Concept of the Church of Jesus Christ: Respect Differences, Learn from Jesus

The diversity in the world originates from the result of creation. The existence of material world in various places and periods is the essence of the work of creation. The human world is interdependent, relying on the functional differences to complement each other and perfect the unity of the world's existence. The existence of various differences among all things has inherent significance. Differences exist in a relationship of dependence rather than opposition. Only by recognizing the unity of all things can we begin to respect and appreciate differences. Respect for differences will eliminate the root cause of discrimination and judgmental habits in traditional beliefs, and establish natural love, understanding, and respect among individuals, cultures, nations, denominations, religions, and beliefs. Respect for differences turns humanity away from conflict, provides complementary interaction between individuals, and is the power to unveil the curtain of human minds, completing the final piece of the puzzle that fills the gaps in history.

The Church of Jesus Christ advocates: Inclusive Faith

The faith brought by Jesus Christ should have been sufficient to lead to peace and prosperity. However, in today's chaotic world, especially with spiritual strength lagging far behind technological development, humanity is approaching the brink of self-destruction, which prompts the search for answers. The Bible has become the source of understanding Jesus Christ for many mainstream churches today. The process of compiling the canonical scriptures involved human subjective will and, in the context of differing beliefs at the time, formed the choices of that era. Human understanding of the source of cognition is limited, and the incompleteness of scriptures has perpetuated disputes. Due to disputes and lack, the moral level of humanity has been difficult to elevate alongside human progress. With the excavation of ancient artifacts and records, especially those from Nag Hammadi, along with the authentication of its literature and the availability of various information channels, humanity has accumulated knowledge about the world, internally and externally, and has the opportunity to make partial progress appropriate to its own stage through selection. The Church of Jesus Christ has experienced and understood the stages of human progress, thus accommodating reservations about doctrines at different stages of personal growth, thereby accommodating various doctrines and rituals. Only such a church can achieve the unity of all paths before God and unity in diversity. The Church of Jesus Christ retraces the true essence of the gospel, advocates respect for differences, establishes a foundation of peace, and promotes global unity.
