Just don't go

definitely heresy

not even like normal run of the mill heresy either, this sounds like some cult type sh—tuff.

keep your distance brother.

Keep your distance, this is top tier heresy from a non-Christian group and a temptation from the devil. Continue to pray for a genuine Bible study.

>>551255

Those doubles you've been graced with certainly are a strong argument. Have you ever met or spoken with any of these people?

>>551258

That's kinda the vibe I was getting from them. I'll keep praying for that bible study I guess. I went to a new church the other weekend with a friend and maybe they'll do something

Absolutely heretical, OP.

At first I thought you were talking about the pentecostal Church of God which is common here in the US South. They're kind of weird with the insistence that you let a pastor put his hands on you until you start experiencing xenoglossolalia, but they wouldn't really be heretical by most definitions. As it turns out, there are a great deal of churches with the 'Church of God' moniker.

This reminds me of the time I've met a guy at college who's trying to spread the word that God had a wife and her name is Jerusalem.

I'm Protestant, but I won't deny that there are some strange ones out there…

1. Total cult, do not go

2. Change your wardrobe and stop loving science

>>551254

Aren't we all called to Witness?

>>551254

Don't go, it's a cult. I know a friend of a friend who is in South Korea and she is being harassed by that very same group. I can't believe I'm seeing this on /christian/ of all places. She's not even a Christian and even she knows there's something very non-Christian about that group pertaining to their doctrine. I mean, think of it this way, If a Jehovah's Witness approached you, would you go? If a car accident were to happen to you, would you take that as a "good" sign? What if it was the devil that sent that man to you? You need to start discerning these things, and you start that by reading the Bible and getting in the Spirit and seeking God. It's sad how hard people will work for a false cult, but many Christians are lax in working for the Kingdom of God.

Don't go and read your Bible. Keep praying and pray for protection.

>>551359

OP will only get sucked in. They are a Grade-A cult and they are a huge problem in South Korea from what I hear. They're basically the Jehovah Witnesses of South Korea and I'm sure they'll know how to deal with him. Just stay far away and read your Bible.

My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me. (John 10:27)

It's a real field fam, look up the curry Howard isomorphism

Basically programs can represent proofs

(You) missed the joke anyway

>>551254

>"So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them" as implying male and female referrred to God,

Hmm, I find it interesting they interpret that verse of Genesis that way and use it that way, and it so happens I never agreed with that, because clearly the image of God was only given to the man. All you have to do is read 1 Corinthians 11:7 to see that.

>>551525

As if that verse wasn't enough by itself. Polite sage

>Theologician

Is that the ex-Eastern Bloc equivalent of a Theologian?

>>551489

>I can't believe I'm seeing this on /christian/ of all places

I don't understand, why would I not ask my brothers and sisters in Christ about someone claiming there's a God the mother. It's not like /b/ or somewhere else is going to provide me with anything but ridicule or terrible advice. Not that /christian/ is free from meanspirited people who make incorrect assumptions about lifestyle choices case in point: >>551515 but I'm more likely to get a solid answer here than anywhere else, or heck, if they consider themselves Christians there might even be one here to debate and find out more information about.

>>551359

I'm not sure I am. A while ago I got into a conversation with someone I live with about God and whatnot and I didn't do a very good job of it I think, then that happened again with another friend. I'm not an aggressive person and while I'm good at some things, arguing about God isn't one of them. If God did call me to do it he'd give me the words of course, but so far I have yet to win any souls for the Lord as far as I know.

>>551491

>They're basically the Jehovah Witnesses of South Korea

yikes. I've only met Witnesses a few times, but that was just in school and they weren't trying to bother me, I had more run in's with Mormons growing up, though since I saw them nearly everyday on my way to school or back they left me alone after I turned them down a number of times.

Anyway >>551525

That's a good verse to have on reference if I run into them again. When I was walking home I was thinking to myself: God made Eve from Adam's rib, he molded her, but it was as a companion. Genesis does say he created man, maybe that could be read as mankind, but even still, it's such an odd reading of the verse to assume that because we're made in his image that somehow that means God has a female image as well as a male. I mean, who knows, maybe gender doesn't even apply to God, but still, what a weird weird reading of the verse.

Thank you to all the helpful advice given. Keep me in your prayers. If that was something evil coming toward me with temptation than I would appreciate strengthening prayers of protection from you all. Thank you.

>I don't understand, why would I not ask my brothers and sisters in Christ about someone claiming there's a God the mother

That wasn't directed at you, it was more of an exasperation of how prevalent that cult really is because many thought it was only contained in certain parts of Seoul, South Korea.

Ah, apologies anon. Hard to reading comprehension sometimes

No one said that CS not an actual field, but it is not a science in the same sense that physics, biology or chemistry are. And you don't need a computer to practice it (although it does come in handy obviously). A better term would have been "logic engineering". That GIF is from the SIPC lectures given at MIT. Every computer scientist should read SICP (and do the exercises! all of them) and watch the lectures.

>What kind of things can I bring up as counterarguments?

You, as a non Christian, none. You almost certainly don't subscribe to objective morality and if so you can't make any correct arguments, just emotional ones.

>>560546

From the video there apparently it is some cult called the World Mission Society Church of God from South Korea (what is it about that place that breed these wacko sects?) that I have never heard of before. I didn't find too much on them as they seem relatively nascent but I did find this brief dosser (www.watchman.org/WMSCOG.pdf) and naturally their theology is a complete mockery of Christianity. The most pressing concern though is not their wacky beliefs but that it sounds like your friend has already been brainwashed and is being exploited as a recruiting tool. You need to consult with the family, try and stage some level of intervention and maybe even look into deprogramming. I'll pray for you.

>>560558

Real fucking helpful, anon, we're talking about something serious and you had to make a snide comment. I swear this place makes me a worse Christian every time I go on it.

>>560560

>snide comment

Is any of what I said incorrect?
