Shincheonji Bible: The Last Hope

What is the greatest hope of our lives? Is it to be a rich? What is the hope that is deep inside of our hearts? Parents always try to help their children to have a bright dream so that they may grow to make those dreams a reality. Therefore, if we have a hope that is shining bright within our heart and mind, we can endure all hardships that come our way. However as a person with a life of faith, what are we hoping for? Is our hope to have the greatest riches of the earth? Is it to have the best career? We must reflect on what our hope is even through those who lived 2,000 years ago.



           Do you know how many prophets sacrificed their lives for God and spreading the gospel? Was it easy for them to give up their lives? Do you know why the 12 disciples of Jesus decided to follow Jesus? Weren’t they persecuted because they believed in Jesus? It is because they believed 100% of the hope of heaven that God promised. Moreover, they perceived that nothing more can be precious than life. Therefore, they believed God’s promise in order to receive eternal life.


          Then, let’s look into our hearts deeply. Do we really have the hope for eternal life? Our wishes and hopes for the world can’t last forever because it is meaningless without life. If we say that we have 100% faith in heaven and eternal life, let us put God’s Words of promise into our hearts just as the prophets and the twelve disciples did. Amen.


13 write these things to you who believe in the name of the Son of God so that you may know that you have eternal life. - 1 John 5:13 -

On Eternal Life Discourse of Jesus Christ -Shincheonji Bible Words



Shincheonji Bible Words,
<Jesus Christ’s Discourse on Eternal Life>
 
 
 

Let's try to think about "Jesus Christ’s discourse on eternal life"
 

This is an explanation for all churches and believers that they might have a true life of faith.

Let us examine what Jesus taught regarding eternal life in the following passages so we can truly make this knowledge our own.

I bring up this topic because people persecute us as heresy without knowing the true meaning of the Bible themselves. Perhaps discussing exactly what Jesus said in the NT about this topic will help to alleviate some confusion.

  • Jn 8:47-55
“The one who belongs to God listens and responds to God’s words. You don’t listen and respond, because you don’t belong to God.” The Judeans replied, “Aren’t we correct in saying that you are a Samaritan and are possessed by a demon?” Jesus answered, “I am not possessed by a demon, but I honor my Father – and yet you dishonor me. I am not trying to get praise for myself. There is one who demands it, and he also judges. I tell you the solemn truth, if anyone obeys my teaching, he will never see death.” Then the Judeans responded, “Now we know you’re possessed by a demon! Both Abraham and the prophets died, and yet you say, ‘If anyone obeys my teaching, he will never experience death.’ You aren’t greater than our father Abraham who died, are you? And the prophets died too! Who do you claim to be?” Jesus replied, “If I glorify myself, my glory is worthless. The one who glorifies me is my Father, about whom you people say, ‘He is our God.’ Yet you do not know him, but I know him. If I were to say that I do not know him, I would be a liar like you. But I do know him, and I obey his teaching.”

  •  Jn 11:25-27
Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life. The one who believes in me will live even if he dies, and the one who lives and believes in me will never die. Do you believe this?” She replied, “Yes, Lord, I believe that you are the Christ, the Son of God who comes into the world.”

  •  Rom 8:9-11
You, however, are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of God lives in you. Now if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, this person does not belong to him. But if Christ is in you, your body is dead because of sin, but the Spirit is your life because of righteousness. Moreover if the Spirit of the one who raised Jesus from the dead lives in you, the one who raised Christ from the dead will also make your mortal bodies alive through his Spirit who lives in you.

  • Rev 21:1~4
Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and earth had ceased to exist, and the sea existed no more. And I saw the holy city – the new Jerusalem – descending out of heaven from God, made ready like a bride adorned for her husband. And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying: “Look! The residence of God is among human beings. He will live among them, and they will be his people, and God himself will be with them. He will wipe away every tear from their eyes, and death will not exist any more – or mourning, or crying, or pain, for the former things have ceased to exist.”

  • Jn 14:16-17
Then I will ask the Father, and he will give you another Advocate to be with you forever – the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot accept, because it does not see him or know him. But you know him, because he resides with you and will be in you.

  • Jn 14:20
You will know at that time that I am in my Father and you are in me and I am in you.

  • Rev 3:20
Listen! I am standing at the door and knocking! If anyone hears my voice and opens the door I will come into his home and share a meal with him, and he with me.

  • Gal 4:6
And because you are sons, God sent the Spirit of his Son into our hearts, who calls “Abba! Father!”



Do the scriptures above say that only the spirit lives eternally or do these say that even the body can live eternally? Is there death in the kingdom of heaven?

Take a close look and read at the bible again!

Shincheonji Teaching: "Eternal Life" In The Bible

 
Shincheonji Teaching:
Eternal life
in the spirit &
in the flesh


 ◈ Let us learn more about how the scriptures testify about eternal life.

The Bible’s teachings regarding eternal life

  •  Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life. The one who believes in me will live even if he dies, and the one who lives and believes in me will never die. Do you believe this?” She replied, “Yes, Lord, I believe that you are the Christ, the Son of God who comes into the world.” (Jn 11:25-27)

  •  For those who live according to the flesh have their outlook shaped by the things of the flesh, but those who live according to the Spirit have their outlook shaped by the things of the Spirit. You, however, are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of God lives in you. Now if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, this person does not belong to him. But if Christ is in you, your body is dead because of sin, but the Spirit is your life because of righteousness. Moreover if the Spirit of the one who raised Jesus from the dead lives in you, the one who raised Christ from the dead will also make your mortal bodies alive through his Spirit who lives in you. (Rom 8:5-11)

  • In a moment, in the blinking of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, and the dead will be raised imperishable, and we will be changed. For this perishable body must put on the imperishable, and this mortal body must put on immortality. Now when this perishable puts on the imperishable, and this mortal puts on immortality, then the saying that is written will happen, “Death has been swallowed up in victory.” (1 Cor 15:52-54)

  • And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying: “Look! The residence of God is among human beings. He will live among them, and they will be his people, and God himself will be with them. He will wipe away every tear from their eyes, and death will not exist any more ? or mourning, or crying, or pain, for the former things have ceased to exist.” (Rev 21:3-4)








God fulfilled what he prophesied to Abraham through Moses (Gen 15:13-14; Exo 12). At that time, all the Egyptians hated Moses and went against him, despite the fact that God was with him. God fulfilled the prophecies he had made through the OT prophets when he came and worked through Jesus (Jn 19:30). Similarly, at that time, all the Physical Israelites tried to get rid of Jesus despite the fact that God was with him. Jesus, who made a covenant (prophesied) roughly 2,000 years ago, has come to Shincheonji today and is fulfilling his prophecies (Rev 21:1-6). Currently, the Spiritual Israelites are fighting against and trying to destroy Shincheonji. In every generation, the people of the previous generation always persecute the place that works to create a new generation ? the place where God dwells.

Gal 4:29 says that those born of the flesh persecute those born of the holy spirit. Anyone who believes in God and his word must use the Bible to recognize the place where God dwells. Is he with the persecutors or with those who are persecuted?As they were waiting for the Messiah (their savior), the Physical Israelites fasted and prayed three times a day. They were so zealous for God, but in spite of their zeal, they refused to believe in the true Messiah when he came. Instead, they persecuted and even killed him.

Today, too, Jesus, who  gave us so many prophecies in the NT, comes as a spirit (just as God did in the first coming) and fulfills his prophecies. People, however, do not realize this and persecute us instead. How is this different from the times of Noah, Lot, and the time of Jesus' first coming? Christians who believe in the words of promise, however, will not hesitate to come to Shincheonji, verify whether Jesus' words have been fulfilled, believe in their fulfillment, and, in doing so, receive salvation.

Shincheonji believes in the words recorded in the Bible and we speak those words on behalf of God and Jesus. Those who oppose the word do so because they do not believe in the Bible. Shincheonji has never mentioned physical eternal life without basing our claims on the Bible. On the contrary, we simply give people biblical references like the ones listed above and tell them to believe what the Bible tells them. Just as people persecuted Jesus at the time of the first coming because he talked about eternal life, people are persecuting us because we talk about eternal life. These people should stop this persecution. Without physical and spiritual eternal life, there is no reason to live a life of faith. Just like Jesus’ disciples, we believe in heaven and eternal life because Jesus spoke of them (Jn 11:25-27). We also believe that the prophecies will be fulfilled according to the Bible.

We would like to ask a biblical question to those who persecute Shincheonji: What was God's objective in recording the Bible? We would like to hear their response to this question. Shouldn’t everyone living a life of faith without knowing the answer to this question try to learn? Isn’t this one of our duties as a believer? Shincheonji is trying to reveal God's will to all believers.

Shincheonji Teaching: "Eternal life" John 8


Shincheonji Teaching:
Eternal life
in the spirit
and in the flesh


Main reference: John 8

Is Jesus' promise concerning eternal life spiritual or physical?

Frist, let us consider eternal life.

Although Jesus promised heaven and eternal life in the New Testament, the Jewish priests and elders at the time of the first coming refused to believe and attacked Jesus instead. They considered Jesus' claims about eternal life to be nonsense. They argued over eternal life and responded to Jesus by saying, “Both Abraham and the prophets died, and yet you say, ‘If anyone obeys my teaching, he will never experience death.’ You aren't greater than our father Abraham who died, are you?” (John 8).

Clearly, the issue of eternal life was a point of controversy between Jesus and the Jews. Whose teachings were correct? If Jesus had denied eternal life, he would have been a liar. The fact that confirmed the existence of eternal life meant he was keeping God’s word and was speaking on behalf of God (Jn 5:19-20; Jn 12:49-50; Jn 17:7-8). Just as Jesus spoke on behalf of God (1 Jn 2:1), we, too, must speak on behalf of Jesus. If a person speaks according to the Bible, that person speaks on behalf of God and Jesus. Refusing to believe in any words that are spoken on behalf of God and Jesus is refusing to listen to God’s and Jesus’ words. This is just like what the Jews did when they refused to listen to Jesus; they refused to listen to God (Jn 12:44). If anyone wants to deny another person’s testimony, they should do so through the scriptures.

When considering what Jesus said about eternal life, would Adam and Eve have returned to dust if they had not eaten from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil that brought them death (Gen 3:19)? Did God intend for his people, who were created in his image, to become sick, suffer, and eventually die? No. Death is result of sin (James 1:15), and it is because of sin that God, who is life, could no longer be with his people. God left his people and this limited their lifespan (Gen 6:1-3).
God was able to come to Jesus because he had no sin (Lk 3:22). Jesus then bore the cross to solve the problem of sin for the rest of us (Jn 1:29; 1 Pet 2:24). Afterwards, the spirit of God, who had once left people, came back to Jesus' disciples because their sins had been atoned (Acts 2:1-4).

Jesus, who had raised Lazarus from the dead, resurrected from the dead himself and appeared before his disciples. Jesus made it known to them that he was flesh and not spirit when he told them to touch the nail marks in his hands (Lk 24:36-43; Jn 20:26-27). Do you believe in these words? Adam lived almost 1,000 years after he had sinned. Rev 20 states that those who take part in the first resurrection become God's priests and reign as kings for 1,000 years. Do you believe in these words?

Shincheonji Church of Jesus has spoken the recorded words of Jesus on his behalf. We have never spoken of physical eternal life without firmly basing our words on the Bible. We have only spoken according to what is written in the Bible. Just like Jesus' disciples (Jn 11:25-27), Shincheonji believes in the words of Jesus. The people who persecute us, however, claim that Shincheonji's idea that the flesh can live forever is not based on the Bible. This is simply another scheme to persecute Shincheonji by telling lies just like the Jews did at the time of the first coming. Is this not the same as the situation regarding the Apostles' Creed? The apostles never wrote the Apostles' Creed. Others created it on their own and forced all Christians to confess it.

What are these things that Shincheonji Church of Jesus claims about eternal life that are mentioned in the Bible? According to the scriptures, God is the only one who can give or take away life (Job 1:21). Even though God, who is life, left Adam, Adam was able to live nearly 1,000 years. Soon after that, however, the human lifespan was decreased to approximately 70 years with the accumulation of original sins, hereditary sins, and personal sins (Ps 90:10). Thus, as sin accumulated, our lifespan dropped. If our sins are atoned and God is able to return to his people once more, people will be able to live longer. Jesus talked about eternal life because he was able to solve the problem of sin and make it possible for people to reunite with God, who is life.

Let us learn more about how the Bible testify about eternal life tomorrow~.~

Shincheonji Teaching: Effect of Blood of Jesus



Shincheonji Teaching:

Effect of the Blood that
Jesus Shed 2,000 years ago


When does the blood that
Jesus spilled become effective?



http://cafe.daum.net/scjschool/E4mY/613
Life and Death Source: Shincheonji cafe


When can people eat Jesus’ flesh and blood that he spoke about in John 6? 

He said in Luke 22 regarding the new covenant established in blood that he “will not drink again of the fruit of the vine (Jesus), until the kingdom of God comes.”  Therefore, people can eat Jesus’ flesh and blood at the time Revelation fulfills (refer to Rv 5:9-10, Rv 7:14, Rv 12).

Did you understand this?

Therefore, the blood that Jesus shed 2,000 years ago takes into effect at the time of Revelation.  The “kingdom” of God from his previous statement, “I will not drink until that day when I drink anew in my Father’s kingdom,” is the kingdom of priest purchased by his (Jesus) blood in Revelation 5. 

The great multitudes dressed in white in Revelation 7 are the people who washed their robes with Jesus’ blood.  These are the events that take place at the time of Revelation and the events that take place through the blood.

Death came through Adam’s transgression and life comes with Jesus’ blood.  As stated above, the answer to the suffering of the four phases in life that Siddhartha spoke about is Jesus and Jesus’ blood.


At the time Jesus’ blood takes into effect, the path to eternal life and the answer to the question of eternal life for the congregation members who believe in the Lord is knowing the promised blessings and the promised pastor in Revelation 2-3. 

※ Meditate and acknowledge below!

Jn 17:3
Now this is eternal life: that they know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom you(God) have sent.

Today, in today’s era of the fulfillment of the Book of Revelation,,,

Rv 22:16
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.”


Will you continue to only wait for the prophecies finish its fulfilling?
Are you unaware of the fact that the promises that were prophesied have already fulfilled?

If one denies the Apostles’ Creed, is he considered as cult?

 The correct understanding of the Bible and  the Apostles’ Creed


 


Is the confession of the Apostles’ Creed biblical?
 If not, why was it written, and why do the churches recite it?
And if one denies the Apostles’ Creed, is he considered as cult?
Do you believe really really... Belief in the life everlasting(eternal life)?


Source : http://cafe.daum.net/scjschool/E4mY/494 (Shincheonji cafe)

  Belief in the life everlasting



While they confess to believe in everlasting life, if anyone mentions “eternal life,” they label him as a cult  and do not believe him.

If they don’t believe in everlasting life, for whom and to whom are they making this confession? The devil? The public council(Sanhedrin)?

We would like to ask the believers who believe in God and his Word.

To say what Jesus, the apostles, and the Bible did not say or to make up something and add to or take away something from the Bible is the same action as changing the set times and the laws God testified about in Daniel 7:25. It is the same as preaching a gospel other than the ones the disciples preached, and whoever does this will be condemned (Gal 1:8). Revelation 22:18-19 says that anyone who adds to or takes words away from the Bible is breaking the law, and will receive curses and plagues.

The people who recite the Apostles’ Creed as their confession of faith have ignored the Scriptures and have added to and taken away from it. ( Rv 22:18~19)
Instead of being stubborn, everyone needs to repent in order to be saved.  



Now is the time we need to recall the words of Matthew 24, the events of Revelation 6-18, the words which say that all nations are deceived just as it was in the days of Noah and Lot, and the words of warning which say that all nations have been destroyed because of the wine of adultery (the devil’s lies).

We must remember that everyone will be judged according to their deeds as written in the books (of the Bible) (Rv 20:12).
Lies come from the devil.
To spread lies is to sow the seed of weeds, and those who received the lies have received the seed of the devil. Thus, You must be born again by the word of truth.  





 This <If one denies the Apostles’ Creed, is he considered as cult?? second time> is continued next post <Shincheonji denies the Apostles’ Creed, is he considered as cult??>
third time.  Bye(^.^)/~

'Eternal life' according to the Bible, is eternal life physical or spiritual?

'Eternal life' according to the Bible,

is it(eternal life) physical or spiritual?





  • Jn 12:50 I know that his command leads to eternal life. So whatever I say is just what the Father has told me to say.
When the Bible mentions eternal life, we should understand clearly whether it is referring to physical or spiritual eternal life. The sun, moon, stars, winds, clouds, and rains are in the heavens, just as the spirits are in the spiritual world. Similarly, in the physical world, all sorts of living creatures, plants, and people fill the earth.
According to the Bible, God’s will is for all of his creation to obtain eternal life (Jn 6:40; 1 Jn 5:13).
As part of this will, heaven including the spirits of God and the martyrs will descend to the earth. As God’s will is done on earth as it is in heaven, Mt 6:10 is fulfilled. God wants to dwell among his people on earth like he did in the time of Adam when his creation was still perfect (Gn 2; 1 Cor 15:25). This perfection is restored with the fulfillment of the wedding banquet Jesus promised would take place between the spiritual and physical worlds (Is 62:4-5; Hos 2:19-20; Mt 22; Mt 25; 2 Cor 11:2; Rv 19).

  • Why did the vast separation between God and man came about?
  • because of the disobedient and sinful hearts of Adam’s generation (Gn 3; Gn 6:1-3).

Since Jesus established the new covenant in his blood (Mt 26:26-29; Lk 22:20), people who believe in Jesus’ words have received atonement for their sins. At the time of Revelation’s fulfillment, that same blood of Jesus purchases people from the world of decay and death (Rv 1:5-6). God promised to return and unite with his children again. He will return to Shinchonji (Rv 21:1-6), which has appeared as God’s true temple (i.e., Mt. Zion in Rv 14:1-5). Ever since his spirit was separated from his people 6,000 years ago, God has been hard at work restoring all of creation to its original state of perfection. He has been working through his ministering angels and anyone who has been obedient to his commands. Since he left 6,000 years ago, neither God nor his kingdom of heaven have been able to return to dwell among us. This means God’s promise to come and live with us forever will be fulfilled at the time of Revelation’s fulfillment, when all his work is complete (Rv 22:1-5).

Let’s carefully examine this concept so we can understand it more clearly. Although Adam received the breath of life and became a living being (Gn 2:7), he returned to the flesh and died as a result of his sin (Gn 3; Gn 5:4-5).

  • Would Adam have died if he had not sinned? meditate!

Awhile later the sons of God began to marry the daughters of men. This forced God to leave his people and limit their lifespan to 120 years (Gn 6). According to Ps 82:5-7, the sons of God were gods, but because of sins they died like mere men. These people are called gods, but they are not spirits. Jesus was talking about these same people when he said that those who received God’s seed and the word of eternal life can be called gods (Jn 10:35). Similarly, the apostles called people born of God the offspring of God (Acts 17:27-29).

In Jn 8:12, Jesus called himself the light of the world. Jesus later asked his disciples, “I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in me will live, even through he dies, and whoever lives and believes in me will never die. Do you believe this?” Mary replied, “Yes, Lord, I believe that you are the Christ, the Son of God, who was to come into the world,” (Jn 11:25-27). Revelation 21:1-6 says that when God returns to dwell among his people, there is no more death or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things passes away. When the fulfillment of these prophecies comes, the work of the entire New Testament will be complete.

In addition, Apostle Paul testified about the seventh trumpet from Rv 10:7 when he said the following:
We will all be changed?in a flash, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, the dead will be raised imperishable, and we will be changed. For the perishable must clothe itself with the imperishable, and the mortal with immortality. When the perishable has been clothed with the imperishable, and the mortal with immortality, then the saying that is written will come true: “Death has been swallowed up in victory.” (1 Cor 15:51-54)

Since death was a consequence of sin, the atonement we receive through the blood of Jesus Christ frees us from our enslavement to death. When all the prophecies of the Bible are finally fulfilled, there will be no more death (Mt 26:28; Rv 1:5-6). If no one had ever eaten the fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, our bodies would never have been destined to die (Gn 2:17; Gn 3:6). Death and suffering were never part of God’s original, holy creation. Death is a consequence of sin. Ever since Adam’s betrayal in the garden, the people of the world have inherited his sin and paid the ultimate price by dying as mere flesh. The Bible talks about the children of God and the children of ordinary men. The children of God live forever, but the children of ordinary men die because of their sins (Ps 82:6; Gn 6:1-3; Acts 17:29).

Followers of Christ whose flesh has died will live in spirit together forever with God and Jesus. True believers whose flesh is still alive at the time of the second coming will change and be re-born as the children of God. They will be clothed with God’s image and likeness according to the prophecies in 1 Cor 15 and Rv 21. Yet, until the prophecies are fulfilled, we cannot precisely describe the coming physical reality. Those who inherit this blessing will know it when it happens. There are so many people today who do not have the correct understanding of the Bible. These people waver on whether or not the flesh can live for eternity. We can be certain, however, that everything begins and ends with God. We must be confident that if it is promised in the Bible, it will be fulfilled. The Bible does promise that although people born of the seed of God live together with ordinary men right now, only the offspring of God will continue to exist beyond the millennium described in Revelation (Rv 20:4-6; Rv 22:1-5).



Jesus Christ’s discourse on eternal life & Shincheonji Church with the spirit of truth

Jesus Christ’s discourse on eternal life

& Shinchonji Church with the spirit of truth



 

Jesus Christ’s discourse on eternal life &

Shincheonji Church with the spirit of truth


The heaven and earth that God created are everlasting.
The sun, moon, stars, clouds, and winds are also eternal.
The living things on the earth, however, have limited life spans.
According to the Bible, God created people in his image and likeness (Gen 1:26-27).
These people God created are God’s children, but can also be called gods (Psa 82:6; Acts 17:29).

People (Adam and Eve) became mortal because they ate the fruit from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, which the serpent gave them.
After this, God shortened the lifespan of his sons, making them mortal (Gen 3:19; Gen 6:1-3).
This was why Apostle Paul pointed out that although death came through the first man, Adam, life comes through the second man, Jesus Christ (1 Cor 15:21-22).
These are the two potential outcomes for all people: life or death, depending on whether we eat from the tree of life given by God or from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil given by the devil (Gen 2:9; Gen 2:17; Gen 3:22; Jn 14:6).
Just as Apostle Paul testified (1 Cor 15:26; 1 Cor 15:51-54), God’s work on earth since Adam’s fall is to get rid of death and to give eternal life back to his creation (Rev 20:12-15; Rev 21:3-4).


The seminaries and pastors of the world neither know God’s will nor do they know the Bible because God has not revealed either one to them (Isa 29:9-13; Rev 5:1-3).
It is not their fault that they do not understand the true meaning of the Bible.
On the other hand, anyone who falsely interprets the Bible (2 Pet 3:16), that person does not know God’s will and is behaving arrogantly.
Before the book is opened, it could only be taught according to men’s rules, but once it is opened, from that time on it should not be taught according to men’s rules.
If Adam had sinned by eating from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, would he have died and returned to dust (Gen 3:19)?

Let us examine what Jesus taught regarding eternal life in the following passages so we can truly make this knowledge our own.
People persecute us as heresy without knowing the true meaning of the Bible themselves.
Perhaps discussing exactly what Jesus said in the NT about this topic(Jesus Christ’s discourse on eternal life) will help to alleviate some confusion.



  • Jn 8:47-55 => “The one who belongs to God listens and responds to God’s words. You don’t listen and respond, because you don’t belong to God.” The Judeans replied, “Aren’t we correct in saying that you are a Samaritan and are possessed by a demon?” Jesus answered, “I am not possessed by a demon, but I honor my Father – and yet you dishonor me. I am not trying to get praise for myself. There is one who demands it, and he also judges. I tell you the solemn truth, if anyone obeys my teaching, he will never see death.” Then the Judeans responded, “Now we know you’re possessed by a demon! Both Abraham and the prophets died, and yet you say, ‘If anyone obeys my teaching, he will never experience death.’ You aren’t greater than our father Abraham who died, are you? And the prophets died too! Who do you claim to be?” Jesus replied, “If I glorify myself, my glory is worthless. The one who glorifies me is my Father, about whom you people say, ‘He is our God.’ Yet you do not know him, but I know him. If I were to say that I do not know him, I would be a liar like you. But I do know him, and I obey his teaching.”

  • Jn 11:25-27 => Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life. The one who believes in me will live even if he dies, and the one who lives and believes in me will never die. Do you believe this?” She replied, “Yes, Lord, I believe that you are the Christ, the Son of God who comes into the world.”

  •  Rom 8:9-11 => You, however, are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of God lives in you. Now if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, this person does not belong to him. But if Christ is in you, your body is dead because of sin, but the Spirit is your life because of righteousness. Moreover if the Spirit of the one who raised Jesus from the dead lives in you, the one who raised Christ from the dead will also make your mortal bodies alive through his Spirit who lives in you.

  • Rev 21:1-4 => Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth(Shincheonji : in Korean), for the first heaven and earth had ceased to exist, and the sea existed no more. And I saw the holy city – the new Jerusalem – descending out of heaven from God, made ready like a bride adorned for her husband. And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying: “Look! The residence of God is among human beings. He will live among them, and they will be his people, and God himself will be with them. He will wipe away every tear from their eyes, and death will not exist any more – or mourning, or crying, or pain, for the former things have ceased to exist.”

  •  Jn 14:16-17 => Then I will ask the Father, and he will give you another Advocate to be with you foreverthe Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot accept, because it does not see him or know him. But you know him, because he resides with you and will be in you.

  • Jn 14:20 => You will know at that time that I am in my Father and you are in me and I am in you.

  • Rev 3:20 => Listen! I am standing at the door and knocking! If anyone hears my voice and opens the door I will come into his home(※ 1Co 3:9) and share a meal with him, and he with me

  •  Gal 4:6 => And because you are sons, God sent the Spirit of his Son into our hearts, who calls “Abba! Father!” 



Do the scriptures above say that only the spirit lives eternally or do these say that even the body can live eternally? Is there death in the kingdom of heaven?

Jesus said that only those who have become a new creation by being born again through water and spirit can enter the kingdom of heaven (Jn 3:5-7; 2 Cor 5:17).
Apostle Paul said that when people are transformed, the perishable body will put on the imperishable, and the mortal body will put on immortality and death will be swallowed up by life (1 Cor 15:51-54). Should we deny these scriptures?

 Jesus bore the cross to atone for people’s sins and so that God, who had left because of people’s sins, could come with Jesus to dwell within his people (1 Cor 3:16; Jn 14:20; Rev 3:20; Gal 4:6; Rom 8:9). Although people should die as payment for their sins, those to whom God and Jesus come and dwell will be able to attain life. Just as Jesus of Nazareth was raised from death to life, it will be possible for people never to die (Jn 11).  http://subdue-it.blogspot.kr/2013/04/why-did-jesus-bear-cross-do-you-know-why.html



Anyone who belongs to God listens to God’s word and believes it. Anyone who listens to it but does not believe proves that he or she does not belong to God (Jn 8:46-47). John the Baptist came in the name of Elijah (Matt 11:10-14; Matt 17:10-13; Lk 1:13-17). Jesus came in the name of God (Jn 5:43). The spirit of truth, the Counselor, comes in the name of Jesus and dwells within the person God chooses (Jn 14:16-17; Jn 14:26; Rev 10).


Because the spirit of truth is with Shincheonji Church of Jesus (SCJ), we have mastered the Bible and teach it. Instead of persecuting SCJ, people should repent and come to learn.

SCJ is doing everything according to the Bible. How could this be wrong?
If SCJ is not doing things according to the Bible, let us discuss with the Bible.

Why do people label SCJ as a cult when they do not even understand the true meaning of the Bible? Labeling anyone as a cult according to one’s own judgment is following in the footsteps of John Calvin. Instead, we(Shincheonji) argue that the teachings of those who persecute us because they incorrectly interpret the Bible are not according to the Bible, and are thus the true heresy(cult).

We have love, forgiveness, and truth, and we pray for those who persecute us.
