  • We used to think

  • that these pastors who are familiar with the Bible and can explain the Bible

  • surely must know God.

  • It seems this is very wrong.

  • Under the guise of "defending the truth and protecting the flock,"

  • they focus on opposing Almighty God, Christ of the last days,

  • and turning the religious world into a staunch bastion of opposition to God.

  • Today, it is the word of Almighty God

  • that has allowed me to discern the antichrist essence of pastors

  • to break out of their cage and their control

  • and to be brought before God's throne. (Amen!)

  • Thanks be to God!

  • Almighty God's word can make people see truth and enlighten them. (Indeed.)

  • I still do have a question.

  • Please ask. Do you want to communicate it with everyone? (Ah, okay.)

  • Then let's go.

  • Well, I still have a question.

  • Pastors all know the Bible,

  • they often interpret and exalt the Bible in churches.

  • We've always thought that they should be people who know God.

  • Then why has the work of God incarnate in the last days

  • been resisted by the majority of pastors?

  • Please discuss this question with us.

  • That's true.

  • Pastors are familiar with and have a rich knowledge of the Bible.

  • They understand it and know God.

  • If the Eastern Lightning is the true way,

  • then why would they condemn and actively resist it?

  • It seems to me what the majority of pastors and leaders condemn

  • can't possibly be the true way.

  • Deaconess Hong, I don't agree with that.

  • In investigating whether it's God's work,

  • we should not judge by whether the majority of religious leaders accept.

  • Think back to when Lord Jesus appeared to do His work,

  • who were the ones that crucified the Lord Jesus?

  • Wasn't it the religious leaders

  • who were familiar with and interpreted the Bible?

  • And so, what does this fact tell us?

  • A person who can interpret it doesn't necessarily know God's work

  • and certainly cannot be said to know God.

  • Jewish Pharisees and scribes were all familiar with the Bible,

  • and yet it was they who resisted the Lord.

  • They were all antichrists.

  • Is this not a fact?

  • If someone knows the Bible well but can't see this fact,

  • does that count as understanding the Bible?

  • If you still rely on the views of the majority of religious leaders

  • as the basis to determine if it's God's appearance,

  • then isn't that totally absurd?

  • If you still rely on their views,

  • aren't you also denying the appearance and work of the Lord Jesus?

  • That makes you just like the Phariseessomeone who in fact resists God.

  • When we seek the true way,

  • we should decide according to whether there's the Holy Spirit's work and truth.

  • That's the basis.

  • Basing it on religious leaders' views is absolutely resisting God,

  • and you'll be condemned and eliminated by God. (Yeah! Yes!)

  • Do these words not conform with the facts?

  • Yes, that's right. I agree with that. I agree too. Exactly.

  • Most believers are of the view that

  • pastors are familiar with the Bible and often explain and exalt the Bible,

  • which means they should be people who know God.

  • However, when God once again becomes flesh to perform His work in the last days,

  • why do these pastors who know the Bible well

  • furiously condemn and resist God's work of the last days?

  • This is something that puzzles a lot of people.

  • This is actually not hard to figure out.

  • Back then the Pharisees knew the Bible well

  • and would often expound on it in synagogues.

  • But when Lord Jesus came, they furiously resisted,

  • and furthermore, they persecuted Him

  • and nailed the Lord Jesus to the cross alive.

  • This fact is sufficient to prove

  • that those who often interpret and exalt the Bible do not necessarily

  • have true knowledge or understanding of God.

  • All of the Pharisees could interpret the Bible.

  • Though they knew everything expressed by the Lord Jesus was the truth,

  • how could they still resist Him?

  • Since they weren't able to recognize God's voice at all,

  • how could they possibly know God's disposition and essence?

  • Religious pastors are no different from the Pharisees.

  • You see, although they are familiar with the Bible,

  • all that they preach is Bible knowledge and theological theories

  • as well as the characters and historical background of the Bible.

  • They're unable to communicate any experience or testimony

  • of practicing the Lord's word, or any true knowledge of God.

  • This is more than enough to show that

  • they are not people who experience God's work nor do they practice God's word.

  • How could they possibly be among those who know God?

  • Their view of God is full of notions and imaginations.

  • They simply don't know God's disposition

  • and intention of saving mankind whatsoever.

  • And so when God appears in the last days,

  • they use their Bible knowledge and doctrines to define God's work,

  • and so end up playing the role of the Pharisees

  • who believed in God yet resisted Him.

  • Let's take a look at a passage of Almighty God's word.

  • Almighty God makes it abundantly clear.

  • True knowledge of God comes from practically experiencing God's work

  • and from practicing God's word,

  • and is achieved through the work of the Holy Spirit.

  • It's not achieved through being extremely familiar with the Bible. (Indeed.)

  • No one has, in the last thousands of years,

  • achieved true knowledge of God through reading the Bible.

  • Moreover, not one person has been cleansed and received God's approval

  • because they were familiar with the Bible.

  • He is right.

  • Of all those who received God's approval throughout history,

  • none achieved knowledge of God through simply reading the Bible.

  • It was while in the process of practicing God's word and obeying God's work

  • that ever so gradually they began to gain true knowledge and fear of God.

  • Take Abraham and Job for example,

  • both of them magnified God and revered God in their hearts.

  • It was through their experiences that they were able to know the almightiness

  • and the wisdom of God who dominates over all things.

  • They saw that everything man has is due to God's blessing and God's grace,

  • which generated their true faith in God.

  • That is why they could still extol the holy name of God amid trials,

  • created beautiful and resounding testimonies

  • and received God's blessing as a result.

  • Peter recognized that the Lord Jesus is the Christ,

  • that Lord Jesus is the Son of the living God,

  • not through familiarizing himself with the Old Testament,

  • but through pursuing truth

  • and practically obeying the word and work of the Lord Jesus,

  • through the Holy Spirit's work,

  • and through gradually getting to know God's true loveliness

  • and His disposition and all that He has and is.

  • In the end,

  • he managed to achieve an ultimate love for God and obedience unto death,

  • thus creating a beautiful and resounding testimony for God.

  • In addition, during the time the Lord Jesus worked,

  • those who did follow Him all perceived

  • in His utterance the authority and power of His word.

  • They recognized that it was the voice of God and decided to follow Lord Jesus.

  • They also created beautiful and resounding testimonies

  • in spreading the Lord Jesus' gospel.

  • When God returns to flesh and then appears to work during the last days,

  • many people who never believed in Lord Jesus and never read the Bible

  • have nonetheless attained the work of the Holy Spirit

  • through accepting and obeying the judgment of Almighty God's word.

  • They have gradually developed true knowledge of and obedience toward God.

  • Persecuted by the regime of the great red dragon,

  • they've created overcoming testimonies.

  • This is a fact that all are able to see.

  • Only those who have experienced God's work

  • and ultimately created beautiful and resounding testimonies for God

  • are people who truly know God and obey God.

  • Those who only interpret the Bible but have not truly borne witness

  • belong with religious charlatans.

  • Those religious Pharisees and pastors despise and hate the truth.

  • They familiarize themselves with the Bible and explain the Bible

  • not because they pursue the truth and knowledge of God.

  • Rather, it is completely for showing off, deceiving and caging people.

  • When God becomes flesh and appears to do His work,

  • they even view the truth-expressing Christ as enemy

  • and essentially crucify God again.

  • Therefore, they are rejected and cursed by God.

  • This fully exposes their truth-hating, God-opposing, antichrist essence.

  • The work of God incarnate in the last days has revealed all mankind

  • as well as classified people in accordance with their kind.

  • God's work truly beyond any doubt is almighty and wise!

  • Indeed. Absolutely. It's true. I totally agree.

  • This has helped me understand

  • that knowledge of God can only be achieved

  • through experiencing God's word and attaining the work of the Holy Spirit. (Mm.)

  • Yeah. We used to think

  • that these pastors who are familiar with the Bible and can explain the Bible

  • surely must know God.

  • It seems this is very wrong. (Yes. Mm.)

  • The words expressed by Almighty God are all the truth, and are the voice of God.

  • Most pastors not only refuse to acknowledge it,

  • they even outright condemn and resist it.

  • This is quite sufficient to show that they are not people who know God.

  • Well said!

  • Absolutely. Yes, if people who believe in God do not love the truth,

  • and don't pay attention to practicing the word of God,

  • then they aren't truly experiencing the work of God.

  • If people only care about equipping themselves

  • with Bible knowledge and theological theories

  • to build up their own prestige so people can worship and follow them,

  • then they'll naturally become hypocritical Pharisees. (Mm.)

  • Allow me to read a passage of Almighty God's word.

  • I'll read next!

  • God's word is indeed the truth. It's so good. Such a good thing.

  • Almighty God's words expose the truth-hating nature and

  • the substance of the religious leaders, pastors and Pharisees.

  • They familiarize themselves with and explain the Bible,

  • all so they can stand out and show off.

  • They use it to deceive and cage people

  • while protecting their own status and livelihoods.

  • It is not at all to communicate the truth and testify to God,

  • nor to bring people before Him.

  • They pretend to be godly on the outside

  • and yet they don't revere God in their hearts whatsoever.

  • When Almighty God expresses the truth and performs judgment of the last days,

  • to protect their own status and their own livelihoods,

  • they all do everything they can to spread rumors and release fallacies

  • to delimit God and condemn God's work of the last days.

  • They say things like "God's words and work are all in the Bible,

  • anything beyond the Bible is heresy,"

  • and "Believing in God is believing in the Bible,

  • the Bible represents God," and so forth,

  • and spread all sorts of fallacies

  • to prevent people from seeking and investigating the true way.

  • So pastors try to protect their status

  • and that's why they resist and condemn Almighty God! (Indeed.)

  • It shows that when religious pastors use occasions for explaining the Bible

  • as opportunities to interpret the Bible falsely, delimit God and to oppose God,

  • it is due to their truth-hating and God-resisting satanic nature.

  • Throughout history, the religious world has in fact been ruled

  • by hypocritical Pharisees and antichrists.

  • They worship the Bible and exalt the Bible,

  • all so they can deceive and control God's chosen people,

  • and consolidate their status and livelihoods.

  • It is not at all to testify to God

  • nor to guide people into the reality of truth,

  • nor is it to bring them before God.

  • Therefore, when Almighty God comes to perform His work of the last days,

  • the truth-hating, God-resisting antichrist nature

  • of religious pastors and leaders is thoroughly exposed.

  • Under the guise of "defending the truth and protecting the flock,"

  • they focus on opposing Almighty God, Christ of the last days,

  • and turning the religious world into a staunch bastion of opposition to God.

  • Do you still fail to see this fact?

  • Your fellowship has benefited me.

  • It has allowed me to see through

  • the truth-hating and God-resisting satanic nature of religious pastors.

  • They interpret the Bible out of context

  • so as to delimit God and condemn God's work,

  • doing their utmost to make up all sorts of rumors to deceive people,

  • all so they can put people under their control

  • and prevent them from seeking and examining the true way.

  • Their resistance against God is utterly obvious!

  • Yes. That's right. I agree.

  • I never knew that they could be so malicious!

  • Me neither.

  • For the sake of their status and livelihoods,

  • they have no problem with ruining our lives.

  • Their hearts are truly black!

  • They really are soul-devouring demons!

  • Absolutely true. It's true. Right.

  • Today, we've received discernment.

  • It is Almighty God's word

  • that has indeed saved us from the bondage of the religious Pharisees! (Amen!)

  • We offer thanks to Almighty God! (Amen!)

  • Amen!

  • So pastors interpret the Bible for the sake of their status and livelihoods.

  • We were unable to discern and blindly believed them.

  • We really were muddle-headed!

  • Yes. They're afraid to lose their status,

  • so they do their utmost to cage and control us

  • and even prohibit us from seeking Almighty God's work of the last days.

  • Isn't this harming and ruining us? (Yes. Indeed. That's right.)

  • That's right. These pastors are so malicious!

  • Yes, I agree with you.

  • Their knowledge of the Bible and their theological theories

  • are just their empty rhetoric. (That's right.)

  • They do not have any true experience of God's words and work.

  • Yes, I agree. Indeed.

  • How are they exalting God at all?

  • It is completely to make themselves stand out and to exalt themselves! (Mm.)

  • They never lead us to practice the Lord's word or to experience His work.

  • Well said. Yes.

  • Therefore, we don't understand any truth after believing in God for years,

  • and we all lack any true knowledge of the Lord. (It's true.)

  • We believe in the Lord but don't magnify the Lord.

  • Instead, we blindly believe pastors,

  • listening to and obeying them in everything.

  • How could this receive God's approval?

  • Pastors have badly cheated us! (Yes. True.)

  • If it weren't for today's fellowship about Almighty God's word,

  • we would still think they are people who know God

  • simply because they're familiar with the Bible and can explain it.

  • We'd still rely on them to lead us to be brought up into the kingdom of heaven.

  • We are simply too blind and foolish! (Yes.)

  • If it weren't for today's fellowship, we would all be still kept in the dark!

  • Yes.

  • Yes. Well said.

  • Almighty God has worked for many years

  • and already He has made a group of overcomers.

  • His work's almost complete.

  • Yet we continued to be deceived and controlled by the pastors' fallacies,

  • stubbornly and blindly believing in the Bible,

  • doing all we could to deny God's work of the last days,

  • still looking to the sky

  • and waiting for our Savior to descend upon white clouds,

  • not knowing we almost missed our chance to be made into overcomers. (It's true.)

  • If it weren't for our seeking into Almighty God's word online,

  • we would still be listening to the lies of religious pastors.

  • We all would probably never be able to hear the Lord's voice

  • or welcome His appearance. (Yeah. It's true.)

  • The four blood moons have already taken place.

  • The great disasters have started to fall down already!

  • Yeah! It's true.

  • If Almighty God hadn't shown mercy on and also saved us,

  • we'd be weeping and gnashing our teeth in the disasters.

  • Yes. That's true.

  • It is very dangerous!

  • Let's give all thanks to Almighty God for saving us all! (Amen!)

  • Let us all thank Almighty God! (Amen!)

  • We have finally received the Lord! (Amen!)

  • Thanks be to God.

  • Never did I think I could receive the Lord in my lifetime.

  • It's my greatest honor in all my life! (Amen!)

  • I offer thanks to Almighty God! (Amen!)

  • Yeah, we have much to thank Almighty God for!

  • Indeed, we are ever so greatly blessed!

  • Amen!

  • I too thank Almighty God for His saving me! (Amen!)

  • For these many years, I was a believer of God but in name

  • and was actually worshiping man,

  • I was deceived by pastorsthe religious Pharisees.

  • I even blindly believed in and worshiped the Bible,

  • always using the Bible to delimit God and to replace God,

  • thinking that belief in God means believing in the Bible,

  • and departing from it means not believing in God.

  • They were like shackles that tightly bound me and fully tied me down,

  • making me unable to follow God's footsteps and experience God's work.

  • Blindly worshiping the Bible and looking up to and following the Pharisees

  • became obstacles to my accepting God's work of the last days

  • and continued to prevent me

  • from looking into and investigating Almighty God's work.

  • Today, it is the word of Almighty God

  • that has allowed me to discern the antichrist essence of pastors

  • to break out of their cage and their control

  • and to be brought before God's throne. (Amen!)

  • I am so thankful for Almighty God's exaltation and grace! (Amen!)

  • Henceforth, I'll pursue the truth hard,

  • proclaim Almighty God's work of the last days,

  • so I may bring all before God soon to repay His love and salvation. (Amen!)

  • Let us all thank Almighty God! (Amen!)

  • Praise God.

  • Amen!

  • Here you are. (Thank you.)

  • Hello.

  • Hi!

  • Hello!

  • The books you wanted are ready.

  • Those there? (Yes.)

  • Thank you!

  • Looks like there're many people accepting the gospel.

  • Yes. It's all God's work and His blessing! (Right.)

  • We should get going now.

  • OK, take care! (Thank you. Till later.)

  • Hi! (Hello!)

  • Here let me help you.

  • OK, thank you!

  • Let's go.

  • Okay.

  • Hello.
