Selected Preachings of the Leaders from Different Levels in the Church

In the man’s fellowship attached to The Summary of Christ’s Preachings and Conversations, it says: “All people, after being corrupted by satan, have become the ones who are full of lies. Corrupt human beings lie about everything, and even none of their words is not mixed with a lie. They have all become experts in telling lies and master-hands in making up lies. It is very difficult to decide which of their words is true and which is false. …” After reading these words, doctrinally we admit that there are too many lies in us, but in our heart we treat this matter as of no account. We are neither concerned nor worried about it but ignore it; and even though we lie, we have no fear, and much less do we pay attention to repentance and change. We can manifest such a state mainly because we do not realize that in essence frequent liars belong to satan, and also because we do not know God’s attitude toward frequent liars and their outcomes.

In the following paragraphs we will first talk about why we say that frequent liars belong to satan.

In the man’s fellowship, it says: “They can cheat God unscrupulously and unbridledly even before God…. How can such people be the ones who are of God? Only satan the devil dares to cheat God brazenly before God.” From these words we see that only satan the devil tells lies, and only it dares to cheat God. Now we can often tell lies and practice deceit; this proves that we have the same substance as satan and we are the ones who resist and betray God and the ones who belong to satan, which is a true fact that no one can deny. We all know that in the beginning when the ancestors of mankind were in the Garden of Eden, satan used the serpent to deceive and cheat them by its lies. At that time, God commanded Adam and Eve, saying that they were free to eat from any tree in the garden, but they must not eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, for when they ate of it they would surely die. But the serpent deceived Eve, saying that when she ate of it she would not surely die but instead her eyes would be opened and she would be like God, knowing good and evil. Thus, it beguiled mankind into betraying God. From then on, with the passage of time, satan’s various lies, evil teachings, and fallacies arose in increasing numbers, and they influenced and poisoned people, causing them to become more and more corrupt that they have all become devils and the embodiments of satan and had the same attributes as satan.

As mankind lived and multiplied from generation to generation, satan the devil invented numberless overt evil teachings and fallacies to deceive and corrupt them in order to permanently rule over and control them. These teachings and fallacies include the theories of evolution, atheism, and materialism, and all kinds of other doctrines and philosophical theories formulated by the giants and the famous people of the nations through the ages; the traditional cultures of every nation; the thoughts and teachings of Taoism, Buddhism, and Confucianism; etc. All these are distortions of the facts, are lies, and are foul means by which satan deceives, cheats, and corrupts people. It is by using these evil teachings and fallacies that satan has fooled people so much that they have all become fox-headed and horse-faced demons in Hades, and become its puppets, spokesmen, and expressers. Particularly in the dwelling place of the great red dragon, the country where the great dragon rules, lying and cheating and disguising even more prevail; no one dares to face reality or wants to speak honestly and truthfully, but everyone practices falsehood and disguise habitually; and darkness and evil lurk in every corner. In this land, where evil spirits run amuck, it is obvious that the devil spares no efforts to suppress God’s arrival, people will be arrested and persecuted if they believe in the true God, and they are all living under the dictatorial rule, being enslaved, oppressed, and deprived of their human rights and liberties. However, the great red dragon shamelessly claims that China is a liberal and democratic country, and that its citizens enjoy their legal rights and interests for freedom of religious beliefs. It is obvious that the standards of social conduct have become worse and worse, morals have decayed, and its people are extremely evil. However, the great red dragon says that China is a land of courtesy and propriety, which stresses on morals and decorum. It is obvious that the great red dragon plays the tyrant and sits on the backs of the people domineering over them. However, it asserts loudly that the people are the masters of their own country and that the position of the people in this socialist country is high. It is obvious that every official of the great red dragon abuses his power for personal gains, grabs and plunders by cajolery and coercion, embezzles money and accepts bribes, and is reckless with greed. However, they have the cheek to declare and claim that they are the servants of the people, honest in performing their official duties and free from corruption and bribery. It is obvious that the country of the great red dragon is poor and backward, and its people in most areas have no means of livelihood and their voices of grievances are heard everywhere. However, the great red dragon says that its country is rich, strong, and prosperous, and that its people live happy and enjoy good health. It is obvious that the great red dragon’s regime is crisis-ridden, strong in appearance but weak in reality, and like a ramshackle air castle. However, it claims that the whole social situation is stable, its country is in the heyday of peace, and its international position has been markedly improved. It is obvious that in the country of the great red dragon the social morals are lost, every social stratum is in a state of chaos, and the people intrigue and fight against one another. However, the great red dragon asserts that the society is harmonious and all the people are of one mind. … From these facts we can see that in essence the great red dragon is evil and sordid and most good at lying and cheating, and that it deceives, hoodwinks, and corrupts people by all kinds of lies and fallacies in order to make them all follow and worship it but resist and reject the true God.
