Our life of faith in Shincheonji

Our life of faith in Shincheonji
 
 
Main reference: 1 Cor 3:16-17
 
 
 
 
Shincheonji is not something of the old, but it is something new. It is the kingdom of God which He newly created after destroying what was old and corrupt. This is fulfilled at the time of Revelation through the Lord’s Second Coming. This is the new people of heaven of the new kingdom, the people who are harvested from the corrupt churches as wheat, born of the righteous seed of God.
 
Those who became corrupt in their life of faith are the outsiders. They are mere gentiles who have no part with God; They are sinners just like Adam. Their worship is offered to demons, not to God. How can the children of God have a relationship with demons? We cannot drink the cup of the Lord and the cup of demons too, and we cannot have a part in both the Lord’s table and the table of demons (1 Co 10:21).
 
The coming of the end of the age of the believers is caused by their corruption. The Lord’s return comes so that the true believers can be delivered and saved from corruption. Satan controls every corrupt church (Mt 24, Rv 1-22), and God’s people, who are held captive, can cross over from death to life as they understand the word preached to them and come before the Lord (refer to Jn 5:24-25).
 
Look at Rv 2 and Rv 3. God and His Word are not in the kingdom that became the kingdom of demons due to its corruption. It is only a place full of money, fame, and authority. How can anyone say that he is not aware of this?
[2 Cor 6:14-18] Do not be yoked together with unbelievers [if you believe in God and his word]. For what do righteousness and wickedness have in common? Or what fellowship can light have with darkness? *What harmony is there between Christ and Belial? What does a believer have in common with an unbeliever? *What agreement is there between the temple of God and idols? For we are the temple of the living God. As God has said: “I will live with them and walk among them, and I will be their God, and they will be my people,” *“Therefore come out from them and be separate, says the Lord. Touch no unclean thing, and I will receive you.” *“I will be a Father to you, and you will be my sons and daughters, says the Lord Almighty.”
This is the reality of Christianity at the time of the Lord’s second coming.
 
Whoever denies this denies Jesus and his word, and does not believe in Jesus and his word. This is the end of Christianity, and the Christian world became the kingdom of demons, Babylon, due to its corruption. Jesus’ words written in Mt 7, “By their fruit [actions] you will recognize them,” also apply to today’s time.
 
Because today’s Christian world does not have the Word, the spirit of God is not there. People love money and authority and make up numerous lies as if they were manufactured from lie factories. Corruption and curses are preval‍ent, and people are busy persecuting others just like the priests and the elders in the past. The reason for such actions is that they have become the people of Satan.
 
Their actions are bees’ sting, lobsters’ pinch, and vipers’ poison (refer to Prv 23:32). Pastors at the First Coming gathered and plotted to persecute and kill Jesus who fulfilled the Old Testament and testified to it. Likewise, pastors today are trying to kill Shinchonji that is fulfilling the New Testament and testifying to its reality as seen and heard. These pastors are obsessed with what they are doing, and it seems like they inherited the same traditions from the persecuting pastors at the First Coming. Will you say you are not aware of this, even with seeing this reality?
If the congregation members of Shinchonji and the pastors of the world took the same 100-question test regarding the Bible, the difference of their scores would be like heaven and earth. Would they still be able to continue to say with their lips that Shinchonji is heresy? If they are confident, they must participate in an open discussion about the Bible and take the test on the Bible, and they must compare their abilities to the abilities of the members of Shinchonji, instead of insulting Shinchonji.
 
Life of faith in Shcinhonji is faith based on the highest truth of humanity that is given through the Spirit of truth, the Counselor, according to the promise of the Bible (refer to Jn 16:13-14). People of Shinchonji are children of God born of God’s seed of the word, and they are the word in flesh and the walking Bible. Just as God and His Son, Jesus, are both the word (refer to Jn 1:1-4; 1 Jn 1:1-2), the members of Shichonji born of that word are also the word. The one who receives the word is God’s offspring, and he is a god whom God is with (refer to Jn 10:34-35; Acts 17:29).
The churches of the world once dwelled in heaven just like the sun, moon, and stars, and they were people who once shined their light. However, as the end of the age came, they became dark and fell to the earth, becoming a dark night (spiritually). They became the sons and the children of the night and of darkness. We in Shinchonji, by contrast, received the light of life and became the sons of the day and of the light. The churches of the world came to their end, and they now dwell in night and darkness where the word, the light, is absent. All nations fell because of the wine of adulteries, which refers to the doctrine of Satan. The scripture testifies that they married demons (refer to Rv 18:23), but we in Shinchonji have become the new creation born again with God’s seed. We give all the thanks and glory to the Lord God as His new creation (refer to Rv 7; Rv 14; Rv 19; Rv 21; Rv 12:10-11).
 
People’s dried hearts and spirits, which suffered from spiritual drought, are receiving showers of blessings—the new word of Shinchonji given by the holy spirit of truth. They are dancing for God and are offering glory to him. If any believer refuses to carry out a beautiful life of faith, and refuses the beautiful Shinchonji and the City of Truth, his reason for refusal is because he became Satan’s family. Whoever does not believe will receive destruction the world of Adam did, and whoever believes will become the person of heaven, the family of God, who is born from God.
 
Amen! Hallelujah! Thank you.

4. Someday, it seems like synthesis of life and people living for a long time without illnesses might be possible. If scientific development continues, wouldn’t the existence of God be denied?


Someday, synthesis of life and people living a long time without illnesses is possible. What you have said is correct. However, it is not through science. I do not think just because science develops, it will be able to analyze the two kinds of gods. Gods can only be known through gods. Also, since life spans were shortened due to sin (within biblical history), when sin is decreased and disappears, people will be able to live longer. The only way to resolve the problem of sin is the blood of Jesus (a righteous man). This is when God could reunite with men.
 
 
 

Elementary teachings and maturity

Elementary teachings and maturity
 
 
  
Main references: Heb 6 and 1 Cor 13
 
What (where) are the elementary teachings? What (where) is maturity?
Teachings refer to God’s word. The elementary teachings refer to the Mosaic Law, the fulfillment of the Old Testament during Jesus’ first coming, and the figurative prophecies.
 
The scripture records, “Let us leave the elementary teachings about Christ and go on to maturity, not laying again the foundation of repentance from acts that lead to death, and of faith in God, instruction about baptisms, the laying on of hands, the resurrection of the dead, and eternal judgment” (Heb 6:1-2). The scripture also says, “For we know in part and we prophecy in part, but when perfection comes, the imperfect disappears. When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I put childish ways behind me. Now we see but a poor reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known” (1 Cor 13:9-12).
 
Our hope as believers is to go to heaven and God. The only path to go to heaven and God is to go through Jesus, who is way, truth, and life (Jn 14:6). Hosea records that God desires acknowledgment of God rather than sacrifice or burnt offerings (Hos 6:6). Jesus also said, no one knows the father except those who receive the revelation (Mt 11:27). Furthermore, God spoke about how His people are destroyed from a lack of knowledge (Hos 4:6).
 
What we must believe in is the New Testament, more than the Old Testament. The Old Testament already passed away, but the New Testament is coming, and as a matter of fact, it is being fulfilled today. One of the reasons why the Physical Israelites did not believe, even though the Old Testament was fulfilled, was because they only knew and kept the Mosaic Law. They believed the law but they rejected the faith that should be revealed. The law, however, was a tutor which was put in charge to lead saints to Christ.
 
What we must believe is the prophecy and its fulfillment at the time of the fulfillment. Even if someone believes in the New Testament prophecy without believing in its fulfillment, their faith is futile. At the first coming, Jesus fulfilled the Old Testament (Jn 19:30), but the Physical Israelites did not believe. The Israelites believed in and put the words of their own pastors above the promises of God. How can they be acknowledged as true believers?
 
We (Christians) all believe in Jesus. The words Jesus spoke are the promises (new covenant) he asked us to believe. The physical embodiment of the words of the Old Testament appeared in flesh at the first coming. Likewise, the physical embodiment of the prophecy in the New Testament will also appear at the second coming. The betrayers, destroyers, and the savior recorded in the New Testament will all appear.
 
When the scripture says we need to leave the elementary teachings and go on to maturity, “the maturity” refers to the place which has the physical realities of the fulfillment of the prophecy. Prophecy was given to us so that when it happens, we will believe (Jn 14:29). When the events take place, their physical realities appear. If the prophecy is compared to a dream, then its physical fulfillment is compared to a reality.
 
One does not attain salvation just by superficially saying, “I believe.” The one who truly believes is someone who believes in the word which asks us to flee to the mountains when seeing the destroyer standing in the holy place, and actually flees according to that very word. Furthermore, a person who does this is the one who leaves the elementary teachings. As the prophecy is fulfilled, one can see the betrayers, destroyers, and the savior at the place of maturity, the location where people can see face to face.
 
What Jesus and Apostle Paul talked about in the New Testament is to leave the elementary teachings. Heaven, the sealed twelve tribes, is found in the place of maturity. Just as Paul mentioned, current believers in this world are dwelling in the elementary teachings, and they do not have the faith that should be revealed (refer to Rv 5:1-3). There is no one who can attain salvation with their current life of faith (refer to Rv 22:18-19).
Among the words Jesus spoke to the crowds, Jesus only explained the meanings of the parables to those who belonged to God. Jesus, however, only spoke in parables to outsiders who were not permitted to understand them. Jesus said, if one does not know the parables, they are an outsider, and they are unable to receive forgiveness of their sins (Mk 4:10-13).
 
He also stated that if one adds to and/or subtracts from Revelation, which is the promise written in parables, they will not attain salvation (Rv 22:18-19). All the pastors on earth have added to and/or subtracted from the prophecy. (Ask yourself) In a situation like this, who really has a right to call someone a heretic?
 
It is only one person (Jesus) who opens Revelation and fulfills it (Rv 6). It is also only given to one person (the New John) to testify (Rv 10). This New John is the promised pastor who has seen the physical fulfillment of the entire book of Revelation. Arrogant people have received authority and degrees of doctorates of divinity from men, and they testify about Revelation according to their own thoughts. They are nothing but the ones who are conducting lawlessness. They are unable to testify about the physical fulfillment of Revelation. They are the pastors of the devil who give the false wine, the wine of adulteries.
 
All believers must leave the elementary teachings. Without adding or subtracting from Revelation, everyone must come to the place where it is being fulfilled. They must see and believe in the maturity, and become the born again chosen people. Shincheonji’s twelve tribes are God’s promised kingdom. It is the place where God dwells. It is a place never before created, where one can find the testimony of the fulfillment of the book of Revelation and receive the revelation, which is the eternal gospel. It is the promised new heaven and new earth, Shincheonji. It is also the Temple of the Tabernacle of the Testimony, the city of the highest truth in the 6,000 years of biblical history of mankind.
 
Whoever wishes let them come and drink the water of life, just as it says in Revelation 22:17 and they will attain eternal life.
 
Amen!

Revelation in the New Testament, the Promised Kingdom and Pastor

Revelation in the New Testament,
the Promised Kingdom and Pastor
 
 
 
Main references: Rv 1 ~ 22
 
What is the book of Revelation in the New Testament? What is the promised kingdom, and who is the promised pastor?
 
The book of Revelation in the New Testament was written by John, the disciple of Jesus, roughly 2,000 years ago. Having been inspired by the holy spirit, John saw a vision and recorded the vision revelation while he was in exile on the island of Patmos. There are a total of 22 chapters in Revelation. Besides Revelation, John also recorded the gospel of John (21 chapters), 1 John (five chapters), 2 John (one chapter), and 3 John (one chapter) in the New Testament.
 
Revelation, which John recorded, summarizes the entire prophecy in the New Testament. It will be fulfilled without adding to and/or subtracting from it. After Jesus’ ascension, he came back and made known the revelation to John so we would believe when it happens.
 
Who fulfills this Revelation? Who witnesses it and testifies about it? Regarding the revelation (the sealed scroll) in the Old Testament, God fulfilled it, and Jesus testified about it by receiving the scroll (refer to Is 29:9-14; Hab 2:2-3; Ez 1, 2, 3; Mt 11:27). In regards to Revelation in the New Testament, Jesus receives the scroll (the sealed scroll) from God and fulfills it. He gives the opened scroll to the New John and has him testify about the physical fulfillment, which he sees and hears. Therefore, it is only one pastor, the one who receives the scroll of the revelation, that is able to testify according to what he has seen, heard, and has been commanded to proclaim.
 
Please look at Revelation 10. Except for the New John, whoever claims to know Revelation and interprets it on his own is a thief and a false pastor. Such false pastors are Satan’s pastors, antichrist, those who practice magic arts, and sorcerers who are to appear in the end of the age. The promised pastor, in contrast, is a person who receives the revelation, the one who sees and hears the entire book of Revelation, and receives a command. At the end of the Spiritual Israelites in the era of the New Testament, one will attain salvation by believing and following the promised pastor, rather than following his own pastor. This was the same at the time of the first coming.
 
Revelation in the New Testament begins to be fulfilled as the messengers of the seven lampstands appear. At the first coming, John the Baptist, who prepared the way, appeared and later, in the same temple, the promised pastor, Jesus, also appeared in the temple of John the Baptist. This took place according to the prophecy in Malachi 3. Likewise, the messengers of the seven lampstands who prepare the way must appear first at the time of Revelation. And then the Nicolaitans, Satan’s pastors, invade their tabernacle. At that time, the promised pastor (the one who overcomes) appears in the temple of the tabernacle that prepares the way. This is the beginning of the fulfillment of Revelation chapters 1, 2, and 3.
 
The messengers of the seven golden lampstands that prepare the way at the second coming are the pastors who represent Spiritual Israel at the end times.
 
The pastors and the prophecy of the New Testament are only proclaimed until the seven stars (messengers) which prepare the way appear. Therefore, the betrayal of these representative seven messengers indicates the betrayal of the Spiritual Israelites. Furthermore, serpents, the Nicolaitans, who are similar to the snake-like Pharisees at the first coming (Mt 23:33), are the destroyers at the time of the New Testament’s fulfillment. On the other hand, a person who sends the letters asking for repentance to the seven messengers who prepare the way is the promised pastor (the one who overcomes) and the savior.
 
The events of Revelation record the events of these three entities. God’s people who prepare the way are the seven messengers, while the pastors of the dragon (Satan) are the seven heads and the beast with ten horns (seven pastors and ten elders, who are equivalent to the priests and the elders at the first coming). In addition, the savior begins with the twelve disciples, that is, the twelve tribes, just like at the first coming.
 
The pastors of the dragon invade the tabernacle of the messengers who prepare the way, and they entice the saints of the tabernacle to receive the mark on their foreheads and hands, and to worship them (Rv 13). These pastors destroy the tabernacle just as portrayed in Matthew 24. These are the actions of betrayal and destruction, and the end of the Spiritual Israelites.
 
Since that time, the time of the first coming, God’s gospel of the revelation of the New Testament has been proclaimed (Lk 16:16), and wheat-like saints are harvested and created into God’s new kingdom. They are the sealed 144,000 of the twelve tribes (priests) and the great multitude whose sins are washed away (people). This event takes place in Revelation 7 after the event in Revelation 6.
 
Let us examine this more precisely.
There are two battles in Revelation. The first battle takes place between the seven stars and the dragon’s seven heads and ten horns (Rv 13). The dragon wins this first battle, whereas the saints of the tabernacle of heaven are defeated and destroyed. In the second battle, the male child who is born from the woman clothed with the sun, moon, and stars, and his brothers overcome the group of the dragon with the blood of Jesus and the words of their testimony. As a result, salvation and the kingdom of God are able to come (Rv 12:10-11). The one who overcomes receives the promises of Revelation 2 and 3. There is no salvation and no eternal life without the promises of Revelation 2 and 3.
 
Do you know the promises of Revelation 2 and 3? By overcoming, that which was lost to the devil can be taken back, and God, who comes, can govern the entire world of mankind. Before this work of overcoming, the devil has been controlling and reigning over the world, and people have married the devil (Rv 18). However, when one fights against the devil and overcomes him, God can govern, and the wedding banquet with Jesus, the Lamb, and the wedding itself can take place (Rv 19).
 
The events of Revelation point to the warfare between God and the devil. As those who belong to God overcome, salvation and God’s new kingdom can come (Rv 21:1-7). 
 
Revelation is a book of prophecy. Its fulfillment is the event which occurs during the time of Jesus’ second coming. Just as the Old Testament was fulfilled at the time of the first coming, Revelation in the New Testament is fulfilled without adding to and/or subtracting from it (Rv 21:6). At the time of the fulfillment, the word of prophecy becomes the embodiment, and the flesh entities (actual realities) appear. This is what Jesus asks us to see and believe (Jn 14:29). John saw a vision during the time of prophecy, but at the time of the fulfillment, the New John (the one who overcomes) witnesses the physical fulfillment from Revelation chapter 1 through chapter 22, and he receives the opened scroll. According to the command he receives, he is sent to the churches to give the testimony just as it says in Revelation 22:16. Therefore, this testimony is the truth.
 
The promised pastor who is sent [by Jesus] knows the physical entities of the entire book of Revelation. Except for the promised pastor, whoever interprets Revelation according to his own thoughts is a deceptive liar. I pray that everyone will listen to the promised pastor and attain their hope. 
 
If one desires to be part of God’s promised kingdom and receive heaven and eternal life, he first needs to equip himself with the six qualifications below.
① He must be born again of God’s seed.
② He must be harvested at the time of harvest (time of second coming).
③ He must be sealed.
④ He must not add to and/or subtract from the prophecy and the fulfillment of Revelation.
⑤ He must belong to the twelve tribes.
⑥ His name must be recorded in the book of life.
One will attain salvation only by keeping these six commands.
 
I pray that everyone will hear and perceive the words of the pastor promised in the New Testament, and attain their hope.

3. Biologists advocate human beings are the outcome of a long process of evolution. How is this different from God’s creation of humans? Are not humans or living creatures a consequence of evolution?

Humans and other living things are not the result of evolution but change. Then one may ask why there was a change. A color is one color, but when two colors are mixed, the result is not the same as the original color. The chick born of a mixed breeding of a native and foreign chicken is not the same as the parent chicken. The chick would be a half-half hybrid of the native and foreign breeds. What the true God has created is always the same. Yet, since there are two kinds of gods in this world, there are those who are born of another god and have become something different.
For example, the faces of identical twins are almost the same. Although the environment and the atmosphere each twin is exposed to are different, because the genetic information of the twins when they are created by a man and a woman are the same, the faces of the twins look the same. However, the face of the child born afterwards is different. The reason for this is the difference of accumulated sin and aging.
It is not evolution. When evil entered into the first man, a living spirit (life), the color and behavior of men became mixed and changed. Men began to resemble the image of two gods; however, when the Creator, who is life, returns, all men and creation will be restored to their original state. This change occurred because of the evil god.

The Seed of God & the Inherited Seed of the Sinner

The Seed of God 
& the Inherited Seed of the Sinner
 

 
Main reference: Jer 31:27
 
The main reference is the word which God prophesied to Jeremiah, the son of Hilkiah, roughly 2,600 years ago.  He promised to sow the seed of man and the seed of animals. About 600 years after it was promised, God came to Jesus and sowed seed (Mt 13).
 
What is the seed of man, and what is the seed of animal?
 
Jesus referred to this seed as the secret of the kingdom of heaven in Matthew 13:10-11. The seed (the seed of man) which Jesus, the Son of Man, planted, was the word of God (Lk 8:11). The seed (the seed of animals) that the Pharisees, who were the snakes, the animals, planted was the word of the devil (Mt 23). These were spiritual seeds, not physical seeds. Since they were spiritual seeds, they were planted in people’s hearts. Thus, people’s hearts are figurative fields (1 Cor 3:9).
 
Religion transcends science. If oil runs out of a lamp, then the light will soon be put out. In the same logic, the breath of life which was given during Adam’s time (Gn 2:7) gradually decreased. People lived nearly 1,000 years and then died at that time. The people of today, the children of Adam, however, do not even live 100 years before they die. They die in this way because the life line has been disconnected [from God]. Their life cannot be replenished due to the disconnection, and their breath of life has run out.
 
What is this life? That life is the word of God. God, who is the word, left men, and as a result, the life line has been disconnected. This is why people’s life expectancy has decreased. The sinner who ate the fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil might seems to be alive because he has a soul, but his spirit is dead. Flesh gives birth to flesh, and spirit gives birth to spirit (refer to Jn 3:1-6). Therefore, only when one receives the breath of life from God, will he become a living spirit again. His dead spirit will resurrect from his own tomb and come out of it.
 
No one can enter heaven unless they are born again of God’s spirit and His seed. Before they are born again, they bear the genes of the sinner, the serpent, and they have both good and evil within them. Under this situation, they are like beasts (serpents) which are born of the seed of animals. How can such people live with God in heaven? God chose Adam’s descendants (Noah, Moses, etc.) and worked through them for about 4,000 years, but as a result of what was in their genes, they ended up betraying God. This is why God prophesied in Jeremiah 31, and He gave birth to Jesus through His seed in Luke 1. In doing so, God also allowed Jesus’ disciples to be born again. Since Jesus and his disciples were born again, they did not betray, and they were devoted and faithful even to the point of martyrdom. This is the new work which Jesus carried out. The work of the seed of God’s Son, who is without sin, has begun (Jer 31:22, 27; Mt 13; Jn 1:12-13). This seed has been sown for about 2,000 years. Today, those who are born of this seed are harvested, and God’s new kingdom, heaven, is constructed (Rv 14).   
 
Let us examine the beast, the entity of good and evil.
 
The beast is the serpent. It was the serpent that deceived Eve. The Pharisees were snakes. Even the seven heads and the beast with ten horns in Revelation are the serpents, the group of the dragon. According to Revelation 12:9 and 20:2, the serpent is the devil, Satan, and the dragon. Whoever is born of the genes of this serpent is also a serpent (Mt 13:25-30, 38-39). The serpent was one of the wild animals that God created (Gn 3:1). Eve and Adam ate the fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, which the serpent gave to them. Unlike the words of the serpent, they neither became like God, nor did they live, but they died.
 
There is life in God’s word (Jn 1:1-4), but there is poison in the serpent’s word. Whoever receives the word of this poison also tells lies because both good and evil dwell within that person. His end is death. The serpent has the poison of good and evil, which kills life. According to Deuteronomy 32:32-33, the vine is the same as the snake. The wine, which is made of the grapes, the fruit of the vine, represents the poison and the venom of the serpent. Why did the serpent conduct such actions? He attempted to take away what belonged to God, and to become like God.
 
This is also portrayed in Ezekiel 28. This serpent was the archangel who sinned, just as it says in Isaiah 14. He was one of the four living creatures in the North, South, East, and West, whom God ordained. He was full of wisdom, and he was a perfect seal. Every precious stone adorned him. He was in the Garden of Eden and walked among the fiery stones. However, wickedness was found in him. He proclaimed himself to be God. This entity was good, but he became evil. Since his wickedness kills life, the life of those who receive his word will die.
 
What are these two types of trees and their fruit?
 
If one eats the fruit of the tree of life, he will live eternally (Gn 3:22). If one eats the fruit of the knowledge of good and evil, he will die (Gn 2:17). God spoke in Psalm 78, “I will open my mouth in parables, I will utter hidden things, things from of old.” Through coming to Jesus, God spoke hidden things from of old in parables (Mt 13:34-35).
 
According to the parable in Matthew 13:31-32, if two types of seed are sown, two types of trees grow from them, just like in Genesis 2:9. They become big trees, and birds come and perch in them. A tree symbolizes a person (pastor), and a bird symbolizes a spirit. Jesus was described as a tree in John 15, and his twelve disciples as branches. The twelve branches bore twelve kinds of crops every month. Furthermore, since Jesus referred to himself as the way, the truth, and the life, Jesus is the tree of life in Revelation 22. On the other hand, Babylon in Revelation 18 is the kingdom of demons. This Babylon was the organization of King, Nebuchadnezzar, in Daniel 4:20. This tree bears much fruit. Beasts find shelter under the tree, and birds have nesting places in its branches. What kind of tree is this? It is the tree of the serpent, the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. Its fruit, the fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, is the same as the venom of the serpent, which kills life if one eats.
 
Between the fruit of these two trees, the fruit of the tree of life (firstfruit) represents the word of truth, and the people who are born of this word, according to James 1:18. The fruit made of the word is a person who is born of the word. The identity of the fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, which is the ancient secret in the Bible, is not a plant in nature. The serpent (the archangel) who betrayed God was the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, and his word was his fruit. In short, the fruit of good and evil is the same as the venom of the serpent. It symbolizes a lie that kills life, as well as people who are born of untruth, the venom of the serpent. This fruit of good and evil is depicted as the fruit which Babylon longed for, in Revelation 18:14. Jesus spoke about this in parables (Mt 13). According to Jesus’ promise (Jn 16:25), the true identity has been made known today. The serpent and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil both symbolize a false pastor.
 
Why do the scriptures say the seed of animals? Just as it says in Proverb 30:2-3, a person who does not know God and His word is compared to a beast. In other words, God compared people who speak their own words rather than the word of God, to the beast, because the beast does not have the word of God. Ask animals. They neither perceive the word, nor can they speak the word.
 
Today, those who have not received God’s seed, but have instead received the seed of flesh are the people who have been born of the genes of Adam, the sinner, for the last 6,000 years. The genes of Adam are tainted, the mixture of good and evil. We must know what the Bible tells us, and who we are according to the Bible. We also must perceive what kind of era we are living in according to the Bible.
 
The next series of this article will speak about Genesis 1, 2, and 3. Let us all enter into the word and be born again of that seed. I am praying for this.

Vision and Purpose of Shinchonji Church of Jesus

Vision and Purpose of
Shinchonji Church of Jesus
 
 

 
The vision and purpose of Shinchonji are the following: heaven and eternal life; to become God’s kingdom and priests; to be the City of Truth and the kingdom of righteousness and justice; to master the Bible; to become the citizens of heaven who love, forgive and bless; and finally, to renew the world.
 
This is God’s will being done on earth as it is in heaven. The spiritual world of heaven will come down on Shinchonji, and this unity of the flesh and spirit will establish heaven on earth.
 
Can we say that in the world today, the believers are better than nonbelievers?  And that the Christian are better than people of other religions? Are not the Korean Christians more evil than the Christians of the world? If so, why? As prophesied, God, Jesus, and heaven have come down (refer to Rv 3:12); they, however, came amongst the Christianity of Korea. Therefore, the demons all over the world have gathered to the Christians of Korea (refer to Rv 16:13-16) to interrupt with God’s work.
 
The devil enters into someone he needs, and works to curse, persecute, murder and fabricate lies about the person doing God’s work. In every era, those who the spirit of Satan used had the same actions (refer to Mt 5:10-12, Acts 7:52).
 
Everyone who follows a religion must know their respective religion’s books. No religion in the world, however, understands the meaning of their books exactly. Thus, what is taught and learned in the world of religion are the teachings of men. The teachings of men are far from the will of God (refer to Is 29:9-13).
 
Everyone on earth has one common ancestor; we are of the same family. While all originated from one bloodline, we went on to be divided as we increased in number. This, however, is not the essence of religion. Religion is creating a divine people, not born of natural descent, but of the seed of God. Because the thoughts of man and God are different, disputes can arise, and communication is difficult. God the creator, however, is the giver of life, death, destruction and prosperity to all men (refer to Dt 30:15-20); and he put life and blessings in his word. For us to receive this blessing, we must be a new creation by being born again of his word – the seed of God, who is just (refer to Jn 3:5; 1 Pt 1:23). Those born again of God’s seed are created in God’s image and become his son. These become heirs that inherit from God, and rule the world (refer to 1 Cor 15:50, Gal 4:1-7, Rv 21:5-7).
 
God says in the Bible that he will end the things of the flesh and create gods with his spiritual seed (Acts 17:29). During the process of this creation, many obstacles must be overcome. These obstacles are Satan and his people’s work of sabotage. These obstructers call what is white black, and what is black white. They label orthodoxy as cult and cult as orthodoxy with the power of their ecclesiastical authority. Beasts do not know God and his word (refer to Prv 30:2-3).
 
Like beasts with no regard for God or the law of his word, these obstructers blaspheme God’s true way by ruling over their denomination with the ecclesiastical authority given them by men. Indeed, there are so many obstacles to overcome in passing through the narrow road. Why else would God have to go as far as wiping tears from our eyes when he comes (refer to Rv 21:2-4)?
 
Whether in the First or Second Coming, people are living their lives of faith according to their own will. This is the reason they do not understand the Scriptures or God (Mt 22:29). Christians today think that they are carrying out their life of faith well; they think of themselves to be orthodoxy, to have attained salvation. This is because they don’t know the prophecies in the Bible. If they understood the meaning of the New Testament, they would not be so careless as to say ‘We are saved, and we are orthodox.’ There are two types of ecclesiastical authority. One is given by man, and the other by God. In this world, however, the ecclesiastical authority given by man has suppressed that which was given by God, and still does now.
 
We, Shinchonji, are not saying that there is anything wrong with the pastors of the current churches testifying the fulfillment of the Old Testament and about Jesus. Until the appointed time, such actions are valid; we also had testified the same (regarding the Old Testament and Jesus). Today, however, is the Second Coming when the prophecies of Revelation are being fulfilled; what Shinchonji testifies is not the First Coming, which is the fulfillment of the Old Testament, but rather the fulfillment of the promises of the New Testament (Rv 10:1-11).
 
In other words, the content is different. Pastors of the current churches are testifying the First Coming, while the pastor of Shinchonji is testifying the Second Coming (refer to Rv 22:16). Among these two, what believers in the Second Coming must believe and keep is what is being fulfilled of the New Testament. During the Second Coming, however one may believe in Jesus and testify the fulfillment of the Old Testament, one cannot be saved by doing so. This is because Jesus said that the believers in the era of the New Testament can be saved only by believing the fulfillment of the New Testament and the word of revelation of the Second Coming (refer to Rv 22:18-19). Believers today must decide which is more important to believe in the time of the Second Coming.
 
Although the pastors today can be forgiven for persecuting the members of Shinchonji, they cannot be forgiven for choosing to not believe the word of testimony and thus persecuting. This is because it is the blasphemy against the Holy Spirit (refer to Mt 12:31-32).
