#3 CCP Schemes to Challenge the Legitimacy of The Church of Almighty God in HK - Massimo Introvigne

#3 CCP Schemes to Challenge the Legitimacy of The Church of Almighty God in HK - Massimo Introvigne
    On November 20–21, 2017, in just two days, seventeen reports attacking The Church of Almighty God (CAG) were published intensively on Ta Kung Pao and Wen Wei Po, the mouthpiece media of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) in Hong Kong (HK), citing the rumors and fallacies consistently fabricated by the CCP to discredit and condemn the CAG. These reports criticized HK’s present approval system for civil society groups as too simple and loose, compared to that during the British colonial period, when applications for the registration of societies must be reviewed by the Special Branch of MI5.

The Chinese Communist Party Uses "Cult" as a Pretext to Persecute Religious Beliefs


The Chinese Communist Party Uses "Cult" as a Pretext to Persecute Religious Beliefs

    Since the Chinese Communist Party took power, it has been frantically suppressing religious beliefs. The Chinese Communist Party's religious policy and China's human rights conditions have been roundly denounced by democratic countries and international human rights organizations. China's definition of "cult" and its use of cult as a pretext to attack religious beliefs have particularly drawn serious doubts and criticisms of the international community. The guests in this episode are Professor Massimo Introvigne, founder and director of the Center for Studies on New Religions in Italy and Professor Holly Folk from the University of Western Washington of the United States.

    From November 20 to November 21, 2017, Ta Kung Pao and Wen Wei Po, two mouthpieces of the Chinese Communist Party in Hong Kong, released 17 reports intensively to attack The Church of Almighty God, all in a span of two days. These reports cited the rumors and fallacies the CCP always uses to slander and condemn The Church of Almighty God, among which “cult” is the word of the highest frequency. As to this word the CCP uses to condemn the church, Professor Massimo Introvigne, a sociologist from Italy, the founder and director of the Center for Studies on New Religions, who has attended two international anti-cult academic conferences held by the CCP, will make his remarks in this episode.

Willy Fautré: South Korea Should Give Refugee Status to Asylum Seekers of The Church of Almighty God


Willy Fautré: South Korea Should Give Refugee Status to Asylum Seekers of The Church of Almighty God

    Willy Fautré: South Korea is a democratic country, like all the members of the European Union, like the United States and many others. So, they should abide by international law. They have signed and ratified a number of international standards. And, they should not send back those 150 people of The Church of Almighty God to China. I think they want to be blind and to be deaf, not to see and not to hear anything that is written and spread around about the situation of The Church of Almighty God. We’ve already sent a message to the South Korean authorities, saying, “Please don’t send them back to China, or you’ll send them to jail, or maybe death.”

Willy Fautré: EU Members Should Stop Repatriating Asylum-Seekers From The Church of Almighty God


Willy Fautré: EU Members Should Stop Repatriating Asylum-Seekers From The Church of Almighty God

    Mr. Willy Fautré: And it was time to deconstruct the negative impact and effect of the fake news of China, to reveal the reality in order to be able to convince the authorities of the countries where they’re looking for a safe haven that they should be accepted as politically persecuted Christians and that they should be granted a safe haven in all the countries where they apply for asylum. And, that’s what we are now in the process of. So, convincing not only public opinions, but also decision-makers, political decision makers, and others that those people are peaceful, they don’t present any threat to the State security or to human security in any country where they are. They’ve not committed any act of violence.

Resolve to be Born Again - "Offer Love to God" (Official Music Video)

Resolve to be Born Again - "Offer Love to God" (Official Music Video)


Introduction

Offer Love to God
God became flesh and came among us.
He’s suffered all humiliations for saving us.
But I didn’t know Him, misunderstood and complained against Him.
My repeated rebelliousness and resistance grieved His heart so much.
Dear Almighty God, You pay no regard to my transgressions.
You’ve endured much of my rebelliousness and today show me grace again.

Be Faithful to The End - "I Wish to See the Day God Gains Glory" (Official Music Video)


Introduction

I
Today I suffer for God; tomorrow I will inherit God’s blessings.
To see the day God gains glory, I’m willing to give up my youth and offer up my whole life.
Ah! God’s love has enchanted my heart,
and I can never leave You again.
I’m willing to drink up the bitter cup, and exchange my whole life for sufferings.
I don’t complain about wrongs or humiliations. I’m willing to repay God’s grace all my life.
