Why does Coercive Conversion Education, in the Korean Christian society?

For what?

Are Kidnapping, Assaulting, Threatening, even Beating Someone

What Other Evidence Do Christians Need, as Followers of Jesus?

Collective Madness towards Shincheonji—the Christian Society of Korea Loses its Sense

Coercive Conversion Education,

Bringing Murder 

 

A few Christian media networks and pastors of certain denominations have been attacking Shincheonji Church of Jesus, the Temple of the Tabernacle of the Testimony, to a level of collective madness. Such attackers have been spreading irresponsible and unspeakable rumors though they claim to be the people of faith, even inciting murders of the members of Shincheonji.

October of 2007, a tragedy of murder took place caused by coercive conversion education. Instigated by a conversion pastor, Ms. Kim of Beolgyo, Jeonnam, was confined at a motel receiving a coercive conversion education until the police freed her.

But her husband, who led her to the conversion education suggested by the conversion pastor, continued to use physical and verbal violence against her. After the failed attempt at the coercive conversion education and their ultimate divorce, the husband ended up killing Ms. Kim with a blunt object by striking her five times.

Regarding this terrible murder, another pastor brought it up at a certain Christian Internet news column with puzzlement. The content of the posting, which discussed how the murder could not be justified, and the content of CBS’s programming are in the same context. How can it be justified to confine, press, ridicule, threaten, and use violence against a person for the reason of being a member of Shincheonji Church?

 

Shincheonji hereby strongly urges for an open debate to the public for the Korean Christian society to find its true role of religion and the believers, and to distinguish good and evil by determining which side (between Shincheonji and the Korean Christian society) is carrying on its correct life of faith based on the Bible.
