[Shinchonji God's Word] The True Path and Teacher of Faith


Where is the true path to faith, and who is the true teacher of faith?

There is only one God, one Bible, one hope, and one place to go. The world, however, has ripped apart one religion into hundreds and thousands of different paths, and there are now hundreds of thousands of different denominations and pastors. In the midst of all this, where must one go, and whose commands must one follow in order to find the true path and the true teacher of faith? No matter which direction one looks, it is dark, formless and empty. There is not one person who knows the meaning of the Bible or knows the true God. If there is only one destination that God has chosen in the Bible, then isn’t every other place a fake, a cult, and an organization based on man’s own thinking and will?
 
The path to heaven that God has shown us is the Holy Scriptures, and the true teacher that we must follow is also the Holy Scriptures. This teacher and this path are the only true ones. How can one be called a believer if he does not follow this teacher and path but instead follows a flesh and what the flesh says? The lives that the flesh (man) leads result in straying far from the true word and teacher (i.e. the word) and in making their own paths onto which they lead others. Then they claim that their teachings are orthodox. In a world like this, would the laws made by these self-proclaimed Gods allow the revelation, that is, the true path of God, to be testified (2 Thes 2:4, 9-12)? Jesus said that no one knows the Father except the Son and those to whom the Son chooses to reveal him, and that knowing God is eternal life (Mt 11:27; Jn 17:3). The world today has met the promised era of harvest (the end of the age) (Mt 13:39-40), but as the revelation and the work of the Holy Spirit has been stopped (in the world of believers), no one knows this. This is why each church practices their faith out of habit and their own thinking. It has become night where there is no light of truth (Jn 9:4; Lk 18:8; 1 Thes 5:1-3). The spiritual sun, moon and stars have darkened and fallen from the sky (Rv 6:12-14; Mt 24:29), and the life of faith that started in the Spirit has returned to the flesh (Gal 3:3).
 
After 2,000 years of night since Jesus gave his promise, that promise is finally fulfilled as prophesied. Just as how the promised revelation came to Apostle Paul (Gal 1:11-12), how it came to Apostle John (Rv 1:1-3), and how it came to Jesus at the First Coming (Mt 11:27), the promised revelation has come to us in this night as the true light. This revelation is passed on from God’s hand to Jesus (Rv 5:1-7), from Jesus’ hand to the angel (Rv 10:1-2), from the angel’s hand to the promised pastor, the one who overcomes (Rv 10:8-11), and is finally passed on from the promised pastor to the promised servants, the 144,000 of the twelve tribes, and to the great multitude in white robes, as life and the light (Rv 1:1-2; 10:1-11). This is the long-awaited rain in the drought. This is the promised word of God, but will one believe it? I ask this to those who have let go of God and his word and instead are believing and following the flesh of man (pastor).
This is the final and last revelation, and without believing this, there is no salvation. This revelation has come to Shinchonji Church of Jesus today. I advise you to come out of the darkness, into the light, believe, and be saved (1 Thes 5:1-9).

[Shinchonji Word] Are Jesus and Shinchonji Heretics ?


Two thousand years ago the Jews labeled Jesus as a heretic. Today the pastors in South Korea are labeling Shinchonji a heresy. They are labeling the truth as heresy, and calling lies orthodox.
 
Whose testimony is this? This is the testimony of the devil. From the eyes of the devil, who is himself a heretic, Shinchonji appears to be a heresy. All the spirits of the devil, who were once gathered against Jesus at the first coming, are now being gathered in South Korea (Rv 16:13-16). This is why Shinchonji is being labeled as a heresy, persecuted, insulted, and cursed by the devil.
 
At this time, many people in this world appear to know about Shinchonji, and are all aware of people calling Shinchonji a heresy and a cult. Let me ask them then, what is their proof in saying that Shinchonji is a heresy or cult? Foolish pastors of the devil, please answer me!
 
Jesus has granted all the blessings promised in Rv 2 and Rv 3 to Shinchonji, which is receiving the most intense persecution of any organization at this time, just as Jesus received persecution during his first coming. The fact is no one on earth can attain salvation unless he receives all of the promised blessings within Revelation 2 & 3. These words are not being spoken from a mere man, but it is Jesus’ words of promise.
 
We in Shinchonji, are helping people who have not yet been harvested to in fact, be harvested (Rv 14:14-16). We help people who have not been sealed to be sealed. We also lead those who have not entered into the 12 tribes of God’s new kingdom, to enter into the 12 tribes. Furthermore, we guide people who have not received the revealed word (Rv 10) to receive it. We aid those who haven’t eaten the hidden manna and the fruit of life in eating them both.
 
We teach the uninformed to know about the revealed word, the food of eternal life, and to also discern (or know about) Satan’s wine of adulteries, which has led the whole world astray. We direct those who are not God’s people to become God’s people. We make known to the uninformed, the three mysteries, three plagues, and the three entities appearing in Revelation-the betrayers, destroyers, and saviors. We help those who have added and subtracted from Revelation to not add and subtract from it. In addition to all this, we in Shinchonji also make it known to the people, whom God, heaven, and Jesus have promised to come to.
 
I pray that everyone knows the truth and believes in it correctly, and in doing so, they too become the people of heaven in God’s kingdom, the City of Truth, where righteousness, justice and the virtuous kings are found.

Shinchonji - The difference between the teachings of men and the revelation

The difference between the teachings of men and the revelation

 

1. Old Testament

Main Scriptures: Is 29:9-14; Hb 2:2-3; Ez 3:1-1

Isaiah 29 mentions a vision that is nothing but words sealed in a scroll because no one understands its content. It says the prophets and seers cannot see because they are blind and their heads are covered. In such a state, their teachings are merely rules taught by men. This is why God said, "These people come near to me with their mouth and honor me with their lips, but their hearts are far from me. Their worship of me is made up only of rules taught by men. Therefore once more I will astound these people with wonder upon wonder," (Is 29:13-14).
This prophecy of Isaiah was fulfilled at the time of Jesus' first coming (Mt 15). At the appointed time promised in Hb 2:2-3, the vision (revelation) was opened and given to Jesus so he could preach it to God's people and astound them with wonder upon wonder (Mt 15). This was when Jesus said, "No one knows the Father except the Son and those to whom the Son chooses to reveal him," (Mt 11:27). In addition, Jn 17:3 says that knowing the only true God is eternal life. Doesn't this mean that people who do not know do not have eternal life?
Since Jesus was told to speak the revelation he received from God (Ez 3:1-11), Jesus wants everyone to receive the revelation through him. The revelation from Jesus is the testimony about the physical fulfillment according to the promises God made in the sealed scroll of the Old Testament. The Old Testament prophecies figuratively pointed toward this physical fulfillment (Jn 14:29)
Since most of the Jews living at the time of the fulfillment were following blind pastors (Mt 15:14) who could not see the physical fulfillment, most people could not believe in the revealed physical fulfillment testified by Jesus. They called Jesus a cult leader because his revealed teachings were different from their teachings of men.
This article is not really about the Old Testament prophecies and the revelation of Jesus at the time of the first coming. The revelation of the Old Testament was discussed to introduce and proclaim the revelation of the New Testament.

2. New Testament

Main Scriptures: Rv 10; Rv 1:1-8; Rv 22:18-19

Roughly 2,000 years ago, the revelation Apostle John saw and recorded was a revelation in vision—a prophesy to be fulfilled in the future. When the appointed time arrives, what was once only a revelation by vision becomes a revelation by physical fulfillment—a physical reality that matches the original vision. When the prophecies are fulfilled, a pastor promised in the New Testament who is like Apostle John receives the scroll of revelation and eats it according to Rv 10. This new Apostle John obeys a command from Jesus by testifying the word he has received and the things he has seen to Jesus' servants. The words he testifies are the words of the scroll he ate and the physical fulfillment of the entire book of Revelation he witnessed. At this time, no one knows God, Jesus, the kingdom of heaven, or the physical fulfillment of Revelation except those who have received the revelation from the new Apostle John.
People who claim to know via another route and people who testify about anything else are planting weeds and feeding people the wine of the adultery. It is a sin to claim to understand before Jesus opens the sealed scroll in Rv 5 and fulfills it. It would mean God is a liar because Rv 5:3 says that no one in heaven or on earth or under the earth knows content of the sealed scroll.
The world is full of false pastors who conjure up lies in an attempt to inflate and demonstrate their own righteousness instead of believing in the truth. Anyone who believes and follows these pastors will be cursed. Some of these false pastors have claimed the great prostitute in Revelation represents the pope, the beast with ten horns represent ten Asian nations, the dragon is the Soviet Union, the two hundred million mounted troops of Satan represent China, and the wars depicted in Revelation are actual physical wars. They have planted these lies in the hearts of their congregation members, but none of them are true.
The truth is that Rv 6 is about the judgment of the chosen people who betrayed in Rv 2-3. Revelation 16 and 18 are about pouring out God's wrath on the betrayers and destroyers in Rv 13. The wars of Rv 13 and Rv 12 are wars between the congregation members of the tabernacle of heaven and the pastors of the dragon; they are not like the physical wars of the world. These are spiritual wars fought with the blood of Jesus and the word of testimony (Rv 12:11).
The revelation the new Apostle John receives in Rv 10 is a letter from God in heaven. It is the hidden manna, the bread of eternal life. Will there be salvation for people who ignore this truth and call this testimony and the group that delivers it a cult? Isn't it just like what the Jews did to Jesus at the time of the first coming?
Since the new Apostle John has received the revelation of the New Testament from Jesus today, people who receive the revelation from him will understand the true meaning of the prophecies of Revelation and their physical fulfillment. They will recognize and join the 12 tribes of New Spiritual Israel and they will attain salvation. This is how we can keep the new covenant promised by God and obey his will to attain salvation.

Animosity towards the truth of Shinchonji

If you heard that the movie you had been waiting for had just been released at the cinema, you would probably make it a priority to go and book your tickets to watch it as soon as possible…

What about if you heard that your best friend was about to return, wouldn’t you ask him or her about flight details and travel agendas? And wouldn’t you take meticulous notes and memorize the facts related to the arrival?

Yet, why is it that when there is a clear testimony about the fulfillment of Revelation, Christians are the first to cry “cult” and the slowest to react? It is almost as if people do not want Revelation to be fulfilled, or like they do not want Jesus to return unless it’s on their own terms, at the time they view as realistic. This is not the correct attitude to have towards God’s word. Who are we to place our narrow-minded, human thoughts on God’s master plan?

The fact that there are so many options to believe in regarding the second coming clearly shows us how misguided we are. Jesus will only be returning once, and he will come in the order and manner God prophesied in the Bible. There is only one word, one God, one prophecy and one plan… Why do we, therefore, have so many options? Shinchonji’s teachings are clear and in perfect accordance with the Bible. Before one can judge one needs to have studied everything, verified the studies by testing the scriptures and combined knowledge with the faith that the Bible asks of us.  We study and test the words we hear against scripture so that we will not be misguided by the numerous options available to Christians today. It’s these multiple interpretations that leave Christians ignorant about Jesus’ return, and because of how Christians have turned God’s word into whatever is suitable and comforting to them that there is so much animosity toward the explanation of the prophecies, and the one who is testifying them. Wouldn’t it be much better to have a heart that is so eager for the return of Jesus, our Messiah? It would be more pleasing to Jesus for us to be those who are eager for the invitation to the wedding banquet of the Lamb, which happens at his return (Mt 22:1-5).

If you think you are prepared for the second coming, ask yourself these questions. Can you list seven prophecies about events that are supposed to happen prior to Jesus’ return? Can you list them in the order they will be fulfilled according to scriptures? Can you say with assured-ness as to which prophecies have already happened and are yet to happen? Wouldn’t it be nice to know? Wouldn’t it be important to know, so that we can obey Jesus’ command to be “always on the watch, and pray that you may be able to escape all that is about to happen, and that you may be able to stand before the Son of Man” (Lk 21:36).

The lackadaisical attitude about Jesus’ return is something Jesus even warned us about (Luke 18:8). God wished for people to recognize Jesus at the first coming, and Jesus wishes for us to recognize his promised pastor today! It is urgent, and it is more important than everything else to understand the times in which we are living. Being fooled into a relaxed attitude towards the second coming is the work of the maddening wine of adulteries in Revelation 18:1-3. “Drunkenness, on this wine has dulled the senses of believers. It is only the work of Satan that does not want people to be saved. Instead he knows as long as he can keep everyone fooled they will struggle to accept truth and be blinded by all the comforting options he created as “alternatives” – which are really opposing  God’s truth.  Satan will kill, steal, and destroy the spirits of believers (Jn 10:10). This is the work of deception and every kind of evil that deceives others because they refused to love the truth and so be saved (2 Thes 2:9-10).

Did you know that a large percentage of Shinchonji members were introduced to Shinchonji by their own family members who wanted them to hear this word of life? Another large percentage was introduced by close friends.  What does that prove? We want the people we love to hear the truth, as the word of God is explained. Clear as crystal.

 
If you have been asked by a friend or family member to do the studies with Shinchonji, why not try at least a few studies, before turning your back on it? Have faith that God’s truth and light will guide you… pray for him to lead you. It is not everyday that someone claims to have received the complete explanation of Revelation. If you don’t have the complete understanding of Revelation, which is about the coming of our Lord Jesus, and if you are hearing about someone who does, then wouldn’t it be the rational thing to do to make effort to at least listen and check it out? Perhaps you even want o make a list of logical question that the Bible tells us someone who has received the explanation should be able to answer. Ask anyone you see as fit to answer and then ask someone in Shinchonji. Compare the answers and the sources of those answers. Mr. Man Hee Lee has asked repeatedly for people to listen and judge his words as true or false. Whether people listen or fail to listen is up to the condition of their spirit, and for each person to decide on their own. But he has asked on numerous occasions for those who disagree to have an open and public discussion with him about why they oppose his testimony… never once has anyone taken up his offer.

We are not encouraged to believe blindly, but we are commanded by 1 John 4:1 to test if the words a person speaks is explaining according to the word or not. The burden of proof is upon Shinchonji, and if you would like to take this challenge, then try contacting Shinchonji via this website, and set up a time to have a conversation with someone from Shinchonji.  Just like one Shinchonji member said to his family, “It is worth the effort to understand the word and receive life.”
