[Shincheonji Answer 24] World End, Generation End

<Shincheonji Answer 24>

The World End,

A Generation End

 

 

• Mr. Byoung Chul Lee, Question 24.

Is the world coming to an end?

• Shincheonji Answer 24.

The world does not come to an end. There is, however, an end to a generation. In Genesis chapter one, there is a creation of heaven and earth; and in the New Testament, in Revelation chapter 21, it is written the first heaven and first earth disappear and a new heaven and new earth are created. It is written because heaven and God come to this place, there will be no more pain and death. What does this mean? How can the people of this world know God’s will?

Because people take the Bible passages literally, they say the world is coming to an end or there is going to be a World War III, but this is not true. When Adam’s world became corrupt, God went to Noah, who was Adam’s tenth descendant, and created a new world. When Noah’s world became corrupt, God went to Abraham, who was Noah’s eleventh descendant, and made a promise. Four hundred years later, God appointed Moses and brought Noah’s world to an end. When Abraham’s descendants, the Israelites, became corrupt, God went to Jesus and brought Physical Israel and the Law to an end (Mt 11:13; Lk 16:16).

The path, which was established through the First Coming of Jesus, comes to an end at the Second Coming because it also became corrupt. The re-creation of God’s new kingdom is referred to as a “new heaven and new earth.” This earth will not disappear and people will not disappear. Then what does it mean?

During the First Coming, Jesus did not sow physical seeds but sowed the spiritual seed of God’s word (Lk 8:11). At the Second Coming, the fruits which have grown from the seed are gathered to create God’s new kingdom and people. This is the new heaven and new earth. The passing away of the first heaven and earth refers to the churches, pastors and church members coming to an end. It does not mean the world will come to an end. It means the first heaven, in the religious sense, comes to an end and the new heaven, in the religious sense, is created. Within the world of religion, no logical rhetoric of this world, which is not of the Bible, could be acknowledged.

People, who speak on the topic of religion, should not speak through the thoughts of men but through the promise of the holy spirit. Because Mr. Lee saw things from a physical point of view, he misunderstood. If one views these questions from a religious point of view and from the viewpoint of heaven, I believe they would see Mr. Lee was speaking based from the viewpoint of the world.
I, the writer, have brought the food which does not perish, the food which leads to eternal life.
I will give it for free to those who want it!

There are many other things in the Bible besides the questions Mr. Lee asked which Christians should know in order to receive salvation. I want to make this revelation known.



※ Rev 22:16-17
 “I, Jesus, have sent my angel to give you  this testimony for the churches. I am the Root and the Offspring of David, and the bright Morning Star.”  The Spirit and the bride say, “Come!” And let the one who hears say, “Come!” Let the one who is thirsty come; and let the one who wishes take the free gift of the water of life.
 

[Shincheonji Answer 23] All Believers Believe in the God Written in the Bible

<Shincheonji Answer 23>

All Believers Believe in the God

Written about in the Bible

 

 

Not only Catholics, but all believers believe in the God written about in the Bible.

It is not about believing in the things of this world, nor is it about interfering with the things of this world.

We must become a nation and people who live well as a result of receiving the blessings of heaven.

 

• Mr. Byoung Chul Lee, Question 23.

Some Catholic organizations conclude the employees are exploited by the employers and encourage businesses to divide and collapse. Is this denying the system and benefits of capitalism?

• Shincheonji Answer 23.

You have misunderstood. Not only Catholics, but all believers believe in the God written about in the Bible. It is not about believing in the things of this world, nor is it about interfering with the things of this world. It is possible some people, who follow communist ideologies, have infiltrated into the private business sector. However, I do not think this is in accordance to the Catholic doctrines.

We must become a nation and people who live well as a result of receiving the blessings of heaven. Businesses must exist for people to live. Before calling someone who divides and destroys businesses a communist, it could be said they are carrying out the actions of the devil.

[Shincheonji Answer 22] Single & Only One

Shincheonji Answer 22

Single & Only One

 

 There is only one promised pastor in the New Testament;
and also only one person who received the revelation, the word of life.
 

 

 

• Mr. Byoung Chul Lee, Question 22.

What is a priest? Why is he single?
What is a nun? Why is she single?

• Shincheonji Answer 22.

I think priests and nuns are in a similar position as ministers and evangelists. There is a saying which says, it is better to live as a single person in one’s latter years, but Paul was single for his religious beliefs. The reason he remained single was so he could carry out a true life of faith and to do the work of the true Lord (1 Cor 7:8-9). However, this does not mean God wants to destroy the basis of creation (male and female).

Amongst all the religions in this world, I praise the way Catholics lead their lives of faith. Even though it is only outward, they have an ascetic mindset. They would be like angels if they only had God’s word within them. Unfortunately, they do not have the word.

There is only one promised pastor in the New Testament; and also only one person who received the revelation, the word of life.

How can the people of this world know this?
However, those who pray will be able to find him.

[Shincheonji Answer 21] Standard of Religion, Bible

[Shincheonji Answer]

The True Standard
for People of Religion
is Bible!

 The true standard for people of religion is not that.

It is the Bible.

The Bible is God.
 

• Mr. Byoung Chul Lee, Question 21.

They say the decision made by the Roman pope is infallible. He is also a human being so how can he claim such self-righteousness?

• Shincheonji Answer 21. 

I think you are talking about the authority to make a decision inside the pope’s organization (Catholic Church). I think the authority was given to the pope because whether it is about one thing or another a decision has to be made.

The true standard for people of religion is not that. It is the Bible. The Bible is God. The decisions should be made based on God’s standards. There is no perfection before the new generation born of God’s seed and the Father of heaven come. Everyone must know the promised will of the Bible and speak accordingly. I do not think it is something man could judge.

[Shincheonji Answer 20] To Be Renew the World

 

<Shincheonji Answer 20>

To Be Renew the World

 

If the society of unbelievers and the Christian world become corrupt and as a result,

the world is filled with unbelief and crimes,
the Creator would destroy that world.

• Mr. Byoung Chul Lee, Question 20.

Why are there so many crimes and suffering people
even though there are many churches
and Christians in our country?

• Shincheonji Answer 20.

This is similar to [Shincheonji Answer 17] Proper Stage of Religion (Ref ☞ http://shincheonjiaroma.blogspot.kr/2016/02/shincheonji-answer-17-proper-stage-of.html).
The Bible says Christians become more evil when they do not follow the principles of religion. It also says, when a person betrays, more evil spirits enter into the person (Mt 12:43-45).

Only one-third of the Korean population are Christians and more than two-thirds are unbelievers. It is not just the Christians who are at fault.

If the society of unbelievers and the Christian world become corrupt and as a result, the world is filled with unbelief and crimes, the Creator would destroy that world.

At this time, the new heaven and new earth will be created and the true culture of heaven will renew the world.

[Shincheonji Answer 19] Catholic Population & Communist Nations

 

[Shincheonji Answer 19]

Catholic Population & Communist Nations

 

 

It says in the Bible, the creation was subjected to frustration,

not by its own choice, but by the will of the one who subjected it.

<Shincheonji Answer 19th> It says in the Bible, the creation was subjected to frustration, not by its own choice, but by the will of the one who subjected it.
-Rom 8:20-22

• Mr. Lee Byoungchul, Question 19.

They say Catholicism and communism are extreme opposites. Why then did nations with a large Catholic population become communist? For example: Poland and other Eastern European countries, Nicaragua.

• Shincheonji Answer 19

It was not something the Catholics wanted. It says in the Bible, the creation was subjected to frustration, not by its own choice, but by the will of the one who subjected it. What creation hopes for is liberation from its bondage to decay and be brought into the glorious freedom of the children of God (Rom 8:20-21). All believers know those who are under communism are under pressure, groan and suffer; and we groan with them. We pray to God for their freedom.




<Shincheonji Answer 19th> It says in the Bible,,,,



※ Rom 8:20-22

For the creation was subjected to frustration, not by its own choice, but by the will of the one who subjected it, in hope that the creation itself will be liberated from its bondage to decay and brought into the freedom and glory of the children of God.   We know that the whole creation has been groaning as in the pains of childbirth right up to the present time.

[Shincheonji Answer 18] Path of World of Faith

 

<Shincheonji Answer 18>

The Path of Faith World 

 

 

• Mr. Lee Byoungchul, Question 18.

Believers sometimes become fanatical.

What is the difference between a communist being fanatical about communism and a believer being fanatical about religion?

• Shincheonji Answer 18.

Whether a person is fanatical about communism or about a life of faith, it is the same in terms of being fanatical. However the content and purpose of what the person is fanatical about are different.

 

When believers come to know themselves, the world, the devil and the true Creator, they escape from evil and walk on the right path.

 

On the other hand, those who follow communism do not follow it because they want to.

Instead, they are forced to follow it by the communist authorities.

They lose their freedom and are dragged by it.

 

In terms of the world of faith, the origin itself is a different path.

  

 

[Shincheonji Answer 17] Proper Stage of Religion

[Shincheonji Answer 17]

Proper Stage of Religion

 

• Mr. Lee Byoungchul, Question 17.

If 99% of the Italian population are Catholics, why are there so many crimes and disorder in the society? Why can’t they set a good example for the world?

• Shincheonji Answer 17.

I think the reason why Mr. Lee said this is because he did not know about religion.

He did not know about the two kinds of gods, the Creator’s position and which god controls this world. Not only Italy, but all mankind are in the same situation.

When the Creator, the God of heaven comes, the god of evil will rebel even more.

The Italian people try to carry out a proper life of faith and because the pope is there, the god of evil works all the harder.

I think even if Mr. Lee Byeongcheol saw this, he could not understand; but if he had reached the proper stage of religion, he would have known.

Not all people of religion are people of religion.

Only those who act according to God’s will are the true people of religion.

[Shincheonji Answer 15] Teaching from God

[Shincheonji Answer 15]

Teaching from God

 

The teaching from the true God is not about wealth and fame here

on earth but it is about religion and giving life to people.

It is also about leading people to heaven instead of hell.

 

 

• Mr. Lee Byoungchul, Question 15.

There are many who are rich even if they don’t carry out a life of faith.
There are also evil people who enjoy the riches and comforts of this life.
What is the teaching from God concerning this?

• Shincheonji Answer 15

No matter how much you eat in a dream, you don’t feel full when you wake up. Similarly, riches and the comforts of this life don’t last forever.

 

What you possess are the three meals you have eaten, and after death, you have nothing. We come to the earth with nothing in our hands and we leave this world with nothing.

 

Even if a person gains the whole world, what good is it if he cannot protect his life (Mt 16:26)?

 

The teaching from the true God is not about wealth and fame here on earth but it is about religion and giving life to people. It is also about leading people to heaven instead of hell.

 

 

 ※  Mt 16:26

What good will it be for someone to gain the whole world, yet forfeit their soul? Or what can anyone give in exchange for their soul?

 

 

[Shincheonji Answer 14] After People Died

[Shincheonji Answer 14]

After People Died

 

The spirits and souls of people who have died do not die,

but go either to heaven or hell??  

   

When a person dies, this person’s spirit does not go looking for heaven;

heaven and God come to this earth (Mt 6:10; Rv 1:4, 4:8)!!!

 

• Mr. Lee Byoungchul, Question 14.

How can we believe the spirits and souls of people who have died do not die, but go either to heaven or hell?

• Shincheonji Answer 14.

There are times when a person’s spirit meets the spirits of dead parents, siblings, friends or celebrities in a dream, when one is half asleep, or in a vision.

This proves the spirits of dead people exist just as my spirit exists in a dream. When a person dies, this person’s spirit does not go looking for heaven; heaven and God come to this earth (Jn 14:2-3; Rv 21:1-7).

When this time comes, the living and the dead will be judged. They will be judged according to what they have done as recorded in the books (Bible) and will be sentenced to hell or heaven (Revelation 20:11-15). Ask a corpse. He will not be able to answer because he does not have the spirit and the soul within him.

• Matthew 6:10

your kingdom come,   
your will be done,   
on earth as it is in heaven.

• Revelation 1:4

John, To the seven churches in the province of Asia: Grace and peace to you from him who is, and who was, and who is to come, and from the seven spirits before his throne,

• Revelation 4:8

Each of the four living creatures had six wings and was covered with eyes all around, even under its wings. Day and night they never stop saying: “ ‘Holy, holy, holy is the Lord God Almighty,’  who was, and is, and is to come.”

• Revelation 20:11-15

Then I saw a great white throne and him who was seated on it. The earth and the heavens fled from his presence, and there was no place for them. And I saw the dead, great and small, standing before the throne, and books were opened. Another book was opened, which is the book of life. The dead were judged according to what they had done as recorded in the books. The sea gave up the dead that were in it, and death and Hades gave up the dead that were in them, and each person was judged according to what they had done. Then death and Hades were thrown into the lake of fire. The lake of fire is the second death. Anyone whose name was not found written in the book of life was thrown into the lake of fire.

[Shincheonji Answer 13] Is Catholic Cult?

 

[Shincheonji Answer 13]

Is Catholic Cult?

 

• Mr. Lee Byoungchul, Question 13.

If the purpose of religion is to help people live morally, then why do Catholics consider their religion as the only true religion and other religions as cults?

Whether a person is Catholic or of another religion,
if this person is not born again, he is in a cult.

• Shincheonji Answer 13.

Whether a person is Catholic or of another religion, if this person is not born again, he is in a cult.

It is written in the Bible this kind of situation will exist at the Lord’s Second Coming.

People who are born with the genes of Adam (those with original sin and increasing amounts of hereditary and personal sins) are all the same.

Their seed is a physical seed, which is without the holy spirit; and the seed of the heavenly gospel is God’s seed (Lk 8:11).

Anyone who is born again through God’s seed will have his sins atoned for by Jesus’ blood.

• Luke 8:11

This is the meaning of the parable:

The seed is the word of God.

 

• Matthew 1:21

She will give birth to a son, and you are to give him the name Jesus, because he will save his people from their sins.”

 

• Revelation 5:9

And they sang a new song, saying: “You are worthy to take the scroll and to open its seals, because you were slain, and with your blood you purchased for God persons from every tribe and language and people and nation

 

• Revelation 1:5

and from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, the firstborn from the dead, and the ruler of the kings of the earth. To him who loves us and has freed us from our sins by his blood

 

 

[Shincheonji Answer 12] God’s Will and Qualification to Enter the Kingdom of Heaven

[Shincheonji Answer 12]

God’s Will and Qualification to Enter the Kingdom of Heaven

 

We must act in accordance to the Bible.
As it is written, in order to enter into heaven, one must act according to God’s will (Mt 7:21) and be born again with water (word: seed) and the holy spirit (Jn 3:5; 1 Pt 1:23).

It is by being born again through God’s word, which is the seed (Lk 8:11), by having God’s holy spirit with you, by being sealed with the word of revelation from heaven, and by having one’s name written in the book of life, one is able to become a part of God’s family and enter into heaven (Rv 20:15, 21:27).
 

We must act in accordance to the Bible!!

• Mr. Lee Byoungchul, Question 12.

If one does not believe in Catholicism, will he still enter into heaven? There are many good people among those who do not have a religion, atheists and people of other religions. Where
will they go after death?

• Shincheonji Answer 12.

This question comes from darkness (ignorance). Even if you do good deeds and do volunteer activities, you cannot enter into heaven unless you are born again. People think if you are good, give a lot of donations and attend church diligently, you will be saved. It’s not true. We must act in accordance to the Bible.

As it is written, in order to enter into heaven, one must act according to God’s will (Mt 7:21) and be born again with water (word: seed) and the holy spirit (Jn 3:5; 1 Pt 1:23). It is by being born again through God’s word, which is the seed (Lk 8:11), by having God’s holy spirit with you, by being sealed with the word of revelation from heaven, and by having one’s name written in the book of life, one is able to become a part of God’s family and enter into heaven (Rv 20:15, 21:27). In other words, a person must be born again through God’s spiritual seed and God’s spirit in order to go to heaven. What this means is the people of religion today do not have God’s spirit and God’s seed.

God’s Will and Those Who Are Qualified to Enter the Kingdom of Heaven

Main references: Mt 7:21, Jn 3:5, Rv 22:18-19

Where is the kingdom of heaven? What is the will of God? And who is qualified to enter the kingdom of heaven? 

The kingdom of heaven is where God dwells. God’s will is a promise, a prophecy. And those who are qualified to enter the kingdom of heaven are those who are reborn of water and the Spirit according to God’s will (Jn 3:5).

The Spirit is the spirit of God, and the water is the Word (Am 8:11-13), that is, the seed of God. Before the time of Jesus, the chosen people were born of flesh and of natural descent. But after the time of Jesus, they were no longer born of flesh and of natural descent, but born of God, becoming the children of God (Jn 1:13). These are the children of God who are reborn, and this is God’s will (Mt 13:38).

Jesus brought the seed of God into the world and sowed it. He said that this seed is the secret of the kingdom of heaven (Mt 13:10-11). About 2,600 years ago, God promised through Jeremiah that He will sow two kinds of seeds, and Jesus came later to sow it as God promised. However, the devil came to the very field Jesus sowed his seed and planted his own (Jer 31:27, Mt 13:24-25). Thus, two kinds of seeds have been growing together in one field until the time of harvest. But at the time of harvest, only those who are born of God’s seed that was sown by Jesus will be harvested. Those who remain in the field are born of the devil’s seed. Being harvested or not shows whether someone is a child with God’s seed or a child with the devil’s seed.

Again, God’s will is the promise of the New Testament, the entire Book of Revelation. Because it is the will of God, anyone who adds or takes words away from the book of Revelation cannot enter the kingdom of heaven (Rv 22:18-19). This is why Jesus said, “Blessed are those who read, hear, and keep the words of this prophecy (Rv 1:3).”

Today, some declare war while others proclaims peace, and this work has lasted for 6,000 years. Jesus proclaimed peace in Jerusalem (Lk 19:38-42), but the pastors in Jerusalem declared war. War is murder and comes from the devil, but peace is life and comes from God.

The false pastors, the group of the dragon who waged war, are victorious in Revelation 13, but are defeated in Revelation 12. The dragon is seized, thrown into the Abyss, and locked up in Revelation 20. This is God’s victory. The kingdom of God is created henceforth, and the era of His reign finally begins.

How can congregation members of the earth enter the kingdom of heaven where God and Jesus dwell?

They must learn from the pastor who received and ate the open scroll in Revelation 10, accept the testimony of the messenger Jesus sends for the churches in Revelation 22:16, and go to the one who overcomes, whom God, the kingdom of heaven, and Jesus are with (Rv 3:12). This is the way to the kingdom of heaven and to God, and this is the will of God (Mt 7:21). John 14:16-17 and 26 says that the Counselor, or the Spirit of truth, dwells in a person just like God and Jesus do, and in John 14:23-24, the Spirit works through that person. The one who understands, believes, and takes part in this is acting according to God’s will.

People persecute without knowing the Bible or understanding its meaning, like the Pharisees, because an evil spirit lives in them. A true religion has prophecy and fulfillment; it has promises of a kingdom, people, and a pastor, and the corresponding physical entities as the fulfillment. On the contrary, false religions do not have any prophecies or fulfillment, and they have no promised pastor. Many think that the teachings of men and worldly cultures are religions, but they are merely cultures of the world.  Moreover, if a believer does not understand the scripture of the true religion—the religion that has a promised pastor and prophecies and fulfillment in its scripture—he still cannot be considered as a true believer.

God promised in the New Testament that His seed will be sown, that the fruits will be harvested and sealed to establish the twelve tribes, and that they will be the priests and a great multitude in white who are redeemed by Jesus’ blood.

God’s will and purpose is to create the twelve tribes, His kingdom and people, as recorded in the Bible.  A religion or its believers cannot be regarded as true if they do not have this truth.

Among the many religious scriptures, only the Christian Bible has prophecies and fulfillment of a kingdom, people, and a pastor. Catholicism, Protestantism, Lutheranism, the Anglican Church, and the Orthodox Church are factions of Christianity that use the Bible to carry out their life of faith.

However, just as it is recorded in Revelation 5, no one from these groups has been able to understand the meaning of the New Testament prophecies. The only one who understands them is the promised pastor of this era. Except for the Christian Bible, the religious scriptures of the world are not promises made through a revelation from the true God. They are merely teachings of the earth, products of arbitrary cultures of the world.

True religion belongs to the heavens. It is not a worldly knowledge or a culture of the earth, but the Word of God that is learned from God. Today one can only receive salvation if he believes and keeps the promises of heaven. And God and the Bible promise that there will be a kingdom, people, and a pastor of God. 

Jesus’ blood was shed 2,000 years ago to redeem the promised kingdom and people from sin. This is the promise of God, and they are the kingdom, people, and pastor born of God’s seed. They are the people who are qualified to receive salvation.

[Shincheonji Answer 11] Characteristics and Kinds of Religion

[Shincheonji Answer 11]

Characteristics and Kinds of Religion

 

 

Religions have expressed themselves in different time periods, may be different;
but it is in essence referring to the same thing and in this sense, it is one religion

• Mr. Lee Byoungchul, Question 11th.

What kinds of religion are there and what are its characteristics?

• Shincheonji Answer 11th.

Religions have expressed themselves
in different time periods, may be different;
but it is in essence referring to the same
thing and in this sense, it is one religion

In the east, there are the three paths–Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism. There are many religions which have broken off from these three paths but have similar teachings. The way these three religions–Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism–have expressed themselves in different time periods, may be different; but it is in essence referring to the same thing and in this sense, it is one religion.

The text for Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism, is a record of what people heard and saw from a divine being, but no one has been able to understand the meaning of it until today. There are other religions such as Islam, Hinduism and Calvinism, but the founders of these religions were not people God had chosen and appointed. They sought for God on their own will and with a religious mindset, they received and recorded the revelation from heaven; but no one knows its meaning.

For example, Buddha started to walk on the path of religion because he wanted to know why people were born only to grow old, become sick and die. He received revelation and recorded it, but he could not understand the meaning. What he did know was Jesus would come. He said when Jesus comes, what he taught would be like a lamp without the oil, and he wrote the path of Buddhism would come to an end five hundred years later. Jesus came approximately five hundred years after Buddha. Even if Buddhism existed after Jesus came, it had become nothing but a lamp without the oil. What kind of spirit would be reigning in the midst of this kind of darkness? There is a saying: “Devils move at night.” The Zen Master Seongcheol said he met Buddha in hell and in 1987 on Buddha’s Birthday, he made the following confession in a Buddhist literary text: “Satan, welcome. I respect and worship you. You were originally Buddha,” [Choseon Ilbo 23 April 1987 p. 7, Gyunghyang News 23 April 1987 p.9, The Librarian’s Office of the Supreme Patriarch of the Jogye Order of Korean Buddhism (Keunbit Chongseo 1) Seoul Sashiyeon,1994, p. 56-59].

The words of the Zen Master Seongcheol are correct. He did not say this because he had become senile. Why do Buddhists continually follow this religion even if they know this fact? The people of Judaism killed the messengers sent by God (Mt 23:34-47; Acts 7:51-53; 1 Th 2:15). God sent his son Jesus, but they killed him as well because he was the heir. The reason why they killed him was so they could keep the church to themselves (Lk 20). How can there be grace and salvation in this kind of situation? This is the characteristic of religion.

The Bible says true salvation lies with the promised pastor and the twelve tribes, which is created once again at the time of the Lord’s Second Coming.

[Shincheonji Answer 10] Spirit and Soul

 

[Shincheonji Answer 10]
Are the Spirit and Soul?

 

 

 

• Mr. Lee Byoungchul, Question 10.

What are the spirit and soul?

• Shincheonji Answer 10.

The question regarding the spirit and the soul is both easy and difficult at the same time. How can a person, whose entrance to heaven is blocked because of sin, understand the spirit and soul? It also should be known there are two kinds of entities, whose spirit and soul, are united. How can people of this world understand this?

Wherever there are water and light, there is also a soul. This soul is the life of all creation. However, the spirit is an entity who controls the life of all creation. If necessary, there are times when a spirit works through living things (such as animals or plants) besides people; but generally, this is not the case. People have souls, but the question is to whom does the spirit and soul belong?

What I am saying is there are two kinds of gods (spirits). Mr. Lee Byungcheol has dealt with people who have a lot of money and power. How much have you dealt with God or the poor? There is an old song with lyrics that say, “A person who has possessions but cannot use them is the beggar amongst beggars, but the person who does not have anything, yet lives well, is the hero of immortal rivers and mountains.” How much money and power do you have right now, Mr. Lee Byungcheol? You don’t have anything. Whether poor or rich, are they not the same?

Why did people, who have the spirit and soul, kill all the messengers God sent for the past six thousand years? To who do the spirits and souls of those who kill belong, which would cause them to commit such evil? The answer lies in the fact that they do not belong to God.

A spirit could go out and wander around in a dream but the soul is with the body. A spirit can even fly. This spirit controls and leads the soul, that is, the living person. Not only this, the spirit could even meet the spirit of a dead person. When a person dies, the spirit and the soul leave the flesh. If my spirit unites with the spirit of evil, then it is thrown into a chaotic state; and even if I know it is wrong, I could do an evil act because of the spirit of evil, which has captured me.

The soul and spirit is the life and mind within the body!

[Shincheonji Answer 9] Is Religion?

<Shincheonji Answer 9>

Is Religion?

 

Religion means “highest teaching.” Because it teaches people what is seen in heaven, it is the teaching of God.

The meaning of the word religion is the teaching which reconnects the lifeline previously cut off.

It is not teachings based on the level of this world, but based on the level of heaven. 

• Mr. Lee Byoungchul, Question 9th.

What is religion?

Why do humans need it?

• Shincheonji Answer 9th.

In the Western world, jonggyo (Korean word for religion) is referred to as religion. What does it mean? Religion means “highest teaching.” Because it teaches people what is seen in heaven, it is the teaching of God. The meaning of the word religion is the teaching which reconnects the lifeline previously cut off. It is not teachings based on the level of this world, but based on the level of heaven.

Why do humans need this teaching?

Whether the child is good or bad, what kind of parents would not wish for their child to receive a good education? The Creator is the Father of all creation and all creation, which has been created, is his children.

What heaven wants to make known is not the things of this world but the things of heaven and the things of God.

The Bible contains contents such as the history of believing in God, teachings, prophecy and fulfillment. Religion teaches these things, and in particular, with regards to creation, prophecy and fulfillment, they are fulfilled according to what is seen in heaven.

The reason people need this teaching, which is the teaching of heaven, is because religion educates people, who are captured by sin, with the things of heaven. This is so people could come out from sin (devil), return to God (cross over from death to life), receive salvation and live together with God in his kingdom, heaven.

[Shincheonji Answer 6] The necessity of True Religion

[Shincheonji Answer 6]

The necessity of True Religion

The true God, the Creator, did not make evil people.

The traitor, the evil god, took people away;

and in order to make them his, he entered

into them and made them do evil acts.

This is how they became evil people.

 

• Lee Byoungchul, Question 6th.

Why did God create villains?
(Examples: Hitler, Stalin and other kinds of criminals)

• Shincheonji Answer 6th.

The true God, the Creator, did not make evil people. The traitor, the evil god, took people away; and in order to make them his, he entered into them and made them do evil acts. This is how they became evil people.

The seed of a god is the words of that particular god.
When an evil spirit enters into a person, that god makes the person act according to its will. Therefore, evil began from the evil god. I hope you understand all creation has a spirit and a soul. The way to know this (truth, fact) is through religion.

God & Bible

 

The way the true God, who is the Creator, makes this fact known to the people is through the Bible.

As written in the answer to the fourth question, someday the true God, the Creator,

will come and restore everything to its original state. 

5th Question of
Lee Byoungchul &
5th Answer of Shincheonji

 

The way the true God, who is the Creator, makes this fact known to the people is through the Bible. 

 

Lee Byoungchul, Question 5th.

If God loves people, why does he allow pain, unhappiness and death?


Shincheonji Answer 5th.

Mr. Lee Byoungchul, you are saying this because you do not understand the meaning of religion. There are two kinds of gods. One is the Creator, who is life and the other is an evil god, who is a created being. Of course, the Creator loves all creation because he created it. The evil god, who is a created being, makes all creation suffer because he did not create them. He makes people blame God just like Mr. Lee Byoungchul.

Then who is this evil god, the created being? In the spiritual world, there are four cherubs (four living creatures, four archangels); one of the cherubs (archangel), who was in charge of one-fourth of the troops, rebelled against God and became an evil god (Satan, devil). He tried to throw the true God out and make himself God. This was the traitor, the devil, who took away the whole world created by God, and he has been ruling over it.

The way the true God, who is the Creator, makes this fact known to the people is through the Bible. As written in the answer to the fourth question, someday the true God, the Creator, will come and restore everything to its original state. The pain people suffer is not given by the true God, the Creator; rather it is given by the traitor, the evil god.


※ Lam 3:33
For he does not willingly bring affliction or grief to anyone.

[Shincheonji Answer 4] Science & God

 

4th Question of
Lee Byoungchul &
4th Answer of Shincheonji

 

I do not think just because science develops,

it will be able to analyze the two kinds of gods.

 

 

 

Lee Byoungchul, Question 4.

Someday, it seems like synthesis of life and people living for a long time without illnesses might be possible. If scientific development continues, wouldn’t the existence of God be denied?



Shincheonji Answer 4th.

Someday, synthesis of life and people living a long time without illnesses is possible. What you have said is correct.

However, it is not through science. I do not think just because science develops, it will be able to analyze the two kinds of gods.

Gods can only be known through gods. Also, since life spans were shortened due to sin (within biblical history), when sin is decreased and disappears, people will be able to live longer.

The only way to resolve the problem of sin is the blood of Jesus (a righteous man). This is when God could reunite with men.

 

[Shincheonji Answer 3] Human is Not Evolution

3rd Question of
Lee Byoungchul &
3rd Answer of Shincheonji

• Lee Byoungchul, Question 3.

Biologists advocate human beings are the outcome of a long process of evolution. How is this different from God’s creation of humans? Are not humans or living creatures a consequence of evolution?

• Shincheonji Answer 3rd.

Biologists advocate human beings are the outcome of a long process of evolution. How is this different from God’s creation of humans? Are not humans or living creatures a consequence of evolution?

Humans and other living things are not the result of evolution but change. Then one may ask why there was a change.

A color is one color, but when two colors are mixed, the result is not the same as the original color.

The chick born of a mixed breeding of a native and foreign chicken is not the same as the parent chicken.

The chick would be a half-half hybrid of the native and foreign breeds. What the true God has created is always the same. Yet, since there are two kinds of gods in this world, there are those who are born of another god and have become something different.

For example, the faces of identical twins are almost the same. Although the environment and the atmosphere each twin is exposed to are different, because the genetic information of the twins when they are created by a man and a woman are the same, the faces of the twins look the same. However, the face of the child born afterwards is different. The reason for this is the difference of accumulated sin and aging.

It is not evolution. When evil entered into the first man, a living spirit (life), the color and behavior of men became mixed and changed. Men began to resemble the image of two gods; however, when the Creator, who is life, returns, all men and creation will be restored to their original state. This change occurred because of the evil god.

Shincheonji Answer 2 [Proof that God is Creator]

 

2nd Question of

Lee Byoungchul &
2nd Answer of Shincheonji 

• Lee Byoungchul, Question 2.

How can it be proved that God is the creator of the universe and all living things?

 

 

• Shincheonji Answer 2nd

One cannot say a king does not exist simply because he has not seen him in the palace. The proof God created all things is creation itself. How can anything grow if there is no seed and how can anything sprout if nothing has been planted?

The Creator is life and the words of God, who is life, become the seed to create all things (Lk 8:11; Jn 1:1-4). The creation of heaven and the earth is like the son existing because the father exists. The son knows his father. The reason why a son may not know his father is because he is not the son.


References: Lk 8:11, Jn 1:1-4

• Luk 8:11

“This is the meaning of the parable: The seed is the word of God.

• John 1:1-4

In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was with God in the beginning. Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made. In him was life, and that life was the light of all mankind.
