Welcome to the interview dialogues of The Trumpet of Truth!

Today, we're honored to be able to invite Professor Massimo Introvigne again,

who is a renowned expert on new religious movements,

the Chinese Communist Party's repression and persecution of Christians.

The governments of many democratic countries in the world

They impose no restrictions on religions.

But the CCP has always been persecuting Catholic and Protestant house churches,

among which The Church of Almighty God suffers particularly serious persecution.

The CCP has not only carried out national repression

after discrediting and framing the Church,

but also found excuses to incite people's hatred toward it.

who gave up their families and jobs to preach the gospel and witness for God

and smeared that they abandoned and destroyed families.

Professor Introvigne, you are also a person of faith.

What do you think about the CCP's judgments on Christians?

Sometimes there are members who decide to serve as full-time missionaries,

Jesus Christ Himself has some words about it:

You should leave your father and mother (for God's kingdom).

indeed hundreds of thousands of Catholic priests and nuns

who leave their families to join the priesthood or religious orders.

there is, I would say, even an increasing number of full-time missionaries.

Sometimes true in the Protestant world that families go to a mission,

but it's also the case that people go alone,

so they leave their families to be missionaries.

we can say that it's typical of Christianity in general.

But I would say it's typical of religion.

And we find similar developments in Judaism, in Buddhism.

to have ordained or non-ordained communities of people

who decide to serve as missionaries full-time.

So it's not (only) typical of The Church of Almighty God,

but it's also typical of religion in general.

Professor Introvigne, what you say is in line with the facts.

I remember that the Lord Jesus once said this:

The Church of Almighty God Christians leave their home and loved ones

in order to preach the kingdom gospel to those who long for God's appearance.

they have been at the risk of being arrested and persecuted by the CCP at any time.

who martyred for their mission of spreading Jesus Christ's gospel.

cooperating with God's work of saving mankind on Earth

in accordance with the teachings of the Lord Jesus.

the Christians' forsaking their family or job to preach the kingdom gospel

as a negative thing that ruins the family,

even defining gospel preaching as a criminal act.

The CCP also has made a fuss about the fact

that some Church of Almighty God Christians have undergone divorce

and has claimed that The Church of Almighty God separates families

in order to incite people's hatred toward The Church of Almighty God.

that never believes the existence of God or reads the Bible.

What exactly does it want to achieve by doing this?

the position of the CCP singling out The Church of Almighty God

leaving the families to preach if you feel this calling,

this is, as I said before, common in all religion.

That's also happening in Protestantism and other religions.

But perhaps it's even more interesting to remember

that in the early days of the CCP, and even in the Cultural Revolution,

there were many Chinese who were actually encouraged by the words of Chairman Mao

to leave their families to become propaganda agents of the CCP full-time.

So not only religions, but even in the CCP history,

we find people who left their family to devote to an ideology all their life.

I know also that CCP propaganda insists on the fact

when only one spouse joins or leaves The Church of Almighty God.

But in practice if you take seriously your religion

if only one of the spouses strongly believes in one religion
