[Disturbed]

All members of the wmscog are taught not to pray in the name of Jesus. To outsiders it seems strange. Why wouldn’t we pray in the name of Jesus, especially when the wmscog acknowledges John 16:24 “Until now you have not asked for anything in my name. Ask and you will receive, and your joy will be complete.”

Anyhow, on the suggestion of another former member I am trying it get back into reading the bible. It’s been very difficult to read without thinking of all the bible studies I learned & taught while being a member. I came across some verses that gave me a lot to think about.

John 5: 21-24 “For just as the Father raises the dead and gives them life, even so the Son gives life to whom he is pleased to give it. Moreover, the Father judges no one, but has entrusted all judgment to the Son, that all may honor the Son just as they honor the Father. He who does not honor the Son does not honor the Father, who sent him. I tell you the truth, whoever hears my word and believes him who sent me has eternal life and will not be condemned; he has crossed over from death to life.”

First off…the wmscog doesn’t honor the son, Jesus. So according to the testimony of Jesus they do not honor God, the Father. Clear evidence that they are leading the members to destruction! I praised Jesus before going to that place and I have restarted praising Jesus since I left.

Verse 24 confirmed to me I made the right choice to leave that group. The wmscog teaches that it is ONLY through the Passover can a person receive eternal life. I was terrified when I left. Where else could I go to keep Passover? I was thinking I needed to convert to Judaism in order to keep Passover, despite the fact that the wmscog teaches that Jewish people keep the Old Covenant & therefore can’t be saved. In the end it doesn’t matter according to the words of Jesus. He said WHOEVER HEARS MY WORDS & BELIEVES has eternal life. Jesus gives life to whom He is pleased to give it. Doesn’t seem like there are any conditions set forth to receive life from Jesus.

My additional thoughts about the Passover according to the wmscog…they say the reality of the Passover is Zhang Gil Jah. We have all rehashed our thoughts about her! The Old Testament prophets never testified about her, nor did Jesus or any other prophet testify about her. Jesus is the same yesterday and today and forever (Hebrews 13:8). He told us to believe in Him. He never said anyone was coming after Him. He told us to believe in Him & the One who sent Him. He (Jesus) told us to pray in His name.

Thank you, Jesus, for standing by me even though I left you to worship two false gods! I will continue to tell others about Jesus to atone for leading my loving brothers & sisters to worship false gods with me.
