Korean Christianity in History

Main reference: Mt 23:26-36

The main reference describes the real status of the pastors who have been deceived by Satan since the time of Adam. Matthew 5:11-12 makes references to the persecution occurring at the present time, as well as the persecution which happened during the first coming. In Acts 7 Stephen also spoke about the inherited traditions of murder and persecution by the false pastors who had existed from of old. Are the pastors who are busy persecuting others aware of these passages?

Having seen the cruel and barbarian acts of Roman Catholicism, Martin Luther conducted the Protestant Reformation, and through this reformation, Protestantism originated. It has been said in history, Calvin, a Protestant, seized ecclesiastical authority and murdered several saints of God. How can he be considered God’s pastor? Calvin established the Presbyterian Church (Calvin did not acknowledge Jesus Christ’s Revelation and excluded the book from the Bible). The Korean Presbyterian Church bowed down to the god of the Japanese Emperor and praised him during the time of Japanese colonization of Korea. 

The Korean Christians who criticized these actions were put in prison. After Korea obtained independence from Japan, some Christians who came out of prison, founded a Christian denomination called Goshin. They separated themselves from the Korean Presbyterian Church, claiming there was no salvation in the Presbyterian Church.

This Presbyterian Church (conservatives) joined forces with the politicians. During the Korean military regime, the Korean Presbyterian church supported the amendments of a Korean law (1969) so the former president at that time would be able to serve as a president three times in a row. The Korean Christian Press Association made it known in their 7th Christian Press Forum (April 2008), the Christian Council of Korea (established in 1989) was an organization based on such Presbyterian Churches which supported the amendments of the Korean law.

During a certain time it was aired the politicians, who also serve as elders of the Christian Council of Korea, were twelve leaders. Because one of the elders of the Christian Council of Korea became a Korean president, they were stiff-necked. Korean Christianity has seemed to emerge from within politics. Why did this occur? It was because they considered people, the world, and authority more importantly than God.

God left Israel because of their sin--they worshiped gentile gods during the reign of Solomon--and they ended up becoming gentiles. What of the Korean Christians bowing down to the god of the Japanese, the gentiles? Is this not sin? Instead of repenting of what they have done, they are claiming to be orthodox and labeling innocent people as heretics, just because those people refuse to be part of their organization. Is this not true? Who are the true heretics? We need to ask God. According to God's word in the Bible, those who worship and bow down to pagan gods are determined to be gentiles and heretics. Furthermore, Revelation 13, 17, and 18 clearly presents how people have made up commentaries, and how they are teaching those commentaries instead of the words in the Bible. These commentaries are assuredly different gospels (Gal 1:8-9), and the act of teaching them is equated to the act of sowing of the weeds. It is also the act of feeding people wild wine (Satan's sermons), the wine of adulteries, instead of feeding them with true wine (Jesus' sermons of the holy spirit). The commentaries are in fact, Satan's laws and doctrines. Those who regard such commentaries as orthodoxy are thought to be people who have received the spirit of Satan.

The scriptures testify, in the end times of religion (Christianity), the believers who are part of heaven and are likened unto the sun, moon, and stars (Gn 37:9-10), fall to the earth due to the destroyers (Mt 24:29; Rv 6:12-13). People who began with God's word and the holy spirit have returned to mere flesh. If this is the case, they are now part of the dust, just like Adam. This is how the believers have fallen from heaven to the earth. The number of Korean Christians, once counted as twelve million, has dramatically dropped to eight million. This dramatic decrease of the number of Christians depicts the autumn leaves falling from trees by the winds. The eight million Korean Christians have again recently been divided into two organizations --the Christian Council of Korea (the CCK) and the Communion Churches in Korea (the CCIK). These two organizations, which love money, are the ringleaders, labeling others as heretics. 

How ironic it is, these two organizations are now shouting at one another, saying the other is the heretic! Yes, it is true. They have been divided, and they are calling each other a heresy. On top of this, one of them is claiming the pastor of the other group is the worst heretic among all heretics. Each of the organizations is claiming to be the orthodoxy and calling each other a heresy. This, in fact, is their great tribulation. It is serving as a sign the Christian organizations are coming to an end. This is the end of the age, the end time of religion.

At one time the CCK was trying to lift up the people who were expelled from Shincheonji as some kind of special believers, and they were using those people as their own tools to insult and mock Shincheonji. Now, however, the CCK is labeling them as heretics. Is this not the game of the demons? In addition, the CCK is manipulating immature young adults to create anti-Shincheonji online cafes, and those cafes are being used as another tool to criticize and blame Shincheonji.

A true pastor would be someone who teaches and makes known the word of life to people who have a child-like heart and spirit, just as Shincheonji is doing. Only when one does this, is their action considered an action done according to God's will. Teaching people to insult and curse others is obviously the action of the devil. This is very similar to the actions of the pastors during Jesus' first coming. They bribed and used their own congregation members to speak lies in order to kill Jesus. The priests, elders, and the people of the time urged Pontius Pilate, who proclaimed the innocence of Jesus, to kill Jesus, by saying, "Let his blood be on us and our children" (Mt 27:20-26). The persecutors of this generation are just like the priests, elders, and the people during Jesus' first coming. They are conducting synonymous actions because the persecutors today are their spiritual descendants. The Bible makes it very clear, one receives salvation only by eating and drinking Jesus' flesh and blood (Jn 6), and one can receive the answers of his prayers only by praying in Jesus' name (Jn 14:13-14). There was a man who was expelled from Shincheonji, he was claiming we must eat and drink the flesh and the blood of the representative of Shincheonji, in order to attain salvation. He was also claiming we must pray in the name of the Shincheonji representative in order to receive the answers of our prayers. He was expelled due to these claims. Furthermore, he illegally deposited public church funds into his own bank account, and used it as if it were his own. He still, to this day, has not returned the money. Do you say these are acts of righteousness and orthodoxy? The CCK has appointed this man to be a righteous evangelist. It has been using him as a tool to curse Shincheonji and to conduct anti-Shincheonji seminars.
