Shincheonji Daejeon Church, I wish you good health!
Shincheonji Daejeon church donated 6,000 KF-94 masks and hand sanitizers to senior citizens and neighbors who are having a hard time with Corona 19 on the 22nd.
The reason why Shincheonji Daejeon Church distributed masks and hand sanitizers to neighbors is that they can't hold a 'year-end filial piety' this year. To keep pace with the spread of the Corona 19 virus and ‘social distancing, Shincheonji Daejeon church distributed masks to 15 places at 15 senior citizen center. In addition, they distributed masks and hand sanitizers to nearby shops and neighbors in need.
An elderly senior citizen at the Senior Citizen said, "I attended the filial piety every year and I remember that I was happy to greet you with a smile. I understand Church is also having difficult time. I Thank you for thinking of us."
'Social distance' made it difficult for natural encounters and everyday life. On this day, Shincheonji Daejeon Church delivered masks and hand sanitizers keeping prevention of epidemics.
This service, which distributed masks and hand sanitizers, is called 'Happy Together' service. This is a volunteer activity conducted by Shincheonji Daejeon church to work with the underprivileged who are in trouble with Corona 19. Through the 'Happy Together' service, they not only donate masks, but also provide quarantine services starting on Senior Citizens Center.
The year-end filial piety feast has been held since 2015 conducted by Shincheonji Daejeon Church with seniors attending in order to convey thanks and filial piety.
In addition, Shincheonji Church completed the third plasma donation from November 16th to December 4th for the development of COVID-19 treatment. Among the members of the Shincheonji Daegu Church, where there were many corona 19 confirmed cases, 3,741 participated in the donation of plasma. Among them, 1,561 people completed plasma donation more than once.
Today I would like to introduce you to the Shincheonji Church of Jesus I attend. I know that the Shincheonji Church of Jesus, which became the center of the corona pandemic in Korea in February to March, became an object of hatred by people and there were many other rumors.
However, in this post, I would write about Shincheonji Church of Jesus, The Temple of the Tabernacle (aka Shincheonji Church) which is fulfilled according to the Bible. Through Jesus, God promised in advance in the Bible that Shincheonji (a new heaven and a new earth) will be established in the Bible (Rev. 21, Rev 15:4~5). And as promised, He established Shincheonji in this land.
The Shincheonji Church which was created by God, and the 12 tribes of its temple (Rev. 7) did not exist before, and are the only kingdom and temple of God in the world. The 12 tribes created according to God's will are testifying that the heaven which Jesus promised is near.
Shincheonji church is trying to become the reality of love like light, rain, and air, like a lamp that illuminates the world according to the will of Jesus who practiced the love of the cross.
Shincheonji Church is the one and only church established according to the promise of Jesus. The official name of Shincheonji Church is 'Shincheonji Church of Jesus, The Temple of the Tabernacle'. 'Shincheonji (新天地)' is an abbreviation of 'Shin Cheon Shin Ji (新天新地)'. It means a new tabernacle and new church members (2 Peter 3:13, Rev. 14:1-5, Rev. 15:5).
The name of denomination which is 'Jesus denomination' indicates that Jesus is the head of Shincheonji Temple. Therefore, it is a false claim that Man Hee Lee is the head of Shincheonji. 'The temple of the tabernacle of the Testimony' means a place to see, hear, and testify of the reality of fulfillment in Revelation. A temple is a holy house where we worship God. In addition, the temple of the tabernacle of the testimony is a promised temple where all nations come to be healed and to worship the Lord (Rev 15:4-5).
Shincheonji Church is the only church established on this earth according to the new covenant (New Testament) made with the blood of Jesus and where God is with. Shincheonji is preaching the word of Revelation which is fulfilled.
The word 'new heaven and new earth' appears in Rev. 21. The new heaven and new earth appears after the first heaven and the first earth had passed away. Some shepherds say the first heaven and the first earth biologically and geologically so that they presume the end of the earth is coming. However, this testimony is not correct. In Ecclesiastes 1:4 and 2 Peter 3:4, it is testifying that the earth and all things created by God remains forever.
First of all, in order to properly understand the new heaven and the new earth, it is important to know that prophecies in the Bible are hidden in parables. In Matthew 13:34-35, to fulfill the prophecies of the Old Testament prophets, Jesus said that he spoke the secrets of the kingdom of heaven in a parable. However, this parable does not continue to be a parable. In John 16:25, he promised that he will tell us plainly when a time is coming.
If so, let's find out what is the first heaven, first earth, new heaven and new earth that he would say plainly. In Genesis 37:9-11, the family of Jacob, God's people compares to the sun, moon, and stars. This means He compared Jacob's tabernacle where God was with him, to heaven compared his family to the sun, moon, and stars in the sky.
In other words, Israel, God's chosen people, is compared to the sun, moon, and stars. So, tabernacle of the chosen people is to become the sky with the sun, moon, and stars. Heaven and earth in Rev. 21 also refer to the tabernacle established on this earth and its chosen people. Therefore, the first heaven and the first earth passing away means God's tabernacle and its chosen people became an apostate. Thus, they were doomed. This signifies the end of spiritual Israel generation.
The creation of a new heaven and a new earth means that God creates a new tabernacle and its people through the newly chosen shepherd. This signifies the creation of new spiritual Israel generation. About 6,000 years ago, there have been many incidents that previous generation ended and the new generation created. Let's take an example.
1. Adam ate the fruit of good and evil that God told him not to eat. Through Adam's 9th generation Noah, God judged the sinful world of Adam with a flood and opened a new era through Noah through Noah's ark.
2. Due to sins of Noah's son Ham, grandson Canaan, and their descendants, God left Noah's world. After that, God came to Noah's 10th generation Abraham and made a covenant. After that, He came to Moses and judged the sinful world of Canaan
3. Physical Israel was divided into North and South due to Solomon's crimes, and was destroyed by foreign nations. As promised to the Old Testament prophets, at the time of the first coming, Jesus created spiritual Israel ending physical Israel.
Now, let's learn more about previous generation and new generation in Revelation chapter 21.
At the second coming of Jesus, in Revelation Chapter 1, the angels of the seven churches of seven golden lampstands tabernacle who were working in the right hand of Jesus appear. However, they broke the covenant with God as seen in Revelation chapters 2 and 3. Through the prophet John, Jesus sent a letter urging them to repent, but they did not repent of the act of apostasy.
That is why they will be destroyed by the dragon with seven heads and ten horns coming out of the sea appearing in Revelation Chapter 13 so that they came to an end. This heaven and earth are the last creations of God in the Christian world. So, the end of this 7 golden lampstands tabernacle marks the end of the Christian world. Therefore, this is the end of spiritual Israel generation.
Since the previous generation has come to an end, the new generation must be created. In Revelation, the end of previous generation is perished and corrupted so that spiritual Israel ended in Revelation 6. And, how is the new generation created? Among spiritual Israel, by harvesting the chosen ones and sealing it with the word of God as shown in Revelation 7, new spiritual Israel is created. And, this is the new generation.
The new generation is created through the newly chosen shepherd after the first heaven and the first earth disappear. The place created in this way is the new heaven, new earth which is Shincheonji. The spiritual kingdom of heaven, the holy city of New Jerusalem, will come to Shincheonji, and the eternal kingdom of God will be created.
As stated in John 3:31-34, the one from the heaven speaks as one from the heaven and the one from the earth speaks as one from the earth. The reason Shincheonji provides the right testimony is that Shincheonji belongs to heaven.
In John 14:24, Jesus did not speak arbitrarily but spoke the words of God who sent Jesus. This proves God's being in Jesus so that Jesus could testify God's Word. Even today, the promised shepherd of Shincheonji is not testifying arbitrarily, but is testifying the Word of God because he received and ate the book of revelation through an angel written in Revelation 10.
On the contrary, as written in John 8:44-47, when the one Arbitrarily speaks his/her own, the one is speaking a lie. Testifying of false doctrine is because the devil's god is in them. Hearing a lie which is a false doctrine means receiving the seed of the devil resulting that you become a child of Satan going to hell.
The Bible said if you add or subtract Revelation, you are cursed and can not enter heaven(Revelation 22:18-19). When I first heard this verse, I have come to admit that the doctrine I have heard so far before Shincheonji has been false. The doctrine which shocked me for the first time was that Adam was not the first man of mankind, but the man who first understood the word of God, that is, the shepherd.
Scientifically, it makes no sense that Adam was the first man in mankind. In the Bible, people who do not understand God's Word are called beasts. Like this, Adam was the first man in God's eyes. Also, many churches teach that the serpent in Genesis is a real snake. However, in Revelation chapters 20 and 12, the serpent was a dragon, Satan, and the devil. In conclusion, the serpent was a Satan which was a metaphorical animal.
Like this, Shincheonji accurately informs and testifies of everything in the Bible and even testifies to the reality of the book of Revelation. If you believe in God and Jesus, You must not only believe in the book of Revelation but also understand all the words that are testified in the 66 books of the Bible.

Shincheonji church “Aspirations for the end of Corona 19”… 3rd Global Prayer Service of Religious People
Let's pray with religious people from all over the world at the same day, at the same time, and our each place for the eradication of the global corona19 virus.”
Shincheonji Church(Chairman Lee Man Hee) wishes for an end to the new coronavirus infection (Corona 19) around the world and holds an online prayer meeting for the government, medical staff, patients, survivors, and citizens who are focusing their efforts on quarantine.
The Shincheonji Church of Jesus suggested that all the religious people who share their will join with a unified heart at the “3rd Global Allied Prayer Meeting,” held non-face-to-face at 3 pm (Korean time) on the 15th.
It will be broadcast live on the official YouTube channel of Shincheonji Church and all congregation from domestic and foreign participated.
In addition, anyone wishing to end Corona 19, a world religion, could participate.
This prayer meeting, at the suggestion of Chairman Man Hee Lee, was prepared to end Corona 19 in the global village along with the development of effective and rapid treatments ahead of a large-scale plasma donation of 4,000 cures for Corona 19 at Shincheonji Church. In particular, it was meant to overcome the crisis by transcending each denomination and religion by taking the lead in a disaster. Furthermore, to overcome the Corona 19 disaster, it has meaning to cross the wall of denominations and religions and to pray as one of all religious people.
Chairman Man Hee Lee proposed an online prayer meeting saying "Too many people are suffering from Corona 19, especially in February, many infections occurred in the church, and the members and citizens also suffered a lot. We must proactively pray to God for the end of Corona 19 and for the nation and the people. In addition, as the world is suffering from Corona 19, all religious people from all over the world should come together to get over disaster.
In addition, Chairman Lee stressed "To prevent the congregation from becoming infected with Corona 19, even if the closure of church facilities is lifted, do not conduct face-to-face worship or meetings. Quarantine measures and management of congregations must be taken.
Earlier, from the beginning of the spread of Corona 19 in this February, Shincheonji church has been praying for the end of the coronavirus, the safety of officials from the quarantine authorities and medical staff, and the healing of patients at each service.
An official from Shincheonji Church said "Corona 19 hit the world and many people lost precious lives. What can our religious people do for patients and their families suffering from the ongoing threat of life to overcome COVID-19 and for people including the people who fight for Coronavirus, government quarantine and medical staff and volunteers.
In addition, an official from Shincheonji Church said "The intention is to pray with all members of the congregation for a more rapid development of treatment and an end to Corona 19 ahead of the donation of plasma to the 3rd group with 4,000 cure members participating. We will do everything we can with a responsible attitude until the end of the COVID-19 outbreak."
Earlier, on September 2nd and 16th, the 1st and 2nd prayer meetings were held at the proposal of Chairman Man Hee Lee.
Meanwhile, Shincheonji Church has been conducting non-face-to-face online worship services since February 18th.
Woman: Oh, Instructor... During the last lesson, you said we should know the Bible because there are God and the devil, the two kinds of spirits. But, even though I read the Bible, I can't understand it.
Instructor: Ha-ha, I will help you.
Instructor: What do you know about God and Satan?
Woman: I think God is the Almighty, and Satan is the one who makes people distressed.
Instructor: Let's figure it out. God created the heavens and the earth and all things(Gn 1:1). He is Spirit(Jn 4:24). He is not a creation but self-existent (Ex 3:13-15)
God: I am who I am.
Instructor: God created all things, visible and invisible (Col 1:16).
Woman: The visible thing means the physical world where people live, and the invisible thing means the spiritual world where God and angels live, right?
Instructor: Very good! That's right. That's why the spiritual world was divided into God's kingdom of heaven, and hell which is ruled by Satan.
Woman: Um, then I have a question.
Instructor: Oh? Do you have a question?
Woman: Who made Satan? If there was no Satan, there wouldn't be hell, right?
Instructor: Satan who is called the devil, or the dragon, or the serpent of old (Rv 12:9, Rv 20:2), was originally an angel that God made.
Woman: He is an angel made by God? How come? Doesn't that mean God created Satan? Is God a strange God?
Instructor: No, he didn't. There is a story of how this angel became Satan. We can know it through Isaiah 14 and Ezekiel 28. The angel who should have been ruled by God (Ps 103:22) became greedy and arrogant, so he wanted to be God.
Angel: Um, can I become God?
Instructor: Because he went against God, he was kicked out of God's kingdom.
Angel: I am God.
God: How dare you!
Woman: This means that at first he was an angel, but because he was greedy and corrupt, he became Satan, right?
Instructor: Yes. That's right. For example, although a parent teaches a child in hopes that he will become a good person, whether the child becomes a teacher or a criminal is ultimately up to him.
Woman: Oh, I see. I think God was so sad. I misunderstood God. Before today, I thought God made Satan to make us distressed.
Instructor: I am very glad to hear that you understand now.
Instructor: Now, what we need to think about is the relationship between the spiritual world and us. Spirits influence people through thoughts and ideologies because they have no body. And then, depending on which kind of spirit is using us, we can belong to God or Satan.
Woman: What" You mean those who belong to God are good people and those who belong to Satan are bad people, right?
Instructor: There is a standard in the Bible regarding this. If you read 1 John, it says that "Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God" (1 Jn 4:1).
Woman: Test? We should test the spirits that are invisible? Why?
Instructor: It is because Satan, who wanted to be like God, takes his seat in the temple of God, displaying himself as God (2 Thes 2:4).
Woman: God's temple is a church, right?
Instructor: Yes. Because God and Satan work in one place, the church, we should distinguish which spirit is working through men, right?
Woman: Of course. But how can we distinguish the spirits?
Instructor: First, in John 17:3, it says "Now this is eternal life, that they may know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom you have sent."
Jesus' words: This is eternal life, that they may know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom You have sent.
Instructor: In this verse, it says "true" God.
Woman: True God?
Instructor: Because there is a false god, he said true God. Satan's spirit calls himself God as a false god. That's why Jesus said "true God" to discern the spirits. In this verse, the true God is the spirit, and the one sent by Him is the flesh, right? On the other hand, the one used by the false god's spirit is a false pastor (2 Thes 2:4-12).
Woman: I think if the devil comes to a shaman or a Buddhist monk and calls himself God, people will not be deceived. That's why the devil comes to a pastor who believes in God and works through him, right? How can we distinguish a true pastor from a false pastor? Pastors look so holy.
Instructor: That's why we can't distinguish the spirits by appearance. So, in John 6, Jesus said "the words that I have spoken to you are spirit and life" (Jn 6:63). It says that the words are spirit. So a true pastor who is with the true God speaks true words, but a false pastor lies. So if we listen to a pastor's words, we can see what kind spirit is with him, and thus his entity is revealed.
Woman: I think all pastors preach the word of the Bible. How can we distinguish truth from lies?
Instructor: Although someone speaks using the Bible, it doesn't mean he preaches the word of God. Since God said His word is the truth (Jn 17:17), telling people the true meaning of the Bible is spreading God's word. According to Jn 3:31-34, he who comes from above speaks of what he saw and heard in heaven, and he who is of the earth if from the earth and speaks of the earth. The Bible speaks of heavenly things (truth), through the things of nature. However, false pastors only know the things of the earth and have never seen heavenly things. That's why they don't know the will of God and then speak their own interpretations, which are lies. For example, God's true pastor correctly interprets the war that will happen in heaven at the Second Coming at the time of Revelation's fulfillment, as a war on earth.
True pastor: The war promised in the Bible is a religious war, which is a war of doctrines.
Instructor: Because Satan's false pastor doesn't know the war in Revelation, he says it is Word War III on the earth.
False pastor: What are you talking about? The war in Revelation is Word War III.
Woman: Anyone who has studied the Bible will know it's not World War III. It has nothing to do with the Bible, right? It says that false prophets are the ones who come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly the are ravenous wolves (Mt 7:15-16). It is the same as that their appearance being like a peaceful sheep, but they sound like wolves.
Instructor: That's right!
Woman: God and Satan are spirits, so we can't see them nor distinguish them by appearance. That's why we have to discern the spirits as we listen to their words with our ears.
Instructor: Yes. That's right.
Woman: In order to distinguish God's spirit from Satan's spirit, we should know truth, right?
Instructor: Yes. When we know the genuine, we can distinguish it from the fake. In the same say, when we know truth, we can distinguish it from lies.
Woman: I fully understand. Thank you. Instructor.
Instructor: Shall we summarize it? Because of people's sin, God left the world and the devil took over people and all things. In order to not return people and things to God, the devil lies and interferes so that people will not find the truth.
The devil's pastor: I should lie to people in order for them to not know God.
Instructor: God makes known this fact and gives the truth to restore His lost kingdom.
God's pastor: To restore the word, I should make people known truth.
Instructor: So, believers should know what kind of spirit their pastor belongs to, God or Satan. Faith is not based on our emotions of "this feels bad, and this feels good." Faith is the way that we should chose for ourselves based on "God's word is the standard." In order to choose the road of blessings among the roads of blessings and curses before us (Dt 30:19-20), shouldn't we know the true blessings and curses? I hope you will be blessed, not cursed.
Woman: Yes. I will become a mature believer who can realize truth and lies through the Bible and will distinguish what kind of spirit is with a pastor
According to a research report recently published by the Pew Research Center, a nonprofit research organization in the United States, Korea is one of two countries with a significant rise in religious hostility. On the basis of that, Pew Research introduced that more than 120,000 people protested against the coercive conversion after reports that a couple killed their daughter while trying to forcibly convert their daughter' religion came out in Korea. The deceased daughter was Gu Ji In, a member of Shincheonji. It is worth paying attention to the fact that the international society has paid attention to the murder caused by coercive conversion against Shincheonji members.
The Gu Ji In case did not receive much attention in Korea due to “family affairs” and “religious issues”. In particular, the case of Gu Ji In was killed because she was a member of the Shincheonji Church that the vested denominations of Korean Christianity rejected. On the other hand, The active protests and messages of the Shincheonji Church received more attention from abroad. This writing retraces the circumstances in which the international society has paid attention to coercive conversion in Korea.
The incident which triggered attention to the international society was '2018 Gu Ji In case'. This incident served as an opportunity to inform the world about the reality of Korea's forced conversion.
To summarize the incident, The late Gu Ji In was imprisoned by his family in a Catholic monastery in Jangseong-gun, Jeollanam-do for 44 days in July 2016, and was forced to convert. The following year, in June 2017, she informed the online bulletin board of Blue House about the damages of coercive conversion appealing for punishment for coercive conversion pastors and the enactment of the Religious Discrimination Ban. On December 29 of the same year, she was imprisoned once again at a pension in Hwasun-gun, Jeollanam-do, and was forced to convert. During process, on the 30th, she was taken to Chonnam National University Hospital for breathing difficulties due to family violence. But unfortunately, she died of hypoxic brain injury on January 9, 2018.
Afterwards, on the bulletin board of the Blue House National Petition, a writing urging the enactment of the "Coercive Conversion Prohibition Act” was posted and more than 140,000 people agreed. But the article was suddenly deleted because it contained the victim's personal information.
◆ In Korea, protests of hundreds of thousands of people 'disregarded'
The fact of the death of Gu Ji In was known as the Forced Conversion Victims Human Rights Solidarity (called Kang Pi-yeon) and the Shincheonji Church protest against coercive conversion in Korea. The protests that took place in major 6 metropolitan cities were carried out on a large scale, with hundreds of thousands of people appealing the injustice of coercive conversion. People in abroad also participated.
On February 1, in Pretoria, South Africa, about 1,000 people participated in a demonstration in memory of Gu Ji In. On the 18th of the same month (local time) in New York, more than 100 members of human rights groups held a protest against coercive conversion.
Foreign media reported the news immediately. It was contrary to the fact that the domestic media did not pay much attention. On February 19th, 221 US media including 3 major broadcasters NBC, CBS (Columbia Broadcasting System) and ABC outlets under the title of "South Korea: The Olympic Games Amid Large-Scale Human Rights Protests" reported the death of the late Gu Ji In and the massive human rights movement held in Korea and abroad.
The US media said "Whenever Koreans historically demanded a change, large-scale protests were held referring to the protests for the prohibition of coercive conversion at Gwanghwamun Square.
The US media also said "In 1987, 1.2 million Korean workers fought for democracy and unions. At the end of 2016, millions of people gathered with candles calling for the impeachment of former President Park Geun-hye. There was another wave of large-scale protests at the place with candles.
The people are petitioning to protect the freedom of religion specified in Article 20 of the Constitution of the Republic of Korea. On January 28, 120,000 people from all over the country, including Seoul, participated in the protests petitioning the Act on the Prohibition of Forced Conversion.
After the report, in Korea, representatives of the six major religion including Christianity, Buddhism, and Confucianism made a joint statement calling for “enactment of a law against forced conversion,” along with 300 religious leaders. On March 14, two weeks after the protests, Religious leaders, including President Joseph Jeong, the first general meeting of the Presbyterian Church of Korea, issued a "Joint Statement to urge the enactment of international laws based on the DPCW to eradicate religious discrimination."
◆ Overseas media drawing attention to New York Times advertisement
The foreign media once again paid attention. This is because American citizens voluntarily raised funds and posted an advertisement for “forbidden to convert” in the New York Times.
This is an advertisement in which citizens re-examine the related incident in the first cycle of the death of Mrs. Gu. 185 overseas media outlets, including ABC (American Broadcasting Co.)6, CBS (Colombia Broadcasting System)8, and FOX (Fox News Channel)34, published the content of advertisements.
The reason why the media showed such interest in the New York Times paper advertisement was that it was dealing with social issues with human life, not just product advertisements.
Overseas media cited the New York Times advertising ban on coercive conversion published in Cheonji Daily and reported the death of Gu Ji In. In particular, ABC6 introduced that there was an attempt to conceal this unfair case in Korea highlighting the case of Gu Ji In who became a victim of forced conversion. ABC6 introduced that it was introduced that the advertisement could be carried out by collecting donations with the voluntary support of citizens.
CBS8 also emphasized that after the death of Gu Ji In campaigns and resolution meetings to eradicate coercive conversion were held one after another in 23 cities in 15 countries and media from 33 foreign countries actively reported them.
FOX34 explained that "Fortunately, as a result of the international media community coming together, a lot of attention has been focused on human rights violations caused by coercive conversion.
In January 2019, Religious leaders in Australia and the Philippines made a point against coercive conversion. A local pastor in Australia delivered a strong message saying it was a letter to be sent to the UN Human Rights Council.
At that time, in Sydney, Australia, the event of alliance of religions’ peace office was held under the theme of “Religious World Without Discrimination, Religious Leaders as One”. At the event, About 370 people attended, including 30 religious leaders and audience from 7 religion including Christianity, Buddhism, Islam, Sikhism, Hinduism, Zoroastrianism, and Khaodai. Rev. Nelson Perbazi, a theology department at the Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology, who said he was serving as a pastor in Australia and Pakistan read a letter saying that he would send it to the UN Human Rights Council.
◆ Human rights ‧ citizens and academic organizations showing interests
In July, the UN Human Rights Council issued a statement to ‘Eradication of forced conversion’. After the second death in the process of forced conversion in 2007 and 2018, as the government was taking inaction consistently, major overseas NGOs (non-governmental organizations) came out and issued such a statement at the United Nations in the end. And it gave great significance.
The European CAP-LC attended the 41st United Nations Human Rights Council (UNHRC) meeting held in Geneva, Switzerland that day, and officially released a statement condemning the coercive conversion against members of the Shincheonji Church.
In the same month, at the ‘Ministerial Meeting for the Promotion of Religious Freedom’ held at the US State Department Washington D.C. a case presentation was held officially criticizing coercive conversion in Korea.
The meeting, which was held by governments from about 100 countries and 500 NGOs and religious groups, was attended by US Vice President Mike Pence, US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo and Sam Brownback, Ambassador for International Religious Freedom. During the meeting schedule, in the International Religious Freedom Roundtables Program, a case of human rights violations caused by coercive conversion to believers of new rising religion in South Korea was announced.
The attendees of the meeting strongly criticized the Korean government for the situation hat the police and courts were on the lookout despite the fact that the so-called heretical counseling pastors in Korea are trying to forcibly convert through confinement and assault, conspiring kidnapping with families of victims who are believers of new rising religion.
Also, at this meeting, 15 major international NGOs released letters to President Moon Jae-in saying "Korea is the only democratic country where coercive conversion is tolerated. To eradicate forced conversion, they Urged the government of the Republic of Korea to take measures."
As a global consensus on coercive conversion was formed, religious scholars began to show interest. 4 months later on November,
Overseas scholars in the field of religion and human rights visited Korea urging the abolition regarding 'coercive conversion" in action showing intolerance and discrimination due to The vested religious field is on the lookout for new rising religion.
The Center for New Religious Studies (CESNUR) Human Rights Without Borders (HRWF) hosted “Intolerance and Discrimination Against New Religious Movements: International Issues (Academic Seminar).”At this meeting, various controversies and conclusions were examined, and directions for future responses were also suggested from anti-heresy movements to brainwashing conducted by vested religions against new rising religion.
In particular, representative of Massimo Introvinñe, founder of the New Religious Research Center, an Italian sociologist pointed out the current situation from the founding of the Shincheonji Church which is the most persecuted in Korea among new religions throwing the topic of “coercive conversion". In this regard, representative Massimo has already submitted a human rights report urging the UN to abolish coercive conversion acknowledging seriousness of coercive conversion.
As the international community is paying attention, the content of the Pew Research Center research report is expected to be a barometer informing that the awareness of domestic members needs to be improved regarding the freedom of religion specified in the Constitution of the Republic of Korea.
The Pew Research Center, a non-profit research organization in the United States, classified Korea as one of two countries where social hostility caused by religion has increased significantly. On the basis of that, they introduced that more than 120,000 people protested against the coercive conversion when a report came out in South Korea in 2018 that a couple killed their daughter while trying to forcibly convert their daughter's religion. The daughter who died at the time was Ji-in Gu, a member of Shincheonji. t is peculiar that the international community has paid attention to the murder victim of Shincheonji member for the coercive conversion.
In fact, it is a national embarrassment that there are people dying for “religious freedom” in a liberal democratic country. Gu Ji In was the second in the murder victim due to the coercive conversion.
Even though Shincheonji did not commit a crime, a member of Shincheonji is recognized as being the subject of being treated as a criminal. This is more than just the mistake of vested interests, the influence of politicians who use this atmosphere as a tool to gain votes is greater.
The victims of the coercive conversion are a minority and the socially weak. Trapped in the shadow of prejudice, it is difficult to properly reveal themselves as a Shincheonji member. In many cases, if you report the fact of damage due to coercive conversion to the police and appeal to the Human Rights Committee, it is common to hear the absurd answer because it is a family problem or a religious problem so, we should solve it on our own. In the end, the national neglect against anti-constitutional religious repression is killing the people.
The government and the public authorities, who are supposed to protect the lives of the people are repeating the action that they satisfy to obtain the vote of vested interests by scapegoating a few. For this reason, coercive conversion, which is a tremendous oppression of human rights against humanity, continues to persist, creating a more embarrassing situation for perpetrators being confident.
The most effective way to combat inhumane crimes such as the coercive conversion is through severe punishment for the perpetrator. Even children over the age of 20 are adults with self-determination, and their judgment should be respected.
There is no right to kill or force conversion through violence simply because the children's beliefs are not the same as parents or family members.
Moreover, freedom of religion is a natural human right, and President Moon Jae In promised to strengthen basic rights. With words crying out for a world without discrimination, contradictory political actions that only allow “religious freedom” for my convenience should be stopped. Maybe it's too late. But, even now, the National Human Rights Committee should clarify the reality of coercive conversion that tramples on the human rights of the people because of religious hostility and make recommendations.
What is the reason for the existence of a state and a leader in the current chaotic times? Of course, there will not be few grievances between the leaders and the government. If there were few, it would be neither a leader nor a government nor a person. But what's the use if the grievance is not meaningful?
I can't help but ask if people have been thinking about what it need to be meaningful. In order to be a leader and a government, isn't it important to hire enough human resources at the right place. What the people have elected a leader and a government does not mean to work only for their regime protection and re-establishment. In National Philosophy, there must be true value of the country and the people as well as the world. Isn't that a request and an order to manage the state administration according to its value and direction?
If the leader is such a leader, they would not have put the Republic of Korea in the current crisis of despair. From ancient times, great leaders have gone from self-interest and find hidden competent person. The past history tells us that people have been working for the country and the people which is the public interest and fairness not taking one side.
Later generations call him Wise King and Great King. The wise king must have been searching for talented people through Tangpyeongcheok (蕩平策) who will devote himself to the country. This is the difference between petty and generosity This is why there is a proverb that says, "Man's work is everything."
Today, we start to think about who is the competent people we have.
Just because the author of this writing refers to whomever is not meant to be favoritism. Even if you don’t recognize the facts as they are, in the frustrating situation of not being able to judge what is right, this is because I have to tell the truth. In addition, It is because of the world where the media pursuing power and authority have become mainstream rather than fact.
Obviously, the truth and facts don't become false just because no one knows them. The theory is supported by a lesson from Galileo who insisted on the theory of earth movement. This is the reason that the truth will be revealed someday.
He traveled 31 laps around the world in his old age. For whom? He only sacrificed himself for mankind by obeying the commands of heaven, not his will.
As a result, he has a global village united that has crossed the barriers of race, borders, culture and religion. Especially notable work is Mindanao, Philippines, the site of the 40-year dispute. By putting an end to the Mindanao conflict, which neither the government nor the military could resolve, it created a miracle in which the World Peace Monument was erected wherever it went.
Former President Emil Constantinescu of Romania, a living witness of this move, praised him as "the best planner for world peace."
Why does my country, Republic of Korea, not recognize and not protect such great competent person, but rather try to kill it? This is truly ironic. Perhaps it is the jealousy of the vested powers.
The jealous powers and the government harmoniously become a huge power. By the power, it must be trampling on truth and competent person.
Who is that talent? Man Hee Lee, 89, is the chairman of Shincheonji who is currently being tried for Corona 19, a disease prevalent in the world.
He was sentenced to five years in prison for violating the Infectious Disease Prevention Act by the prosecution in Suwon court on December 9, and the sentence for the first trial by the court remains on the 13th of next month.
Is he really a sinner? Now Shincheonji believers, the people of the country, and the world must pay attention to this trial. This is because this trial goes beyond the fate of one person and one group and is a trial at the human level, and it is a trial between heaven and the world.
Anything that exists in this world has a cause, and depending on the cause, there will be an result. The trial underway is caused by a disease called Corona 19, and the responsibility of preventing this disease is one of the national responsibilities of the state. Nevertheless, Where did the prosecution's behavior by making sins and overturning it to kill?
Historically, when an outbreak of freak outbreaks, religion and power have worked together to maintain their vested interests and witch-hunted the powerless people. This phenomenon can't happen without their ghosts.
He made it clear in the final statement. He thanked the authority for the bail permit and showed his belief that there would be a fair judgment. And he said firmly 'I have no sin.' Shincheonji did not bring Corona 19 from China and Shincheonji was also a victim. However, he said he was sorry to the public for not being able to resolve the spread in a short time. He testified that his regret made Shincheonji donate plasma that no one else could. And he made it clear that there was no embezzlement of any money. Public money was put into the finance department and private money can be used as his likes. He said it wasn't a lie, it was only true.
And he emphasized toward the prosecution saying "Is it so good to make a sinner? Are you driving innocent people overturning? When I started my faith, I started my faith throwing away everything. I was not evangelized by people. I learned a lot from heaven and mastered the laws of heaven. I've never sinned. The Bible records that lying is what the devil does."
The prosecutors often say they will be a prosecutor for the people. The ridiculous thing is, can the prosecution be called a prosecution for the people by overwriting the crimes that the people did not commit and making sinners? If the prosecution fits the individual's advancement and the government's intentions rather than the truth and facts, can it be called a prosecution for the people? This is why the prosecution reform is necessary.
What's even more surprising is that the prosecution of this country is now two prosecutors.
This regime was so good at dividing, and now even the prosecution has divided it into two. If you are luckless,
Now, the people of the Republic of Korea really have to take sides good.
If you are luckless, you become a sinner. If you are lucky, you become a righteous.
Can you tell me which side of Suwon District Prosecutor's Office is?
Since proverb said, “Evil law is also law,” what should we do from the standpoint of living on this ground?
Even in such an unfair and divided country, the belief that an impartial judgment will be made by an impartial judge is valid.
Two thousand years ago, Pilate confessed by washing his hands three times in court that Jesus was “no sin”. However, for fear of the riots, governors and officials which happened the same today, they had to be sentenced to cross and shed blood. Of course it was the will of heaven.
But now, Instead of martyrdom, the ruling of Pilate in this era for the history of lived martyrdom is expected since the decisive day is imminent when the purpose of God the Creator is fulfilled and completed with the price of the blood.
After the judgment of the earth is made, the judgment of heaven awaits soon.
