A Lost Man Has Returned

A Lost Man Has Returned

Xieli    United States

In order to live a life of the greatest of the great, I came to U.S. to make my way. Although I suffered a lot over years, gradually I started up a company and possessed a car and a house, living an ideal “happy” life. Meanwhile, I made some friends. In the leisure time, we ate and drank and had fun together and we got along with each other well. I thought I had a group of buddies and close friends but it turned out that they were all fair-weather friends. They were unctuously, either adulating me or flattering me, without an honest word. In sorrow and distress, I even couldn’t find one to whom I could confide. Not only that, they sought every means to plot against me and cheat me out of my money. A friend swindled the money out of me by telling a lie that his mother in Mainland China was seriously ill and then vanished without a trace. A man who was from the same region with me falsely claiming to have an investment project tricked me out of my money. Even my intimate girlfriend also betrayed me and cheated me out of my hard-earned money which took me years to save up. The fickleness of the world made me disheartened and lose the faith in life, with empty, distressed and helpless feeling. Afterward, I often ate and drank and pursued pleasure to fill the emptiness in my heart. But the temporary comfort couldn’t solve my spiritual suffering.

In autumn of 2015, I met my wife by chance who had accepted Almighty God’s work in the last days. So, she began to preach the kingdom gospel to me. I said to her, “I’m too busy to believe in God. If you’re willing to believe, just do it. It’s enough for me to believe that there’s a God in my heart.” I held such a view until one day half a year later when my wife asked me to watch the video of the Church of Almighty God The Days of Noah Have Come with her. The pictures in the video shocked me. I saw that man is very small before the disaster and that the fleshly enjoyments and fame and position man pursues are worthless and are empty in the end. In this video, I saw Almighty God’s words, “However, I must tell you that in the time of Noah, men had been eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage to such a point that it was unbearable for God to witness, so He sent down a great flood to destroy mankind and left behind only Noah’s family of eight and all kinds of birds and beasts. In the last days, however, those kept by God are all those who have been loyal to Him until the end” (“Do You Know? God Has Done a Great Thing Among Men” in The Word Appears in the Flesh). “Then look upon the present age: Such righteous men as Noah, who could worship God and shun evil, have ceased to exist. Yet God is still gracious toward this mankind, and absolves mankind during this final era. God seeks those who long for Him to appear. He seeks those who are able to hear His words, those who have not forgotten His commission and offer up their heart and body to Him. He seeks those who are as obedient as babes before Him, and do not resist Him” (“God Presides Over the Fate of All Mankind” in The Word Appears in the Flesh). I felt God’s urgent desire to save mankind in God’s words. I thought about the present age. No one loves positive things and thirsts for God’s coming. Man brims with selfishness, arrogance, deception and so on; man schemes against and outwits each other for fame and gain, desires lust and violates morals and ethics…. They are indeed more corrupt than people in Noah’s days. But God doesn’t destroy man directly because of their evil and corruption yet send down various disasters to warn them and gives them the opportunities to turn to Him. Actually, God is so tolerant and kind. I pondered God’s words and thought of the fact that the world is becoming more and more corrupt and evil and disasters are getting greater and greater. When God hurls forth His rage upon this evil mankind, position and money can’t save me. Only if I come before God will I be saved. Thinking of that, I seemed to wake up from the dream. If I lose the opportunity to be saved by God for the temporary fleshly enjoyments, won’t it be a pity? So, in May of 2016, I started to believe in Almighty God and attend meetings.

Not long after I believed in God, I happened to see the online rumors. Those words condemning and blaspheming Almighty God shocked me all at once: asking man to offer money, not observing the boundaries between men and women, etc.. As those words appeared to be precise, I couldn’t discern fact and fiction and fell into puzzlement and confusion. The enthusiasm to believe in God well was dampened by the rumors at once. At that time, I accidentally heard my mother-in-law telling my wife that she would offer money on the phone, which made me believe in the online rumors. Later, I tried to stop my mother-in-law from offering money, lest she be deceived. At the same time, I exhorted my wife not to continue her belief, for fear that she would be cheated. But, she didn’t listen to me but said to me firmly, “The fact is not as the rumors say. What you saw on the internet are rumors and false testimonies. …” She fellowshiped with me about God’s words but I couldn’t hear anything she said. Later, brothers and sisters came to my home but I wasn’t inclined to conversation with them. Those days, I lived in darkness and was on edge, fearing that my wife and her mother would be cheated, not eating well or sleeping soundly. One day, at the sight of my distress, my wife fellowshiped with me about God’s words again. She showed me some of Almighty God’s words, “What I desire is not man’s conceptions and thoughts, much less your money and belongings, but your heart. Do you understand? This is My will, and even more what I set out to gain” (“The Sixty-first Utterance” in The Word Appears in the Flesh). Immediately after that, she made me read some words in the Management Principles for the Church Life, “The Church doesn’t allow anyone to call on believers to give offerings by a special sermon about offerings or by any other reasons” (The Principles to Establish the Church and the Management Principles for the Church Life in Annals of the Fellowship and Arrangements of the Work of the Church (I)). She continued, “Believers in the Church all practice strictly according to the principles. Since I followed Almighty God, the Church has never required us to offer money. Not only that, the Church even delivers a variety of books and CDs to every true believer in God for free. Today, my mother wants to aid those brothers and sisters in difficulty with some money. It’s out of her willingness and no one forced her. Moreover, helping people in need is a good deed. Is there anything to be criticized?”

Almighty God’s words and my wife’s fellowship made me suddenly think of the fellowship given by a sister: The Church of Almighty God doesn’t accept the offerings of the new believers. Whoever attempts to give offerings must pray for several times to make sure that it is truly voluntary and he will never regret it. Only those believers are allowed to offer money. The Church will absolutely not accept the unwilling offerings. Thinking of that, my heart was relieved somewhat, but my doubt hadn’t been fully dispelled. As I frowned, my wife knew what I thought and said, “Don’t believe in those rumors. In order to disturb and destroy God’s work of saving man, Satan can speak any kind of lies and give any kind of false testimonies…. God is a holy God and He loathes man’s evil most. Those with bad reputation and those not observing boundaries between men and women in the world will not be admitted into the Church. If believers commit adultery to shame God’s name, they will be cast into hell. God’s words have made it plain.” Then, she opened the book of God’s word and read those words, “Because of the pealing of seven thunders, many people kneel down to beg for mercy and forgiveness. However, it is not the Age of Grace but the time of wrath. I will not spare or forgive anyone who does evil (one committing adultery, one being not clean in money, one not keeping boundaries between men and women, one disrupting and destroying My management, one not understanding the spirit, one being occupied by an evil spirit, etc. other than God’s chosen people). I will cast them all into Hades and they will perish forever” (“The Ninety-fourth Utterance” in The Word Appears in the Flesh). Almighty God’s words with majesty and wrath awed me. I felt that God’s righteous, holy disposition which does not allow man’s offense and that God extremely hates those who commit adultery. At that point, some of my misgivings were removed naturally. Then, my wife fellowshiped, “In the Age of Law, God revealed His majestic and wrathful disposition to man. If man committed adultery at that time, they would be stoned to death. As God intends to destroy and end this evil and licentious age in the last days, He reveals His righteous and holy disposition to man and all the filth and evil will be burnt by His wrath. Before God sends down disasters to destroy this age, He uses His word to show His intention, what kind of people He likes, what kind of people He loathes, what kind of people will be destroyed, and what kind of people will remain. Today, God calls those who can be saved into His family and uses His word to judge and purify them. Meanwhile, in light of man’s corrupt disposition, He issues the administrative decrees for them to cling to. As for two members of the opposite sex working together, there’s a strict regulation in the administrative decrees.” Then, she opened the book of God’s word and read, “Man has corrupt disposition and, moreover, he is possessed of emotions. As such, it is absolutely prohibited for two members of the opposite sex to work together when serving God. Any who are discovered doing so will be expelled, without exception—and no one is exempt” (“The Ten Administrative Decrees That Must Be Obeyed by God’s Chosen People in the Age of Kingdom” in The Word Appears in the Flesh).

After my wife finished those words, I thought of the matter happened one day in the spring of 2016. It was before my formal investigation on Almighty God’s work in the last days. I drove to another state with my wife and a sister. On the midway, my wife got off the car due to something and the sister followed her off the car. At that time, the wind was blowing and it was freezing cold. The sister stood outside the car, stomping constantly to warm herself. I asked her to get into the car but she said with a smile, “It doesn’t matter. I want to stand outside for a while.” A long time later, my wife came back and only then did the sister get into the car with her. Seeing her shiver with cold, my wife said, “It’s so cold outside. Why did you not stay in the car?” She answered, “There’s an administrative decree in our Church that two members of the opposite sex are prohibited to work together. This is God’s requirement for all His chosen people. We should observe it strictly.” Her words deeply moved me, with the feeling that this group of people were different from worldly people. Thinking of that, I couldn’t help but pat my head. In retrospect, since I engaged with the brothers and sisters in the Church of Almighty God, I had seen that they kept boundaries between men and women, spoke in a dignified and decent way, and dealt with people with a strong sense of propriety. Those rumors betray themselves before the fact. At that moment, I felt ashamed. Actually, the online rumors were all fabricated slanders and blasphemies which were careless and out of nothing. But I even harbored doubts about Almighty God and His Church on account of them. I believed in them blindly and listened to hearsay. I was really muddle-headed! My wife continued her fellowship, “This is God’s protection to man that He issued such an administrative decree. As God knows that mankind is corrupted by Satan too deeply and has no ability to overcome sins, He uses it to constrain man and makes them avoid many temptations. This is God’s love.” I nodded involuntarily. In that way, the shackles in my heart were opened and I was released from doubt, distress and depression.

So, I started to attend meetings again. When I think about this experience, I have palpitations. These rumors are really harmful. Once man is swayed by them, they will be in distress and darkness. What makes me feel very puzzled about is that: Why are these rumors on the Church of Almighty God put on the website since it is so good? Thus, in a meeting, I opened my heart to my brothers and sisters and told them my thought to seek the truth. They had me watch the gospel movie shot by the Church Break Through the Snare. It resolved all my doubts. What’s more, I had a clearer understanding after the fellowship by my brothers and sisters. It’s Satan’s constant ploy to use rumors to disturb and destroy God’s work. When the Lord Jesus worked, to control God’s people forever, the Jewish religious leaders—the chief priests, scribes and Pharisees crafted many rumors about the Lord Jesus. They blasphemed and framed the Lord Jesus, by saying that He drove out demons by the prince of the devils and that He perverted the nation and forbade to give tribute to Caesar. They gave a false testimony that His body was stolen by His disciples and He was not resurrected, and so on. If there had been the internet, I think those religious leaders would upload the rumors and false testimonies about the Lord Jesus to the internet to judge, attack, condemn and blaspheme Him. Rumor is the great hindrance to man’s acceptance of the true way. Deceived by the rumors, the Israelites didn’t acknowledge that the Lord Jesus is Messiah and thus lost God’s salvation. Today, in the Age of Kingdom, Almighty God comes to do the work of judging and purifying man with the word. The Chinese government and the religious pastors and elders acted as Satan’s tools. For the purpose of caging and controlling man, they unrestrainedly created rumors and gave false testimonies on the Church of Almighty God to smear it. Satan is too evil and contemptible!

Following that, my brothers and sisters read God’s words for me, “On earth, all manner of evil spirits are endlessly on the prowl for a place to rest, are ceaselessly searching for the corpses of men to eat up” (“The Tenth Utterance” of God’s Utterances to the Entire Universe in The Word Appears in the Flesh). “Satan is constantly devouring the knowledge that men hold of Me in their hearts, and constantly, with teeth bared and claws unsheathed, engaged in the last throes of its death struggle. Do you wish to be captured by its deceitful stratagems at this moment? Do you wish, at the moment that the last phase of My work is completed, to cut off your own life?” (“The Sixth Utterance” of God’s Utterances to the Entire Universe in The Word Appears in the Flesh). Almighty God’s words tell us the truth of the spiritual war. It turns out that these rumors are Satan’s schemes to devour man. If man believes in those rumors, they will eventually lose the opportunity to be saved by God and will perish and be destroyed with Satan. Thank God for His leadership. The Church’s gospel movie and my brothers and sisters’ fellowship and help caused me to see Satan’s evilness and contemptibleness more clearly. Then, I was enlightened and was at ease within. I set up my mind to follow Almighty God and walk the way to salvation. After following Almighty God, I get the true freedom and release. As I experience more, I see that there’s plenty of love and help among brothers and sisters, and that everyone pursues to be an honest person according to Almighty God’s requirements and doesn’t need to worry or fear that they will be fixed, cheated, and harmed. I have felt the true happiness in the Church of Almighty God, which is the life I have always desired.

Whom Do You Actually Believe in? II

Whom Do You Actually Believe in? II

My wife thought for a while and then said to me, “Aiguang’s explanation accords completely with the fact. Most people in the religious world think that pastors and elders are predestined by God to be His servants, and that God raises them up to lead people to His kingdom. I also have been seeing it this way. But just now what Aiguang fellowshiped is right. The Lord Jesus indeed never told us to obey the pastors and elders in all things, nor did He say obeying the pastors and elders in belief in God was obeying God. So, is there anything wrong with our viewpoint that obedience to the pastors and elders equals obedience to God?”

I responded defiantly, “Aiguang, I acknowledge your fellowship is right. However, the pastors and elders have been serving God for years, toiling and laboring. Their knowledge of the Bible is more than ours anyway. Listening to and obeying them shouldn’t be the wrong thing to do.”

My son said sternly and solemnly, “Dad, mom, people believe that pastors and elders know the Scriptures very well and suffer much, so they must be after God’s heart and it is undoubtedly right to follow them on the path of belief in God. However, the chief priests, scribes, and Pharisees in Judaism were all religious leaders. They were familiar with the Bible and suffered a lot of hardships. Do you think they were people after God’s heart? Then who crucified the Lord Jesus? Who led the Jewish people down a road of no return? Weren’t they the hypocritical Pharisees? The Pharisees were familiar with the Bible, and they knew the coming of the Messiah prophesied in the Scriptures. But when the Lord Jesus came, did they recognize that He was the Messiah? Did they bring the Jewish people before God? This fact is sufficient to prove that the Pharisees did not know God. What they understood were just letters and doctrines. They explained the scriptures in the temple according to the knowledge summed up from their mind and their imaginations and conceptions, without the enlightenment and guidance of the Holy Spirit. They were not fellowshiping about the truth, but evidently exalting and testifying about themselves through the sermons. They used their biblical knowledge to deceive and shackle people, and drew the believers into their presence to worship and follow them. What’s more, the Pharisees did not at all know the direction of the Holy Spirit’s work. They worshiped their notions and imaginations as the truth, so that they ended up committing a heinous crime of nailing the Messiah to the cross though anxiously waiting for Him. The Pharisees had undergone many sufferings, but their suffering and sacrifice were all for their fame, gain and positions. They worked for their status and jobs, hindered people from following the Lord Jesus, and had people listen to them and obey them. The Lord Jesus exposed them with the words, ‘But woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for you shut up the kingdom of heaven against men: for you neither go in yourselves, neither suffer you them that are entering to go in’ (Matthew 23:13). ‘Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for you compass sea and land to make one proselyte, and when he is made, you make him twofold more the child of hell than yourselves’ (Matthew 23:15). ‘Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for you make clean the outside of the cup and of the platter, but within they are full of extortion and excess. You blind Pharisee, cleanse first that which is within the cup and platter, that the outside of them may be clean also. Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for you are like to white washed sepulchers, which indeed appear beautiful outward, but are within full of dead men’s bones, and of all uncleanness. Even so you also outwardly appear righteous to men, but within you are full of hypocrisy and iniquity’ (Matthew 23:25-28). The Lord Jesus also revealed them to be blind guides and cursed them for their being the generation of vipers. Seen from the Lord Jesus’ revelation of the Pharisees, they were the ones who hindered God’s work and opposed God, and God loathed and despised their actions. God observes the depths of man’s heart while we focus solely on man’s appearances. The Pharisees gave the appearance of piety yet hated the truth and opposed God inside. Dad, mom, the pastors and elders in the last days are believing in God yet opposing Him following the path of the Pharisees. Outwardly they are pious, faithful, and can bear hardships, but behind the facade lies their ulterior evil intentions. They’re no different from the Pharisees, working for status and jobs, adhering to letters and doctrines and theologies, but not practicing the truth. For example, the Lord Jesus prophesied, ‘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 …’ (John 16:12-13), and chapter 2, verse 7 in Revelation says, ‘He that has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit said to the churches.’ These scriptures clearly state that the Lord will surely express new words when He comes back, and that man must seek with caution. But why do pastors and elders not practice the Lord’s words and lead the brothers and sisters to seek and investigate Almighty God’s work in the last days? Why do they arbitrarily judge and condemn Almighty God and nail the returned Lord Jesus to the cross again? It is plain to see that they don’t know the new trend and direction of the Holy Spirit’s work like the Pharisees, and that neither do they know the work of God. What’s more, they only exalt what man says instead of what the Lord says while expounding on the Bible, and don’t follow the Lord’s way. They make the Lord’s words ring hollow and replace them all with man’s words. For example, the Lord said, ‘Not every one that said to me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that does the will of my Father which is in heaven’ (Matthew 7:21). Have the pastors and elders ever led us to follow the will of God? They only tell us that as long as we endure hardships, run and expend ourselves for the Lord, preach the gospel more and bear fruits, then we will be able to enter the kingdom of heaven and there will be laid up for us a crown. Isn’t it holding on to man’s teachings but making void the Lord Jesus’ requirements for us? Isn’t the path they lead contrary to or even poles apart from God’s will? When the Lord Jesus returns to do new work in the last days, they refuse to accept it and even hinder the brothers and sisters from seeking and investigating the true way. Isn’t it restricting man’s freedom of investigating the true way? Is there any difference between them and the Pharisees who hindered the Jews from accepting the Lord Jesus’ work? Christ of the last days, Almighty God, has already revealed the essence of the pastors and elders. Let’s read Almighty God’s words.

Almighty God says, ‘Those who read the Bible in grand churches recite the Bible every day, yet not one understands the purpose of God’s work. Not one is able to know God; moreover, not one is in accord with the heart of God. They are all worthless, vile men, each standing on high to teach God. Though they brandish the name of God, they willfully oppose Him. Though they label themselves believers of God, they are ones who eat the flesh and drink the blood of man. All such men are devils who devour the soul of man, demons who purposefully disturb those who try to step onto the right path, and stumbling blocks that impede the path of those who seek God. Though they are of “robust flesh,” how are their followers to know that they are antichrists who lead man in opposition to God? How are they to know that they are living devils who specially seek souls to devour?’ (“All Who Do Not Know God Are Those Who Oppose God” in The Word Appears in the Flesh). Dad, mom, Almighty God’s words sharply lay bare the real situation of the religious world. It has been controlled by antichrists and false shepherds. Though these pastors and elders label themselves as believers in God, they stand in God’s place to restrain and lecture people. They are arrogant and conceited, lawless and defiant of God, and they simply don’t have a heart that fears God. In order to keep their position and bread and butter, they hinder people from investigating the true way, for fear that God’s sheep will hear God’s voice and hence reject them so that they will lose the place in man’s heart. Thus, they clutch God’s sheep tightly in their hands, intentionally disturb God’s work and don’t allow people to seek and investigate the true way. Are they not antichrists? Many people have been deceived by them, believing in God in name yet following and obeying antichrists and false shepherds. If, even today, we are still deceived by these people and obey these hypocritical pastors and elders, sooner or later, we will be eliminated by the Lord and stripped of our chance for salvation. When the time comes, our outcome can only be being punished by God. God is righteous. He will not spare anyone who resists and betrays Him.”

Lies and Truths II

Lies and Truths II

To Incite the Populace to Hatred, the CCP Has Fabricated Several Criminal Cases to Frame the Church of Almighty God

The CCP not only tells lies to frame and violently kills political opponents as well as the students who hold peaceful petition, but also has done the same to religious beliefs. Since the CCP came into power in 1949, in order to thoroughly ban and exterminate all religions, it has classified Christianity and Catholic Church as the prime objects to be attacked, driven away the western missionaries on the excuse that Christianity was the opium, through which the West intended to invade China, reinvented Chinese preachers and generally carried out atheistic education. Moreover, it has also demolished churches, burned the Bibles, arrested Christians, and even designated Christianity and Catholic Church as illegal cults and labeled the Bible as a cult book. During the nearly seven decades when the CCP is in power, Chinese Christian Churches have suffered countless cruel persecution and bloody suppression: More than a million of Christians have been arrested, sentenced and imprisoned; thousands of Christians have been killed. The Church of Almighty God is one of the churches that have suffered the most severe persecution from the CCP.

In recent years, as the returned Lord Jesus in the last days, Almighty God appears and works, millions of words expressed by Him have been widely spread and witnessed. A great many Christians who thirst for God’s appearance and long to welcome the return of the Lord Jesus have turned to Almighty God one after another after recognizing God’s voice by reading His words. The Church of Almighty God is developing rapidly and expanding increasingly. The CCP government feels extremely afraid of this, fearing to lose its dictatorial ruling status if people all follow Almighty God after hearing His voice, thus its hatred for Almighty God as well as His Church is increasingly aggravated and the degree of persecution is steadily escalating. In order to completely abolish the Church of Almighty God, it plays the same old tricks: fabricating feigned cases to frame and discredit the Church, and also instigating the state media, its mouthpieces, to whip up public opinions and stir up man’s hatred for God, thereby deceiving the common people to resist God and be in enmity to Him with it. However, these cases are all rumors, slanders, and frame-ups.

Take the 28 May 2014 McDonald’s Murder Case totally plotted by the CCP for example. Zhang Fan, Lyu Yingchun and other criminals admitted personally before the court that they had nothing to do with the Church of Almighty God which is attacked by the CCP, and that they never got in touch with the Church, nor were they the members of the Church at all. However, in this circumstance, the state media still imputed the murder case to the Church of Almighty God, fabricating rumors and telling lies publicly to deceive and cheat the world. Soon after, the CCP also used its state media to frame the Church with a series of cases, which had absolutely no connection with the Church, and kept reproducing and publishing them repeatedly in the major media abroad. As a result, some overseas people who were kept in the dark only listened to one-sided statements, and thus were deceived and cheated by the CCP. But lies are, after all, lies. The truth has already surfaced and been out in the open.

The Cases That the CCP Has Framed Against the Church of Almighty God

No.1: A Six-year-old Boy Had His Eyes Gouged out in Shanxi

Brief introduction of the case: At around 7 p.m. on August 24, 2013, a vicious crime of injuring a child happened in Fenxi County, Shanxi Province. Guo X, a six-year-old boy who was playing at the gate of his home, was brought to the wilds and had his eyes gouged out, which caused severe personal injury to him. The state media released false news, saying that the crime was committed by the Church of Almighty God. They also reproduced and spread the news through Wikipedia and other media so as to instigate the common people to hate the Church and hinder people from investigating and accepting Almighty God’s kingdom gospel.

The truth of the facts: The police of Mainland China announced that according to the DNA tests, Zhang Huiying, the boy’s aunt, was the murderer, and she had committed suicide to escape punishment; Zhang’s husband said that he accepted the result of the case. The motive for the murder was to take revenge because the two families conflicted with each other about the living expenses of their parents. The facts have proved the case had nothing to do with the Church of Almighty God at all and was purely false accusation from the CCP.

No.2: Knife Attack Case at a Primary School in Guangshan, Henan by Min Yongjun

Brief introduction of the case: On December 14, 2012, an incident that pupils were chopped wound happened in Wanquan Primary School of Chenpeng Village, Wenshu Township, Guangshan County, Xinyang City, Henan Province, China: Twenty-three pupils and an old person were chopped wound by Min Yongjun, a psycho, with a kitchen knife. After the occurrence of the case, Guangshan Prefectural People’s Government blocked the information at once and used all sorts of means to raise obstacles, attempting to prevent journalists from entering the place to have an interview and investigation. Several days later, the state media released the news that the murderer had touched the believers of the Church of Almighty God and was influenced by eschatology, so he chopped people everywhere in a trance. The CCP intended to shift the case onto the Church of Almighty God.

The truth of the facts:

1. The murderer is called Min Yongjun. According to the appraisal given by Wuhan Municipal Psychiatric Hospital, Hubei Province, he had two-decade medical history of epilepsy, which resulted in mental disorder (schizophrenia) with a severe propensity for violence. The police claimed that Min suffered from the mental disease with intermittent paroxysms. As is known to all, psychos lose their own ability of recognition and behavior control. Moreover, they are subject to acousma and hallucinations, and their criminalities are related to the disease they catch.

2. The state media claimed that Min was influenced by the relevant words of doomsday. At the night of December 13, 2012, Min ran away from home and didn’t go back that whole night. However, the statement was denied outright by his mother. She said, “In recent two years, I have never let him out of my sight, nor have I seen him touch any religion, much less heard him mention doomsday.”

3. Let’s have a look at the general security condition in Chinese campuses and the plots behind the CCP’s high-profile reports on Guangshan Case.

In October of 2011, Liu Peng, a 17-year-old student of No. 2 High School of Guangshan County, was stabbed to death; in November of 2012, Cheng Qian, an 18-year-old student of No. 1 High School of Guangshan County was stabbed to death at the school gate; on December 14 of the same year, Min Yongjun Campus Murder Case happened. Three cases occurred in Guangshan County in the period of more than one year, but why did the CCP only report the Min Yongjun Case wantonly? In addition, within fifty days from late March to mid-May of 2010, six campus murder cases happened in China, but why did the CCP not report them in a high-profile way? And why do such incidents occur repeatedly in China? You can learn the reasons through the following contrast.

Lies and Truths I

Lies and Truths I

Lyu Liang

Speaking of lies, all believers in God know they come from the devil. The Lord Jesus disclosed in the Bible, “He was a murderer from the beginning, and stayed not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaks a lie, he speaks of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it” (John 8:44). The Lord Jesus told us clearly that the devil spoke lies and also murdered with lies from the beginning. It was because of believing the devil’s lies that mankind’s ancestors Adam and Eve sinned and were thus driven from the Garden of Eden by God, losing their happy life. From then on, death came upon mankind. Therefore, lies, which originate from Satan, are negative things and Satan’s tools for deceiving and corrupting mankind. In the real world, lies are extremely harmful. They can bring man to ruin, and can also trigger a slaughter and a war, so that rivers of blood flow and people are plunged into an abyss of misery.

In the first century A.D, in order to restrict and stop the spread of Christianity in Rome, Nero, the tyrant of ancient Rome, not only fabricated the rumors that Christians were sociopaths with political designs, but also framed Christians for the crime of burning the city of Rome, instigating the populace to hate them. Immediately, scores of Christians were arrested and bloodily slaughtered by the government. Some were nailed onto the pillars as candles, some were torn alive to pieces by wild beasts in the Colosseum. However, the ignorant Romans strongly supported and cheered loudly for the government’s atrocities of massacring Christians, becoming accomplices in the tyrant’s crimes. During World War II, in order to snatch Jewish assets and exterminate Jews, Hitler fabricated rumors wantonly, saying that the Jews had stolen all money from Germans, and he had films shot on the themes of Jews, in which tens of thousands of mice ran out of the Jews’ houses. Then the Nazi Party took the Jews into the hospital to have blood tests, and “the scientific statistics” proved the Jews were transmitters of Salmonella Typhi, Escherichia coli, etc. With those “conclusive evidences,” they drew the conclusion that the Jews were the dregs of humanity and exterminating them was the only solution. The reason why Hitler slaughtered the Jews was not only “adequate,” but also “irrefutable.” The overwhelming propaganda made the Germans take each and every lie from the government as true, and respond to and participate in the Holocaust positively. As a result, six million Jews ultimately died under the Nazis’ butcher knives. Obviously, when a national government makes up lies, which are extensively publicized and spread by state media afterward, then what they bring upon mankind are inevitably tremendous disasters.

Recently, some netizens found that the English version of Wikipedia, a world-renowned website, reproduced numerous rumors of slander, condemnation and smear of the Church of Almighty God by the CCP government, some of which were particularly appalling. For instance, in 2010, a member of the Church murdered a pupil, leaving a lightning-like mark on one of the victim’s feet. In 2012, a man called Ming Yongjun (Min Yongjun) said that he stabbed an old woman and 23 students of a school in Henan Province at the instigation of the Church’s prophecy of the last days. In August of 2013, a member of the branch Churches in Shanxi gouged a boy’s eyes out because the boy’s family intended to leave the religion. On May 28, 2014, six people who claimed to be members of the Eastern Lightning attacked and killed a woman in a McDonald’s restaurant in Zhaoyuan, Shandong, China. … These bloodcurdling rumors have deceived many people who are ignorant of the facts. As they believe the CCP government’s rumors, they have some misunderstanding of the Church of Almighty God, and furthermore, dare not investigate or accept Almighty God’s kingdom gospel although they clearly know Almighty God’s word is the truth and God’s voice. As for these people, if you tell them that they are fooled by the CCP government, and are deceived and cheated by its lies, then they will shake their heads and say, “How can it be possible that the Chinese government, a national government, openly fabricates rumors to frame and discredit the Church of Almighty God and cheat the people of the world?” From their perspective, it seems that every information and every news the CCP releases is true and reliable. But is this really the fact? All those who have some knowledge of the CCP government are clear that the greatest skill of it is making up lies, fabricating rumors, framing and discrediting others, and it has always been pursuing the fallacy that a lie repeated ten thousand times becomes the truth. From the time the CCP was founded until now, it has never changed its characteristic and essence of telling lies. It beautifies and builds up itself by making up lies and then repeating them, portraying itself as the great savior of the Chinese people, so that people all kneel and worship it. It also deceives and cheats people by telling lies, inciting the common people to hatred, thus achieving its purpose of attacking and eliminating dissidents. It can be said that the CCP is the government which is best at telling lies in the world, and is also the one that is most capable of using lies to deceive and murder people.

The CCP Beautifies Itself and Eliminates Dissidents Through Lies

Open the history of the CCP. Every page of it seems to be glorious and bright, as if telling its greatness, glory and correctness. Yet, provided that you collate it with historical facts, then you will find that the history of the CCP is nothing but lies, and none of it conforms to historical facts.

Take the Long March for example, which plays an important role in the history of the CCP, and is also boasted by the CCP as the great pioneering work of indomitably breaking through the encirclement campaign of Nationalist forces and marching north to resist Japanese aggression. But actually, the Long March was merely a great group escape for the sake of the CCP’s self-preservation, and was also called “fleeing hither and thither” or “fleeing westward” by the Nationalist forces. This has been proved in the historical textbook of Beijing Normal University, which was chiefly edited by Bai Shouyi, the professor of the university. (It is written in the book: At 8 p.m. on October 21, 1934, after the failure of the 5th counter-encirclement campaign, the central Red Army broke through southward. But immediately, it is written in the following pages of the book that at 8 p.m. on October 21, 1934, the central Red Army solemnly declared to begin the Long March and march north to resist Japanese aggression.) In addition, after fleeing to Shaanxi and Gansu in 1935, the CCP convened the Central Politburo Conference in the Russian Concession in Gansu on September 12, during which Mao Zedong said, “We will give up the policy of occupying Sichuan, Shaanxi, and Gansu. We decide to open up an international line through guerrilla warfare, and come to the region which is close to the Soviet Union to create bases via the northeastern Gansu and northern Shaanxi….” “If we can’t keep a foothold in Ningxia, then we can pass through the desert by car to Outer Mongolia for the sake of leaving these revolutionary seeds.” Thus it can be seen that the so-called Long March is, in fact, its embarrassed history of the great escape of ten thousand miles. However, through the CCP’s made-up lies, publicity and elaborate packaging, it has become a great anti-Japanese feat, which has deceived the Chinese people for seven decades.

There were “ten struggles between the lines” in the history of the CCP, and each of them was, with no exception, carried out centering around the struggle for authority. Yet the CCP prettified them as its error-correcting mechanisms and the progressiveness of the Party. Then what on earth is the truth of the facts? We might as well give two examples, through which we can know the answers. Among the so-called “ten struggles between the lines,” the ninth “Liu Shaoqi Bourgeois Headquarters” and the tenth “Lin Biao Anti-revolution Group” drew the most attention of the world.

Liu Shaoqi, the former president of the People’s Republic of China, was supported and approved by some personages inside and outside the Party because he advocated developing economy and improving the people’s livelihood. Whereas, Mao Zedong, the Party leader, felt keenly that his dominant position was threatened. Then in order to eliminate dissidents, Mao stirred up people to rebellion, planning and launching the world-shaking Great Proletarian Cultural Revolution. Soon, Liu Shaoqi was changed from a state president to a great traitor, a great mole and a public thief, and was “perfectly justifiably” killed by the Party finally. Lin Biao, an ever-victorious general who once swept away the millions of enemy troops, was the former Defense Minister of the People’s Republic of China, and the established successor according to the Party Constitution. However, after failing in the inner-party struggles, through the propaganda of the state media, Lin became a schemer and careerist overnight who was beaten and went over to the enemy, and betrayed the Party as well as his country. Ultimately, he ended up with the saying that his death from the plane crash would not expiate his sins. But in fact, Lin Biao had already been shot dead before the air crash. That he betrayed his country and defected to the enemy and died in the air crash was merely a pretense fabricated by the CCP to conceal the ugly fact of scrambling for power and position and killing one another within the Party.

People once counted that in the history of the CCP, there were over 110 lies that were similar to the above-mentioned ones which confounded black with white and distorted the truth. It does show that the history of the CCP is absolutely a history of lies.

Since the CCP was founded, whether in the struggles outside the Party or inside the Party, and in whether the repression of student movements and persecution of religious beliefs or the suppression of ethnic minorities and dissenters, it was all through fabricating rumors and telling lies that the CCP has achieved its purpose of suppressing, murdering, and safeguarding its dictatorial rule. It has been a fact obvious to all.

The world-shaking “June Fourth Incident” was originally a movement that students protested against the corruption of the government and advocated democracy and freedom, but the CCP government organized some special intelligence agents to sneak into the procession of students to beat, smash, and loot everywhere, and even burn military vehicles and kill soldiers. Later the CCP imputed the crimes to the students. When “the evidence was certain,” the CCTV Evening News as well as the major domestic media began to report and propagandize it overwhelmingly at once, exposing the “outrages” of the undergraduates. Soon after, Li Peng, Premier of the State Council, publicly labeled this student movement as a riot. After that, the extremely tragic and world-shaking massacre of the century happened, and thousands of lives of young students vanished on that night.

On March 14, 2008, in Lhasa, Tibet, over three hundred monks of Zhaibung Temple paraded, chanting the slogan “freedom of religion belief,” and then they were arrested and beaten by military police of the CCP, which gave rise to Tibetan large-scale protests. Then after driving the foreign journalists out of the region, the CCP military police disguised themselves as Tibetans to beat, smash, loot, and burn the shops owned by the Han and Hui people. They even killed the Hans and imputed the crime to the Tibetans. Soon, the pictures of the Tibetans’ killing people, which were exclusive to the state media, were speedily and continuously rebroadcast in every major media. After the rumors were accepted by the public, the CCP changed immediately into “the power of justice” of “keeping the social order,” while the Tibetans became “rioters” and thus suffered the large-scale bloody suppression from the CCP.

Minister of Propaganda of Nazi Germany Goebbels said, “The mission of newspapers is to transmit the ruler’s will to the ruled and thus make them regard the hell as heaven.” “The only one purpose of propaganda is to conquer the masses.” “The propaganda is based on the fundamental principle that the effective arguments should be repeated constantly and the lies should be spread continually and dressed up to be credible.” The CCP’s purposes, means, and principles of propaganda overly coincide with the Nazis’. It has turned out that the atheistic CCP government is the maker of lies and the source of evil, hence everything said by the CCP government as well as its state media is nothing but lies and is not trustworthy at all. Similarly, such information reproduced and published in whatever media or websites is not worth believing either.
