Is SCJ Church of Jesus really a cult?
Is SCJ Church of Jesus really a cult? Is it a cult from God’s point of view or is it a cult from the point of view of men? We should confirm! whether or not SCJ is a cult using the Bible as our standard. Let’s discover the correct answer.
Since 1990, many Christians have joined SCJ after listening to SCJ’s revealed word (i. e. the word of revelation). This mass exodus of Christians angered many Korean pastors, and in response, these pastors have held several meetings to work out strategies for preventing their congregation members from leaving their churches. Ultimately, they decided to call SCJ a cult to avoid losing any more congregation members.
Just consider the 6,000 years of biblical history. Isn’t it clear that God’s prophets in both the Old and New Testaments were persecuted and killed for their testimonies (Mt 23:34-35; Acts 7:51-53; Rv 18:24)? As if it weren’t enough for God’s people to kill the prophets, they also falsely accused Jesus and his disciples of being heretics, cult leaders, and demon-possessed troublemakers so that they could murder them as well (Mt 12:22-24; Jn 8:51-54; Acts 7:55-60; Acts 24:1-5). They treated Jesus and his disciples as if they belonged to Satan so that their congregation members would not approach them (Jn 3:14; Mt 23:13). Just as confirm!ed through the references above, God’s messengers in each generation were persecuted (Heb 11:32-38).
Korean pastors have accused SCJ of being a cult; they falsely testified that SCJ proclaimed Mt 24 was the only passage in the Bible that describes the end times. SCJ, however, has never said any such thing. There is no evidence that this is true in any sermon recording or book published by SCJ. It is not God, but Korean pastors who decided to label SCJ as a cult. They have done this just as the people of the past mistreated God’s messengers as heretics. If you compare God’s prophets and apostles to the other pastors of their respective generations, those who spoke on behalf of God were orthodox. The latter group—the religious leaders of the world—however, were the real heretics.
We in SCJ have offered Korean pastors the chance to have a conversation with us several times, but they are thoughtlessly refuse our requests and continue to call us a cult. The true heretics, are today’s pastors who misunderstand the Bible. Because they have sown the seed of the weeds (i.e. the false teachings of Satan) in people’s hearts without knowing the true meaning of the Bible means they have given birth to the spiritual children of the devil (Mt 13:38-39). Anyone who preaches lies is a heretic.
SCJ is the place that has mastered the Old and New Testaments by receiving the revelation of heaven. It is a place that is testifying about the physical fulfillment of the Bible (Rv 1:2; Rv 10; Rv 22:16). For these reasons, SCJ is truly orthodox.
Therefore, anyone who calls the orthodoxy of SCJ a cult proves him or herself to be a heretic. They cannot obtain salvation; they will be judged. Those who post slanderous or disparaging comments about SCJ on the Internet are nothing but cyber-thugs. They think their actions are righteous, and they refuse to engage in a civilized discussion with us. If you believe their claims, SCJ is bringing Christianity to ruin. The reality, however, is that they are the ones who are destroying Christianity and killing the faith of their fellow Christians. They disgrace and torment fellow Christians with their slanderous words. Without even a hint of morality or reason, they grow more and more wicked by the day.
It is not even worth having religious conversations with these unprincipled persecutors who are working against God and the Bible.

For many will come in my name, claiming, 'I am the Christ,' and will deceive many. (Matt24:5)

I know that after I leave, savage wolves will come in among you and will not spare the flock. Even from your own number men will arise and distort the truth in order to draw away disciples after them." (Acts 20:28-30)
ReplyDeleteThis is why pastors are weary. The members of the New Heaven and New Earth church don't present themselves as such, but sneak into other churches, lie about their intentions and beliefs, and attempt to pull people into their church. They don't reveal their true beliefs until a few months into their own Bible study. Immediate self-identification of New Heaven and New Earth church members when asked about their theological or ecclesiastical orientation would stifle much of the current form of Protestant reaction against them...however, it would also likely greatly diminish their effectiveness in evangelism, given the justifiable stigma held against them. In other words, given the nature of their church's unorthodox theology and currently existing stigma against them, the only way they can effectively survive is to lie about their own theological/ecclesiastical standing and at the same time, demonize all others.
amen! thank you for this post! i can see why people would persecute you all but clearly it is all through scripture and i can clearly see how God is working in this era as he has been in the past 6000years. thank you
