Genesis 1 the creation story, The Reason for Re-Creation

In my last article, I wrote about about why this world is dark with no light.
☞ What are the sun, moon and stars, heaven and earth according to the Bible?
Please read the above article~~ 😊

What is the creation of heaven and earth?

If Genesis 1 were taken as the creation of physical nature, then it does not follow the natural order of things.

It regards the re-creation of God's kingdom, by figuratively using the nature of the physical world. It is a prophecy that is yet to be fulfilled.

천지 창조는 무엇인가? 창세기 1장이 자연계 창조라면 이치에 맞지 않는다. 이는 자연계를 빙자한 영적세계의 재창조를 말한 것이며, 이룰 예언이다.

What is the meaning of ‘heaven and earth’?

In Genesis 1:2, The earth that God had created still was formless and empty and the heavens were dark with no light because God, who is light, had departed. 

The 'heaven’ means a tabernacle (temple), and ‘earth’ means a location (a place of the temple) and the flesh body (saints).

This makes known the destruction of God’s church and his chosen people due to their corruption. 

빛 되신 하나님이 떠나가심으로 하나님이 창조하신 땅이 혼돈하고 공허하며 하늘이 흑암하여 빛이 없다. ‘하늘’은 장막(성전)을 말한 것이며, ‘땅’이란 장막의 ‘터와 육체(성도)들을 말한다. 이는 하나님의 교회와 선민이 부패로 인하여 멸망받은 것을 알린 말씀이었다.

The world of religion which has been corrupted

These words depict how the created heavens and earth became a barren desert. Israel became the same at Jesus’ first coming. The people who were the earth at Jesus’ First Coming were formless and dark (night). Jews was a place without light, and God chose Jesus and Jesus came as the light (Jn 12:46).

이는 창조된 것들이 황무함을 말씀하신 것으로, 예수님 초림 때 육적 이스라엘이 이와 같았으며, 예수님 초림 때 땅인 사람들은 혼돈하였고 밤이었으며, 빛이 없는 이 곳에 하나님이 예수님을 택하셨고, 예수님은 빛으로 오셨다.

But if this is true, there should be no more sin in people. Because sin was forgiven, people should have reunited with God.

However, there has been no reunification and sin has not disappeared. Sin has become worse. 

예수님은 죄인들의 죄를 사하고 하나님과 상봉할 수 있게 하기 위해 대신 십자가를 지고 피를 흘리셨다. 
사실이 그러하다면 사람에게서 죄가 사해졌으므로 죄가 없어져야 하고, 하나님과 사람이 상봉할 수 있어야 했을 것이다. 한데 오늘날까지 상봉도 없고, 죄가 끝나지도 않고 더욱 더하여지고 있다.

If you look at today’s religious world, they do not know anything about the new covenant. And they seem to care more about money, power, and authority, rather than faith.

지금 세상 종교를 진단해 보라. 신약 예언에 대해 아는 것도 없고, 신앙보다 돈이요, 신앙보다 권세 곧 교권이 아닌가? 

What is the reason that this world has been corrupted?

Satan was also God’s creation that God had originally created, and as we see in Ezekiel 28, Satan was a guardian cherub. A cherub is one of the four living creatures (four cherubs) and they are the ones who are in control of the many armies just as it is shown in Revelation 4 and Isaiah 14.

This cherub was full of wisdom, a complete seal, and was beautifully dressed with the various precious jewels in the Garden of Eden raised by God, however, he eventually became Satan (the serpent) because of his arrogance and desire of wanting to be like God. 

사단도 본래 하나님이 창조하신 피조물이었으니, 에스겔 28장에 본바 이 사단은 덮는 그룹이었다. 그룹은 네 생물(네 그룹) 중 하나이며, 네 생물은 계시록 4장과 이사야 14장같이 많은 군사를 거느리고 있는 자이다. 이자는 지혜가 충족하였고 완전한 인(印)이었으며, 각종 보석으로 단장하여 아름다웠으며, 에덴 동산에 있었고, 하나님이 세워 주셨으므로, 교만하여 자기가 하나님이 되고자 하다가 쫓겨나 사단(뱀)이 된 자이다. 이 뱀이 아담과 하와를 미혹하였다.

This serpent deceived Adam and Eve. Through this work, Satan has been deceiving the pastors raised by God to use them as his workers to deceive people to eat the fruit of the tree of knowledge of good and evil, allowing their spirits to die, and made death reign the world. 

Therefore, God had to leave the world that He created and it was Satan who has been reigning over the world until today. 

이 일로 각 시대마다 하나님이 세우신 목자를 미혹하여 자기 일꾼으로 삼아 사람들을 속이고 미혹하여 자기 곧 선악과나무의 과실을 먹여 죽게 하고 사망이 왕 노릇 하게 해 온 것이다. 하여 하나님은 창조하신 세계에서 떠나게 되셨고, 사단이 세상을 주관해 온 것이 오늘날까지이다. 

The reason for God to create and to re-create

The reason why God had no choice but to re-create the new heaven and earth is because the world became the kingdom of Satan, and so God had to re-establish His kingdom again. 

This is the reason for the re-creation of the heavens and the earth. For if there had been nothing wrong with that first covenant, no place would have been sought for another. However, the previous covenant became corrupt so the new covenant was needed (Heb 8:7-13).

하나님께서 새천지를 창조하지 않으시면 안 되는 이유는 지구촌이 사단의 나라가 되었기 때문에 하나님의 나라를 다시 세우셔야 했던 것이다. 이것이 천지 재창조의 이유이다. 이전 것이 무흠했다면 또다시 새것을 요구할 필요가 없었을 것이다. 이전 것이 부패했기 때문에 새것을 요구하는 것이다.

The spiritual re-creation

The first heaven and first earth that disappear in Revelation 21 are not the physical heaven and earth. Nor are the re-created new heaven and new earth, a physical heaven and earth. It is the re-creation of the spiritual, religious world.

계시록 21장의 없어지는 처음 하늘 처음 땅도 자연계의 천지를 말한 것이 아니며, 다시 창조되는 새 하늘 새 땅도 자연계를 말한 것이 아니며, 종교적·영적 세계를 다시 창조한다는 것이었다.

When this is fulfilled, all spiritual, religious worlds that existed before Revelation’s fulfillment will end as it is described in Revelation 21.

The heaven and earth that passed away was the first heaven that Jesus started, and that has lasted for the past 2,000 years. The new heaven and earth is the second heaven that is created today at the second coming.

이 때 이 계시록 성취 이전에 있었던 모든 종교적·영적 세계는 계시록 21장과 같이 끝나 없어진다. 없어진 천지는 초림 예수께서 2천 년 간 역사해 온 선천(先天)이요, 새 하늘 새 땅은 오늘날 재림 때 창조한 후천(後天)이다.

With what and how will He fulfill this? 

God had to fight against Satan with the truth in order to establish the new kingdom and the prophecies and the promised pastor were needed to fight and win. 

Jesus’ blood takes effect at the Second Coming, and the second coming of Jesus is the time when Revelation is fulfilled.

1) In Revelation 12, the group of the dragon was fought against and overcome with the blood of Jesus. 

2) In Revelation 5:9-10 and 1:5-6, [Jesus] freed us from our sins and made us to be a kingdom and priests with Jesus’ blood. 

3) In Revelation 7:14, the great multitude (people) dressed in white was created as they washed [their robes] with Jesus’ blood. 


The create God’s new kingdom and people!

This is the hope of believers, and this is the fulfillment of God’s will and purpose.

무엇으로 어떻게 할 것인가? 새 나라를 세우기 위해서는 참과 진리로써 사단과 싸워야 했고, 싸우기 위해 예언과 약속의 목자가 필요했으며, 싸워 이겨야 했다. 
예수님의 피의 효력은 예수님 재림 때부터이며, 예수님 재림 때는 계시록이 응하는 때이다. 계시록 12장에서는 예수님의 피로 용의 무리와 싸워 이겼고, 계시록 5장 9-10절과 1장 5-6절에는 그 피로 우리를 죄에서 해방하시고 하나님의 나라와 제사장으로 삼으셨고, 계시록 7장 14절에는 예수님의 피로 씻어 흰 무리(백성)가 되었다. 하나님의 나라와 백성 창조, 이것이 믿는 자들의 소망이요, 하나님이 약속하신 뜻과 목적이 이루어진 것이다.

[Shincheonji Bible Quiz ; Genesis 1:1~2] Why it is dark with no light in this world?

 [Shincheonji Bible Quiz ; Genesis 1:1~2]

Why it is dark with no light in this world?

The earth that God had created still was formless and empty and the heavens were dark with no light. It is still now...

Why it is dark with no light in this world?

하나님이 창조하신 땅이 혼돈하고 공허하며 하늘이 흑암하여 빛이 없다. 세상이 왜 흑암한 것일까?

What are these earth, sky, and waters in Genesis 1:1 before the creation? 

Before God created heaven and earth (i.e. land) on the second and the third days, there was an empty and formless earth, and a dark sky during the first day according to verse 2 (Gn 1:2). There were also waters.

창세기 1:1의 창조 전에 있었던 이것들은 무엇인가? 하나님께서 둘째 날과 셋째 날에 하늘과 땅을 창조하기 전, 첫째 날의 2절에 혼돈하고 공허한 땅이 있었고 흑암한 하늘이 있었다. 그리고 수면(水面)이 있었다. 

Again, God is promising to re-create heaven and earth. This is not referring to the heaven and earth from the first day, but the heaven and earth from the second and third days. 

According to Rv 21, the first heaven and first earth pass away and there is no longer any sea. This is why we see a new heaven and new earth being created in that passage.

The first heaven and earth grow old and weak before passing away. 

They pave the way for the creation of the new heaven and earth.

하나님께서 천지를 창조하시겠다고 하신 천지는 첫째 날의 천지가 아니고 둘째 날과 셋째 날의 천지였다. 이를 계시록 21장에서 본바 처음 하늘과 땅과 바다가 없어지고 새 하늘과 새 땅이 있다 하셨으니 첫 것은 낡아지고 쇄하여 없어지고 새 것이 창조됨을 알린 말씀이었다.

What are the sun, moon and stars, heaven and earth according to the Bible?

Since the family of Israel was illustrated by the sun, moon, and stars in Genesis 37:9-11, the sun, moon, and stars symbolize God’s family. The sun, moon, and stars dwell in heaven, and thus, the church where the family of God dwells is a figurative heaven.

This heaven and the sun, moon, and stars are no different from the heaven (expanse) in Genesis 1:8 and from the sun, moon, and stars in Genesis 1:14-18.

If a church where God’s family dwells is a figurative heaven, then a church where God’s family is absent becomes the earth.

창세기 37:9-11에 이스라엘 가족을 해와 달과 별이라 하였으니, 해·달·별은 하나님의 가족(선민)이다. 해·달·별이 있는 곳이 하늘이니, 하나님의 가족이 있는 교회(장막)가 하늘이다. 이 하늘과 해·달·별은 창세기 1장 8절의 하늘(궁창)과 14-18절의 해·달·별과 다름이 없다. 그리고 하나님의 가족이 있는 교회가 하늘이니, 하나님의 가족이 없는 교회는 땅이다.

Jeremiah 4:23-25 portrays how the earth is formless and empty, and at the heavens, their light was gone, and every bird in the sky had flown away. This is synonymous to the first day in Genesis (Gn 1:2).

예레미야 4:23-25에서는 땅이 혼돈하고 공허하며 흑암이 깊음 위에 있고 새가 다 날아갔다고 묘사하고 있다. 이는 창세기 첫째 날과 같다.

Why it is formless and empty?

This makes known the destruction of God’s tabernacle(church) and his chosen people due to their corruption. 

하나님의 장막(교회)과 선민이 부패로 인하여 멸망받은 것을 알린 말씀이었다. 

What are the light and darkness according to the Bible?

Light symbolizes a person who has God’s word of life, and darkness symbolizes a person who does not have God’s word. These are the meanings of the light and darkness because the Word is referred to as light or life (Jn 1:1-4).

In John 8, Jesus called himself the light, and said that those who follow him will not walk in darkness but instead receive the light of life.

성경이 말한 빛과 어둠은 어떤 것인가? ‘빛’은 하나님의 생명의 말씀이 있는 자이며, ‘어둠’은 하나님의 말씀이 없는 자이다. 그 이유는 말씀을 빛 또는 생명이라 하셨기 때문이다. 또한 예수님은 빛으로 이 땅에 오셨다. 예수님은 요한복음 8장에 자신을 빛이라 하시고, 이를 따르는 자는 어둠에 다니지 아니하고 생명의 빛을 얻으리라 하셨다(요 8:12-16). 

A light must be found for light and darkness, as well as day and night, to exist. 

빛을 찾음으로 어둠과 빛이 있고 밤과 낮이 있게 된다.

1 Thessalonians 5 makes references to the people of day and people of night. John 1 also mentions the people of light and the people of darkness.

The scriptures, however, state that the light shines in the darkness, but the darkness has not understood it (Jn 1:5, 9-11).

The fact that the light shines in the world of darkness shows how the ignorant and corrupt era of darkness (night) is coming to an end, and that a new era is launching. 

It makes it clear now that a new era is created because a previous era becomes corrupt. 

데살로니가전서 5장의 말씀에 낮(빛)과 밤(어둠)의 사람이 있고, 요한복음 1장에도 빛과 어둠의 사람이 있다. 그런데 빛이 어두움에 비취되 어두움이 깨닫지 못하더라고 하였다(요 1:5, 9-11). 어두움의 세상에 빛이 비취었다는 것은, 무지하고 부패한 어두움(밤)의 시대가 가고 새 시대가 왔음을 알 수 있다. 이로 보건대 한 시대가 부패함으로 새로운 시대가 창조되는 것이었다.

Why it is dark with no light in this world?

The chosen people in each era betrayed and did not believe. The reason for this betrayal is because the chosen people were deceived by Satan. 

Furthermore, the lack of faith caused the people to be deceived and fail in keeping God’s commands.

그 이유는 시대마다 약속한 선민이 배도하고 믿지 않았기 때문이며, 배도한 이유는 사단이 선민을 미혹했기 때문이며, 미혹받는 원인은 믿음 부족으로 하나님의 계명을 지키지 못한 데서이다.

Since the fall of Adam, the world became a world of sin. It has become a formless world, empty with darkness over the surface of the deep because God, who is light, had departed. It is a world without the true light.

아담 범죄 이후, 세상은 죄악 세상이 되었다. 빛 되신 하나님이 떠나가심으로 혼돈하고 공허하여 흑암이 깊음 위에 있고, 참 빛이 없는 세상이 된 것이다.

The Court's Ruling on CBS False Report ; The winning a lawsuit of Shincheonji Church

The Court's Ruling on CBS False Report ; The winning a lawsuit of Shincheonji Church

In my last article, I wrote about the evidence that Shincheonji is true. ☞ https://goo.gl/sV24AV

Please read you read above article~~ 😊

Why do we call our church 'Shincheonji Church of Jesus, the Temple of the Tabernacle of the Testimony'?

Shincheonji Church which bases its life of faith on the Word from the Holy Bible, is growing rapidly as the number of the church members are reaching 170,000.

The infringement of the freedom of religion

 

The Republic of Korea guarantees the freedom of religion in its constitution, and naturally the citizens of  Republic of Korea have the right to choose the religion.

But... The Christian Council of Korea(CCK) has continued to violate human rights of the members of Shincheonji Church, including by restricting freedoms of religion.

Nevertheless, It is revealed that the Shincheonji Church is not affiliated with the corrupted CCK, but rather centers the life of faith on the Word.

We are all owners and the same people living in a liberal democratic country, whether we are politicians, religion people or members of society. 

For this reason, all of us must not divide one into two by taking sides.

정치인이든 종교인이든 사회인이든 간에 자유 민주주의 안에서는 다 같은 주인이며, 다 같은 국민이다. 하여 편향적으로 둘로 나누어서는 안 된다.

Why are they persecuting?

Congregation members from many different churches are flocking to Shincheonji Church by experiencing the word of truth and the work that is being fulfilled according to the Bible. 

Alerted by the dramatic growth of Shincheonji, Korean Christian churches are arbitrarily labeling Shincheonji as ‘heresy’ without any biblical basis or reasoning in order to stop their own congregation members from going to Shincheonji. 

신천지교회의 급성장으로 인해 위기감을 느낀 한국 기독교계는 자기 교단(교회) 소속 교인들이 신천지로 가지 못하게 하려고 성경적인 근거나 이유 없이 자의적으로 신천지를 ‘이단’이라 정죄하였다. 

The CCK has put the blame for all of their wrongs on Shincheonji, which goes against the Bible. 

Thus, We have been compelled to make a plea and reveal the truth as we can no longer endure it. 

한기총은 성경에서 벗어나 자기들이 저지른 잘못을 신천지에 뒤집어씌웠고, 우리는 참다못해 그 사실을 밝혀 호소하는 것이다. 

Why did the 12 million members the CCK shrink to 6 million?

The number of CCK has now decreased to 6 million. This is because the CCK distorted the meaning of the Bible with something else, worshipped other gods, bought and sold leadership positions, ordained pastors with money, and fed lies to the congregation. 

The CCK is now split into two, three separate organizations, and they even call each other heresies.

왜 1,200만의 성도 수가 600만이 되었겠습니까? 그 이유는 이들이 성경의 뜻을 다른 것으로 바꾸었고, 다른 신에게 절하였고, 회장 자리를 돈으로 팔고 사고, 돈 받고 목사 안수를 해주고, 거짓말을 양식으로 삼기 때문이다. 한기총은 둘로 나뉘어 서로를 이단이라고 한다.

CBS works to degrade the image of the Shincheonji Church by falsely broadcasting the illegal acts of Shincheonji Church and represents the opposing view of the Christian Council of Korea(CCK). 

CBS tried to frame an innocent person a sinner with untrue assertions. Also, the report should be fair and unbiased yet they intentionally reported distorted information to persecute and attack a particular religion. 

How is this not a biased report?

CBS는 사실이 아닌 내용으로 생사람을 죄인으로 만들려고 하였다. 공익 방송으로서 공정하고 객관적인 보도를 해야 함에도 불구하고 특정 종교를 핍박하고 비난하기 위한 고의적 왜곡 보도를 하였으니 어찌 편파 보도가 아니라 하겠는가?

Although the Shincheonji Church has been attempting to understand their acts with love, but because of its, the Shincheonji Church would like to announce a few incidents as the following.

The followings are examples of such incidents.

The winning a lawsuit of Shincheonji

1. On November 20th, 2015, CBS published an article with the title "Shincheonji's attempted propagation activity in the name of filial fesitival in school abandoned" that Shincheonji attempted a propagation activity by renting the school cafeteria and hosting a festival against the community members.

▶ The reason is as following : It is confirmed from the Daejeon City Office Of Education that Shincheonji has been conducting volunteer service activity nationwide with the name of Shincheonji Volunteer Association since 2010.

Yet, CBS has described the pure service activity as propagation without accurate ascertainment of the truth. 

Furthermore, it is found that Shincheonji was inflicted with a damage of defamation, such as being misunderstood that it is rejected to use school facility due to reason that it is a religious group. 

2. Starting March 16th, 2015, CBS aired a documentary called, “People who have Fallen into Shincheonji.” 

It is absurd to publicly talk down on a specific denomination when the Republic of Korea does not have a national religion, just from the CCK’s arbitrary judgment to determine Shincheonji as heretical. 

Such an act of condoning human rights violation was stray from journalistic ethics. 

기독교가 대한민국 국교도 아닌 상황에서 한기총이 이단이라고 규정했다는 것을 명분삼아 근거 없이 특정종단을 폄훼하고 인권유린 행위를 옹호하는 방송을 한 CBS는 취재윤리를 벗어난 것이다. 

The documentary of CBS proved itself to be motivated to introduce the so-called “heresy counseling facility” to the public and raise sponsorship. 

CBS 방송은 이단상담소 등을 소개하며 후원금을 모금하는 돈벌이 방송임을 스스로 입증한 것이다.

CBS’s Atrocious Biased and Edited Report

CBS edited the contents of Shincheonji Chairman’s sermon and reported. They intentionally edited to persecute and furthermore denounce Shincheonji.

Therefore, the court indicated that CBS has a duty to offer corrected and objections report.

CBS의 악랄한 편파•짜깁기 보도, CBS는 신천지 총회장의 설교 내용의 일부만 편집하여 보도했다. 이는 신천지를 핍박하고, 나아가 신천지를 매장하기 위해 고의적으로 설교 내용의 앞뒤를 잘라서 말한 것이다. 그리하여 법원은 CBS가 정정 및 반란 보도를 해야 할 의무가 있다고 지적했다.

The reason why congregation members are gathering to Shincheonji 

The pastors, elders, evangelists, and congregation members under the CCK are gathering to Shincheonji because God’s truth is with Shincheonji.

Shincheonji Church is putting in the effort to raise people who hold God’s law, that is, the word in their hearts and minds. 

한기총의 목사들, 장로들, 전도사들, 각 부서의 성도들이 새천지에 모여온 이유는 새천지에는 하나님과 진리가 있기 때문입니다. 신천지예수교회는 하나님의 법 곧 말씀을 생각에 두고 마음에 기록한 하나님의 사람들을 양성하기 위해 노력하고 있다.

Spreading the Word of Life without Cost for It Was Received without Cost

The ultimate objective of a believer is heaven, the standard of a life of faith is the Bible, and a believer must act according to the will of God as it is recorded in the Scriptures. 

I hope that  all pastors and saints should stay away from hatefulness, dispute and become the true love and light.

신앙인의 목적은 천국이고, 신앙의 기준은 하나님의 성경이며, 행위는 기록된 하나님의 뜻대로 하는 것이다. 지상의 모든 목자들과 성도들은 미움·분쟁에서 떠나 참 사랑과 빛이 되기를 바란다.

Please read you the above article~~

Whether or not the denomination is a heresy, We should confirm not the rumor but the on the Bible as our standard.

Regardless of the name of their church or town, parents, worldly knowledge, career or academic background, people are heretics or orthodox depending on what kind of spirit is with them.

Those who are with God’s spirit will act upon God’s will, and those who are with the spirit of the devil will act upon the will of the devil. 

그 교회가 진짜 이단인지 아닌지는 오직 성경에 근거하여 확인해봐야 한다. 교명과 지명과 부모와 세상 지식과 직장과 학교와 상관없이 자기와 함께하는 신에 의해 이단도 되고 정통도 될 수 있다. 하나님의 영이 함께하는 사람은 하나님의 뜻대로 할 것이고, 마귀의 악령이 함께하는 사람은 마귀의 뜻대로 할 것이다.

Characteristics of corruption 1. lies

At the time of Jesus’ first coming, the Israelites were mistaken thinking that they were the only chosen people of God out of the whole world and were the orthodox believers. This is why they proudly told Jesus that their father was God.

Jesus’ response to their words, however, was quite different. Jesus told them that their father was not God, but the liar, the devil, and that they accepted lies and spoke lies, just like their own father.

초림 당시 이스라엘 사람들은 온 세계에서 자기들만 선민이고, 정통 신앙인인 줄 알고 있었다. 그러기에 그들은 하나님은 우리 아버지라고 예수님께 말했다. 이 때 예수님의 대답은 달랐다. ‘하나님이 너희의 아버지가 아니라, 너희의 아비는 거짓말쟁이 마귀라.’고 하셨고, ‘너희도 너희 아비같이 거짓말을 좋아하며 지어낸다.’고 하셨다(요 8:31-44 참고).

Characteristics of corruption 2. Plot, Accusation

The priests and elders believed in the gentile king, Caesar, without believing in Jesus, and they became obsessed with thoughts of killing Jesus.

그 제사장들과 장로들은 이방의 왕 가이사는 믿어도 예수님은 믿지 않았으며, 사생결단으로 예수님을 죽이는 데 혈안이 되어 있었다.

Characteristics of corruption 3. Murder

Source ▶ https://youtu.be/gvUcf5c1RUw

Those priests and elders were the ones who put Jesus and his disciples to death at that time (refer to Mt 27). They were not God's pastors but the pastors of Satan.....

예수님과 그 제자들도 당시의 제사장들과 장로들에 의해 죽임을 당했다(마 27장 참고). 그들은 하나님의 목자가 아니라 사단의 목자였던 것이다.

Characteristics of corruption 4. Persecutes, exile 

Those who murdered God’s messengers were the people who called themselves God’s pastors and who seized ecclesiastical authority at that time. They were neither the people from different religions nor were they non-believers.

죽인 자들은 당시 하나님의 목자라고 하는, 교권 잡은 자들이었고, 타종교인이나 불신자가 아니었다. 

The Reason that Satan to Interfere with God’s Work

Satan creates lies through his pastor to persecute believers of God and to interfere with their work, because believers of God are able to reveal Satan’s identity and make known the true God.

사단이 자기 목자를 통해 거짓말을 지어내어 하나님을 믿는 성도들과 그 일을 핍박하고 방해하는 이유는, 하나님을 믿는 성도들이 자기들의 정체를 드러내어 밝히기 때문이요, 또 참 하나님을 알리기 때문이다.

What about today at the second coming?

Just like the days of the first coming, Today the world of Christianity has also become corrupt like Adam. 

The pastors and elders are even mobilizing the authority figures of this world to act against Shincheonji Church of Jesus. They have been meeting frequently about ways to get rid of the Chairman of Shincheonji Church.

What is more, they gave false information to the MBC PD Note program with the vicious intention of removing the Chairman from this society.

초림 때와 같이 목자들과 장로들과 세상 권위자까지 동원하여 신천지예수교의 총회장을 없애려고 수차 공론을 하였고, 그들은 PD수첩을 통해 신천지를 매장시키기 위해 거짓 정보를 MBC PD수첩에 제공했다.

Christian Media Network of Korea such as CBS, KMIB, etc. aired a false and biased report about Shincheonji.

The Christian Council of Korea (CCK) are criticizing, blaming, and labeling Shincheonji as a heresy. They have been bribing false witnesses and trying every possible means to sue the Chairman.

Is Shincheonji a heresy?!?

It is not God, but Korean pastors who decided to label Shincheonji as a heresy. 

Since 1990, many Christians have joined Shincheonji after listening to Shincheonji’s revealed word (i. e. the word of revelation).

This mass exodus of Christians angered many Korean pastors, and in response, these pastors have held several meetings to work out strategies for preventing their congregation members from leaving their churches.

신천지를 이단이라고 한 것은 하나님이 아니며, 기성 교회 목자들이다. 1990년부터 신천지예수교의 계시 말씀을 듣고 수많은 기성교회 성도들이 모여오기 시작하였다. 그러자 기성 교회 목자들 사이에서 소동이 일어났다. 이에 따라 목회자들은 교인들이 떠나지 못하게하는 전략을 세우기 위해 모의했다.

The Christian Council of Korea (CCK) decided to call Shincheonji a heresy to avoid losing any more congregation members.

Adding to or taking away from Revelation, giving false testimony, loving money, power, and authority, turning away from love and blessing to lies, swearing, and cursing, and blaming someone else are acts of Satan. 

자기네 성도들이 빠져 나가지 못하게 하기 위한 대책을 세운 것이 ‘신천지가 이단’이라는 말이었다.

What kind of Organization is CCK?

The Christian Council of Korea (CCK) was established in 1989 with many Korean Presbyterian churches as its charter members. Today, it is considered to be a representative conservative Korean Christian organization.

The foundation of the CCK was originally intended to meet certain political needs. With its origin focused on the mobilization of conservative Korean Christians for political gain, they cannot claim to be orthodox. Nor can they claim to be representative of Korean Christian organizations. 

한기총은 1989년에 만들어진, 대한예수교장로회 위주의 교단들이 회원 교단으로 가입한 개신교 교단의 연합회이며, 대표적인 보수 기독교 단체로 여겨지고 있다. 한기총의 출범 이유가 정치적인 목적에 있었고, 또 보수 기독교인들만의 결집이었으므로, 정통이 될 수 없는 것은 물론이며 기독교의 대표로 인정할 수도 없는 것이다. 

True saints are those who act reasonably according to the Word of truth, revelation, Holy Spirit, and the will of God.

Shincheonji has the holy spirit and the true pastor who speaks the revealed word; Shincheonji Church of Jesus is truly orthodox. (Jn 14; Jn 16; Rv 10)

I ask and pray that everyone reads this message and attains the correct understanding of heresies.

신천지는 성령과 계시 말씀을 증거하는 참 목자가 있고 참 신앙인이 있는 곳으로, 정통 중의 정통이다. 위에 말한 내용을 읽고 이단에 대한 오해에서 벗어나 참 의미를 깨닫기 바란다. 

We should confirm whether or not the church is a heresy using the Bible as our standard. Those who belong to the CCK distorted the meaning of the Bible with something else, and teach their doctrines to the congregation. 

Through these following words of comparing the theologies and faiths of Shincheonji and the CCK, let us discern that who is the truth and who is the heretic.

Evidence that Shincheonji is true (1), The Standard of Orthodoxy and Heresy

In my last article, I wrote about the Story of the people in the shincheonji and the Doctrine Comparison ☞ https://goo.gl/otYO4F

Through these article of comparing the theologies and faiths of Shincheonji and the CCK, I wanted many people to discern who is the true orthodox and who is the true heretic.

Today I'd like to tell you about the Standard of Orthodoxy and Heresy.

Is this church a heresy?!?

Is it a heresy from God’s point of view or is it a heresy from the point of view of men? 

The Bible does not mention the word orthodoxy. Also, the Bible does mention the word heresy, but it does not give a clear definition. 

We should confirm whether or not the church is a heresy using the Bible as our standard.

Let’s discover the correct answer.

하나님이 만든 이단인가, 사람이 만든 이단인가? 성경에는 정통이라는 말이 없으며, 이단이라는 말은 있으나 ‘이런 것이 이단’이라는 말은 없다. 그 교회가 진짜 이단인지 아닌지는 성경에 근거하여 확인해봐야 한다. 그 답을 아래에서 알아보자.

  

In the spiritual world, there is the spirit of God and the spirit of the devil. The spirit of the devil is also known as Satan, the dragon, and the serpent, but they are all the same being. 

영의 세계에는 창조주 하나님의 영(신)이 있고 마귀의 영이 있다. 마귀의 영은 사단, 용, 뱀이라고도 하니 이들은 같은 존재이다. 

What is the Orthodoxy and Heresy?

People commit sin on their own as they are imperfect or they commit sin habitually. But this is just sin and its nature is different from that of Heresy. Heresy is about ‘God’ and ‘doctrine’.

Simply, It is what testify differently from the Bible(different gospels and different doctrines).

사람이 부족하여 일방적으로 죄를 짓는 것이 있고 습관적으로 죄를 짓는 것이 있으나, 이는 죄이고 이단이라는 말은 그 근본이 다른 것이다. 이단은 ‘신’과 ‘교리’를 두고 말하는 것이다. 이단은 성경과 다른 내용(다른 복음, 다른 교리)을 증거하는 것이다.

Adam who deviated from the original path. He is the pastor who betrayed, but Noah is the new pastor from the view of God.

The person or place which has diverged from God is the true heresy which has parted from the original religion. 

근본에서 달라진 것은 아담이다. 하나님의 관점에서 보면, 아담은 배도한 목자인 반면에 노아는 새목자이다. 하나님에게서 떠나는 것이 본래의 종교로부터 떠난 이단이다. 

God prophesied about the future of Judah and Jerusalem and made it known to His people that Jesus would come.

About 2,000 years ago, Jesus came and carried out the work of salvation. Many believers followed Jesus around at that time. Seeing this, the priests and elders worked to remove Jesus and his disciples, they accused by calling them heretics, or demon-possessed and then excommunicated or killed them.

하나님은 이스라엘과 유다와 예루살렘에 대해 수없이 장래사를 알려 왔고, 예수님이 오실 것도 알려 왔다. 이천년 전, 예수님께서 오셨고 구원의 역사를 하였다. 이 때 많은 신앙인들이 예수님을 따랐다. 이를 본 당시의 제사장들과 장로들이 모여 예수님과 그 제자들을 척결하려고 ‘이단, 귀신 들린 자’ 등 누명을 씌워 죽이거나, 쫓아내고 추방하였다. 

Is Jesus really heretics?

The priests and elders who did not believe that Jesus came according to the promise of the prophecies became slaves to authority, fame, money. Consequently, Israelites were the true heretics, since they swayed from God’s path and chose a different path just like Adam. 

Whereas Jesus was the true orthodoxy, since God and his words dwelled with him. 

In conclusion, the true and original orthodoxy is the place where God and his words are present. 

참으로 예수님이이 이단이었는가? 예언의 약속대로 오신 예수님을 믿지 않았던 목자들과 장로들은 교권과 명예와 돈의 노예가 되었다. 이스라엘 백성들은 아담같이 하나님의 길이 아닌 다른 길로 갔으니 이단이었다. 반면에, 예수님은 하나님과 그 말씀이 함께하시므로 정통이었다. 다시 말하지만, 하나님과 그 말씀이 있는 곳이 근본 그대로의 정통 종교이다.

The acts of those who are with Satan

The laws made through the religious authority of the people who do not know the true meaning of the Bible are nothing more than self-made laws.

Actions based on one’s own personal judgment apart from God’s word are lawlessness, and they cannot be anything but Satan’s actions.

Adding to or taking away from Revelation, giving false testimony, loving money, power, and authority, turning away from love and blessing to lies, swearing, and cursing, and blaming someone else are acts of Satan. 

성경의 참뜻을 알지 못하는 자들이 만들어 내는 교권과 교법은 자의적 교법이다. 하나님의 말씀을 떠난 자의적 행동은 불법이며, 사단의 행동이 아닐 수 없다. 계시록을 가감하고, 거짓 증거를 하고, 돈과 권세와 명예를 사랑하고, 사랑과 축복이 아닌 거짓말과 욕설과 저주를 일삼고, 거짓말을 지어내어 다른 사람에게 뒤집어씌우는 행동은 사단의 행동이다. 

The acts of those who are with God

It is only when God, who is the origin of religion, returns, that sinners can be restored, reborn, and recreated.

Just as Paul testified in Heb 8, “If there had been nothing wrong with that first covenant, no place would have been sought for another,” there was a need for the new era, new pastor, and new people due to the corruption of the first ones. 

This first ones always did not keep the promise with God. 😐 😐 😐 The previous era became corrupt so the new era was needed.

Therefore, the previous era becomes heresy that has deteriorated, and the new era becomes the orthodoxy.

Living according to the promised scripture is what it means to be a true believer of Orthodoxy. Those who believe in God must live a life of faith according to God’s word, the Bible.

죄를 범한 자에 대한 회복도, 또 다시 나게 하는 재창조도 오직 근본이신 하나님께서 오시어 창조하시게 된다. 

바울이 증거한 말(히 8장)과 같이, 이전 것이 무흠(無欠)했다면 둘째 것을 요구할 일이 없었으려니와, 첫째 것이 부패했기에 새로운 시대와 새 목자와 새 민족이 필요했던 것이다. 이전 것이 부패했기 때문에 새것을 요구하는 것이다.  이전 시대는 변질돼버린 이단이고, 새로운 시대는 정통이 된다. 약속한 경서의 뜻대로 하는 것이 참 신앙인이다. 하나님을 믿는 성도는 하나님의 책 성경의 뜻대로 신앙을 해야 한다. 

What is the evidence of either God’s presents or His absence?

The places without God and his words are the new religions which have drifted away from the original religion.

하나님께서 함께 하시는지 않는지의 증거는 무엇인가? 하나님과 그 말씀이 없는 곳은 이단이고, 신흥종교이다

The true orthodoxy and the original religion are the person or place where love, forgiveness, blessings, and the truth are found.

To whom do you belong—Orthodoxy or Heresy?

참과 근본은 사랑과 용서와 축복과 진리가 있는 곳이다.  당신은 정통과 이단 중 어느 소속인가?
