(John 5:46) For had ye believed Moses, ye would have believed me: for he wrote of me. ～～When I saw this passage, I was truly astonished! Many Christians say that Jesus only appears in the New Testament, but we all know that Moses is a figure from the Old Testament. If Jesus only appears in the New Testament, where was Jesus in the Old Testament? If Jesus says that the book of Moses speaks of Him, then it tells us one fact—Jesus already appeared in the Old Testament! Yesterday, while handing out flyers on the street, an elderly sister asked us: Which is closer to God, Catholicism or Christianity? I felt that this elderly sister had evil intentions, asking us such a ridiculous question in minus 7 or 8 degrees Celsius! Does the question of which is closer to God, Catholicism or Christianity, really matter? Many people are constantly caught up in "religion," and even if these people become "charlatans," are they closer to God? No! Whether it's Buddhism, Taoism, Catholicism, Christianity, Judaism, Hinduism, Islam, or any other religion, all religions must do one thing: Bring people before God, not create false gods for themselves! If these believers worship "false gods," even if these false gods are before every congregation, they are nothing more than clay idols (dolls) that cannot speak, move, or walk! Why should we worship God? The purpose of worshipping God is to have God watch over and protect our daily lives, allowing us to live in abundance, peace, and joy in this life, and we also have the extra reward—the hope of eternal life!
I want to use this article to answer that elderly sister: A person whose heart is not kind, regardless of what religion they believe in, is far from God! An unkind and evil person is closest to the devil! And what religion does the devil belong to? The "devil" is hidden in every religion! The true God is: Holy, righteous, faithful, merciful, and loving! If you violate these attributes, then you are worshipping the "devil"! Therefore, "worshiping God" is not about what religion you belong to! "Worshiping God" is about our "attributes of God"! What is Christianity? Whom do Christians worship? Regardless of Christianity or Christians, we have only one one true God, the Triune God, the only Creator, the Lord who judges both the body and the soul! Why did Jesus say that the Book of Moses contained words about him? It's simple! Christianity worships the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit! Therefore, we must understand that the God most frequently mentioned in the Old Testament is Jehovah God! Jehovah God's messenger is his Son, Jesus. Didn't Moses frequently mention Jesus? Furthermore, we often see in the Old Testament that the Spirit of God was with Joseph and departed from Saul. Therefore, we must know that the God we worship is the Triune God! The Triune God has existed since the Old Testament, so our belief in the Trinity (Father, Son, and Holy Spirit) is entirely correct. We can be even more certain of one thing: The Triune God has existed since time immemorial, and of course, our God will exist forever.
Many religious leaders use deception to consolidate their followers. This explains why, despite the increasing number of religions in modern times, the world is becoming increasingly evil! Why are religions becoming more evil? It's because these religious leaders have turned religion into a tool for personal enrichment, and these religious leaders don't understand the "true attributes of God" at all! Many religions worship the "devil"! Why do these religions worship the devil? Because they don't care about God's attributes; they only care about satisfying their personal desires. These religious leaders only turn their congregations into sacrifices to the devil! Many religious leaders constantly exploit their congregations, leading them to follow the devil, resorting to any means to make money. I just shared with a younger brother: No matter how wealthy a person is, they only have one mouth, one stomach, and one body. No matter how rich a person is, how much food can they eat? How many clothes can they wear? If a person's entire life and energy are wasted on satisfying the lust of the eyes, the lust of the flesh, and the pride of this life, isn't that person truly pathetic? Because we waste our lives pursuing the lust of the eyes, the lust of the flesh, and the pride of this life, only to find at the end of our lives that we truly have nothing! Many people spend their entire lives pursuing something, only to realize near death that what they've been chasing is ultimately "nothing"! What are the differences between religions? What is the true purpose of religious faith? These are questions that congregations need to consider! I know that Christianity believes in the "Trinity of God"! We don't believe in an "icon"; Christianity believes in the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit! Christians follow the attributes of God: holiness, faithfulness, justice, love, and mercy! What is the ultimate goal of Christians? Christians need to store up treasures in heaven! Why do Christians want to store up treasures in heaven? Because Christians have peace, joy, and abundance in this life, and even more importantly, they have the hope of eternal life! This is what makes a true Christian! If a Christian does not have the hope of eternal life, then he is not a true Christian!
