The Shincheonji cult deceived us 😳

- Hello everyone, in today's video, two of my friends and I discuss our experience with the Shincheonji cult's deception. Though it appeared to be a Bible study, there was actually more going on behind the scenes. The group behind this "Bible study" would not be revealed to us until 10 months in the course. We would still be in this cult being brainwashed if it weren't for the Holy Spirit providing us wisdom and answering our prayers to questions we had. Satan is working hard, and I don't want anyone to endure this. Everything we were reading was taken directly from the Bible, but they were misusing it to make us share their worldview.Thank God we had a personal relationship with God and knew him personally. If not, we would have been taken in by the trap.
Before you say anything negative, it's important to understand that this video is discussing SCJ's beliefs and that do not represent Christianity. They don't see Jesus as God but follow Lee Man-Hee's teachings. This contradicts key Christian beliefs. Often, verses are twisted to fit their views. Let's seek understanding and prioritize praising God.
John 14:6 - "I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me."
John 10:30 - "I and the Father are one."
Colossians 1:15-20 - "He is the image of the invisible God..."
Lastly, let's remember the warnings about false prophets in the last days. Join Bible study with awareness and discernment. Negative comments without representing Jesus have no place here. I don't compromise when it comes to Jesus.
I want to make it clear that I have every right to use my platform to speak out against anything that goes against the word of God, including those who oppose it. While you also have a platform to express your views, any hate or negativity directed towards me and my belief in Jesus, as well as my firsthand experiences with SCJ, will be deleted. Thank you for understanding. if you have any questions e-mail me @kirasgodlymessage@gmail.com
So they don’t believe in The Trinity (Godhead), but does that also mean the Spiritual Gifts too?
Scj made me homeless I was in church homeless I’m glad to know they cult I was asking questions they did give me got on me for not following with church I stop coming I’m glad you guys got out I’m still seek healing I loss good friends in scj church I feel bad lead people in church myself.
Yesss, I just got out a couple days ago. I prayed to God asking for him to show me the truth and to remove anything that’s not of him. Then boom, the next day is when I found everything out. Thanks for sharing yall story 💗
Hallelujah
I would also like to say please don’t be mean or rude to SCJ ppl when they approach you, they’re only doing what they’re “required” to do it’s mandatory for them to bear fruit (recruit ppl) half the time they’re probably physically and mentally exhausted, and doing it out of “ugly obedience”. They believe they’re doing Gods work. Show them the true love of God and pray that they be delivered in Jesus name🙏🏾❤️.
absolutely!! the biggest commandment is love we show love as child of God
I was “harvested” at Lenox mall too! In November 2017 Thank God he says in his word in numbers 23:19 ”God is not a man, so he does not lie. He is not human, so he does not change his mind. Has he ever spoken and failed to act? Has he ever promised and not carried it through?“
Numbers 23:19 NLT
God does NOT NEED to use deception to build his Kingdom Hallelujah 🙌🏾
Thank you for sharing ❤️
In the beginning I did learn a lot . Then they started Revelation, I tried to understand but I just went along with it but I was getting frustrated. My son is involved and he got me into the class. I’m told when I had a question we’ll learn about it later. It’s time for me to quit. Thank you young ladies for this video!
I am glad we could help! Keep seeking the lord
Everything you guys are saying is so true. I recently got out of it myself. And I was initially soo frustrated with myself for not looking it up earlier. But to God be the glory for always watching over me❤️❤️❤️
I'm glad you were able to get out! we were hard on ourselves, too, but we realized it was for a reason, and now we have a different level of discernment when joining things now
A blessing we got out while we could!
If you’d like to connect I’m open I left in April and was in for 5 years and recently got baptized in Jesus name, God is healing me.

A couple months ago, I prayed and ask God for better understanding of the Bible and a couple of days later, I met this guy on upward. We became really close and I thought he was genuinely interested in me. He invited me have Bible study with him and fed me that same Ethiopian/Philip story. I was so excited when he introduced me to his mentor and we began to have Bible study together. I was already very knowledgeable of the Bible so I asked her many questions and she was really surprised. But whenever I asked her a question, her answer was well now is not the time for you to know. That really irritated me but I kept going. She then introduced me to the big Bible study and I started studying with them. I was assigned a “faith buddy” who the Lord revealed to me was there to just keep tabs on me. She would also encourage me to lie and say it’s okay to lie for God. Every-time I asked my instructor a question she always said, you’ll get to learn more later. I began to have a really bad feeling about it. I remember being at a friend’s house and I slipped into her room to do Bible study. When my instructor found out I wasn’t home, she got really angry and said I wasn’t “hiding the word” 😂 I became so confused and when I would express it to the guy who brought me, he was always like oh what would God say, you need to stick to it. Eventually I told my friend about it and she told me to pray because she had a bad feeling. I noticed that every time I would ask a question or bring up a point, it was discussed in the next meeting but they swore up and down they didn’t talk to each other. Eventually I became to confused and decided to go into a fast. Before the next Bible study, the Lord led me to look them up and find that they were shincheonji. I asked my instructor and immediately she wanted to have a phone call and told me not to look the info online and she would send me whatever I needed to know. That was honestly it for me. I became so depressed and decided to leave. The instructor tried to have a meeting with me to get me to stay and told me that I was abandoning and falling away from the word. After leaving, I was really depressed, confused, and even S**cid*l. I walked away from my faith for a while. I was so angry with the guy because I genuinely liked him. Angry with my faith friend and everyone else. But THANK JESUS today my faith has been redeemed. I am still crazy in love with Jesus and have been set free and purged of this ungodly nonsense. I really pray that those people are set free because they are genuinely so nice. But I remember that we don’t wrestle against flesh and blood. I advise everyone to be careful, ask God for discernment, and lastly TRUST YOUR INSTINCTS. You are not crazy, you are not being led away by satan, and let the real Holy Spirit guide you. I know you may experience confusion after leaving, but just remember that God is and always will be there for you.
I also noticed that they never really focused on Jesus as much it was all parables but I left before that man hee lee nonsense got introduced!
Thank you so much for sharing your story it is so similar to mine and its scary. This whole situation brought me closer to God I started getting in my word daily. In 2 Timothy 2:16 NKJV tells us to study to show thyself approved unto God and it was speaking of false teachers we are in the last days and now is not the time to slack in our time in the word because we will fall victim to listening to what someone else says instead of studying for ourselves and yes Jesus was not talked about a lot and honestly if it wasn't for Jesus where would we be as Christians
I got out before the Lee Hee person was introduced. Thank God for the Holy Spirit🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
I’m so proud of you ladies! What the enemy meant for bad, God turned it around for His good🙌🏼🙏💕♥️
Amen❤️🙏🏽
What is a Cult? and what is a true christian? People want to label people as a cult ?What will a person say on Judgement day,how can a christian discern today? using youtube comments? I am listening to all these people who are chasing clout expecting to live forever with the martyrs and Jesus who were called a cult themselves.If they called Jesus demon possessed and son of beelzubub they will call the true followers of Jesus a cult too.I wish i can tell you the trap of satan who leads the whole world astray but l will pray for all of you in this channel.
Amen , the power of the Holy Spirit and Grandmas, great transparency
always!!
Months ago a young lady approached me in Target saying she wanted to invite me to a bible study and asked if i was interested, did i have any questions about God. I told her, "Thank you, but I'm involved in a church where I serve and am part of a small group". She pushed again, "So you don't have any questions about God or the Bible? Our group is part of Bible College". At this point my Spidey Sense was full on tingling... I asked, "What Bible college?" She said, "It's just called Bible College." I felt very uneasy already and the lack of a name to provide context was another red flag. I responded, "Besides growing up in church with lots of opportunities to learn, my husband also graduated from Talbot School of Theology, so I'm lucky. I have easy acess to his bible scholar side." She asked, if she could have my phone number, again, weird... Why did she feel the need to continue to push this class on me if I was identifying myself as a Bible believing Christian? I gave her an email address that I use for stores , looking back I shouldn't even have done that with how uncomfortable she made me. In the moment i was trying to be nice and give her the benefit of the doubt in case she was just a new overly excited Christian. Just this evening i was searching my email for something and came across the flyer this lady had sent me. Out of curiosity I opened it to read the info and did a search which lead me to you ladies and some other info. I fully agree with you all about this group. This poor lady I met is clearly part of this cult. Praise God for His protection over you!
To summarize my warning signs were
1. Purposely vague titles "Bible Study" "Bible College", keeps you from being able to identify them
2. Her inability to accept that I know Jesus and believe scripture. Which alerted me to
3. Her thinly vailed belief that only her specific group could provide answers and truth.
Saying Jesus is the only way and Scripture is the Inspired Word of God is completely different than "my church is the only way and only my church can explain the Bible"
Thank you so much for sharing your story!! I'm glad you knew the Bible for yourself and yes most bible studies are under a church the fact that she couldn't give you a name and was very pushy is scary but yes they do believe that their way is the only way
Omg I just learned that today! They said we had to hide the “treasure” like the man who found the hidden treasure, hid it, and sold all he had. Then they used another scripture in Isaiah where he said daughter against mother, son against father and said beware of your family and even your husband. Thats when my stomach started turning because I felt like they are leading up to isolation. AND THEY REFUSE TO ANSWER MY QUESTIONS. I ask them what their name is and they keep saying “we are missionaries who came together to teach the word”. All of the teachings and drawings are the same so they learned it from one source. Secondly, they lowkey are getting more strict. You can’t eat on camera, you have to sit up, dress nice. They even put people in a time out room for not having their camera on. The most telling part is if you have a question they start scheduling meetings with the Bible study teachers letting you know they talk behind the scenes to fly monkey you when you seem insubordinate. They hate QUESTIONS about who they are saying “food at the proper time”!
Exacttlyyyyyy
So glad each of you made it out.
Wow you guys are awesome getting 15 people out!!! I been in this for their whole parable series and they were just about to be revealing who this “promised pastor” was but just before this had us invite people to join, so I had invited a couple people, one just started. I had a homework assignment to give a short explanation on how one of the parables point to a promised pastor for today, so the point of this is to get us to admit that this is in fact the truth..so much psychological damage, so when they do reveal the promise pastor you actually stated that it was true by the parable teaching in the Bible. So I was really struggling with this, I literally could not find any biblical explanation of a promise pastor only their interpretations that point to this, nothing in the Bible actually points to this concept. I just did a UA-cam search on promised pastor at second coming and finally I found out the truth of this group, Schinchonji….i just found out yesterday. I been looking up all these kinds of stories and I just can’t even believe I got tricked into this. Please pray for me, I need so much healing!!!! I just told my friend who joined so she knows. Now I have to break the news to them that I’m not continuing
Hi,
Just get out of it. You don’t need to give any explanation. Don’t worry. I just told them yesterday. God doesn’t work with pressure and fear. There are deceiving spirits behind (Demons). I’ll pray for you.
@@judithmarki-baumgartner4178 thank you!! Yup I left immediately, I told them that their leader is talking to demons not Jesus
I got out on January.. I did 7 month. I left a real Bible college. I was drawn to it by studying Prophecies. Yet I was in real Bible college and I left it because it was called maddening wine. Yet I stayed because it was interesting to know about Prophecies. But I started seeing the same drawings on every lesson it bought red flags. I was there for the first lessons till the test. When I failed it yet they said it’s ok.. you can move on. Then they told me not to look social media.. bla bla bbla … I said ok after that I did my research and blocked everyone.. I called my pastor and had him pray.. I was mad because this group used the Bible in ways but they couldn’t confuse me.. a lot went on especially at my age… I praise God..
Thank God you are out! God is good
I got out recently too and blocked everyone.
Same here. I was invited to SCJ unknowingly by a girl from United Young and when I got into SCJ, I saw that most of the SCJ members were on United Young. But Thank you so much for sharing your experience and glad you all got out!
We are in the last days we have to keep our eyes open. Satan is waiting to deceive us and stray us away from our father
@@kirasmessage I'm telling you... We are truly in the last days. He can't deceive some by worldly desires, so he will use doctrines that sound true to lure those who are eager for the Word of God.
@@GuardedHeartsInChrist exactly but he better know we are covered in the blood of Jesus and that God is protecting us!
@@kirasmessage Amen! Amen! Amen!
This month officially marks 1 year that I left the group. I was approached through United Young as well by a friendly girl who invited me to the “bible study.” I spent 6 uncomfortable months in the group, and thank God almighty for pulling me out of there. SCJ is deceitful and completely distorts the word of God.
People are always looking to control others, especially if it benefits them in one or more ways. Glad you 3 saw the truth.
Thanks for sharing this 😊
Thanks for raising awareness 😀🙏
Dang I knew it!! Im about to be leaving my group now!!! I can't believe the betrayal

They almost got me, I was lucky in that the holy spirit highlighted something they said after 10 weeks of indoctrination via bible study. I searched the net and found out it was these people.
Thank you Jesus💕
i'm making a video on this as well!! realizing how much time i spent in this sickens me, they're everywhere on social apps & friend/dating apps - thanks for talking about this!!
Yes they are everywhere its crazy

I was just recently invited and I felt something off about it without even knowing about them and I spoke to a friend of mine. She kept saying wait I heard something about them and she sent me this video along with 2 others. Thank you for sharing 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽

If you are watching this here are the red flags I see from being in it for a little while
1) Tell you not to tell friends and family
2) Try to control every element (write in notebook, be on camera, dress nice, answer all at the same time, won’t tell you the commitment or how long the class is until you are already in it, get more strict, can’t communicate with other people in class)
3) Evades questions and tell you “food at the proper time” to delay the answers
4) LIARS - I downright asked them if this was SCJ and they lied in my face I guess they missed that scripture
5) They use people you’ve known for awhile to recruit you.
6) They create flying monkeys. Ask a question about their organization and see how they start putting meetings on your schedule with the higher ups.
7) They start making your relationship with God more communal than personal. Tell you to only pray about things concerning the Kingdom
8) They will kill your personality you won’t have any dreams or goals anymore
9) They use the scripture to instill fear in you and promote their Bible study as the truth and use manipulative examples to make you feel like if you leave you are a seed of Satan.
Galatians 1:8
But even if we, or an angel from heaven, should preach to you
a gospel contrary to what we have preached to you, he is to be accursed.
1 John 4:1
Dear friends, do not believe everyone who claims to speak by the Spirit. You must test them to see if the spirit they have comes from God. For there are many false prophets in the world.
Matthew 24:4-5
And Jesus said to them, “See that no one leads you astray. For many will come in my name, saying, ‘I am the Christ,’ and they will lead many astray.
This is absolutely true
I just came out of the World Mission Society Church of God cult.. I cannot believe how similar our stories are... Hang in there and just pray to the true God in Heaven. And, of course enjoy your life right this very second right now. 😊😊😊
you too❤️
I was in this group for a year, I left in January 2022. I still feel some trauma from it😅 I was a brand new Christian when I got approached by a normal looking Christian girl on Instagram. I thought it was just a humble group of people too because they mailed me birthday gifts and money etc… then they manipulated me and told me to lie to my family & boyfriend about joining the course. I told my bf and he told me DO NOT join the class! But I did it anyways. It was the worst decision of my life for sure. And in 2022 once I was trying to find the real faith in Jesus in the Bible with only the Holy Spirit and prayer, I realized me joining the class was me being like Eve and my boyfriend like Adam💔 I will always regret this
Don't beat yourself up, honey!! it's a learning experience I could believe I joined it either but it helped sharpen my discernment and I am now able to help others who go through similar situations it taught me to get in my word and read it myself instead of listening to what people say

I accidentally joined the cult on an online app called "Meetup". The minute the woman said "New Heavens and Earth Church" (her mistake) I knew something was wrong. I did a quick google search whilst in the call and found it was a cult. I pretended like everything was normal until the end and blocked and reported the group.
Oh woww I'm glad she said that they did not tell us until we asked and even when we asked they best around the bush and didn't want to tell the truth

Im currently in this Bible study group and I’m been having doubts and not sure what to do.
The other girl asked what church is this Bible study organization through and asked if this is associated with shincheonji but at the end of the day we knew what they were teaching wasn't right so we left and stayed in our word and prayer and did our own Bible study together occasionally
Jesus, I swear I'm in this group .. I can't.. how did you all got out 😭😭😭help
I swear I'm done , everything that on upward and the bff buddy just spaying and so many personal questions I don't even want to talk to them more
We just left and blocked them and everyone who has reached out to me to share their story has done the same
Pray about it love
@@kirasmessage amen thank you
Honestly the hide the word , don’t go to your church they don’t have the revealed word and prayer answered by satan
It’s been mentally torturing
@@kirasmessage I'm also in the same situation like her. Last year I couldn't complete the course so I decided to continue again this year. I'm seeking advice from you shall I continue or leave the group. I'm still in the group.
And I'm not taking very seriously about the listen I just want to learn like random that's why I don't have much idea about them personally. The reason I said this is because everything was going well so far with me and I'm learning alot, like the sealed book, prophesy, fulfilled ment, soft food, solid food ect. This are all new words for me and learned many new words from the Bible.
So, I'll be much appreciated if you could share more information about SCJ as I'm in the processing of learning. And so far I don't get any frustration from them, if I don't like attending they don't force me, also if I absent for many days they'll just message but I don't get any single call to this day. Thank you.
@@Rajamk11115 I encourage you to maintain a consistent prayer life, asking God to open your eyes and ears to His guidance. If this path aligns with His will for you, He will make it clear. When He does, resist doubt and confusion, and instead, comprehend His revelations. Often, we neglect to pray before embarking on ventures or inviting people into our lives. We fail to seek God's guidance regarding career choices and opportunities. Consequently, we sometimes find ourselves wishing we had sought His guidance more earnestly beforehand. Therefore, I advise you to remain steadfast in prayer. When God directs you and reveals truths to you, embrace them wholeheartedly.
Same in here ,in Turkey. They were hiding themselves. I was happy when i have zoom lessons to learn bible
I am Muslum and i respect Gods book and wanted to learn so I thought they were teaching Bible and Kuran and Gods word ! After 3 or 4 months they expalined the organization name and Korean man so ,i reserched about them , its a cult ! I am schoked and confused and I left them immediatly
My husband & I were invited to a Bible study from a friend in Chicago, they seem legitimate but soon as we continued our studies, we saw red flags! Long story short we confronted the “senior pastor” that their teachings seemed like “mixing teaching” & we insisted to know their source of curriculum. We didn’t see salvation by grace, they denied the deity of Christ & didn’t mention the Holy Spirit. Through some investigating on our own, discover the New Creation Bible Study by the Chicago Church was associated with Zion Christian Mission Center aka Shincheonji aka New Heaven New Earth. I confronted my friend, couldn’t believe we waste four months on this & felt like we were being programmed & brainwash! I’m very sick with ME/CFS & POTS, I was looking to grow my faith in traditional Christian teaching but knowing I was being indoctrinated to a stupid cult upset me beyond belief esp because I’m a Korean American & am aware of Korean cults. I felt so violated & abused with their tactics. I tried to warn my friend but she is so heavily invested, she is an exact replica of the cult members. Their abusive & underhand practices are disgusting & despicable! All people must be warned & be aware of this deceitful cult hiding behind other names, being so secretive & manipulative. I pray God expose & dismantle them!!! Lord, make them repent before it’s too late!
When people are freakishly nice and outgoing out of the blue be on guard. They tried to get me too. I went to 4 Bible studies on zoom and by the third one they were trying to offer a "free theology course" and at first I thought it was ok so I was going to say yes but thankfully the Holy Spirit has opened my eyes before I got too deep.
Hi, I’m also currently a part of this study and want to leave but don’t know how. 😢 Any tips?
Hey! I hope all is well. Did you listen to the whole video? If not, we just gathered information and understood enough biblically to know the lies they told us weren't true so they could not confuse us. That's why we read the word for ourselves because many can take it out of context and not read the whole chapter but instead take out a verse to make it for what they want, but we blocked them and didn't join the calls again and made sure we prayed and read our word. we will be starting our bible study soon until then stay in your word and prayer
@@kirasmessage I just finished it. Thank you all for sharing I relate sooo much to all the wrestling of thoughts you guys had before leaving. I don’t know who in my group is new like me or a part of the organization so I feel a bit alone. I will review their doctrine and compare to the Bible and pray for full confirmation before doing any action (I’m super close to blocking and leaving the group though).
@@kelechi5093 keep praying God will guide and lead you!!
First of all I loved this video❤️❤️❤️. And if you guys ever have a REAL Bible study I'm here.
So.....
The ironic thing is they also teach about cults in one of their classes. I was recruited by a Korean girl in a Pen pal app. And in my head I know I'm not a good Christian so I accept the Bible meetings I'm gonna grow spiritually after all right?
Everyone was so friendly and nice very nice. The first few lessons were good. But for me the first red flags came in the exams. They gave us questions with the answers there already and they told us if exam period came, we have to write it the same way.
I found it ridiculous because I've never been taught this way before. Even real teachers in schools don't do this. They don't write answers and tell you you have to write exact to the punctuation.
So exam came and I wrote in my own way instead of one word answers. And the teachers didn't like that. I knew me and some other students did well but we had to take the test again because no one got 100% 🙄.
2.) Our teacher said that having another god is a sexual sin🤨. OK I understand the commandment " You may have no other God but me" . But how is it sexual?
3.) They said not to tell other people about the secrets of heaven and the word of God. Not even family...Excuse me?? How did you find me then?? 🧐
4.) There's this one time some of us didn't have lights because of where we live and this teacher was like,,
" use your mobile data or something. Will you tell God you didn't come to the class because you didn't have lights?? God will tell you depart from me!!"
And many other ridiculous things.
But getting out is so hard because I got many good friends
Sorry for the long post
The Holy Spirit opened your eyes and ears to see that this was not normal and strange. They are being very secretive was a red flag because, again, we are called to spread the word of God, and the good news is you should try to share this with your friends but also understand that a lot of people in the “Bible study” that we thought were friends have been apart of it for years and lied and said they were new like us keep praying, and I will be doing the same for you.
when we put together a bible study i will let you know❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I was approached in Facebook to join a Bible study. I had joined a Christian page and next thing I know they were texting me on messenger and tried to add me on a group call. I finally had to block my number.
Do they troll on Facebook?
I’ve been doing Bible studies for 7 months I just found out it was scj the only way I found out is I was send people on Facebook the Bible studies invites and they asked was I apart or SCJ. So I texted my instructor and asked it took forever to reply and then wanted to talk on the phone then she said I shouldn’t look it up on the internet the knowledge of good and evil this just happened yesterday I’m so confused and upset right now
I am so sorry to hear that honestly, it sounds like my situation at the time I was so confused but I stayed in prayer some thing that stuck out to me that showed me something was up was them telling us not to do research or not to tell anyone because I've never experienced that in any Bible study that I have attended nor has my parents or family because we are all Christians like usually in Bible study. You're able to leave and tell people or your loved ones but they told us not to so it was a big red flag and then of course they confessed that they were SCJ
SCJ is being exposed now more than ever God is trying to open your eyes this is not a coincidence
I’m in intermediate and they just told us a couple weeks ago we’re in Revelation 18 currently and keep talking about the one who overcomes kinda more then Jesus is what had me feeling kinda weird. When I first looked at things online yesterday I felt like it’s just Satan testing me but now after watching multiple videos from other people who’ve been in the group and they have recently told us we should leave our churches is giving so many red flags.
@@gabriellewooding3898 they told us we would have to leave our church too and that was weird they aren't going to tell people about how they believe the spirit of Jesus is only working through one man who is lee man hee
@@gabriellewooding3898 if you haven't already, run now. I found their teaching seductive but if you search on youtube you can fin the truth about them
Are there any videos of ppl who refute the SCJ with scripture? I appreciate testimonies but the standard is found in the word, I have been investigating, and I find that everyone just shares their experience of their ‘cult’ culture, but what I am after is TRUTH. If SCJ is from the enemy, then the word of truth will tear down their fallacy & that is what I’m after 😢 (the truth not just testimony but word coming from God)
I don’t mean to invalidate testimony, but people can fabricate lies & we can’t rely on our own emotion (that’s how cults thrive BCS of what they’re able to make ppl feel) which is why the word is important & can rebuke us
The main foundation of their doctrine-that the spirit of Jesus Christ is working through only one man, Man Hee Lee. Jesus is on his throne in Heaven until his return, a time which everyone on earth will know when it happens (Behold, He is coming with the clouds, and every eye will see Him, even those who pierced Him). They believe those who follow SCJ teachings are the only ones who understand the Bible and are therefore saved.
The gospel says all who have faith and repent will have life everlasting. Not “all those who listen to a man who will change his interpretation of the scriptures multiple times in a decade”
And most of all, they believe Jesus is a prophet and a spirit, not God incarnate.
That verse was Revelation 1:7
I understand from my experience of actually being in the cult they would say things that contradict the bible like you are not saved unless you know parables or that you won't make it into heaven if you do not know parables. Romans 10:9 contradicts what they told us about being saved you would have to actually experience the cult and know the word for yourself to see that what they are telling you does not make sense
@@kirasmessage I have joined the classes & I think I will take your suggestion on reading the entire context. I am saddened to hear what peoples experience has been like bcs mine has been pretty nice. But of course, I won’t go based off that, I will continue listening & read the entire context & if there’s discrepancies I will ask & acknowledge them. I truly hope to be guided by the word 🙏🏼 please pray for us to find the truth & stand up against lies
This is so sad.
Your prayers got answered girls.
But unfortunately, you couldn’t discern which spirit you guys were listening to.
This is so so so sad.
bruh... they were literally recruiting @ perimeter mall... UGH
Omg I think I was in the same class as you guys, were you with Instructor M or C?
Instructor M
What is a Cult? and what is a true christian? People want to label people as a cult ?What will a person say on Judgement day,how can a christian discern today? using youtube comments? I am listening to all these people who are chasing clout expecting to live forever with the martyrs and Jesus who were called a cult themselves.If they called Jesus demon possessed and son of beelzubub they will call the true followers of Jesus a cult too.I wish i can tell you the trap of satan who leads the whole world astray but l will pray for all of you in this channel.
Olivia I would love to connect with you I was in Atlanta for 5 years I left this year I’m April I’m from 3rd class and have permanently been shunned. I got baptized in Jesus name recently 🙏🏾💕 I hope they see my comment cause they look at stuff like that and try to “expose you” I left because there is physical abuse being hidden in the “sea of glass” …. Please reach out if y’all would like so glad to see y’all 😊y’all must’ve been 30+ class
Hey I just left too a week ago
Please look to God and Hos word for the answers our thoughts and ways are so much lower...scriptures have the answers you're willing to humbly seek and listen with your whole heart. I'm sorry heart was hardened and any experience from a lacking vessel but God's truth and word is in fulfillment.🙏🏽 love and peace be with you
I'm in the word every day! Thank you for your words though
I would say the words in the bible are morally inferior to secular morality. It's actually rather disgusting.
Exodus 21:2-7 If you buy a Hebrew servant, he is to serve you for six years. But in the seventh year, he shall go free, without paying anything. If he comes alone, he is to go free alone; but if he has a wife when he comes, she is to go with him. If his master gives him a wife and she bears him sons or daughters, the woman and her children shall belong to her master, and only the man shall go free. But if the servant declares, 'I love my master and my wife and children and do not want to go free,' then his master must take him before the judges. He shall take him to the door or the doorpost and pierce his ear with an awl. Then he will be his servant for life. If a man sells his daughter as a servant, she is not to go free as menservants do.
Exodus 21:20-21 If a man beats his male or female slave with a rod and the slave dies as a direct result, he must be punished, but he is not to be punished if the slave gets up after a day or two, since the slave is his property.
Leviticus 25:44-46 'Your male and female slaves are to come from the nations around you; from them you may buy slaves. You may also buy some of the temporary residents living among you and members of their clans born in your country, and they will become your property. You can will them to your children as inherited property and can make them slaves for life, but you must not rule over your fellow Israelites ruthlessly.
Numbers 31:17-18 Now kill all the boys. And kill every woman who has slept with a man, but save for yourselves every girl who has never slept with a man.
Deuteronomy 20:10-15 When you march up to attack a city, make its people an offer of peace. If they accept and open their gates, all the people in it shall be subject to forced labor and shall work for you. If they refuse to make peace and they engage you in battle, lay siege to that city. When the LORD your God delivers it into your hand, put to the sword all the men in it. As for the women, the children, the livestock and everything else in the city, you may take these as plunder for yourselves. And you may use the plunder the LORD your God gives you from your enemies. This is how you are to treat all the cities that are at a distance from you and do not belong to the nations nearby.
Deuteronomy 21:10-14 When you go to war against your enemies and the LORD your God delivers them into your hands and you take captives, if you notice among the captives a beautiful woman and are attracted to her, you may take her as your wife. Bring her into your home and have her shave her head, trim her nails and put aside the clothes she was wearing when captured. After she has lived in your house and mourned her father and mother for a full month, then you may go to her and be her husband and she shall be your wife. If you are not pleased with her, let her go wherever she wishes. You must not sell her or treat her as a slave, since you have dishonored her.
Ok but the teachings are all biblical, they’re all right there in the Word that’s why I can’t really leave. Like it all actually makes sense…….
Some individuals may selectively interpret passages from the Bible to suit their own beliefs, even if they don't adhere to the core tenets such as Jesus being God or the significance of the Holy Spirit. I advise that they pray and earnestly seek God's guidance, as He will reveal the truth to those who sincerely seek Him.
What makes you end up in a cult? What made you feel that you had in a cult? Because if their teaching is not with a supporting Bible verses, and the interpretation is based on man's understanding and not of the spirit--the true has not been revealed or made known to you then it is better not to contiue. So that we will all be aware of. Thank you.
You don't know you are in a cult they say it is a Bible study and then when you are in you start realizing that this is not right
Everyone can quote or cherry-pick Bible verses. The question is did they use the verses in its proper context? A proper Bible study is done by reading the whole book, chapter by chapter, verse by verse, start to end, no jumping around.
@@redpillman9663 we did not ever read the whole chapter we read different verses
@@kirasmessage that’s why I said a proper Bible study is done by reading the whole book, from beginning to end. SCJ’s “bible” study class is done by cherry-picking verses, then inserting their own interpretations.
@@redpillman9663 which is very confusing especially since I was told that we would be going over Genesis to revelation and then we didn't
How did you know it's a cult..
What prove do you have please
1. **Exclusive Claims**: Shincheonji often claims to be the true and only representation of Christianity, rejecting other Christian denominations as false or incomplete.
2. **Centralized Authority**: The movement is heavily centralized around its founder, Lee Man-hee, who is viewed by followers as the "promised pastor" or even the messianic figure.
3. **Secrecy and Deception**: Shincheonji has been accused of being secretive about its teachings and practices, often requiring members to keep their involvement hidden from friends and family outside the group.
4. **Isolation**: Followers are encouraged to cut ties with non-believers, including family members and friends who are not part of the movement. This isolation can create a sense of dependency on the group.
5. **Control and Manipulation**: Former members have reported experiences of psychological manipulation, including pressure to recruit new members and strict control over personal choices and behavior.
6. **End-Times Beliefs**: Shincheonji has specific beliefs about the end times and the role of their founder in bringing about salvation, which can be seen as diverging from traditional Christian interpretations of eschatology.
1. **Exclusive Claims**:
- John 14:6 (NIV): "Jesus answered, 'I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.'"
- Acts 4:12 (NIV): "Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to mankind by which we must be saved."
2. **Centralized Authority**:
- Matthew 23:8-10 (NIV): "But you are not to be called ‘Rabbi,’ for you have one Teacher, and you are all brothers. And do not call anyone on earth ‘father,’ for you have one Father, and he is in heaven. Nor are you to be called instructors, for you have one Instructor, the Messiah."
- 1 Corinthians 3:11 (NIV): "For no one can lay any foundation other than the one already laid, which is Jesus Christ."
3. **Secrecy and Deception**:
- John 3:20 (NIV): "Everyone who does evil hates the light, and will not come into the light for fear that their deeds will be exposed."
- Ephesians 5:11 (NIV): "Have nothing to do with the fruitless deeds of darkness, but rather expose them."
4. **Isolation**:
- 2 Corinthians 6:14 (NIV): "Do not be yoked together with unbelievers. For what do righteousness and wickedness have in common? Or what fellowship can light have with darkness?"
- 1 Corinthians 15:33 (NIV): "Do not be misled: 'Bad company corrupts good character.'"
5. **Control and Manipulation**:
- Galatians 5:1 (NIV): "It is for freedom that Christ has set us free. Stand firm, then, and do not let yourselves be burdened again by a yoke of slavery."
- Colossians 2:8 (NIV): "See to it that no one takes you captive through hollow and deceptive philosophy, which depends on human tradition and the elemental spiritual forces of this world rather than on Christ."
6. **End-Times Beliefs**:
- Matthew 24:23-24 (NIV): "At that time if anyone says to you, ‘Look, here is the Messiah!’ or, ‘There he is!’ do not believe it. For false messiahs and false prophets will appear and perform great signs and wonders to deceive, if possible, even the elect."
What is the definition of cult? If you have been in a cult and you came out successfully then you have not experienced cultism. Cultism is not something you enter and just come out to be putting your experience on UA-cam. Just a false alarm
Go do your research on SCJ then come back and say sonething... it is a Korean cult.. thanks tho
According to most experts in the field of sociology and psychology, a cult typically exhibits characteristics such as charismatic leadership, manipulation and control tactics, isolation from outside influences, and often a distinctive belief system that deviates significantly from mainstream ideologies.
Shincheonji, also known as the "New Heaven and New Earth" movement, has been widely recognized as a cult by scholars and experts due to its secretive nature, hierarchical structure, and control over members' lives. It has been accused of employing coercive recruitment tactics and strict control mechanisms over its members.
Numerous testimonies and reports from former members of Shincheonji attest to the group's manipulative practices, including deceptive recruitment methods, enforced isolation from family and friends, and psychological manipulation to maintain loyalty to the group and its leader.
Many individuals who have left Shincheonji have reported experiencing psychological trauma, loss of personal autonomy, and difficulties reintegrating into society due to the group's strict control and indoctrination tactics. Just because someone manages to leave a cult does not negate the harm and trauma they may have experienced while involved with the group.
