What Is the Criterion to Distinguish Heresy? There are great figures who are admired by all people of the world today such as Galileo Galilei the great scientist who made a telescope, Joan of Arc a national heroine who saved France in the Hundred Years’ War, Apostle Paul a model of faith to all Christians of the world, and Jesus Christ who came in the flesh to save sinners 2,000 years ago. However, they were all branded as heretics by the religious power of that time. Then, what about the World Mission Society Church of God? Is it heretical or authentic? It is the authentic church established by God and has the truth of the new covenant.

The Bible Testifies About God the Father and God the Mother In 1948, the Second Coming Christ came to Korea in flesh, according to the prophecies of the fig tree and Israel’s prophets. Christ Ahnsahnghong, who brought the Passover bread and wine, which represent His flesh and blood, and granted eternal life to mankind, is the Second Coming Christ. While they were eating, Jesus took bread, and when he had given thanks, he broke it and gave it to his disciples, saying, “Take and eat; this is my body.” Then he took a cup, and when he had given thanks, he gave it to them, saying, “Drink from it, all of you. This is my blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many for the forgiveness of sins.” Matthew 26:26–28

The Word “Elohim” Testifies About God the Mother Most Christians today believe that there is only God the Father, but the original text of the Bible refers to God as Elohim. It means there is not only God the Father. The Church of God believes in God Elohim, the Second Coming Christ Ahnsahnghong and God the Mother. Then God said, “Let us make mankind in our image, in our likeness, . . .” So God created mankind in his own image, in the image of God he created them; male and female he created them. Genesis 1:26–27

If We Have God the Father, Then, Why Don’t We Have God the Mother? Biblical scholars insist, “The ‘we’ in Genesis refers to the Trinity.” However, their assertion shows their lack of understanding about the Trinity, a fundamental truth of Christianity. The existence of man and woman, who were created in the image of God, proves that God the Father and God the Mother exist. The World Mission Society Church of God believes in God the Mother, who appeared in flesh in this age according to the prophecies of the Bible and gives eternal life to mankind. Then God said, “Let us make mankind in our image, in our likeness, . . . So God created mankind in his own image, in the image of God he created them; male and female he created them. Genesis 1:26–27

ASEZ WAO volunteers from the World Mission Society Church of God in Cerritos, Los Angeles, Orange County, and Torrance came together on Sunday, November 17, 2024 to host a Beautification Project & Park Cleanup at Riverview Park in the City of Bellflower. A total of 150 volunteers participated in the beautification project with enthusiasm and excitement to bring Mother’s love to the community. With the mind of Mother, ASEZ WAO volunteers fully embraced the idea that “We Are One” family and were eager to show sincere love to all humankind, starting with their local communities. First, volunteers spanned the entire park to pick up any litter and plastic waste products that not only hindered the park’s aesthetics, but also posed a threat to the environment’s sustainability. Since the park was often frequented by residents and visitors, and was also inconsistently maintained, the area was susceptible to trash buildup. Thanks to God’s grace and united efforts, 60 bags of trash were collected. In addition to cleaning the area, the ASEZ WAO volunteers worked in collaboration with the City of Bellflower Parks & Recreation Department, who provided the sod and plants to properly beautify the area. The volunteers joyfully took action to properly till the soil beds, lay the sod, and plant various kinds of plants and seedlings. Overall, 880 square feet of sodding was laid and 500 plants were planted in the former desolate space. While the volunteers enthusiastically cleaned and beautified the park with bright smiles, local residents and passers-by expressed their gratitude for their efforts and shared how the renovated space created a happier and welcoming environment for all. Not only did the park look more inviting, but it also promoted a safe environment for people of all ages to enjoy.

What sparks the passion of the youth in the Church of God? Every year, the Church of God in South Africa hosts an inspiring youth camp for young adult members from across Africa. This dynamic event is filled with uplifting activities such as games, singing, dancing, and—most importantly—fellowship through the Words of God. The camp is designed to strengthen the faith of young adults and equip them to be the salt and light of the world. As their hearts are renewed with spiritual strength and joy, they return to their universities and workplaces empowered to share God’s love and lead by example.
