Shincheonji Teaching: Who Persecutes and Who Receives Persecution

 

Shincheonji Teaching:

The Identities of the One who Persecutes

and the One Who Receives Persecution

Main reference: Jn  15:18~24
 
 

• Who persecutes and who receives persecution?

• Why would someone persecute and why would someone receive persecution?

• The answer is in John 15:18~24.

  

• Jn 15:18~24

“If the world hates you, keep in mind that it hated me first. 

If you belonged to the world, it would love you as its own. As it is, you do not belong to the world, but I have chosen you out of the world.  

That is why the world hates you.   

Remember what I told you: ‘A servant is not greater than his master.’   

If they persecuted me, they will persecute you also. If they obeyed my teaching, they will obey yours also.   

They will treat you this way because of my name, for they do not know the one who sent me.   

If I had not come and spoken to them, they would not be guilty of sin; but now they have no excuse for their sin.  

Whoever hates me hates my Father as well.   

If I had not done among them the works no one else did, they would not be guilty of sin. As it is, they have seen, and yet they have hated both me and my Father.

★ Those who persecute are part of the devil, whereas those who are persecuted are part of God.

Have you known this fact in the Bible?

Examining the 6,000 years of biblical history, the prophets, apostles, and Jesus whom God chose and sent were persecuted, beat to death, or were crucified by false pastors (Mt 5:12,  Mt 23:34-35; Lk 18:32-33; Acts 7:51-53).

Who are the false pastors? They are the pastors from the previous corrupt generation. They are the pastors who are controlled by the spirit of Satan. Just like Adam and Eve, Satan was the source that caused people to know good and evil.
