『Once upon a time, three scholars got on a small boat to cross a river. In the eyes of the learned scholars, the boatman looked so ignorant. One of the scholars asked a question of the boatman.

“Do you know astronomy?”
The boatman said, “I am so ignorant that I do not know it.”
The scholar looked down on him and said, “You have lived a meaningless life.”
The second scholar asked a question of the boatman.
“How well do you know philosophy?”
The boatman said, “I don’t know philosophy because I am so ignorant.”
He also scorned the boatman and said, “Why do you live your life?”
The third scholar also asked a question of the boatman.
“Do you know biology?”
The boatman’s answer was same as before: ” I don’t know.”
The three scholars boasted their knowledge and felt bad for the boatman. Just at that moment, the boat overturned by a strong wind all of sudden. All men on the boat fell into the water and shouted for help.

The boatman was able to swim to the riverside with ease and shouted to the three scholars, “Can you swim?” Then, all three scholars shouted with sputtering voice, “I don’t know. Please help me.”
Looking at them with pity, the boatman said to them.
“Why can’t you still swim? You have lived a vain life.”』

It’s best to know how to swim when someone falls into the water. At that moment,  great knowledge of the world does not do any good. Then, what is the most precious knowledge to us? All men are to die. It’s not too much to say that we are running towards death from the moment we are born. What is the most precious thing to us, who are mortal? It’s life. Do you have knowledge about how to live forever among all others? God wanted us to have the knowledge of God above all, which is the only way to eternal life.

You diligently study the Scriptures [the Bible] because you think that by them you possess eternal life. These are the Scriptures that testify about me [Christ] (John 5:39)

Let us acknowledge the LORD; let us press on to acknowledge him… For I desire mercy, not sacrifice, and acknowledgment of God rather than burnt offerings [So let us know, let us press on to know the LORD… For I delight in loyalty rather than sacrifice, And in the knowledge of God rather than burnt offerings: New American Standard Bible (©1995)] (Hosea 6:3-6)

Then who is God we must know in this age of the Holy Spirit?

『When we look at the prophecy of the Bible, it’s prophesied that God the Mother is to appear in the last age of salvation. Every teaching of the Bible has its time. Before the due time, the existence of God the Mother was a secret hidden in the Bible… They crucified Jesus because of their tradition and customs which had been followed for  thousands of years. It’s because they had no knowledge about the prophecies and God evidenced in the Bible.』

– From “Interview with Kim Joo-Cheol, the General Pastor of the World Mission Society Church of God, pp 149-150, July 2012 Edition of the Monthly JoongAng.

The knowledge about God the Mother who allows us salvation! There is no more important knowledge than this to us, who are living today.

NOTE: The World Mission Society Church of God (WMSCOG) believes in God the Mother as well as God the Father, Christ Ahnsahnghong, according to the teachings of the Bible. The WMSCOG shares the love of Elohim God: God the Father and God the Mother.
