“This is the time of new heaven and new earth, the ‘new era.’” Shincheonji Church of Jesus’ Open Bible Seminar, Busan (26th October)

Shincheonji Church of Jesus continued to shine the light with its most recent ‘Open Bible Seminar on the Second Coming and Harvest’ hosted to an audience of 3000 pastors, theology students, seminarians and people of all faiths and none in the main auditorium and hallway of Shincheonji Church’s Andrew Tribe Training Institute in Dong district, Busan, on 26th October. The purpose of the nationwide seminar is to testify about the promise of Jesus’ second coming, as recorded in the New Testament of the Bible - specifically the book of Revelation - and the promised harvest, which have both appeared in reality today.

To accommodate the huge demand of 30,000 seminar registrations, Shincheonji Church of Jesus has been opening its branch churches to livestream its seminars, whilst also livestreaming on YouTube and Naver TV (links below). Large numbers are gathering today in response to a desire for ‘truth’ in an age of increasing secularism and deep despondency with the established church in Korea.

The opening seminar - held in Seoul on 4th October to an audience of 3000 who had gathered through word of mouth, residential leaflets, newspaper advertisements and online correspondence - was followed by seminars in Incheon (2000), Daejeon (3000) and Daegu (2000). In Busan, 1000 were seated in the main auditorium with a further 2000 watching live from Lotte Hotel Busan Crystal Ballroom.
The seminar in Busan began with traditional Korean music performance, band performance and a time of praise. Then, as with all seminars, Man Hee Lee, chairman of Shincheonji Church of Jesus and Jesus’ promised messenger (pastor), who has seen and heard all the promised events at the location of the events, began to testify the word of the Bible (refer to Revelation 22:8, 16). He exposed the decrepit condition of religion, saying, “Believers in Christianity, Buddhism, and Confucianism fall into their own thoughts and ruin, and do not perceive the present era. Everyone wants to go to heaven, but there is such little understanding about heaven because many Christians do not live a life of faith inside the Bible, but outside of it.” Chairman Lee emphasised the importance of discerning one's Biblical teachings, saying: “In the Bible, after King Solomon betrayed God by worshipping gentile gods, Israel was destroyed by Satan. Today the whole world is drunk with the 'maddening wine'. Therefore, we must listen to the voice of God and decide whether we’ll live a life of faith inside God or outside in the world.” Chairman Lee concluded his one-hour sermon saying that the book of Revelation, which records the mysteries of the Bible, contains a promise which people must believe in when the fulfilment of that promise appears. One can then become a child of God and is qualified to enter heaven.

These are some of guests’ testimonies shared following the seminar in Busan:-

Mr. Joh|Pastor of a Presbyterian church in Busan
He said emphatically, “To be frank, I thought that Shincheonji Church of Jesus preyed on other churches. However, I also thought that if Shincheonji Church of Jesus did indeed do this, then it must possess some powerful and clear ‘truth’. So I knocked on the doors of Shincheonji Church of Jesus with conviction. It’s now time for Korean churches to repent. Common people think ‘repentance’ is just asking forgiveness for their sins, but it’s not. It’s actually changing their own thoughts.”

Mrs. Choi|Devoted 20-year Catholic
“One day while cleaning my son’s room, I found lots of white clothes. So I searched his room and found materials belonging to Shincheonji Church of Jesus. I googled the name because I wanted to know what religion he believes in, and I found out it is a cult. So I came in person because I wanted to listen to and distinctively verify the words of the chairman. As I listened, he explained the Bible very well through the Bible alone, which is very different from the church I’ve been attending. I thought that ‘believing is salvation’ but I realized how important the word is. I heard that he will also host an Open Bible Seminar in Gwangju, so I will unhesitatingly encourage people to come and listen to him.”

Mr. Kim
(As he frowned) “I heard that Shincheonji Church of Jesus carries out coercive conversion programs, but it turns out that the established churches lied and made false reports to block people from going to Shincheonji Church of Jesus. I’ve been unknowingly persecuting Shincheonji Church of Jesus by listening to what other people say. I realize that I must possess faith with the correct knowledge.”

Ms. Park
“Today I have finally understood why so many young people go to Shincheonji Church of Jesus. It was amazing to see the whole Bible, especially the Book of Revelation which I have always wondered about, testified clearly. I will apply for their follow-up course and learn the Bible.”

To date, roughly 700 pastors have attended the five seminars. It is no small matter to hear pastors in South Korea speak positively about the Open Bible Seminar because many pastors are known to add their own interpretation to the book of Revelation and teach it to their congregation members. According to the Bible, one will not attain salvation by doing so (see Revelation 22:18-19).

The seminar in Daegu concluded with an explanation of the practice of ‘coercive conversion’; a vile programme implemented by many pastors throughout Korea that forces believers of minority denominations to convert their faith through abduction which, in the worst case, has resulted in murder. To date, two women - both believers at Shincheonji Church of Jesus - were killed through this 'coercive conversion' programme and over 1300 believers have fallen victim to it.

Following the seminar, participants registered for Shincheonji Church of Jesus’ free Bible study course where they can gain a deeper understading of God's plan and purpose for their life and the world. God promises to create a world without death, crying, mourning or pain (Revelation 21:3-4).

If you also have questions about God and life, wonder why your prayers are unanswered, the reason for birth, ageing, sickness and death, Jesus' second coming or want to understand the Bible from Genesis to Revelation, you can also register your interest for Shincheonji Church of Jesus’ free online Bible Study Course, delivered by experienced lecturers
Bible Study Reference (Recommender) 061102

Next month, 100,000 people, who will have completed Shincheonji Church of Jesus' Bible study, will graduate into Shincheonji Church of Jesus. It will become a tremendous graduation of light. It is no exaggeration to say that Shincheonji Church of Jesus is the only place that possesses the truth of the Bible and the path to heaven and salvation. It will continue to spread the truth of the Bible through the upcoming final seminar in Gwangju and through their online and offline Bible study courses so that all people everywhere can come and learn this greatest truth without cost.

After the final seminar in Gwangju, the 12 tribe leaders and branch church leaders of Shincheonji Church of Jesus will host their own seminar within their respective regions in Korea.

Founded in 1984, Shincheonji Church of Jesus (full name ‘Shincheonji Church of Jesus, The Temple of the Tabernacle of the Testimony’) has been growing by 20-30,000 members yearly over the last five years, but is expected to grow by a staggering 100,000 members in 2019 alone. The reason for its explosive growth is that Shincheonji church is promised in the Bible. ‘Shin-cheon-shin-ji’ (in full) translates from Korean into 'New Heaven New Earth', which is promised to appear in Revelation 21 as the place where God will end all death, mourning, crying and pain. It is named ‘The Temple of the Tabernacle of the Testimony’ because it is where the plain testimony (evidence) of the promised events in Revelation are explained through one person, who is Jesus’ promised messenger (pastor) who has seen and heard all the promised events at the location of the events (see Revelation 22:8, 16). Man Hee Lee, chairman of Shincheonji Church of Jesus and Jesus’ promised messenger, is making this known to people throughout South Korea, according to the promise of the Bible.
