Shincheonji Church of Jesus' Open Bible Seminar, Busan: "The Word was Alive!"

by - 18:02

Roughly 50,000 people of all faiths and none attended a nationwide Open Bible Seminar series hosted by Shincheonji Church of Jesus, The Temple of the Tabernacle of The Testimony (hereon ‘Shincheonji church’) earlier in 2019. The nationwide Open Bible Seminar sought to teach the true meaning of the Bible, based purely on the Bible, and to resolve existing misunderstandings about Shincheonji church. Content included teachings on God’s 6000-year history, the identity of the tree of life and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil that appear in Genesis, the signs of the end times and the new promise recorded within the book of Revelation. Answers to the 24 questions about life posed by the late Lee Byung-chul, former CEO of Samsung, were also given.
Following on from the success of the Open Bible Seminar, further seminars have been held throughout the Republic of Korea. The most recent was held for the second time in Busan - located on the southeastern tip of the Korean Peninsula - to an audience of 250 citizens hungry for an understanding of the Bible. The seminar taught on the beginnings of Shincheonji church since its founding in March 1984 up until the present day.

Instructor Tae-hoon Kim emphasised that the head of the church is Jesus Christ and the author of the Bible is God. He said, "Shincheonji church is the place where the prophecy of Revelation is being fulfilled, as promised. This fulfilment is taking place today. Shincheonji Church of Jesus is the new heaven and new earth of Revelation 21, which God has promised to dwell." He continued, saying, "God promised that the first heaven and first earth would disappear, and that a new heaven and new earth would be created. This prophecy, promised by God since creation, is being fulfilled today through the book of Revelation. Amidst persecution by the world, it continues to spread the gospel throughout the world."

One participant, Mrs. Sun-kyung Kim, who had been invited by a family member, said, "I was deceived by peoples' false words about Shincheonji church, saying that it is a heresy and the cause of various social problems. The image of Shincheonji that I now have is not the same."

Roughly 30,000 participants (60%) who attended the nationwide Open Bible Seminar in early 2019 registered for further study at Shincheonji church’s Zion Mission Center, the Bible-teaching institute that provides a free intensive Bible study programme at one of its 300 centres worldwide. By the end of 2019, 100,000 people will have completed this course and will become congregation members of Shincheonji church. At such a rate, the number of congregation members of Shincheonji church will exceed 300,000. It is only a matter of time before large seminars are also held overseas that feed the words of the Bible. It is very hopeful.
