[Shincheonji Church of Jesus]: Shincheonji Peter Tribe Graduation, 4147 students graduated!!

Shincheonji Peter Tribe Graduation

 

 The Zion Christian Mission Center Graduation of Shincheonji Peter tribe, one of the 12 tribes in Shincheonji Church of Jesus, was held at Yeom-ju Gymnasium, Gwang-ju (光州), the city of light, on December 1^st.

 

   The Peter tribe turned out more than 4,000 students who finished all courses of Zion Mission Center. All graduates who participated in this ceremony are people who have been harvested according to the prophecies in the New Testament and were taught at Zion Center through the introductory, intermediate, and advanced education sessions. Also, they took a graduation test when they finished the advanced session, where they were educated with the prophecies and their physical fulfillment of the entire book of Revelation without adding to or subtracting from it. They satisfied the requirement that they should acquire a score above 90 out of 100 on that graduation test.They are people who did not add or subtract anything from the Revelation (Rev 22:18-19), and they are people who were sealed with God and Jesus’ name (Rev Chapter 14); also, they are the first fruits who were born by the word of truth (James 1:18).

    After the sermon, there was a performance about the unification of religion and world peace, and everyone who attended this ceremony longed for the world peace. Moreover, foreign pastors who came to Korea to learn Shincheonji’s word participated in this celebration, and they also were happy to be a messenger of world peace.

 

 Peter tribe’s graduation ceremony was a proof that Shincheonji has the word of truth that people eager to listen for many years, and the world peace definitely can be completed by the word of truth which exists only in Shincheonji.

Open Bible Seminar in the Philippines

Fulfillment of the East, Travels to the South (5)

Wednesday, June 12, 2013 – Thursday, June 18, 2013 in the Philippines

 

Chairman Man Hee Lee and Hee delegation chose the Philippines to notify the solution of world peace for this visiting. They received a passionate welcome from the local pastors and the young. Also, the press in the Philippines showed high interest to a peace activist, Chairman Lee, as soon as they heard that he arrived at the capital of the Philippines, Manila. About 30 main presses attended the conference asking a lot of questions. Chairman Lee took part in live broadcast and introduced the meaning and acts of world peace and the restoration of light. Major press media in the Philippines reported work of Chairman Lee for peace day in.

 
Open Bible Seminar, thousands of people gathered – local pastors “Amazing”
 
  Staying in the Philippines, it was the Open Bible Seminar that it took all interest of residents. Four Seminars were held, and about 5,000 people attended. The first day of Open Bible Seminar, Chairman Lee testified the whole contents of Bible connecting the Old Testament and the New Testament and showed a passionate figure to help listener’s understanding. Pastors were impressed about these points that Chairman Lee testified and showed. Also, they never have listened to this kind of word that is about the fulfillments of the New Testament before, so they were surprised and glad to listen to this word.

Pastors who attended this seminar wanted to listen more about the word of fulfillment, so they invited Chairman Lee to hold another conference. They voluntarily ask Chairman Lee to hold the convocation of Revelation, and about 100 pastors came to listen to the word of Revelation.  After the convocation, they had a question and answer session at dinner time.

“Thank you for delivering the light to the Philippines sincerely.”

  One of pastors expressed his gratitude. Also, pastors who visited Chairman Lee’s seminar said if they have a chance to learn this word, they will learn this word, and they would gather more pastors to learn this word.

   Wherever Chairman Lee goes, the work of Holy Spirit appears. People were happy to meet this Peace Advocate, Chairman Lee, and they could learn the source of the world peace to make world more beautiful than before.

The real material of World Peace is the word of God that is about the fulfillments of the prophecies in the Bible. Shincheonji has the fulfillments of the Bible that no one has ever heard it before, and world will be healed by this word of fulfillment. The world gladded to listen to the word of fulfillment and light, and they already acknowledged this word of God.

 There must be a reason why people wanted to hear this word. Come and listen to the word of God, word of fulfillment, then, you can find the reason why people wanted it.

Religion News : [Shincheonji testify] - 18-Minute Sermons?Pastors Blast TED Ispired Advice

18-Minute Sermons? Pastors Blast TED Inspired Advice

By Tyler O'Neil, CP Contributor

August 9, 2013|4:29 pm


Several pastors criticized the suggestion that 18-minute sermons would be the most effective way to share the Gospel on Sunday mornings, as proposed by a seminary student inspired by TED talks.

Jeff Tatarchuck, an Andrews University seminary student and guest writer on TED, a non-profit dedicated to "Ideas Worth Spreading," suggested pastors limit their Sunday messages to 18 minutes. He argued that shorter messages would make more sermons go viral.

If "the topic is short and simple enough for people to listen and digest the information, it makes it much easier for the audience to take action, which is to share the information with others," he wrote. Making the Gospel short, simple, and shareable would greatly expand the pastor's reach, and bring more people to Christ, he said

While agreeing that they need to broadcast the Gospel as widely as possible, several pastors said that 18 minutes proves extremely insufficient for their mission in the pulpit.

Ken Hutcherson, former NFL linebacker and senior pastor of Seattle's Antioch Bible Church, told The Christian Post, "I guess we'd better make professional football games eighteen minutes – have you noticed how bored they are when the fourth quarter comes around?" Hutcherson found Tatarchuck's suggestion of 18-minute sermons laughable.

"No one can drive over eighteen minutes anywhere because their attention span drops," he quipped. Like some people's morning commute, his sermons go for about 40 to 45 minutes, "and sometimes that's too short."

Follow us

Hutcherson, who has spent three years preaching through the Gospel of John, claimed that inspiration from the Holy Spirit and connecting with his audience matter a great deal more than the length of his sermon. He traced the problem back to pastors themselves, who too often make their sermons dry.

"As in the football stadium, people in church get excited by something that stimulates them," he said. To better connect with his congregation, Hutcherson said he studies the word, trusts God, and uses all of himself, "steadied up under the Holy Spirit, I turn myself loose when I get in the pulpit."

"I love TED talks," Ryan Carrell, lead pastor of Indianapolis' The Southeast Project Church, to CP Thursday, but said his focus, like Hutcherson's, isn't on brevity.

Less heavy on step-by-step exegesis, Carrell zeroes in on connecting with people, he said. He acknowledged that every week "there are churched and unchurched, Christians and not-yet-Christians, in the same room." He connects people with biblical narratives, not by holding up biblical heroes, but by linking their struggles with the struggles of his congregation – and showing how God changes everything.

Carrell emphasized that faith grows gradually, over time, in the process of sanctification. His "modern church" uses sermons as a path to relationships with his congregation. "We can do a lot of teaching on Sunday mornings, but discipleship really occurs in those community moments as people are wrestling with faith together, not staring in rows and listening to somebody preaching," he said.

Despite his church's modern style, the Indianapolis pastor said he would never limit his sermons to 18 minutes, because sometimes it takes 40 or 45 minutes to inspire his audience through scripture.

Wallace Henley, senior associate pastor of the 60,000 member Houston Second Baptist Church and columnist for CP, echoed both Hutcherson and Carrell's main points. "What happens when the Spirit of God manifests itself through the world and people are magnetically attracted to it? They want more after 18 minutes," he told CP. Also, "it would be wrong to think that we could truly disciple a person in an 18-minute time span."

Henley also emphasized the need, even in topical sermons, of setting the exegetical background for a bible passage. He said his 40-minute sermons explain the background, why the text was written, and how to apply the passage today.

He related Hutcherson's focus on teaching and Carrell's emphasis on community with the call for discipleship. "You can make a disciple, as Jesus made disciples, in the relationship and the intentional teaching ties, as modeled in the Sermon on the Mount."

    Recently, Christianity tries to pay attention to people, so it makes their duties useless. Even though sermons are absolutely part of God, human’s convenience is becoming a standard of many Christians’ activities. Reducing the sermon time is nonsense on the ground that people can be easily boring. It could be possible, however; if the word is truth and word of life, anyone really wants to listen to the word whether it takes one minutes or one hour.

  Word which makes people feel good can be found other places in the world. However, the word of truth, life is nowhere. If people know the word of truth, the time would not be a problem.

[Man Hee Lee Interview] - WVOX covers Man Hee Lee visiting

WVOX covers Man Hee Lee visitng the Crystal Cathedral in LA
Posted 8/16/2012 11:27:00 PM | Updated 2013-02-24 PM 11:27:40
Protester is ejected as South Korea's Man Hee Lee testifies about the Revelation ANAHEIM — In a bright, colorful and stage-managed event that almost went off without a hitch, more than 1,500 people flocked to the Crystal Cathedral here on Saturday to hear a sermon by the controversial South Korean religious leader — whose followers refer to him as Instructor Man Hee Lee.   Lee is the founder of the Tabernacle of the Testimony, which, according to its lightmeetslight website, is a ministry of 53 churches that boasts 140,000 members worldwide.   In a two-hour plus oration — given without notes and aided by a chalk board — Lee’s testimony included that Jesus has appeared before him and the Book of Revelation has already been fulfilled.   The sermon was in Korean, but attendees were provided with headsets that translated the lesson into several languages, including English and Spanish.   However, about an hour into the address, a woman ran up to the front of the church and started yelling — but she was quickly intercepted and ushered out of the building.   Lee, who asked that she be allowed to speak in the lobby, went on to acknowledge the opposition against his teachings, noting that “so many people curse me and want me dead.”   “I’m here to testify to the words of Jesus,” he said. “I am not here to bring down any other religion. God wants to save, not kill mankind.”   During the sermon, Lee references each chapter of the Book of Revelation, explaining what he feels the symbols mean.   According to the website, born in 1931 in the rural town of Gyeongbuk Cheongdo, as the 7th of 12 sons, it is said that his grandfather saw a radiant light shining upon Lee’s mother, and named him Man Hee, meaning light.   A former member of the Korean Special Forces, it’s further claimed his transformation came in the midst of prayer when a huge star came down and a heavenly figure appeared, introduced himself as Jesus and anointed him.   “According to his command, I went to a church named the Tabernacle Temple in Cheongdo where I saw and heard the events right before my eyes that were fulfilling Revelation. What I am testifying to is the fulfillment of Revelation.”   Source : http://www.scjnews.net

Only 1 in 5 Americans Believe in

 Complete Evolution Without God - New Poll

A new poll indicates that only one in five Americans believe in evolution without the guidance of God, while a majority at 62 percent believe God played some role in human creation.
The results come from a recent YouGov poll, which was conducted among 1,000 participants in the U.S. from July 8 to 9 and questioned peoples' views on the origins of humans.
The poll asked the question "Which of the following statements comes closest to your views on the origin of human beings," with 21 percent answering "Human beings evolved from less advanced life forms over millions of years, and God did not directly guide this process."
A total of 62 percent answered that God had a hand in human creation, with only 27 percent saying "Human [beings] evolved from less advanced life forms over millions of years, but God guided this process."
In addition, 55 percent said, "God created human beings in their present form within the last ten thousand years."

A total of 17 percent of participants said they were unsure of the origins of man.

Follow us

The YouGov poll says that although these results indicate a small portion of the American population believing in pure, godless evolution, they actually show a spike in pure evolutionists, compared to a poll taken in 2004.

The same question was asked by a CBS poll in 2004 and found that only 13 percent believe in total evolution without God; when the question was asked again in 2008, the number rose to 15 percent, and as seen by the most recent findings, the number has now risen to 21 percent.

YouGov said in a press release that the number of Americans believing wholly in evolution without the influence of God may increase in the coming years, if the trend from 2004 to 2013 continues.

"This number may continue to increase in the coming years, as the belief in evolution without the influence of God is most common among those 18-29 years old, with 31% of those in that age group believing it," the U.K.-based market research firm said in the press release.

The recent YouGov poll also asked Americans what they thought about the teaching of creationism in public schools, with 40 percent saying they favor the teaching of creationism and intelligent design, and 32 percent saying they oppose it; 29 percent said they are not sure.

Of those results, 57 percent of Republicans favor the teaching of creationism, compared to only 30 percent of Democrats; only five percent of Republicans believe God played no role in human creation or evolution.

YouGov, an internet-based, international market research firm founded in the U.K., conducted the survey among a "representative sample of 1,000 Americans" earlier in July.

  Which one is the truth, Evolutionism or creationism? Scientists and Christians have argued continuously about this controversy. We cannot ignore these two theories easily. If you realize the real truth, you can find out the answer that can lead you to the right way.
  
  God had hidden the truth, the secrets of the Bible, through the parables, and the meaning of the creation of heaven and earth is not an exception. The contents of Genesis are in parables, so it has deeper meaning that we should understand. The creation of heaven and earth is the re-creation of new heaven and earth, and it is the spiritual meaning.
 
  It is time to realize the true meaning of the creation of heaven and earth. Shinchonji can explain this, so you can understand the words of God that he wanted to tell us. Come and listen to the word of God in Shinchonji.

 Belief in Shinchonji, belief in God! That comes from only through the bible. Please come and see what is the truth and the belief God wants from us. 

Religion News 5 - Audio Version of Bible Now Available in 733 Languages

Audio Version of Bible Now Available in 733 Languages


July 13, 2013|12:58 pm

New Mexico-based ministry has added eight more languages to its Scripture recordings, which are now available in 733 languages with the potential of reaching three-quarters of the world's population with the Gospel. The ministry offers free access to its digital resources.

"Whether it be through resources, technology, our talented and dedicated staff, or ministry partners from all over the world, God's provision continues to make our work possible," said Jerry Jackson, founder and president of Faith Comes By Hearing, in a statement announcing the newest additions.

The new languages include Awajun from Peru; Canela from Brazil; Chadian Arabic and Kenga from Chad; Tharaka from Kenya; Toura from Cote d'Ivoire; and the Copala dialect (part of the Trique dialects) and Yatzachi dialect (of the Zapoteco dialects) from Mexico.

Chadian Arabic is the largest people group from these new releases, while the smallest is Canela, spoken primarily in Brazil, the ministry said. The new releases represent more than 1.4 million people who now have God's Word in audio available in their heart language.

The 733 languages collectively represent a potential outreach to more than 5.7 billion people in more than 189 different countries.

Faith Comes By Hearing offers free access to its digital collection of Scripture via streaming, downloads, and podcasts. The ministry has also developed apps, like Bible.is and Deaf Bible.is.

To reach out to those who do not have regular access to the Internet or mobile devices, the FCBH provides audio versions of New Testaments via its 330,000 solar-powered proclaimers.

The FCBH seeks to help fulfill the Great Commission in this generation by providing access to the Word of God in every translated language. Its mission is to "record and use heart-language Audio Bibles to bring His church together and make disciples from every nation, tribe, language, and people."

The audio version of the Bible is significant because 50 percent of the world's population is illiterate, the ministry says. "A vast majority of people living in underdeveloped countries cannot read the Word of God, even when it is translated in their own language … The easy accessibility of our Audio Bibles makes them an effective tool in spreading the Word to every person around the world who wants or needs to hear about God's Love.

    The audio version of the Bible will be helpful for people who do not easily access to the Bible. They can hear the words of the Bible easily, and they can accept the words of God more through this version. As the Bible translated into all languages in the world, I hope people in the world would realize the true meaning of the Bible and believe it to enter the kingdom of heaven.

Alabama Preacher Becomes Pastor of First Missionary Baptist Church at 19 Years Old
Courtney Meadows, Preaching Since the Age of Six, Believes He's Been 'Called' by God to Ministry

By Nicola Menzie, Christian Post Reporter

July 9, 2013/1:53 pm

(Photo: Facebook/Courtney D. Meadows)

Courtney Meadows, 19, was installed as pastor of First Missionary Baptist Church in White Hall, Ala., on Sunday, June 30,

Courtney Meadows, currently 19 and preaching since the age of six, was finally able to answer his calling when he was installed as pastor of First Missionary Baptist Church in White Hall, Ala., during a recent and well-attended Sunday service.

"I can honestly say, there has never been a time when I couldn't imagine myself preaching," Meadows told the Montgomery Advertiser. "I always make this statement: If I'm not preaching, life is not worth living for me, because I know that's what I've been called to do."

Meadows couldn't help but smile, and the congregation laugh with him, when the presiding bishop mentioned during his installation service the New Testament requirement for a church leader to be the husband of one wife and manage his children — "when the time comes," the bishop added.

Despite his age, the 19-year-old minister has been described as an "old soul" for his spiritual insight, a "blessing" and an "exceptional leader." Meadows, according to his mother, started asking questions about God when he was three years old, preached his first sermon at the age of six, became a licensed minister at age nine, and was finally ordained when he turned 18.

The "highly requested and gifted preacher and speaker," as noted on his website, will have his mother become acting first lady of First Missionary Baptist Church. She told the local paper, "He's always been an extraordinary child. Just different. He really loved to go to church and worship God."

The Rev. L.L. Brown Sr., who has led the White Hall church for more than 40 years, said of Meadows, "I've met a lot of preachers, but he stands out to me."

"I thank God for this young man," the reverend added.

Meadows' mentor and pastor of the past seven years, the Rev. Ezekiel Pettway Sr. of Maggie Street Missionary Baptist Church in Montgomery, called it a blessing to be "used by God at such a young age." He added that he "always knew there was greatness" in the teen minister.

The teen pastor, who has excelled at public speaking throughout his academic career, is studying marketing full time at the University of Montevallo, where he is president of the Student Government Association.

Meadows travels regularly to speak at various churches in Alabama as well as across the nation, recently making a stop at Riva Tims' Majestic Life Church in Orlando, Fla. In addition to his speaking engagements, new pastoral role and serving as leader of his university's student government, the young minister is also the National Youth Director for the The Southern Youth Leadership Development Institute.
"Although anointed by God while in the womb of his mother, Pastor Meadows affirmed his call to the Evangelistic Ministry at age six and has since devoted his life to empowering mankind through the gospel of the Kingdom of God," reads the teen's biography.

During his installation ceremony, Meadows thanked the First Missionary Baptist Church congregation for "taking a risk" on him as their new pastor. The church's former pastor, Meadows' mentor as well as the church's board of deacons and trustees were expected to help guide the young minister.

Meadows' story might bring to mind that of another young preacher who attracted national attention when he was featured on ABC News in 2012. Ezekiel Stoddard, 12 years old and ordained as minister at his parents' independent Fullness of Time Church in Capitol Heights, Md., has spoken clearly of the moment he believes he was called by God to preach the Gospel.

"When I was about 7-years-old God spoke to me. He was saying, 'Son, I want you to do my will. I want you to preach the Gospel,'" Stoddard has said. "I can't describe what the voice sounded like but it was the voice from God because when that Man comes by and tells you to write a sermon, an eight-page sermon? He'll give you everything."

   A vocation of pastor is to preach the word of God to the whole world. Starting sacred vocation in young age is so remarkable thing, and it is a very honored job that used by God.    

   However, people cannot understand the whole word of Bible by their own power. Realizing the true meaning of Bible can be possible by being with the Holy Spirit, the Counselor.

 * but God has revealed it to us by his Spirit. The Spirit searches all things, even the deep things of God.  – 1Co 2:10

   We cannot understand God’s will without the Holy Spirit even though a preaching is so excellent.  

  Then, who is the pastor that preaches the word of truth and is being with the Holy Spirit? The proof is that the promised pastor testifies the prophecies and its fulfillments which no one in heaven and earth could open or solve (Rev 5: 3).

One important thing we should remind is that there is the promised pastor who preaches the word of truth, prophecies and fulfillments in Shincheonji. This means that Shincheonji is the right place to find out the word of truth.

 I hope that you come to Shincheonji and listen to the word of truth. You can be a real believer loved by God.
