  • Why hasn't your brother come out yet?

  • Hey!

  • Xiaorui! Mom!

  • I missed you, Xiaoyi!

  • I missed you too. (Hi!)

  • Mom.

  • Did you wait long?

  • A little. Are you tired?

  • I'm fine.

  • Mom, how have you been?

  • Fine! I'm very well.

  • How's Dad?

  • He's busy.

  • Your dad said he was coming to pick you up today,

  • but he had to go to the office early this morning.

  • Your dad is so busy nowadays!

  • He sure is.

  • Hey, our cousins are at the house, too. They're waiting for you.

  • Really? …

  • Xiaoyi hasn't been home in years, right? (Four years.)

  • Four! Wow.

  • When his mom heard he was coming, she couldn't wait to see him.

  • Ah, she must be so happy.

  • You two, quit watching TV and come help me! (Coming.)

  • Xiaoyi's almost here, and you're playing games.

  • You guys are such kids.

  • Hey, Xiaotao. (Yeah?)

  • Our cousin said Xiaoyi isn't going back to work in America this time.

  • That's a shame. He works for such a famous company.

  • We're back!

  • Hey!

  • There you are! (Tao!)

  • Xiaoyi's back!

  • Wow, you got so muscular.

  • Xiaoyi! You look awesome. Mom, come here! (Auntie!)

  • You're home!

  • I missed you so much! It's been four years!

  • I missed you as well. (I missed you in my dreams!)

  • She did. (Son!)

  • Dad! Good to see you.

  • Long trip?

  • It was fine. (Your uncle.)

  • Uncle, how've you been? (Come on guys,)

  • let's come on in the kitchen. (Can we eat yet?)

  • Can I try this? (This looks delicious.)

  • Wow. Smells great. (That's the free range chicken Auntie bought from the country.)

  • Oh yeah. (Thank you!)

  • Come on everyone, eat up. (It's good. You like it.)

  • It's very good.

  • Today,

  • Yi's come back, after so long.

  • We haven't been together like this in years. (Yeah.)

  • So we really have to celebrate now! (Oh, we really do.)

  • Let me say something.

  • Hey, journalist here.

  • It's such a happy day for our family.

  • We're all gathered here to wish my brother a successful career.

  • All right!

  • Hey, hey, I'm not done yet! (Okay.)

  • I hope our family stays together and forever!

  • Sounds good. (I wanna say something!)

  • Yi. I wish you the most amazing career.

  • Here! Let's toast to you!

  • Cheers. Well done.

  • Now that you're back, sky's the limit.

  • I can't wait to share your success.

  • He'll take good care of you. (Don't worry.)

  • That's right.

  • Xiaoyi. Is it true you're not going back to work in the United States?

  • Yup. I already left my job.

  • Before I came back, I applied at a design institute here.

  • I'm here for good.

  • Wow you kids, Yi and Rui,

  • an architect and a newspaper reporter.

  • They're so outstanding and ambitious!

  • You know you'll be happy in the future.

  • You two should learn from your cousins.

  • What? Come on, Mom. Don't be like that.

  • All right all right. Arrange it how I said.

  • We can talk tomorrow.

  • Less talking, more eating!

  • Dad. You look exhausted. Is it work?

  • Well, it's tiring.

  • I don't do much as minister at the United Front,

  • but there's a lot of pressure on us.

  • The biggest headache for the government now

  • is this worldwide trend toward democracy.

  • Communism has less power nowadays,

  • and countries with one party rule have become more isolated.

  • I believe the Communist Party is facing a crisis.

  • People nowadays are less interested in Marxism, Leninism, and communism.

  • More people believe in God.

  • The government's biggest pain is the Eastern Lightning.

  • Central leadership is stressed out over the rise of The Church of Almighty God.

  • These years,

  • The government has been doing its best to suppress and ban Eastern Lightning,

  • The Church of Almighty God.

  • They didn't expect The Church of Almighty God to prosper.

  • This is the biggest headache for central leadership.

  • Come. We can talk over there.

  • You can't trust the news.

  • I forgot who said it.

  • Everything you read in the papers is fake.

  • Except—(Except for the date!)

  • That's it. So what were you talking about?

  • Religion stuff.

  • Religion?

  • Yeah.

  • While I was abroad these past few years,

  • I noticed every democratic country has freedom of religion.

  • Only communist countries don't have that freedom.

  • They say eighty percent of the population is religious.

  • Most people recognize the existence of God.

  • Only a minority don't.

  • So I wonder.

  • Why do democratic countries have better social order?

  • Their governments interact freely with people.

  • Officials don't need all those bodyguards.

  • Now I understand.

  • Crime rates are lower in religious countries.

  • Why so much chaos in China?

  • Why is our crime rate so high? (How come?)

  • It's because of its lack of religious belief.

  • Mom, I got it. (Great.)

  • People feel empty, without religion in their hearts.

  • It's because they lack direction and purpose in their life.

  • They have no bottom line to aim for.

  • Their belief is simply,

  • "Every man for himself." "Man will do anything to get rich."

  • When Chinese people look for money, live for money,

  • how can they not be selfish?

  • So then, the non-religious are more likely to do evil.

  • Those who are devoid of any conscience are people without true faith.

  • Just as the Bible says,

  • Why is Chinese society so dark and chaotic?

  • Yeah, why is it like that?

  • This is directly related to the atheist ruling party.

  • That's right.

  • After years of indoctrination by the party,

  • atheism and evolutionism have become ingrained in our society,

  • causing them to deny and resist God.

  • Can such a country and people not be cursed by God?

  • China is plagued by disasters and pain, falling into worse turmoil.

  • I think the reign of the Communist Party is the reign of Satan.

  • Their teaching is the teaching of Satan.

  • Satan's corrupting mankind.

  • I hope I'm not out of turn.

  • No, Xiaoyi's making a lot of sense.

  • Having religious belief makes a big difference.

  • After studying abroad, he's learned a lot.

  • He's made his mark.

  • Weiguo, Xinping, Yi and Rui all believe in the Lord.

  • It's a good thing.

  • You don't have to worry about them going astray.

  • Aunt, why don't you let Tao and Li believe with us? (Oh yeah!)

  • We can go to church later!

  • It's so nice when you're together. (Xiaoyi.)

  • You've learned a lot of things these past few years.

  • I was right to send you away.

  • These days, all top officials go overseas and send their kids to study abroad.

  • Many countries in the world look to learn from western countries.

  • China is backwards.

  • Young people should venture out

  • and see the rest of the world.

  • You have to gain more experience.

  • You're absolutely right.

  • What Yi just said is really insightful.

  • It's hard for a young person to understand these things.

  • But don't talk about this outside the family,

  • or you can get convicted.

  • Here in China, you need to watch what you say.

  • Even though, the constitution says freedom of belief,

  • many have been arrested, convicted, and slaughtered for speaking the truth.

  • You need to take this seriously, or you'll be in danger. (Yeah.)

  • Son, Dad is right.

  • Now that you're back, it's not like it is over there.

  • You need to watch what you say and do.

  • Or you could bring trouble to yourself. 'Kay?

  • Mom, I know.

  • Eat up.

  • Can you pass the noodles? (Yeah, quit talking and eat more!)

  • Have you tried this one? (This is so good.)

  • Rui, let's head back.

  • Yi,

  • you've learned a lot these past few years abroad.

  • Especially on the subject of faith.

  • In my reporting job,

  • I've noticed that it's really becoming a social crisis.

  • People feel empty due to their lack of religious belief.

  • They focus on making money and sinful pleasures.

  • People are becoming more evil, not on the right path.

  • Yeah.

  • I think, it's related to the atheist administration of the country.

  • I understand these things from believing in the Lord all these years.

  • Thank God. (Yi,)

  • what you said last night made me really happy.

  • You see things more clearly than I do.

  • The path of faith in the Lord is the right one. (Right.)

  • Rui, do you want to know the reason for how much I've learned?

  • What?

  • When I was abroad, I started believing in Almighty God.

  • What? In Almighty God?

  • Almighty God expressed the truth for man's salvation

  • and unfolded the mysteries of the Bible.

  • These years, I've read and understood many words of Almighty God.

  • So I'm able to see things more clearly.

  • Our perception depends on whether we understand the truth.

  • If you read the words of Almighty God and fellowship about it,

  • you gain more insight and discernment.

  • It lets you see clearly.

  • Ah. So you started believing in Almighty God.

  • No wonder you made such progress.

  • Well, I've only heard of Eastern Lightning.

  • When I saw the CCP attacking Eastern Lightning,

  • I left it alone.

  • If I knew you believed in Almighty God,

  • I might've looked into it sooner.

  • Hey Yi, how'd you start believing in Almighty God?

  • Eastern Lightning, what's it all about?

  • Uh, it started three years ago.

  • I saw the CCP suppress and persecute the Eastern Lightning,

  • using the media to warp the public, framing and convicting them.

  • They arrested Christians.

  • I just thought for the CCP to suppress and persecute Eastern Lightning,

  • it had to be something big, some major event.

  • Event?

  • Eastern Lightning caused a stir.

  • So many good sheep from the factions had accepted Eastern Lightning.

  • The Holy Spirit had to speak within The Church of Almighty God.

  • It was the appearance and work of the Son of man to wield such power.

  • Otherwise,

  • there wouldn't be so many good sheep from all the factions accepting Eastern Lightning.

  • So, I started to study Eastern Lightning online.

  • In a few days, I read many words expressed by Almighty God.

  • It truly was an eye-opener for me.

  • Really?

  • In the word of Almighty God,

  • I found the truths I hadn't understood ever since I started believing in God.

  • The word of Almighty God is so rich and practical,

  • is all the truth.

  • I watched movies made by The Church of Almighty God.

  • It was a really profound gain. (Was it?)

  • Those films told the truth, and were so enlightening

  • that they solved the difficulties in my life.

  • Lucky I saw them.

  • I saw the word of Almighty God is the truth and voice of God.

  • I kept reading Almighty God's words.

  • The more I read, the more interested I became.

  • Every word of Almighty God touched my heart.

  • I was so convinced.

  • It's wonderful.

  • I was certain that the Lord Jesus had returned and worked as Almighty God.

  • Rui,

  • if you learn the work of Almighty God, you should read His word

  • and watch the films of The Church of Almighty God,

  • and you'll understand everything. (Okay.)

  • If you're able to understand,

  • the words of Almighty God will convince you.

  • Is that true?

  • Ah! I regret not studying Eastern Lightning.

  • I'll go study it right now!

  • Great! (Hey,)

  • you said Almighty God's word is God's voice and appearance and His work.

  • Tell me about it in detail.

  • Well, at the time, here's how it happened.

  • Hey, do you think tomorrow we can spread the gospel to Mom and Dad?

  • That could work.

  • What's on your mind?

  • Our son, after studying abroad for four years,

  • why does he talk differently from us?

  • He's a new person.

  • What has he been doing while over there?

  • Was he worshiping the Lord in church?

  • He seems to now understand a lot of things.

  • What if he believes in Eastern Lightning?

  • Eastern Lightning?

  • Surely not.

  • Look what I found.

  • What is it?

  • The Word Appears in the Flesh?

  • Where'd you get this from?

  • I found it in Yi's room.

  • Huh? They believe in Almighty God?

  • Don't you see it? It's obvious.

  • No wonder they've been so secretive these past few days.

  • Just don't get mad. That won't solve anything.

  • We're back!

  • We got some snacks and drinks.

  • Make sure we got everything.

  • Ah! Tomorrow we …

  • What's up?

  • You tell me. What's going on?

  • Dad, don't be mad.

  • The truth is, I started believing in Almighty God.

  • What?

  • Once I got back,

  • I shared Almighty God's word with Rui.

  • You really believe in Almighty God?

  • Yes.

  • Dad, Mom. We were just about to tell you.

  • This is really good news.

  • The Lord Jesus has returned.

  • It's the appearance of Almighty God.

  • You too should study the true way. (Yeah.)

  • Rui and Yi,

  • you still don't understand the state's stance.

  • If you know parts of the constitution,

  • do you understand the Communist Party?

  • I've worked at the United Front for so long.

  • I've seen it clearly.

  • The CCP hates the appearance of God and His work.

  • The government condemns Christianity as a cult,

  • and the Bible as a cultist book, burning copies.

  • The CCP is determined to ban all home churches.

  • I opposed when you believed in Jesus.

  • Now to believe in Almighty God? I won't allow it.

  • Do you know what Almighty God is about?

  • They witness that Almighty God is the Lord Jesus appearing to work,

  • the appearance of Christ the Savior in the last days,

  • and The Word Appears in the Flesh has more than a million of His words.

  • Imagine the consequence if it gets out.

  • The CCP and Christ the Savior are mortal enemies.

  • The CCP would stop at nothing.

  • Didn't you know?

  • They designate those who believe in Eastern Lightning as most wanted criminals.

  • Punished without mercy.

  • You can't even bribe to help them.

  • This is serious.

  • Do you understand?

  • To be honest,

  • to get rid of The Church of Almighty God these past years,

  • the government's released secret documents,

  • and repeatedly suppressed and cracked down on Eastern Lightning.

  • We hold meetings all the time on how to suppress the Eastern Lightning.

  • As for that church, central leadership has made themselves clear.

  • "Troops won't be withdrawn till the ban is done."

  • So then, no way you can believe in Almighty God.

  • Do you hear me?

  • Dad.

  • You know that Eastern Lightning witnesses Lord Jesus' return

  • and God's appearance and work in the last days

  • to preach the truth expressed by the Savior for the salvation of mankind,

  • then you must know

  • how awful it is for them to suppress, arrest, and convict Eastern Lightning like that.

  • It's a sin to resist God and act perversely against Heaven.

  • With study I learned that Eastern Lightning fulfilled the prophecy of Lord Jesus.

  • Eastern Lightning witnesses the appearance and work of the Son of man.

  • That's true though.

  • Dad. Mom.

  • You haven't read the words of Almighty God,

  • so you don't know what Eastern Lightning's about.

  • To understand Eastern Lightning, you must read the words of Almighty God

  • to see if it's the truth,

  • and the utterance of God's Spirit speaking to mankind,

  • God's appearance and work in the last days.

  • It's so important to study this.

  • Dad.

  • The CCP has launched an overwhelming war against Eastern Lightning.

  • Eastern Lightning is Christ's Church in the last days.

  • It's not a country, and it's not a race.

  • Is this war against Eastern Lightning really necessary for the CCP?

  • They even said they won't back down till the ban is done.

  • Their hostility to God is going to be cursed and punished by God.

  • Dad, I think he's right.

  • Recalling God's work in history,

  • every person, race, or nation who resisted God was cursed and destroyed by God.

  • In ancient times,

  • the Pharaoh of Egypt was killed for resisting God.

  • After the Lord Jesus worked,

  • the Roman Empire was destroyed by God's great plague

  • for persecuting Him and His people.

  • The CCP will be destroyed for resisting Christ in the last days.

  • Dad. You've studied religion.

  • You must know these things.

  • How do you feel about their resistance of Almighty God?

  • We've seen from early on:

  • Eastern Lightning is no ordinary religion.

  • They witnessed the Lord Jesus' return,

  • Christ the Savior in the last days arrived to the world in person to save mankind.

  • If the government lets The Church of Almighty God continue to preach the gospel,

  • countless people will accept Almighty God over years.

  • The CCP is an atheist party

  • and despises theism.

  • The war between the CCP and believers in God

  • is a war of ideologies.

  • It's more of a mortal struggle.

  • How can they allow God's appearance and work?

  • How can they allow the church to exist?

  • So then, the CCP began to suppress and ban all religious beliefs,

  • eliminating and banning all religions within China to make an atheist place.

  • That's the only way the CCP can keep its rule in China.

  • Therefore, since it took power, the CCP has always banned religion.

  • Also, during this time, Christians have been imprisoned.

  • Christian families have been shattered.

  • Some Christians have even died in prison.

  • We know this is true.

  • So why do more people believe in God?

  • The main reason is the book, The Word Appears in the Flesh,

  • is spreading so fast.

  • Many people accept Almighty God

  • after they have read The Word Appears in the Flesh.

  • This book contains so much power!

  • It's expanding, spreading all over the world.

  • It's a real headache for central leadership.

  • The leaders won't sleep well until The Church of Almighty God is banned.

  • Listen well. You have to understand this.

  • If they have the audacity to call Christianity and Catholicism cults,

  • why would they be lenient to Eastern Lightning?

  • Recently, they designated Eastern Lightning as a cult,

  • and it became a target for attacks and banning.

  • To believe in Eastern Lightning, you're being contradictory.

  • Are you being smart or stupid?

  • Yi and Rui. Your dad said this so long ago.

  • And now, the CCP is doing its best to ban The Church of Almighty God,

  • mobilizing the media to warp public opinion and condemn The Church of Almighty God.

  • Even some Three-Self churches have been banned and some completely demolished.

  • It seems, the CCP is determined to eradicate religion entirely.

  • He's also said that many believers of The Church of Almighty God have been arrested.

  • The CCP intends to send them, these believers, to their deaths.

  • If you believe in Almighty God, you will be arrested.

  • It would ruin your future.

  • You might even put your very lives in danger.

  • Mom.

  • Listen to me. In this matter, you must listen to your dad.

  • Don't believe in Almighty God. Yes?

  • Mom, don't worry.

  • We'll be careful believing in China.

  • Yeah.

  • Mom. Dad. We know that since the CCP took power,

  • they persecuted religious beliefs

  • by suppressing Christianity, Catholicism, arresting and killing Christians.

  • For so many years,

  • the suppression of religious beliefs has gotten worse.

  • It has incurred God's curses.

  • Look at all the natural disasters that befall China.

  • These disasters happen to Chinese people

  • because of the CCP's resistance to God.

  • Since the CCP took power, China has so many more disasters.

  • So why doesn't the CCP reflect?

  • Ancient emperors expressed remorse when disasters happened.

  • The CCP is behind the ancient emperors.

  • They don't consider the will of Heaven and people.

  • They even brazenly condemn Christianity and Catholicism,

  • calling them cults.

  • Even worse is they say the Holy Bible is a cultist book.

  • Why does the CCP treat God, the word of God,

  • and the work of God as evil?

  • This just proves that the CCP is evil.

  • She's right.

  • Dad, Mom,

  • I have heard that

  • the founder of the Communist Party was the satanist Karl Marx.

  • Satanism is the worst cult.

  • Why is the CCP so evil?

  • This is directly related to the communists' worship of Marx.

  • The CCP is made of atheist demons who are hostile to God.

  • What's their basis for convicting religions?

  • Why would they say the Bible is a cultist book?

  • What's their basis for condemning Eastern Lightning as a cult?

  • Was it based on Marxist-Leninist atheism and the Communist Manifesto?

  • Why does the CCP frantically condemn God's work in the last days?

  • Why would they do this

  • search and arrest operation against Christ in the last days and His followers?

  • Why do they mobilize the media to defame Almighty God's appearance and work?

  • It's dangerous.

  • They're digging their own grave, resisting God.

  • The Bible has a similar story.

  • When King Herod learned of the birth of the King of Israel,

  • he ordered the slaughter of all baby boys in the town.

  • He tried to prevent Christ's rule on earth.

  • The CCP suppresses and bans The Church of Almighty God,

  • hunts down the Christ, exterminates His followers,

  • because they are afraid of Christ taking power on earth,

  • afraid of mankind accepting the truth of Almighty God.

  • Dad. Doesn't the Communist Party know that Christ's appearance is the work of God's Spirit,

  • the advent of the Creator to save humanity?

  • That's right.

  • Does the CCP know what it's up against here?

  • Are the disasters not enough?

  • They're endangering the people by resisting God this way.

  • Xiaoyi.

  • Why does the CCP say Christianity's a cult?

  • Why do they say the Bible is a cultist book?

  • You should know the answer.

  • The Bible preaches about God's appearance and work.

  • For centuries,

  • the influences of the Bible have caused more people to believe in God.

  • As long as there is Christianity and the Bible,

  • Marxist-Leninist atheism and evolution cannot stand.

  • That's why they see Christianity as a hostile force.

  • They naturally designate the Bible as a cultist book.

  • The testimony of Eastern Lightning that the Lord Jesus has returned

  • terrifies the CCP.

  • The CCP and Christ the Savior are enemies.

  • They do their best to suppress religious beliefs and ban churches.

  • The Central Committee's meetings and secret documents

  • prove the rapid development of religious beliefs has brought a crisis to the Communist Party.

  • The Central Committee has said

  • CCP members and state officials are forbidden to believe in God.

  • Don't forget the education of the CCP.

  • CCP members' kids must believe in Mao Zedong's Thought.

  • They can't believe in God.

  • Believing in God is betraying the CCP.

  • CCP members' children must obey the Party, follow them, and belong to the CCP!

  • Don't you know this?

  • Since the witnessing of The Word Appears in the Flesh

  • expressed by Almighty God,

  • the CCP's on full alert,

  • fearing The Word Appears in the Flesh will spread all over the world.

  • So with Eastern Lightning,

  • the government tries to suppress them,

  • trying to completely ban The Church of Almighty God.

  • No matter how you put it, the CCP is now in power.

  • As long as the Communist Party exists, you can't believe in God.

  • Actually, I don't agree with their persecution of religion,

  • but what can I do?

  • I'm a member of the party.

  • My job is with the CCP. I have to obey them.

  • If I didn't work for the CCP, how would I support our family?

  • All these things we enjoy come from the CCP, don't they?

  • You can't just forget that.

  • Right.

  • But from what you've told me,

  • it seems, you understand every choice the CCP makes.

  • Do you believe in retribution?

  • If you harm believers of God like the CCP,

  • it's a sin that will beget retributions.

  • Dad, the CCP is atheist,

  • they're a satanic regime against God.

  • They've never acknowledged God.

  • What qualifications do they have to decide which church is the true way or not?

  • Yeah, Dad.

  • All things in heaven and earth were created by God.

  • God is the Creator.

  • Only the Creator of the universe has supreme authority.

  • Only God is the truth.

  • His appearance and work is the true way.

  • Almighty God is the incarnation of God,

  • the appearance of Christ the Savior in the last days

  • who utters truth for the judgment and salvation of mankind.

  • Yeah, Mom.

  • Not only does the CCP refuse to accept the work of Almighty God,

  • they resist and condemn Almighty God.

  • Isn't this perverse and reactionary?

  • The CCP committed countless sins.

  • It's a satanic regime that hates truth and resists God.

  • What's a cult anyway?

  • A cult should be any group or party that resists against God.

  • A cult is an organization of evil spirits and demons that delude and corrupt mankind.

  • Any party or organization that advocates materialism, evolutionism,

  • or goes against the truth expressed by God is a cult.

  • Dad, you should understand what a cult really is.

  • The CCP's ideologies are cult fallacies.

  • Everything the CCP does is resistant and reactionary against God.

  • The CCP is the real evil party and cult.

  • Dad. Mom.

  • Almighty God has come to the world in the last days

  • to express the truth for the salvation of mankind.

  • It's like a light in the sky that illuminates a dark world

  • to let man see that righteousness has descended on earth.

  • Why has the CCP been resisting the appearance and work of Almighty God, Christ in the last days?

  • Why have they tried to ban Christ and The Church of Almighty God?

  • It's a perversity against Heaven and a reactionary act.

  • Why is it that the more positive something is,

  • the more truth it possesses, the more the CCP will condemn it,

  • not stopping until it's banned?

  • The CCP is terrifying.

  • Aren't they genuinely an evil party, a cult?

  • Dad. Mom.

  • The Church of Almighty God follows Christ and witnesses His appearance and work,

  • preaching truths expressed by Almighty God.

  • Their actions are justified.

  • The CCP resists God like crazy,

  • brutally arresting those who witness for Christ.

  • Of course they'd be cursed by God.

  • How can it not bring peril to the Chinese people?

  • All these disasters in China are because the CCP resisted God.

  • Dad. Mom. Can't you accept what we're trying to say?

  • I admit, since the party's been in power, it's done lots of bad things.

  • People no longer think of the Communist Party as a savior.

  • Nor as the sun, or as one's parents.

  • That's very clear to me.

  • Regardless, they still hold the power in China.

  • It's a revolutionary party, capable of doing anything it wants.

  • To believe in Almighty God is to be arrested at any time

  • or risk losing your life.

  • So I won't allow belief in Almighty God.

  • It is for your own sake.

  • "A wise man submits to circumstance."

  • You can't push these boundaries.

  • Do you understand what I'm saying?

  • Today I've made it clear to you two.

  • Communist education only teaches Marxism and Maoism.

  • Belief in God is forbidden!

  • Party members' children must listen to the party and go along with them.

  • They can never accept, or follow, or witness for Christ.

  • Children of party members must believe in the Communist Party for generations.

  • Okay, okay.

  • Weiguo, we're having a picnic tomorrow.

  • Come, let's load the car.

  • Come on, now. There's a lot to pack up.

  • Go, okay? Go go go.

  • Yi and Rui,

  • your dad says this to protect you both.

  • You should listen to him.

  • The Communist Party is capable of terrible things.

  • If you're arrested for joining Eastern Lightning,

  • your dad can't help you.

  • Understand?

  • Xiaoyi! Want to play some chess?

  • Sure.

  • Dad, I haven't played chess forever.

  • It's so nice out today.

  • I've been wanting to do this for the longest time.

  • Mom, you should've said so sooner. (Yeah.)

  • You're so busy all the time.

  • I barely even see you on weekends, either.

  • You're busier than me.

  • You're out all the time.

  • What are you doing every weekend?

  • Ah. Are you going to church?

  • It's for your own good that I don't let you believe in Almighty God.

  • I often say

  • the only beliefs allowed under communism are from Marx, Lenin, and Mao Zedong.

  • God is out of the question.

  • The CCP suppresses The Church of Almighty God,

  • but you think these are all trumped-up charges.

  • Let me ask you,

  • explain the May 28 Zhaoyuan case in Shandong.

  • That case was in open court after all.

  • After the Zhaoyuan case,

  • the government cracked down more on house churches,

  • and used armed police to crack down on The Church of Almighty God,

  • conducting an overwhelming search-and-arrest of The Church of Almighty God members.

  • Even though people have raised doubts about the case in Shandong,

  • believing it was false,

  • fabricated to make the public support its crackdown on The Church of Almighty God,

  • the Chinese media reported the case whether the facts were true or not.

  • It impacted other countries around the world.

  • No matter how you deny the Zhaoyuan case,

  • many still trust the Communist Party.

  • So then, regarding the case of what happened in Shandong,

  • what do you think?

  • Dad. How long can the CCP fool the world with this case it concocted itself?

  • Can it save them from their impending demise?

  • The Zhaoyuan case had a considerable impact all over the world.

  • It deceived ignorant people.

  • But do clouds block the sun forever?

  • Can a crow darken the sky forever?

  • Deceptions are not forever.

  • Lies are always lies.

  • They will never become the truth.

  • The CCP has grown increasingly evil, notorious, and corrupt for their deceit and fraud.

  • They're infamous. Not just here, but everywhere.

  • Can fraud and deceit save the CCP?

  • More and more people see the real essence of the CCP.

  • No one believes them anymore.

  • The CCP is a notorious atheist party and satanic evil group,

  • most resistant to God in the world.

  • The CCP's courts are Satan's courts.

  • Can there be any fairness adjudicated by these courts?

  • The CCP is a dictatorship and tyranny.

  • There's no independent judiciary.

  • Judges have no autonomy.

  • They all take orders from the government,

  • handling cases how they're told. That's a fact.

  • Cases tried by their courts

  • are bound to be a distortion of the facts and all absurd.

  • During these political struggles for so many years,

  • the CCP has relied on framing.

  • They're adept at this.

  • When the Zhaoyuan case of Shandong was tried in court,

  • the defendants clearly said in the middle of CCP court,

  • "I never had contact with The Church of Almighty God."

  • "The state cracks down on the Almighty God that Zhao Weishan believes in,

  • not our Almighty God."

  • They never said they belonged to The Church of Almighty God,

  • and the Church did not know who they were.

  • Why didn't the CCP judge go by the facts?

  • In the absence of any real evidence,

  • why did he insist they were members of The Church of Almighty God?

  • Isn't this plot a frame-up?

  • Isn't this all deception?

  • No one believes the reports of the CCP or their media's lies anymore.

  • Yeah.

  • Dad. You've worked in the Communist system for many years.

  • You should see better than I do.

  • Do you really think the Zhaoyuan case will help the CCP stay in power?

  • Dad. Having been a reporter for a few years now, I understand.

  • Every time before they suppress religion,

  • democratic rights movements, protests or things like that,

  • the CCP makes a false case and tries to sway public opinions wrongly,

  • followed by a crackdown.

  • Look at the June Fourth student movement.

  • At first they wanted integrity, democracy, and freedom.

  • However, the CCP had people infiltrate disguised as students,

  • who ruined the movement, smashing, burning, flipping vehicles, making chaos.

  • They branded the student movement as counter revolutionary, intent on starting riots,

  • as an excuse to suppress the students.

  • A bloody crackdown on the students happened after that.

  • A few thousand students were shot and killed, run over by tanks.

  • That's how the CCP staged the Tian'anmen Incident

  • that chilled the Chinese people and shocked the whole world.

  • That's also how they suppressed the mass protests in Tibet.

  • The government inserted people into the protesting crowd,

  • purposely committing crimes like killing and looting.

  • The army massacred the protesters under the guise of quelling insurrection.

  • These facts prove that the CCP uses suppression,

  • making up facts and lies, followed by violence

  • to eradicate anybody who disagrees with them.

  • The Zhaoyuan case in Shandong

  • swayed the public to allow the CCP to suppress The Church of Almighty God.

  • It's a major crime of religious persecution.

  • Dad, you're an official with the CCP.

  • You should know better than us about how they really work.

  • I've lived with the communist for so long,

  • I have no misconceptions about what the CCP is.

  • Despite the way, officials try to look grandiose,

  • behind those curtains,

  • there's nothing but bad deeds and business deals.

  • Zhaoyuan case aside,

  • none of these cases tried by those courts have any fairness.

  • Every case is fueled by bribery.

  • There's political motivation behind every case involving religion or ethnic minorities.

  • Now that all the bad deeds of the CCP have been exposed by more and more people,

  • I think the truth behind the Zhaoyuan case won't be hidden long.

  • I didn't expect you all to know so much about the CCP's true intentions.

  • You guys have really grown up.

  • But you're still young.

  • What happened after the incident at Tian'anmen caused by students?

  • Weren't they all quelled?

  • Some of them were killed, wounded, or thrown in prison.

  • Others fled overseas.

  • Who fought the CCP?

  • Even if the Zhaoyuan case was a falsehood,

  • what does it matter?

  • The CCP has created too many false narratives,

  • many of which are known by the people.

  • But who can fix the problem?

  • Who can do anything about the CCP?

  • Do you even know what the CCP believes in?

  • What is it?

  • They are revolutionary.

  • What they believe in is violence and lies,

  • and seizing power with violence.

  • They think a lie will become truth if repeated ten thousand times.

  • No matter how many people disbelieve its words,

  • deny them, and disbelieve them,

  • the CCP doesn't care, they'll keep lying all the time.

  • As long as the immediate effects can be achieved,

  • they don't care.

  • When people rebel against them and march in protest,

  • they'll use tanks and machine guns to solve it all.

  • If they need, they'll use atomic bombs and missiles to get what they need.

  • The CCP will resort to anything to maintain power.

  • Soon as that case was announced,

  • they deployed so many armed police units

  • to arrest and suppress Christians at any cost.

  • Who could stop them? Who dared to resist them?

  • When foreigners could see through the CCP's fraud,

  • what could they do?

  • The CCP has ways to counter Western democratic forces.

  • It uses money to fix everything.

  • He who receives a gift sells his liberty.

  • Fewer countries condemn the CCP nowadays.

  • Forces are even afraid to be hostile to them now.

  • No matter what,

  • the CCP is still able to uphold its power.

  • As long as they hold on to power,

  • you believers in God will never be free.

  • God's appearance and work in China will be detested and banned by the CCP.

  • Even if they don't achieve their goal of creating an atheistic domain,

  • it will never stop arresting or suppressing you.

  • I know. I saw it long ago.

  • That's why I oppose you believing in Almighty God.

  • This is all for your protection, don't you understand?

  • Xiaorui! Come here. ('Kay!)

  • Dad, have you really seen through the CCP?

  • The CCP is so evil,

  • yet it thrives, no one dares block it.

  • So does that mean it could permanently maintain its rule?

  • When the Lord Jesus appeared to work,

  • the Roman regime tried to resist and condemn Him.

  • Such a powerful government,

  • but weren't they destroyed by God's plague?

  • No matter what kind of forces are out there,

  • if they resist God and act against God,

  • they will be destroyed by God.

  • We can't advocate status and power,

  • let alone evil power,

  • as God rules everything.

  • Whoever resists God will perish.

  • Dad.

  • Even though we know the CCP is bad,

  • we can't necessarily see its devilish nature.

  • Why does the CCP resist and condemn God and harm God's chosen people?

  • The Lord Jesus said in the Bible,

  • The Bible also says,

  • Why does the CCP resist and condemn The Church of Almighty God?

  • It's because the CCP fears the Chinese people's acceptance and return to Almighty God.

  • They're most afraid of people accepting the work of Almighty God in the last days.

  • They're afraid of all the truths expressed by Almighty God

  • being proclaimed throughout the world

  • and the will of God fulfilled on earth.

  • This proves that the CCP is afraid of the truth and the appearance and work of God,

  • afraid of the true light illuminating mankind in darkness,

  • for the CCP knows that once the word of Almighty God is proclaimed,

  • many will accept the work of Almighty God in the last days.

  • That's why the CCP suppresses all those who follow Almighty God.

  • They act perversely against Heaven.

  • They're the enemy of God, enemy of truth, enemy of justice.

  • Dad, you've been defending them,

  • choosing to resist God and persecute God's chosen people.

  • That's a sin that offends God's disposition.

  • It's destined to be punished!

  • Those who resist and act against God will be destroyed and go to hell.

  • Dad, surely you see this.

  • Oh, Xiaoyi.

  • You clearly see the causes of the CCP's suppression

  • and persecution of The Church of Almighty God.

  • I already knew that their persecution of The Church of Almighty God

  • is because of Christ's appearance in the last days to save mankind.

  • The book, The Word Appears in the Flesh

  • is too influential!

  • If the CCP did not make the decision to ban them,

  • who knows how many Chinese people would have accepted Almighty God.

  • Think of the consequences.

  • Anyone can see how that would be.

  • Although what you said about going to hell for resisting God,

  • I don't believe it.

  • Who has seen where hell is?

  • What does hell look like?

  • I don't know if God exists at all.

  • I'm not sure God exists.

  • Where is God? Who has seen God?

  • If Almighty God is the true God,

  • when the CCP condemns and attacks Almighty God,

  • why didn't God stop it?

  • If God comes down and destroys the Communist Party,

  • then He's the true God.

  • Then mankind must acknowledge that Almighty God is the true God,

  • and even the CCP will have to worship the true God.

  • No one would resist.

  • But what really happened?

  • Police from the CCP arrested believers of God.

  • God's believers were thrown in jail, tortured, and maimed.

  • And many of them were even killed.

  • But did your God save them?

  • How does this convince people that yours is the true God?

  • I don't understand this.

  • Is the God you believe in true or false? I think you don't even know.

  • Aren't you being dumb?

  • What is your basis in saying your God is the true God?

  • Can you explain it?

  • Dad, you have experience.

  • Do you know nothing about God's existence and dominance?

  • Since the creation,

  • God's done three stages of work for the salvation of mankind.

  • In the Age of Law and the Age of Grace God began His work in Israel and Judah.

  • In those two stages of God's work, His words were expressed through prophets

  • and written in the Holy Bible.

  • The truths expressed by God in the last days for the salvation of mankind

  • are in The Word Appears in the Flesh.

  • In these three stages,

  • God twice became flesh to do salvation work.

  • The first time God became flesh as the Lord Jesus

  • who was crucified for His redemption work.

  • It shocked the world.

  • The gospel of the Lord Jesus spread everywhere, to every household, every home.

  • Christianity has established churches in all countries.

  • So many people believe in Christianity!

  • In the last days, God has become flesh who is Almighty God,

  • and done judgment work.

  • The Word Appears in the Flesh from Almighty God is attested to humanity.

  • All who love the truth and seek God's appearance and work

  • hear the voice of God by reading the Bible and The Word Appears in the Flesh.

  • Seeing the appearance and work of God, they determined the existence of God.

  • Dad, since you don't know if God exists,

  • why don't you seek and study God's work?

  • Many non-believers agree with things like "Man's destiny is determined by Heaven,"

  • "When man acts, Heaven observes,"

  • "Man proposes, God disposes."

  • Anyone with a conscience acknowledges retribution.

  • Though man couldn't see God, he summed up these words of wisdom.

  • He completely affirmed God's existence and domination.

  • Those who only look for money do not seek to study the appearance and work of God.

  • They only see money, fame and profits in their eyes.

  • They view status and power above all else.

  • The Bible says that only fools would say there is no God.

  • Dad, here's an example,

  • all nations, races and cities that had resisted God were eventually annihilated by God—

  • Hey, is there any basis in that?

  • Why haven't I seen the facts?

  • Can you tell me the facts?

  • Can you tell me when the CCP will fall?

  • When God destroys the CCP, I'll believe!

  • I get what your dad is saying.

  • If God can destroy the CCP for the Chinese to have a good life,

  • I'll believe.

  • Mom!

  • Well, let's go. Food's ready.

  • We can talk while we eat.

  • Dad, let's go.

  • Dad, although you're a CCP member, an atheist,

  • don't you believe in the will of Heaven?

  • Don't you acknowledge a person's fate determines his life?

  • Don't you acknowledge the fact that "What goes around comes around"?

  • It's enough to prove that God rules the world and mankind.

  • For all time, nations that resisted God invariably ended up in ruin.

  • It's too easy for God to annihilate a nation.

  • When the Lord Jesus was at work,

  • Judaism's leaders joined with the Roman government and crucified the Lord.

  • Seventy years after that, Israel was punished by God.

  • Israel was subjugated, many Jews were killed.

  • And the Roman Empire had resisted God and punished Christians.

  • But they got their retribution. God destroyed it.

  • From these historical facts, we can see that

  • those who resisted God faced destruction.

  • They were bound to be punished and destroyed by God.

  • Since it took power,

  • the CCP has arrested and slaughtered Christians.

  • The appearance of Christ of the last days, Almighty God,

  • at work in China has encountered more resistance.

  • The CCP went all-out suppressing The Church of Almighty God,

  • hunting for Christ and persecuting God's people.

  • It even fabricated rumors to malign The Church of Almighty God

  • in an attempt to make people deny and alienate God,

  • ruining the chance for mankind to receive salvation and dragging people to hell.

  • The CCP's countless evil deeds and resistance to God

  • have infuriated God.

  • After God's judgment work in the last days,

  • God will send disasters to destroy the evil forces of Satan,

  • and destroy the CCP so resistant to God,

  • to demonstrate God's righteous disposition.

  • Each of God's words will be fulfilled.

  • The CCP has harmed so many believers and committed evil,

  • and brings great disaster to China.

  • How can it not be annihilated by God?

  • Yeah.

  • Look at how many great disasters are happening.

  • These are retributions for resisting God.

  • Dad. Don't follow the CCP in resisting God.

  • The culmination of injustice is perdition.

  • When disaster happens and the CCP's destroyed,

  • it will be too late already.

  • Dad, Mom, the word of Almighty God is very clear.

  • Only by believing in God and worshiping God

  • can mankind receive God's protection and care,

  • and survive the great catastrophe!

  • Enough! You're preaching the gospel to me.

  • As an atheist CCP member, I can't believe in God.

  • I believe the CCP's theory is practical.

  • If you follow them,

  • you can become an official, get wealthy,

  • attain power and status, and have prosperity.

  • That's happiness.

  • However, when you believe in God, you're on the run, like a thief.

  • You can be caught and sent to prison, who knows what.

  • You can't be happy.

  • I live for the now, not for after death.

  • It doesn't matter.

  • China is the CCP's realm.

  • If you believe in God, the CCP will revoke your life!

  • I believe in the Party. It's due to circumstance.

  • So then, I oppose your belief in Almighty God.

  • Hey, everything's fine. Let's just eat our lunch.

  • It's so nice that we're all together. Have you tried some of this yet?

  • Here, eat some of this.

  • These two kids have believed in Almighty God.

  • It's not easy to change their minds.

  • I debated with them for a while today. And what happened?

  • They spoke so justifiably and factually.

  • I'll admit I was rendered speechless.

  • I really didn't expect Xiaoyi to have gained so much experience and knowledge

  • while he was overseas.

  • That kid is really something.

  • Hey. Don't you see what this all means?

  • Believing in God can only be good.

  • Without belief in God,

  • the kids might be prone to negative influences.

  • When you were arguing, I understood everything.

  • Our son made a lot of sense.

  • Right. He's only been away a few years,

  • and now he's a different person.

  • It seems, believing in God is not simple.

  • Because, how could Yi learn so much?

  • Well I think, believing in God isn't bad.

  • It's good for their growth as people!

  • Tell me why the CCP arrests believers in God.

  • It's scary.

  • You still don't see what the CCP's about?

  • It's an atheist party.

  • The Central leaders detest God. They insist on arresting Christians.

  • What can we do?

  • Everyone knows believers are good people.

  • The CCP's policy is evil. No one can change that.

  • What can we do when we were born in this country?

  • I think

  • Yi has read The Word Appears in the Flesh many times.

  • The Word Appears in the Flesh is really powerful.

  • Its impact is huge.

  • Once a person starts to read it,

  • the change has been made and he can't go back.

  • Those who believe in Almighty God read The Word Appears in the Flesh every day.

  • And they become more vigorous.

  • No matter how much the CCP cracks down,

  • they still persist.

  • The 610 Office had a brainwashing class,

  • inviting professors and pastors of the Three-Self Church

  • to brainwash those who believe in God.

  • I saw the entire process. It didn't work at all.

  • Most of those who believe in Almighty God become even more devout.

  • They didn't even waver with labor.

  • They just couldn't be brainwashed.

  • Really?

  • They appear to be ordinary people,

  • but they have so much wisdom and insight.

  • Professors tried to brainwash them with atheism and Marxism-Leninism

  • to no avail at all.

  • In particular, they were repulsed by the atheism they heard.

  • The scholars and pastors who specialized in Bible study

  • couldn't convince them with any interpretation.

  • From what we heard from our son, he may be godized.

  • There's no turning back.

  • If he gets arrested, it would be disastrous.

  • Even we couldn't save him.

  • What should we do?

  • Weiguo. I know how you feel about this.

  • I don't object to Xiaoyi believing in God.

  • His path is right.

  • But if he gets arrested, it could be terrible for everyone.

  • We have to tell him to be careful, not to get into any trouble.

  • What I think is that belief in God can't be wrong.

  • Maybe it will pay off in the long run.

  • At least it's better than believing in the CCP!

  • The Communist Party is running out of luck.

  • The Party might collapse one day and then what will you do?

  • It could be a big problem.

  • Our son is smart. He won't do any wrong. Make his own way.

  • Listen. How about you ignore it? Don't mind them.

  • Don't cause fights in the family.

  • As for us, we should be alert.

  • Let them believe at home, but not outside. Better, right?

  • You think it's so simple.

  • Keep it hidden? Why would they do that?

  • You think they'll listen to you?

  • You want them to believe in God but not fight at home.

  • Is that possible?

  • Do you know the answer?

  • Here, I'll show you what our government's propaganda says.

  • What's this?

  • Believers in God don't care about their families?

  • How is that possible?

  • If that's true, we raised them for nothing.

  • That's right.

  • If you care about our family, you have to be on my side

  • and do your best to stop them from believing in Almighty God.

  • What can we do now?

  • Look at this document. If they continue …

  • If you take a look at this chart,

  • our growth is expected to follow an upward trend for the first quarter of next year.

  • Hey, Mom wants us to come home early after work.

  • Don't forget.

  • Oh, okay.

  • I'm on my way now.

  • Great. See you then.

  • Xiaoyi, come on now.

  • Don't pressure him.

  • You also need to settle down. (Hey, yeah!)

  • Your mom and I are waiting. (We want some grandkids.)

  • Aw man, I shouldn't have asked!

  • Fine, Yi can find someone whenever he wants.

  • You can't avoid it forever. (Here.)

  • Have some more, Dad, there's so much.

  • Try some more. (Try it. It's not spicy.)

  • It's delicious. (Well there's plenty here.)

  • Let's all try.

  • Xiaoyi, Xiaorui, I would like to talk to you about something.

  • Sure, what is it, Mom? (Yeah, what's up?)

  • I agree that belief in God's good.

  • It helps you take the right path.

  • And so, knowing you both believe in God, I have felt relieved;

  • I needn't worry that you may go astray.

  • But I've read government documents that warn

  • that some people who believe in Almighty God

  • will abandon their families in order to preach the gospel.

  • Some even go their whole lives without getting married.

  • The documents also say

  • that the government seeks to detain one group of believers in Almighty God

  • and to kill another!

  • And something like, "Troops won't be withdrawn,"

  • not "until the ban is done."

  • Many believers of Almighty God were arrested,

  • imprisoned, wounded, and even crippled.

  • Some believers lost their jobs and even their families were ruined.

  • It's said in response to all this

  • that believers don't care for their families.

  • Xiaoyi, Xiaorui, do you think any of this is true?

  • Mom—(I have to say this,)

  • you mustn't give up marriage or abandon your family.

  • If this is what your faith is like,

  • I implore you don't believe in Almighty God.

  • Just promise me.

  • Mom, you know that belief leads to the right path, and that's great!

  • If you also grasped that God's appearance and work is for the salvation of man,

  • you'd believe in and follow God too.

  • He also said:

  • Yeah, Mom.

  • If you read these words of the Lord Jesus,

  • you'll know what kind of people true believers of the Lord Jesus are.

  • It's followers like this that the CCP hates most.

  • Hey, Mom, do you know the reason they follow the Lord like this?

  • I don't.

  • They follow the Lord this way

  • to pursue the truth, for the life, and for the Lord.

  • They can give up all worldly glory and wealth,

  • they don't covet carnal pleasure,

  • they're willing to endure hardships

  • to preach the gospel and bear witness for the Lord.

  • They are such noble people!

  • The Lord praises all such people.

  • That's true, Mom.

  • What we need to know is why the CCP hates, defames and condemns them.

  • Why are they being detained and put to death?

  • The CCP says "Troops won't be withdrawn till the ban's done."

  • Is this not a perverse act against Heaven?

  • And resistant to God?

  • In my opinion,

  • what the CCP has done to these people

  • who believe in God is criminal and sinful.

  • It's reactionary.

  • Mom, you must discern the difference.

  • Mom, believers in God preach the gospel

  • and bear witness for God so that others can be saved by God.

  • You see that the world grows more dark and evil.

  • People grow more corrupt.

  • They support evil and abhor the truth.

  • They follow the world's evil trends,

  • pursue wining, dining and gaming, enjoy sinful pleasure,

  • and even openly deny, resist and act against God.

  • Mom, this world is so evil and its people are just so corrupted,

  • shouldn't they have been destroyed long ago?

  • The Bible prophesies a catastrophe during the last days.

  • We must return to Almighty God, accept His cleansing and salvation,

  • or we'll be destroyed by catastrophe.

  • Now the catastrophe is imminent;

  • mankind is facing total destruction.

  • By expressing the truth in the last days,

  • the incarnate Almighty God has begun His work

  • to judge and cleanse man, so man may be saved from sin and brought to God's kingdom.

  • Wouldn't you say this is great news?

  • God's come to save man. Isn't that the love of God?

  • Indeed.

  • If mankind wants to be saved, there is but one way now.

  • And that's to accept Almighty God's judgment

  • and be cleansed of its corruption,

  • and thus survive the catastrophe with God's protection.

  • Believers in Almighty God understand God's eagerness to save man.

  • They're willing to sacrifice comfort, and brave persecution by the CCP,

  • to preach and witness the kingdom gospel of Almighty God.

  • It's true, Mom. (Believers endure all this,)

  • so more people will survive through God's salvation.

  • This is carrying out the will of God, Mom!

  • As the Lord Jesus said,

  • Indeed!

  • Dad, Mom,

  • do you think believers in Almighty God

  • don't perceive the danger in spreading the gospel?

  • If you think so, then you are wrong.

  • Spreading the gospel conforms to Heaven's will and people's.

  • It is moral and virtuous!

  • You're correct in saying that!

  • But the CCP betrayed Heaven's and the people's will

  • by condemning the benevolence of Christians and by brutal persecution.

  • Great numbers of Christians were all displaced and rendered homeless.

  • So many were arrested and imprisoned and some were persecuted to death!

  • The CCP government caused the downfall of countless Christian families.

  • Yet, the government claimed

  • it was their belief in God that brought about their families' ruination.

  • Is this not a blatant distortion of the fact?

  • Had it not been for the CCP's arrest of Christians,

  • things would have been different.

  • Isn't it the CCP that has sinned through its persecution of Christians?

  • Nothing's wrong with belief in God.

  • Many people around the world believe, and their families remain intact.

  • Isn't that so?

  • It's true, Mom.

  • Some ignorant people still are deluded by the CCP's absurd rumors.

  • They don't blame the CCP for persecuting Christians,

  • they blame Christians for believing in God.

  • Isn't it mindless as well as preposterous?

  • Mom, Dad,

  • you have to discern what is true.

  • Don't accept the CCP's absurd rumors.

  • Now that I've heard you speak, I understand.

  • The CCP imprisons countless believers in God,

  • and even kills them, and ruins so many families,

  • but it shifts blame to the victims

  • and claims they're at fault for believing in God.

  • It's clearly a distortion of fact!

  • China's government is vile and vicious.

  • Those who believe in God would rather endure the government's persecution

  • and preach the gospel to rescue others.

  • It is just so admirable.

  • These are indeed people of virtue!

  • Hey, Weiguo, don't you agree?

  • In many ways, they are indeed great people.

  • They are not foolish.

  • What they do, they do for the Lord's praises and blessings.

  • Although, do you think this is practical?

  • Dad—

  • I'm serious.

  • Being jailed for preaching the gospel, what kind of future's that?

  • Like it or not, we all need wellness.

  • If you're sent to jail for your whole life,

  • what will the Lord's blessings do for you then?

  • I don't understand at all.

  • Now, if the Lord saved them from prison

  • by bringing them into the kingdom of heaven immediately,

  • then that would be a real blessing.

  • Has this ever happened? I've never heard of it.

  • I'm sorry, but there's no way I can allow you to believe in God and preach the gospel.

  • As your father, I can't condone you suffering such hardship and pain.

  • And I can't bear to see you arrested and jailed.

  • You must respect my wishes about this.

  • All that I do is for your own good and your sister's own good

  • and for your futures.

  • Don't you understand this?

  • Dad!

  • I am full, you carry on!

  • Xiaoyi, Xiaorui, your father is right!

  • At this time belief in God and preaching the gospel is too dangerous in China.

  • Don't go and spread the gospel.

  • At home, you can practice your beliefs.

  • Once the CCP collapses, and there's religious freedom,

  • then preach the gospel and witness for God.

  • It won't be late.

  • You know the CCP's intent on arresting and persecuting Christians.

  • I become utterly terrified

  • when you go out to preach the gospel and witness for God.

  • That's right. You're grown up now.

  • Think for once of your mom and dad.

  • Mom, let's talk over there.

  • Okay.

  • No thanks.

  • You …

  • Mom.

  • Dad, Mom, we know you fear that we will be persecuted.

  • We understand your feelings about it.

  • We also know we risk arrest if we preach the gospel in China.

  • But if we wait until the CCP collapses,

  • it will be too late.

  • It's true, Dad.

  • By then God's work will be done;

  • catastrophe will have descended.

  • The catastrophe will destroy those who haven't received God's salvation in the last days,

  • and then their souls will be cast down to hell as their punishment!

  • Dad, Mom,

  • God's eagerness is to save mankind from the throes of disaster.

  • If we refrain from preaching the gospel for fear of the CCP,

  • and we hide at home where we'll be safe, but filled with shame,

  • our hearts will not be at peace!

  • Dad, Mom, it's not easy,

  • but you know what we're doing is right.

  • I do hope you'll come to respect our choice

  • and stop interfering with our faith in God.

  • We know the risks of practicing our faith,

  • and we will use our wisdom.

  • Enough!

  • No matter what you say,

  • I won't allow you to believe in God and preach the gospel.

  • So long as the CCP stands, you can't believe in God or preach.

  • In this matter, you have to do what I say.

  • Or else, you're no longer my children.

  • Dad …

  • Thanks.

  • They're wrong to stop us from believing in God,

  • but they're just afraid we'll be arrested and persecuted.

  • If we keep having these arguments with them,

  • aren't we just hurting their feelings?

  • Won't it affect the harmony of our family?

  • Our relationship with Mom and Dad will be horrible.

  • Listen, I can understand your concerns.

  • But you have to know,

  • the reason we argue with them is to enlighten them,

  • to help them grasp that it's crucial to believe,

  • for salvation and eternal life.

  • They're deluded by the CCP and can't see clearly.

  • Dad can't let go of power and status.

  • If we don't communicate with them about the truth,

  • and they believe fallacies,

  • how will any good come to them?

  • We must enlighten them and help them to see the CCP's

  • persecution of Christians and resistance to God.

  • If we do, they'll support our beliefs and cease to be used

  • by the CCP to be its accomplice.

  • It's urgent we help them to understand,

  • because their opinions aren't based on truth and belong to Satan.

  • If we do not help them understand,

  • how can they be disabused?

  • Don't you agree?

  • I see what you mean now.

  • They want to block us from believing, and to alienate and betray God.

  • They are standing with the CCP to resist God!

  • Our argument with Mom and Dad is a contest between the truth and lies.

  • It's really a spiritual war in the family!

  • Indeed.

  • I really was weak before we spoke, because I didn't understand.

  • I really was obtuse.

  • It's great that now you understand!

  • I wish

  • that I could say the same about Dad.

  • He knows the believers in God are on the right path,

  • but for his livelihood, he follows the CCP and persecutes believers.

  • He's on the path of resistance to God.

  • It's dangerous in the long run.

  • If he doesn't repent,

  • then he'll be punished, and he'll suffer!

  • I'm worried about the same thing.

  • He doesn't believe and so doesn't want us to.

  • We have to witness God's work in the last days for Dad

  • and try hard to save him,

  • so he can change course and not go the wrong way.

  • I sure hope Dad can change course

  • and no longer block our faith in God.

  • That way our family won't be broken. (That's true.)

  • If Dad could read the word of Almighty God in detail

  • and accept God's work in the last days,

  • that would be even better.

  • But even if he didn't,

  • at least he'd break up with the CCP in persecuting believers and resisting God.

  • Then his punishment would be reduced.

  • You're back? (Yup.)

  • Weren't you going to a meeting? Why are you back so early?

  • Where are they?

  • They're upstairs, what's going on?

  • Xiaoyi, Xiaorui!

  • Come down here! ('Kay.)

  • What's wrong? You seem so angry.

  • It has to do with them.

  • Mom, I'll do that.

  • You come here!

  • Dad, what's wrong?

  • Have you heard?

  • The Central Committee's still bent on suppressing The Church of Almighty God.

  • It authorized armed police to work with the regular police

  • to launch a nationwide attack on The Church of Almighty God

  • and completely ban house churches.

  • In an all-out effort to arrest and severely punish

  • key elements of The Church of Almighty God,

  • it will detain and kill such groups.

  • The Communist Party has built many prisons throughout the country

  • in preparation for those who believe in God.

  • You believers of God are facing a catastrophe.

  • Do you understand?

  • The CCP will never relax its policy on religion.

  • It will only get worse,

  • until all the house churches are completely banned,

  • in particular it won't stop until your Church of Almighty God is banned.

  • I am warning you, stop believing in Almighty God!

  • Weiguo, why can't you speak nicely to our children?

  • Why do you have to be so angry?

  • So please come. Sit down here, both of you.

  • You have meetings with the government every day,

  • and you keep at it at home.

  • You're giving them political lessons again.

  • If you must believe in God, at least go to the Three-Self Church.

  • There you won't be arrested and jailed.

  • This is why I'm against your belief in Almighty God.

  • Can you understand that now?

  • Dad, to believe in China is to know we're doomed to be persecuted by the CCP.

  • We all understand this fact.

  • We believe in God to pursue truth and shed our satanic disposition,

  • to obtain truth and humanity and be saved by God.

  • If we cower and obey the satanic CCP regime

  • and practice our faith in God with the Three-Self Church, then

  • how can we receive truth to eliminate our satanic disposition

  • and receive God's salvation to enter the kingdom of heaven?

  • Exactly.

  • Dad, as you well know, the Three-Self Church is controlled by the CCP government.

  • All church pastors are government appointees.

  • As such, they're forbidden to speak about the prophecies in the Book of Revelation.

  • They can't speak of spiritual life, let alone loving and obeying God.

  • So what do they talk about? Patriotic love, to honor God.

  • They discuss social gospel, legal morality.

  • They preach obeying those with power to rule.

  • Dad, can you honestly say such a church truly believes in God?

  • Will they earn the Holy Spirit's work?

  • Such belief in God cannot earn the praises of God! (It's true.)

  • Believing with the Three Self-Church won't lead to truth and God's salvation.

  • It would be futile.

  • Dad, you know he's right.

  • Those with the Three-Self Church,

  • so fear persecution, they'd rather obey Satan's regime than obey God.

  • Are they not prisoners and puppets who obey the regime of Satan?

  • Prisoners and puppets? You're too young to know anything.

  • "A wise man submits to circumstances."

  • What wise man?

  • The truth is they're all timid and cowardly unbelievers who live in shame!

  • There's no way God will praise them.

  • They will be eliminated and destroyed by God.

  • She's right.

  • In any case, we'll never practice our belief in God with the Three-Self Church!

  • If that's what you say, I won't force it on you.

  • But only believe in Jesus, never in Almighty God.

  • Believing in Almighty God it is too dangerous.

  • I've worked for the United Front for years and studied many religions.

  • Christians, Catholics, Orthodox, all these religions,

  • they all believe in Jesus.

  • But your belief in Almighty God's different.

  • CCP documents state The Church of Almighty God is not Christianity.

  • You're preaching the gospel under the banner of Christianity to various sects

  • that don't recognize you as a Christian denomination.

  • I'll never allow you to believe in Almighty God, only in Christianity.

  • The government's persecution will be lighter.

  • If you're jailed for believing in Almighty God,

  • your life will be in grave danger.

  • The CCP realizes believers in Almighty God follow Christ in the last days

  • and are Christ's disciples and apostles.

  • What the CCP most fears

  • is the book The Word Appears in the Flesh expressed by Christ in the last days,

  • also the die-hard group that follows Christ in the last days.

  • We have studied the history of Christianity.

  • And what Judaism and the Roman Empire feared most were the disciples and apostles of Jesus.

  • So when these people were captured, they were all promptly executed.

  • Today,

  • if measures are not taken to completely ban

  • this group that follows Christ of the last days,

  • in just a few years, they'll subsume the entire religious community.

  • Several Christian factions in China already

  • have been subsumed by The Church of Almighty God.

  • The CCP is clear about this.

  • Had the CCP not contrived the "Zhaoyuan Case,"

  • perhaps the day would've come when all the world's religious communities

  • were subsumed by The Church of Almighty God.

  • If The Church of Almighty God subsumes the religious community,

  • it will be unfavorable to CCP rule.

  • So the Central Committee resolved

  • to deploy all forces available to quickly ban The Church of Almighty God.

  • You need to know,

  • the rise of Eastern Lightning took not just China by storm,

  • but also the whole world.

  • With such a big move,

  • how can the CCP not launch a massive suppression campaign against you?

  • If you must believe in God, it must be Christianity.

  • No more belief in Almighty God.

  • The Church of Almighty God does not belong to Christianity.

  • Dad,

  • you just said the reason

  • why the CCP suppresses The Church of Almighty God.

  • But do you know

  • why the major Christian factions were subsumed by The Church of Almighty God?

  • It was because people of all sects and factions heard the voice of God.

  • When they saw Almighty God's appearance and work,

  • they determined the Lord Jesus has returned.

  • So they turned to Almighty God.

  • This is the great news that believers throughout the religious community have hoped for.

  • That's right, Dad.

  • Xiaorui, please give me a hand.

  • Dad, Christ of the last days has appeared to work.

  • And in time, all factions and sects of Christianity will turn to Almighty God.

  • It's also the trend of the times.

  • This clearly shows us the work of God created Christianity

  • as well as The Church of Almighty God.

  • Christianity is the Church of the Age of Grace.

  • The Church of Almighty God is the Church of the Age of Kingdom.

  • Both belong to Christianity.

  • Why does the CCP deny that The Church of Almighty God is part of Christianity?

  • The CCP is an atheist political party,

  • a satanic regime that hates the truth and resists God.

  • What does it know about Christianity?

  • What qualifications does it have to dictate

  • which church is Christianity and which is not?

  • The CCP knows nothing of Christianity.

  • How dare it then condemn the church of God.

  • Isn't it utterly shameless of the CCP to act like it understands something it doesn't?

  • Exactly right!

  • The CCP openly declared Christianity a cult, the Holy Bible a cultist book,

  • and then destroyed countless copies.

  • It even dumped Bibles shipped from overseas in the ocean.

  • It's a very well known fact.

  • And now the CCP claims The Church of Almighty God isn't part of Christianity.

  • Any discerning person should be able to see what that's about.

  • The CCP did all it could to condemn The Church of Almighty God

  • to sway public opinion to support banning The Church of Almighty God,

  • and achieve its goal of banning the work of God

  • and creating an atheist region in China.

  • That's the true intention of the CCP!

  • Dad, isn't what I said true?

  • Dad, the CCP is an atheist party.

  • How could it understand Christianity?

  • Christianity began with the appearance and work of the incarnate Lord Jesus.

  • The Lord Jesus is Christ,

  • so churches that believe in Him belong to Christianity.

  • The Lord Jesus promised He'd return,

  • and the Lord Jesus has returned,

  • He is now the incarnate Almighty God.

  • Almighty God is Christ in the last days.

  • Those who believe in Almighty God, believe in Christ.

  • All who believe in Christ belong to Christianity.

  • The Lord Jesus and Almighty God are both the incarnate God just at different times.

  • Faith in both the Lord Jesus and Almighty God is Christianity.

  • At present,

  • The Church of Almighty God is Christianity.

  • To be precise,

  • in the last days, only faith in Almighty God is true Christianity,

  • as the appearance of Almighty God, Christ of the last days,

  • has ended the Age of Grace

  • and begun the Age of Kingdom.

  • Only those who follow Almighty God, Christ of the last days, follow the Lamb.

  • Therefore, The Church of Almighty God of Christ in the last days

  • is the more practical Christianity.

  • You clearly explained what Christianity is.

  • I now understand.

  • However,

  • you claim both Jesus and Almighty God are Christ,

  • one is the first and the other the last Christ.

  • Our CCP does not agree.

  • The Internationale says, "There's never been any savior of the world."

  • You witness the advent of Christ the Savior.

  • How can the CCP not condemn you?

  • In our opinion, the Jesus Christians believe in was an ordinary man.

  • He was even nailed on the cross,

  • and Judaism didn't accept Him as Christ.

  • Isn't this a fact?

  • The incarnate Almighty God in the last days that you witness

  • is also an ordinary person.

  • CCP documents clearly state He has a first and last name.

  • This is also a fact.

  • Why do you witness that this ordinary person is in fact Christ and the appearance of God?

  • It's just incredible!

  • No matter how you witness the truth that has been expressed

  • and the judgment work in the last days that's been done by Almighty God,

  • our CCP will not recognize that this person is God.

  • You are just like the Christians, Catholics, and Eastern Orthodox who believe in Jesus,

  • believing in a man as being God.

  • Isn't that pure ignorance?

  • What exactly is God and the appearance and work of God?

  • Does it mean that the mere expression of the truth and doing the work of God

  • are the appearance of the true God?

  • We'll never accept that.

  • If God could truly perform miracles,

  • like destroying the CCP government and all those who resist Him,

  • then we'd recognize Him as the true God.

  • If God appears in the sky,

  • and makes a roar like thunder that frightens the entire human race,

  • then that would be the appearance of God.

  • The CCP would recognize Him then.

  • Otherwise, the CCP will never acknowledge there is God.

  • Dad, I don't understand,

  • why is the CCP always hostile to God?

  • And always deny God?

  • Why does it hate the incarnate Christ in particular?

  • Why does the CCP define the Lord Jesus and Almighty God as an ordinary person,

  • and deny Christ's divine essence?

  • You communists are all atheists. You don't believe in God.

  • How could you know the mystery behind the incarnation of God?

  • Wasn't the appearance of the Lord Jesus a man when He became flesh?

  • With just a word, He could resurrect the dead and calm the wind and waves.

  • He fed five thousand with five loaves and two fish.

  • Wasn't that the power and authority of God?

  • Without the Spirit of God inside, could man perform such miracles?

  • That's right, Dad.

  • When Lord Jesus was crucified,

  • it was God's desire to redeem man through crucifixion.

  • When the Lord Jesus rose from death and ascended to heaven,

  • that was God's omnipotence.

  • Dad,

  • you don't recognize the man who could express truth and do God's work as Christ and God Himself.

  • So then tell me,

  • who else other than the incarnate Christ

  • do you see can be able to express the truth and perform God's work?

  • Whether people believe it or not,

  • God has become flesh and expressed the truth for the salvation of all of mankind.

  • Only those who abhor and detest the truth

  • would deny Christ and resist Him.

  • All those who love the truth can accept and obey God's work.

  • Recalling Lord Jesus at work,

  • the leaders of Judaism frantically resisted the incarnate Lord Jesus.

  • Judaism also rejected the Lord Jesus.

  • But the fact of the Lord Jesus' redemption of man still spread.

  • People across the globe believe in the Lord Jesus.

  • Christian churches are everywhere.

  • And today, more than two billion people believe in the Lord Jesus.

  • This is enough to prove that the Lord Jesus is Christ and the Savior.

  • It is useless to deny it.

  • In the last days,

  • Almighty God expressed all the truths for the purification and salvation of mankind,

  • and did judgment work beginning at the house of God.

  • During His work, He was subject

  • to the resistance and the condemnation of the CCP

  • and the antichrist forces of the religious community.

  • But in merely twenty years,

  • the kingdom gospel of Almighty God has swept across China.

  • Almighty God has indeed made a group of overcomers,

  • the firstfruits right here in mainland China.

  • Now the word expressed by Almighty God

  • and a variety of movies and videos produced by The Church of Almighty God are online.

  • More and more people study the work of Almighty God in the last days.

  • Dad, do you think it possible man could do that?

  • This only could have happened by the guidance of the work of the Holy Spirit.

  • Dad, who in this world can you name that can express the truth

  • and perform work that can conquer and save mankind?

  • Whose work can be extended to the entire human race?

  • Other than the incarnate Christ,

  • there is no one that can perform such work.

  • This allows us all to see the power and authority of God's word,

  • the almightiness, wisdom, and wonderful acts of God.

  • Almighty God is the appearance of God incarnate, Christ in the last days.

  • This is completely true.

  • Dad, do you not believe all of these facts?

  • Dad, God has become flesh to express the truth and perform His own work.

  • It can't be altered by the will of man.

  • Whether you recognize God's incarnation or deny it,

  • God's work can't be stopped.

  • Dad, the judgment work of Almighty God in the last days ends soon.

  • Therefore the catastrophe is imminent.

  • All of those who deny and resist God will surely be destroyed.

  • At that point, it'll be futile to finally recognize Almighty God,

  • it will be too late.

  • That's true.

  • Only those who've been cleansed and made perfect

  • by receiving Almighty God's judgment in the last days

  • can survive the catastrophe and enter God's kingdom.

  • Dad, you're intelligent.

  • After hearing these words,

  • I'm hopeful you now understand this fact!

  • Listening to all this,

  • it does seem as if God's word and work is in fact real.

  • To be honest, I know belief in God is good.

  • Most believers in God are good people.

  • I don't wanna persecute believers.

  • My livelihood comes from the CCP, so I must listen to it.

  • The Communist Party opposes belief in God and I must stand with them.

  • Dad!

  • I will not change my position on this.

  • Be it going to hell or being punished, I accept it.

  • No matter what you say, I will never allow you to believe in Almighty God!

  • Dad, you've shared your views, now I need to share mine.

  • We can't obey you, and turn our backs on God.

  • Belief in God is truly a human right.

  • No one has the right to prevent it.

  • The CCP is autocratic; it meddles in people's freedom of belief.

  • This shows the CCP is a demon that resists God.

  • Dad, if you forcibly impose the CCP's dictatorship in our family's home,

  • will this family of ours still be a family?

  • Why wouldn't it be?

  • You always try to teach us Marxism-Leninism and atheism.

  • You want to turn us into communists, into demons that resist God.

  • Are you teaching us how to go the right way or forcing us onto an evil path?

  • Xiaoyi!

  • Think about where you want to guide us.

  • Is this the CCP's method for family education?

  • I think this is red re-education!

  • I don't understand.

  • Why is it wherever communists are in power,

  • there's no freedom of belief?

  • The CCP always upholds red rule and red re-education.

  • The CCP is utterly evil!

  • It is simply unbearable!

  • It seems that I must go abroad to find religious freedom.

  • That is what most people long for. (Choose your words more wisely!)

  • I sent you abroad to further your studies,

  • so you could receive an advanced Western education.

  • I didn't expect that when you kids grew up,

  • our family home would no longer satisfy you!

  • And now you're ready to leave home!

  • Dad, don't be angry.

  • Xiaoyi is speaking from the heart.

  • These are all facts.

  • Take a look at the communists.

  • They want power and status and control of others no matter who they are.

  • They force even those who think differently to obey the Communist Party.

  • They cause so many people a great deal of pain!

  • We do not object to your political governance,

  • but can't you allow us some freedom of belief?

  • We don't want other freedoms.

  • Religious freedom is more than enough.

  • Can't we be given this little bit of freedom?

  • We believe in God to be good and to take the right path of life.

  • Just what is your reason for blocking us?

  • Dad, in following the CCP you've abandoned any path to survive.

  • Can't you allow us a path to survive? (Xiaorui.)

  • How do I block your survival? Say it!

  • Just allow us to believe in God and to read God's words at home.

  • That would be so nice.

  • That would make us feel like you were giving us some freedom.

  • All my life, I've lived in the family of a CCP official.

  • Why have I felt such pain?

  • What are you saying? Painful?

  • Think about it. We don't lack food or clothing,

  • but why don't we have any freedom?

  • The CCP's red education and red rule is evil!

  • Is this still my family?

  • Enough! I've talked a lot,

  • but you haven't heard a single word of mine,

  • you just throw "red re-education" in my face.

  • Does it mean that I'm the devil?

  • Religious freedom? Red re-education?

  • Where did you learn these words?

  • It's the influence of Western culture!

  • Just a few years of study abroad and you're completely westernized.

  • I educated you in vain then!

  • Like it or not, you are still my children,

  • and I won't allow you to believe in Almighty God!

  • It is too dangerous to continue believing.

  • Don't you know that?

  • From all that you've said, the CCP would regard you as godized elements.

  • If you're ever caught, you will be sentenced to prison,

  • and your lives will be in danger.

  • The CCP is capable of doing anything.

  • I've been a CCP official for many years,

  • I know the CCP well.

  • If you don't listen to me,

  • don't say I never warned you when you end up being tortured in jail.

  • You think about it!

  • Wait! Why must father and children always argue so much?

  • Do we still resemble a family?

  • What will we do?

  • Weiguo, why are you smoking so much?

  • Our children's faith in God has helped them to follow the correct path.

  • As for CCP officials,

  • they not only smoke and drink,

  • they play mahjong, gamble, womanize and stay out all night.

  • They secretly plot harm to believers in God

  • and build prisons to incarcerate them.

  • It's disturbing to think about all these believers

  • who are good people being jailed.

  • I don't think you people are taking the right path!

  • You should be happy our children follow the right path by believing in God.

  • What are you angry about?

  • It's disturbing as well.

  • How can I not be angry?

  • I didn't send them to school so they could believe in God.

  • I was paving the way for them to be successful officials.

  • I'd prefer they smoke, drink, play mahjong and gamble than believe in God.

  • CCP member's children must follow the CCP!

  • Communist families are absolutely not allowed to believe in God!

  • Well,

  • if they're following the right path,

  • I think we should allow them to believe.

  • Yet, CCP officials would prefer people commit crime and live in sin

  • than believe in God and do good in the world.

  • What has the world come to?

  • Hey, tell me the truth is this all just a father's machismo?

  • Is this the great sentiments of the communists?

  • You CCP officials are too much.

  • You dumped Marxism–Leninism beliefs,

  • and now you embrace Confucian-Mencian theory in its place.

  • "Harmony above all else," or "the value of forbearance."

  • Try those ideas instead!

  • And let the issue be.

  • Hey, so where did you learn all these terms?

  • And when did you start seeing through the CCP?

  • You're right, they smoke, drink, play mahjong, gamble,

  • and yes they womanize all day.

  • But that also takes skills.

  • Not funny.

  • They have the power. What could we possibly do?

  • Why do I oppose our children's belief in God?

  • I'm afraid they'll be arrested by the government.

  • If they go to prison, what are we going to do?

  • Where are we going to hide our faces?

  • How will people look at us? How?

  • You know the CCP is atheistic.

  • The children of a communist believe in and follow God;

  • isn't it a disgrace to the CCP?

  • How long can I remain an official?

  • Our children resolutely believe in God.

  • If I don't hinder them,

  • they will preach the gospel everywhere.

  • It's very likely they'll be arrested.

  • Why can you not see that?

  • Your "harmony and forbearance" ideals are both case dependent.

  • Those two sayings don't apply to our children's belief in God.

  • The CCP calls for the suppression and arrest of believers.

  • We can't be lenient, and we can't let them believe.

  • This is our only choice. Don't you see?

  • The way you explained it sheds new light.

  • I get where you're coming from.

  • If we were to lay blame, it would rest with the CCP.

  • Why can't it do the right thing?

  • The one thing it can't do is help anyone.

  • Instead, it just focuses on arresting believers,

  • and retaining its power of rule over people.

  • How selfish can they be?

  • It doesn't care at all about ordinary people!

  • Whether or not it can retain power is based on the will of Heaven.

  • Those who believe don't have anything to do with it.

  • Since the government claims there's freedom,

  • it shouldn't arrest believers,

  • shattering their families and leaving them homeless.

  • And what's more,

  • it shifts the blame of ruining their families to belief in God.

  • What a pure distortion of facts!

  • Is it now a crime to believe in God in China?

  • Just what has the world come to? I don't understand it.

  • Hey, if you could support your children's beliefs,

  • wouldn't the war in our family simply disappear?

  • When there is harmony, the family is happy.

  • Don't you agree?

  • That's easy for you to say. The CCP's power is absolute.

  • All government officials have to obey the leadership.

  • The central leadership hates God most and is committed to opposing God.

  • Who could ever change that?

  • Had the Central Committee not issued the order,

  • no government official would bother to arrest believers in God.

  • Of course, I see that China lacks the blessings of Heaven.

  • Since the CCP came to power, there has been no prosperity,

  • disaster follows disaster.

  • I recognize that there is no happy ending in following the CCP.

  • It's all too easy to end up as the arch villain and face retribution.

  • Many government officials worry about this too.

  • No one knows how it'll be a few years from now.

  • They'll just live one day at a time.

  • What do you think we should do?

  • The present situation is really dangerous.

  • Not only does the CCP refuse to repent, it's increasingly autocratic.

  • It uses violent suppression to maintain political power.

  • How much longer can it last?

  • It's time we start thinking about the long-term.

  • We need to consider the children's future.

  • They want to believe in God and we should allow them.

  • Isn't it selfish for you to only consider your own prestige and good standing?

  • Any way you put it,

  • the CCP won't last when it neurotically suppresses and persecutes believers.

  • Perhaps one of these days, there will be freedom of belief in China.

  • Though, that might also be when the catastrophe arrives.

  • There will be freedom of belief then.

  • Do you think the catastrophe is all that far off from now?

  • If the children take the right path and believe,

  • then they will go to heaven.

  • We don't believe in God, and we also do evil.

  • We'll definitely go to hell when we die.

  • We chose this path,

  • so we have no one to blame for it but ourselves.

  • We'll go to hell when we die?

  • What heaven and hell, I don't believe it!

  • Regardless we cannot let them go to preach the gospel and witness for God.

  • It is too dangerous!

  • If they're put in prison, they might be crippled by torture.

  • Then their entire life would be ruined!

  • You see how stubborn they are.

  • They do not give … even give an inch to me!

  • Do you think they will give in when they are interrogated?

  • Just try and imagine what the consequences would be!

  • I will be implicated and dismissed in my position.

  • And then who will be left to help us?

  • Will we be able to keep our costly home or car?

  • Will you be able to wear diamonds and gold and live like an aristocrat?

  • All will be gone! We'll be completely destitute!

  • Can you not see the consequences?

  • You don't realize what's in front of you, let alone the future.

  • You're back from work?

  • Yes. Have a nice day.

  • Thanks.

  • Mom, want to listen to some of Almighty God's words with me? (Sure.)

  • That's great! I'll read a passage.

  • Yes, go ahead and read it.

  • Mr. Zheng, you're not looking so well.

  • You can't work so relentlessly. You have to pay attention to your health too!

  • What can I do?

  • I had a meeting in the province.

  • The Central Committee wants to further increase the crackdown on house churches,

  • especially on Eastern Lightning.

  • We must do our utmost to eliminate it.

  • The government for years has spared no effort in suppressing The Church of Almighty God.

  • The Eastern Lightning grows despite this.

  • Now it has expanded overseas.

  • It is a real headache!

  • Mom, you just heard Almighty God's words,

  • how do you feel?

  • It was truly mind-blowing.

  • I've never heard it before.

  • An ordinary person could never say that.

  • I'd like to take some time to read it closely.

  • Mom, we also have lots of hymns in the—

  • Dad is back. Put the book away.

  • Quickly.

  • Welcome home, Dad. (Thanks.)

  • Welcome home.

  • Thanks.

  • It's good you're both here. We must talk.

  • What's up, Dad? Tell us.

  • We must discuss your belief in God again.

  • Are you sure that you know who really created The Church of Almighty God?

  • I've worked for the United Front a long time,

  • and studied religions for decades.

  • Beyond doubt, I grasp various religions rather well.

  • For over twenty-five years, we've focused on studying The Church of Almighty God.

  • According to the government propaganda materials,

  • The Church of Almighty God was founded by someone named Zhao in northeastern China.

  • He leads The Church of Almighty God.

  • This man is the high priest of the Church.

  • Those in The Church of Almighty God claim he's used by the Holy Spirit.

  • They listen to the preaching of this man used by the Holy Spirit,

  • and they listen to him in the church's administrative work.

  • Though you believers of Almighty God read the word of Almighty God,

  • pray in His name,

  • regard The Word Appears in the Flesh expressed by Almighty God as canonical doctrine,

  • and communicate the word of Almighty God,

  • it's this person who has final say in The Church of Almighty God.

  • We're certain it was this person who in fact created The Church of Almighty God.

  • The religious community and the CCP say it's an outfit of man.

  • I think this is correct.

  • Do you understand this?

  • Dad, the CCP has long studied The Church of Almighty God.

  • Is what you said the result of such a study?

  • So then tell me who founded Christianity,

  • who founded Catholicism?

  • Could it be Paul or Peter, who then was the founder?

  • Who founded Judaism?

  • Could it be that it was Moses?

  • Isn't this all absurd?

  • Dad, you atheists don't acknowledge God's existence,

  • not to mention the fact of God's incarnation.

  • No matter how much truth the incarnate Christ expressed,

  • how much work He accomplished,

  • how much salvation He brought to mankind,

  • don't all of you endeavor to deny, cover up and condemn Him?

  • Dad, do you think Christianity or perhaps Catholicism was founded by man?

  • Are these outfits of man?

  • This is your greatest absurdity to date.

  • Had the Lord Jesus not appeared to work,

  • no one would have believed in or followed the Lord;

  • there'd be no Christianity.

  • Isn't this the truth?

  • How could the apostles ever have created a church on their own?

  • Dad, based on people's acceptance

  • of the shepherding of Peter, John, and the other apostles,

  • can you say apostles founded Christianity,

  • hence it's an outfit of man?

  • Dad, the appearance and work of Almighty God

  • is what gave rise to The Church of Almighty God.

  • People heard the voice of God in the many truths expressed by Almighty God,

  • and returned before God and formed the church.

  • After His appearance, Almighty God witnessed the man used by the Holy Spirit,

  • The Church of Almighty God's leader.

  • As Moses was in the Age of Law and the apostles were in the Age of Grace,

  • he is the man used by God

  • in order to do his duty to water, shepherd, and lead the chosen people of God.

  • Dad,

  • your Communist Party denies God's work and all the truths expressed by God,

  • it even denies that the One followed by the chosen people of God is the incarnate God.

  • Isn't there an ulterior motive?

  • Had it not been the appearance of Almighty God,

  • The Church of Almighty God wouldn't be,

  • it wouldn't exist.

  • This is an undeniable fact.

  • The CCP knows Christians of The Church of Almighty God pray to Almighty God.

  • In congregation they communicate Almighty God's words.

  • Why does the CCP still tell all these lies?

  • Those in The Church of Almighty God believe in Almighty God.

  • God's chosen people obey the man

  • who is used by the Holy Spirit according to Almighty God's word.

  • This is a fact.

  • Dad, you'll understand if you hear the words of Almighty God.

  • Dad,

  • in The Ten Administrative Decrees That Must Be Obeyed by God's Chosen People in the Age of Kingdom,

  • the seventh administrative decree says:

  • Dad, believers' acceptance of the leadership of the man used by the Holy Spirit

  • is practicing God's word and is obeying God.

  • When it was studying The Church of Almighty God,

  • why didn't the CCP read Almighty God's word?

  • Why hasn't it seen Almighty God's ten administrative decrees?

  • Why didn't you seek from God's chosen people of The Church of Almighty God

  • and allow them to communicate the truth to you?

  • You studied The Church of Almighty God from the outside

  • without understanding God's work,

  • as you didn't read Almighty God's word,

  • so then how could you understand The Church of Almighty God?

  • Dad, why is it that the CCP maintains our church is an outfit of man?

  • Why hasn't it said a word about the incarnate God?

  • Why hasn't it said a thing about the book The Word Appears in the Flesh?

  • Why is that?

  • What the CCP fears most is the truth expressed by Almighty God,

  • because the CCP knows all Almighty God followers accepted Almighty God

  • after they carefully read the book, The Word Appears in the Flesh.

  • So the CCP distracts people's attention

  • by saying that The Church of Almighty God was really created by man.

  • It intentionally hides the appearance of Almighty God, Christ of the last days,

  • so that people will pay attention to this person.

  • The government does this to stop people from believing in and following God.

  • This is in fact its real purpose.

  • The CCP distorts the facts

  • and claims the church where God appears to work is an outfit of man.

  • This is the CCP's excuse for persecuting and suppressing God's church.

  • The CCP is so cunning and so vicious!

  • Dad, isn't what I said the truth?

  • You have to distinguish between them.

  • You must not listen to the CCP's rumors.

  • That's enough, don't say anymore!

  • Do you realize

  • if the CCP hears you talking like this, there is going to be trouble?

  • I know too well what the CCP is capable of.

  • Do you have the slightest idea?

  • Dad,

  • of course you know what the CCP is capable of better than we do.

  • So then why do you still believe in the CCP's nonsense?

  • Please think about this carefully,

  • why is it that the CCP defames The Church of Almighty God,

  • creating misguided public opinions

  • that misleads the people of China and the world

  • to condemn The Church of Almighty God?

  • Isn't it all for the evil purpose of banning the work of Almighty God in the last days

  • and completely banning The Church of Almighty God?

  • Aren't all its actions aimed at

  • maintaining and perpetuating its stability and autocracy?

  • God created mankind.

  • Why does the CCP compete with God for power and try to control mankind?

  • Dad, God expresses the truth, leads, and saves mankind.

  • The CCP spreads all kinds of fallacies

  • such as evolutionism and atheism to corrupt mankind.

  • All that the CCP does is to resist and to act against God.

  • The nature of this problem is so serious.

  • God will direct His wrath at the CCP in divine retribution!

  • At the time,

  • wasn't the Roman regime destroyed by God

  • for resisting and persecuting the Lord Jesus?

  • You should have seen this historical fact quite clearly!

  • Dad, you can no longer resist God.

  • The consequence for resisting God is perdition!

  • That's right, Dad.

  • Dad, if you don't accept God exists,

  • look at the retributions that befell those who resisted God,

  • and you'll know there really is a God.

  • It is God who dominates everything.

  • Dad, understand that you are attacking and resisting God

  • when you follow the CCP government

  • to malign and profane The Church of Almighty God!

  • I beg you to hurry and repent.

  • Don't follow the CCP in resisting God!

  • Otherwise, you'll surely be punished by God!

  • Shut up! How dare you lecture me!

  • You claim all who resist Almighty God will be punished.

  • I don't believe a word that you say!

  • Where's God in this world?

  • Where's Christ? Where is any Savior?

  • Dad—

  • Let me tell you,

  • I am a faithful disciple of Satanist Karl Marx,

  • and I am a resolute atheist.

  • I don't believe a single word that you say!

  • I don't care how God will destroy the CCP

  • and what our outcome will be.

  • I'm a lifelong CCP follower.

  • I work for the CCP that's how I earn my livelihood.

  • Even if it means ending up in hell with Karl Marx, I stand by the CCP!

  • Dad, we have explained it so clearly to you.

  • Why is it you still follow the CCP?

  • Dad, you used to be understanding.

  • You weren't like this before. What is happening to you?

  • You don't believe, and you won't allow us too.

  • Are you sure you're thinking straight?

  • You want to be in hell with Karl Marx.

  • Do you want to drag us to hell with you too then?

  • Xiaorui.

  • You don't think at all of what's best for us.

  • Are you even still our father?

  • Say it again!

  • Stop!

  • Enough. Xiaorui!

  • I can see it clearly now.

  • Like the Communist Party, you both deny and resist God.

  • Many people in the world acknowledge God.

  • Only the devil does not acknowledge God, only the devil resists God!

  • You brat, how dare you say I'm the devil!

  • Zheng Weiguo, what are you doing? Are you insane?

  • Xiaoyi, are you all right?

  • Xiaoyi, are you okay?

  • Let me be perfectly clear.

  • So long as I'm alive, I'll block your faith in Almighty God.

  • Now make a choice.

  • Do you want this to be your home,

  • or do you want to believe in Almighty God?

  • Dad, it is totally justifiable for a creature to worship God.

  • Though you are my father,

  • you've no right to block my faith.

  • You …

  • I've made my choice. I follow Almighty God.

  • And this will never change!

  • Dad!

  • God created mankind.

  • It's the right path of life for man to believe in and obey God!

  • I've chosen to believe in God,

  • I'll forge ahead without hesitation.

  • Xiaorui!

  • Do not try to stop me.

  • Fine! Fine!

  • Nothing I say matters to you!

  • Since you must believe in God,

  • then we'll terminate our relationship.

  • From now on, you're not my children.

  • This is no longer your home! Both of you get out!

  • What was that? Are you mad?

  • Or is it that the CCP has at last thoroughly deluded you?

  • How could any man with a heart have said what you just did?

  • Dad,

  • do you really want us to leave?

  • Haven't I made this clear?

  • If you believe in Almighty God, then get out of here!

  • What's wrong with you? How can you be so heartless?

  • No please, don't go.

  • Let's talk. Come now!

  • My son, my daughter!

  • Don't do this. Please don't go! (Mom.)

  • Weiguo, please say something.

  • Say something! We can't loose our children like this!

  • Stay with us!

  • Weiguo, say something now!

  • We can't loose our children!

  • Dad, Mom, take care of yourselves.

  • Xiaoyi, Xiaorui!

  • Xiaoyi, Xiaorui!

  • Please come back! Come back home!

  • How dare you make them leave!

  • Your heart must be made of stone!

  • Are you some kind of monster?

  • You follow the CCP to persecute those who believe in God.

  • You don't even spare your own children.

  • Why are you so obedient to the CCP?

  • You care about the CCP more than your children!

  • Is the CCP your parents? How can you be so loyal to it?

  • You are correct!

  • The CCP is my parents. I've sold myself to it!

  • No matter if I'm dead or alive, I belong to the CCP,

  • and you better accept that!

  • You try to stop me, I will evict you too!

  • Just look at you. Do you hear yourself?

  • Is there room for anything in your heart other than the CCP?

  • You even stopped wanting your wife and children.

  • Look what's happened to our family,

  • and it's all because of the evil CCP!

  • Just what is it, what is the CCP?

  • It's the devil's party, an evil party!

  • You're still holding onto the CCP.

  • I see now that you are the devil!

  • You even wanted to evict me, don't you?

  • Fine, alright!

  • I can no longer bear the sight of you anyway!

  • I've had enough of your red rule.

  • I'm going to be with my children now,

  • I'll believe in God with them!

  • You can go to hell with your wretched party!

  • Get out of my sight!

  • It's over, this home is over!

  • That wretched government!

  • What red education, what red rule!

  • Go to hell …

Why hasn't your brother come out yet?
