Judgment
Jesus said, “the word that I have spoken, the same shall judge him in the last day.” Where is this written?
Answer: What is John 12:48?
Explanation: This verse proves that Jesus Himself said He would do judgment work in the last days. Anyone saying judgment isn’t needed is contradicting the Lord’s own words.
Some believers confuse redemption with transformation. What’s the difference between being saved and being fully purified?
Answer: What is salvation through forgiveness of sins versus purification through judgment that removes man’s corrupt disposition?
A friend says: “I’ve heard the CCP spreads lots of news and rumors about The Church of Almighty God. If the government says it’s bad, shouldn’t we be careful and stay away?”
We can answer: “Didn’t the Roman government also slander and persecute the Lord Jesus and His disciples? If we judge God’s work by the rumors of an atheist regime, aren’t we siding with those who crucified Christ? The CCP hates truth and God—of course it will condemn the church that truly follows Christ.”
John 1:14 says the Word did this and lived among us.
Answer: What is “the Word became flesh and we beheld His glory”?
All God’s Words Are Already in the Bible
A religious friend asks you: “God’s words and work are all in the Bible, there can’t be any more outside of it. How can you believe God is speaking new words today?”
How would you respond?
Answer:
I would explain that the Bible itself shows not all of God’s words are recorded there. John said Jesus did many other things that weren’t written in the Gospels (John 21:25). Ezra’s prophecies weren’t included either. Also, the Lord Jesus foretold: “I have yet many things to say to you, but you cannot bear them now… when the Spirit of truth comes, He will guide you into all truth” (John 16:12–13). Revelation also says: “He that has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.”
This proves God would continue to speak beyond what was written in the Bible. Almighty God’s words today are the fulfillment of those prophecies.
Jesus said He still had many things to say, but the Spirit of truth would come and guide believers into all truth. Where is this verse?
Answer: What is John 16:12–13? Explanation: Jesus made it clear that His work of salvation wasn’t finished. More truth would come later through the Spirit — fulfilled in God’s judgment work in the last days.
The Lord Jesus and Almighty God are the same Spirit, yet their work looks different. What is the difference in their ways?
Answer: What is Jesus did the work of redemption in the Age of Grace, while Almighty God does the work of judgment and purification in the Age of Kingdom?
A religious person insists: “If all the leaders condemn Him, then clearly it can’t be right. Would God let all the pastors be wrong?”
We can answer: “When the Lord Jesus came, the chief priests and scribes all condemned Him, but did that prove He wasn’t Christ? No—God’s work never depends on man’s status. What matters is whether He speaks truth and does God’s own work. That’s how we know if it’s the true way.”
Almighty God says the first incarnation’s purpose was redemption. What did Jesus accomplish in the flesh?
Answer: What is providing salvation through the cross as mankind’s sin offering?
No Other Name
“Acts 4:12 says there’s no other name under heaven by which we can be saved. God’s name can only be Jesus, how can you accept another name?”
Answer:
God’s essence never changes, but His name changes with His work and the age. “Jehovah” represented the Age of Law, “Jesus” represented the Age of Grace, and Revelation prophesies a new name in the last days: Almighty God. Each name reveals a different aspect of God’s disposition and work. In the last days, God uses the name Almighty God to carry out judgment, purify mankind, and end the age.
Peter prophesied that believers are “kept by the power of God through faith to salvation ready to be revealed in the last time.” Where is this found?
Answer: What is 1 Peter 1:5? Explanation: Salvation was not fully revealed in the Age of Grace. Complete salvation comes in the last days, through God’s further work of judgment and purification.
Why didn’t God save mankind with just one stage of work? Why are three stages necessary?
Answer: What is because each stage reveals a different aspect of God’s disposition and work—law, redemption, and judgment—together completing all of mankind’s salvation?
Notion: You believe in a Chinese, not God
Some people say, “You’re just following a regular Chinese person, not God.” How would you explain why God incarnating with ordinary humanity does not change His divine essence?
Answer:
When God becomes flesh, He must have normal humanity—just like Jesus appeared as a regular Jew 2,000 years ago. Outwardly He looked ordinary, but He spoke the truth, expressed God’s disposition, and did God’s own work. What proves the incarnate God is not appearance, but whether He can express truth and accomplish God’s work. Almighty God, though appearing as an ordinary Chinese person, has expressed millions of words of truth, revealed mysteries, and done the work of judgment to purify mankind. That is the essence of God Himself—not just a man.
The Lord Jesus forgave sins, but what still remained in mankind that required God’s second incarnation?
Answer: What is the corrupt satanic disposition—the sinful nature?
Notion: No Adding and No Deleting
Some people claim, “The Bible says no adding and no deleting—so God cannot speak new words today.” How would you explain what Revelation 22:18–19 really means and why God can still speak new words when He returns?
Answer:
The warning in Revelation 22:18–19 refers only to the book of Revelation itself, not the entire Bible. John was saying no one should add to or take away from the prophecies he wrote in that book. But Revelation also prophesies that the Lamb will open the sealed scroll (Rev. 5:1–5), and that believers must hear “what the Spirit says to the churches” (Rev. 2:7). This proves God will speak new words in the last days. Accepting Almighty God’s words today is not adding to the Bible, but fulfilling its prophecies.
Peter also wrote, “the time is come that judgment must begin at the house of God.” Where is this written?
Answer: What is 1 Peter 4:17? Explanation: Judgment starts with believers, not unbelievers. This verse shows God’s house (the church) must first experience judgment and cleansing before entering the kingdom.
A newcomer asks, “We’ve sacrificed everything for the Lord. Can we really enter the kingdom of heaven?” How would you answer them?
Answer: What is that entry is not based on outward sacrifice, but on accepting God’s present judgment, being purified, and becoming those who do the will of the Father?
Notion: CAG is Another Religion
“If you leave Christianity and follow Almighty God, aren’t you betraying the Lord Jesus and joining another religion?” How would you refute this notion?
Answer:
Believing in Almighty God is not following another religion—it is following the Lord’s return. Just as Peter and John left Judaism to follow Jesus, they weren’t betraying Jehovah but keeping up with God’s new work. Jehovah, Jesus, and Almighty God are the same Spirit carrying out different stages of work. Accepting Almighty God today is accepting the Lord Jesus’ return—it is one path, one God, not another religion.
Almighty God teaches that the second incarnation is no longer a sin offering but does this for mankind.
Answer: What are John 16:12–13; 1 Peter 1:5; 1 Peter 4:17; plus Almighty God’s words in The Word, Vol. 1, Preface showing the first incarnation redeemed, while the second judges and transforms man’s disposition?
Not All Prophecies Are Fulfilled
“So many signs in the Bible haven’t fully come to pass yet. How can you claim the Lord has returned before all prophecies are fulfilled?”
Answer:
Prophecies are never fulfilled all at once—they unfold step by step, just as the work of the Law and the work of Jesus both took years. God comes first to speak and work, and prophecies are fulfilled as His work progresses. The Lord’s return isn’t about counting signs—it’s about recognizing God’s voice and present truth. Almighty God has already expressed millions of words and begun judgment. That reality proves His return more than waiting for outward signs.
Some pastors teach that Jesus’ salvation was already complete, so no judgment is needed. Which Scriptures and Almighty God’s words prove that redemption was only the first step, and judgment in the last days is necessary to finish salvation?
Answer: What are John 12:48; John 16:12–13; 1 Peter 1:5; 1 Peter 4:17; and Almighty God’s words in The Word, Vol. 1, Preface, showing redemption forgave sins, but full salvation comes only through God’s last-days judgment and purification?
A pastor says, “Jesus said ‘It is finished’ (John 19:30), so God’s work is complete.” How would you reply?
Answer: What is that Jesus’ words meant the work of redemption was finished, not God’s full plan of salvation, and Scripture shows judgment in the last days is still required (John 16:12–13; 1 Peter 4:17)?
A religious friend says: “So many pastors and elders condemn Almighty God. They’ve studied the Bible their whole lives—if they say it’s false, how could it be the true way?”
We can respond: “Who resisted the Lord Jesus most fiercely when He came? Wasn’t it the Pharisees who knew the Scriptures best? Following leaders instead of God’s voice made people condemn Jesus then—if we do the same today, we’ll repeat their mistake.”
Some say God cannot become flesh twice. Which Scripture and words of Almighty God prove He can and does incarnate again to finish salvation?
Answer: What are John 16:12–13; 1 Peter 1:5; 1 Peter 4:17; plus Almighty God’s words in The Word, Vol. 1, Preface showing the first incarnation redeemed, while the second judges and transforms man’s disposition?
Only Come on Clouds
“The Bible says the Lord will descend on the clouds with great glory. If we haven’t seen Him come on the clouds yet, how can you say the Lord has already returned?”
Answer:
The Bible prophesies both. The Son of Man means God becomes flesh, appearing as ordinary humanity, just like the Lord Jesus 2,000 years ago. Almighty God’s incarnation fulfills this prophecy. The prophecy of coming on the clouds points to His open appearance after His hidden judgment work is complete. Those who only wait for clouds risk missing His secret arrival.
