Shincheonji truth: Man and the Bible(Man Hee Lee's Quotes)

Man and the Bible


 
  ‘Man’ was created by the word, and they are protected by the word. Man’s life is in the word, and it is connected to the word. God, who was the word, left man due to their sin. As a consequence, the source of the word which brought life to man, was disconnected. Man was only able to continue to live on the life which was left, and ended up dying as a result; just as if the light of a lamp was snuffed out because the oil was no longer continuing to be refilled. The reason why the lifespan of mankind, the children of Adam, has decreased is because the lifeline, which played the role of the oil for people, was removed from them, and their sins piled up upon one another. Man’s life expectancy has gradually decreased since Adam’s time. People lived for almost 1,000 years at that time, but now people die even before they reach 100 years.
 
 The God of the word of life, left man because of sin. Jesus came and bore the cross in order to resolve the problem of this sin. The cross he took up was necessary to reconnect the lifeline between God and mankind. This allows the God of life, who left us, to come back to us.
 
 If one desires to receive forgiveness of his sin and to attain eternal life, he must believe in Jesus’ word and act according to its meaning. Since life and the power of creation are in the word, even the people in this world have a saying which says, “Mans’ life and his rich and honor belong to heaven.” Now we must enter into the word and become one family with God. In doing so, we will be able to live eternally with God, the origin of life. This will only be possible because of the grace of Jesus’ blood.

Shincheonji church - God and the Church(Religion) (2)

God must dwell there, in order for God’s word to exist there; Jesus must dwell there in order for Jesus’ words to exist there, and the person who learns at the church where God and Jesus dwell, becomes one who learns from God and Jesus. A church where God does not dwell does not have God’s Word, but only worldly words, man’s words. These churches are not God’s churches, but are the worldly churches. These places are not even considered apart of religion; it is merely man’s churches. Religion, or God’s churches, must have God, the owner, dwelling there; and as a result of God being there, His words are able to come out from there. Congregation members attend churches to hear the words of God, not to hear man’s words.

Life is contained within God’s word (Jn 1:1-4), and those who receive the word of life, have the breath of life, and as a result, the once withered and dead spirit will come back to life (resurrection to life) [Jn 5:24-29]. Inside the words of man are contained the corrupt, hereditary sins, there is the poison which leads to death, and the life of the spirit who listens to these words shortens and withers. This is like the sun setting near the western mountain서산(西山)에 가까운 해와 같다 (Using an old figure of speech: Just like the setting sun in the west~ “man’s words will eventually bring a person’s spirit to an end”).

The natural order and purpose of religion, the will of the True God, is to take the world which has died and bring it back to life with God’s breath of life. If God’s will is not taught at a church, but only man’s thoughts prevail, if only the teachings of man are clanging loudly, and power is grown for the sake of authority and money, then shouldn’t these kinds of churches be demolished?

God does not dwell at a place like this.

The end of age the New Testament prophesied is referring to the end of age of the churches (Mt 24, Rv 13). This era comes to an end, and the new promised temple and teaching, clearly shown in Revelation chapters 15 and 14, is created. It is the Temple of the Tabernacle of the Testimony, Zion (Zion Seminary Mission Center) where all nations will come and worship.

What is the value of reading and perceiving the Scriptures? It is to find this promised place to gain salvation. God’s promised temple, where the Bible is made known, is where God dwells, so His words will come out from there (Is 2:3, Mic 4:2, Rv 14:1-3). God is one with the Word and this Word is life, so where the Word is located, this is where God dwells and life is found (Jn 1:1-4). One must be born of this seed of life to inherit eternal life. As a result of being born from God’s seed, we become sons of God (children of God) and become the family of heaven. Amen!

Shincheonji bible study - God and Church;Religion(1)

Look around you.

There are so much beautiful sceneries near you.

Specially these days, I could see lots of flowers are blooming. How nice!!

By the way, have you ever thought about the creator of this world?

Who made this wonderful world and why?

No one can create the nature. No one can even make any grass on the ground.

Only God, he created the world and everything.

That is what the Bible says.

Today, I'd like to let you know about God and the Church(Religion).

God and the Church(Religion)

Reference: Jn 1:1-4 (Genesis 1)

The One and only God is the Creator of the heavens and the earth and all that is in them. He is the one who is in control of mankind’s life, death, curses and blessings. All things made have been created by God, and all things have been created by the Word (Gen 1, Jn 1:1-4). The Creator is the most holy divine being. Furthermore, God who created the heavens and the earth and everything in them, is the Father of all creation and God loves His creation.

From the time of Adam until now, God has fulfilled everything exactly according to His promises. God fulfills all He has spoken within His Word. The Word is living and active, and this Word is God.

Just as it is difficult communicating with foreign citizens, unless the language is learned (that nation’s language), from the time of Adam’s corruption until today, all creation has lived in a generation of not knowing God. Before the corruption of Adam, there was communication between man and creation, however after God left, Adam and creation were no longer able to communicate.

Using the words God spoke through Jesus, the winds, the waves and even the trees obeyed (Mt 8:27, Mt 21:19). Even the fish and bread obeyed this word (Mt 14:17-21). This was possible depending on whether or not God was with them and this difference was huge. It is evident God, who is the Word, can control and rule over creation. It is possible for a person to rule over all of creation in the heavens and the earth, only if God is together as one with that person, this is the main requirement.

God is the Word that existed since the beginning (Jn 1:1), Jesus, the Son born of the seed of God’s word, is also the Word (1Jn 1:1), and God was together with him as one. Jesus, whom God was one with, had the same power as God (Jn 5, Acts 10:38). This will be the same for us when we are reborn by God’s seed, and become a new creation reborn by God’s spirit, just as it is promised in the Bible (Jn 3:5, 1Pe 1:23), then even creation will respond to our commands.

When we put off our corrupted sinful clothes, to become a new creation through God’s seed, and when God is one with us, we will then become the family of God, entering back into our original state of creation, experiencing the value of true life.

It is for this reason, religion, or churches, came into existence. Church is where the will of God, the true God, is taught. It is not a place to learn worldly knowledge. In order for a church to fully carry out its duty, it must first be a place where God and Jesus dwell. Just as Jesus’ words proclaim, “Everyone who listens to the Father and learns from him comes to me,” (Jn 6:45), the church must be a place where God’s will is taught.
