Testimony of Kim O O, Daughter-in-Law of Ahn Sahng-hong

I cannot express how much I wandered in search of the truth. I moved from the Baptist Church, to the Methodist Church, to Full Gospel churches, and many others. While searching, I thought I had finally found the truth. I gave up attending seminary, refused good marriage proposals from well-educated, religious, and prestigious families, and dedicated myself to studying the doctrines of the Church of God, believing this was the one and only truth in the world.

I thought Ahn Sahng-hong was God, and I committed my life to this "truth." After meeting Ahn Sahng-hong’s eldest son three or four times, I married him. Despite my family’s opposition, I persuaded my parents because I was convinced that the doctrine was true. My dream and hope were to become an evangelist, and I thought marrying into the family of the leader (Ahn Sahng-hong) would allow me to live spreading the gospel and fulfilling the Lord’s will. However, from the very day I moved into my in-laws' house, my heart was shrouded in darkness.

The words of Ahn Sahng-hong and his life were completely inconsistent. I spent my days staring at the ceiling in tears. “If the Word became flesh, shouldn’t His life be like that of Jesus?” Yet it was nothing like Jesus’ life. Even the family at my in-laws' house was far from harmonious. From the time of my marriage until now, I have never known what true happiness feels like.

Whenever the church members met, they would slander, criticize, and plot to make someone else look foolish. I began to doubt everything. Everyone believed my father-in-law to be God, but my heart began to drift away. How could there be so much fighting, hatred, envy, and jealousy in a place where God supposedly dwells?

Yet, they believed that no matter how much sin they committed, keeping the Passover would allow them to ascend to heaven. I gradually realized how ridiculous and delusional this doctrine was.

What kind of God would take untransformed, wicked sinners to heaven simply because they washed their feet and ate bread?

Heaven, where God dwells, should be like Eden, full of joy and paradise-like living. If you truly believe in God, shouldn’t love, forgiveness, holiness, and happiness overflow in your life? Instead, the lives of the church members showed no transformation; they were even worse than unbelievers.

Even though I washed my feet and ate bread every year for ten years on Passover, I became more bitter, envious, and jealous, never growing closer to Christ’s heart.

After Ahn Sahng-hong passed away, the church split into two factions because of fighting. I cut ties with the church altogether. Feeling empty, I studied Confucianism.

As Ahn Sahng-hong’s daughter-in-law, I lived under the same roof, eating meals together, and I saw everything, heard everything, and knew the reality of it all. I earnestly plead with you to participate in the true wedding feast of the Lamb, to save your lives, and to enjoy true happiness. There are countless people in the world who claim to be Jesus. However, when you look at their lives, you can clearly tell who is true and who is false.
