Shinchonji Graduation Speech

“Because the congregation members, whom I loved, were always on my mind…”

The story of one pastor who willingly became a harvest sickle for his congregation
members that he loved dearly

I was born as a farmer’s son. I pursued the life of faith my mother led. Although I was
young at the time, I served and worked hard for God in many ways and later on even
had a vision to preach the word. And as time passed by, I became a pastor.


I started my life as a pastor by re-opening a closed church up in the mountains and
guided service from then on. As I continued to guide the services for a period of time,
the church was revived, soon regaining its stability.


With a grateful heart, I promised to make more of an effort as a pastor in front of God,
and when I did, I moved to a bigger church to carry out pastoral duties. Anyone could
see that I worked hard


However, the more effort I continued to make, the more I would reach my limits. I was
guilty about myself because it felt like I was only making an effort on the outside.


And then one day, I heard unfortunate news that a pastor, whom I knew personally,
passed away. So, I went to visit the pastor’s wife. This is how she and I became close.
After the pastor’s death, his wife was the first to encounter this word of truth, and she
would ask me if I wanted to learn it as well. She was my precious harvest worker.


Of course, I had no clue about any of this, so it raised suspicions for me and my wife.
We both kindly rejected her proposal. However, she was persistent and in the end,
we gave in and decided to study with a somewhat assurance that God would guide us
according to his will.


The instructor would make his way to teach us by personally coming to the woman’s
house.


The first thought I had in mind was, “Isn’t this the teaching of a cult?” I put up
my guard with the suspicions and disapproval towards the word, but as I began to
understand the word, I was assured that the word was true! All this time when I studied
and examined the Bible, my thirst for the word was never satisfied; it was like digging
into a spring that had no water. I didn’t understand myself, yet I was teaching people the
teachings of man. I was a frustrated blind but once the words opened up my eyes, I was
overjoyed.


I still can’t forget the deep impression I received when I had the assurance that only
through the promised pastor, promised tabernacle and promised theology school can
God’s and our hope of heaven be fulfilled.


From the basic knowledge of the Bible to gradually going deeper into the study, I
realized that all this time when I thought I was preaching God’s word as a pastor, I was
actually a wolf in a sheep’s clothing preaching things that were mine. And, the reality
that the Christian world was full of untruth really woke me up. It was heart-rending and
troubling to hear that besides Shinchonji, God was not with the any of the churches. I
was embarrassed at my pathetic and miserable self.


Of course, there were many troubles and difficulties along the way because I couldn’t
give up my belief system, a frame I was stuck in. However, I was able to perceive in
repentance, gratitude and happiness within God’s grace.


Now, I couldn’t stay still when I perceived the word of life!

I decided I could no longer preach the teachings of man in vain when I plainly knew the
truth.


The instructor guided me in the studies and with what I learned, I taught the
congregation members.


I could see the change in the congregation member after learning the word. They
were becoming a true believer. I was so happy as if I had become a priest inside the
Bible. My wife, who was learning the word as well, had many doubts, questions and
earthquakes, but the more she learned, the more she came to realize and believe that this
work was not the work of man but the work of God.


It has been already four months since I started the study, and now I finally began the
work of harvest at the church I was guiding. Regarding this, my wife would respond,
“If you get caught, that’s the end to your pastor duties there.” My wife was worried,
but that didn’t stop me from making a claim. This was because as I was watching the
congregation members change according to the word, I saw a form of heaven.


It was one day when the Bible study was slowly coming to an end. An elder, who
opposed the idea of Bible studying and held seminars at three times, spoke to me one
day with a look of suspicion in his eye, “Pastor, you seem to be preaching well, but one
might mistake it to be teachings of a cult.” The moment I heard this I became uneasy.

However, I couldn’t quit the harvest work that I had been doing so far.

The elder hasn’t exactly lived according to the word, which this impropriety was later
on revealed to the congregation members, resulting in a lost of trust. So, the elder
and assistant pastor was looking for a fault within me so they could replace me with
different pastor.


Thinking this was their chance, they spread a rumor saying that the pastor joined a cult
and was trying to destroy the church. They told me to hold responsibility for this, then
they suggested for me to retire. Once this incident struck, my wife and two daughters,
who have passed over in the center, would say multiple times, “It was an inevitable
matter. Let’s go to Zion.”


However, it wasn’t an easy decision to make due to the thought of leaving the
congregation members, who did not yet know this word and whom I loved very much,
behind. In addition, I had to admit that I was troubled, considering the responsibility to
take care of the family and the financial difficulties that I had to face.


In the end, I made a decision to leave all matters to God and retired.
My fellow pastors
and along with people I knew, who were unaware that I had met the word of light, heard
the retirement news. They worried by saying, “You’re a fool for not having a plan.
How can you just come out like that without a guarantee?”

However, I had hope in the
promise and thinking how Abraham left his motherland, I answered, “I will show how
God will lead me.” I made this resolution over and over again.


But what was a relief was that even in a difficult situation that we were in, my wife was
steadfast and did not look back like Lot’s wife. I was very thankful for that.


The result of relying and fully believing in God was that me, my wife and two daughters
were able to at last pass over and enter God’s kingdom, Shinchonji Temple of the
Tabernacle of Testimony. And although there were many difficulties and persecutions
faced in the process, 22 of us have successfully graduated through God’s full guidance
in grace and truth.


Moreover, coming to heaven and seeing harvesters receiving training and working hard,
happiness and hope in me grew. I felt terrible that everyone could not be harvested, but I
told myself that I won’t give up until the end. I will harvest and pray so many souls can
be led to heaven.


Hired pastors become corrupt because they are unaware that they are being deceived
by Satan’s power. They only care about satisfying their own needs.


The nation knows
they are under the teachings of man and their ecclesiastically authority and that this is
the wrong path. Yet they are unable to come to an understanding.


Healing the nation
through the word of truth is the path to atone your sins. Remember that this is the path
to pay back for the grace God bestowed upon you. I will work hard to learn the new
song and become a leaf of the tree of life that diligently conveys the word.

The life I led without the word of truth as a priest was wrong!

This is a story about a priest who traded 27 years of his life as a priest with 27 years of
Shinchonji for the truth.

This content is on page 9 of “City of Truth Beautiful Shinchonji” advertising
newspaper.

I was born in an atheist family as the third son out of five children. Since I was little,
I dreamed of giving up my life to help the neglected people. Later on, I became a
Catholic before any of my family members and soon received a calling as a priest.

First of all, I wanted to evangelize my family, but it took about not 14 days but 14
years for my family to believe. After meeting the conditions the Theology school was
demanding, my family was able to begin their own life as a priest.

In this world, it’s not normal to find a guy in a skirt. A person having to restrain from
everything in the world, to be honest but poor, to be pure, to wear absolute clothes of
obedience, to entirely sacrifice one’s youth and passion and to promise to live alone
unmarried is a Catholic priest.

The path of a priest to me is a special and holy path pursuing the truth on the neglected
people’s part.

For 13 years, I was with the children on the streets and then returning to my homeland,
I finished my duty as a priest in the Parish Church. After, living with beggars for 6
years, I made plans for my new dream. I was awaiting good news that would help the
neglected people.

However, as much as to my surprise, it all started with my sister-in-law and youngest
brother.

One day, my sister-in-law said to me, When you know the seed, greed for this world
will disappear. You see Heaven. You can meet the truth God! And when the leaf on the
branch prospers, the holy spirit will come flying to make a nest.”

As it went differently than expected, I could’ve have refused to listen to it, but this
interpretation of the Bible was new and fresh to me.

My sister-in-law told me that anyone was allowed to study being ecumenical, even a
Buddhist monk was studying for that matter. So, without any suspicions, I decided to
study.

However, I did not expect 27 years of my life as a priest to be traded for 27 years of
Shinchonji at all.

The day I made the choice to leave the parsonage to be born again through the word of
truth, and the day I also made a painful decision, coincidentally, it was the anniversary
of my father’s death.

Anyway, that’s how I started the study. Thinking back now, it was a miracle and I don’t
think I could go through with it again even if I tried. Reason being is that I met the
instructor at the parsonage. Every time the words were interpreted into their rightful
meaning, it was hard to keep my tears of shock and surprise in.

Until now, I have attended Mass everyday in sacrifice and service. I fervently hoped for
many souls to be saved as bread and wine became Jesus’ flesh and blood. There were
many believers who came to confess their deeds, so I gave them the sacraments and
recited the Scriptures of Absolution to remove their sins. And I believed this to be the
path of salvation, but I have now learned that it was merely a shadow, not the real thing.

No matter how true the word may be how could you make the ancient traditions of
Catholicism go up in smoke in just one moment? This regrettable incident forced only
an empty laughter out of me.

So, as there is a difference between God’s thoughts and man’s thoughts, God’s path and
man’s path differs as well. ‘

But it was a first to feel this hopeful as my spirit was being born again through the
word. I couldn’t help but admit that everything that I had possessed were merely the
teachings of man, and as I lowered myself being in front of the truth, I could get a taste
of real happiness which I couldn’t have tasted before.

Then one day studying at the parsonage, a nun must’ve suspected something. “Priest!
I heard Christian praying in the halls!” she said with suspicion. I hid my baffled mind
and covered up the awkward situation by telling her that I was studying Divinity
Psychology.

This is was because the Bible was needed to study Divinity Psychology; however, there
was no place to study in Catholic besides Rome, so the instructor who I learned from
was introduced to me as an exchange professor from Rome.

I was good at studying, so I went overseas to study at Rome, Italy. This place
was actually Zion Christian Center at Busan. The study at center deepened my
understanding day by day, and at last, it came to a point where I could no longer preach
the morning sermon using false truth.

However, after 87 nuns and 800 students listened to the new sermon, they began to
offensively ask questions. “Priest! Where did this doctrine come from?” “Please, just
continue with your previous divinity sermon’s!” they said as their faces turned red.

There was a time when I toured the nation preaching Divinity sermons, but now, in the
mornings I was studying at the Center, in the afternoon I was listening to the lecture
tapes, and at night I was memorizing verses. Therefore, I was confused to which one
was my Divinity sermon but couldn’t find it as a result.

I prayed, “God, please!” Please allow me to preach my Divinity sermons at the Morning
Mass like I did before!” However, God would steal my lips and every time he did, the
nuns came our more aggressive. Leaving my body to the floor, I would lie down the
whole day feeling horrible.

Amidst this confusion, I was browsing through the internet until I came coincidentally
came across a Shinchonji slandering video by a person who once belonged to
Shinchonji but left. His logic on slandering Shinchonji seemed reasonable. And the
style of the instructor’s interpreting of the parables were exactly the same as it was in
the video.

What is happening? Are you telling me I have fallen into a cult?

In a baffled state, I called my youngest sibling right away. “Hey, you! Are you and
sister-in-law trying to ruin my life? I said. My brother would tell me that the person was
speaking lies, that there was a reason behind God’s calling of a fervent priest. So, he’d
tell me to bear with it a littler longer and I will soon find out when I continue the study.

However, I was in such a baffled state, I would look up Shinchonji, which was so new
to me, on the internet every single day. My guidance leader would have compassion on
me, and prayed in tears for me everyday.

Fortunately, like me, my guidance counselor used to be a Catholic, so she understood
what I was going through and we were able to work it out. Slowly, I was able to recover
my state of mind.

‘Yes, the word is the truth! The word is healing us!

The life I pursued without the word of truth as a priest was all wrong!

It was a life I wanted to life even if I had to shave my bones? But the answers I could
not find there I was able to find here!

In a situation like so, the word of truth nourished my soul making it healthy, and I have
never evangelized anyone but with the help of the heavens, I was able to guide a couple
from Busan and one from Seoul. Currently, they are diligently learning the word of
truth.

While working hard to save a soul, there were times where I’d experience pain as if
my body was crumbling, but thinking the suffering the promised pastor, who walked
this path first, had to go through, the pain I was feeling became nothing and I was just
grateful.

I will work harder to fully understand the words of life of the promised pastor, and
inscribe each verse in my heart and mind.

Concluding, I want to thank my sister-in-law, my youngest brother, instructor and
guidance leaders who anxiously walked with me until I was able to graduate with
honors, the seniors who prayed for me, tribe leader and especially my fellow graduates,
I love you!

Even if I had all the words in the word, I wouldn’t be able to express how I feel right
now. But there is one thing that I want to say. “Everyone! We were destined to live
forever!” I thank and glorify God, our father, and Jesus who helped me meet the true
teacher who is putting his life down to work hard. I end my graduation speech here.

Thank you.

The never happened before and will never happen again fulfillment of the prophecies in Revelation, testified around the globe

The never happened before and will never happen again fulfillment of the prophecies in Revelation, testified around the globe
A pastor who attended the seminar requested, “Please come to South Africa to lecture in front of 1,000 pastors.”
Posted 9/6/2012 12:56:00 AM | Updated 2012-09-06 오전 12:56:43  


(Photo) On July 21st, about 1,500 believers, including pastors, gathered at the Crystal Cathedral near Los Angeles to listen to the lecture of Chairman Man Hee Lee from Shinchonji Church of Jesus who testified.


The hearts of the pastors and reporters who heard the Revealed Word were moved, blooming in joy of the Spirit, like flowers of heaven.

A pastor who attended the seminar requested, “Please come to South Africa to lecture in front of 1,000 pastors.”

Chairman Man Hee Lee of Shinchonji Church of Jesus brought a huge wave of inspiration to the media and the pastors of the world by doing the work of “Shinchonji’s Fulfillment of the East traveling to the West - Part II” as he went from Korea to Europe, Europe to the United States, then from United States back to Korea. He went around the whole world for a month, starting from July 2nd.
The gospel of heaven Jesus preached 2,000 years ago reached the ends of the earth, the Republic of Korea through Europe in the West (the energy of the West coming to the East). Since then, the New Testament has been fulfilled in the Republic of Korea in the East, and now the fulfillment of the New Testament is being preached back to the West, to be believed and put in to action. The work of “the fulfillment of the East traveling to the West” has been done with great success, twice in May and July, bringing excitement to the whole globe. Pastors and reporters were also inspired upon hearing the Revealed Word, blooming the heavenly flower of joy in the Holy Spirit.

Chairman Lee cancelled all his schedules already planned in advance for the year and went on his second trip of “the fulfillment of the East traveling to the West,” only 6 weeks after his first trip to the West. Chairman Lee said, “It wasn’t only because of the requests of the pastors overseas. I decided to go on this trip in order to fulfill the will of Jesus, who purchased me with his blood.”
On July 4th, at the Chairman’s first seminar location in Houffalize, Belgium, many pastors greeted the Chairman’s party by shouting “Hosanna” with palm branches in their hands. One of the pastors was particularly passionate in greeting Chairman Lee, reminiscent of David who danced to the point of not realizing his clothes came off at the joy of recovering the Ark of the Covenant that was taken by the Gentiles. It was evident how sincere their hearts were in waiting for the Chairman’s revisit to Europe.

About 300 pastors gathered from all over the world that day to meet Chairman Man Hee Lee of Shinchonji at the “13th International Conference,” representing about 10 different countries of the world. Following the conference, Chairman Lee was then invited to the Atterbury Chapel Church in Frankfurt, Germany on July 8th, and led the Sunday service by giving a sermon in front of about 200 believers gathered from all over the world. Some of them even kneeled in front of Chairman Lee at the end of service.
The long-awaited "Shinchonji Open Bible Seminar of America" was also hosted at the center of the world's media in New York, United States, at the Times Center on July 14th, and at the Crystal Cathedral near Los Angeles. At the seminar in Crystal Cathedral, over 1,500 people attended the event including about 500 pastors, and 1,000 attendees among them registered to study further the Word of Shinchonji. Not only that, well-known media companies in America even visited where the Chairman was staying, and a live broadcast interview that was originally planned for 5 minutes was extended into a 40-minute interview.

In particular, while believers in Los Angeles were passionately welcoming the Chairman, a large cloud appeared in the sky in the shape of a cross, allowing all who were at the scene to experience the work of the Holy Spirit with such strength. And just as the Chairman said, "the spirits of the 100,000 Shinchonji
members are with us," and the work of the Holy Spirit were with the prayers of Shinchonji members all over the world, as they were praying according to the timezone the Chairman was in, no matter how early or late it was in their time.

Graduation Speech

God’s voice telling me to go to Berlin
And there meeting the promised pastor

This is a confession of a member overseas who has graduated from Zion Church Center

 I am OO OOO from Congo, Africa. I became a Catholic devotee due to my parent’s influence since I was little, but later on I converted to Protestantism as I became an adult. After, in the city of Bremen, Germany, I would participate in Bible study meetings almost every day, and without a doubt, never missed a Sunday service. Despite all this, I cried and prayed to God day by day at the fact that I didn’t know what God’s will and righteousness was. 

 During a prayer, I received an answer telling me to leave Bremen. I was helpless, not knowing where to go, so I prayed desperately to God. And then, at last, I received another answer telling me to go to Berlin. Despite the many complications, I obeyed by moving to Berlin. However, I was again unable to hear God’s words. During service, I would go to the restroom and confine myself there until it ended. “God, I do not want to go to a church where there is no word. But since you sent me here, I cannot leave. Please, save me,” as I said with an empty heart, I desperately held onto praying.

Obeying God’s word by moving to Berlin from Bremen, Germany.  

 then one day, near the end of year 2010, I met a woman, who turned my life 180 degrees. The first time I met her, she asked me three questions. The first question was ‘Do you understand Mat 24:29,’ and I answered, “I don’t know.” The second question was ‘Do you want to know the answer,’ and the third question was, ‘Do you want to learn God’s word.’ As if I was drowning in water and caught a hold of a straw, I told her, “I really want to learn.”

 away, I started a one-on-one Bible study with the woman, which then did I discover God’s will in sending me to Berlin. I was extremely hungry for God’s word, so God showed compassion on me and bestowed a gift of grace upon me. In May 2011, I entered Zion Church Center and met a wonderful instructor, whom I’ve began to learn the word of Revelation from. 

 I was one to never catch a cold in his life, but as soon as I entered, I started to become very sick. I had doubts about making it through; however, with the help of the prayers of the instructor and member’s and the word that was food from the center, I was able to overcome the illness. I completed the Introductory Test that I worried about, and then my prayer request changed. ‘God, please help me to meet the promised pastor just once.” 

May 12, the unforgettable day I met the promised pastor in Berlin
But what is this? The promised pastor I have been longing to meet was coming to Europe! I couldn’t sleep! I wasn’t hungry even if I didn’t eat. I prayed with joy and waited eagerly until the day the promised pastor came. As if it was a coincidence, just 10 days before the Chairman Lee Man Hee’s arrival, I was able to give my first service at Shinchonji Church. The bright look Shinchonji family had on while greeting me was like that of an angel. 
May 12, 2012, the most precious day to me that will be remembered forever.

The Famous Lecturer of Revival, Who Could Cure Even Cancer, Follows the Word to Shinchonji

(This is a story sent by a member of John Tribe.)

At the age of 7, I started a life of faith and despite the persecution I received from my parents and mother-in-law along the way, I remained faithful. I married into a family who believed in Buddhism and raised four children. I am at the age of 43 with a husband who has become unconscious due to an accident. Then a year later, as I was praying at the OOO Praying Center, I heard a voice saying, “You are a servant of God.”

Then one day, a woman deacon I knew, carrying $500 in cash and a gold necklace in her hands, said,
“I came because I received your heart during a prayer.” I was going to OOO Church at the time, but I
decided to study Theology at OO University because the church didn’t allow woman to be ordained as a pastor.

I would study the Bible so hard that I slept no more than two hours a day, and everyday, I would give
service. I completed four years of high school and two years of college, a total of six years of studying. Even when I just graduated, it didn’t take long for me to establish a church in the city of Seoul.

Then one day, I saw a vision during a prayer at OOO Praying Center and since then, I received a gift of divine healing. When a revival service was held, there was a miracle where a cripple stood up and walked. Rumors spread and at once, the church became chaos. After that, I went to Cheong-ryangri OO Church as a revival pastor.

The rumor about the gift of divine healing spread like so fast that it caused a revival.
When I prayed for those suffering from cancer, blood was shed and they were completely cured.
Conscientiously, I didn’t accept payment from patients I treated and compensation from churches that
were under poor circumstances.

One day, as I went down from the podium and put my shoes on after finishing a revival service, suddenly, “God, did I teach according to the Bible? I don’t think I did. I’m not sure if I’m saving souls or killing them,” popped in my head. To be honest, I was a mute and a blind pastor. I was just carrying out my role in breathing air into rubber balloons, but that’s just the end of the balloon when they go flat. I was suddenly filled with the guiltiness of not providing proper food for the spirits of the congregation members.

Since then, a year has passed and a member, who was enjoyed my lectures, suggested that I join a Bible study. I was one who read the Bible at least 33 times, but because of the unexplainable stinging of my conscience and the need to know God more, I decided to do the study.

I started the Shinchonji Biblle study in the middle of preparing an essay for a Doctor’s Degree.
My instructor would always take things that were not from the Bible, so I had to write down each word; however, Shinchonji Zion Christian Center was a place that taught only according to the Bible.

The Book of Prophecy was something that could not be understood no matter how many times you read it, but I was overjoyed that they could explain it to me so I could understand easily.
‘Apostle Paul considered everything he had as garbage, so I must to the same. If I carried out a life of faith of a child before, from now on, I will carry out a life of faith as a mature believer.

It didn’t bother me that they were accused of being a cult. At first, what I had in mind was, “I will go back to my church with the words that I have learned and become a pastor that is best at lectures.’ However, as I continued to learn, I thought, ‘Whether I live or die, I must stay here’ and decided to study harder.

My instructor who has a Doctor’s Degree was famous throughout the nation. I asked him to explain to me what the 666 in Revelation 13 was, but then he answered, “It’s a human clone.” I would look everywhere for human clone in the Bible but could never find it.

From then on, I considered everything, such as the gift of divine
healing as garbage, and decided to put my trust only in the 66 book of the Bible.
I was wealthy when I was a pastor. I received many offerings and compensations, thus was financially abundant. However, I never received compensation while studying at Shinchonji.

However, I thought to myself that hardships such as these were the path of a true believer. During my
pastoral duties, I would fast as if I ate and worry too much that I was later on diagnosed with diabetes. I was even told that I had only 6 months to live. But after 6 months since the notification, my body became healthier. I had to get treatments 3 times a week, but instead, I would work harder for God. Even my daughter, who persecuted me for ‘falling into a cult,’ acknowledged that God had saved me.

My life now truly belongs to God.

It’s been 59 years since I believed in Jesus and 6 years since I started a life of faith at Shinchonji. 
I listened to Shinchonji’s words and thought, “How can such in-depth truth come out of here when we’re looking at the same Bible?’ I had the assurance that other churches did not have the word.
Members of the churches today offer all their fortune to their pastors even if it meant making a debt. There is no other place that is clean and pure like Shinchonji. To my fellow pastors, I would like to say, “Come, feel it, look at it, and see for yourself if it really is the cult that everyone says it is.”

This is the place where the word of truth, Revelation has been opened according to God’s will.
At this time when the word of Revelation has opened in 6,000 years, if you don’t know and understand it, it’s a one-way ticket to eternal hell. Those who’ve accused Shinchonji of being a cult are all sinners. Please, I ask you to come and not commit any more sin. This is the place of eternal heaven and life. The place of salvation, New Heaven and New Earth (Rev 21:1), Temple of the Tabernacle of Testimony (Rev 15:5) is Shinchonji.

Testimony Of Shinchonji

Goodbye!! I'm off to Heaven School~!!
(This was written by a husband, whose wife is a member of Shinchonji Church in Cheonju.)

It's a Sunday morning, and my wife is busy as usual. She gets breakfast ready and goes out into the garden, picking lettuces while humming to a song. What is it that makes her excited all the time? After I finish my breakfast, as if my wife was waiting for me to be done, she asks me, "Please drive me to the bus stop so I can go to Heaven School."

Since it took about 30 minutes to walk from our house to the bus stop, my wife moves more busily on days she goes to church. To be honest, I don't understand her. I scolded her saying, "Why take time to go all the way to Cheongju when you can just go to the Catholic Church right next to us?" My wife just smiles and retorts, “I am still a child, so I must go to Heaven School no matter how far it is." Our family has been going to Catholic Church since a long time ago. So, there was no way that I was going to be happy about my wife going to a church far away which I had no knowledge about. But what can I do when she persists on going. When I drive her to the bus stop so she can go to Heaven School, in a moment with a happy look on her face, she waves goodbye saying, "Goodbye. I’m off to Heaven School."

But where is this Heaven School? Is it called Heaven School because it's really in heaven? Then one day, I found out that my wife was going to a place called Shinchonji Church of Jesus. Some people came to the store early in the morning leaving a newspaper behind that said, "City of Truth, Beautiful Shinchonji." It was the church's newspaper. Without opening it up to take a look at it, I crumbled it up and threw it away in the trash can. My wife, who was watching from afar, jumped up surprised and rebuked me saying, "Why are you throwing this away? This is the advertising newspaper that our church members left!"

I have heard unpleasant rumors regarding Shinchonj around me, so I was uncomfortable knowing that my wife was going to such a place. My wife sensed my uneasiness, and thoroughly explained to me what place Shinchonji Church and who the Chairman Lee Man Hee exactly was. She also bragged saying that only those whom God loved could go to Shinchonji. My wife was actually one hotheaded woman. She became easily angered and yelled a lot as well. She was the type of person who didn't listen to other people’s words but was busy displaying her own.

However, my wife is now gentle and listens to other people. She has changed into a person with composure. Even for me, as her husband, I would have to admit that there was a big change to an extent where I would sometimes suspect her to be the right person.

The change in my wife definitely began when she started to go to Shinchonji. So, it seems right to me that my wife was going to Heaven School, as she greeted me every morning. I mean, look at the way it’s changed a person. Today as well, my wife is sitting at her desk with the Bible open, reviewing the things she's learned at Heaven School. Regardless, my wife is just as lovable and far more trustworthy than ever. **The place where God’s family, whose beauty is beyond that of angels, has gathered, we are the City of Truth, Beautiful Shinchonji.**

DO YOU KNOW SHINCHONJI EXACTLY?-6

Hi~~!

Today I recommand you to learn about  'Promised temple'

In keeping with his promise we are looking forward to a new heaven and a new earth, the home of righteousness. (2 Pt 3:13)

-Name of the church : Shinchonji Church of Jesus, Temple of the Tabernacle of the Testimony

-Shinchonji 

 Shinchonji is the abbreviation of new heaven and new earth, and it means the new tabernacle and the new saints (2 Pt 3:13; Mt 13:31-32; Rv 14:1-5, 15:2-5). Just as Moses built a tabernacle here on earth based on the pattern God had shown to him from above, the creation of Shinchonji here on earth today is also based on what the promised pastor had seen in the spiritual realm.  This is God’s kingdom, which is created here on earth as it is in heaven, and its name is Shinchonji. 

-Church of Jesus 

 Church of Jesus means that the lord of the temple of Shinchonji is Jesus as could be seen in its name.

-The Temple of the Tabernacle of the Testimony
 The Temple of the Tabernacle of the Testimony is the temple of those have seen, heard, and testify about Revelation.  It is also referring to the holy house where the saints worship God. In addition, the Temple of the Tabernacle of the Testimony is the promised temple where all nations must come to be healed and worship the Lord (Rv 15:4-5).

 Shinchonji is God’s kingdom, which God created so that his will would be done on earth today as it is in heaven. God has been working for the past six thousand years for this work of creation.  Shinchonji is also a holy temple where priests and people who will receive salvation through Jesus belong to.  In accordance to God’s will, Shinchonji Temple of the Tabernacle of the Testimony is testifying about the revelation and what it has seen and heard.  It is also working to heal all nations. 

-The twelve tribes of Shinchonji

 Then I heard the number of those who were sealed:
144,000 from all the tribes of Israel. (Rv 7:4)


 The kingdom of God which appeared at each era was the twelve tribes.
During the Old Testament times, Jacob was given the name “the one who overcomes,” that is, Israel, and became the father of Physical Israel’s twelve tribes. Jesus, who came to the land of Judah, also overcame the world (Jn 16:33; Mt 4; Lk 4) and created the twelve tribes of Spiritual Israel through the twelve disciples. The twelve tribes, which appeared in the Old Testament and in the First Coming, appear again at the Second Coming, which is the time of Revelation. 


 It is written in Rv 7 that at the time of the harvest, 144,000 people will be harvested and sealed with the word.  The place where the 144,000 are sealed is Mt. Zion of Rv 14, and the 144,000 who are sealed are referred to as the firstfruits (Jas 1:18).  This group of 144,000 are the twelve tribes created as a result of receiving God’s seal. 

 God’s new kingdom, Shinchonji, is created through this group of twelve tribes.  The twelve tribes of New Spiritual Israel created by God did not exist prior to today, and it is a new work of creation.  It is the only kingdom and temple of God in this world. 

 These twelve tribes are established using the names of the twelve tribes of the Old Testament and the names of the disciples. It is written that in the last days, if one is not a part of the twelve tribes, one cannot become a part of God’s kingdom and people. This is why the twelve tribes of Shinchonji are working to publicize about Shinchonji throughout the world and heal all nations at the same time.

DO YOU KNOW SHINCHONJI EXACTLY?-5

Hi!

Would you now know shinchonji exactly?

Today, I want to tell you about 'Two kinds of spiritual seeds'

The word regarding the seed in Mt 13:24-30 is the parable Jesus said what he had fulfilled in the First Coming and what he will fulfill in the Second Coming.
 
 -First, let us exam what was fulfilled in the First Coming.
God came to Jeremiah 2,600 years ago and said what He would fulfill in the future, the days are coming, when I will plant the kingdoms of Israel and Judah with the offspring of people and of animals (Jer 31:27).
After about 600 years from that time, God who prophesied to Jeremiah came to Jesus (Jn 1:32, Mt 3:16) and sowed the seeds (the offspring of people, good seeds) in the field (Israel) through Jesus, and also his enemy came and sowed weeds, the offspring of animals, in the same field.
This animal stands for the Pharisees and the teachers of the law, pastors.
Why are they animals? They are like animals, because they are ignorant pastors who don't know God, the Son of God, and the Word. (Pr 30:2-4, Is 56:10-12, Ma 23:33)

Jesus sowed good seeds, the seeds of God (Mt 13:24,27), the Pharisees and the teachers of the law sowed weeds, the seeds of devil (Mt 13:25,39).
What is the seed? The word of God is the seed of God (Lk 8:11), the word of devil is the seed of devil. The spirit sowed his seed through his pastor. The place where it is sewed is the mind of man in the church (Cor 3:9, 16).
 
It was the kingdoms of Israel and Judah (Jerusalem) the seeds were sowed at that time. Why did Jesus speak about the seed, the secrets of kingdom of heaven, in parables?
God prophesied in psalm that he would utter hidden things from of old in parables and send them to the next generation (Ps 78:2), after 1,000 years from that time, Jesus came and fulfilled the prophesy by telling the secrets of kingdom of heaven in parables (Mt 13:34-35).
 Another purpose that he spoke in parables is to hide the secrets from his enemy.

If you can't understand this parable, you can’t be forgiven and saved, and you will become an enemy. (Mt 13:1-13, Mk 4:10-13)
 It is the Second Coming, the time when those secrets are fulfilled, the secrets are no longer spoken figuratively (Jn 16:25, Cor 13-8-12).

There is no reason that the secrets are spoken in parable, because the entities of
prophesy appeared.

 -Next, let us exam the things in the future, in the Second Coming and the harvest.
The sown good seeds are to be the sons of the kingdom and the weeds are to be the sons of the evil one. (Mt 13:37-38)
The harvest is the end of the age, the harvesters are angels, and the sharp sickles in the angel’s hand are the saints who have the word of God. (Mt 13:37-40, Rv 14:14-20)

There are two kinds of people. One is the wheat-saints who have the seed of the word of God in their hearts. Another is the weed-converts who have the seed of the word of devil in their hearts.
First, the weeds are tied to be burned in the harvest.  (Mt 13:30)
Who ties them? Their pastors. Where are they tied? In their churches.
The tied ones are the sons of the devil who are born with the seed of the devil. (Mt 23:13), and those are to be thrown in the fire of hell (Mt 13:38-43).
And then, the wheat, the sons of God, are gathered into the barn of God, that is Mount Zion (Mt 13;30, Rv 14:1). Those are the people who are saved in the harvest.

As the word of Jesus, in the Second Coming, you have to believe the word of harvesters, the savers, and be harvested into the place where there is salvation, rather than listening to your pastor (Rv 14:1-4,14-16, Rv 1:3).

Shinchonji Tribe of Peter Graduation Ceremony,
the Graduation Ceremony of 2623 graduates at Gwangju, City of Light

On this day at the graduation ceremony, with the Chairman Man-Hee Lee, the Minister of Education of the General Assembly and 10,000 congregation members, there were many varieties of performances reproduced the magnificent and the beauty shown at the '6th World Peace Festival' on September held in Jamshil Olympic Stadium.

Chairman of the General Assembly of Shinchonji, Man-Hee Lee said "The word is life and also light, the people of City of Light must know the word of God" followed by "It is very disappointing, even if pastors minister, if they do not know the Bible, then they are living a life of faith outside the Bible."

"Can those who are not sealed be saved? Can they be saved because of their status as pastors or doctors? It is written that those who add or take away to and from the Book of Revelation, can not be saved. Yet when asked the question, 'are you sealed or did you not add or take away to and from the Book of Revelation?', the believers around the globe still answer that they are saved," pleaded Lee, the chairman of the General Assembly, to have faith in accordance with the Bible.

"Only those who belong to the twelves tribes of Mt. Zion, where twelve crops of fruits are yielded every month, are sealed by God," continued Lee. "Transcending the borders, religions, and ethnicities to heal all nations," said Lee and continued on to emphasize that "Instead of calling each other heresy, I hope we all become believers of faith who shine the truth to the world through love, obedience and the knowledge of the fulfillment of the prophecy."

At the recent graduation ceremony of the Tribe of Peter were diverse paintings and formative arts to help understand the Biblical harvest and the reason for such graduation ceremonies.
In the mean time, Shinchonji was falsely accused of encouraging runaway, divorce, and physical violence within families by MBC 'PD Note' in May and December of 2007. 


However, after the court of justice has put a thorough investigation, they delivered the final decision stating that "MBC PD Note has falsely accused Shinchonji without correct details" thus, requiring a correct and refutation release. Yet, after five years, the social discrimination against Shinchonji and the physical and the emotional damages, the false broadcast left still remain.

Nevertheless, Shinchonji shows rapid growth rate of 30~40 percent each year and the city of Gwangju and the pro vine of Jeollanamdo has issued more than 5000 graduates alone in this year. This is an undeniable fact that Shinchonji is the castle of truth which is anticipated to serve as the cornerstone for peace and the unification of the world.

DO YOU KNOW SHINCHONJI EXACTLY?-4

Hi~!!

Today I'll tell you about 'Identity of the Tree of Life and the Tree of Knowledge of good and evil'

-What are the identities of the tree of life and the tree of knowledge of good and evil?

The text: Gn.2:7~9

Has any pastors ever made clear the identities of these trees since they appeared in the Bible 6,000 years ago. God tells us to teach the next generations in parables, the hidden things since the creation, in Ps.78 and Jesus revealed it in parables at his first coming. He promised that he would tell it open when it comes time (Jn.16:25) and that the Counselor, the Spirit of truth, who will come in his name will guide us into the truth. (Jn.14:26, 15:26, 16:13)

At this day of Jesus’ Second Coming, we, Shinchonji, where there is the promised pastor whom the Spirit of truth is with, tells it open, not in parable, as is promised by Jesus. Now we will tell you about the trees made from the two kinds of seeds.

Firstly, let us draw two trees, one with the seed of life from God, and the other with the seed of death from the Satan, both having branches, fruits and birds.

God tells us that we will die if we eat the fruit from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil (Gn.2:17) and that we will live forever if we eat the fruit from the tree of life (Gn.3:22). What are the identities of these trees? It is written in Prov.3:18, the tree of life is not a plant but a man who gains the wisdom and it is also written at Isa.5:1~7, the vine is the Israeli.
There were two kinds of trees in the Garden of Eden, the tabernacle of Adam, and two kinds of seeds were sown in one field of Jesus (Mt.13:24~30, 37), which grows up to be big trees, and birds come and perch on the branches. (Mt.13:31~32)

These two trees began as seeds, and seeds are words. (Lk.8:11)  Seed of God is the word of life, but seed of Satan is the words of death. So, the seed of life is sown in the field of the heart and will grow to be the tree of life, but the seed of death sown in the field of the heart will grow up to be the tree of death. Tree of life will bear the fruit of life, but the tree of death will bear the fruit of death. It is the natural law of seed and tree.

Jesus who is the Kingdom of Heaven (Mt.13:24, 37) mentions himself as the true vine, the disciples as branch that will bear the fruits, (Jn.15:1~5) and the Spirit of God like a dove descended on him. (Mt.3:16, 13:32) King Nebuchadnezzar was a large tree with branches bearing fruits, which birds nested on and animals sheltered beneath. (Dan.4:20~22)
In his field, that means the Church of Christ, two kinds of seeds were sown, which would naturally grow up to two kinds of trees. The seed of God was sown by Jesus, and the seed of Satan was sown by the pastors of the law, teachers, and the Pharisees in those days. The good seed becomes the sons of the Kingdom of God and the weed becomes the sons of hell of Satan respectively as are sown. (Mt.13:38)

Of the two kinds of trees as mentioned above, one is Jesus who is the Kingdom of Heaven, and the other is King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon. Who do you think is the tree of life and the tree of knowledge of good and evil? Jesus said that he is the true vine (Jn.15:1) and called the teachers of law and Pharisees as snakes. (Mt.23:29, 33) As it is written at Dt.32, their wine is the venom of serpents and the deadly poison of cobras, the pastors of the law, teachers, and Pharisees are the vines of snakes. As Jesus mentions himself as the way, the truth, and the life (Jn.14:6), he is the true vine, the tree of life, while the pastors of Babylon these days in Rv.17, 18 are the trees of knowledge for good and evil of the demons and devils, as they let all the nations drink the maddening wine of their adulteries. If anyone eats the fruit from the tree of knowledge of good and evil, his spirit will die and he will become the son of Satan and go to hell.
In conclusion, the identities of the tree of life and the tree of knowledge of good and evil in the Garden of Eden are as below;

At the First Coming, Jesus was the tree of life, and the pastors of the Pharisees who were serpents were the tree of knowledge of good and evil.  At the Second Coming, the tree of life is the twelve tribes of Shinchonji Church of Christ (Rv.22:1~2), and the tree of knowledge of good and evil are the pastors like the beasts having seven heads and ten horns who invaded and destroyed Heaven the tabernacle of the chosen people in Rv.13, and fed them the wine of their adulteries(the venom of serpents) in Rv.17~18.  As there were two kinds of trees together in the Garden of Eden, there are trees made of two kinds of seeds together in the field of Jesus’ Church these day.  One is the tree of life born with the seed of God, while the other is the tree of knowledge of good and evil born with the seed of Satan. The trees are the pastor of God and the pastor of Satan respectively.

Controversial religious leader comes to Bakersfield

A controversial religious leader came to Bakersfield on Monday.

Korean Christian instructor Man Hee Lee was here to speak about the fulfillment of the Book of Revelation and to what some people call the most disputed content in the Bible about the end of time.

The ballroom at the Double Tree Hotel was filled with more than 100 followers and local church leaders to listen to Man Hee Lee testify on the Fulfillment of Revelation, something that often sparks controversy.

Man Hee Lee was born to a poor farming family of royal descent. He claims Jesus appeared to him and anointed him.

"He says that he has sent a angel, a messenger, to testify to the churches. And, that is what was promised. So to the churches, Jesus sent this individual here to testify to those very churches," said Man Hee Lee through an interpretor.

Lee claims he is the only person who saw and heard the events of Revelation and can testify to their meanings exactly according to the Bible. His words Monday peaked the interest of some local ministries to do further research.

"It's important that we study this in a lot more detail. This was just an overview, but we need to dissect it a little more and make sure it's spot on with the Word. I feel good about it, but I want to check it out a little bit deeper," said Lawrence Gonzales, Fresh Start Ministries.

Controversy seems to go hand in hand with many parts of the Bible and interpretations.

Another local minister says she can see why there would be controversy with Lee's instruction.

"He is very sure of his interpretation, and I think when there is someone who is very sure of their interpretation, there is always somebody else who interprets it differently," said Doris Dunham, Church of the Brethren.

Bakersfield wasn't Lee's first California stop on this trip. He spoke at the Crystal Cathedral in Garden Grove on Saturday, where many members were angry that he was appearing at their venue.

Lee also spoke in New York, Belgium and Germany.

His Tabernacle of the Testimony, headquartered in South Korea, has 140,000 members worldwide.

Lee says the Gospel of the Kingdom will be preached in the whole world as a testimony to all nations and then the end will come.

We spoke with local Catholic leaders who said they did not know Lee was speaking here on Monday.

DO YOU KNOW SHINCHONJI EXACTLY?-3

Today, I recommend you about 'The Reality of Today’s Christianity'

God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son (Jn 3:16), and his son, Jesus, gave his life for the world (sinners) (Mt 20:28; Mk 10:45). Jesus also said just as the Father loves the Son, the Son also loves the world and his disciples should love one another. This is the new command of the New Testament (Jn 13:34; 1Jn 4:7-11).

It’s not God who is ending the Christian world, but the leaders of the Christian world who brought this upon themselves. Within the Christian world there are ministers (priests, pastors, reverends)  who buy their ordainment and doctorate degrees in theology. This is what has ruined Christianity. 

Leaders who bought their doctorate degrees in theology or paid money to become pastors rule over believers with ecclesiastical authority, and therefore, their objective was power and money.   Theology scholars and ministers holding ecclesiastical authority live in luxurious houses, drive expensive cars, and live such extravagant lives. How could this be in accordance to the teachings and love of God and Jesus?

Believers work hard to serve at churches and even in financially difficult times,  they give tithes and thank offerings. So many pastors take the difficulties faced by the believers and their willingness to sacrifice themselves and serve the church for granted. Although they pretend to be good role models, the reality is they have not cleaned the church even once.

Meanwhile, there is no spiritual food for God’s people to eat and people are wasting away (Am 8:11-13; Mt 24:7). Because the pastors did not receive a proper education in theology, they do not have the word, which is the spiritual food. Since the pastors do not have the word, which is the source of life for faith, they only speak of earthly things.  They also misinterpret the Bible and say, “It is this.  It is that,” and feed believers with false teachings. 
This is the same as feeding poison to God’s people. This is the reality of today’s Christian world, and this is the end-time of Christianity.

God shed the light of love to the world (Jn 1:1-5; 1 Jn 1:5-7).
However, the pastors, who are steeped in sin, abuse the authority they are entrusted with and live in luxury while the believers go hungry spiritually and physically. God, who sees this, brings this generation to an end (Mt 24:3-14, 29-30; Rv 6:12-14) and says he will build a true world of faith through a pastor God acknowledges as true (Mt 24:45-46; Rv 12:5; Rv 7; Rv 10; Rv 21:7; Rv 22:16-17).

If pastors truly hope to be saved by believing in God and Jesus and receiving atonement of sins through Jesus’ blood (Mt 26:28; Rom 6:6-11), rather than the congregation members, the pastors first need to give all their possessions to the church.  After this, they need to receive the word of heaven, that is, spiritual food, and teach it to the congregation members and govern over the people.  There should not be any incidents where people are able to buy positions of authority in the church.   Furthermore, false doctorate degrees of theology purchased with money and certificates of ordainment should be turned in and people should repent and seek for salvation instead. 

In the Christian world, whosoever wishes to be a pastor should be tested on the Bible and only those who pass should be given the certificate to become a pastor and the authority to stand at the pulpit and govern the people.
If one does not have knowledge of the Bible, he should step down from the position of a pastor. If pastors, who do not have the qualifications, become pastors, the Christian world will become a world of famine and darkness where there is no word (Am 8:1; 1 Thes 5:1-6).
God’s people will not be able to receive salvation and pastors will be seen as traitors in front of God.

God, as well as God’s people, wish for true faith, true pastors, and true truth. But isn’t the Christian world today filled with lies and people seeking authority? If believers trust more in their pastor’s words than God’s words, how can God give them salvation? 

Let us repent. Now is the time for the Second Coming.  We must understand the time of the Second Coming is a time of confusion just like the time of Noah and Lot (Mt 24:37-39; Rv 11:8).
Wealth and authority cannot save a person (Mt 16:26). 
Only those who understand the promised words and abide by them will be able to attain salvation (Jn 14:23; Rv 1:3).

I hope you have deeper knowledge of God's word and deeper faith.

DO YOU KNOW SHINCHONJI EXACTLY?-2

Today I want to tell you about 'The spiritual creation of heaven and earth'

According to Gn 1:1, God created heaven and earth. Contrary to what most people think, God was not creating heaven and earth because they did not exist. Genesis is a promise regarding the re-creation of heaven and earth. What does this mean regarding the kind of heaven and earth God promised to create in Gn 1?

The heaven and earth obviously must exist before God fulfills his promise in Gn 1 to re-create heaven and earth. In the beginning, the earth is formless and empty (i.e., mixed), and heaven is filled with darkness. There is also darkness over the face of the waters (Gn 1:2). God is looking for a light in this darkness on the first day of creation. He finds that light and creates an expanse in the midst of the darkened waters on the second day of creation. On the third day, God gathers the waters to one place so dry land can appear (Gn 1:3-9). Heaven and earth were dark, formless, and empty on the first day, but the heaven God creates on the second day divides the waters under the expanse from the waters above it. On the third day, the earth produces grass and other seed-bearing plants as well as trees that produce fruit (Gn 1:1-13).

Again, God is promising to re-create heaven and earth. This is not referring to the heaven and earth from the first day, but the heaven and earth from the second and third days. According to Rv 21, the first heaven and first earth pass away and there is no longer any sea. This is why we see a new heaven and new earth being created in that passage. The first heaven and earth grow old and weak before passing away. They pave the way for the creation of the new heaven and earth.

Genesis 1 says that the earth was formless, empty, and dark before the first day of creation. Interestingly, Jer 4 says something very similar. This description of the earth is referring to the spiritual state of God’s chosen people after they have been destroyed by the enemies of God. According to 1 Thes 5, the sons of the evil one are referred to as sons of the night and of the darkness. The sons of God, on the other hand, are referred to as sons of the day and sons of the light because they have been created by the light of Jesus (Jn 8:12). In other words, the darkened heavens and formless earth on the first day of creation in Genesis are different from the heaven and earth created on the second and third days. Genesis is describing the destruction of the old heaven and earth and the creation of a new heaven and earth—the process of re-creation.

The disappearance of the darkened heaven and the formless earth on the first day is the same as the disappearance of sun, moon, and stars and the judgment of the earth that takes place in Rv 6. The re-creation of a new heaven and earth is the same as the re-creation of the 12 tribes of God’s kingdom that occurs in Rv 7. Genesis 1 is a figurative account of the process by which God re-creates his chosen people after they betray him and are destroyed. When the former heaven and earth betrayed God and lost their light, God hovered over the face of the waters to find a light in the world. At the time of the first coming, this light was Jesus (Jn 8:12; Jn 12:46). Since the family of Jacob was figuratively referred to as the sun, moon, and stars in heaven (Gn 37:9-11), Jesus and his twelve disciples were heaven and the earth was the flesh of their followers (Gn 2:7). Heaven represents God’s temple (Rv 13:6), and the earth represents its people.

The first day of creation (Gn 1:1-5) is a figurative description of the process of re-creation that is necessary because the first heaven and earth grew empty and dark. Revelation 13:3 says the whole world follows and worships the beast. Revelation 16 says God’s wrath is poured on the earth, which represents people’s flesh. Revelation 13:6 describes the tabernacle of God’s chosen people as heaven. Taken together, these passages indicate that the darkened heaven and empty earth are the tabernacle and people who betrayed God and the newly created heaven and earth are God’s new tabernacle and people.

Jesus proclaimed ancient truths (Gn 1) in parables (Ps 78:2; Mt 13:34-35). When the promised time comes, he reveals the true physical entities of the things he said in parables. Those who believe in the Bible will believe these words.

I hope you have deeper knowledge of God's word and deeper faith.

DO YOU KNOW SHINCHONJI EXACTLY?-1

Hi~!
I'm a believer in Shinchonji.
I want to tell you about Shinchonji.
Today i write down two basic things.

 First, Shinchonji means 'The New Heaven and New Earth' it was organized according to the Bible.(Rev 21:1-6) 
The objective of believer's faith is to attain heaven and eternity. But, people in this world didn't know that where is heaven. shinchonji church of jesus knows that exactly.

There are two kingdoms of heaven in the Bible. One is the spiritual kingdom located in heaven, and the other is the physical kingdom that is fulfilled here on earth. What does this mean?

  • The kingdom of heaven in the spiritual and physical worlds
The kingdom of heaven in Rev 4 and 21 is the kingdom in the spiritual world. Moses made the tabernacle according to the pattern he saw in heaven (Heb 8:5), and God came to dwell there (Ex 25:22). Jesus called himself the temple and the kingdom of heaven because God was dwelling with him (Mt 13:24, 37). The kingdom of heaven is like a bird perching in a tree that has grown from a small seed (Mt 13:31-32). The tabernacle of the chosen people, where the sun, moon, and stars can be found, can be called heaven (Rev 12). The sun, moon, and stars represent Israel (Ge 37:9-11). Thus, heaven is the tabernacle of the chosen people (i.e. the sun, moon, and stars), with whom the God of the spiritual heaven dwells (Rev 13:6). Jesus asked in the Lord’s Prayer for God’s will to be done on earth as it is heaven (Mt 6:10). He also said that the gathering place for believers on this earth is the kingdom of heaven (Mt 8:11). People who fail to believe the words of these promises misunderstand the Bible.


Next, Shinchonji believe that Jesus is the christ because he came and fulfilled everything that God promised through the old Testament prophets to fulfill in the future.(Jn 19:30)  So, Our founder of a religion is Jesus and We teach and follow Jesus' teaching and religious precepts.

The priests during the first coming called Jesus and his disciples ringleaders of sects and riots (Ac 24:5, 14). Christians at that time were cast out of their jobs, schools, homes, towns, and countries (Heb 10). Although Paul was responsible for the stoning of Stephen (Ac 7:54-8:3), he later met Jesus, stopped calling him a cult leader, and instead began to proclaim him to be the Christ (Ac 9).

Today, however, no one calls Jesus a cult leader anymore. Now, it is Shinchonji that everyone calls a cult. According to God and the Bible, however, Shinchonji is not a cult; it is the kingdom and priests of God (Rev 1:5-6, 5:9-10, 20:6, 21:1). Believers who truly know the Bible can certify that Shinchonji is the right way. 
We know that it is only by way of the cross that we can be atoned and saved from our sins.

I hope you have deeper knowledge of God's word and deeper faith.
