The McDonald’s Murder Remembered at the World Congress of Sociology

In 2014, China launched a massive international fake news campaign to attribute to The Church of Almighty God a homicide actually perpetrated by a different religious movement.

At the XIX World Congress of Sociology, the largest gathering of sociologists in the world, organized by the International Sociological Association in Toronto, Canada, a session was devoted on July 20, 2018, to “gatekeeping,” a process aimed at filtering the news so that only a part of them actually reaches the intended audience. Gatekeeping is practiced daily by mainline media, which decide what stories should actually be published and what should be killed, but in totalitarian regimes news filters are also created by official censorship and propaganda.

The Italian sociologist Massimo Introvigne, editor-in-chief of Bitter Winter, presented a paper on the McDonald’s murder of 2014, when members of a group labeled as a “cult” killed a woman in a McDonald’s diner in Zhaoyuan, Shandong. A massive campaign of fake news was launched by the Chinese regime after the incident, claiming that The Church of Almighty God, a Christian new religious movement, was responsible for the homicide. The campaign was extremely successful and continued for years. By 2017, 20,000 media had reported that The Church of Almighty God had perpetrated the crime.

Signs of the End Times | Short Film "The Days of Noah Have Come"

Let's look back on mankind during the age of Noah. Man was engaged in all kinds of evil activities paying no thought to repentance. Nobody listened to the word of God. Their rigidity and evil aroused God's anger and in the end, they were swallowed up by the disaster of the great flood. Only Noah and his family of eight listened to God's word and were able to survive. Now, the last days have already arrived. Mankind's corruption is getting deeper and deeper. Everyone reveres evil. The entire religious world follows the tide of the world. They do not love the truth one bit. The days of Noah have already arrived! In order to save mankind, God has returned once more to do the judgment work of the last days amongst mankind. This is the last time that God saves man! What should mankind choose?

This is a true story. Since the citizens of Qingping County in the province of Sichuan have repeatedly refused to accept Almighty God's kingdom gospel, they have met with two instances of disaster. During the Great Sichuan Earthquake, many brothers and sisters who believed in Almighty God were miraculously protected by God and survived. These facts have been witnessed: those that accept and obey God and those that deny and resist God. These two kinds of people have two very different endings!

I Finally Understand How Jesus Will Come in the Last Days

By Mu Guang, South Korea

I thank God for showing me kindness, for allowing me to hear His voice, for allowing me to understand how the Lord will return and the truth of the incarnation, and for allowing me to welcome the Lord’s return and be raised up before the throne of God.

——Epigraph

I was a preacher in a house church who had always looked forward to the Lord Jesus’ return. One day, I heard the brothers and sisters in my church say that Eastern Lightning was testifying that the Lord Jesus had returned already, that Jesus had become flesh and that He was expressing the truth and performing the work of judgment in the last days. I thought this was incredible: “The Lord has returned? How could that be? The Lord’s return should be that He comes on a cloud and appears openly to us in the form of His Spirit after the resurrection. We haven’t seen anything like this occur, so how can they say that the Lord has returned already?” I therefore chose not to seek the way of Eastern Lightning.

Gospel Movie Clip "Blessed Are the Poor in Spirit" 

In the Age of Grace, the Lord Jesus did the work of redemption that absolved us of all our sins. As long as we accept the Lord Jesus as our Savior and pray and confess our sins to the Lord, then our sins will be absolved and we will be saved through our faith. So what exactly does "being saved" here mean? Can we be raptured and enter the kingdom of heaven by believing in the Lord, coming under His grace and being saved?

Cho Yeonghan was a pastor of a church in Korea. He was zealous in serving the Lord for decades and earned great respect from the believers. In recent years, the church became desolate day by day. More and more evils emerged, and even he himself was often afflicted by sin. Thus, he felt extremely miserable and confused…. After much consideration, he gave up his post as a pastor and left his denomination to seek the true way that could free him from sin. He visited several other denominations, but their desolation and degeneration brought him into severer loss and helplessness. Earnestly, he prayed, “O Lord! Where are you? …” Out of surprise, when investigating the word of Almighty God, he found that the Lord Jesus has come back and He is Almighty God, the last Christ.

Gospel Church Song | "No Power Can Stand in the Way of What God Wishes to Achieve"

God has now come to the world again to do His work.

The first stop of His work is the grand assemblage of dictators:

China—the powerful stronghold, the stronghold of godlessness.

By His wisdom and His power God has gained a group of men.
