The Church of Almighty God | How should believers distinguish God’s voice to confirm that it is the true way?

The Church of Almighty God | How should believers distinguish God’s voice to confirm that it is the true way?

The Answer from God’s Word:
The words of God incarnate initiate a new age, guide the whole of mankind, reveal mysteries, and show man the direction ahead in a new age. The enlightenment obtained by man is but simple practice or knowledge. It cannot guide the whole of mankind into a new age or reveal the mystery of God Himself. God, after all, is God, and man is man. God has the substance of God, and man has the substance of man.

In Almighty God’s judgment work in the last days, how does He make all denominations become one? | The Church of  Almighty God

Bible Reference:
“And it shall come to pass in the last days, that the mountain of the LORD’s house shall be established in the top of the mountains, and shall be exalted above the hills; and all nations shall flow to it. And many people shall go and say, Come you, and let us go up to the mountain of the LORD, to the house of the God of Jacob; and he will teach us of his ways, and we will walk in his paths: for out of Zion shall go forth the law, and the word of the LORD from Jerusalem. And he shall judge among the nations, and shall rebuke many people: and they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruning hooks: nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more” (Isa 2:2-4).
“And other sheep I have, which are not of this fold: them also I must bring, and they shall hear my voice; and there shall be one fold, and one shepherd” (Jhn 10:16).
The Answer from God’s Word:
Throughout the universe I am doing My work, and in the East, thunderous crashes issue forth endlessly, shaking all denominations and sects. It is My voice that has led all men into the present. I shall cause all men to be conquered by My voice, to fall into this stream, and submit before Me, for I have long since reclaimed My glory from all the earth and issued it forth anew in the East.

Why isn’t God’s work in the last days done through the means of the Spirit? Why has God come to do His work in the flesh?

the last days, holy spirit, God's word,

the Church of Almighty God | Why isn’t God’s work in the last days done through the means of the Spirit? Why has God come to do His work in the flesh?

The Answer from God’s Word:
God’s saving of man is not done directly through the means of the Spirit or as the Spirit, for His Spirit can neither be touched nor seen by man, and cannot be approached by man. If He tried to save man directly in the manner of the Spirit, man would be unable to receive His salvation. And if not for God putting on the outward form of a created man, they would be unable to receive this salvation. For man can in no way approach Him, much like how none could go near the cloud of Jehovah. Only by becoming a man of creation, that is, putting His word into the flesh He will become, can He personally work the word into all who follow Him. Only then can man hear for himself His word, see His word, and receive His word, then through this be fully saved. If God did not become flesh, no fleshly man would receive such great salvation, nor would a single man be saved. If the Spirit of God worked directly among man, man would be smitten or completely carried away captive by Satan because man is unable to associate with God. …

The Church of Almighty God | What exactly is the relationship between God’s work and the Bible? Did God’s work come first or did the Bible come first?

The Church of Almighty God | What exactly is the relationship between God’s work and the Bible? Did God’s work come first or did the Bible come first?


Eastern Lightning, God's work, the Bible
God's work


The Answer from God’s Word:
It is nothing more than a historical record of God’s work, and a testament to the previous two stages of God’s work, and offers you no understanding of the aims of God’s work. Everyone who has read the Bible knows that it documents the two stages of God’s work during the Age of Law and the Age of Grace. The Old Testament chronicles the history of Israel and Jehovah’s work from the time of creation until the end of the Age of Law.

The Church of Almighty God | How did the Bible take shape? What type of book is the Bible

The Church of Almighty God | How did the Bible take shape? What type of book is the Bible

the Church of Almighty God, the bible, God's word
the Bible

The Answer from God’s Word:
The things recorded in the Old Testament are Jehovah’s work in Israel, and that which is recorded in the New Testament is the work of Jesus during the Age of Grace; they document the work done by God in two different ages. The Old Testament documents the work of God during the Age of Law, and thus the Old Testament is a historical book, while the New Testament is the product of the work of the Age of Grace. When the new work began, these books became out of date—and thus, the New Testament is also a historical book. Of course, the New Testament is not as systematic as the Old Testament, nor does it record as many things.

the Church of Almighty God | Why will some people who have just accepted God’s work of the last days be disturbed by Satan and evil spirits?

The Church of Almighty GodWhy will some people who have just accepted God’s work of the last days be disturbed by Satan and evil spirits?

the Church of Almighty God

     The Answer from God’s Word:
Because God has become flesh, Satan has employed all sorts of methods of accusation, wanting to attack God this way. However, God does not retreat because of this—He just speaks and works among mankind and allows people to know Him through His incarnate flesh. Satan is red-eyed with fury and has put forth a great deal of effort on God’s people to make them negative, retreat, and even lose their way.

What is the reason behind the religious community’s frantic resistance against and effort to condemn God’s new work in each age? What is the root?

The Church of Almighty God | What is the reason behind the religious community’s frantic resistance against and effort to condemn God’s new work in each age? What is the root?

the Church, the Church of Almighty God,
Lord Jesus

The Answer from God’s Word:
The reason that man opposes God stems, on the one hand, from the corrupt disposition of man, and on the other hand, from ignorance of God and lack of understanding of the principles of God’s work and His will toward man. These two aspects merge into a history of man’s resistance to God. Novices in the faith oppose God because such opposition lies within their nature, while the opposition against God of those with many years in the faith results from their ignorance of God, in addition to their corrupt disposition.

the Church, the Church of Almighty God
the Church of Almighty God
The Answer from God’s Word:
My entire management plan, which spans six thousand years, consists of three phases, or three ages: first, the Age of Law; second, the Age of Grace (which is also the Age of Redemption); and finally, the Age of Kingdom. My work in these three ages differs according to the nature of each age, but at each stage it accords with man’s needs—or rather, it varies according to the tricks that Satan employs in My war against it.

the Church of Almighty God | God is forever unchanging, so why would the Lord Jesus change His name to Almighty God?

the Church of Almighty God | God is forever unchanging, so why would the Lord Jesus change His name to Almighty God?

The Answer from God’s Word:
Each time God arrives on earth, He shall change His name, His gender, His image, and His work; He does not repeat His work, and He is always new and never old. When He came before, He was called Jesus; could He still be called Jesus when He comes again this time? When He came before, He was male; could He be male again this time? His work when He came during the Age of Grace was to be nailed to the cross; when He comes again will He still redeem mankind from sin? Will He still be nailed to a cross? Would that not be a repetition of His work? Did you not know that God is always new and never old? There are those who say that God is immutable. That is correct, but it refers to the immutability of God’s disposition and substance.
the word appears in the flesh

Changes in His name and work do not prove that His substance has altered; in other words, God will always be God, and this will never change. If you say that the work of God always stays the same, then would He be able to finish His six-thousand-year management plan?

Since God loves mankind, why does He send down disasters to destroy all evil people who deny and resist Him? | Eastern Lightning

Since God loves mankind, why does He send down disasters to destroy all evil people who deny and resist Him? | A Hundred Questions and Answers on Investigating the True Way | Eastern Lightning

The Answer from God’s Word:
The approach of the end of all things indicates the end of God’s work and indicates the end of humanity’s development. This means that humanity as corrupted by Satan has reached their end of development, and that the descendants of Adam and Eve have propagated to their respective ends, and it also means that it is impossible for such a humanity, having been corrupted by Satan, to continue to develop. … When His work ends, those people who remain will be cleansed and enjoy a more wonderful second human life upon the earth as they enter a higher realm of humanity; in other words, they will enter into humanity’s day of rest and live together with God. After those who cannot remain have undergone chastisement and judgment, their original forms will be entirely revealed; after this they will all be destroyed and, like Satan, will no longer be allowed to survive upon the earth. The humanity of the future will no longer contain any of this type of people; these people are not fit to enter the land of the ultimate rest, nor are they fit to enter the day of rest that God and man will share, for they are the targets of punishment and are the wicked, and they are not righteous people.

People often say, “Virtue has its reward, evil its retribution,” then why doesn’t God eliminate all the evil people? | Eastern Lightning

People often say, “Virtue has its reward, evil its retribution,” then why doesn’t God eliminate all the evil people? | A Hundred Questions and Answers on Investigating the True Way | Eastern Lightning


The Answer from God’s Word:
Today, regardless of their actions, and provided they do not obstruct God’s management and have nothing to do with the new work of God, such people will not be subjected to the corresponding retribution, for the day of wrath has yet to arrive. There is much that people believe God should already have dealt with, and they think that those evildoers should be subject to retribution as early as possible. But because the work of God’s management has still not come to an end, and the day of wrath has yet to arrive, the unrighteous still continue to perform their unrighteous deeds. … Now is not the time for man’s punishment, but the time for carrying out the work of conquest, unless there are those who impair God’s management, in which case they will be subjected to punishment based on the severity of their actions.

What is the essential difference between the work of God and the work of man? | Eastern Lightning

One Must Fellowship Clearly the Aspect of Truth Concerning the Difference Between the Work of God and the Work of Man |  Witnesses for Christ of the Last Days

1. What is the essential difference between the work of God and the work of man?

Relevant Words of God:
The work of God Himself involves the work of all of mankind, and it also represents the work of the entire era. That is to say, God’s own work represents the movement and trend of all of the work of the Holy Spirit, whereas the work of the apostles follows God’s own work and does not lead the era, nor does it represent the working trend of the Holy Spirit in the entire era. They only do the work man ought to do, which does not at all involve the management work. God’s own work is the project within the management work. Man’s work is only the duty of men being used and bears no relation to the management work. Due to different identities and representations of the work, despite the fact that they are both the work of the Holy Spirit, there are clear and substantive differences between God’s own work and the work of man.
from “God’s Work and Man’s Work” in The Word Appears in the Flesh

The words of God incarnate initiate a new age, guide the whole of mankind, reveal mysteries, and show man the direction ahead in a new age. The enlightenment obtained by man is but simple practice or knowledge. It cannot guide the whole of mankind into a new age or reveal the mystery of God Himself. God, after all, is God, and man is man. God has the substance of God, and man has the substance of man.

Introduction

    The entire religious world all believes that the work and words of God are all in the Bible, and that with the exception of the Bible, there are no words spoken by God and His work.
