🧐 1. Same God, Same Faith… But Very Different Interpretations?
Let’s be real — Catholic, Protestant, and Shincheonji believers all say they worship one God and have the same hope: eternal life in heaven 🙏.
But there’s one big thing that sets them apart: how they interpret the Bible, especially the Book of Revelation.
Shincheonji Church believes they’ve fully mastered Revelation through the teachings of God and Jesus, claiming that their understanding is the truth. On the other hand, they say that Catholic and Protestant churches have added or taken away from the Word, especially Revelation, which violates the warning in Revelation 22:18–19.
What does that verse say? It clearly warns that anyone who adds or subtracts from the Book of Revelation will not enter heaven and will receive plagues. 😨 That’s a pretty serious consequence.
📖 2. The “Truth Test” That No One Accepted
Here’s something interesting 👉 Shincheonji once challenged Catholic and Protestant churches to a public Bible test based only on the Book of Revelation.
But guess what? No one showed up.
Not even one person accepted the challenge. 🤷♂️
Shincheonji Church took that as a sign that others weren’t confident in their interpretation — and so, by default, they believe they won.
They say, “If you can’t prove your interpretation publicly, maybe you’ve been teaching the wrong thing all along?”
They ask a deep question:
If Revelation says those who add or subtract cannot enter heaven, then who’s really the heretic?
The one keeping the book exactly as it is — or the one changing it? 🤔
✝️ 3. Jesus Was Called a Heretic Too
Let’s rewind to 2,000 years ago.
Back then, the religious leaders in Jerusalem called Jesus a heretic too! 😮
Why? Because His teachings didn’t fit their traditions. But Jesus was actually the truth.
Now, Shincheonji Church says the same pattern is repeating today.
Catholic and Protestant pastors are calling Shincheonji a heresy — but Shincheonji says, just like Jesus, they are being falsely accused for speaking truth. 🙌
And they come back to the Bible: Revelation says if you add or take away, you’ll face curses and won’t enter heaven.
So, if traditional churches changed the Word — aren’t they the ones going against God?
🕊️ 4. Who Really Enters Heaven?
Let’s be honest — heaven isn’t given based on tradition or denomination.
The Bible says in Revelation 22: only those who keep the Word exactly as it is will enter. That means truth matters. Accuracy matters. Integrity matters. 💯
Shincheonji Church believes they have not added or taken away a single word, and that they’ve overcome falsehood with the truth. They call themselves God’s family, not because of pride, but because of their faithfulness to Scripture.
They say: “If you really care about salvation, stop lying. Tell the truth. Let’s speak according to the Bible, not opinions.” 🕊️💬
💬 Final Thoughts
It all boils down to this — if the Bible is our guide to heaven, we need to follow exactly what it says.
Not tradition. Not emotion. Just the truth.
Who is teaching the Word correctly? That’s the real question every believer should ask. 🧭💡
