flesh and blood; Jesus established this new covenant on the night before He was crucified 2,000 years ago.

Following the teaching of Jesus Christ, the Church of God keeps the Passover by eating bread and drinking wine in the evening of the 14th day of the first month in the sacred calendar every year.

As it is name imparts, the Church says that disasters pass over that disasters pass over those who keep the Passover. It originated from the Exodus when the Israelites were protected from the disaster by putting the blood of the lamb on the sides and tops of the doorframes of their houses.

The Church of God believes that Christ Ahnsahnghong is God in the age of the Holy Spirit because he restored the Passover of the new covenant, which was abolished at the Council of Nicaea in A.D. 325 after Jesus ascended. The Church of God says that it is the only church in the world, which keeps the Passover of the new covenant, following the regulations of the Bible on the correct day. This year, the Passover falls on 5th April.

The Church of God keeps the seven feasts in three times according to the Bible including the Resurrection Day and the Feast of Tabernacles as well as the Passover, and it is known as the church that follows every regulation of the new covenant-the Sabbath, Baptism and the regulation of veil.
