In recent years, as the gospel of the Eastern Lightning is spreading rapidly to many countries and regions, the work of judgment beginning with the house of God that Almighty God does in the last days is preached and testified to by more and more people and the Church of Almighty God is of keen interest to people and religious world from all around the world. A growing number of people who thirst for the truth and yearn for the return of the Lord Jesus begin to focus on God’s work in the last days and visit the website of the Church of Almighty God to seek and investigate the true way. Meanwhile, the atheistic CCP government spreads and fabricates many rumors against the Church of Almighty God through the media, one of which says: The Church of Almighty God is set up by man and it is a human organization. Consequently, many people are bewildered by the rumors. When facing God’s work in the last days, they hold back and do not dare to investigate further. Some raise the following questions: Is the Church of Almighty God really a human organization? What’s the difference between human organization and God’s church? In order to free from the fallacies and lies of the CCP and not miss God’s salvation in the last days, let’s find out the truth behind the rumors. …

First, we must be clear about what human organization is. Just as this implies, human organization is set up by man, and is a group which exists for certain common good. There are plenty of organizations, large or small, in the world. Some are political parties that consist of politicians; some are military leagues among nations; some are economic unions built up by countries or regions for trade; some are non-profit groups formed by social charitable people, and so on. These organizations founded by men all have their own development goals and pursuit of profits. Political parties are founded for taking part in political activities and seeking official position; military leagues struggle for the interests of the states; economic organizations are made for establishing trade relations and making money; social charities aim to maintain relative social harmony and stability through human effort, such as maintaining human rights, protecting ecological environment, etc. It is certain that, no matter what development goals all kinds of organizations have, as long as their purposes are not to worship the only true God who created the heavens and the earth and all things, whatever they do is doing their own business and has nothing to do with God’s work of managing and saving mankind. They cannot be mentioned in the same breath.

Is the church an organization of man or not? The majority who are familiar with the Bible know that the churches of Christianity come from God and come into being thanks to the appearance and work of God incarnate. Two thousand years ago, God was incarnated for the first time to do His work of redeeming all mankind under the name of the Lord Jesus, and expressed the truth that man should practice and enter into in the Age of Grace. At that time, many people believed in and followed the Lord, and He shepherded and led them personally, set up churches, and handed over to Peter the power of administrating the churches. In this way, the churches in the Age of Grace came into being. In the Age of Grace, believers in the Lord all prayed to the Lord Jesus, abode by and practiced His words. At the end of the last days, the incarnate Almighty God appears and works in Mainland China. He does the work of judgment beginning with the house of God prophesied in the Bible on the basis of the Lord Jesus’ redemptive work in the Age of Grace. People who thirst for God’s appearance in all denominations, after hearing the voice of Almighty God, have confirmed that Almighty God is the returned Lord Jesus through His words, and have returned to Him in succession. Thus, the Church of Almighty God subsequently comes into being, development and expansion. Christians in the Church of Almighty God pray in the name of Almighty God, fellowship about and practice the truths expressed by Him, which is sufficient to prove that the Church of Almighty God is set up, shepherded and governed by Almighty God Himself. For many years, Christians in the Church of Almighty God have experienced the judgment and chastisement of God’s words, and their corrupt dispositions have been purified and changed, walking on the right path of life of fearing God and shunning evil. This is entirely the result achieved by God’s words, and even more by the work of the Holy Spirit. Any human organizations are unable to achieve such facts.

Therefore, the substantial differences between human organization and God’s church lie in: Human organization is set up by man, and its leaders and participators are all corrupt humanity, while the church of God comes into being because of God’s work and its leader is the incarnate God Himself, namely Christ. His chosen people follow and worship Christ as well. The development of human organization relies on man’s plans and efforts, while the development of churches entirely relies on Christ’s personal watering and shepherding, as well as the guidance of the work of the Holy Spirit. The purpose that man builds up all kinds of organizations is closely related to their own interests, while God’s chosen people get together for living the church life, worshiping the only true God, pursuing the truth and life, and being saved by God. Thus it can be seen that human organizations and God’s churches cannot be spoken of as equals at all.

In order to disturb and impair God’s work in the last days, the atheistic CCP government, which has always been persecuting the house churches, fabricates rumors frenziedly, one of which says that the Church of Almighty God is a human organization. The CCP government believes that it can find a pretext to suppress and persecute the Church of Almighty God by crafting rumors against and discrediting the work of God in the last days like this. But in fact, it fails to list anything lawless the Church of Almighty God has done, and never dares to make the truths expressed by Almighty God public to allow people all over the world to investigate whether they are the truth and the voice of God, much less does it dare to mention that the One whom believers of the Church of Almighty God believe in and testify to is exactly the appearance of the Creator. Obviously, the purpose that the CCP government wantonly slanders and discredits the Church of Almighty God is to divert people’s attention to the analysis and study of human organization, thereby concealing the fact that God has appeared and worked in the last days. It can be seen that the CCP government, too contemptible and insidious, distorts the truth, practices lies and deceptions, and is the complete embodiment of Satan, the demon. If we believe in those rumors crafted by it, follow it to resist and condemn God’s work in the last days, and refuse to investigate the true way, then we will lose the last opportunity to be saved by God and we will be destroyed during the variety of disasters He sends down. Now I believe that the majority is capable of penetrating the CCP’s sinister motive of making rumors against the Church of Almighty God.
