The correct understanding of the Bible and of Shinchonji

Religion and our life of faith

This message was written to promote correct knowledge of the Bible and a proper life of faith for all believers.

Religion is the will of God, and God is the source of religion. We must live spiritual lives by receiving God’s teachings, believing in them, and acting upon them. Because religion is the teaching of God, not of the world, it is superior to all other teachings. Those who are inspired by the holy spirit and who have ears to hear will hear the words of the spirit.

The meaning of religion

Religion is a way of life, a set of teachings that lead people to be faithful and dutiful to our Father in heaven. The source of true religion is God, because he created it. Those who claim that a mere man is the leader of a church are usually the ones who persecute new religious groups by calling them cults. In fact, these are the true heretics because they make false claims about the leader of the church. Jesus said that he was the way, and the truth, and the life, and that no one could come to the Father except through him (Jn 14:6). God’s son, Jesus, obeyed the Father to the point of death (Heb 5:8-9). By giving up his life with the shedding of his blood, Jesus atoned for the sins of the world that kept us separated from God and made us hostile toward him. Because our sins have been atoned, we are now able to unite with God as one (Eph 1:7; Eph 2:14-16). Jesus has become a faithful son to the Father and the savior of our lives. We must unite with Jesus and become faithful children of God just like him. We must help all of humanity to unite with our heavenly Father through the incredible gift of Jesus’ blood. We must also lead everyone who will listen to the Father and to Jesus by becoming the way, the truth, and the life ourselves.

In the world, it is the law that determines right from wrong. Criminals who break the law are punished according to the applicable laws. In the religious world, however, God is good and Satan is evil. Just like physical criminals in the world, Satan has been causing problems in the world of religion. In the end, however, Satan will be judged for his crimes according to the Bible, the law of heaven (Jn 12:48; Rv 20:12). God, who is good, commands us to forgive, love, and bless others (Mt 18). Satan, in contrast, curses, lies, persecutes, criticizes, judges, and murders others (Mt 5:10-11; Mt 7:1-5; Gal 4:29). If trees are recognized by their fruit (Mt 12:33; Lk 6:44), we can recognize peoples’ posts on the Internet by their content. It is easy to distinguish which of them are biblical and which are unrighteous lies. In addition, when wickedness is witnessed, anyone who fails to speak out to reveal it is wicked him- or herself.

Those who belong to God preach the word of the truth; those who belong to Satan pour out curses without knowing the word. Which side do you think is righteous from a biblical perspective? Just as there are laws in the world, there are laws in the kingdom of heaven (Heb 8:10; Jn 12:48). Shinchonji Church of Jesus, the 12 tribes of God’s kingdom and priests, are not considered a cult from God’s point of view. Having received the revealed word, we live our spiritual lives according to the Bible.

Questions for Protestantism:

If your actions, the titles of your denominations, and the content of your doctrines, commentaries, interpretations, and slanderous posts on the Internet are carefully examined, aren’t you the true heretics? Is the name of your denomination promised in the Bible? If so, where? Where in the Bible does it say that we should persecute, curse, and deceive others?

The New Testament promises the one who overcomes, and reveals that those who learn from him will also overcome (Rv 2-3; Rv 12; Rv 15). There is only one promised temple where all nations must come to worship (Rv 15:4-5), and there is only one place where the 12 tribes are gathered (Rv 7). The good grains are collected to only one place after being harvested (Rv 14). The churches of the world are not the place where these good grains are gathered; they are simply the fields where Jesus’ seed was sown. Only the wheat-like believers will be harvested from the churches in the world.

Abandoning a proper life of faith, a group from Satan has been trying to destroy Shinchonji by posting thousands of disparaging and defamatory messages on the Internet. The Korean National Assembly should make such verbal abuse illegal. An unimaginable number of lies about Shinchonji have been post on the Internet. Despite the fact that we hold to the truth and the revealed teaching from heaven, we in Shinchonji are the most intensely persecuted in the 6,000 years of biblical history. It is not the Christians who have proper faith that are persecuting us—it is the servants of Satan (i.e. the antichrists). Of course, those fail to act according to the Bible have always persecuted those who do, but now their actions have grown even more unreasonable.

Biased and distorted actions

All Christians are one in Christ (Rom 12:5). Anyone who is biased against others and persecutes them just because they belong to a different denomination promotes division among believers. There are several pastors performing conversion education to bring Christians from other churches into their own churches. How can they call this conversion education? Their explanation for performing this conversion education is nothing but a lie! The term conversion should be used when a person converts to Christianity from another religion, such as Buddhism. How can we call moving from one church to another conversion?

Some Christian pastors have been falsely proclaiming that Shinchonji is a cult in order to bring Shinchonji believers back to their own churches. By creating strife within families these pastors deceptively direct parents to assault and forcibly confine their own children. These crimes have created monumental family quarrels and have even caused several young people to abandon their homes. Although these pastors should be held responsible for all the consequences of their actions, they continue to persecute us in an attempt to lay the blame at our feet. The Korean media has aired several broadcasts biased against Shinchonji that included lies about these incidents. For whom do you think these broadcasts were created?

Please consider the reality of the religious world in Korea. If a man shaves his head and decides to live as a monk in a Buddhist temple, would you claim that he has run away from home and abandoned his parents? What about Catholic believers who, out of their longing to be with the Lord, leave their homes to live in a monastery or nunnery? Would you say that these people have also run away from home? There is a particular broadcasting company in Korea that has ignored the laws of the world as well as the laws of heaven. They have united with the conversion education pastors and aired a program full of lies about Shinchonji. Isn’t this a sin against this world and against the religion? Is this religious freedom? Unfortunately, that broadcasting company has unwittingly aided God’s enemy.

If you are a true believer, please consider what has been fulfilled with spiritual eyes and ears using the Bible as a guide. Judge for yourself whether it is true. Anything that goes against the law should cease to exist; only the true law should be allowed to exist in the world. Please compare the revealed word of Shinchonji to the biblical commentaries of worldly pastors. Those who compare these teachings and realize where the truth lies will attain salvation.

Just as the Jews labeled Jesus a heretic at the time of the first coming, the Christian Council of Korea (CCK) has been calling Shinchonji a cult today despite the fact that the establishment of Shinchonji is based on a correct understanding of Bible and its teachings. I’d like to ask the CCK a few questions. The CCK once announced via the Christian press that they were established by a few Presbyterian churches to serve the political aspirations of Mr. Kim, a former Korean politician. If this is truly the story of how the CCK was established, isn’t the CCK an organization of worldly politics, not of Christianity?

The modern Presbyterian Church traces it origin to the Presbyterianism of John Calvin, who designed the church to be governed by a group of elders or presbyters. Who founded this church? Was it Jesus? Aren’t these elders the leaders of the Presbyterian Church? The nation of Israel was destroyed because Solomon worshipped gentile gods just like Adam and Eve (1 Kgs 11). In the same way, during the Japanese colonization of Korea, the Presbyterian Church allowed its congregation members to bow down to the Japanese emperor prior to beginning worship. This incident caused rift within the Presbyterian Church; many people broke away claiming that there was no salvation in the Presbyterianism. Later, this group created a new denomination in Korea called “Goshin.” Do you think there is salvation in the Presbyterian Church, which allowed its people to bow down to a gentile god? We know that the Presbyterian Church was founded by John Calvin, who was a murderer. The Church of Jesus is different from the Presbyterian Church. The Church of Jesus teaches the prophecies of the Bible, the physical fulfillment of those prophecies, and faith in both. The most basic doctrine of Calvinism, on the other hand, is predestination. Which is a cult? Who do you think is the leader of each group? The leader of Shinchonji Church of Jesus is Jesus. The leaders of the Presbyterian Church, however, are apparently, according to the name of their denomination, the elders or presbyters.

Shinchonji, which was created according to the Bible, has been fulfilling the prophecies of the Bible. We in Shinchonji also believe in and act according to the physical fulfillment of the prophecies. In spite of this, the Presbyterian Church calls us a cult. Why? In what kind of Bible does the Presbyterian Church believe? If they believed in the same Bible, would they be persecuting us now? Is there anyone in the CCK who truly understands the Bible? The scriptures strongly state that anyone who adds to or takes away from the Bible will be cursed and banned from entering heaven (Rv 22:18-19). Is there even one person who truly understands the meaning of Revelation in the Presbyterian Church?

Despite the intense persecution poured out on us by the Presbyterian Church, we still refuse to yield. We stand firm because we know the Presbyterian Church does not base its faith in Jesus on the Bible. Jesus, too, refused to succumb to the Jews and unite with them in spite of their harsh persecution of him.

We in Shinchonji Church of Jesus have mastered the book of Revelation. The Jews, who used to be the chosen people of God, murdered the prophets, Jesus, and Jesus’ disciples as heretics (Mt 23:34-35). The same spirits that were working through the Jews at the time of the first coming are still working today. These evil spirits have gone so far as murdering a Shinchonji member out of biblical ignorance. They do not even realize that Shinchonji has been created according to the promises of the Bible. We in Shinchonji, however, will forgive their sins according to the will of God. We love you and bless you. We also pray for you that you will understand the word of promise. We pray that by believing in it you too will be born again and obtain salvation.

[Shinchonji-LeeManHee] The founder of a church, the Counselor, and holy spirits

– The New Heaven and New Earth

This site and all of its content has been written according to the Bible. Our purpose is to instruct all Christians in a deeper knowledge of God’s word and to lead them to a deeper faith.

The founder of a church, the Counselor, and holy spirits

The founder of a church

Whoever people claim is the founder of their church must also be the head of their church. Calling a church the Church of Jesus implies that Jesus is the founder and head of that particular church. Just as a doorplate reveals who lives in the house above which it hangs, a church’s or denomination’s name reveals the identity of its founder. Who, then, is the founder of the Presbyterian Church? The name “Presbyterian” comes from the word “presbyter” meaning “elder.” All the ecclesiastical authority in the Presbyterian Church is given to its elders so they can oversee its administration. The Presbyterian churches of Korea claim to be churches of Jesus (i.e. part of Christianity). In reality, however, the elders have seized authority over all general affairs and act as if they are the heads of the church. If Jesus is Lord over a church, then neither its pastors nor its elders can usurp that role. These people who have been appointing themselves as heads over their own denominations are the very people who are so skillfully persecuting members of other groups as heretics. Their words, however, are utter nonsense because no physical body can be Lord over the church.

Religion should comprise the teachings of spirits. The Church of Jesus is based on prophecies, their physical fulfillment, and faith in both. The Presbyterian Church, on the other hand, was founded on the doctrines of John Calvin, including his primary teaching on predestination. Who is the true cult: the Church of Jesus or the Presbyterian Church (i.e. the church of Calvin)? Which one holds the truth?

The Counselor

Where English Bibles use the term Counselor or Advocate, the Korean version uses the word pohyesa, which is written with three Chinese characters. These characters mean protect, grace, and teacher, respectively. Seen from this perspective, the Counselor is a teacher who protects others with grace. He teaches and protects those who learn from him with grace and truth. In Ps 2, God warns us that we must learn from the son. According to this word, many people listened to Jesus’ words and learned from him, referring to him as their rabbi. Apostle John also refers to Jesus as the Counselor, who spoke on behalf of God (1 Jn 2:1). Jesus spoke on behalf of God (Jn 8:28; Jn 17:8; Jn 17:14) and he taught us and protected us with grace after the holy spirit came to dwell in his flesh (Mt 3:16; Jn 1:32). All of these scriptures reveal that Jesus was the Counselor in the time of the first coming. It is indisputable. Jesus received the holy spirit of God and acted for believers as the Counselor. Before he left, however, Jesus promised that he would ask the Father to send us another Counselor (Jn 14:16; Jn 14:26).

In Rv 19, the spirit of the angel reveals Jesus’ work to John. Receiving what belonged to Jesus through the angel, Apostle John preaches Jesus’ words to believers (Rv 10). Aren’t these actions of Apostle John the same as the actions of Jesus in the first coming? Doesn’t Apostle John speak on behalf of Jesus just as Jesus spoke on behalf of God? Thus, the Counselor is not an individual spirit; it is a position or role that must be filled. The Counselor is the one who speaks on behalf of God or Jesus. The term “holy spirit” refers to a spirit that is holy, but the term “Counselor” refers to a person with a specific appointed task. Those who are ignorant of the Bible spread nonsense doctrines and deceit when they speak out ignorance saying that the holy spirit of God is same as the Counselor.

Holy spirits

The term holy spirit refers to a spirit that is holy. It is not restricted to the spirit of God himself, but encompasses all the holy angels (spirits) in heaven (Mk 8:38; Acts 8:26; Acts 8:29; 1 Cor 2:10; Rv 17:1-3; Rv 21:9-10).

The spirits in heaven all have different tasks (Rv 4). They are all spirits in heaven, but each one differs from the others in rank and role. The spirit of the Counselor is just one of the thousands upon thousands and ten thousand upon ten thousand spirits in heaven. Just as Jesus spoke on behalf of God (1 Jn 2:1) because he came in the name of God (Jn 5:43) at the time of the first coming, the Counselor speaks on behalf of Jesus because he comes in the name of Jesus at the time of the second coming (Jn 14:26).

If a person without the holy spirit receives the holy spirit, that person unites himself with the holy spirit (1 Cor 6:17). Those who persecute the one with the holy spirit for claiming to have received the holy spirit cannot have the holy spirit themselves. The actions of these persecutors only prove their own spiritual depravity (Jn 8; Gal 4:29). Jesus commanded his disciples to receive the holy spirit (Jn 20:22), and then the holy spirit descended upon them (Acts 2:1-4). Rom 8:9 says that those without the holy spirit do not belong to Christ. No one who knows this verse would dare to do anything that reveals the fact that they lack the holy spirit.

Conclusion

Without being able to distinguish truth from lies or orthodoxy from heresy, no one should pretend to have such a strong faith in God and Jesus or that they understand everything in the Bible. No one should deny the testimony of the truth by calling it heresy. No one should deny the fact that Jesus came in the name of God (Jn 5:43) and that John the Baptist came in the name of Elijah. Jesus united with God when God came to dwell within him (Jn 10:30; Jn 14; Jn 16). John the Baptist was Elijah in the sense that John came in the spirit of Elijah (Mt 11:10-14; Lk 1:13-17). Spirits use flesh (workers in the physical world) to carry out their tasks (1 Jn 4:1-6).

The scriptures testify that the spirit of truth comes in the name of Jesus, and that he carries out the role of the Counselor, who speaks on behalf of Jesus. The scriptures also state that the spirit of truth will be in you (a person) and will teach you everything (Jn 14:16-17; Jn 14:26). The spirit of truth appoints a physical body to speak and teach people on its behalf. Is it wrong, then, to say that the one with the task of speaking on behalf of Jesus has united himself with the spirit of truth? If you have not received the spirit of truth, you should just sit still and be quiet. Why are people persecuting the one with the holy spirit out of ignorance? Why are they not aware that their actions reveal the fact that they lack the holy spirit?

The prophecies of the Old Testament were fulfilled when God came to his son, Jesus (Hos 2:19-20; Isa 19:1, 20; Mt 3:16; Jn 1:32). No one could understand the prophecies in the Old Testament nor see their physical fulfillment until Jesus came and revealed them. In the same way, the prophecies of the New Testament can only be fulfilled and revealed when Jesus, who made the prophecies, comes along with the Counselor—the flesh (pastor) promised by Jesus. Again, it is impossible for anyone to understand the prophecies of the New Testament until they are revealed. It is, therefore, utter nonsense for anyone to act as if they understand and that they are the only orthodox church prior to the fulfillment of the prophecies.

Supplement:

Recently I read a copy of the magazine Christian Inside (2nd issue, published on July 14, 2008). I also read some statements from theologians and professors who work for the Christian Council of Korea. After reading these things I thought of a few questions I’d like to ask them.

Through this I want them to realize that it is the persecutors who call all newly established groups cults that are the true heretics. It is those who claim so loudly that they are they only orthodox group who are, themselves, the true heretics clinging to worn-out traditions.

1.      There is only one true God, and you call that God the “Holy Spirit.” If, as most people have always believed, God is the only one who can be referred to as the holy spirit, why are the seven spirits in Rev 4 referred to as the seven spirits of God? Why does it say in Jn 3 that the holy spirit will be given without limit? Why does it say in Acts 7 that Stephen was full of the holy spirit? If we say that angels are spirits and angels are holy, aren’t angels holy spirits?

2.      You wrote that Jesus was the Counselor, and that the other Counselor promised by Jesus refers to the holy spirit of God. I’d like to ask you about this point. Jesus, who was himself the Counselor, said he would ask the father to send us another Counselor. Because the father refers to God, it means God himself has to send us this other Counselor. How can both the one sending and the one being sent be the same (Jn 14:16-17; Jn 14:26)?

The passage in Jn 16:8-15 states that the Counselor will receive what belongs to Jesus and pass it on to believers. It also says that everything that belongs to the father also belongs to Jesus. Rev 1:1-3 summarizes all the chapters of Revelation and explains the route by which the revelation of Jesus is passed down: God to Jesus, Jesus to the angel, the angel to John, and John to the servants. This route of passage is explained in further detail in Rev 5-10. God gives his scroll to Jesus, Jesus gives it to the angel, and the angel gives it to John. After receiving the scroll from the angel, John preaches the word to many nations, peoples, languages, and kings. If this is the route by which the revelation of Jesus is passed down, how can the spirit of truth, which is the Counselor, also be God and Jesus?

We in Shinchonji cannot accept such heresies that go against true understanding of the Bible. Without even realizing that the Counselor refers to a role instead of a specific entity, many groups claim that the Counselor is the holy spirit of God. Because they base this claims on their own faulty arguments and standards they cannot be considered orthodox; these are the actions of heretics (Eze 13:1-3).

[Shinchonji-LeeManHee] Moses' covenant and Jesus' new covenant

The correct understanding of the Bible and of Shinchonji 

– The New Heaven and New Earth

This site and all of its content has been written according to the Bible. Our purpose is to instruct all Christians in a deeper knowledge of God’s word and to lead them to a deeper faith.

Moses' covenant and Jesus' new covenant

The covenants in the Bible were made between God and his people – between spirit and flesh (Ex 19:3-6). A covenant or promise can only be kept flawlessly when both parties to the covenant uphold their responsibilities. God made a covenant with Adam and Eve in Gen 2 commanding them not to eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. God created them and made a covenant with them, but Adam and Eve were cursed for breaking their covenant. Noah's world was put to an end in the time of Joshua because Ham and Canaan failed to keep their covenant with God. God then made a covenant with Abraham and his descendants (Gen 15; Gen 17:9) that would later be fulfilled through Moses and Joshua (Ex 12; Jos 1).

God made a covenant with Moses and his people (Ex 19:5-6), and later he made another covenant with Joshua in Shechem (Jos 24). All of Israel, however, broke their covenants with God by worshipping gentile idols during the reign of King Solomon. Because they were unfaithful, the Israelites were cursed and they became a possession of the gentiles (1Ki 11). In response to these constant failures on the part of his people, God promised something new –a new work. He promised to sow two kinds of seeds and make a new covenant (Jer 31). God fulfilled these prophecies when he sent his son Jesus into the world (Matt 1; Matt 13; Lk 22).

Prophecies announce future events far in advance, and the physical fulfillment of a prophecy is that prophecy becoming a reality. The Bible is made up of the Old and New Testaments; the Old Testament includes the old covenant and the New Testament includes the new covenant. God fulfilled his covenant with Abraham through Moses (Gen 15; Ex 12), and he fulfilled the promises he made with the Old Testament prophets through Jesus (Matt 3:16; Jn 1:32; Jn 19:30). The new covenant, which includes all the promises God made through Jesus, will be fulfilled by God and Jesus when they return to us (Rev 21:6).

Moses' covenant was centered around the law; Jesus' new covenant, on the other hand, is centered around faith (Jn 1:17; Rom 3:22-25; Gal 2:16). Moses' law (i.e. the old covenant) required physical obedience, but the new covenant of faith requires people to believe in the promises and their fulfillment. Those who were under Old Testament law refused to believe in the physical fulfillment of the Old Testament when it appeared. If those who claim to believe in the New Testament refuse to believe in its physical fulfillment, they simply reveal the futility of their faith. It is only by believing in the fulfillment that people can be acknowledged as having kept the covenant, whether it be the time of Moses (Ex 19:5-6) or the time of Jesus' second coming (Rev 1:3).

The old and new covenants are prophecies, which gave advance warning of future events. At the appointed time, the physical fulfillment of the prophecies appears, and the prophecies themselves act as evidence that confirm‍s their physical fulfillment. Thus, the prophecies were given so that we might believe in the physical fulfillment when it appears (Jn 14:29). The faith of those who claim to believe in the prophecies and refuse to believe their physical fulfillment is ultimately futile.

The New Testament records the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven in figurative language. This was done to prevent God’s enemies from knowing the mysteries of heaven (Mk 4:10-13). Just as the prophecies of the Old Testament became a sealed scroll to the pastors of that time (Isa 29:9-13), the figurative language in the New Testament becomes a sealed scroll to today’s pastors. God wrote the Old Testament law (Moses' law) on stone tablets (Ex 31:18) so that people could read them and obey. The objective of Jesus' new covenant, however, is different from that of Moses' law. By writing the new law of liberty on our hearts and putting it in our minds, we can become new a creation. The laws are no longer inscribed on physical stone tablets; they are inscribed on the tablets of our hearts. God has promised to become the God of those who keep his new covenant (Heb 8).

Thus, the new covenant we must keep includes the prophecies of the New Testament. Let us know their contents and keep them so that we can become the people of God's kingdom.

The correct understanding of the Bible and of Shinchonji 

– The New Heaven and New Earth

This site and all of its content has been written according to the Bible. Our purpose is to instruct all Christians in a deeper knowledge of God’s word and to lead them to a deeper faith.

The figurative meaning of beasts, dogs, and pigs

In Isa 56:9-11, God told beasts of the fields and forests to come and devour Israel’s mute dogs. These mute dogs symbolize pastors who, because they lack knowledge and understanding of the word – because they are spiritually blind – are not fulfilling their duties. Because they are incompetent, these pastors are symbolized by mute dogs that cannot protect God’s lambs from being devoured by wild beasts.

Let us learn more about the biblical meaning of dogs and pigs. In Mt 7:6, Jesus said, “Do not give what is holy to dogs or throw your pearls before pigs; otherwise they will trample them under their feet and turn around and tear you to pieces.”Phil 3:2 also warns us to beware of dogs. Revelation also tells us that dogs are not allowed to enter the holy city (Rev 22:15).

Jude described antichrists when he wrote that they failed to maintain their positions and abandoned their homes (Jude 1:6). He further said, “They have traveled down Cain’s path, and because of greed have abandoned themselves to Balaam’s error; hence, they will certainly perish in Korah’s rebellion,” (Jude 1:11). According to 1 Jn 3:12, Cain belonged to the evil one and murdered his brother. As for Balaam, Peter described people like Balaam accurately, stating, “For it would have been better for them never to have known the way of righteousness than, having known it, to turn back from the holy commandment that had been delivered to them. They are illustrations of this true proverb: ‘A dog returns to its own vomit,’ and ‘A sow, after washing herself, wallows in the mire,’” (2 Pe 2:21-22).

Considering these words of Jesus and his disciples, dogs and pigs in the Bible represent those who have turned their backs on the way of righteousness after having learned it. Once they have thrown away old understanding for the teachings of true righteousness from Jesus, they have returned to their former churches. The mire to which the sow returns and the vomit to which the dog returns both represent the lies of their former pastors. Dogs and pigs refer to pastors and their people who have betrayed God out of their lack of understanding.

Today, once people have escaped the filth of this fallen world through the truth of righteousness, if they are again entangled and succumb to it, they take the road of Cain and Balaam. Their actions are the actions of dogs and pigs: returning to their own vomit and returning to wallow in the mire after being cleansed.

Aren’t the people who have come and washed themselves in the truth at Shinchonji only to return to the corrupt world of Protestantism acting just like dogs and pigs? Do you think people that act like dogs and pigs can escape the judgment found in 2 Pe 2? If you fall into this category of betrayer, please reflect on what you have done.

If the dogs and pigs refer to pastors who have betrayed the truth, what do the beasts of the fields and forests symbolize? No matter how good an animal’s sense of hearing may be, they cannot understand human language. According to Pro 30:2-3, the beasts represent those who lack knowledge of the holy one and his words. Jesus said, “The hired hand, who is not a shepherd and does not own sheep, sees the wolf coming and abandons the sheep and runs away. So the wolf attacks the sheep and scatters them,” (Jn 10:12-13). Thus, beasts in the Bible symbolize gentile pastors who have no understanding of God or his word and who act to destroy God’s people.

As believers, how can we deny the Bible (Jn 10:35)? Anyone who refuses to believe the Bible simply cannot be considered a believer. In Jn 12:48, Jesus said, “The word I have spoken will judge him at the last day.” Revelation states, “The dead were judged by what was written in the books, according to their deeds,” (Rev 20:12b). If you are a true believer, you cannot deny this message. If you believe this message, then you must act upon it.

[Shinchonji-LeeManHee] Antichrists and destroyers with audio file

The correct understanding of the Bible and of Shinchonji 

– The New Heaven and New Earth

This site and all of its content has been written according to the Bible. Our purpose is to instruct all Christians in a deeper knowledge of God’s word and to lead them to a deeper faith.

Antichrists and destroyers

The following was written to promote proper knowledge of the word and a proper life of faith for all believers.

The Bible contains both prophecies and their fulfillment (Jn 14:29). The prophecies can be divided into three logical steps: betrayal, destruction, and salvation (2 Thess 2:1-3). How are antichrists different from destroyers?

Antichrists are those who did not keep their positions of authority, but abandoned their home (God). After having abandoned God, they have formed their own sects to oppose God and deceive God’s people just like Cain and Balaam (1 Jn 2:18-19; Jude 1:6, 11, 17-19; Matt 24:24-25).The destroyers, on the other hand, are gentiles that are allowed to destroy God’s chosen people after they have betrayed him (Matt 24; Rev 13). Who are the gentiles in the time of the New Testament? Even believers of Jesus can become gentiles who belong to the devil. The Pharisees and scribes, although they were Israelites and they believed in God, became gentiles and outsiders when they became a possession of the devil (Mk 4:11-12; Jn 8:33-44). If the leader of a denomination is symbolized by a king, his denomination can be considered a gentile nation if God’s people do not belong there.

The Bible describes the battle between God and the devil (Eph 6:10-12), but each side uses people to fight against the other (Rev 12;1 Jn 4:1-6). There were antichrists working even at the time of Jesus’ first coming. There were people who abandoned their faith and made their own sects to deceive other believers while the apostles were preaching the gospel. Today, too, many antichrists have appeared according to prophecy (Matt 24). Even though their appearance has fulfilled the prophecies of the Bible, they will still be subject to God’s punishment. Lusting away with greed, many people have left us (James 1:15) after studying the word at Shinchonji. Out of their desire to grow higher than their Lord, they have betrayed the word and have created their own sects to deceive other believers. All believers who hope for heaven and salvation must be aware of the true identity of these antichrists who have appeared in this generation according to the Bible. Those who are able to discern the true identity of the antichrists are true believers who obey the word. Discerning the identity of the antichrists also proves that you have understood the Bible.

Those antichrists – the ones who did not keep their positions of authority, but abandoned their own home (Shinchonji), the ones who have created sects to oppose and deceive God’s people (Jude 1:6,11,17) – they have been conducting educational seminars in every Korean Christian denomination. They have been slandering Shinchonji. They are not carrying out God’s commands to forgive, love, and bless others. Instead they are pouring out words of criticism, judgment, persecution, and curses in which the devil will surely take pleasure (Matt 7; Rom 3:13-15). These slanderous words are the wine of adultery (Rev 17), the seeds of the devil (the weeds), and the fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. When people hear and believe these disparaging words from the antichrists, what kind of seeds are sown into their hearts? Whose children do you think they will become? The answers can be found in Matt 13. I pray that everyone will understand and obey Jesus’ words in Matt 13.

According to the commands of the devil, not of God, the antichrists are posting thousands of lies, persecutory words, and curses against Shinchonji on the Internet. Believing those insults is believing the words of the serpent, just like Eve. Believing those words is being deceived; it is eating the fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil (Ge 3).

At this time of the end of the age, there is no orthodoxy, no salvation, and no kingdom of God on Earth until the book of Revelation is fulfilled. Only when the one who overcomes appears and creates the 12 tribes of the new kingdom, can God’s kingdom and salvation come to Earth (Rev 12:5-10; Rev 7). It is only through the one who overcomes that people can become orthodox, receive salvation, and go to heaven. It is only through the one who overcomes that people will find heaven and eternal life, and that people can come to God and Jesus (Rev 3:12, 21;Rev 21:1-7). 

Those who are persecuting Shinchonji are God’s enemies who deceive God’s people. Instead of finding the salvation they expect, they will receive only judgment (Rev 20:12-15). Only in Shinchonji can people learn the truth about Revelation and its physical fulfillment. Please judge carefully for yourself whether the posts of Shinchonji members or the posts of the persecutors are biblical and righteous. I pray that people will have eyes to see and righteous hearts to distinguish what is right from what is wrong (Lk 6:27-28).
