[World Mission Society church of God] Sunday was kept because collections (offerings) were made on the first day of every week?

The World Mission Society Church of God believes Christ Ahnsahnghong and heavenly mother who came as savioirs in the age of holy spirit according to all propecies of the Bible



Some claim that the Sabbath day of the Old Testament has been changed to Sunday in the time of the New Testament because collections (offerings) were made on the first day of every week or every Sunday by quoting 1 Corinthians 16:2.


Now about the collection for God's people: Do what I told the Galatian churches to do. On the first day of every week (Every Sunday: GNT), each one of you should set aside a sum of money in keeping with his income, saving it up, so that when I come no collections will have to be made. (1 Corinthians 16:1-2)


I feel pity for their efforts to find evidence of the Sunday service which is not found on the Bible. First, the above verse is not a record of worshiping on Sundays and giving offerings. The Apostle Paul said, “When I come no collections will have to be made (KJV: There be no gatherings when I come).” If it had been a regular collection, it should have been made whether the Apostle Paul came or not, shouldn’t it? If fact, the collection mentioned above was a special offering for helping out the Jerusalem Church.


There is no need for me to write to you about this service to the saints… So I thought it necessary to urge the brothers to visit you in advance and finish the arrangements for the generous gift [KJV: bounty] you had promised. Then it will be ready as a generous gift, not as one grudgingly given… This service that you perform is not only supplying the needs of God's people but is also overflowing in many expressions of thanks to God. (2 Corinthians 9:1-12)

It’s wrong to insist that it’s evidence that the Sunday service was kept by citing the verse which is not about a regular offering but a special offering.  In addition, it’s also not a record of worshiping on the first day of every week. On the contrary, it proves that they worked on the first day of every week. It’s written, “On the first day of every week, each one of you should set aside a sum of money in keeping with his income (GNT: Every Sunday each of you must put aside some money, in proportion to what you have earned).” It means that they must put aside some money, in proportion to what they have earned on Sunday. To earn money on the first day of the week, they must have worked on Sundays, mustn’t they? In other words, the verse of matter means that they must put aside some money earned on the first day of every week in advance not to be in hurry to collect the special offering when the Apostle Paul comes.


However, those who try to find evidence of the Sunday service in any way claim that ‘collections (offerings)’ were made on the ‘first day of every week’ by extracting only the two phrases ‘collections’ and ‘the first day of every week.’ How strange their way of interpretation is! I suppose that they cannot see the Sabbath recorded about 135 times in the Bible (80 times in the Old Testament and 55 times in the New Testament) because they read the Bible in such a strange way.

[World Mission Society Church of God] Evidence of God’s children

The World Mission Society Church of God which keeps and follows the three times seven feasts testified in the bible is a truth church.



God commanded to keep the seventh day as the holy feast of God.


“Speak to the Israelites and say to them: ‘These are my appointed feasts, the appointed feasts of the LORD, which you are to proclaim as sacred assemblies. ” ‘There are six days when you may work, but the seventh day is a Sabbath of rest, a day of sacred assembly. You are not to do any work; wherever you live, it is a Sabbath to the LORD… (Leviticus 23:2-3)


The Sabbath day is a sign between God and the children of God.


“Say to the Israelites, ‘You must observe my Sabbaths. This will be a sign between me and you [God and God's people] for the generations to come, so you may know that I am the LORD, who makes you holy. ” ‘Observe the Sabbath, because it is holy to you. Anyone who desecrates it must be put to death; whoever does any work on that day must be cut off from his people… (Exodus 31:13-14)


I [God] gave them my decrees and made known to them my laws, for the man who obeys them will live by them. Also I gave them my Sabbaths as a sign between us, so they would know that I the LORD made them holy. (Ezekiel 20:11-12)


Those who do not keep the Sabbath day profane God, which is the evidence of false prophets.


Her priests do violence to my law and profane my holy things; they do not distinguish between the holy and the common; they teach that there is no difference between the unclean and the clean; and they shut their eyes to the keeping of my Sabbaths [they ignore the Sabbath: GNT], so that I am profaned among them. (Ezekiel 22:26)


Do you have evidence that you are the children of God?

[World Mission Society Church of God] The Courage to Face the Truth

World Mission Society Church of God believes in the savior in this Holy Spirit age, Christ Ahn Sahng Hong and God the Mother. Christ Ahn Sahng Hong announced the New covenant before 2,000 years and God the Mother. like our physical mother gives us the physical life, hope you receive God the Mother and get the eternal life.





Why do they deny and reject God the Mother whom the Bible teaches? Some would not acknowledge the truth even though the existence of God the Mother is proven from the Bible. Also, there are people who say that they just do not want to talk anymore because they have never heard such teachings while attending the church for several decades. The truth of God the Mother might sound very strange. So they sometimes say, “It’s a new view” or “it’s a new theory” since it’s very different from what they have known so far.

However, nobody boasts of ignorance. We need to listen to the words of the Bible with a humble mind if we have never been taught, don’t we? The truth of the Scriptures about God the Mother is “not” new. It’s recorded in the book of Genesis and also appears in the New Testament. It’s a precious truth which has been shared in the history of the Bible.

Then God said, “Let us make man in our image, in our likeness… So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them. (Genesis 1:26-27)

But the Jerusalem that is above [the heavenly Jerusalem: GNT] is free, and she is our mother. (Galatians 4:26)

God the Mother, witnessed in the Bible, was the truth that was also present in the time of the Early Church. But the church became secularized in around the 4th century when it was united with the political power of the Roman Empire. During secularization, the church accepted pagan rituals and ideas which were rampant throughout the Empire.  Non-biblical doctrines appeared and, weirdly enough, Mary, who was just the physical mother of Jesus, took the place of God the Mother. Of course, the doctrine of virgin Mary was affected by pagan religion called the worship of “mother and son.”

God the Mother whom the Bible testifies about is the Savior and the Creator, while Mary, the mother of Jesus, was a mere creature like us.  Jesus also warned us not to regard His physical family members as someone godlike:

As Jesus was saying these things, a woman in the crowd called out, “Blessed is the mother who gave you [Jesus] birth and nursed you.” He replied, “Blessed rather are those who hear the word of God and obey it.” (Luke 11:27-28)

The Roman Catholic Church distorted the truth of God the Mother and instead put up a false doctrine to believe in the false mother by calling a mere woman Mary “the Holy Mother.” Since then, the Catholic Church had exercised absolute power for more than one thousand years and no one had argued about its doctrines. But the corruption of the Roman Catholic Church reached its height during the late Middle Ages and at last its secular power collapsed when the Reformers appeared to obtain religious freedom and to restore the truth which had disappeared. They were the founders of Protestantism.

The Protestant churches declared that they were different from the Catholic Church. But their doctrines such as the Apostles’ Creed, Sunday service and Christmas were directly adopted from the non-biblical doctrines of the Roman Catholic Church.  In other words, their Reformation was incomplete because their restoration was imperfect and only partial amendments were made. Obviously, it it not biblical to “divinize” and rely on Mary for salvation. However, we should not only deny and reject it, but also restore the true truth of God the Mother.  The Protestant churches denied the truth of God the Mother itself.

The Scriptures clearly testify about God the Mother and it is written in Galatians 4:26. However, both Protestant and Catholic churches deny the truth about God the Mother. The former is the one that changed the truth, and the latter that seemingly understands the falsehood of Mary but insists that there is no God the Mother.  When we face the truth, we need the courage to make a decision.

For this people’s heart has become calloused; they hardly hear with their ears, and they have closed their eyes. Otherwise they might see with their eyes, hear with their ears, understand with their hearts and turn, and I would heal them.’ (Matthew 13:15)

When the Jews faced the truth that Jesus was the Savior and God, they became so stubborn and insisted that it’s not true. Pilate, who was a judge, feared the Jews rather than the truth and played a role in Jesus’ death by turning Him over to be executed. Now, how would both the Jews and Pilate regret their choice?

You are facing the truth. Today, Christians turn their faces away from the truth of the Bible and act as if they were the Jews of 2000 years ago with a fixed idea that there is only one God ? God the Father.  And some are hesitating to accept the truth although they see it. How about you? Will you persist that what you know is absolutely correct? Or, will you ignore the truth as if you did not know it? Or, will you be reluctant to make a decision because you think it’s difficult to suddenly change your belief?

There is God the Mother. We should receive God the Mother to get salvation. God still gives you an opportunity to become one of the prophets who can join and proclaim this truth.  Don’t be stubborn and don’t be reluctant. The blessings and the privileges to face the truth are given to those who make a brave decision.

[World Mission Society Church of God] Is your God in the Bible?


Christ Ahnsahnghong announced us the Passover that Jesus kept 2000 years ago. The Passover is surely the teachings of the early church. But nowadays many churches doesn't keep the Passover. Only World Mission society church of God keep the Passover.



He is the one I know very well and love the most like my life. I went to the place of our appointment and greeted him very nicely. However, his response was cold. He even said, “I don’t know you.” How would you feel if you find yourself in such a situation? You will surely feel embarrassed and might be terribly disappointed by his response.

What if the one who didn’t recognize you is “God”?  You surely will not want to imagine that. Unfortunately however, it’s not just an imagination. It must happen to someone in reality.

“Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only he who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. Many will say to me on that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and in your name drive out demons and perform many miracles?’ Then I will tell them plainly, ‘I never knew you. Away from me, you evildoers [you workers of lawlessness: ESV]!’ (Matthew 7:21-23)

It’s the word of Jesus in front of the door of the kingdom of heaven. To whom will He say, “I never knew you. Away from me”? To those who did not know God? No. Jesus will say to those who had special faith and loved Jesus, so as to say “Lord, Lord” and to act as the prophets who prophesied in the name of Jesus and performed many miracles.

Why will Jesus ignore and expel people with such faith from the kingdom of heaven?

We know that we have come to know him if we obey his commands. The man who says, “I know him,” but does not do what he commands is a liar, and the truth is not in him. But if anyone obeys his word, God’s love is truly made complete in him. This is how we know we are in him: Whoever claims to live in him must walk as Jesus did. (1 John 2:3-6)

Faith starts from knowing God. Believing in God without knowing Him is no more than blind faith. Those who do not obey His commands neither have faith nor know God. The God who is in the Bible acknowledges that we are His children if we observe God’s commandments such as the Sabbath and the Passover.  However, many people follow man-made commandments such as Sunday, Christmas and cross-idolatry. Which God do they believe in? The God believed by such people is another God not found in the Bible.

We are walking the path of faith with an expectation of a joyful meeting with God. If you wish to be welcomed by God someday, you must seek “God in the Bible.
