"Because of excellence of words"



Why going to Shincheonji Church?

The crisis of the church being about to be shut down for Shincheonji




Even if Shinchonji Church of Jesus the Temple of the Tabernacle of the Testimony (Shincheonji) are taught heresy to believers, many pastors have complained of difficulty for believers which flock to Shincheonji.

Someone among pastors who taught Shincheonji as heresy says "80% of Shincheonji's words are correct".
Actually they allow the Shincheonji's doctrine.

In part, "Shincheonji doctrine theft problem" has been happening.





Why going to Shincheonji Church?

Shincheonji, rapid growth despite religious and social negative perceptions




Not only the religious world but also academic world has taken notice of Shincheonji which is rapidly growing even in situations where Christians rapidly decreases.

In the past, a large parts of researches and papers related to Shincheonji concluded that "Shincheonji is a cult".

Also, claims of believers who converted Shincheonji to general church were considerably analysed.

But other claimes didn't receive any attentions.





Why going to Shincheonji Church?

The reason of choosing Shincheonji, Words of excellence




Seoul Graduate School of Religious Studies master's thesis,
cause analysis of growth with the religious confessions in Shincheonji

However, Seoul graduate School of religious Studies literature master's thesis (A Study on the converted cause of Shin-Cheon-Ji devotee, Lee Jung Eun, 2013)  shows stark contrast with the existing analysis in that the paper tries to put away prejudice.

It compares the writings of 79 people who went to Shincheonji (the online articles in The Correct Understanding of BIble and Shincheonji) with the writings of 39 people who converted Shincheonji to general church (video recording and homepage online Articles) through Association of Korean Christian Heresy Counseling Center.

Academia analysis... "Because of excellence of words"



This paper refers to Shincheonji as "new religion that recevies socially significant interest for vigorous activities."

The purpose of the study is looking objectively about why a lot of people go towards Shincheonji in spite of the negative perceptions.

According to the paper, the most important factor is "Word of excellence and the idea of being able to concentrate on religious spiritual craving".




Why going to Shincheonji Church?

Exiting churches are insufficiently competitive in point of doctrine




"Unlike other churches giving the fragmentary messages, 
Shincheonji's words thoroughly based on Bible are sacred words that explain all things can", it describes.

Also, "By comparison, other churches' messages are exceedingly poor in terms of doctrine- competitiveness compared to Shincheonji's words.", it analyzed

On the other hand, about the reason converting Shincheonji to general church through Association of Korean Christian Heresy Counseling Center, common causes are not presented.

And the paper is finished, accenting "Description is needed".




Last 4th, Lee Jung Eun (Seoul National University Religious Studies PhD) announced the results of these studies at the academic presentation which Korea Christian History Society  held. The religious world also showed great interest.

As a result of analyzing more than 30 writings published in Shincheonji online community "The Correct Understanding of BIble and Shincheonji",
"For excellence of words, I go to Shincheonji" were confirmed commonly".





Why going to Shincheonji Church?

The considerable surge of not only domestic believers but also foreign!



Last year in June, Stan (22, Kenya, Africa) met at graduation ceremony site of Shincheonji John tribe said that "That I realized the revealed words and came to Shincheonji is the best in my life."
and "rather than graduated from seminary, it seems to have graduated from heaven".


For "words of excellence",
cases that believers leave the existing church and go to shincheonji church are increasing not in Korea also abroad.
