Shincheonji Teaching: Another Counselor & Promised Pastor

 

Shincheonji Teaching:

The Another Counselor

and the Promised Pastor

 

 

Jesus asked God for another Counselor (Jn 14:16-17), so God sent the Spirit of truth.

Because the Spirit of truth dwells in a person (Jn 14:17) and speaks through that person

(promised pastor), the promised pastor becomes the Counselor and the Advocate.

 

 

Main reference: Jn 16:8-15, Jn 14:26


Jesus, the promised pastor at the First Coming, was the Advocate who spoke on God’s behalf (1Jn 2:1, Advocate = Counselor).

It was because God came to Jesus and became one with him that Jesus was the Counselor and the Advocate (Jn 1:32, Jn 10:30-39). This is why Jesus said, “I have come into the world as a light, and I have come in my Father’s name” (Jn 12:46, Jn 5:43).
 
Just as God spoke through Moses and not directly to the Israelites (Ex 20:18-21), so too did He come and speak through Jesus (Jn 14:24) who came according to the Old Testament (Isa 19:1). On this account, Jesus was the Counselor and Advocate who spoke on behalf of God. 
 
Jesus asked God for another Counselor (Jn 14:16-17), so God sent the Spirit of truth. Because the Spirit of truth dwells in a person (Jn 14:17) and speaks through that person (promised pastor), the promised pastor becomes the Counselor and the Advocate.

This is how God also dwelled within Jesus at the First Coming; Jesus spoke God’s Word on His behalf as the Counselor sent by God. Likewise, the promised pastor became the Counselor, the another Counselor sent by Jesus (Jn 14:16).
