“God does the work of the word in the last days, and such words are that of the Holy Spirit, for God is the Holy Spirit and can also become flesh; therefore, the words of the Holy Spirit, as spoken of in the past, are the words of the incarnate God today. … For God to speak utterances to carry out work, He must become flesh, else His work cannot accomplish His goal” (from “How Can Man Who Has Defined God in His Conceptions Receive the Revelations of God?” in The Word Appears in the Flesh).
On November 20–21, 2017, in just two days, seventeen reports attacking The Church of Almighty God (CAG) were published intensively on Ta Kung Pao and Wen Wei Po, the mouthpiece media of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) in Hong Kong (HK), citing the rumors and fallacies consistently fabricated by the CCP to discredit and condemn the CAG. What signal can we get from the CCP’s sudden attack and condemnation against the CAG in HK? What will the situation of religion be like in HK? Prof. Massimo Introvigne, an Italian sociologist, the founder and managing director of the Center for Studies on New Religions (CESNUR), makes comment on this.
In 1991, Almighty God, the returned Lord Jesus in the last days, appeared and began to work, expressing the truth—The Word Appears in the Flesh, and The Church of Almighty God came into being. Since 2014, some Christians from The Church of Almighty God fled overseas to escape from the brutal persecution of the CCP. They finally have the freedom of belief. In order to spread the truth expressed by Almighty God and testify to the kingdom gospel, they started to produce various artworks such as paintings, movies, musicals, hymns, dances, and music videos. In this episode, we have invited Professor Massimo Introvigne, a well-known Italian scholar of new religious movements, founder and managing director of Center for Studies on New Religions (CESNUR). He is going to talk about the visual artworks produced by The Church of Almighty God in recent years, from the paintings such as “God Making Clothes for Adam and Eve” and “Rainbow Covenant” to musicals such as “Xiaozhen’s Story,” as well as other artworks, Chronicles of Religious Persecution in China, and God Will Restore the Former State of Creation—New Heaven and New Earth. Professor Massimo Introvigne said: “The presence of Almighty God on Earth is not only momentous and decisive: it also creates unprecedented beauty.” Please stay tuned!
Since the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) took power, it has never ceased in persecuting religious beliefs. The CCP has openly designated Christianity and Catholicism as cults, and the Bible as a cult book. Countless copies of it have been confiscated and burned. Since 1995, the CCP has included many house churches, including The Church of Almighty God (CAG), in cult lists and began its open repression and persecution. After Xi Jinping took office, the CCP has intensified its crackdown on Christianity, in particular The Church of Almighty God. It even deploys armed police to carry out maniacal repression and arrests, and also uses all kinds of media to manipulate public opinion and discredit The Church of Almighty God. CAG Christians had to flee overseas to escape the persecution of the CCP and applied for asylum in democracies. However, governments of countries such as South Korea, France, and Italy do not acknowledge the fact that these Christians are persecuted and refuse to grant them asylum. What are the reasons behind it? In the episode, we have invited Ms. Rosita Šorytė as our guest, who is a former Lithuanian diplomat and currently the president of International Observatory of Religious Liberty of Refugees (ORLIR). She will analyze and talk about the reasons why these democratic countries refuse to grant CAG Christians refugee status, such as the fake news manufactured by the CCP, the refugee crisis in Europe, and economic pressure exerted by China. Please stay tuned!

On March 1, 2018, during the 37th session of the Human Rights Council at
the United Nations in Geneva, the Coordination of the Associations and
Individuals for Freedom of Conscience (CAP LC) organized a Side Event on
the denial of religious freedom in China and the case of The Church of Almighty God (CAG). A panel of international scholars and human rights
and freedom of religion experts discussed the dramatic situation of the
members of The Church of Almighty God both in China, where they are
severely persecuted, and in South Korea and Europe, where their requests
for asylum are often denied. During the event, there was a debate
between the western scholars and CCP representatives of the Chinese
delegation…
Each sect within the religious world believes that their way is the true way, so how does one distinguish the true way from false ways? Classic Words on How to Believe in God Expression of the Returned Lord Jesus
He had believed in the Lord since childhood, and in 2002 accepted the
gospel of the kingdom of Almighty God. In 2003, he was arrested because
of preaching the gospel, during which time he was slapped in the face,
punched, kicked, and doused in cold water by police. After that he was
sentenced to a year of re-education through labor. Once his sentence was
completed and he was released, he had no choice but to become a
fugitive in order to avoid being arrested again by the police …
As is well known, the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) seized power through lies and violence, and it relies on lies and violence to maintain its power. The CCP’s rule is nothing but lies, violence, and murder. The CCP propagates atheism, regarding religion as the spiritual opium of the people. Christians preach the gospel and witness for God to carry out God’s will, but the CCP condemns such righteous deeds as abandoning and breaking up their families, and arrests and imprisons Christians on various false charges. In mainland China, Christians from various house churches, particularly from CAG, suffer brutal oppression and persecution for the sake of their religious belief, some of whom were left disabled or died. Many Christians have gone into exile and were rendered homeless with their families scattered. Countless Christianfamilies have been thus broken! In this episode, we have invited Professor Massimo Introvigne, an Italian scholar of new religious movements, founder and managing director of Center for Studies on New Religions, to talk about why the CCP oppresses and persecutes The Church of Almighty God, whether the CCP’s accusations against The Church of Almighty God are true, and who is the main culprit behind the breakdown of Christian families, and so on. The truth will be uncovered, and the CCP’s cruel and evil essence against God that wins fame through deceiving the public and fights against justice will be exposed. Please stay tuned!
