Matthew 24:5 warns: “Many will come in My name, saying, ‘I am the Christ,’ and will deceive many.”The Bible promises the return of the same Jesus, not a replacement man who dies and needs another return. Acts 1:11; Hebrews 9:28.Call Ahnsahnghong the “Second Coming,” then expect Jesus again, and you have quietly invented a third coming.Revelation 1:7 says every eye will see Him. Christ’s return is not a hidden human ministry discovered later by an organization.
Christian liberty and discernment

Pagan Holidays, Christmas, Easter, and Christian Liberty

Some criticism of later holiday customs is fair. But rejecting Christmas trees or Easter eggs does not prove Ahnsahnghong, God the Mother, or one exclusive organization.

This is one of the only points where WMSCOG criticism can partially align with biblical Christianity: not every popular holiday custom is commanded in the Bible. Some customs attached to Christmas and Easter developed later through culture, Europe, folk practice, family tradition, and church history. It is fair to question those customs. It is not fair to use that question to replace the biblical Jesus with another Christ.

The fair point

Some customs are not biblical commands.

The Bible does not command Christians to decorate a Christmas tree, celebrate December 25 as Christ’s birthday, use rabbits or eggs for Resurrection Sunday, or treat cultural customs as required worship.

The biblical answer

Christian liberty is not false doctrine.

Romans 14 and Colossians 2 teach that believers should not be judged as saved or lost merely by feast days, food customs, or calendar observances. Customs should never become idols, but disagreement over customs does not create authority for a false Christ.

Christmas and the Christmas tree

The New Testament does not give the date of Jesus’ birth and does not command a yearly Christmas festival. Many Christians use Christmas to remember the incarnation, while others avoid it because of later customs. The modern Christmas tree tradition is commonly traced to Germany, and popular Christmas customs include elements that are cultural rather than commanded by Scripture.

Easter, Resurrection Day, and Passover roots

The resurrection of Jesus is central to Christianity. However, the English word “Easter” and many popular customs around eggs and rabbits are not the same thing as the biblical resurrection. In many languages, the Christian feast is called by a word related to Pascha, meaning Passover. A careful Christian can prefer “Resurrection Day,” can connect the resurrection to Passover, or can avoid non-biblical customs without condemning every believer who uses different language.

What can be agreed on with WMSCOG?

It is reasonable to say Christians should be careful with pagan or non-biblical customs. It is reasonable to say the birth, death, resurrection, Passover fulfillment, and second coming of Christ should not be buried under commercial traditions. But that agreement does not prove WMSCOG’s claims about Ahnsahnghong, God the Mother, exclusive salvation through one organization, or fear-based control.

Simple conclusion

Do not worship holidays, trees, eggs, rabbits, saints, statues, crosses, churches, pastors, or organizations. Worship God through Jesus Christ. Keep what points you toward Christ, reject what becomes idolatry, and never trade the true Jesus for another Christ.

Fast rebuttals

When the Argument Starts Doing Gymnastics

A good Bible argument should survive a plain reading of the chapter. If the doctrine only works after three analogies, two diagrams, a headquarters-approved definition, and a warning that questioning it means you are spiritually blind, that is not exegesis. That is theological parkour.

Plain Scripture beats private interpretation

Peter warns against private interpretation and destructive distortions (2 Peter 1:20; 2 Peter 3:16). A teacher may explain Scripture, but he does not get to rewrite the Gospel with hidden meanings.

The Gospel is not organizational captivity

Paul says Christ set us free and warns believers not to submit again to a yoke of bondage (Galatians 5:1). Any system that uses fear to keep people trapped should be tested hard.

Jesus remains the center

The Scriptures testify of Christ (John 5:39). The apostles preached Christ crucified and risen, not a later replacement messiah with a new membership structure.

Questions are not rebellion

The Bereans searched the Scriptures daily (Acts 17:11). If asking for Bible proof is treated like spiritual treason, the problem is not your question. The problem is the control system.

Simple rule: if the Bible has to be wrestled into a headlock before it says the doctrine, maybe the Bible was not saying it.
