Is Shincheonji Church a Cult?



Shincheonji Church of Jesus Temple of the Tabernacle of the Testimony



Shincheonji Church, 
a Cult or Not a Cult
That is the Question!



Main reference: Rv 21 

Is Shincheonji (Shincheonji Church of Jesus), Temple of the Tabernacle of the Testimony in the bible, a really cult??




‘ShincheonjI’ is an abbreviation of the Chinese characters for ‘new heaven and new earth’ found in Revelation 21. In the Bible, the first heaven and the first earth pass away, and a new heaven and a new earth appear. God, Jesus, and heaven are promised to come to Shincheonji (refer to Rv 3:12, 21:1-7). 

The ‘Temple of the Tabernacle of the Testimony’ is the temple to where all nations will come and worship, according to Revelation 15:4-5. ‘The Tabernacle of the Testimony’ means it is the tabernacle that testifies to what was seen and heard concerning the events of all the chapters of Revelation. ‘Temple’ means that it is a holy house.  

If one calls ‘Shincheonji, Temple of the Tabernacle of the Testimony,’ that was created according to the Bible, a cult, then one is calling Jesus a cult, and the book of ‘Revelation’ found in the Bible becomes a heretical doctrine. If one does not believe in God, the Bible, or Shincheonji, then it is correct to say one’s faith is wrong. 

If one reads ‘commentaries,’ which are arbitrary interpretations of the Bible by men, and calls the Bible heretical, then all bibles on this earth should be burned. And if the Bible, the Christian doctrine, is heretical according to Calvin’s doctrines, then Christianity and the Bible should be burned and Calvin’s doctrines should be taught in place of the Bible.

If one stands for scripture other than the Bible, then one should testify about that scripture so they can be compared. One may hate a person, but one should not hate the words of the Bible. If one thinks a Bible commentary is wrong, then one should say it is wrong. In this case, one should have evidence that shows the commentary to be correct or incorrect.

If Shincheonji, which the Bible speaks of, is wrong, then evidence that proves its falsehood should be brought forward and an alternative (a creation) other than Shincheonji should be presented to take its place. We proposed a public debate of the Bible numerous times in locations all over the country, but to this day not a single person has stepped up to respond. 

We told them numerous times, “If Shincheonji is wrong, then step forward confidently and declare the word ‘Shincheonji’ to be wrong, or if Shincheonji’s explanation of the Bible is wrong, then say it is wrong.” But they only rant like a tavern’s dogs barking at the back, so isn’t fitting to call them 'beasts'? (refer to Ps 30:2-3) 

Today, those who are unable to defeat Shincheonji with the word of the Bible and only persecute are no different from the pastors and elders of the First Coming who could not defeat Jesus with the truth and only persecuted him.
Shincheonji is the kingdom promised by God. 

If one opposes Shincheonji, one cannot enter heaven.
Just like how seven evil spirits come and live within a believer who leaves the truth (refer to Mt 12:43-45), isn’t it true that the world of believers is seven times more evil than the world of non-believers? 

The world of believers is corrupt and drunk with false words just as it says in Revelation 18; the corrupted world of believers must be reborn with the revealed word of Jesus.
