东方闪电/全能神教会:识别异端的标准
Eastern Lightning / Church of Almighty God: Standards for Identifying Heresy
核心论证 Core Argument
东方闪电/全能神教声称基督已经第二次道成肉身为一位中国女性。这一主张与圣经的明确教导直接矛盾。希伯来书9:28教导基督"一次被献",10:12说他"献了一次永远的赎罪祭"——基督的道成肉身和赎罪工作是"一次永远"的,不需要也不会重复。 耶稣自己对再临的方式有明确描述:"闪电从东边发出,直照到西边;人子降临也要这样"(马太福音24:27)。基督的再来是公开的、可见的、荣耀的事件,使徒行传1:11确认"他怎样往天上去,他还要怎样来"——驾着天上的云降临,众目要看见他(启示录1:7)。这与秘密的、不为人知的再次道成肉身完全不同。 耶稣特别警告了假基督的出现:"那时若有人对你们说'基督在这里',或说'基督在那里',你们不要信"(马太福音24:23)。全能神教的主张——基督已经秘密来到中国——恰恰是耶稣所预言的假基督模式。 全能神教还使用恐吓、控制和操纵的手段对待成员和离开者,这与基督教对自由意志和爱的尊重完全相反。加拉太书5:1说"基督释放了我们,叫我们得以自由"——真正的基督信仰带来自由,而非恐惧和控制。
Eastern Lightning/Church of Almighty God claims Christ has been incarnated a second time as a Chinese woman. This directly contradicts Scripture. Hebrews 9:28 teaches Christ was 'offered once,' 10:12 says He offered 'one sacrifice for sins forever' — Christ's incarnation and atoning work are 'once for all,' neither needing nor receiving repetition. Jesus Himself described His return explicitly: 'As lightning that comes from the east is visible even in the west, so will be the coming of the Son of Man' (Matthew 24:27). Christ's return is a public, visible, glorious event. Acts 1:11 confirms 'He will come back in the same way you have seen him go into heaven' — coming on clouds, every eye seeing Him (Revelation 1:7). This is utterly different from a secret, unknown re-incarnation. Jesus specifically warned about false Christs: 'If anyone tells you, "Here is the Christ" or "There he is," do not believe it' (Matthew 24:23). Eastern Lightning's claim — Christ has secretly come to China — matches precisely the false Christ pattern Jesus prophesied. Eastern Lightning also uses intimidation, control, and manipulation against members and those who leave, completely contrary to Christianity's respect for free will and love. Galatians 5:1 says 'It is for freedom that Christ has set us free' — true Christian faith brings freedom, not fear and control.
