The Promised Pastor in Shincheonji who belong to God is totally different from False Prophets who belong to Satan


The Promised Pastor in Shincheonji who belong to God  is totally different from False Prophets who belong to Satan



The one (False Prophet) born of the earth speaks as one from the earth, but the one (Promised Pastor) who comes from above speaks about what he has seen and heard in Heaven. He (Promised Pastor) speaks God’s Words, and God gives him (Promised Pastor) the Holy Spirit without limit (Jn 3:31~34).Those who belong to the world listen to the words of the world, but they do not listen to God’s Words. Those (Shincheonji) who belong to God listen to God’s Words. This is how we can discern the Spirit of Truth from the Spirit of Deception (1 Jn 4:5~6). Furthermore, since God is love, those (Promised Pastor) who love belong to God, but those (False Prophets) who do not love do not belong to God. The fact that they (False Prophets) do not love is evidence that they (False Prophets) belong to Satan (1 Jn 4:7~8, 1 Jn 4:16).

Jesus said in Jn 15:18~19 that those (False Prophets) who belong to the world persecute those (Promised Pastor and his congregation Shincheonji) who belong to God. Mt 5:10~12 says something very similar: 'Blessed are those who are persecuted because of righteousness … Rejoice and be glad, because great is your Reward in Heaven, for in the same way they (False Prophets) persecuted the Prophets who were before you.' Why do people persecute others? What is the reason? Regardless of whether you are talking about the past or the present, people who persecute others belong to the Devil Satan.

God told us to love, forgive, and bless others (Mt 18, 1 Jn 4). God sent His Son Jesus to die on our behalf (Jn 3:16), and that same Son Jesus gave up His life to save us from our sins (Jn 1:29, 1 Tm 1:15). Jesus taught us to love even our enemies, to feed them when they are hungry, and also to pray for them (Mt 5:44, Ro 12:20). Jesus also taught us to walk 2 miles with a person who forces us to travel 1 (Mt 5:41) and that hatred toward our brothers is tantamount to murder (Mt 5:21~22, 1 Jn 2:11, 1 Jn 3:15). He also said that people (False Prophets) who lie belong to the Devil Satan (Jn 8:44).

These are the commands of our Lord and the Scriptures cannot be broken (Jn 10:35). People will be judged according to the Words of the Bible (Rev 20:12). I earnestly pray that you will attain Salvation by becoming a Possession of God.



Talking about the Sealed Book, in the Old Testament, Isa 29:9~14 states that the entire vision is like a Sealed Book, because the Lord has poured out a spirit of deep sleep and their eyes are sealed and their heads are covered. The seers and prophets are all blind and do not know the vision. They are taught by man and honor God with their lips. They call Him 'Lord, Lord', yet their hearts are far from God. But the vision has a Time for its Fulfillment (Hab 2:2~3). At the Time of the Fulfillment God opened the scroll and gave it to the Son of Man to eat, and sent him to the corrupt Chosen People (Eze 2~3). That person was Jesus. Jesus, in his 1st Coming, received the Opened Scroll (Book) and fulfilled all that was promised (Jn 19:30).

Regarding visions of the Bible's New Testament, the Book of Revelation, in chapter 5 verses 1 to 4 point out that today’s Pastors (False Prophets) have become blind and that there is not anyone who knows the Book that is sealed with 7 Seals. What they know and teach is the historical (genetically passed down) teachings. When the vision is not revealed as reality, then there is no salvation for humanity and God and His Kingdom will not come to earth. This is the Word of a Person (Promised Pastor) who knows God's will and understands the Bible. 



The Book of Revelation is the Revelation of Jesus Christ (Rev 1:1), which records that if it is not kept, added to or taken out from, then that person cannot go to the Kingdom of Heaven and will be cursed (Rev 22:18~19). This is how it is, but why can't pastors (False Prophets) teach the Book of Revelation, the Revelation of Jesus? Or when they do, why do they teach it with people's thoughts and by human research? That is because they did not receive the Revelation and do not know the true meaning. If they do not know, will they be saved? No. They will not be saved. John went up to the Kingdom of Heaven (Rev 4) and stood in front of the Throne and saw that the Book was sealed and no one on earth or heaven could open it so he cried (Rev 5:1~4), because if the Book is not opened and God's Recorded Secret does not get fulfilled, then God's Hope and our Hope of Salvation will not be fulfilled. 

Today, Jesus opened all 7 Seals (Rev 6, Rev 8:1) and through the angel gave the Book to John so that he can deliver it to all nations and people (Rev 10:1~3, 8~10). In Jesus' 1st Coming, he received the Revelation God opened (Eze 2:8~3:3) and said that no one knows the Father except the Son and those to whom the Son chooses to reveal him (Mt 11:27), and that knowing the only true God and Jesus Christ who was sent is Eternal Life (Jn 17:3).

Today through Spiritual John (the Promised Pastor in Shincheonji: the One who overcomes) who received the Revelation from Jesus, the 12 Tribes, the 144,000 and the Great Multitude in White Robes receive the Revelation. Only then we will know God and Jesus. And we can obtain Eternal Life by following and keeping all of what Spiritual John (the Promised Pastor in Shincheonji) whom Jesus sent (as a messenger) testifies.


In the New Testament we seek Eternity and the Kingdom of Heaven. The New Testament is the New Covenant and is testifying and directing us to the One (the Promised Pastor in Shincheonji) who overcomes - that is Spiritual John. The Book of Revelation tells us that the One who sees and hears and is commanded (that is the One who overcomes) inherits and becomes God's Son (Rev 21:7). God, Jesus and the Kingdom of Heaven comes to the One (the Promised Pastor in Shincheonji) who overcomes and the Bread of Life, the Ruling and Judgmental Power are all given to the One (the Promised Pastor in Shincheonji) who overcomes (Rev 2~3).

The Time of the New Testament is the Era of the Fulfillment of the Book of Revelation. It is a Blessing to faithful people to meet the Promised Pastor in Shincheonji - the One who overcomes. Without paying attention to the One (Promised Pastor in Shincheonji) who overcomes there is no Salvation. This is the New Covenant which is the Prophecy of the New Testament, the Fulfilled Reality of today. Think of the Words of the New Testament as a teacher of faith and a path of faith, and then you will know and meet the Promised Pastor in Shincheonji - the One who overcomes.

Shincheonji, Holy City of Truth: Explanation of some Biblical Words


Shincheonji, Holy City of Truth: Explanation of some Biblical Words



Agape:

The Greek word agape is often translated 'love' in the New Testament. How is 'agape love' different from other types of love? The essence of agape love is self-sacrifice. Agape love is unique and is distinguished by its nature and character.

Agape is love which is of and from God, whose very nature is love itself. The apostle John affirms this in 1 John 4:8: 'God is love.' God does not merely love; He is love itself. Everything God does flows from His love. But it is important to remember that God’s love is not a sappy, sentimental love such as we often hear portrayed. God loves because that is His nature and the expression of His being. He loves the unlovable and the unlovely, not because we deserve to be loved, but because it is His nature to love us, and He must be true to His nature and character. God’s love is displayed most clearly at the cross, where Christ died for the unworthy creatures who were 'dead in trespasses and sins' (Eph 2:1), not because we did anything to deserve it, 'but God commends His love toward us in that while we were yet sinners Christ died for us' (Ro 5:8). The object of God’s agape love never does anything to merit His love. We are the undeserving recipients upon whom He lavishes that love. His love was demonstrated when He sent His Son into the world to 'seek and save that which was lost' (Lk 19:10) and to provide Eternal Life to those He sought and saved. He paid the ultimate sacrifice for those He loves.

In the same way, we are to love others sacrificially. Sacrificial love is not based on a feeling, but a determined act of the will, a joyful resolve to put the welfare of others above our own. But this type of love does not come naturally to humans. Because of our fallen nature, we are incapable of producing such a love. If we are to love as God loves, that love—that agape—can only come from its true Source. This is the love which 'has been poured out in our hearts through the Holy Spirit given to us' when we became His children (Ro 5:5). Because that love is now in our hearts, we can obey Jesus who said, 'I give you a new commandment, that you love one another. As I have loved you, you should also love one another' (Jn 13:34). This new commandment involves loving one another as He loved us sacrificially, even to the point of death. But, again, it is clear that only God can generate within us the kind of Self-sacrificing Love which is the proof that we are His children. 'By this we have known the Love of God, because He laid down His life for us. And we ought to lay down our lives for the brothers' (1 Jn 3:16). Because of God’s love toward us, we are now able to love one another.

 Apostle:

The word apostle means 'one who is sent out.' In the New Testament, there are 2 primary usages of the word apostle. The 1st is in specifically referring to the 12 apostles of Jesus Christ. The 2nd is in generically referring to other individuals who are sent out to be messengers/ambassadors of Jesus Christ.

The 12 apostles held a unique position. In referring to the New Jerusalem, Rev 21:14 states, 'The wall of the city had 12 foundations, and on them were the names of the 12 apostles of the Lamb.' The 12 apostles are also referred to in Mt 10:2, Mk 3:14, 4:10, 6:7; 9:35, 14:10, 17, 23, Lk 6:13, 9:1, 22:14, Jn 6:71, Ac 6:2, and 1 Co 15:5. It was these 12 apostles who were the 1st messengers of the gospel after the Death and Resurrection of Jesus Christ. It was these 12 apostles who were the foundation of the church—with Jesus being the cornerstone (Eph 2:20).

This specific type of apostle is not present in the church today. The qualifications of this type of apostle were: (1) to have been an witness of the resurrected Christ (1 Co 9:1), (2) to have been explicitly chosen by the Holy Spirit (Ac 9:15), (3) to have the ability to perform signs and wonders (Ac 2:43, 2 Co 12:12). The role of the 12 apostles is to lay the foundation of the church.

Beyond the unique 12 apostles of Jesus Christ, there were also apostles in a generic sense. Barnabas is referred to as an 'apostle' in Ac 13:2 and 14:4. Andronicus and Junias are possibly identified as apostles in Ro 16:7. The same Greek word usually translated 'apostle' is used to refer to Titus in 2 Co 8:23 and Epaphroditus in Php 2:25. So, there definitely seems to be room for the term apostle being used to refer to someone besides the 12 apostles of Jesus Christ. Anyone who was 'sent' could be called an apostle.

In a sense, all followers of Jesus Christ are called to be apostles. We are all to be His ambassadors (Mt 28:18-20, 2 Co 5:18-20). We are all to be 'ones who are sent out' (Ac 1:8). We are all to be preachers of the Good News (Ro 10:15).
            (http://www.gotquestions.org/what-is-an-apostle.html)



Ark of the Covenant:

As a sign of God's covenant He had the Israelites make a box according to His own design, in which to place the stone tablets containing the Ten Commandments. This box, or chest, was called an 'Ark' and was made of acacia wood overlaid with gold. The Ark was to be housed in the inner sanctum of the tabernacle in the desert and eventually in the Temple when it was built in Jerusalem. This chest is known as the 'Ark of the Covenant.'

The real significance of the Ark of the Covenant was what took place involving the lid of the box, known as the 'Mercy Seat'. The term ‘mercy seat’ comes from a Hebrew word meaning 'to cover, placate, appease, cleanse, cancel or make atonement for.' It was here that the high priest, only once a year (Lev 16), entered the Holy of Holies where the Ark was kept and atoned for his sins and the sins of the Israelites. The priest sprinkled blood of a sacrificed animal onto the Mercy Seat to appease the wrath and anger of God for past sins committed. This was the only place in the world where this atonement could take place.

The Mercy Seat on the Ark was a symbolic foreshadowing of the ultimate sacrifice for all sin—the blood of Christ shed on the cross for the remission of sins. The Apostle Paul, a former Pharisee and one familiar with the Old Testament, knew this concept quite well when he wrote about Christ being our covering for sin in Ro 3:24-25: 'and are justified by his grace as a gift, through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus, whom God put forward as a propitiation by his blood, to be received by faith.' Just as there was only one place for atonement of sins in the Old Testament—the Mercy Seat of the Ark of the Covenant—so there is also only one place for atonement in the New Testament and current times—the Cross of Jesus Christ. 
       (http://www.gotquestions.org/ark-of-the-covenant.html)

Book of Life:

Rev 20:15 declares, 'If anyone's name was not found written in the Book of Life, he was thrown into the Lake of Fire.' The Book of Life is the set of names of those who will live with God forever in Heaven. It is the Roll of those who are saved. This Book of Life is also mentioned in Rev 3:5, 20:12 and Php 4:3. The same book is also called the Lamb’s Book of Life because it contains the Names of those who have been redeemed by the Blood of the Lord Jesus (Rev 13:8, 21:27).No true believer should doubt his Eternal Security in Christ (Jn 10:28~30).

The Great White Throne Judgment described in Rev 20:11~15 is a Judgment for Unbelievers. That passage makes it clear that no one at that Judgment has his Name in the Book of Life (Rev 20:12~14). Since their Names are not in the Book of Life, their fate is sealed, their punishment is sure.

The Promise of Rev 3:5 is clearly that the Lord will not erase a name: 'He who overcomes. I will not blot out his Name from the Book of Life.' An Overcomer is one who is victorious over the temptations, trials, and evils of this world—in other words, one who is redeemed. The saved are written in God’s Registry and have the Promise of Eternal Security. God keeps good records. He knows His own, and He has set the Names of His children permanently in His book.
                      (http://www.gotquestions.org/hosanna.html)


Hosanna:

Hosanna is a word used in some songs of praise, particularly on Palm Sunday. It is of Hebrew origin and was part of the shout of the multitudes as Jesus entered Jerusalem: 'Hosanna to the Son of David! Blessed is he who comes in the Name of the Lord! Hosanna in the Highest Heaven!' (Mt 21:9).

Hosanna is often thought of as a Declaration of Praise, similar to 'Hallelujah', but it is actually a Plea for Salvation. The Hebrew root words are found in Ps118:25, which says, 'O Lord, Save us; O Lord, grant us success.' The Hebrew words 'yasha' (=deliver, save) and 'anna' (=beg, beseech) combine to form the word that, in English, is 'Hosanna.' Literally, hosanna means 'I beg you to save!' or 'please deliver us!'

So, as Jesus rode the donkey into Jerusalem, the crowds were perfectly right to shout 'Hosanna!'. They were acknowledging Jesus as their Messiah, as shown in their Address 'Son of David.' There was a Cry for Salvation and a Recognition that Jesus is able to save.

Later that day, Jesus was in the temple, and the children present were again shouting, 'Hosanna to the Son of David!' (Mt 21:15). The chief priests and the teachers of the Law were displeased: 'Do you hear what these children are saying?’ They asked him. ‘Yes,’ replied Jesus, ‘have you never read, 'From the lips of children and infants you, Lord, have called forth your praise'?' (Mt 21:16). In saying, 'Hosanna!' the people were crying out for Salvation, and that’s exactly why Jesus had come. Within a week Jesus would be hanging on a cross.
                  ( http://www.gotquestions.org/hosanna.html)


Crucifixion:

Crucifixion was an ancient method of execution in which the victim's hands and feet were bound and nailed to a cross. It was one of the most painful and disgraceful methods of capitol punishment.



Hallelujah:

The word Hallelujah is most familiar in the context of the 'Hallelujah Chorus' from Handel’s Messiah. Hallelujah is a Hebrew word meaning 'praise the Jehovah.' Hallelujah appears 4 times in the NIV. Phrases which appear over 50 times in the Old Testament and once in the New Testament. It is interesting to note, however, that in none of the places where 'praise the Lord' or 'praise Jehovah' appear are they a translation of the Hebrew Hallelujah.

What, then, is so special about the Word Hallelujah that it is only used in Rev 19? The scene in this passage opens in Heaven where a great multitude has gathered before the throne in the immediate Presence of God Himself, after the final overthrow of the enemies of the church and the Triumph of the Gospel. In such circumstances, it was fitting that all heaven should render praise and that a song of thanksgiving should be uttered in which all holy beings could unite. Reasons for this glorious outpouring of praise are God’s righteous victory over His enemies (Rev 19:1~3), His sovereignty (Rev 19:4~6), and His eternal communion with His people (Rev 7). The sound of the outpouring of praise and worship is so overwhelming that the apostle John can only describe it as the roar of rushing waters and loud peals of thunder.

So great is the rejoicing by God’s people at the Wedding Feast of the Bridegroom and the Bride that Hallelujah is the only word grand enough to express it. Handel’s version of the great chorus in heaven, as glorious as that music is, is only a feeble foreshadowing of the magnificence that will be expressed by the heavenly chorus as we sing 'Hallelujah, for the Lord God omnipotent reigns!'
                        (http://www.gotquestions.org/hallelujah.html)

Immanuel:

The Hebrew word 'Immanuel' means 'God with us.' Jesus of Nazareth and the Holy Spirit made that Old Testament promise come true. The word 'Immanuel' appears only 3 times in the Bible: Isa 7:14, 8:8, Mt 1:23.

Manna:

The food miraculously provided for the Israelites in the wilderness during their flight from Egypt. Spiritual nourishment of divine origin. The dried exudate of certain plants, as that of the Mediterranean ash tree, formerly used as a laxative. A sweet granular substance excreted on the leaves of plants by certain insects, especially aphids, and often harvested by ants.
                  (https://www.wordnik.com/words/manna)

Manna kept the Israelites alive in the desert for 40 years. This bread from heaven foreshadowed Jesus Christ, the Bread of Life Redemption. Redemption is an important concept in Christianity. This act always means going from one thing to another. Redemption takes a believer from the bondage of sin to new life in Jesus Christ.

Sin:

The Bible describes Sin as the breaking, or transgression, of God's Law. It is also defined as Disobedience or Rebellion against God, as well as Independence from God.

Sin is 'any want of conformity unto or transgression of the law of God' (1 Jn 3:4, Ro 4:15), in the inward state and habit of the soul, as well as in the outward conduct of the life, whether by omission or commission (Ro 6:12~17, 7:5~24). The moral character of a man's actions is determined by the moral state of his heart. The disposition to sin, or the habit of the soul that leads to the sinful act, is itself also sin (Ro 6:12~17, Gal 5:17, Jas 1:14~15).
           (http://www.christiananswers.net/dictionary/sin.html)

Amen:

The Hebrew word translated 'amen' literally means 'truly' or 'so be it.' 'Amen' is also found in the Greek New Testament and has the same meaning. Nearly half of the Old Testament uses of Amen are found in the Book of Deuteronomy. In each case, the people are responding to curses pronounced by God on various sins. Each pronouncement is followed by the words 'and all the people shall say Amen' (Dt 27:15~26). This indicates that the people applauded the righteous sentence handed down by their Holy God, responding, 'So let it be.' The Amen attested to the Conviction of the hearers that the sentences which they heard were 'true, just, and certain.'

7 of the Old Testament references link Amen with Praise. The sentence 'and all the people said, Amen, and Praised Jehovah' found in 1 Ch 16:36, typifies the connection between Amen and Praise. In Ne 5:13, 8:6, the people of Israel affirmed Ezra’s exalting of God by worshiping Him and obeying Him. The Highest Expression of Praise to God is Obedience, and when we say 'Amen' to His commands and pronouncements, our praise is sweet music to His ears.

The New Testament writers all use 'Amen' at the end of their epistles. The apostle John uses it at the end of his Gospel, his 3 Letters, and the Book of Revelation, where it appears 9 times. Each time it is connected with praising and glorifying God and referring to the 2nd Coming and the End of the Age. Paul says 'amen' to the Blessings he pronounces on all the churches in his Letters to them, as do Peter, John and Jude in their Letters. The implication is that they are saying, 'May it be that the Lord will truly grant these Blessings upon you.'

When we as believers say 'Amen' at the end of our prayers, we are following the model of the apostles, asking God to 'please let it be as we have prayed.' Remembering the connection between Amen and the Praise of Obedience, all prayers should be prayed according to the Will of God. Then when we say 'Amen,' we can be confident that God will respond 'so be it' and grant our requests (Jn 14:13, 1 Jn 5:14).
Amen~

Shincheonji is God Promising Purpose of the Old Testament and New Testament in the Bible


Shincheonji is God Promising Purpose of the Old Testament and New Testament in the Bible




In each generation, God chose people to write his Words on his behalf. The book that contains these Words of God is the Bible. 

The Old Testament is God's Old 1st Covenant with Chosen Physical Israelites.(Ex 19:5~6) 
Whereas the New Testament is Jesus' New 2nd Covenant with His Disciples(Spiritual Israelites).



God promised that 'if the Chosen Physical Israelites obey Him fully and keep His Covenant, then out of all nations they will be His treasured possession. Although the whole earth is His, they will be for Him a Kingdom of Priests and a Holy Nation.' But unfortunately they failed to keep the Old Covenant. Therefore they had to afflicted and suffered for so long until the Son of God, Jesus, appeared as prophesied in the Scriptures. Though Jesus came as a Savior for fallen Physical Israelites, they didn't recognized Him nor accepted Him, instead crucified Him. Right before Jesus' Crucifixion, He promised New Covenant to be fulfilled to His disciples.

It was God’s intention to have His Prophecies that would be fulfilled in the future concealed in figurative language—sealed with seven seals—so that no one would understand the Prophecies until the Time appointed for their Fulfillment arrives (Isa 29:9~14, Hos 12:10, Mt 13:10~11, Rev 5:1~3).

When the appointed time arrived, the Lord opened the book and gave it to his Chosen Pastor to convey its message to the world (Eze 3, Jn 16:25, Rev 10). In addition to opening the Book, the Lord fulfills the Words of the Promises without adding to or subtracting from the Words recorded in the Bible (Jn 19:30, Rev 21:6). At the Time of Fulfillment, believers attain Salvation by seeing, hearing, and believing in the Physical Fulfillment of God’s Promises (Jn 14:29). There is only one God and one Bible, both of which have a single purpose.





The Prophecies of the Old and New Testaments and Their Fulfillment

Since the scriptures cannot be broken (Jn 10:35), a tree must be known by its fruit (Mt 7:15-20). People will also be judged according to what they have done as is recorded in the 'Books' (Rev 20:12). It was Jesus who fulfilled the Prophecies of the Old Testament that were given through the prophets (Jn 19:30), and it is the one who overcomes (Rev 21:6) who fulfills the Prophecies of the New Testament that Jesus gave through his disciples. Pastors who have become accustomed to the teachings of men will be astounded with wonder upon wonder when they see the Bible being fulfilled (Isa 29:9~14). This Revelation, as recorded, is the Mystery of Mysteries, and we know it awaits an appointed time (Heb 2:2~3) when the chosen are captured by gentiles. According to Prophecies about the Time of Fulfillment, the Son of Man had to receive the open scroll and speak on behalf of God to the hardened and obsolete Israelites (Eze 1, 2, 3). This was fulfilled 600 years later through Jesus to whom God had come (Mt 15:24).



Likewise,the New Testament also prophesies that God’s Chosen Pastor must receive the open scroll from the angel sent by Jesus, and he must then prophesy to a certain group of people that is Shincheonji (Rev 10). Jesus takes this scroll from the hand of God, and then he opens it. No one in heaven or on earth or under the earth could open the scroll except for Jesus (Rev 5:1~7, Rev 6, 8:1~2). Only the one who receives this Word of Revelation from Jesus can deliver its content to others (Rev 10). This Promised Pastor has seen and heard the Physical Realities of all the events of Revelation. This Promised Pastor has also received the Open Word of Revelation (Rev 1:1~3). Believers can only understand and do the Will of God if they learn from this Promised Pastor who has received the Word of Revelation. Again, they can only be saved by receiving the Testimony of the Promised Pastor who receives the open scroll, the Promised Pastor who sees and hears Revelation. In Rev 22:18~19, it says that no one who adds or takes away from the Word of Revelation can be saved. This Promised Pastor establishes a Kingdom of Priests and a Holy Nation, that is Shincheonji just as what Jesus promised in the New Covenant. Through this God's Promise in the Old Testament and New Testament is fulfilled completely.



Ask yourself if you know Revelation. Do not deceive yourself before God so that you can be taught and saved. Stop lying to yourself and others, saying you are saved or that you are orthodox. Please be honest and repent so that you can learn. Today is like the Days of Noah. Only those who obey the Word and get on the Ark can be saved. In Mt 24:37~39, the Days of the Son of Man will be like the Days of Noah, because anyone who refused to listen to Noah was destroyed. On the plus side, however, anyone who listened to Noah was saved. Do you truly believe in this Word of God? 

Let us all be saved by believing in this Word of Truth.

Shincheonji is Love: Bible Quotes about Love


Shincheonji is Love:
Bible Quotes about Love



God is Love.Therefore the Bible, the Word of Truth, shows what love is and also how Jesus, Son of God, lived in Perfect Love of God. Somehow the Bible is God’s Love Letter to humanity. So The more you open your heart to it, the more apparent God’s Love will become to you. Thus, you will grow to love God more and more.

Beloved, let us love one another, for love is of God; and everyone who loves is born of God and knows God. He who does not love does not know God, for God is love. —1 John 4:7~8



Love suffers long and is kind; love does not envy; love does not parade itself, is not puffed up; does not behave rudely, does not seek its own, is not provoked, thinks no evil; does not rejoice in iniquity, but rejoices in the truth; bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. Love never fails… —1 Corinthians 13:4~8



In this is love, not that we loved God, but that He loved us and sent His Son to be the propitiation for our sins. Beloved, if God so loved us, we also ought to love one another. —1 John 4:10~11

This is My commandment, that you love one another as I have loved you. Greater love has no one than this, than to lay down one’s life for his friends.—John 15:12~13



The LORD has appeared of old to me, saying: 'Yes, I have loved you with an everlasting love; Therefore with loving-kindness I have drawn you.' —Jeremiah 31:3

But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. —Romans 5:8

For I am persuaded that neither death nor life, nor angels nor principalities nor powers, nor things present nor things to come, nor height nor depth, nor any other created thing, shall be able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord. —Romans 8:38~3

Shincheonji is the God's Dwelling Place as the Word of Truth in the Bible.

For 'Him who overcomes I will make a pillar in the temple of my God. Never again will he leave it. I will write on Him the Name of my God and the Name of the city of my God, the New Jerusalem, which is coming down out of Heaven from my God; and I will also write on Him my New Name.'(Rev 3:12) 

and from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, the firstborn from the dead, and the ruler of the kings of the earth. To him who loves us and has freed us from our sins by his blood, and has made us to be a kingdom and priests to serve his God and Father--to him be glory and power for ever and ever! Amen. (Rev 1:5~6)

Therefore Shincheonji is Love. Whoever against Shincheonji is against God and Jesus. Shincheonji is the City of Righteousness, the Faithful City as the Word of Truth in the Bible.(Isa 1:26) 

Let us walk in the Light of the Lord.

Comparison of the Responsibilities of Shincheonji with Christian Church's


Comparison of the Responsibilities of Shincheonji with Christian Church's



The Responsibilities of Christian Church

Christians are related to Christ by virtue of being saved by Him, and related to each other through mutual connection with Christ. We are both believers (Ac 5:14) and brothers (Ac 9:30), and thus have responsibilities on two fronts -- what we do in our individual lives before God and what we do together with other Christians. The New Testament speaks the language of Christians' dual identity and responsibility -- what we are and do individually and collectively. There is correspondence between what Christians do individually and do together, and there is also distinction. As the result, we must think carefully.

Individual and Congregational Correspondence 

In 1Pe 2:1~3, the apostle clearly addresses individual believers, since he discusses matters we each must attend to in our own lives -- 'Therefore, rid yourselves of all malice and all deceit, hypocrisy, envy and slander of every kind. Like newborn babies, crave pure spiritual milk, so that by it you may grow up in your salvation, now that you have tasted that the Lord is good.' Peter's mind then runs to what Christians are together -- 'As you come to him, the living Stone--rejected by men but chosen by God and precious to him--you also, like living stones, are being built into a spiritual house to be a holy priesthood, offering spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ.'(1Pe 2:4~5). Here Peter thinks of Christians collectively -- how together we form 'a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people belonging to God, that you may declare the praises of him who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light.' (1Pe 2:9).

Peter's discussion shows that what Christians do individually corresponds with what they do collectively. The "collective" action Peter describes is carried out as each Christian longs for spiritual nourishment (1Pe 2:2), while together with other Christians offering up spiritual sacrifices (1Pe 2:5) and exalting God (1Pe 2:9). What the church is and does, to a large degree, results from what its members are and do. We need to feel a sense of belonging and a sense of responsibility. Each member of a congregation is to be actively, zealously involved in the Lord's service. Most of the New Testament pertains to Christians' Individual Responsibilities to God, though with the understanding that what each member does bears on what the church is.

Individual and Congregational Distinction 

In 1 Timothy 5:3-16, the apostle gives instructions concerning the care of widows. Some widows have relatives who can care for them (v. 4), and these relatives have specific responsibilities to 'provide for [their] own' (v. 8). The 'widows indeed' have been 'left alone' (v. 5), meaning there are no relatives to care for them. The widows indeed, whom Paul more specifically describes (vv. 9-10), are to be 'put on the list,' which is a way of describing the church's assisting them (v. 16). In this discussion, Paul makes a distinction between Individual and Congregational Responsibilities: "If any woman who is a believer has dependent widows, let her assist them, and let not the church be burdened, so that it may assist those who are widows indeed" (v. 16).

A group may carry out its responsibilities in two ways: by the members working or by the members financially supporting a work. These two methods may be illustrated by Jesus' parable about the good Samaritan who both helped the injured man and paid for additional help (Luke 10:33-35). The church's assistance to a 'widow indeed' falls into the second category -- she is 'put on the list' and the church is 'burdened' with her care in the sense that the congregation assists her financially.

Congregational Benevolence 

A church can and should be "benevolent" as each member demonstrates kindness, compassion, and generosity toward people in need. Individual Christians are to "do good to all men, and especially to those who are of the household of faith" (Gal. 6:10). This is individual action, yet it relates to the congregation since it is members of the body who are doing good. An illustration of this phenomenon is seen in Acts 8:3. Saul was "ravaging the church," but doing so by "entering house after house." He drug individual Christians to prison, but the Christians were members of the body so that Luke could say Paul was injuring the church.

As the members of a congregation meet the needs of people, the church, though acting distributively, is benevolent. Everyone will not recognize this distinction, but it is nevertheless there. Much of what a "church" does it does as its members serve God in their individual lives. We need to feel individual responsibility to be compassionate and caring. As we do so individually, this relates to and reflects on what we are collectively.

A church can also be "benevolent" by assisting those in need whom the Lord has charged the church to assist. The collective work of benevolence done by a congregation, in the sense of financially supporting the needy, is restricted by New Testament instructions. 

1. a church is to assist those who are saints (Acts 11:28-29, Romans 15:26, etc.). 
2. a church is to assist saints whose relatives do not do so (1 Tim. 5:16). These restrictions coincide with the fact that the church's primary function is to uphold and promote truth (1 Tim. 3:15). Based on the principle of Acts 6:2 employed by the apostles, the church's benevolent work, while important and at times essential, must not be allowed to eclipse the church's primary work.

The church's work is often perceived as equipping the "church" to serve, while Paul said the church's role is to equip the saints to serve (Eph 4:12). The church is the people of God saved by Christ, joined together to uphold, practice,and promote the truth in order that God may dwell among us and be our God (1Ti 3:15, Eph 2:19~22). Most of what the Lord's church does is to be done through the fiery devotion and service of individual saints.

Shincheonji testifies to the Words of Truth in the Bible: The Highest Truth in the World


Shincheonji testifies to the Words of Truth in the Bible: The Highest Truth in the World



God and Jesus are the Word and the Truth (Jn 17:17, Jn 1:1-4, 1 Jn 1:1). First, let's examine the Culture of Heaven and the Eternal Truth of God’s Word in the Bible.

Before the Time of Moses, God's Truth was spread only by word of mouth. Finally, God decided to give Moses the Law so he could write it down. God's ultimate purpose in giving the Law of Moses, though, was that it might lead people to Jesus Christ (Gal 3:23-25). When Jesus came, he was also charged with delivering the Word of God, Truth. Although Jesus preached the Gospel of Heaven at the Time of the 1st Coming, the meaning of many of the Words he spoke (especially the prophecies) were hidden in parables (Mt 13:34-35, Mk 4:10-12). When the prophecies appear as a physical reality, Jesus' parables are finally revealed in plain language (Jn 16:25) by the Holy Spirit of the Counselor, who comes in the name of the Lord (Mt 23:39, Jn 14:26).

The Counselor is the Spirit of Truth and the Truth is the Words of God (Jn 14:16-17, Jn 17:17). The Counselor is the Spirit of God that testifies about the Words of Jesus (Rev 19:10). How does this Spirit testify Jesus? The Spirit of the Counselor dwells within a person and guides his heart and mouth. That person speaks only what he hears from Jesus (Jn 14:16-17, Jn 16:13-15). The Spirit of the Counselor does not speak figuratively like Jesus—he speaks plainly about God (Jn 16:25). If Jesus spoke figuratively, why does the Spirit of the Counselor speak plainly? When the Spirit of the Counselor comes he testifies not about what will take place in the future but about what he has seen and heard. The figurative language hides the details of what will occur in the future(Jn 14:29). The Spirit of the Counselor must testify according to what he has witnessed because it has already happened. The prophecies are evidence that his testimony is true.



When does the Spirit of the Counselor appear? The Spirit of the Counselor comes when the prophecies of the New Testament are fulfilled at the Time of Jesus’ 2nd Coming (Rev 1:1, Rev 10:1, Rev 19:10). That is why he testifies about Jesus and the Physical Fulfillment of His Prophecies. At the time of the 1st Coming, God opened the Sealed Scroll of the Old Testament (Isa 29:9-14, Heb 2:2-3, Eze 2 ~ 3), gave it to Jesus, and then spoke through him (Jn 14:24). In the same way, Jesus opens the Book of Revelation, which is the Sealed Scroll of the New Testament (Rev 5:7, Rev 6), and gives it to his Chosen Pastor of Shincheonji so that he can testify on Jesus' behalf (Rev 10). This Promised Pastor of Shincheonji  preaches according to what he has seen and heard and he carries out God's Commands just as Moses and Jesus did (Jn 5:17-19).

When the Sealed Book of Revelation is revealed, it is the most important Era of all the 6,000 years of biblical history. The Word that are preached at that time—the testimony about the Physical Fulfillment of the Prophecies—is the most precious Word of Truth in the Bible. The Prophecies of the New Testament have become flesh and appeared in the physical world as the 12 Tribes of Shincheonji. That is the Book of Revelation has been being revealed to the world as the 12 Tribes of Shincheonji. So far, the Truth was hidden in figurative language, but now is the Era of the Fulfillment of Revelation when everything has been being revealed completely, for it is time when God’s Providence is done (Rev 21:6).



Corrupt Satanic Leaders (pastors) have persecuted and killed God's Messengers in every generation because the Words those messengers spoke were different from the words the corrupt satanic pastors were preaching then(Mt 23:34-35, Jn 8). Shincheonji Church of Jesus is being persecuted severely by Corrupt Christian False Pastors today, Corrupt Satanic Pastors' persecution occurs in Shincheonji's Fulfilling the Prophecies of the Word in the Bible. It also happens to oppose and interfere the Work of Jesus' 2nd Coming, so the Members of Shincheonji who overcome it will be rewarded by God (Mt 5:10-12). We are being persecuted because we have the Highest Truth in the world. Shincheonji is the only place that has mastered the Bible and the only place that testifies about the Fulfillment of Revelation. Those who believe it will be saved, but those who refuse to believe it will be punished.

People must come out of the Darkness (ignorance) into the Light of God's Word. Now is the time to understand that all nations have gone astray. They have become a part of Babylon, the Kingdom of Demons, according to prophecy (Rev 17, Rev 18). Those who flee from Spiritual Death in Babylon to pursue Spiritual Life in Shincheonji will be saved. Shincheonji is the Tree of Life and God's People who eat its fruit. Some may not be able to believe this, but that does not change the fact that there is only one God, one Jesus, one Bible, one Spirit of the Counselor, one Holy City of New Jerusalem (Rev 3:12, Rev 4, Rev 21:2), one Promised Pastor (Rev 10, Rev 22:16), and one Place for Salvation, Shincheonji where all nations must come to worship (Rev 15:4-5). The 12 Tribes of Shincheonji are God's Kingdom and his Promised Temple. Those who come and are sealed by the Promised Pastor with the Revealed Word of Truth in the Bible at this Promised Place, Shincheonji, will become the Citizens of Heaven and they will be saved and gotten Eternal Life(Rev 21:1, Rev 7, Rev 14:1-5).
