Shincheonji Church Hosts Bible Seminar, Draws Praise from Pastors

The Shincheonji Church of Jesus held its ‘2024 Bible Seminar: Testimony on the Fulfillment of Revelation’ at the Shincheonji Masan Church, attracting over 100 pastors and 16,000 participants.  An additional 380,000 viewers watched the online live stream.

Chairman Lee Man-hee delivered a lecture on Revelation Chapter 10, outlining the relationship between prophecy and fulfillment. He emphasized the importance of humility and verifying teachings against the Bible.

“A thought occurred to me that we should not disregard Shincheonji just because they belong to a different denomination, but rather listen to their words directly and then make our own judgments,” said a 20-year veteran pastor.

Chairman Lee stated, “I am sharing the content of Revelation as I have seen and heard it. The word of the Bible should be conveyed as if it is stamped, without distortion or alteration.”

He continued, “The Bible records that the way to heaven is small and narrow. Simply saying you believe in Jesus does not guarantee entry to heaven. We must carefully listen to and reflect on each of Jesus’ words, understand clearly who we are according to the Bible, and walk our faith accordingly.”

Pastors praised the seminar, with one saying, “Hearing the words directly and making my own judgments has changed my thoughts significantly. I believe that maintaining communication with the Shincheonji Church will be beneficial for my congregation.”

Another pastor noted, “I listened carefully and was astonished to find that there was nothing contradicting scripture in his message. After hearing these teachings, I became curious about what the Shincheonji Church is really about and felt a desire to share this with more people.”

A Shincheonji Church representative stated, “We will host another Open Word Seminar in Busan due to high demand. Our bonds and cooperation through sharing teachings will grow stronger and spread further in the future.”

As of June, 727 churches in Korea and 10,053 churches across 84 countries have signed MOUs with Shincheonji for teaching exchange. Notably, 1,671 churches in 43 countries have joined the Shincheonji Church and changed their signage.
