The Church of God is Zhang Gil-Jas Congregation!

Ahn Sahng-Hongs son Ahn Kwang-Sup speaks out about the Church of God
coverage: Tak Ji Il editor
written by: Lee Seoung Yun reporter
The Church of God Zhang GIl-Ja, Kim Joo-Cheol believes that Ahn Sahng-Hong is
God the Father. However, according to Ahns son Ahn Kwang-Sup, the organization has
nothing to do with Pastor Ahn. Ahn Kwang-Sup talks about the Church of God as he
sees it.
The Church of God, which believes that Ahn Sahng-Hong is God the Father, appeared
on the scene after Ahns death. It also deifies Ahns wife, Zhang Gil-Ja, as the Heavenly
Mother. The Church of God is expanding its influence by upholding its public image as
an active participant in community volunteer services. However, the Church is being
criticized by the New Covenant Passover Church of God (New Covenant Church) which
reportedly follows the teachings of pastor Ahn and the traditions of the organization.
Each congregation claims that it is based on the authentic teachings of Ahn SahngHong. Ahn Kwang-Sup, a son of Ahn Sahng-Hong as well as an elder of the New
Covenant Church, spoke to us about The Church of God.
Is Zhang Gil-Ja the wife of Ahn Sahng-Hong?
After Ahns death, the congregation went two separate ways: the God of Church that
believes in Zhang Gil-Ja as the Heavenly Mother and the New Covenant Church that
adheres to the traditional doctrine of Ahn. The Church of God proclaimed that Zhang
was the Spiritual Mother, on the grounds of a wedding photo of Ahn and Zhang.
According to the testimony we received from a victim based in America, the Church of
God in the U.S. currently presents Zhang as the first wife of Ahn; a claim that Ahns own
son, Ahn Kwang-Sup, does not accept. Ahn made it clear that Zhang was not his fathers
wife, citing Ahns Detailed Family Census Register as evidence. On the Register, Hwang
Won-Soon is recorded as Ahns wife and it says that she reported the marriage with Ahn
Sahng-Hong on the 5th of April 1958. The name Zhang Gil-Ja is not found anywhere in
the register. Ahn Kwang-Sup stressed that Zhang could not have been the first wife and
he did not verify Zhangs wedding photo, saying that he had never seen it before.
Is Zhang Gil-Ja the Heavenly Mother?
The Church of God emphasizes that the images of man and woman are contained within
the image of God and that Eve symbolizes the bride of the Second Coming of the Christ.
It claims that the Heavenly Jerusalem mentioned in the Revelation of John implies the
bride and thus points to Zhang Gil-Ja, since she is the Heavenly bride chosen by Ahn
Sahng-Hong. The claim is dismissed by Ahn Kwang-Sup as a load of nonsense. The
Heavenly Mother is not part of Ahn Sahng-Hongs teachings, he said. When Ahn was
alive, a person called Um Soo-In once claimed that she was the bride and Ahn SahngHong rebuked the claim in writing, he added. According to Ahn Kwang-Sup, pastor Ahn
had never taught about the Heavenly Mother and had clearly written that the bride
means the New Heavenly Jerusalem as recorded in the Revelation of John 21:9-10 and
the new Jerusalem translates into 144,000 members of the congregation.

Is Kim Joo-Cheol the successor of Ahn Sahng-Hong?

The Church of God claims that Kim Joo-Cheol the leader of the Church of God is the
successor of Ahn, because Ahn dressed Kim in full ceremonial uniform and took a photo
of Kim. The New Covenant Church suspects that the photo may have been forged. Even
if the photo was genuine, the Church maintains that Kim cannot be accepted as the
successor on the basis of a single photo. Ahn Kwang-Sup criticized Kims claim, saying
that Kim proclaims to be Ahns successor but that is just his opinion. It is not known
whether Kim put on the uniform himself at the time. Pastor Ahn had never publically
dressed Kim in a formal ceremony, he said curtly. As far as he is concerned, Kim has
never been formally appointed as the successor by Ahn.
Is Ahn Sahng-Hong the Saviour?
The service performed at the New Covenant Church is not much different from that of
the mainstream churches. The parishioners pray in the name of Jesus Christ and recite
the Lords Prayer. They sing unmodified mainstream hymns. Like the Seventh-day
Adventists, they observe Saturday as the Sabbath day. The New Covenant Church
worships God in the same way we did when pastor Ahn was alive, Ahn Kwang-Sup said.
He pointed out that the Church of God changed the service format to suit its own views.
Although the Church of God prays in the name of pastor Ahn Sahng-Hong, Ahn was not
the saviour of people, he was just someone who found the truth people had lost, he
stated. The New Covenant Church believes in Jesus Christ as the Saviour and pastor
Ahn himself made it clear that only the work of Jesus could save us. The Church of
God, however, believes in Ahn Sahng-Hong as the Saviour. In its full articles of
incorporation, the Church states that we believe in the truth that we will be saved by the
Heavenly Spiritual Father Ahn Sahng-Hong who came to the world, as written in the
Bible, and by believing in the Bride of the Heavenly Father, Zhang Gil-Ja.
25th of December marks the Nativity of Ahn Sahng-Hong?
Church of God criticizes the Christmas day celebrations held by the traditional churches
as worshiping the historic Sun God and it celebrates the day to commemorate the
nativity of Ahn Sahng-Hong. One member of the Church describes the meaning of the
nativity day in his internet blog as follows; since the mainstream churches do not know
the exact birth date of Jesus, celebrating Christmas on the 25th of December has no
meaning whatsoever. The members of the Church of God know the exact birth date of
Ahn Sahng-Hong and celebrate the day accordingly. Is Ahn Sahng-Hongs birthday the
25th of December, as this believer claims? In the Detailed Family Census Register,
Ahns citizen ID is recorded as 180113-OOOOOOO. He was born on the 13th of Jan
1918 in Myungduk-ri Gyenam myun, Jangsoo-gun, Jullabukdo.
Ahns teaching on 144,000
In his book called [The Mystery of God and the Spring of the Water of Life], pastor Ahn
concludes that the number of people saved will be no more than 144,000. He also
claims that 2012 will be the end of the world in [While the Bridegroom Tarries, All the

People Fall Asleep?]. In a nutshell, the world will end in 2012 and only 144,000 people
will be saved. The Church of God supports this prediction and is secretly spreading the
message. The number of believers in the Church, however, is currently over 144,000.
The Church claims that the number reached 1.45 million according to its own survey,
which would mean that less than 10% of the congregation will be saved. Criticizing such
a claim, Ahn Kwang-Sup said, When we are talking of the number 144,000, it is
fraudulent to boast the figure that goes beyond a million. The Church of God essentially
deviates from the foundation laid by pastor Ahn. Pastor Ahn talks about the last day of
the world in 2012 but he also said that we need to fill the number 144,000. So we need
to fulfil this number first, he added.
The claims made by Ahn Kwang-Sup, the son of pastor Ahn Sahng-Hong, indicates that
the Church of God has little to do with Ahn Sahng-Hong at present. Ahns teachings
have been twisted and the worship ceremony established by him has lost its original
form. While worshipping Ahn Sahng-Hong as the Saviour, the Church further created the
Heavenly Mother doctrine and encourages the members to worship Zhang Gil-Ja. This
was, however, denied by Ahn in the book written by himself. One ex-member of the
Church of God reported that the Church presented Zhang Gil-Ja as the central figure,
asking would-be believers whether they knew about the Heavenly Mother. In other
words, the Church of God has nothing to do with Ahn Sahng-Hong and has everything to
do with Zhang Gil-Ja.

Why doesnt his son speak up and let people know that he is Ahns son and how his
father is not God and how Zahng Gil-Ja is not mother God?!? Since they preach that
Ahn didnt have children!!!! I could not let that lie get that big to the point where there is
millions of people now following a false doctrine. I would not be able to sleep at night
knowing this is going on and I could stop it!!!!! Why are so many people that know the
truth not talking? Are you the only person trying to help? Its so frustrating:(

The problem is WMSCOG has members not trusting this site, hence the lawsuits
filed by WMSCOG to shut this site down.
WMSCOG members will not even consider the evidence put out by this site.

I would like to personally invite Ahn Kwang-Sup to the United States!!! I have a spare
room at my house.
I would love for him to speak to my daughter who is brainwashed by WMSCOG. My
1yr old and 4yr old grand daughters are the TRUE VICTIMS. They are the ones who are
reaping severe unhealthy consequences from WMSCOG.
If Ahn has any compassion for others he would consider this invitation!!! I would like to
invite him here but the link to get in touch with him is in Korean!!

What more proof you need for you to believe. Theres already in this site the
translation of the interview including that of the names of the family of ahnsahnghong
marked in his tomb and still you dont believe. Show then to us any marriage contract of

ahnsahnghong and your mother god zahng gil ja if they were really married as per your
WMSCOG records. All of you members of WMSCOG are lied to and deceived by love
bombing of your deacons and pastors. Arent you all not ashamed in worshiping false
gods which makes you pagans? All proofs are here already and one more thing
WMSCOG was branded as a cult by the South Korean government and this thing also
you dont beleive? WMSCOG makes you dumb and foolish. Dont you feel it?

Mike, what proof are you talking about? The Bible tells us that Satan will do these
things but I hope you are not using those scriptures as your proof. We have spent
years now testing the doctrine and studies of the WMSCOG and the proof of much of
this effort is in this website. We completely deny that Ahn and/or Zahng/Chang/Chung, or
whatever other alias she has gone by, are God. Please be much more open and obvious
with any proof that you think you are bringing here. Thank you.

The atheists deny the existence of GOD. WMSCOG deny the true GOD but they
have their false gods. WSMSCOG is just one instrument of SATAN to carry on his lies
and deceptions. Worshiping a dead and even a living person is evil in the sight of GOD
I mean the true GOD, the Creator of everything. Who then is being used by Satan? The
Atheists just dont believe in GOD, while WMSCOG have even more worst crime for
ejecting GOD from His Throne and replaced Him with their invention.

Are you not the one who was been a instrument by satan? Dont do this kind of
comments for you and all of the people using this site that saying World Mission Society
Church Of GOD is a cult and a merely instrument by satan. I already seen the truth, my
eyes had been deeply opened about the truth there will be no need of proofs if you do
believe and think beyond your physical life. If the World Mission Society Church Of GOD
is a cult and an instrument by satan? How do possibly satan wants us to remember
again the things he destroyed thousands of years ago for us not to recognize GOD the
Father and God the Mother and fall again to his deceptions. I hope you enter the World
Mission Society Church Of GOD and study it by yourself and not by consulting this kind
of website and believe those people saying about this religion and Im sure that you will
know the truth. May heavenly Father and Heavenly Mother guides you to the true way. I
know what will you reply to my comment but Im telling you for one last moment that I will
not deceived by you nor Satans doings..

I dont remember Jesus EVER teaching us about a god the mother. Please show me
where to find these teachings. While you are at it show us your research that proves
that Satan did away with god the mother so that we did not remember. Your eyes have
been deeply opened (whatever that means) and thinking about God requires thinking
outside of our physical life. If you imagine that you are so enlightened above us then I
encourage you to please share out of your extensive knowledge. I prefer to follow the
ONE TRUE GOD of the BIBLE.
Boy Im looking forward to your comment based on your statementI know what will
you reply to my comment.

There is no need for me to show proofs, we always insist proofs for us to believe
because we must seen it in our own physical eyes but like I said if you believe and think
beyond your physical life there is no need for you to have proofs because you already
seen it with your spiritual eye. Like I said you will not agree to my comment its not
because you dont believe its because you really dont want to believe.There is no need
for me to justify what I said its up to you.

You dont need any kind of proof to believe in something? What kind of misguided
lie is this? Ive seen animals being lead around by a ring in their nose that have deeper
thought processes than this. You dont need proof and I dont have to provide any in
order to get you to believe in something? Wake up Mike or you are going to waste your
entire life being used by whoever comes up with the next creative story. On second
thought, maybe you need to stay right where youre at because if this is in fact your
veiwpoint you will not be able to survive in the world that God created. Good luck but I
hope you dont really believe what you wrote above. Ill keep asking for the proof and the
truth that is always revealed both spiritually and physically. I think youve chosen a
cowards approach to life.

What you guys really mentioning here in this kind of site is not the things they thought
us so meaning all the evidences presented here is not and will not always be true. Your
just doing it for a reason and that reason is not good.

Brother Mike was bombarded with lots of indoctrination and love bombing. My
personal advise my dear friend, read the bible starting from the first page and
sequencely up to the last page getting what is the theme behind each book you finished
reading. Reading the Bible requires keen understanding and logic standing to reason.

Youll come to know creation, whos behind creation, who is he and what he wants for his
creation to follow to qualify for his plan and what is that plan? PARADISE and HELL.
All of us will experience death that we will be raised up again resurrected not
reincarnated on the Day of Judgement. We are and will all go back to HIM to face
judgement, we like it or not. In the second life, death will be no more, we all live but
where we gonna be depends entirely from our doings and have had undertaken here on
earth while we are in our first life. By cherry picking the Bible, one will not be able to
grasp the history of GOD and humankind. Make your choice brother, if your mind and
heart finds WMSCOG is your final conviction as you believe them, nobody can pull you
out from their hold if you yourself holds to them.

Mike, are you in the Philippines? That would be my guess, I would be interested in
knowing if I am right. Anyhow, I know you are upset with people for posting freely in a
place where your church cannot remove the comments. If WMSCOG could, they would
have removed this site long ago. Any organization of that mentality can be counted on to
be a tyranny if given too much power. Think about it if they had power to punish in any
way they pleased, then do you really think they would stop at lawsuits and comment
removal? Think about it. You should feel lucky that we are here defending freedom to
post against this organization at a very minimum, even if you do not agree with us. If
COG ran the world, there would be no freedom. Even publicly disagreeing would be
forbidden. I am not worried about you. Once you get older and less important to these
people, then you will be treated differently and you will see what I am talking about. Just
as long as you keep your head in all situations, you will leave on your own.
