Shincheonji, Adam and Eve, Nakedness and Clothing

 
Shincheonji Teaching: Adam & Eve

Nakedness and Clothing

The word nakedness implies that a person was at one point dressed. The plants and animals God created do not wear clothes, but we do not say they are naked. People, on the other hand, wear clothes. The Bible even talks about how God, the angels, and the spiritual body of Jesus are dressed (Mt 17:2; Rv 1:13; Rv 4:4; Rv 15:6). Adam and Eve were not ashamed of their nakedness until they ate the fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil (Gn 2:25; Gn 3:6-7).

As we discussed above, eating the fruit of the knowledge of good and evil is the same as hearing and accepting the words of the devil. Adam and Eve realized they were naked and felt shame only after they heard and accepted the words of the serpent (Gn 3:1-13).

Let us first understand what it means to be naked. We should look to the Bible as we consider expressions like “hidden things of old” (Ps 78:2), “parables” (Mt 13:34-35), and “the account of creation” (Gn 2:4).

• “The one born by natural descent persecuted the one born according to the spirit.” (Gal 4:29)
• The sons of God are different from mere men (Ps 82:6-7).
• “For all of you who were baptized into Christ have clothed yourselves with Christ.” (Gal 3:27)
• Only people wearing white clothes are worthy (Rv 3:4), so we must buy and wear white clothes to avoid being shamefully exposed (Rv 3:18; Rv 16:15).
• “For we know that if our earthly house, the tent we live in, is dismantled, we have a building from God, a house not built by human hands, that is eternal in the heavens. For in this earthly house we groan, because we desire to put on our heavenly dwelling, if indeed, after we have put on our heavenly house, we will not be found naked. For we groan while we are in this tent, since we are weighed down, because we do not want to be unclothed, but clothed, so that what is mortal may be swallowed up by life. Now the one who prepared us for this very purpose is God, who gave us the spirit as a down payment.” (2 Cor 5:1-5)
• “We must lay aside the works of darkness, and put on the weapons of light.” (Rom 13:12)
• “In him you also were circumcised?not, however, with a circumcision performed by human hands, but by the removal of the fleshly body, that is, through the circumcision done by Christ.” (Col 2:11)
• “Since you have put off the old man with its practices and have been clothed with the new man …” (Col 3:9-10)
• “So then, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; what is old has passed away?look, what is new has come!” (2 Cor 5:17)

Thus, when Adam and Eve took off what was of the flesh and became living spirits, they were new creations. They rid themselves of all that was shameful (Gn 2:25). After they received and ate the fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, however, they were ashamed of their nakedness. They were so afraid that they hid themselves among the trees of the Garden (Gn 3:10). Although they began with the holy spirit, they returned to flesh (Gal 3:3) when they accepted the serpent’s lies. They were dust (mere flesh) that became living beings by receiving the holy spirit, but ultimately they lost the holy spirit and returned to the flesh?they took off their clothes. Clothes represent the word of God (i.e. the holy spirit) and righteous deeds done according to the word of God (Rev 19:8).

The holy spirit of God planted the seed of the living word into a field?the heart of his chosen pastor (1 Cor 3:9). After the seed was planted, it sprouted and grew up into a big tree where birds could come and perch. This tree of life yields the fruit of life, which according to Mt 13, represent people born of the word of truth. This tree is himself a child and fruit of God. Others can attain eternal life by eating this fruit of the word of life (Gn 3:22).

Babylon, on the other hand, is the kingdom of demons. Demons plant the seeds of weeds (i.e. the devil’s lies) in their fields?the hearts of Babylon’s pastors. Those seeds grow to become trees of the knowledge of good and evil. The evil birds representing evil spirits come to perch in these trees (Rv 18:2). The fruits of these trees of evil spirits contain the seeds of the devil’s words. The living spirits of those who hear and accept (eat) these fruits of Satan will die. The venom of the serpent (i.e. the words of the evil spirits) kill them (Ez 18:4).

The Bible testifies that the two trees in the Garden of Eden re-appear in the times of Moses, Jesus’ first coming, and Jesus’ second coming, which is the time of Revelation’s fulfillment. Babylon is the kingdom of the serpent and the dragon. The beast with seven heads and ten horns mentioned in Revelation symbolizes a pastor of Babylon. The fruit of this beast represents his words. Those who eat the fruit of the beast return to the flesh even if they began with the holy spirit. These people fall from heaven and are cast down to the earth. Since people have taken off the holy, living spirit and clothed themselves with the flesh, they are asked to repent and again clothe themselves with the holy spirit (Rv 3:18). We must be awake and stand firmly on the truth so we will not go naked and be shamefully exposed.

Shincheonji, Tree of Life and Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil

 

Shincheonji Teaching,

The Tree of Life and

the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil

 

God promised in Ps 78:1-3 to open his mouth in parables and utter ancient secrets to future generations. Eventually, God came to Jesus and delivered those ancient hidden truths through him (Mt 13:34-35).

At that time, the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven were revealed in parables. Since Adam and Eve’s fall story was caused by the fruit of the knowledge of good and evil, let us first understand the meaning of the tree of life and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. This is a secret no one has been able to comprehend for the last 6,000 years.

Jesus referred to himself as the word (1 Jn 1:1-2), as life, and as light (Jn 8:12; Jn 14:6). He called himself the true vine and his disciples branches that bear fruit (Jn 15:1-2, 5). Jesus explained that the tree of life grows from the seed of the word of life until it is strong enough for birds to come and perch in its branches (Mt 13:31-32).

This is why Jesus received the holy spirit like a dove (Mt 3:16; Jn 1:32). When you take all these parables into account together, it becomes clear that Jesus himself was a tree of life. Thus, the tree of life symbolizes people who are born of the word just like Jesus was. The tree of life in Genesis, therefore, was not an actual plant. It was a person-a son of God born of the word of life (Jn 10:35).

What, then, is the tree of the knowledge of good and evil? If Jesus is the tree of life, the tree of the knowledge of good and evil is not a physical plant. If you examine the book of Jude and 2 Pt 2, both make references to the angels who betrayed and the people who betrayed here on earth.

At the first coming of Jesus, Satan fell like lightning from heaven and entered into Judas, and he became someone who opposed [God] (Lk 10:18; Jn 13:2).

Furthermore, the king of Babylon, the kingdom of demons, Nebuchadnezzar, was represented by a huge tree in Dn 4. It had abundant fruit, and birds (evil spirits) rested on it branches. Wild animals found the tree to be their shelter.

This Babylon, in fact, was the organization of Satan that fed God’s churches, which are all nations, with the wine of adulteries, and that caused all nations to collapse, just as seen in Rv 17, Rv 18, and Rv 13. Considering these, the tree of the knowledge of good and evil represents the spirit of wickedness that betrayed as well as the people who betrayed.

Shincheonji, Adam, Eve, Cain and Abel Story from the Bible

 Shincheonji,

Adam, Eve, Cain

and Abel Story

from the Bible

Satan said to her, "You will not die by eating the fruit of that tree. God knows that when you eat that fruit your eyes will be opened and you will be like God. You will know good and evil."
 
Eve did not eat the fruit. But, she had listened to what Satan had said. The things that Satan had said stayed in her mind. She allowed herself to think about them. She saw that the fruit of the tree was beautiful, and that it looked delicious. She wanted the wisdom and Satan had promised her.

At last, the desire to eat the fruit became too great for her. She took the fruit and ate it. She gave some to her husband, Adam, who was with her, and persuaded him to eat the fruit also. After they had eaten the fruit, their eyes were opened. They became very ashamed. They knew that they had disobeyed God.

Then Adam and Eve heard the voice of God calling to them. They were very afraid and tried to hide themselves in the trees. God was angry that they had disobeyed him. Adam and Eve were punished. Now all the men and women would know what is like to feel pain, hunger and death.

He made them leave the garden. No more would everything be given to them. From now on they would have to work hard in order to live.



Shincheonji, Adam, Eve, Cain and Abel Story from the Bible

 Adam and Eve were forced to leave the garden, and they went out into the world. For a time they were all alone, but God finally gave them a little child of their own.
He was the first baby born in the world. Eve named him Cain. After a while, Eve had another son, whom she named Abel.

While Adam and Eve were living in the Garden of Eden, they could talk with God and hear God's voice speaking to them. But now that they were out in the world, they couldn't talk for a sin with God as freely as before.

So they built an altar from a pile of stones.
On this altar they will place their gifts to God. These gifts would be burned to show that they were not their own, but was given to God.

Adam and Eve would pray before the altar. They would ask God to forgive their sins, all the things which they had done wrong. They would also ask God to bless them and to do good things for them.
When Cain and Abel grew up, they worked before them.

Cain, the older brother, became a farmer. He worked in the fields, growing grain and fruits. Abel, the younger brother, had a flock of sheep. He became a shepherd.

When the two brothers, Cain and Abel, were old enough, they offered their gifts to God upon the altar. Cain would bring some of the fruits and grains that he had grown, and Abel would bring sheep from his flock that he had killed.

They would burn their gifts upon the altar.
Abel would always choose the best sheep from his flock to give to God, while Cain kept the best fruits and grains for himself.

Cain's heart was not right when he came before God. So God showed that he was not happy with Cain and his offering. But instead of being sorry for his sin and asking God to forgive him, he became very angry at God and toward his brother Abel.

Cain became more and more angry with the way "he saw" was treating his brother Able.

One day, when the two brothers were out in the field together, Cain struck and killed his brother. So Cain, the first baby born in the world, grew up to murder his own brother.

The Lord called out to Cain, "Where is Abel, your brother?"
Cain answered like this,,,

Adam and Eve Story

from the Bible
 

 

 

The first day God created light and make the day and made the night.
The second day of His intent He made the heavenly firmament.
The third day came both land and sea, and grass, and herbs, and bush, and tree.
The fourth day sun and moon had birth, and stars that twinkle over earth.
The fifth day, from the waves of strife, God called great creatures into life.
And on the sixth day His plan in His won image God made man.
Then when His work the Lord had blest The seventh day He gave to rest.

The Bible says that the world was created in this way.
But the man, who was called Adam, was all alone and lonely.
God saw this and He said, "it is not good for man to be alone.
I will make a good companion for him."

So God made Adam fall into  deep sleep and then He carefully removed one of Adam's ribs. God used this rib to make a woman.
The woman's name was Eve(Gen 3:20).

God created a garden in the east for Adam and Eve to live in. The garden was called Eden.
In the diddle of this garden stood the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. A river flowed into the garden. It separated into four small streams. Many miles away, each of these streams world turn into a mighty river.

The Garden of Eden was Paradise. The land was very rich and beautiful. Many trees produced delicious fruit to eat. Here Adam and Eve were to rule over all the fish that swam in the water, the birds that flew in the sky, and the animals that moved along the ground All the animals world come to Adam and Eve when they called them. The birds sang over their heads as they walked. The fishes came to the side of the lake when they were near. This beautiful Garden was a happy and peaceful place. Unfortunately, this was not to last.

God had given Adam and Eve control over everything in the Garden, except one thing.
There was only one thing that Adam and Eve could not do. If they were to do this one thing they would lose all their peace and happiness.

It did not take long before Adam and Eve did the one thing that God had told them not to do.
The one thing they were not to do was to eat the fruit growing on a certain tree in the Garden of Eden.
The tree that they were a thousand other fruits which Adam and Eve could eat, but this one was forbidden. If they were to eat the fruit of this tree, they would die.

This was God's test of their love. If they loved God, they would not eat the fruit of this tree. If they did not love God they would disobey Him and eat the fruit.
Satan took the from of a large her husband's side, Satan came to her. Satan tried to get Eve to eat the fruit from the tree of life.

Satan said to her,,,

Nakedness & clothing

Adam & Eve 'took off',
Nakedness and clothing

When Adam and Eve 'took off' what was of the flesh and became living spirits, they were new creations. They rid themselves of all that was shameful (Gn 2:25). 

After they received and ate the fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, however, they were ashamed of their nakedness. They were so afraid that they hid themselves among the trees of the Garden (Gn 3:10).

Although they began with the holy spirit, they returned to flesh (Gal 3:3) when they accepted the serpent’s lies. 

They were dust (mere flesh) that became living beings by receiving the holy spirit, but ultimately they lost the holy spirit and returned to the flesh—they 'took off' their clothes. 

Clothes represent the word of God in other words the holy spirit and righteous deeds done according to the word of God.

The holy spirit of God planted the seed of the living word into a field—the heart of his chosen pastor (1 Cor 3:9). After the seed was planted, it sprouted and grew up into a big tree where birds could come and perch. 

This tree of life yields the fruit of life, which according to Mt 13, represent people born of the word of truth. This tree is himself a child and fruit of God. Others can attain eternal life by eating this fruit of the word of life (Gn 3:22).
