Discernment Between True Pastor and False Pastor

Discernment Between

the True Pastor and the False Pastor

Main reference ⇨ John 7:15-18

The Jews there were amazed and asked, “How did this man get such learning without having been taught?” Jesus answered, “My teaching is not my own. It comes from the one who sent me.  Anyone who chooses to do the will of God will find out whether my teaching comes from God or whether I speak on my own.  Whoever speaks on their own does so to gain personal glory, but he who seeks the glory of the one who sent him is a man of truth; there is nothing false about him.

Today,

the promised pastor of Shincheonji, the true pastor,

came in the name of Jesus (Jn 14:26) and has been testifying

as to what he saw, heard and was commanded (Rv 1:1-3).

Have you ever heard of testifying about the physical fulfilment

of the prophecies from the promised pastor of Shincheonji?

 

A true life of faith must be based on the word.
Living apart from the word cannot be a true life of faith.
We must first have the knowledge in the Bible within us, and then we must discern righteousness from lawlessness and truth from false teaching.
 
One must discern whether the pastor who is leading him is the advocate, who walks with God in the word of the covenant.
One must also discern if they can find truth from his pastor’s mouth or discern if he is a pastor who is not with God, the truth, and faith but is only consumed by his own thinking.
One must discern whether he is God’s pastor who truly works for His sheep or whether he is a false pastor.

One must discern these things to believe and follow correctly.

How can someone who does not even know the Bible be considered as God’s pastor?

Why would someone trust the words of his pastor more than God’s words?
The discernment of good and evil must be based on the words of the Bible.
The discernment of the True Pastor and the False Pastor also must be based on the words of the Bible.

A Prophet Proclaims in the Name of God, in the Bible

 

A Prophet Proclaims

in the Name of the Lord,

in the Bible

If a man does not have the testimony of the promises or

of their fulfillment, yet he still seeks his own glory and calls himself

a pastor sent by God, then such man is a false pastor (Dt 18:22).

God makes known His true Way in this manner in the bible.  He promises it in advance through ancient prophets, and when it is preached to the entire world (Mt 24:14), He fulfills the promises through the promised pastor, and finally makes known the things He fulfilled. 

• Deu 18:21, 22

21. You may say to yourselves, “How can we know when a message has not been spoken by the Lord ?”

 

22.  If what a prophet proclaims in the name of the Lord does not take place or come true, that is a message the Lord has not spoken. That prophet has spoken presumptuously, so do not be alarmed.

 

Idol, in the Bible

"Idol"

in the Bible

Main reference: Habakkuk 2:18

What does an idol refer to?

People think of an idol as something made of stones, wood, or iron such as the image of Buddha in a Buddhist temple.

This type of idol is nothing but an image, which neither benefits nor harms people.

The true meaning of an idol according to the Bible, however, is a false teacher (Habakkuk 2:18).

Daniel 2 also portrays this type of an idol.

In fact, the idol was a person; it was a false pastor.

• Habakkuk 2:18

“Of what value is an idol carved by a craftsman? Or an image that teaches lies? For the one who makes it trusts in his own creation; he makes idols that cannot speak.

From all the scriptures of the religions in the world, the hardest to understand are the Christian Bible and the Buddhist scriptures. 

It is because when the heavens showed the writers on earth in advance what will take place in the future, they showed it in parables (Ps 78:2, Mt 13:34-35). 

These were shown in parables, because they were the secrets of heaven, so the content the writers wrote after they saw and heard these things were in figurative language.  But the future events that are written in parables are revealed plainly when the proper time comes (Jn 16:25).
