‘Pastors Repent in Response to Jonah's Cry: 'We've Reflected a Lot”

▎ Pastors Repent and Reflect on Their Beliefs After Attending Shincheonji Bible Seminar

On October 5, a gathering titled "Testimony on the Fulfilled Realities of Revelation" was held at the Yeongdeungpo Church of the Bartholomew Tribe in Seoul. Many pastors in attendance expressed profound reflections on their perceptions of Shincheonji, with some declaring, “Many people say Shincheonji is a heresy, but after listening to Chairman Lee Man-hee’s words, I realize that those who label it a heresy are, in fact, the heretics.” This sentiment echoed a spirit of repentance among the attendees.

Chairman Man Hee Lee has been actively speaking across various cities, including Masan and Busan, and most recently, in Yeongdeungpo, where around 400 pastors and seminary students gathered to listen to Shincheonji's teachings. The church was bustling with visitors from across the nation, eager to understand Shincheonji’s perspective on the Scriptures.

Dressed in a gray suit and a yellow tie, Chairman Lee delivered a sermon lasting over an hour, passionately urging pastors to reconsider their teachings. He referred to the attendees as “brothers of faith” and encouraged a relaxed dialogue, likening the exchange to conversations between friends.

The conference witnessed an overwhelming turnout, with over 14,000 attendees, including standing room only for some participants. As Chairman Lee shared his insights, the audience frequently responded with enthusiastic “Amens,” reflecting their engagement and support.

One of the notable points made by Chairman Lee was the emphasis on the “truth of the Scriptures.” He asserted that while traditional churches may hold numerous misconceptions, Shincheonji provides a clear and unadulterated interpretation of God’s word. He challenged pastors to compare their teachings with those of Shincheonji, insisting that many common doctrines are misguided.

The atmosphere at the event was further charged as attendees witnessed Shincheonji members in white robes welcoming them with mint and white balloons, creating a striking visual that captured the attention of passersby in the city.

As the conference concluded, various pastors voiced their remorse and commitment to studying the Scriptures more diligently. One pastor from a Presbyterian denomination noted, “It is a great sin to lead others astray with incorrect teachings,” adding that he felt a strong urge to reflect on his own understanding of the Bible.

Another pastor remarked on the vibrant participation of young individuals at the event, contrasting it with the aging demographics of traditional churches, stating that this influx of youth into Shincheonji signifies a potential shift in the future of church growth.

The dialogue surrounding Shincheonji has shifted recently, with many former critics now seeking to understand its teachings. The continuous interaction between Shincheonji and traditional church leaders reflects a growing curiosity and willingness to explore different theological perspectives.

As Shincheonji continues to host events that attract increasing numbers of clergy, the discussions and partnerships formed are indicative of a significant change in the religious landscape in South Korea. This trend raises questions about how traditional churches will respond and adapt in the face of such compelling outreach efforts by Shincheonji.
