Almighty God's Words "Those Incompatible With Christ Are Surely Opponents of God"


Almighty God's Words "Those Incompatible With Christ Are Surely Opponents of God"

Introduction
    Almighty God says, "You always wish to see Christ, but I exhort you not to exalt yourselves so; everyone may see Christ, but I say none are fit to see Christ. Because the nature of man is filled with evil, arrogance, and rebellion, when you see Christ, your nature will ruin you and condemn you to death. Your association with a brother (or a sister) may not show much about you, but it is not so simple when you associate with Christ. At any time, your conceptions may take root, your arrogance bud, and your rebellion bear figs. How can you with such humanity be fit to associate with Christ?
