Church of the Almighty God
Sources describe the Church of the Almighty God (Quannengshen), also known as Eastern Lightning, as being a "quasi-Christian" group.
Founder of Almighty God
Sources report that Zhao Weishan is the founder of the Church of Almighty God. According to the Chinese state news agency Xinhua, Zhao Weishan is also known as Xu Wenshan.
Definition of Almighty God
The Almighty is the perfect and all-powerful spirit or being worshipped by Christians, Jews, and Muslims as the one who created and rules the universe.
Eastern Lightning
The group’s core tenet is that Jesus Christ has returned to earth and is presently living as a Chinese woman. The name "Eastern Lightning" alludes to the Gospel of Matthew 24:27.
Jehovah
Jehovah is an artificial Latinized rendering of the name of the God of Israel. The name arose among Christians in the Middle Ages through the combination of the consonants YHWH (JHVH) with the vowels of Adonai (“My Lord”).
Morality and Religion
It is simply impossible for people to be moral without religion or God. Faith can be very dangerous, and deliberately implanting it into the vulnerable mind of an innocent child is a grievous wrong. The question of whether or not morality requires religion is both topical and ancient.
Incarnation of God
Incarnation is the central Christian doctrine that God became flesh, assuming a human nature and becoming a man in the form of Jesus Christ, the Son of God and the second person of the Trinity. Christ was truly God and truly man.
