Roughly 50,000 people of all faiths and none have attended Bible Seminars held by Shincheonji Church of Jesus, The Temple of the Tabernacle of the Testimony (hereon ‘Shincheonji church’) throughout South Korea from April 12th-early May 2019. The purpose of these seminars was two-fold: to satisfy the thirsty hearts of those seeking for a correct understanding of the Bible and to resolve peoples’ misunderstandings about Shincheonji church.

Lectures taught about the new covenant, God’s 6000-year history, the tree of life and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, the signs of the end of the age and the faith believers should have. Clear explanations about the book of Revelation were also taught, as well as clear answers to 24 questions posed about life by the late Lee Byung-chul, the president of Samsung.

One participant, Mr. Ki-young Choi (61), said that although he had been a decades-long faithful believer in a large church in Daegu, he did not understand that the command Jesus gave to “flee to a mountain” was to move churches. Mr. In-sik Kim (63), who attended the seminar in Daejeon, said, "It was simple and crystal-clear. I’m pleased and satisfied learning about the nature of human life, pain, and death. I want to continue studying in the future."

Indeed, 70% of all participants registered for further study at the Zion Christian Mission Center - the theology arm of Shincheonji church - to learn the systematic and logical word of the Bible. Courses are taught for free at 300 locations across the country, and online courses will also be available from May.

One representative from the traditional Church, who asked for anonymity, said, "I am surprised that the number of congregation members in Korea is gradually decreasing while the number of Shincheonji church members is growing." He added, "It is particularly noteworthy that the Christian population is growing at such a high rate in Yeongnam.”

A Shincheonji church representative said, "Through these seminars, we can confirm that many people are still interested in religion. Many participants expressed their gratitude for this “best Bible lecture" and they will continue to understand the Bible through the classes taught at Zion Christian Mission Center, making it possible for them to check the word directly for themselves."

The reason why I go to Shincheonji church is because it teaches the correct explanation of the Bible from Genesis to Revelation in a logical and consistent way according to the Bible, without any external interpretations. The entire Bible, including God’s will for humanity, can be explained according to the Bible. I will be forever grateful for this.
