Question 5: Paul’s sacrifices and suffering were forced. We admit that as well. However, when you say that Paul in substance hated the truth and was the enemy of God, I don’t agree with that. What are you basing that on?
Answer: There are facts that can show whether or not Paul hated the truth: When Lord Jesus did His works, He espoused many truths, displayed many miracles and shook the foundations of Judaism. A person of Paul’s character should have known that all of Lord Jesus’s works came from God, but Paul never studied or pursued Lord Jesus’s doctrines.
Instead, he went from place to place, publicly speaking out against Lord Jesus. When Lord Jesus was crucified on the cross, the sun went dark, the earth shook and the curtain of the temple was torn in two. Lord Jesus was resurrected 40 days after his death. These two great miracles, as well as all of the miracles performed by His disciples in His name, shook the foundations of Judaism. Despite seeing all of this, not only did Paul not acknowledge that Lord Jesus was God, he intensified his deliberate resistance of God. He took scriptures from the church, then fanatically resisted and persecuted Lord Jesus’s disciples. No wonder they arrogantly started to slaughter his disciples and resist Him to the death. These facts are enough to prove that Paul resisted God on purpose and tried to disturb those who believed in God. His true nature was hatred of the truth and taking God as his enemy. Otherwise, how would he have been able to treat Lord Jesus, who espoused the truth, as his enemy? Let’s see how Almighty God exposed Paul’s true nature. Almighty God says, “At the mention of Paul, you will think of his history, and of some of the stories about him that are inaccurate and out of line with reality. He was taught by his parents from a young age, and received My life, and as a result of My preordination he was possessed of the caliber that I require. … Nevertheless, his one imperfection was that, because of his talents, he would often be glib and boastful. As a result, due to his disobedience, part of which directly represented the archangel, when I became flesh for the first time, he made every effort to defy Me” (“The Fourth Utterance” of God’s Utterances to the Entire Universe in The Word Appears in the Flesh). “For, in the beginning, he persecuted Christ, and did not submit to Christ; he was inherently a rebel who deliberately opposed Christ, and someone who had no knowledge of the work of the Holy Spirit. At the conclusion of his work, still he did not know the work of the Holy Spirit, and merely acted of his own accord pursuant to his own nature, without paying the slightest attention to the will of the Holy Spirit. And so his nature was in enmity to Christ and did not obey the truth. Someone like this, who had been forsaken by the work of the Holy Spirit, who did not know the work of the Holy Spirit, and who also opposed Christ—how could such a person be saved?” (“Success or Failure Depends on the Path That Man Walks” in The Word Appears in the Flesh). Brothers and sisters, Almighty God’s words exposed Paul’s nature all too clearly. Paul was an enemy of God who deliberately resisted Christ. In reality, Paul did not know Lord Jesus at all. He fanatically resisted Lord Jesus. That is because he hated God and the truths espoused by Lord Jesus. Therefore, Paul’s true nature was a hatred of the truth and a resistance of God.

The Church of Almighty God was born of people of Christianity, Catholicism, and other sects and denominations who accepted the name of Almighty God.
