The Biblical Scriptures that Testify about Cults
and Antichrists
In 1Jn
2:18-19, the antichrists are called those who “went out from us.” Jude
similarly defines the antichrists as those who failed to keep their positions
of authority, but abandoned their own homes to form sects. These people lack
the spirit – they belong to the world of flesh. There are certain people who
have left the positions to which they had been appointed in Shincheonji (SCJ).
They have abandoned their home just like Cain and Balaam (Jude 1:6, 11, 17-19).
They are deceiving (Mt 24:24-25) God’s elect (the members of the 12 tribes).
They criticize SCJ, they tell lies about us (Mt 7:1-5) in their seminars, and
they persecute and curse our members. Jesus said, “They will put you out of the
synagogue, yet a time is coming when the one who kills you will think he is
offering service to God,” (Jn 16:2). In fulfillment of Jesus’ words, the
congregation members of SCJ have been excommunicated from their former
churches. They have suffered violence and have even been killed.
Can anyone
who behaves in the manner described above be considered a true believer? Can
they be saved? According to the words of Jesus (Mt 5:10-12, Mt 23:30-36; Jn
15:18-24; Acts 7:51-54), people who persecute belong to Satan (devil) and those
who are persecuted belong to God. Moses was persecuted by the Egyptians for the
sake of the Israelites. Jesus was persecuted by the priests and people of
Physical Israel. Shincheonji Church of Jesus is being persecuted by the pastors
and congregation members of today’s churches. In some ways this can be
considered the greatest persecution in the past 6,000 years of biblical
history.
The Bible
tells us that we must eat Jesus’ flesh and blood in order to be saved (Jn
6:51-57; Rv 5:9-10, Rv 7:14). The Bible also clearly says that everyone must
pray in the name of Jesus to have their prayers answered (Jn 14:13-14, Jn
16:23, 26). One former member who used to have a very high position within SCJ
told a nationwide audience that we must eat the flesh and blood of the SCJ chairman
to be saved. He said that we must pray in the chairman’s name for our prayers
to be answered. In saying such things this person failed to maintain his
position as head of a branch church. He has since been thrown out and has
united with another pastor outside of SCJ. So in summary, there is a former SCJ
member who was thrown out for saying that believers must eat and drink the
flesh and blood of the SCJ chairman, there is another pastor who received this
former SCJ member and now acknowledges him as orthodox, and there is the one
who threw the blasphemous person out of SCJ. Among these three individuals, who
truly believes Jesus and who has acted according to his will? According to the
Bible, everyone will be judged for his or her deeds according to what is
written in the books (Rv 20:12). According to the definition in the books of
prophecy in the Bible, everyone who performs the actions of an evildoer will be
judged according to the words of Rv 20:12. True believers of the Bible
acknowledge this word.
