Let's correct the misunderstandings made against Shincheonji Church

It is becoming increasingly well-known throughout the Christian press in the Republic of Korea and abroad that, for many years, the Christian Broadcasting Station (CBS) has been allying with pastors of the established Korean Church - in particular the Christian Council of Korea (CCK) - to slander Shincheonji Church of Jesus (hereon Shincheonji Church). The CCK grossly distorts the words and doctrines taught in Shincheonji Church and has disseminated lies, throwing religious circles into confusion. These are a few of the most common misunderstandings about Shincheonji Church of Jesus.

▲ If we go to Shincheonji Church of Jesus, we won’t die

This false conception has emerged because people do not clearly understand the hope of 'eternal life’. God promised about 'eternal life' 66 times in the Bible (Psalm 133:3, Titus 1:2-3, to name just a few verses). Only God knows the exact day and hour when His promise will be fulfilled.

▲ Shincheonji Church of Jesus deifies its head pastor as ‘the Counselor' and 'the Holy Spirit’

False. Shincheonji Church teaches that the owner of religion ('re-ligare' in Latin) is ‘God’ who wills to 're-connect' to His creation. If one perceives the teaching of spirit and flesh taught at Shincheonji church, one will know that its head pastor is neither God nor the Holy Spirit, but flesh through whom the spirit of God works. Shincheonji Church congregation members listen to and follow the words he speaks because he is Jesus Christ's promised messenger appointed and commanded by Jesus Christ himself to testify to the world's churches about all the events of Revelation he has seen and heard (Rv 22:8,16). The secrets of the meaning of Revelation have been made known to him and he has the words of revelation which pastors from the established churches do not have. To avoid any misunderstandings, Shincheonji Church repeatedly urges students to check their teachings against the Bible.

▲ Only 144,000 people will be redeemed

False. In Rv 7, it is written that there are 144,000 priests and a great multitude dressed in white robes who will live with God. God's will is 'the healing of all nations’ (Rv 22:2). His will is for all people to be saved and to come to a knowledge of the truth (1Tim 2:4).

For a more detailed understanding, please read the link below. In spite of continual persecution against Shincheonji Church both in Korea and abroad, Shincheonji church continues to grow. As it approaches its 35th year since its painful and humble beginnings (March 1984), it has grown from a handful of believers to over 200,000 today with an average of 2000 coming into the church monthly.
