Matthew 12:50 – Jesus said testified his disciples as His mother, so Heavenly Mother cannot exist!

Examining the truth about the teachings of World Mission Society Church of God (WMSCOG)

“Heavenly Mother (God the Mother) cannot exist so Ahnsahnghong is wrong, or he might not even have testified about Heavenly Mother!”

If we read Matthew 12:50, it says:

“For whoever does the will of my Father in heaven is my brother and sister and mother.”

This was spoken by Jesus pointing at His disciples. If Jesus testified that His disciples were His mother, how can Heavenly Mother (God the Mother) exist?

This is what the people who deny Heavenly Mother (God the Mother) insist.

Let’s see some testimonies to prove them wrong:

Counterevidence #1 – Jesus and us

It is true that Jesus pointed at His disciples and said that they were His mother. So, did He really mean that they are His mother? If we literally interpret according to their insistence, we; the saints who do the will of God, become Jesus’ mother, and Jesus becomes our son. Huh? 

The Bible testifies that Jesus is God:

(Romans 9:5) Whose are the fathers, and of whom as concerning the flesh Christ came, who is over all, God blessed for ever. Amen. (KJV)

(Philippians 2:5-8) Who, being in very nature God, did not consider equality with God something to be used to his own advantage; rather, he made himself nothing by taking the very nature of a servant, being made in human likeness. And being found in appearance as a man, he humbled himself by becoming obedient to death—even death on a cross!

Then can we become the mother of the Creator who existed since the creation? NO. The Bible testifies that we are God’s children.

(John 1:12) Yet to all who did receive him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God

This means, those who follow the will of God can be part of the heavenly family.

Counterevidence #2 – The situation at that time

If we read the context of this verse, Jesus was saying this when His physical mother (Mary) and His physical brothers were standing outside. At that time, including Mary, Jesus’ physical family did not have faith in Him as the Messiah but tried to arrest Him because they thought He was mad claiming Himself as God:

(Mark 3:21) When his family heard about this, they went to take charge of him, for they said, “He is out of his mind.”

So that is why Jesus rebuked them saying:

(Matthew 12:50) For whoever does the will of my Father in heaven is my brother and sister and mother

Since His physical family does not believe in God, He wanted to testify that He only accepts those who stays in the truth as part of the heavenly family.

Counterevidence #3 – the Bible makes a distinction between the living and the dead

Then why didn’t Jesus accept those who didn’t have faith towards God as His family?

This is because only those who dwells in the truth are the living and those who are not are the dead.

(Matthew 8:22) 

In this verse we can see that Jesus testified even those who were living were the dead. This was because the ones who did not believe in the truth do not have life.

(John 6:40)  For my Father’s will is that everyone who looks to the Son and believes in him shall have eternal life, and I will raise them up at the last day.

The truth is Jesus according to John 14:6. Those who do not dwell in the truth, follow the words of God are the dead in God’s eyes.

(John 6:53) Jesus said to them, “Very truly I tell you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you have no life in you.

So the ones who participate in Jesus’ flesh and blood; the Passover bread and wine, are the living and whoever does not are the dead.

Counterevidence #4 – The truth is the Christ

The Bible testifies that the truth is the Christ in John 14:6. And this Christ is God who came in the flesh in 1John 4:2-3.

In the last days, the Bible clearly testifies that we must receive the water of life *words of eternal life* through the Spirit and the Bride.

(Revelation 22:17) The Spirit and the bride say, “Come!” And let the one who hears say, “Come!” Let the one who is thirsty come; and let the one who wishes take the free gift of the water of life.

The Spirit is God the Father and the Bride is our God the Mother according to Revelation 21:9 (Heavenly Jerusalem) and Galatians 4:26. Now, don’t try to insist that the bride is the saints because we people cannot give the water of life according to:

(Revelation 21:6) He said to me: “It is done. I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End. To the thirsty I will give water without cost from the spring of the water of life.

So, only those who receive the water of life; the words of eternal life by keeping the Passover and believing in the Spirit (Christ Ahnsahnghong) and God the Mother (Heavenly Mother) in the World Mission Society Church of God (WMSCOG) can be considered as God’s children and become part of God’s family.
