    Thanks for this! As a white guy who grew up in a diverse church, I was at first impressed by how diverse the meetings were. Drawing everyone in to discuss the Bible. It was only when I got deeper in that I started to notice red flags(like claiming Revelation is the new covenant, saying you have to understand it to be saved) that I started to do some digging and realized who they actually were.

      Hey hun, I too was briefly involved with this group in Atlanta and experienced the same things you are now faced with. I felt a heavy sense of confusion and spiritual oppression while in this group. But the Holy Spirit freed me from it and I am still strong in my faith in Christ. I want to encourage you & also remind you that the word says God is not the author of confusion 1 Corinthians 14:33 and that we are instructed to test the spirit to know if it is from God 1 John 4:1-3. Just because it sounds like God does not mean it is. One thing this group does alot is read half the scripture & then give their own interpretation. They never allow for questions and never encourage reading of the full chapters for complete context & content. If your concern is understanding the word fully and wanting revelation, I assure you the Holy Spirit is able to reveal all things 1 Corinthians 2:10. God’s desire is not to have you oppressed and confused or lost about the truth of HIS word. Also the work Christ did is a finished work. There is nothing that is hidden that God will not reveal to his children and it does not require a pledge or sacred oath to any group. We are already in covenant with God through our faith in Christ and there is no need to make any new covenants with man.

    I have seen several videos concerning this church..... But all of you keep talking nonsense, none of you guys have mentioned anything tangible or scary enough to conclude that a church is a 'cult'. You'll all keep saying they interpret bible and they glorify the owner of the church, bla bla bla. Nothing serious and you people are making noise everywhere. These same issue you guys are pointing out is something we all are facing in our different denominations including Catholics who uses a separate bible with Newly added names and chapters? They also glorify status, our different churches also glorify pastors, parish priest, bishops etc and even twist bible to suitable themselves. So what's the difference? How sure of you that your denomination you've been attending all your life is not also a "Cult"? Do you even know a "Secret Cult" is? If that Church is actually from Kingdom of Darkness as you guys claim, do you think you can easily identify them, Do you think you can easily get out of it, or do you even think you can expose them easily? I don't know this Church but you guys have not given enough reason to tag it a "Cult" . For you guys to be condemning this church like this..... Even makes clearer that it might be that one true church, cuz truth hurts and satan is using every means to tarnish the image of that Church. Since you people don't have any other work to do other than looking for which church is cult and the one that's not. Start from Catholic Church to other churches which have been deceiving people for many years with false teaching, doctrines and beliefs......yet all of us are still in those churches even when we know some certain teachings and doctrines doesn't align with Bible. And none of you have called then 'cult' why? Because the system has managed to hide their falsehood from their followers..... All these Churches indulge in different kind of evil practices- homosexuality, Lesbianism etc. You people should allow this Church to be........Whether they are 'Cult' or Not, let God be the Judge of that.

I prayed & the Lord revealed it was a cult, I confronted my friend. She admitted my suspicion & what I learned about it. I’m in WA state lol! But did the zoom meeting with the Chicago church. Yes ppl, if you hear about learning parables, prophecy & fulfillment, run!!!! This is so a CULT! Total mind control, brainwashing, conditioning & programming. Basically at the end of the 9 months seminar you become an apostate. You forfeit your salvation to Christ & place your faith & allegiance to Lee Man Hee. That’s straight up evil!

    What’s funny is that they not only contradict what the Bible says and they pick and choose verses they can “use”, but they also contradict their own teachings a lot of times 😂 and they try their best to be as evasive as possible to your questions. They CANNOT (and refuse to) think outside of their doctrines, they never want to use critical thinking they love use to criticize everyone else other than themselves. Having critical questions and trying to find out whether their claims about the reality of “the fulfillment” are true is considered unfaithful and “evil” because doubt means betrayal against God according to their doctrines. They never want you to investigate about their claims about the fulfillment yet they demand you to accept it as the truth and commit your life and have complete submission. What a bs!

      What’s stopping you? And what about the faithful and wise servant? It’s a long story but to keep it short, they were very controlling, deceptive and manipulative. The final straw was when the instructor casually says, “everyone knows Jesus isn't God" and then moved on. When I asked for clarification later, she went on about the Trinity being a lie and promoted Lee Man Hee as some kind of savior. I thought it was a normal Bible study, just very organized! Lee Man Hee? Never heard of him! She claimed the internet was the "enemy's" tool to keep people from God, discouraging research. Well, I researched anyway, and let me tell you, things got clear fast! I was angry and hurt by the deception. But this experience taught me a valuable lesson: I need to be well-versed in my own faith to avoid manipulation like this.

    Bro, I’m in the same mindset as you rn, I go to the meetings but my mama is telling me I should stop. Here’s what I think. So far Mr Lee man Kun hasn’t been mentioned yet, but I think the lessons so far have been very insightful. Bro the main thing is that they teach Jesus Christ is the saviour which is the whole point of Christianity essentially (what Paul did). I think they may have different interpretations and ideas of the bible but if they teach Jesus is the way to eternal life (which they do) then all your faith friends should be okay and you’ll should be seeing them in heaven 🙏🏻 by his grace. That’s just me tho 😅 (Also thank you for the video, I’m extremely curious now)

    • @jjj0401
      @jjj0401 3 місяці тому

      Watch out. Any cult can say Jesus is the Savior, but if anyone claims that he himself is the ONLY one who has the same authority as Jesus, and so everyone has to listen to only him, that’s WRONG. They are not just different but they are wrong. They will eventually demand you to choose between them (Shincheonji) and the essential belief of whole Christianity (=what they called “the world of Satan”)

    • @KLushed_Up

      It breaks my heart that people call this place a cult, they 100% pray and worship Jesus Christ and no other. I no longer go to the lessons anymore but I still continue to pray for them every day I made good friends that I’ll never see again. I don’t believe that they think the man is the saviour, they think he is the new John or something not a saviour. Their truth is warped but by the grace of God they are not too far off from it. If they believe Jesus is the key to eternal life they should be okay, I pray God will have mercy on his people that have been misled. 🙏🏻

      @@KLushed_Up hey brother, i also have some dear friends in this group, so i’m praying for them too. If you really love and care about someone, you should tell them when they are on a wrong path. We should feel heartbroken not because they are called a cult but because of the fact that they are being misled by the false pastor, Lee Manhee, who is knowingly and intentionally misleading people. They try their best to avoid explicitly calling Lee their savior, but if you really understand their doctrines, that is exactly what they are programmed to believe in their heart. For example, what does it mean that Jesus is our Savior? Doesn’t it mean that salvation is only through the Christ Jesus our Lord? But Shincheonji teaches that believing in Jesus is NOT enough. It gave you salvation in the past, but NOT anymore, because there is New John who you also have to accept to get salvation. Accepting Jesus no longer is the only true way to God but accepting New John is. According to their teachings, the entire belief of Christianity is wrong because the gospel of Jesus, which the apostles and many believers sacrificed their lives for, has been “expired” and no longer works. Now you need the gospel of Lee Manhee the New John to get salvation, and this is the ONLY TRUE way.

    • @jjj0401
      @jjj0401 3 місяці тому

      How far have you gotten in the lessons? They keep saying you will learn everything about the fulfillment at the end, but the truth is, you never will. In fact, the instructors themselves don’t fully know about the details of the fulfillment. They are just trained to bluff that they know because by the time students get to the point where they learn about the fulfillment part, they are all so sold that they don’t really care about the details anyways and or care to investigate whether the events actually happened as Lee claims. By then, they would just unquestioningly accept whatever they are told. This is exactly why this group is a cult. Mind control. I highly recommend you read the book “Combating Cult Mind Control” by Steven Hassan. This book is not about Shincheonji, so you don’t have to worry about feeling attacked or prosecuted. I’m Korean, so i have access to lots of Korean resources including Lee’s old books and teachings that Shincheonji now so desperately want to hide from their members. All the information you are given by Shincheonji is very intentionally selected and sometimes fabricated. I highly recommend you do your research. I know the instructor tells you not to, but wouldn’t it be so foolish to make a decision about life or death for yourself based off of biased information? Think about other cults and why their members remain in their groups and believe what are clearly lies and bs to people outside their groups. Are they dumb? No. Are their hearts not as pure as Shincheonji members? It’d be arrogant to judge that. The biggest reason members of ANY cult group fall prey to false doctrines and lies is that they don’t do their research and they only depend on the inside information and guidance. I know I can’t just tell you to leave, it’s not going to work that way. But i’m only asking you to think critically, please.

    Saying “i respect your decision” is a new tactic to make them look like they aren’t forcing you. It’s the same reason everything is free. Same reason they have a youtube account. You know how North Korea has their own social media where they share things seemingly positive and nice. It’s very controlled and it is to serve the purpose of convincing people that “they aren’t so bad”. That aren’t as bad as everyone is making them out to be. It’s brainwashing. If they don’t try to force you to stay in it, then it’s harder to completely write them off as a scary cult. Which is why your “faith friend” still wants to keep in contact with you. You’re dependent on that “friend”relationship, because you were either already isolated because you are new to town or don’t already have a strong ground group. Or they isolate you by taking up all your time, and making our family and friends out to be the enemy. In order to maintain the “friendly” persona they don’t force you or give you push back when you want to leave. But they want to keep in touch with you. Why? You continue to brainwash you. And if you stay in contact, they’ll keep feeding you the doctrine and mindset, and at some point you’ll start to think “hmm why did i think this was a cult again? They are really nice people. My faith friend is really nice to me, etc.” or if something negative in your life happens and you share it with you’re “faith friend”, they can use that as amo to pull you back in. Like say you fight with your girlfriend or your family, they can attempt to pull you back into the church by reminding you all the amazing people that are in the church and how the church has nothing but love for you etc. it’s just a way to keep you intertwined. That is not your friend, that is an agent my guy. The whole course is brain washing, right from the beginning. I listened in on a few of them and i could already see the subliminal messages they were sending to people. The fist one was basically “you can’t trust yourself unless you study the Bible (not spoken but situationally implied: at our organization)”, the next one was “do you think you can really recognize Jesus when he comes back? (Implying they will teach you how to recognize Jesus)”, the next one was all about how love means you lead people to learn the word (not stated but situationally implied: at our organization), and this was actually stated “if anything is distracting you from learning the word (situationally implied: at our organization), it’s a tactic from the enemy”. The next one was “ you can only pray a certain way for it to be acceptable (not stated but…again…situationally implied: we’ll teach you at our organization), It stinks to God if you do it any other way. And then there was also if you want to be God’s friend, you need faith, but you get faith through knowledge of the word (not stated but implied: which we will teach you at our organization), and then you need obedience (to what i wonder, could it be their false messiah?) to prove you’re faith (means they are going to ask you to do things later. This was before they even started the actual courses. This was like an appetizer to the course. If anyone asked them anything they would say “we’ll get to that in the in depth course that can last up to 9 months. The graduation is just a ceremony to confirm that you have been successfully brainwashed. If they don’t feel for certain that you are fully brainwashed they’ll tell you that you aren’t ready for graduation and to study/repent more. Like what happened to you. And then doing that makes the target even more desperate to be acceptable so they do everything they can, abandoning any doubt they may have, in order to pass and graduate and join the kingdom. From the very beginning it was brainwashing. Giving you subliminal messages to make you doubt your own thoughts and your own personal relationship with God. They would even say things like If God told you to leave your entire family, would you believe in him and obey like Abraham did? If God told you to do something seemingly crazy like he told Noah to build a giant boat would you do it? It’s all about disarming you, exploiting your desire to please God, and prepping you for the cult mentality. There is no truth in them, only deception. And the father of lies is Satan. The Holy spirit is accessible to each and every believer in the true Christ. You don’t need man to teach you anything. Abraham didn’t have a Bible or a pastor, Noah didn’t either. They both had their individual relationship with God, and obeyed when the Holy Spirit spoke to them. Not when some old man who dyes his hair to appear non-aging does. “My sheep hear my voice and another they will not follow”(John 10:27). “Work out your own salvation with fear and trembling, for it so God that works in you to will and do His good pleasure” (Philippians 2:12-23). That is our work to do. We go to our own individual quiet places speak to God, ask him for wisdom, understanding, and the Holy Sprit, be alert enough to “test all things” (1 Thessalonians 5:21), and obey Jesus and his commands (John 14:15). That is our individual work as people to do. Not through some organization. If you do have a group, Whatever you hear in fellowship with other believers, don’t just take it at face value. You should, a take it to your quiet place, research it and ask the Holy Sprit to reveal the truth to you. “Study to show yourself approved, rightly dividing the word of truth, but ignore false teaching” (2 Timothy 2:15-16). We have to do that work, no one can do it, or claim to have done it for us. Aka “LMH is the only one that knows the truth “, lies from the original liar himself.

    Okay. I just have to say I’m in the same position you were in! I met a gal on meetup a couple of years ago that was doing a fellowship group on meetup so her and I were doing a bible study together. Just normal stuff about the four fields parable that Jesus spoke of and stuff that’s deeper but still checks out. Then she invited me to a group zoom Bible study back in July 2023 and I didn’t think much of it except that were called to meet together as believers and study the word. I found it profound and interesting to learn deeper meanings of things and even talked with fellow Christian’s I know about the teachings and it all checked out. How the field represents a persons heart and we can be on a path like field or thorny or rocky field. I mean as you said it takes months to even get through this part of the series. We just this week took a test for the first time and they’ve been talking about being sealed but I just thought oh yah that makes sense. The new John thing has come up the past couple of months though and really made me start wondering when they were saying “this new john” has had the open word for about forty years now. They still haven’t given the name of this person in the class but as a person who does my research I googled new John of revelation since 1984 and found this and it was speaking of exactly everything this group talks about. It’s hidden in there through parables that are correct. They throw these incorrect things in very sneakily. No name of it has come up yet either. It’s just been our Tuesday Friday Bible study and then they just added Saturday afternoons a few weeks ago. So I have had nothing to go off of up until this point when I was given just enough info to google this “new john” even though they’ve never given a name for the group or the name of this new John just yet. They just said today the parables portion is over soon and we will be going into the next section. Ugh I hate when people try to manipulate others. I also thought it was odd they denied the trinity and tried making it sound normal to not believe in it like satan made up the trinity. Denying the trinity means to deny Christ

      They claim that a Korean man named Lee Manhee is the only true pastor of this era (they claim “the time of Jesus’ 2nd coming), God showed him everything and only speaks through him, so everyone must only listen to Lee Manhee and be 100% submissive to him, otherwise, you belong to Satan. And they will start demanding you to do more and more. They use psychological manipulation to make people obey whatever their leader say. The group is very hierarchical and allow their members very little freedom. The members are constantly sleep deprived and suffer chronic fatigue due to too much duties and responsibilities placed on them. They have to be obedient to their leader and what the group commands them to do, otherwise they won’t be among 144K who will resurrect.

      There are so many videos of other ex-members’ vivid testimonies on youtube that match the definition of a mind controlling cult. The most clear evidence is that they isolate you from outside information and resources. If you are asked to make a decision only based off selective/fabricated information provided by the group, your decision is not really yours. I recommend you read the book, Combating Cult Mind Control, by Steve Hassan.

      The doctrine is flawed. Read the verses they suggest in their full context and see if the connections they draw are true. They usually aren’t. And there is no Biblical basis for a New John Also, do some research. This group follows a tried and true pattern Christians believe their beliefs to be self-evident, regardless of what other people say or what they research. Shincheonji is terrified of members doing research because they will find it to be bogus

    I’m a Korean, so my English is not fluent as much as native speakers, but I will say some facts that happened in S. Korea. In South Korea, Sincheonji(SCJ) infiltrate normal churches(not only protestant churches but also catholic churches), take out believers, and make them as their(SCJ) believers. In recently, they evangelize in public places. Like subway stations(or train stations), downtown, etc. The most important thing is they evangelizes in public places, but they conceal who are they. They are approaching to people as they are taking surveys or free counselings or etc. If they succeed at this fraud evangelization to you, then they will preach you to make cult believer. If you finished this course, then you became a SCJ believer. They exploitation their believers. If you are a university student, they will force you to drop out or leave of absence. If you are a worker, then they will force you to resign. If you are a married person, then they will force you to divorce. By this reasons, SCJ is the most infamous cult in S. Korea.

In Korea, obedience is already deeply ingrained in the culture and there is much less resistance when people are asked to sacrifice their own wellbeing for the sake of their group. Of course not everyone in Shincheonji quit school or jobs, but some members do. Shincheonji uses different tactics.

    Thank you for uploading the video. They say that a cult deceives people who are struggling and despairing and treats them like slaves, but Shincheonji Church is the worst of them all. The Shincheonji Church has deceived countless people in Korea, making them lie to their friends and destroy their families. Their leader is literally the devil himself. He doesn't even believe in God. His whole life is a lie. We need to make more people know the truth so that there are no more victims.

    Yo bro spread your stories throughout US and your community. they destroyed thousands of families in Korea alone, and killed people in earliest phase of COVID-19 outbreak because of their cultist gatherings. They are spreading like a wildfire around the US and everywhere else. Beware those people - 1.Newcomers in church who lures people out with 'new teachings' or 'bible study', they are 99% Sincheonji cultists. If someone lures you out with 'studying bible', they are trying and they WILL teach you how bible's words are words of salvation of Lee and brainwash the hell out of you. Very slowly. They will show up with a couple of more people, playing as if they are strangers. Come on, they are part of brainwashing recruitment group. REMEMBER: Sincheonji cultists are ALLOWED to lie to heathens, sanctioned by their leader! Lie, deception and perjury are not sin in their point of view! 2.Notify your pastor, and put 'NO SINCHEONJI CULTIST ARE ALLOWED' tag in front of your church door. Spread this through christian communities. Koreans know it, but it seems other guys don't. Spread this tip with tip no.1

      I agree with most of what you said, but i think the no Shincheonji sign is such a useless idea. It won’t do anything to stop scj people from infiltrating. A better strategy is to actually teach people how to correctly read the Bible, and the core bs teachings of SCJ and their tactics so people can discern when they are approached.

      @@bonkbong5692 yes, i agree with you about the importance of awareness, which is why it is crucial that churches educate their members about the false teachings of scj and their tactics. I’m not saying putting up a sign is bad, but i’m saying that putting up a sign alone won’t do much. Here’s why: Once people are deceitfully recruited and introduced to scj’s teachings, they very quickly become brainwashed to think that being called a cult is not a reason to stop their bible study because Jesus was also called a cult at the first coming. In fact, scj emphasizes that being called a cult is a proof that only they are the ones on God’s side and that is why they are prosecuted like Jesus and the disciples. Furthermore, victims don’t even hear the name shincheonji until very late in the bible study course, so even if they have heard the name shincheonji before and heard that it is a cult, in almost the entire time they are doing the scj bible study, they have no clue that they are learning from scj. And by the time they realize that, they are already so deeply brainwashed that they don’t care to be called a cult. Shincheonji is doing everything to disguise their name when they recruit people and brainwash the recruit through several months of their intensive bible study course. So unless you know what their teachings actually are and why they are false, you will never know that you have been recruited by scj and are being brainwashed. If you don’t know what to avoid, you can’t really avoid anything.
