Title: The Heresy of Shincheonji
Contents
1. Theology
1) Man-hee Lee claims to be Alpha and Omega
The head teacher, Man-hee Lee, calls himself a missionary who is an apostle, the alpha and omega of Revelation, the Comforter, the Holy Spirit, and the sealing angel.
"The Alpha and Omega refer to the beginning and the end. The beginning is the seed, and the end is the fruit. The beginning is a prophecy, and the end is the reality. All the secrets hidden in the Bible must be revealed and bear fruit, so that the purpose of God's creation is fulfilled. … These words tell us that when the missionary of John the Baptist is preparing the way on the Korean Peninsula in Asia, the Holy Spirit of Christ also comes and works there.” (<The Reality of Revelation>, Manhee Lee, Published by Shincheonji Books, 36~ page 37)
2) Manhee Lee claims to be the Comforter and claims to be the Holy Spirit among the Trinity of God.
“Therefore, we must keep in mind that the person we need to find and meet must meet Jacob (the Counselor: Israel) who is the Apostle John, who is the victor, to receive the revelations of the Father and the Son and enter eternal life.” , Published by Shincheonji Book Publishing House, p. 52)
2. Revelation
1) Manhee Lee asserts that most of the Bible is made up of parables and symbols
“The words of God recorded in the Bible are spiritual things that use parables under the guise of a fleshly thing, but if people are bound by text and interpret and act according to the flesh, they cannot conform to God’s will.” (<Saints and Heaven>, written by Manhee Lee, Book Published by Shincheonji, p. 26, 1995)
2) Man-hee Lee is a direct statistician
The common denominator of heretical sects are direct statistics watchers. Man-hee Lee is no exception. His argument is this:
“There are many books and prominent authors who have interpreted the Bible in this world, but none of them can be compared with this book of which the author has testified. Rather, it is because they directly witnessed and heard from the Spirit and angels of the Lord and at the same time testified of the word and reality of God according to the instructions.”
3. Christology
1) Man-hee Lee claims to be the Second Coming Lord
All of Mr. Lee's doctrines are merely means to make himself the Second Coming Lord. Seed Lee claims that Jesus' coming on the clouds means coming to a certain human body as a spirit, claiming the second coming of Jesus as a spiritual thing, and saying that coming to him as a spirit is the second coming, so that he becomes the Second Coming Lord.
“Jesus, who came on the cloud (Rev 1:1~8), comes in one flesh (Rev 1:12~20). This person is also born in a spiritual manger just like at the first advent. … This means that God came on a cloud and came to Jesus. Jesus, who comes like a cloud, comes to a chosen person and harvests wheat (those who keep the word) from the four directions (Mt 13; Rv 14:14-16) to create a new Israel (Acts 1:6-8, Rv 7). :)." (<Saints and Heaven>, written by Manhee Lee, published by Shincheonji Books, pp. 77~78)
2) Man-hee Lee claims that he is the one who will rule the world with an iron rod.
There are many heretical leaders who deceive believers by teaching that Man-hee Lee is the man who will rule all the nations with the iron rod of Revelation 12, and this is no exception. Mr. Lee is also the Second Coming Lord, and he is the child who will rule the nations with an iron rod.
"The statement that the woman who gave birth will flee to her own place in the wilderness to escape the face of the serpent and be raised there for 1260 days means that he came first in front of this child, the promised shepherd (note: Man-hee Lee) from the standpoint of Elijah and John the Baptist. It is a word that informs.” (<Saints and Heaven>, written by Man-hee Lee, published by Shincheonji Books, p. 221)
4. Soteriology
1) Man-hee Lee teaches that you must believe in yourself as the teacher to be saved.
“God came to this earth according to the Old Testament (39 books) and chose Jesus as the light according to the promise (Isaiah 7:14, Luke 9:35), and Jesus created Genesis 1 According to the principle, the words of prophecy that were promised when judging the age of sin and ascending to heaven were the 27 books of the New Testament. God) as the light (Matthew 24:45-47, Revelation 10, John 16:14) and with him, the work of judgment and salvation of separating wheat and chaff according to the prophecy of the Bible (Genesis 1:6-7, Matthew 13:24-26) He is like the time of the first coming” (<Saints and Heaven>, written by Manhee Lee, published by Shincheonji Books, p. 95)
2) Man-hee Lee teaches that those who keep the new covenant and new things will be saved.
Their soteriology is that they must believe in Man-hee Lee as the true shepherd promised by God and receive the new covenant made by Man-hee Lee's blood. The new covenant that Mr. Lee emphasizes is not the new covenant established with the blood of Jesus Christ in the Bible, that is, the gospel of salvation, but the new covenant written by the headmaster himself with blood” (<Shincheonji Development History>, written by Manhee Lee, Published by Shincheonji Book Publishing, p. 49) Mr. Lee's new work refers to when all churches and shepherds are finished and a shepherd appears and judges him, which claims that he must believe in himself as the true shepherd and come to his group to be saved. to be.
“Becoming a blind servant who does not know the new covenant and new things, like a madman, even though they hear only the world’s stories and the world’s words (John 3:31), they laugh and say, ‘I believe, Amen,’ and even if the saints who first realized that they went into the fire of hell after entering this holy city, they said, ‘Amen. , believe in it? Based on the word of promise, those who understand the word, believe it, and seek the kingdom and its righteousness as promised, must first seek the kingdom and its righteousness to be saved." (<Shincheonji Development History>, Man-Hee Lee, published by Shincheonji Books, 107 side)
5. Eschatology
1) Man-hee Lee claims that not believing in herself is judgment
Man-hee Lee claims that the events from Noah to Moses are judgments, and this is a claim to deify himself as a savior and judge. Mr. Lee claims that in this age, you must believe in the leader himself to be saved, and if you do not accept Mr. Lee, it is judgment.
“After that, all the descendants of Adam, like Adam, all returned to the flesh and turned away from God, so God announced the end of Adam’s world in Genesis 6, appointed Noah to judge with the flood, and to set Noah’s family in Adam’s world. This is the judgment of the world of Adam, the judgment of the world of Noah, and the salvation of the world of Noah.” (<Saints and Heaven>, written by Man-hee Lee, published by Shincheonji Books, p. 91)
“God again chose Abraham, a descendant of Shem, from among the descendants of Noah, like Noah in the world of Adam, and made a covenant with him. He was the light of Noah’s world, and this work was a work of judgment and salvation.” Published by Shincheonji, p. 92)
“The 10 plagues that Moses brought upon Egypt were judgments to save the people from the captivity of Satan Pharaoh” (<Saints and Heaven>, written by Manhee Lee, published by Shincheonji Books, p. 93).
“However, God chose Joshua again, gave Joshua the same blessing, and sent the nation to Canaan. This is judgment and salvation from Abraham to Joshua.” published, p. 93)
This means that in this age, we will choose Lee Man-hee, the leader of the church, to do the work of judgment and salvation. So, in the end, it is argued that believing in the leader Man-hee Lee is salvation, and not following him is judgment.
2) Man-hee Lee asserts that the end comes in every era.
When one generation ends and another comes, that is the end. In other words, there were several endings in each era. This argument of Mr. Lee denies the end of the earth and asserts that when a new person appears, the end of the era comes by that person.
“It is written in the Bible that God judges the people of the sinful generation and selects some of the righteous to become the seeds of the new age. I saw it through the event of solidarity. The reason I mention this is because Jesus said it would be like this when he came back to the world.” (<Saints and Heaven>, written by Manhee Lee, published by Shincheonji Books, p.
“In the end, Moses and Aaron died without being able to fulfill their responsibilities and could not enter Canaan, so this is the salvation and end of the Moses world. Work is judgment and salvation from Abraham to Joshua. The end and salvation of Moses' world are well recorded in Deuteronomy 32." (<Saints and Heaven>, Manhee Lee, published by Shincheonji Books, p.93) Therefore, we are making this claim to claim that this era will come to an end again with the advent of the leader Man-hee Lee.
3) Man-hee Lee says that this era has come to an end because the headteacher himself came out.
Man-hee Lee's doctrine of judgment in the last days says that you can be saved only if you believe in yourself, and it is the end because you have come.
