XI. One Must Fellowship Clearly the Aspect of Truth Concerning the Relationship Between God and the Bible

3. The Bible was compiled by man, not by God; the Bible cannot represent God.

Bible Verses for Reference:

“Search the scriptures; for in them you think you have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me. And you will not come to me, that you might have life” (Jhn 5:39-40)

“I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man comes to the Father, but by me” (Jhn 14:6)

At this extraordinary moment, at this exhilarating time, in heaven above, and down below, all are singing, singing praises. At this, who is not excited? At this, who’s not light of heart? Facing this, who does not shed tears? Heaven, no more the heaven of old, is the heaven of the kingdom. Earth, no more the former earth, is a place of sanctity. After a mighty rain, the foul old world is completely changed. Mountains and waters are changing…

2. The religious world believes that all scripture is given by the inspiration of God and it is all the words of God; how should one have discernment toward this statement?

Relevant Words of God:

Not everything in the Bible is a record of the words personally spoken by God. The Bible simply documents the previous two stages of God’s work, of which one part is a record of the foretellings of the prophets, and one part is the experiences and knowledge written by people used by God throughout the ages. Human experiences are tainted with human opinions and knowledge, which is unavoidable.

30 Once So Foolish, I Have Finally Woken Up Today

Chen Xing

Nanyang City, Henan Province

I was formerly a preacher of the “Praise Church.” Since May 1999, I had often heard the elders say, “The ‘Eastern Lightning’ is a cult. Those people are together committing adultery. If you don’t obey them, they will cut off your ears, gouge out your eyes, or even cut your flesh into pieces. They will also trick you into going somewhere outside the town and shut you into a basement… These people are very crafty. They specially go to deceive people in various churches. If any stranger comes to our church, we must inspect him and verify his identity. If there is any flaw in it, he must be from the ‘Eastern Lightning.’ Then drive him away immediately…” So, I kept the elders’ “good words” in mind and went around telling the brothers and sisters not to accept the “Eastern Lightning,” and I also told them that it was the deception of Satan. When I myself met the preachers of the “Eastern Lightning,” I refused them all relentlessly, and I even told the brothers and sisters in what harsh ways I treated those preachers and how I drove them away so that they could learn from me. I, being so foolish, did many things resisting Almighty God. In the end, it was under Almighty God’s enlightenment and illumination that I woke up.

17. Gossip Is a “Fearful” Thing

Li Zhong

Jiyuan City, Henan Province

Whenever I remember that in those gloomy days, I was fooled and deceived by satan and therefore dared not accept God’s new work, I even more loathe and abhor satan and all the schemes it employed.

At that time, my wife and I were both key co-workers of the Praise Church. In the meetings, we often heard our leader say, “People of ‘the Eastern Lightning’ are extremely vicious and full of wiles. They have a connection with the underworld. Once they fasten on you, if you don’t accept, they will harm you in secret. Several people will follow you secretly, suddenly bring you to the ground, and then break your legs with steel bars and run away. In other places there are many people whose ears have been cut off or eyes have been gouged out by them. Or they will buy you off with money, giving you eight or ten thousand yuan. Or they will give you whatever you lack. What’s more infuriating is that they are promiscuous, licentious and corrupt….” These appalling words scared us so much that we dared not go out, both feeling fear and detestation of “the Eastern Lightning.”

1. The Bible is only a record of God’s two stages of work in the Age of Law and the Age of Grace; it is not a record of the entirety of God’s work.

Bible Verses for Reference:

“I have yet many things to say to you, but you cannot bear them now. However, when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will show you things to come” (Jhn 16:12-13).

“He that has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches” (Rev 2:17).

“Behold, the Lion of the tribe of Juda, the Root of David, has prevailed to open the book, and to loose the seven seals thereof” (Rev 5:5).

9. A Confession

Yang Xiaohui

Jiyuan City, Henan Province

I—a great sinner guilty beyond forgiveness!

Before God I have committed monstrous sins. I resisted the Almighty God’s end-time work by every possible means all along. I even condemned and blasphemed God’s flesh, burned up the book of the Almighty God’s word, and beat, abused, and insulted the brothers and sisters many times who preached God’s new work. However, the Almighty God, who is full of mercy and love, did not put me to death but stretched out his hand of salvation and gave me the opportunity to be saved. Today, facing God’s grace of salvation, I am in floods of tears and overwhelmed with sorrow and regret….

         God’s kingdom is expanding in humanity’s midst. It is forming in humanity’s midst. It is standing up in humanity’s midst. There is not any force that can destroy God’s kingdom. People in the kingdom of today, which of you is not one of the human race, or lies outside the human condition? When God’s new starting point is announced to the multitude, how will humanity react? You’ve seen with your own eyes the state of mankind. Do you still harbor hopes of enduring forever in this world? God is now walking in the midst of His people.

I. Typical Testimonies of the Christians and Catholics in Mainland China Who Turned to Almighty God Because of Receiving Dreams and the Revelations of the Holy Spirit

(50 Testimonies Selected)

1．Ji XX, female, aged 56, from Henan Province, formerly a leader in the Justification by Faith Church. Starting from 1996, some people preached God’s end-time work to me, but I never accepted it. At the end of 2000, God’s end-time salvation came to me again. Although I accepted it, I still had doubts about it in my heart. Not long afterward, several leaders from my former church came again to invite me to their meeting. I did not know how to choose, so I prayed to God and asked God to show me a way ahead. That night, I dreamed that I was walking in the street. Suddenly, I saw many monsters before me. They were in human clothes, but they had faces of tigers, leopards, wolves, insects, or the hanged men…. I was frightened and I darted into a hotel.

The Kingdom of God Is Come | Gospel Song | "God's Name Will Be Magnified Among the Gentile Nations" 

      The purpose of God’s judgment is to encourage man’s obedience; the purpose of God’s chastisement is to allow for man’s transformation. Though God’s work is for His management’s sake, none of what He does isn’t good to man. God wants the lands beyond Israel to obey as the Israelites did, to make them into real men, so that in the lands beyond Israel God’s foothold shall be gained. This is the management of God. It’s His work in the lands of the Gentiles.
