The history of abolition of the Passover

There is no church that celebrates the Passover today, except the World Mission Society Church of God (WMSCOG). That's really a wonder. Satan, who opposes God has been devising all kinds of crafty schemes to abolish the truth of life God has given us. Especially he has been trying to hinder the truth of the Passover from the second century about 100 years after Jesus' ascension up until today. After the Apostolic Age, the early Church was divided into the Eastern Chruch led by Jerusalem and Asia Minor and the Western Church led by Rome. Around that time, the Eastern Church that had been holding Communion on the Passover. Around AD155, the first dispute was initiated between Polycarp the bishop of the Church in Smyrna and Anicetus the bishop of the Church in Rome representing the Western Churches. Polycarp, who was personally taught by Apostle John, strongly rejected the Western Churches' claim that the celebration of the Passover on the 14th of Nisan should be ab...

The True Meaning we are keeping the Passover now

When I say to somebody we keep the Passover, many times I used to hear that it’s strange to keep it. They told me the Passover was abolished so we don’t have to keep it anymore. Even one pastor said, the Passover is not in the Bible, isn’t it amazing? What is true, what is right? If there is God’s plan for us to keep the Passover, unless we keep the Passover, we are to be in danger in front of God. So, let’s confirm the fact through the Bible. There is no other way to understand God’s idea correctly but studying the Bible. Let’s go back to the Old Testament, the copy and shadow of New Testament.

In the Old Testament times, the Israelites were freed from Egypt and entered Canaan after forty years in the desert. This was a prophecy that the saints of the New Testament times would be freed from this sinful world and would enter the kingdom of heaven after l...

Christ Ahnsahnghong

The Bible repeatedly says that the lost truth can be restored when God comes to this earth in the flesh and that the one who restored the lost truth is our God. 2000 years ago, Jesus was born on this earth to save mankind. He was baptized at the age of 30 and preached the gospel of the new covenant during His public ministry of about three and a half years. After finishing His mission He went up to heaven. When Christ ascended to heaven, He promised to come back to this earth.  After Jesus' ascension, there were many changes on this earth. Around the end of the apostolic age, the truths of the early church began to change one after another. The church accepted human theories and traditions instead of God's laws.  In AD321 the Sabbath was abolished as Sunday became the official day of rest and worship and in AD325 the Passover was abolished at the Council of Nicaea. Afterwards, non-Biblical practices such as the celebration of Christmas and the veneration of the cro...
