What Is the Difference Between Christianity and the Church of Almighty God?

What Is the Difference Between Christianity and the Church of Almighty God?

Christianity and The Church of Almighty God believe in the same God. People who understand the history of religion know that Judaism in Israel was born of the work that Jehovah God did in the Age of Law. Christianity, Catholicism, and Eastern Orthodoxy were all churches that emerged after the incarnate Lord Jesus did the work of redemption. The Church of Almighty God came to be when God became flesh during the last days to do the work of judgment. Christians in the Age of Grace read the Old and New Testament of the Bible, and Christians of The Church of Almighty God in the Age of Kingdom now read The Word Appears in the Flesh, which was personally spoken by God in the last days. Christianity abides by the work of redemption that the Lord Jesus did in the Age of Grace, and The Church of Almighty God accepts the work of judgment of the last days of the returned Lord Jesus, Almighty God.

Are Almighty God and the Lord Jesus One God?

Are Almighty God and the Lord Jesus One God?

When mankind was corrupted by Satan, God began His management plan for the salvation of mankind. God has carried out three stages of work for the salvation of mankind. During the Age of Law, Jehovah God issued the laws and guided the life of mankind, making people know that they should worship God, and making them know what sin is. But with the arrival of the final stages of the Age of Law, mankind’s corruption became ever more profound, and people often violated the laws and sinned against Jehovah. They faced the risk of being condemned and put to death because of their violations.

How Did The Church of Almighty God Come Into Existence?

How Did The Church of Almighty God Come Into Existence?

Like the churches of Christianity, The Church of Almighty God came into existence because of the work of God become flesh. The churches of Christianity came to be because of the appearance and work of the Lord Jesus become flesh, and The Church of Almighty God came to be because of the appearance and work of the incarnate Almighty God of the last days. Thus, churches throughout the ages have been produced because of the appearance and work of God become flesh. The work of each step of God’s incarnation expresses many truths, and many people come to accept and follow God because of these truths expressed by God, thus giving rise to the churches.

Why Does God Take the Name of Almighty God in the Age of Kingdom?

Why Does God Take the Name of Almighty God in the Age of Kingdom?

A lot of people don’t understand why, since Almighty God is the return of the Lord Jesus in the last days, the Lord Jesus is called Almighty God when He comes to do the work of judgment in the last days. Why doesn’t He carry on being called the Lord Jesus? In fact, God has a new name each time He does a stage of His work. This new name is taken by God Himself as befits the work—it is not something that people call Him as they please. The name God takes in each stage of work has its basis in the Bible.

Woe to Those Who Crucify God Once Again

Woe to Those Who Crucify God Once Again

During the last days, God has been incarnated in China to work, and has expressed millions of words, conquering and saving a group of people with His word and ushering in the new age of judgment beginning with the house of God. Today, the spreading of God’s work during the last days has reached its climax in Mainland China. Most of the people in the Catholic Church and all Christian denominations and sects who pursue the truth have returned before God’s throne. The incarnate God has accomplished the work of “the Son of man’s secret coming” prophesied in the Bible, and will soon appear publicly to every nation and place in the world. All people in every nation and place who thirst for God’s appearance will look upon God’s public appearance.

A Brief Introduction About the Background of the Appearance and Work of Christ of the Last Days in China

A Brief Introduction About the Background of the Appearance and Work of Christ of the Last Days in China

China is the land where the great red dragon resides, and is the place that has resisted and condemned God most severely throughout history. China is like a fortress of demons and a prison controlled by the devil, impenetrable and impermeable. Furthermore, the regime of the great red dragon stands guard at all levels and has set up defenses in every household. As a result, nowhere is more difficult to spread God’s gospel and carry out the work of God. When the Chinese Communist Party came to power in 1949, religious belief in Mainland China was completely suppressed and banned. Millions of Christians suffered public humiliation and torture, and imprisonment.

(1) The Tenets of The Church of Almighty God

The tenets of Christianity originate from the Bible, and the tenets of The Church of Almighty God originate from all of the truths that have been expressed by God since the time of creation during the work of the Age of Law, Age of Grace, and Age of Kingdom. That is to say, the Old Testament, the New Testament, and the Bible of the Age of Kingdom—The Word Appears in the Flesh—expressed by the returned Lord Jesus of the last days, Almighty God, are the basic beliefs and the tenets of The Church of Almighty God. The Old Testament records Jehovah God’s work of decreeing laws and commandments and guiding the life of man during the Age of Law; the New Testament records the work of redemption carried out by the Lord Jesus during the Age of Grace;

Movie Clip (3) - Can We Be Raptured Into the Kingdom of Heaven After Accepting Redemption From Lord Jesus?

Introduction

    Based on Lord Jesus' words on the cross "It is finished," pastors and elders of religious circles habitually conclude that God's work of salvation of mankind was thus finished. Upon the return of the Lord, believers would be received into the kingdom of heaven, with no need for any work of purifying and saving people. Does the viewpoint of the pastors and elders accord with the words of God? To what was Lord Jesusultimately referring, when He said "It is finished" on the cross? Why would God want to express truth during the last days, doing the work of judging and purifying people?

The Spreading of Almighty God’s Kingdom Gospel in China

The Spreading of Almighty God’s Kingdom Gospel in China

In 1995, the work of testifying to the kingdom gospel of Almighty God formally began in Mainland China. Through our gratitude to God and with a love that was true, we testified to the appearance and work of Almighty God to the brothers and sisters in various denominations and sects. Little did we expect to suffer extreme resistance and slander from their leaders. We could only come before Almighty God to pray earnestly, beseeching God to work in person. From 1997 onward, we beheld the Holy Spirit work on a great scale. There was a rapid increase in the members of churches in various locations. At the same time, many signs and wonders occurred, and many people in various denominations and sects returned to Almighty God as a result of receiving God’s revelations or seeing these signs and wonders.

God’s Chastisement and Judgment Is the Light of Man’s Salvation

To be cleansed in your lifetime, to be changed in disposition,

to live out a life of meaning, to fulfill your duty as a creature,

you have to accept God’s chastisement, His judgment on your sinful ways.

You can’t try to escape His discipline that frees you from control of Satan.

You must let God smite and deal with you.

So you can break free from the influence of Satan,

the force that holds you in its sway,

and you can live, and you can live, and you can live more in the light of God.

Introduction

    Zheng Xinming, an elderly man of nearly seventy, is a devout Christian. Because of his faith in the Lord, he was detained and imprisoned, and sentenced to eight years. On his release, he was still listed by the Chinese Communist police as a target of focused monitoring. In particular, after the old man accepted Almighty God's work in the last days, the police came almost every day to terrorize, intimidate and disturb him. There was no way that Zheng Xinming could normally read the word of God at home, and even his family members shared his state of anxiety. Now it is New Year's Eve and the old man is at home reading God's word, not knowing what may happen …

Eastern Lightning | The Only Way to Avoid Disaster

 the Church of Almighty God picture

October 29, 2017

Chaotuo Xiaogan City, Hubei Province

    Ever since the Sichuan earthquake, I have always been fearful and worried that I might someday be struck by disaster. Particularly as I’ve seen disasters escalating, and earthquakes becoming more frequent, my fear of impending doom has become even more pronounced. As a result, I spend whole days pondering what precautions I should take to protect myself should an earthquake hit.

    One day, at lunch, the sister of my host family turned on the TV as usual, and the newscaster just happened to be talking about earthquake safety measures. In the event of an earthquake, you should quickly run outdoors into an open space to avoid being injured by a falling building. If you cannot evacuate in time, you should hide under a bed, table or in a corner…. After hearing this, I felt as though I found a life-saving solution, and quickly committed these precautionary measures to memory, so I could save my own life in case an earthquake hit.

Eastern Lightning | The Vision of God’s Work (1)

The Vision of God’s Work (1)

    Almighty God says, John worked seven years for Jesus, and had already paved the way when Jesus arrived. Before this, the gospel of the kingdom of heaven preached by John was heard throughout the land, so that it spread across Judea, and everyone called him a prophet. At the time, King Herod wished to kill John, yet he did not dare, for the people held John in high regard, and Herod feared that if he killed John they would revolt against him. The work done by John took root among the common people, and he made believers of the Jews. For seven years he paved the way for Jesus, right up until the time that Jesus began to perform His ministry. And so, John was the greatest of all the prophets. Jesus only began His official work after the imprisonment of John.

Eastern Lightning | Work and Entry (2)

Work and Entry (2)

    Almighty God says, Your work and entry are quite poor; man does not place importance on work and is even more careless with entry. Man does not regard these as lessons that they ought to enter into; therefore, in their spiritual experience, virtually all man sees is fantastical illusions. Not very much is asked of you in terms of your experience in work, but, as one to be perfected by God, you ought to learn to work for God so that you may soon be after God’s heart. Throughout the ages, those who did work have been called workers or apostles, which refers to a small number of people used by God. However, the work I speak of today does not refer solely to those workers or apostles; it is directed toward all those to be perfected by God. Perhaps there are many who have little interest in this, but, for the sake of entry, it would be best to discuss this truth.

Eastern Lightning | The Path … (1)

The Path … (1)

Almighty God says, In their lifetime, no person knows what kind of setbacks they’re going to encounter, nor do they know what kind of refinement they will be subject to. For some it’s in their work, for some it’s in their future prospects, for some it’s in their family of origin, and for some it’s in their marriage. But what’s different from them is that today we, this group of people, are suffering for the word of God. That is, as someone who serves God, we have suffered setbacks on the path of believing in Him, and this is the path that all believers take and it is the road underneath all of our feet. It is from this point that we officially begin our course of believing in God, raise the curtain on our lives as human beings, and enter onto the right path of life.

Christian Song | God Is Sovereign Over all Things | "None Can Hinder God's Work"

Christian Song | God Is Sovereign Over all Things | "None Can Hinder God's Work"

Introduction

God’s work, God’s work, none can ever hinder God’s work.

When God promised Abraham that he would have a son,

he thought it impossible, he thought it was a joke.

Whatever man does or thinks, it’s not relevant to God.

All proceed by God’s time and plan; that’s the rule of His work.

God’s management, immune to things and man.

All will be done on time as designed.

None can ever hinder God’s work, God’s work.

None can ever hinder God’s work.
