God’s Work, God’s Disposition, and God Godself (3)

 The next is about loving the Lord and loving your neighbor as yourself. Were these words directly expressed in divinity? Obviously not! These words were all spoken in the humanity of the Son of man. Only man will say such words as these, “Love my neighbor as myself, and care for others as my own life.” Only man speaks in this way. God never speaks in this way, and at least in God’s divinity, there are no such words. This is because God does not need such a creed as “Love my neighbor as myself” to standardize his love for mankind, for God’s love for man is the natural manifestation of what he has and is. When have you ever heard God say such a word as “I love mankind as myself”? It is because love is in God’s substance and in what he has and is. His love for man, the way he treats man, and his attitude toward man are the natural expressions and manifestations of his disposition. He does not need to make a conscious effort to do anything or follow a certain way or a moral norm so as to be able to love others as himself; rather he naturally possesses such substance. What do you see here? When God does his work in humanity, many of his manners, many of his words, and many of the truths are expressed in human ways, while at the same time God’s disposition, what God has and is, and God’s will are also expressed for man to understand and know. What man understands and knows are exactly God’s substance and what God has and is, which represent God’s own original identity and position. That is to say, the Son of man incarnated in the flesh expresses God’s own original disposition and God’s substance to the utmost in a most accurate way. The humanity of the Son of man is not the hindrance and obstacle to the association and communication between man and the God in heaven, but instead is the only channel and bridge to connect mankind with the Creator. At this point, don’t you feel that the nature and way of the work the Lord Jesus did in the Age of the Grace are similar to those of this stage of work now in many aspects? In this stage of work, God also uses many words of humanity to express his disposition and uses much of everyday language or many words and ways of human knowledge to express his own will. Once God is incarnated, no matter whether he speaks in the position of humanity or in the position of divinity, many of his words or expressions are spoken in human language or human way. In other words, when God is incarnated, it is the best opportunity for you to see God’s almightiness and God’s wisdom and know all aspects of God’s practicalness. When God is incarnated, in his growth he knows, learns, and grasps in humanity some knowledge, common sense, and words or expressions from man. When the incarnated God equips himself with these things from the created mankind, they become a tool by which he expresses his disposition or expresses divinity in the flesh, so that when God works among men in the position of a man and with human language, he can do the work more appropriately, truly, and accurately, easier for man to approach and understand, thereby achieving the working results he desires. Isn’t it more practical that God works in this way in the flesh? Isn’t this God’s wisdom? When God was incarnated and his flesh was adequate to undertake the work he aimed to do, it was the time God’s disposition and God’s work would be expressed practically. At that time, that is, when the Son of man could formally begin to perform his ministry, it meant that there would no longer be the “generation gap” between man and God, it meant that God was about to stop the work of messengers conveying messages for him, and God Godself could personally express in the flesh all his words and works he aimed to express, and it also meant that the mankind God was saving became closer to God, meant that God’s management work entered a new realm, and meant that a brand new age was about to face the whole mankind.

God’s Work, God’s Disposition, and God Godself (3)

Next, let us look at the last word in this passage, “For the Son of man is Lord even of the sabbath day.” Does this word have its practical aspect? Can you see the practical aspect of this word? Every word of God is expressed from his heart. Why did he speak this word? How do you understand it? Now you may be able to understand its meaning. But at that time, not many people could understand it, because people of that time had just come out of the Age of the Law. To them, it was a very difficult thing to come out of the sabbath day, much less to understand what the true sabbath day is.

The word “the Son of man is Lord even of the sabbath day” tells people that God’s everything is non-material. Although God can supply all your material needs, when your material needs are satisfied, can the satisfaction these materials bring you substitute for your pursuit of the truth? Obviously, it cannot! God’s disposition and what God has and is we fellowship about are all the contents of the truth, and you cannot measure them by any material of great value, nor can you measure their value by money, because they are not material, and they are supplying what everyone needs in his heart. To everyone, the value of these non-material truths should surpass the value of anything you consider good. Can it be said so? You need to savor this word slowly. The important point I speak about is that what God has and is and God’s everything are most important to everyone, and they cannot be substituted by any material thing. Let me give you an illustration: When you are hungry, you need to take some food. The food can either be good or bad; as long as you fill yourself up, the unpleasant feeling of hunger in your stomach is gone and disappears, and you can quiet down while sitting there and your body can be in rest. You can solve the hunger in your stomach by food. However, when you, in following God, feel that your knowledge of God is nil, how can you solve the feeling of emptiness in your heart? Can you solve it by food? Or when you follow God but do not understand God’s will, what can you take to fill this hunger in your heart? In the course of your experiencing God’s salvation and when you pursue the transformation of your disposition, if you do not know God’s will, do not know what the truth is, and do not know about God’s disposition, you feel very worried, don’t you? You feel very thirsty in your heart, don’t you? These feelings cause you to have no rest in your heart, right? What can you take to fill this hunger in your heart? Do you have any way to solve it? Some went shopping, some went to several good friends to have a chat, some went to take a good sleep, and some spent more time reading God’s word or exerted more effort and strength in performing duty. Can these solve your practical difficulties? You all have much experience of these practices. When you feel you cannot make it as you wish and when you feel very thirsty for God’s inspiration so that you can understand the reality of the truth and understand God’s will, what do you need the most? What you need is not a good meal or some considerate words, much less the temporary ease and satisfaction of your flesh, but that God can directly and clearly tell you what to do and how to do it and let you understand clearly what the truth is. When you understand these, even bits of them, doesn’t your heart feel more satisfied than after having a good meal? When your heart is satisfied, doesn’t your heart or your whole being have a true rest? After I draw an analogy and analyze this thing like this, have you understood now why I let you look at the word “the Son of man is Lord even of the sabbath day”? The meaning of this word is that what is from God and what God has and is and God’s everything are greater than anything else, including the thing or the person you have regarded as most dear to you. In other words, if one cannot gain the words from God’s mouth or understand God’s will, he cannot possibly have a rest. In your future experience, you will understand why I let you look at this passage today, which is very important. Everything God does is the truth and the life. To man, the “truth” is an indispensable thing in his life and is something man cannot leave at any time, and it can be said to be the greatest thing. Although your eyes cannot see it and your hands cannot touch it, its importance to you cannot be neglected, and it is the only thing that can bring rest to your heart.

God’s Work, God’s Disposition, and God Godself (3)

The Lord Jesus came, and he told mankind by his practical act: God had come out of the Age of the Law and begun a new work; this new work no longer required people to keep the sabbath day; and “coming out of the sabbath day” was only a foretaste of God’s new work, and the real great work would go on. When the Lord Jesus began to work, he already went out of the “restriction” of the Age of the Law and broke the decrees and principles specified in the Age of the Law. Anything related to the law did not have any trace in him, and he discarded all of them and no longer kept them or required people to keep them. So, here you see that on the sabbath day the Lord Jesus went through the corn, and he did not have rest but worked outside, without a rest. His such an act countered man’s notions, telling people that he no longer lived under the law and he went out of the sabbath day and appeared before people and appeared among people with a completely new image and in a new way of working. His such an act told people that he brought a new work, which began with going out of the law and out of the sabbath day. When God did a new work, he would no longer cherish the old one or care about the decrees of the Age of the Law, nor would he be affected by the work done in the former age; rather he worked on the sabbath day all the same, and when his disciples were hungry, they could pluck the ears of corn and eat. All these were very normal in God’s eyes. With God, many works and words he aims to do and speak can have a new start. When he makes a new start, the old work he did before will no longer be mentioned or go on. This is because God works by his principles. When he wants to do a new work, that is, when he wants to bring people into the new stage of work, and when his work enters into a higher stage, if men continue to practice and keep the old sayings or decrees, God will not remember or approve it, because he has brought a new work and entered into a new working phase. When he brings a new work, he will appear to all people with a completely new image and in a completely new position and way, so that people can see his disposition and what he has and is in other different aspects. This is one of the purposes of his doing a new work. God does not hold on to old things or walk the old path. When he works and speaks, he does not, as man imagines, keep this or that prohibition. With God, everything is released and free, without any prohibition or restriction. What he brings to man are all freedom and release. He is a living God, and he is a God who exists truly and practically; he is not a puppet or a clay sculpture, and he is completely different from the idols enshrined and worshiped by men. He is fresh and living, and his work and word bring man solely life and light and freedom and release. Because he has the truth, the life, and the way, he does all the work he aims to do without any restriction. No matter what men say and no matter how mankind looks at his new work or comments on his new work, he will do the work he aims to do without any hesitation. He will not mind anyone’s notions or anyone’s critical views about his work and word, even man’s extreme opposition and resistance against his new work. No one among created beings should expect that he can measure what God does, circumscribe what God does, or slander, disturb, or wreck God’s work by man’s doctrines, man’s imaginations, man’s knowledge, or man’s moral concepts. When God does things or works, he is free from any prohibition, and he is not restricted by any person, matter, or thing and is immune to disturbance from any hostile force. As far as his new work is concerned, he is the King triumphing forever, and all the hostile forces and various kinds of human evil sayings and fallacies are trampled under his footstool. No matter which stage of new work he does, his work will surely be carried out among men, will surely be spread among men, and will surely be carried out without hindrance in the entire universe and crowned with success. This is God’s almightiness and wisdom and also God’s authority and power. So, the Lord Jesus could go out to work on the sabbath day in an open way, for in his heart there was not any regulation or any knowledge and doctrine from man. What he had was God’s new work and God’s way, and whatever work he did was the way that could set man free and released, could let man live in the light, and could make man alive. However, those who worshiped idols and worshiped false gods lived in satan’s bondage every day and were bound by various kinds of regulations and rules. They kept this prohibition today and that tomorrow, living without any freedom. They were like prisoners locked in cangues and chains, without any happiness. What does “prohibition” represent? It represents restriction, bondage, and evil! Once a man worships an idol, he worships a false god and an evil spirit, and prohibitions follow with that: This cannot be eaten, and that cannot be eaten; this day he cannot go out, next day he cannot cook, and the following day he cannot move; even the day for wedding and funeral has to be chosen, and even the day for giving birth. What are these? These are prohibitions, are bondages to man, and are shackles with which satan and evil spirits control man and restrict man’s spirit and body. With God, are there these prohibitions? When God’s holiness is mentioned, you should first think of this: With God, there is not any prohibition. God works and speaks by principles but without any prohibition, because God Godself is the truth, the way, and the life.

【東方閃電】全能神的發表《彼得的經歷——對刑罰、審判的認識》

【東方閃電】全能神教會是因主耶穌的再來——末世基督全能神在中國的作工而產生的，並非是哪個人設立的。基督就是真理、道路、生命，只要看了神的話語就看見神已顯現。

【東方閃電】全能神的發表《神是所有受造之物的主》

　　 以前两个时代的工作一步是在以色列作的，一步是在犹太作的，总的来说，两步工作都没离开以色列，都是在最初的选民身上作工。所以，对于以色列人来说，耶和华神只是以色列人的神，又因着耶稣在犹太作工，完成了钉十字架的工作，所以，在犹太人来看，耶稣就是犹太人的救赎主，他只是犹太人的王，他不是别人的王，他不是救赎英国人的主，也不是救赎美国人的主，乃是救赎以色列人的主，在以色列他救赎的是犹太人。其实神是万物的主宰，是所有受造之物的神，他不只是以色列人的神，也不只是犹太人的神，他是所有受造之物的神。以前那两步工作作在以色列，这样，人里面就形成了一些观念。人认为耶和华作工作在以色列，耶稣又亲自在犹太开展工作，而且是道成肉身在犹太作工作，不管怎么样他作工没出以色列这个范围。他不在埃及人身上作，也不在印度人身上作，只在以色列之民身上作，人便形成这样、那样的观念，而且把神的作工给规划在一个范围之内，说神要作工作务必在选民身上，神要作工作务必在以色列，除了以色列人神再也没有作工对象，也再没有作工范围，尤其对道成肉身的神更是严加“管教”，不许走出以色列这个范围。这不都是人的观念吗？神造了整个天地万物，造了所有的受造之物，他能只限制在以色列作工吗？那他造所有的受造之物有什么用处呢？他创造了整个世界，六千年的经营计划他不是只在以色列作，而是在全宇之下的人身上作。现在不管是中国的、美国的、英国的、俄罗斯的，所有的人都是亚当的后代，都是神造的，没有一个能超脱受造之物范围的，没有一个能摆脱亚当后裔的称呼，都是受造之物，都是亚当的后代，也都是经败坏的亚当、夏娃的后裔。不仅以色列人是受造之物，所有的人也同样是受造之物，只不过有的受造之物是遭咒诅的，有的受造之物是蒙祝福的。在以色列人身上有许多可取的东西，起初在他们身上作工就因为他们是败坏最浅的人，与他们相比中国人就不行了，比他们差多了，所以，起初在以色列众百姓中间作工，第二步工作仅在犹太作，因为这样人就形成了许多观念，形成许多规条。其实，若按人的观念去作，神就只是以色列人的神了，这样他就不能扩展外邦工作了，因为他只是以色列人的神，而不是所有受造之物的神。在预言书里说，耶和华的名必在外邦被尊为大，耶和华的名必传于外邦，为什么这样说呢？神如果只是以色列人的神，他就只在以色列作工，而且也不扩展这工作了，他也就不预言那话了，他既预言那话，必要在外邦、各国各方来扩展这工作，他既然说了就要作，这是他的计划，因他本来就是造天地万物的主，是所有受造之物的神。不管在以色列人身上作工，还是在犹太全地作工，他作的是全宇的工作，作的是全人类的工作。今天在大红龙国家作工，即在外邦中作他的工作仍是作全人类的工作，以色列可以是他在地作工的占据点，同样，中国也能成为他在外邦族作工的占据点，现在不就成就了“耶和华的名必在外邦被尊为大”这话了吗？作在外邦的工作的起步工作就是指作在大红龙国家这工作。尤其不合人观念的是道成肉身作工在这片土地上，作工在这些被咒诅的人身上，这些人是最低贱的，也是没有身价的，这些人都是起初被耶和华弃绝的人。人被人弃绝可以，若被神弃绝，那这些人是最没有一点地位的，身价是最低的了。作为一个受造之物，撒但侵占你，或者是你被人弃绝，这是人感觉痛苦的事，但是受造之物如果被造物的主弃绝了，那就意味着他的地位是最低的。摩押的后代是经咒诅的，而且又生在这落后的国家里面，无疑摩押后代是黑暗权势下地位最低的一类人。因着这些人以前的地位最低下，所以说作在这些人身上的工作是最打破人观念的工作，也是对整个六千年的经营计划最有益处的工作。把工作作在这些人身上最能打破人的观念，以这个开展时代，以这个打破一切人的观念，以这个来结束整个恩典时代的工作。起初作工作是在犹太，是在以色列范围以内作，根本没在外邦之中作开展时代的工作，最后一步工作不仅是作在外邦人身上，更是作在被咒诅过的人身上，就这一条是最能羞辱撒但的证据，从而神便“成了”全宇之下所有受造之物的神，成了万物的主，是所有有生机之物敬拜的对象。

　　 现在有些人还不明白神到底开展了什么新的工作，神在外邦又另外起了头，另外开始了时代，另外开展了工作，作在摩押后代身上，这不就是最新的工作吗？历世历代没有人经历过这工作，谁也没听过，更没有人领略过。神的智慧、神的奇妙、神的难测、神的高大、神的圣洁就借着末世这一步工作显明出来，这不是打破人观念的更新的工作吗？还有人这么想：“神既然咒诅了摩押，还说要弃绝摩押的后代，但现在怎么又拯救他们呢？”这些人是经神咒诅被赶出以色列的外邦人，以色列人称之为外邦狗。在所有的人来看，他们不仅是外邦狗，更是灭亡之子，这就是说他们不是神的选民。虽然他们最初生在以色列这个范围之内，但他们不属于以色列民，而且被驱逐到外邦，他们是最低贱的人。正因为他们是人类中最低贱的人，神才将开展时代的工作作在他们身上。因他们是败坏人类的代表，神的工作不是毫无选择、毫无目的的，今天作在这些人身上的工作也是作在受造之物身上的工作。挪亚是受造之物，挪亚后代还是受造之物，凡天下属血气的人都是受造之物。神作工作是针对所有的受造之物而言的，不是针对人被造之后是否被咒诅而言的，他的经营工作是针对所有的受造之物，不是未经咒诅的选民。既然要在受造之物身上作工作，那就一定要作成，哪些人对他工作有益处他就作在哪些人身上，所以说他打破一切规条来作工在人身上，什么被咒诅、被刑罚、被祝福，在他没这些说法！犹太人挺好，以色列选民也不错，素质高，人性也好，起初耶和华就在他们身上开展工作，作了最起初的工作，但到现在呢，若把他们拿出来作征服工作的对象就没有意义了，虽然他们也是受造之物，在他们身上有许多积极方面的东西，但若在他们身上作这步工作就没有意义了，不能征服人，也不能说服所有的受造之物，这就是把工作转到大红龙国家的这些人身上作工的意义。最深的意义就是开展时代，打破所有的规条，打破所有人的观念，也结束了整个恩典时代的工作。如果现在的工作还作在以色列人身上，那六千年经营计划结束时，所有的人都会认为神只是以色列人的神，只有以色列人才是神的选民，只有以色列人配承受神的祝福，配承受神的应许。神末世道成肉身在外邦的大红龙国家，完成了神是所有受造之物的神这一工作，完全了整个经营工作，将全部经营工作的中心在大红龙国家结束。三步工作的核心就是为了拯救人，即让所有的受造之物都敬拜造物的主，所以，每一步工作都作得相当有意义，没意义、无价值的事神绝对不作，这步工作一方面是开展时代，结束了以前那两个时代，另一方面打破人所有的观念，打破所有人的老旧信法、老旧的认识法。以前那两个时代都是按着人不同的观念作的工作，而这一步彻底打消人的观念，借此把人彻底征服。借用征服摩押的后代，借着作在摩押后代身上的工作再征服全宇之人，这是这步工作最深的意义，是这步工作最有价值的一面。现在你即使认识到自己身份低，身价也低，但是你仍会觉得现在承受了这么大的祝福，得着了这么大的应许，能够成就神这么大的工作，看见神的本来面目，认识神的原有性情，通行神的旨意，这是最幸福的事了。以前两步工作都在以色列作，假如末世这步工作还作在以色列人身上，所有受造之物不仅会认为只有以色列人是神的选民，而且整个经营计划就不能达到果效了。在以色列作两步工作期间，在外邦从来没有作过更新的工作，从来没有作过开展时代的工作，这步开展时代的工作，先在外邦作，而且先在摩押后代的人身上作，这就开展了整个时代。凡是人观念里面所认识的，神都给打破了，哪个都不得存在，人的观念、人以前那些老旧的认识法都在征服工作中给打破了。让人看见在神没有一点规条，没有一点老旧，在他作的工作全是释放、全是自由，他怎么作都对，只要是他在受造之物身上作的工作，你就得完全顺服下来，凡是他作的工作都有意义，他是按着他自己的意思、按着他的智慧作工作，并不是按着人的选择，并不是按着人的观念去作工作。对他的工作有益处的他就作，若对他的工作没益处，再好也不行！他是按着工作意义、按着工作目的作工作，选择作工对象、作工地点，他不按着以往的规条来作工，他不套旧的公式，他是按着工作意义而计划工作，最终要达到真实的果效，要达到预期的目的，现在你如果认识不到这些，这工作在你身上就达不到果效了。

The BBC Acts as the Vanguard of the CCP’s Suppressing the Underground Churches

by Jin Shen

(from China)

I’m a Christian of the Church of Almighty God. Living under the dark ruling of the CCP government, I’m very miserable and depressed. I often climb over the wall to read various articles of the BBC. From the BBC’s previous working style, I saw a media demeanor of “being fair, impartial, realistic, and accurate” and saw that the BBC put its editorial value into work well, which is “we seek to establish the truth of what has happened, and we strive to be honest and are committed to achieving due accuracy in our reports.” I felt that the BBC was a trustworthy western media and a just organization that strived for the freedom and democracy for the vulnerable groups.

Recently, I saw that the BBC directly quoted “the Murder in Zhaoyuan, Shandong Province” reported by the CCP’s “mouthpiece” media, the CCTV, and stood on the CCP’s side to discredit the Church of Almighty God. I felt disappointed and sorry about it!

To my surprise, as a rather influential media magnate in the world, the BBC should have respected the freedom of religious belief and paid attention to equal human rights; however, in reporting “the Murder in Zhaoyuan, Shandong Province,” it didn’t make inquiries or investigations about this case or interview the Church of Almighty God. Without any evidence, the BBC affirmed directly that the six murderers are members of the “Church of Almighty God.” Besides, it broadcast the false case full of holes which was engineered by the CCP and was exposed and attacked by the public. Even with the condition that many netizens proved through online manhunt that Zhang Lidong is the owner of a gold miner, the BBC, against its “realistic” editorial value, still held the same opinion as the evil CCP, without making any investigation of the case. We can’t help suspecting the BBC: Is it that the BBC is no longer what it was before? Has it been assimilated by the CCP, the evil party, and lost the media attribute of “being impartial and objective”? Has it become the “mouthpiece” of the evil CCP?

On August 14, the BBC China editor Ms. Carrie actually wrote an article entitled The Chinese Cult that Kills “Demons,” explicitly putting herself on the evil CCP’s stand to make an extended report of “the Murder in Zhaoyuan, Shandong Province.” In the article, she claimed that she interviewed a man named Wang Jiannan. Additionally, according to his one-sided statement, she alleged that the Church of Almighty God is “killing demons,” undoubtedly doing a favor for the CCP’s framing and defaming the Church of Almighty God. Moreover, such a deed is astonishingly similar to the deed of the CCP media’s identifying Zhang Lidong and the others as members of the “Church of Almighty God” without collecting evidence! We can barely understand: As a world-famous media magnate, facing such a special case, it should have made a deep investigation and restored the truth, adhering to the western media philosophy of “being fair, impartial, and realistic.” However, without making any investigations or inquiries about the Church of Almighty God or asking the man for the factual evidence, you willfully accused that members of the Church of Almighty God “kill demons.” Almighty God has worked in China over twenty years and there are millions of followers of Almighty God. If everyone had “killed demons,” how many people would have been killed in China? How many murders would have happened in the land of China? However, why hasn’t the CCP government given us a factual evidence until now?

As we all know, the evil CCP assumes the notorious dictatorship, and it is globally considered as the biggest clique of underworld gangsters embodying lies and violence and it is the most frenzied evil force that suppresses and persecutes the religious belief. As a news media which represents the western universal values, you BBC not only don’t lash out at the deed of the evil CCP’s persecuting religions or defend the suppressed vulnerable groups, but instead become the “mouthpiece” of the CCP, colluding with it to be its alliance. We can’t help asking, “Why do you BBC willingly abandon the media demeanor of ‘being impartial and objective’? Why do you beat the drum for the evil force in the world even at the cost of violating the western universal values? Are you driven by interests? Or are you trying to win the trade of China for the British government?” If this is the truth of the fact, then BBC, how far can you go? Does a media that speaks and defends for the evil force have credit? BBC, you have lost the dignity of a media and you’ll pay a painful price for your consciencelessness. The BBC writes for the evil CCP to suppress the Church of Almighty God. That means it is rubbing salt into the wounds of millions of innocent Christians who are undergoing the CCP government’s inhuman persecution! It is acting as a headsman for the evil CCP, and it is mercilessly strangling Chinese people’s hope of pursuing the freedom of human rights!

Why Has the Famous Media BBC Become the CCP’s Spokesman?

by Mo Ran

(from China)

Since the establishment of the BBC, it has received the favorable comment of people from various countries and the respect of other media with its aim of fearing no power, not being driven by profits, respecting human rights, safeguarding justice, and reporting the true fact objectively. However, on August 14, 2014, an article entitled A Report on the Spot: The Chinese Cult that Kills “Demons” on the BBC Chinese website, which was written by Carrie, the BBC China editor, greatly surprised me. I never expected that the BBC would speak for the CCP and conduct propaganda and crack down on religious belief for the CCP. What makes the BBC become the CCP’s propaganda tool and its mouthpiece and spokesman?

Any of the sensible and conscientious Chinese people has seen clearly that “Zhaoyuan Incident in Shandong Province” is the scheme plotted by the evil CCP to crack down on the Church of Almighty God and that its inferior tactic which is full of loopholes has become a laughingstock among millions of netizens. The evil CCP has committed all kinds of conscienceless evil deeds and is rejected and hated by people all over the world. This evil party has afflicted and tormented Chinese people for more than sixty years, and even more it tries every possible way to persecute Almighty God, who is incarnated to carry out the end-time work in China. However, God’s wisdom is based on satan’s schemes, and God has made a group of people in China. Now when God’s gospel is spreading to the West, the evil CCP attempts to use the influence of the western first-class media to defame the Church of Almighty God through the distorted report and hinder the spreading of God’s kingdom gospel. Unexpectedly, the BBC, a famous media with high popularity worldwide, actually beats the drum for the evil CCP, frames and persecutes the underground churches, and acts as its mouthpiece! As everyone knows, the Communist Party has long become utterly notorious in the whole world and has to step off the stage of history. Would the BBC support the evil CCP which is about to collapse even at the cost of being spurned by all people in the world?

Before publishing this report, why didn’t Carrie contact the Church of Almighty God based on professional ethnics of being serious and responsible and investigating the true fact, but blindly believed the one-sided statement of an evil party that has no credibility at all and is spurned by all Chinese people and even the world? Why did she arbitrarily slander the Church of Almighty God? Carrie’s rash action has violated the BBC’s values of being impartial, honest, and accurate and finding out the true fact. People cannot but ask: Is the BBC a media or a ruling party? It is worth thinking that this report was published after Chinese Premier Li Keqiang had visited Britain with “a big gift package” worth 14 billion pounds. It seems no accident.

However, I still want to ask the BBC: Don’t you fear that one day you will feel ashamed to face the public when the truth is brought to light? Do you sell out conscience and abandon the universal values temporarily driven by economic interests? Or do you stand on the side of the evil CCP temporarily under government pressure? Can you still report the truth of the fact according to the principles of impartiality and objectivity and accuracy and stop misleading the whole world?

The Future of the Media Magnate BBC Is Worrying

by Xiao Xiao

(from Guangdong Province, China)

On August 14, the BBC Chinese website published an on-spot report entitled The Chinese Cult that Kills “Demons.” The article tacitly agrees that “the murder in Zhaoyuan, Shandong Province, China” is related to the “Church of Almighty God,” but also adds a tragedy of the family of a “victim,” Mr. Wang, implying that the Church of Almighty God is a cult that stops at no evil. This is undoubtedly the best assistance and support to the CCP government’s deed of cracking down on the underground churches.

As we all know, since April the CCP has launched a political campaign of cracking down on the “cults” in Mainland China. They not only unilaterally fix a list of twenty “cults,” but also high-handedly suppress the religious people in Xinjiang and other places. And they even demolish the churches and crosses in places such as Wenzhou, Zhejiang Province, arrest the ministers, seal off and expel the house churches, hunt and persecute the Christians….

The BBC’s guideline says, “Trust is the foundation of the BBC: we are independent, impartial and honest.” In over 90 years, as the biggest public news organization in Britain which is subsidized by the government but operates independently, the BBC took part in reporting almost every important news event of Britain. For a long time, the BBC has been considered one of the most respected media in the world. However, what’s puzzling is that after Chinese netizens raise many strong doubts about “the case in Zhaoyuan, Shandong Province,” the BBC actually chooses to issue such an incorrect report at the crucial moment when the world pays high attention to the religious freedom of China. It’s really astonishing and pitiful! Why is the reporting style of a world-class media so similar to the contemptible CCTV? Why does the BBC with the noble identity of the “voice of Britain” sing the same tune with the CCP?

The British government has been concerned about the human rights situation of China. However, to our disappointment, the BBC China editor Ms. Carrie simply stood on the CCP’s side in this report. Although it’s called “on-spot report,” it’s not objective or neutral and the content is partial and impetuous. She not only didn’t interview the Church of Almighty God but also hastily reached a conclusion and determined the nature of it. This way of doing makes people astonished at the BBC’s level of news reporting! We can’t help doubting: On the eve of the public trial of “the case in Zhaoyuan, Shandong Province,” what happened to the BBC, which asserts to “observe a strict neutrality and not to be disturbed by commerce”? How come it published such a report? To our doubt, why does the BBC, always having an insight to the affairs of the world and keeping the whole world in view, willingly act as the vanguard of rumoring and ballyhooing for the CCP? Why can’t it see clearly all at once what kind of party the CCP is? Why does it fail to see clearly all at once that the CCP is an expert at fabricating false news? Additionally, why can’t it see clearly the serious consequence of being hostile to the world, the mankind, and the history due to keeping company with the CCP?

All people of insight in the world see that the CCP is the real evil party and cult. Think back to the over sixty years since the CCP was in power in modern history. Black clouds weigh the country heavily with slaughter and fights everywhere, and bloody atrocities prevail in each place, where wails can be heard and people live in misery. It is these heads of devils weaving the lie of “communism” that pour in the generations of Chinese people the potions of “atheism” and “loving the party and the country” and publicly put the evil party in the place of God. Such a group of devils, which go against Heaven and run counter to right principles, can only bring the Chinese people to hell and to everlasting perdition! China has been claiming that it allows the “freedom of belief.” However, the Church of Almighty God has always been the object the CCP, the evil party, attacks and condemns, and thousands of people are arrested, detained, and cruelly tortured and even to disability or death. In face of these bloody facts, why does the sophisticated BBC play a role that is “silly and naive”? Why does it become selectively “blind” all at once? Is there a benefit chain hidden behind it? What kind of trade is concealed? These are the factors people can’t avoid thinking of.

As a Christian of the Church of Almighty God, I pay attention to the BBC and respect the BBC. So I hope that such an impartial media can be a model of resisting the vicious CCP and be a relatively impartial and true voice in the world. However, what the great majority of netizens worry about is that the public confidence level of the BBC has been declining over the decades. In 2012, due to the exposure of the sexual abuse scandal of its previous ace host and its incorrect coverage of a Parliament member’s child abuse case, the BBC’s CEO and news chief resigned successively, so that the BBC suffered the greatest crisis throughout its history. According to the analyses of various media, what the BBC that broadcasts the report of the facts lost most in this storm was the unrivaled public confidence that it once had owned.

The journalist John Simpson said, “Reputations once lost are very hard indeed to regain. People forget the precise reasons why they no longer have faith in an organisation, but the whiff of untrustworthiness lingers for a very long time. The BBC must have a thoroughgoing reform, though it will be painful. Or we will never regain the high reputation we enjoyed around the world until just a few weeks ago.”

Whenever the crisis of the public confidence comes out, it needs a long time effort to recover gradually. The incorrect report is one of maladies causing BBC’s many crises. The anger and disappointment of the public will surely turn into the paper money burnt on its funeral. It is the time BBC should have a deep examination. If the BBC doesn’t put an end to such a kind of report, its future is worrying! The chairman of the BBC Trust Chris Patten said, “Does the BBC need a thorough structural radical overhaul? Absolutely it does and that is what we will have to do.” I agree with Chairman Patten’s opinion and expect to see that BBC can again become the most respected media in the world through reformation.

We’ll wait and see how the BBC is going to resolve this problem.

The Future of the Media Magnate BBC Is Worrying

by Xiao Xiao

(from Guangdong Province, China)

On August 14, the BBC Chinese website published an on-spot report entitled The Chinese Cult that Kills “Demons.” The article tacitly agrees that “the murder in Zhaoyuan, Shandong Province, China” is related to the “Church of Almighty God,” but also adds a tragedy of the family of a “victim,” Mr. Wang, implying that the Church of Almighty God is a cult that stops at no evil. This is undoubtedly the best assistance and support to the CCP government’s deed of cracking down on the underground churches.

As we all know, since April the CCP has launched a political campaign of cracking down on the “cults” in Mainland China. They not only unilaterally fix a list of twenty “cults,” but also high-handedly suppress the religious people in Xinjiang and other places. And they even demolish the churches and crosses in places such as Wenzhou, Zhejiang Province, arrest the ministers, seal off and expel the house churches, hunt and persecute the Christians….

Why Has the Famous Media BBC Become the CCP’s Spokesman?

by Mo Ran

(from China)

Since the establishment of the BBC, it has received the favorable comment of people from various countries and the respect of other media with its aim of fearing no power, not being driven by profits, respecting human rights, safeguarding justice, and reporting the true fact objectively. However, on August 14, 2014, an article entitled A Report on the Spot: The Chinese Cult that Kills “Demons” on the BBC Chinese website, which was written by Carrie, the BBC China editor, greatly surprised me. I never expected that the BBC would speak for the CCP and conduct propaganda and crack down on religious belief for the CCP. What makes the BBC become the CCP’s propaganda tool and its mouthpiece and spokesman?

Any of the sensible and conscientious Chinese people has seen clearly that “Zhaoyuan Incident in Shandong Province” is the scheme plotted by the evil CCP to crack down on the Church of Almighty God and that its inferior tactic which is full of loopholes has become a laughingstock among millions of netizens. The evil CCP has committed all kinds of conscienceless evil deeds and is rejected and hated by people all over the world. This evil party has afflicted and tormented Chinese people for more than sixty years, and even more it tries every possible way to persecute Almighty God, who is incarnated to carry out the end-time work in China. However, God’s wisdom is based on satan’s schemes, and God has made a group of people in China. Now when God’s gospel is spreading to the West, the evil CCP attempts to use the influence of the western first-class media to defame the Church of Almighty God through the distorted report and hinder the spreading of God’s kingdom gospel. Unexpectedly, the BBC, a famous media with high popularity worldwide, actually beats the drum for the evil CCP, frames and persecutes the underground churches, and acts as its mouthpiece! As everyone knows, the Communist Party has long become utterly notorious in the whole world and has to step off the stage of history. Would the BBC support the evil CCP which is about to collapse even at the cost of being spurned by all people in the world?

Before publishing this report, why didn’t Carrie contact the Church of Almighty God based on professional ethnics of being serious and responsible and investigating the true fact, but blindly believed the one-sided statement of an evil party that has no credibility at all and is spurned by all Chinese people and even the world? Why did she arbitrarily slander the Church of Almighty God? Carrie’s rash action has violated the BBC’s values of being impartial, honest, and accurate and finding out the true fact. People cannot but ask: Is the BBC a media or a ruling party? It is worth thinking that this report was published after Chinese Premier Li Keqiang had visited Britain with “a big gift package” worth 14 billion pounds. It seems no accident.

However, I still want to ask the BBC: Don’t you fear that one day you will feel ashamed to face the public when the truth is brought to light? Do you sell out conscience and abandon the universal values temporarily driven by economic interests? Or do you stand on the side of the evil CCP temporarily under government pressure? Can you still report the truth of the fact according to the principles of impartiality and objectivity and accuracy and stop misleading the whole world?

EasternLightning | TheChurch of Almighty God came into being because of the work of the returned Lord Jesus—the end-time Christ, “AlmightyGod”—in China, and it isn’t established by any person. Christ is the truth, the way, and the life. After reading God’s word, you will see that God has appeared.

Why Does the Well-known BBC Become the CCP’s Accomplice?

by Huang Xia

(from Hong Kong, China)

For many years, in the hearts of the people of all countries, the BBC, for taking not fearing power, upholding impartiality, reporting the truth of the fact objectively, respecting religious belief, and so on, as its aim, is judged one of the media most respected worldwide. But on August 14, 2014, a report in the BBC Chinese website greatly disappoints many net friends who deeply trust the BBC. Particularly, some parts in this article that are not objective make the sensible net friends begin to red light the trust towards the BBC.

As the Christians of the Church of Almighty God, we are shocked by this report of the BBC even more greatly. Next let’s look at the problems in this report together.

I. The title of this article is “A Report on the Spot: The Chinese Cult that Kills ‘Demons.’” Before writing this article, has the author Carrie really made an on-the-spot investigation in the Church of Almighty God? If not, how much can this article be trusted? We believers in God mainly strive to have our life disposition transformed through reading Almighty God’s word and understanding the truth. God requires us to have conscience and sense in our living out, to be forbearing, patient, and tolerant, and so on, and in the end to live out the likeness of a real man. Whether others are “demons” or not is not the subject of our life entering in and it has nothing to do with us. So, with us there is not such an absurd saying of “killing demons.” But the two men mentioned in the article both say that

the believers in Almighty God are “killing demons.” This runs counter to God’s teaching to us. I would like to ask the author these questions: When you published this article, have you learned the purpose of our believing in God in the Church of Almighty God? Have you ever contacted the Christians of the Church of Almighty God? Have you made a practical research about what Zhang Lidong and Wang Jiannan said? If your answers to all these questions are “no,” is it suitable for you to use “a report on the spot” in the article? Such an act of the BBC has not only gone against the tenet of being objective and impartial in managing its media, which it had always upheld, but it is a very irresponsible act to the public.

II. In this report, except for Zhang Lidong known to all, who is the leading role in the “5/28 Zhaoyuan Incident,” through which the CCP wantonly defames and frames the Church of Almighty God, there appears another so-called victim named Wang Jiannan who gives some “evidence.” Yet those who are careful will find that in the report, only Wang Jiannan himself speaks from beginning to end, without any concrete evidence at all. In the report, Wang firmly says that his sister and mother are members of the Church of Almighty God. According to the independent reporting style of the BBC, why hasn’t it gone to check with Wang’s sister since she is in prison? Besides, he says that they have believed for about 20 years; yet she killed her father on the excuse of “killing a demon.” This is completely contrary to the word of Almighty God. Then their identities are suspect. So, only with a picture of a man’s mourning for the dead before a grave, it plants all the problems on the Church of Almighty God. Is this convincing? According to the author’s reasoning, shouldn’t it be concluded that the suffering of all those who mourn before graves is caused by the “killing demons” of the Church of Almighty God? Is such evidence tenable? The BBC says in its tenet of “trust”:  “Trust is the foundation of the BBC: We are independent, impartial and honest. We are committed to achieving the highest standards of due accuracy and impartiality and strive to avoid knowingly or materially misleading our audiences.” Then is the BBC’s deed keeping the promise of striving to achieve accuracy in reporting? Or is it upholding its tenet of not misleading its audiences?

III. We are perplexed about the two video screenshots quoted in the article. We all know that to learn about the content of an article or a film, we should at least read this article or watch this film, and then we can give our opinions. However, in this report, it only selects and quotes two screenshots from the two films of the Church of Almighty God, and it adds its own opinions and comments about them without respecting the original purposes of the authors and the Church of Almighty God to make these two films. Moreover, it misleads people onto a pathway contrary to the original intentions of the film makers. Such misleading doesn’t respect the fact, much less care about the public feelings. The BBC says in its tenet of “Serving the Public Interests”: “We seek to report stories of significance to our audiences. We will be rigorous in establishing the truth of the story and well informed when explaining it.” This report of the BBC not only hasn’t served the public interests or reported the fact, but on the contrary it has brought loss to the public interests: Before watching the films, they have been infused with a wrong viewpoint. Isn’t this thoughtless and improper? Besides, as to whether the viewpoints in the article are accordant with the facts, the public can draw a conclusion only after making an investigation themselves. If the BBC really upholds the tenet of “transparency” it claims, shouldn’t it publish the links of these two films on the Internet and let the public judge them themselves, only which can be said to be transparent?

Many people in the world know that the CCP government cruelly maltreats dissidents: In the world-shocking “6/4 Incident” in 1989, the CCP used tanks and machine guns to suppress the defenseless students who sat in the Tiananmen Square petitioning for democracy; in the Tibet issue, in order to maintain its dictatorship the CCP created false cases and slaughtered the Tibetan people bloodily, and all at once the blood flowed like rivers in the Tibet. Now, in China so many people have no way to live because their houses are forcibly torn down by the CCP, and when they petition with grievances, they are arrested and put in prison and secretly killed; and so many believers in Almighty God are imprisoned illegally by the CCP and are maimed or killed; … As a western mainstream media, you should see that not only the people in the whole Mainland China are disclosing the CCP, but the people of various countries and the media in the West have all seen the cruelty of the CCP’s fighting the dissidents and especially persecuting the religion. It’s no wonder that the western democratic countries call China a country in the axis of evil. Under the ruling of the CCP, the Chinese people have no human rights at all. As for such an evil party, haven’t you, the BBC, seen it through? An agency who bears the glory and image of Britain and its people actually turns into the CCP’s mouthpiece and speaks for it at such a time. We are greatly shocked by it! BBC, what qualification do you have to stand as a star in the ranks of impartial media of the world?

Why does the BBC, even in a matter that everyone with a discerning eye can see through, go against its aim of managing the media and speak against the fact? Is it motivated by money or forced by power? Is the BBC a media or a ruling party? In June this year, Li Keqiang, the Chinese premier, paid a sudden visit to Britain and signed commercial contracts with Britain worth 14 billion pounds. This makes it very natural for people to link that with this BBC report. The BBC, a media widely recognized by the world and deeply respected by its fellows, actually discards the dignity of speaking the truth for the sake of money and interests, which is really incredible! We can only say this with sadness: BBC, you have lost your former aura of an “impartial” media.

EasternLightning | TheChurch of Almighty God came into being because of the work of the returned Lord Jesus—the end-time Christ, “AlmightyGod”—in China, and it isn’t established by any person. Christ is the truth, the way, and the life. After reading God’s word, you will see that God has appeared.

英国媒体巨头BBC也向中共讨饭吃

http://bbs.wolfax.com/t-46974-1-1.html

大陆媒体为中国共产党宣传、制造舆论，我们都司空见惯，并不感到意外。但是西方著名媒体也为中共效力，实在发人深省。我们以为西方媒体有良知，能客观公正地报导事实真相。想不到英国BBC，这家世界最大的公共广播公司，竟然一而再，再而三地刊登与中共论调一致的报导，打压中国地下教会。这到底是怎么一回事呢？我们有必要来探讨一下。

5月31日BBC报导了山东招远命案。报导主要引用中国警方、中方媒体的数据，与中共操控的媒体一致地突出“信邪教谋杀案”和“凶手是信全能神的人”。这些讯息正是中共所要传达的。BCC既没有向全能神教会了解和求证指控是否属实，也不调查研究证据是否充分、是否合理、是否成立，就作出了相当肯定的报导，有意识地将“邪教”、“杀人”与全能神教会画上等号。

8月14日和8月15日BBC在山东招远命案上作了延伸报导。BBC驻华总编辑凯瑞（Carrie Gracie）实地采访了一位声称有两位家人信全能神的人士,为中共的论调“信邪教杀人”提供具体个案。同样地，这位BBC中国总编辑着重报导受访者单方面的内容，没有调查研究访问内容是否属实，更没有联系全能神教会作任何回应，就再次作出了不客观、不公正, 却又相当肯定的报导误导读者，让公众加深了“信全能神的人除魔杀人”的印象。BBC为中共定性全能神教会是“邪教”提供了“证据”，也为中共展开重点抓捕全能神教会基督徒造势。

众所周知，中国是一个无神论国家。自中国共产党执政以来，政府从来不许人敬拜神、跟随神。在中共专制统治下，中国人民从小就被灌输人类进化论、“世上没有救世主”等邪说谬论蒙蔽。信神就得到政府操控的教堂聚会，参加地下教会则遭打压迫害。中共还把正常的教会生活说成是非法扰乱社会治安，大肆抓捕软禁传道人，运用舆论、政治、法律、酷刑等手段打压迫害信神的人。中共为了维护它的专制统治、控制牢笼人民，不惜动用电视、网络、报纸等媒体传播各种谣言，抹黑陷害全能神教会；它又制造山东招远假案，栽赃全能神教会，然后倾全国之力抓捕迫害全能神教会基督徒，企图取缔全能神的末世作工。这些都是有目共睹的事实。中共疯狂抵挡神是因其撒但本性，因为只有撒但才这样仇恨神、与神敌对。

为什么BBC能与中共连手栽赃陷害、抹黑、打压全能神教会呢?这样给中共抵挡神卖力、为中共箝制信仰自由而造势，究竟BBC是英国媒体，还是中共的爪牙呢？我们不得不质疑BBC的职业操守。

在BBC官方网站上能找到的BBC编辑价值观，列明了“真实与准确”的报导要求: “我们致力建立所发生事情的真相，力求精确的报导。精确不是简单的只求正确地取得事实; 必要时，我们会衡量相关的事实和信息以发掘真相。我们的报导，视乎主题和性质而定，是建立于妥善的信息来源、可靠的证据、彻底的验证，用清晰而精确的语言表达。我们会力求诚实，坦承什么是我们不知道的，并且避免作无根据的猜测。”很明显，BBC不惜违背了他们所公开的编辑价值观作报导,还“意外地”与绝大多数的中国媒体水平和论调保持一致，赤裸裸地传播中共捏造的假新闻假消息，攻击全能神教会。究竟什么驱使BBC能作这样的报导呢？

从英国近年经济贸易状况也许会看到一些端倪。2008年金融大海啸，英国受冲击大，经济严重衰退，好不容易才复苏。近期英国贸易赤字持续扩大，正在此时，中国访问英国，签署了140亿英镑的商业合同。在经济利益驱使下，英国妥协了对中国人权状况关注。BBC是英国政府公帑支持的，政治导向不言而喻。再者，中共高价收买外国媒体人和政客已不是什么秘密，他们让这些人在关键时候发挥作用，达到其政治目的。

这样，BBC编辑价值观里的“编辑完整和从外部利益中独立”也成笑话了：“英国广播公司在英国和世界各地的声誉，是建立于其编辑的完整性和独立性。我们的观众绝对能够信任BBC和有信心我们的编辑是不受外部利益，政治和商业压力，或任何个人利益影响。”其实，英国政府早就公布了将考虑让公营的BBC通过其他手段来融资，所以对BBC来说还有什么比金钱更重要呢？

我们以为西方社会应该比中国社会有理性，能尊重和包容不同人的宗教信仰，更有公信力的媒体监察与法律保障，使人民的人权和自由不受剥削。很遗憾，BBC 作了这些报导后,也许会在经济上得到一些回报, 但他们却出卖了BBC近百年来秉承的宗旨和价值观，也出卖了媒体编辑自主的尊严,更出卖了西方社会赖以成功的普世价值。何况，BBC来自信奉基督教的英国，为什么与抵挡神的中共政府狼狈为奸呢？为什么BBC能站在世上最黑暗邪恶的中共政府一边，连手打压全能神教会呢？这不是羞辱英国人民吗？可预料到的后果是BBC将会失去了世界人民对他们得来不易的信任和支持。BBC公信力成疑，不恨恶邪恶反与魔鬼同谋，还有什么资格站在世界公正媒体的一边呢？我们还能相信以后BBC会报导事实真相，为正义发声吗？

我们以为西方社会应该比中国社会有理性，能尊重和包容不同人的宗教信仰，更有公信力的媒体监察与法律保障，使人民的人权和自由不受剥削。很遗憾，BBC 作了这些报导后,也许会在经济上得到一些回报, 但他们却出卖了BBC近百年来秉承的宗旨和价值观，也出卖了媒体编辑自主的尊严,更出卖了西方社会赖以成功的普世价值。何况，BBC来自信奉基督教的英国，为什么与抵挡神的中共政府狼狈为奸呢？为什么BBC能站在世上最黑暗邪恶的中共政府一边，连手打压全能神教会呢？这不是羞辱英国人民吗？可预料到的后果是BBC将会失去了世界人民对他们得来不易的信任和支持。BBC公信力成疑，不恨恶邪恶反与魔鬼同谋，还有什么资格站在世界公正媒体的一边呢？我们还能相信以后BBC会报导事实真相，为正义发声吗？
