1. Shincheonji: All about Shincheonji
Shincheonji Church of Jesus, also popularly known as the temple of the Tabernacle of the
Testimony, was established in the year 1984 in South Korea. The Church was established by
a South Korean man named Lee Man-hee, who is now in his 80s. Though Lee Man-hee
established the Shincheonji Church of Jesus, very little is known about his past. However, the
church describes Lee Man-hee as the “Promised Pastor,” as mentioned in the Bible. The
members of Shincheonji strongly believe that he is the one who will lead the chosen
shepherds into the kingdom of Heaven on Earth.
Shincheonji Church of Jesus has more than 1,000 churches in South Korea. The Church also
boasts of having more than 240,000 members worldwide. Thus, the group is, in effect, an
offshoot of Christianity. Shincheonji represents around 14-15% of the Christian population of
South Korea. One of the main aspects of Shincheonji is that their followers strongly believe
that Lee Man-hee is the second coming of Jesus Christ. However, not much is known about
their belief structure to the outside world. Shincheonji describes itself on its official website
as “the one and only kingdom and temple of God on this earth.” Their church is all about
pledging to yield to Jesus by sacrificing their bodies like a candle. One of the main ways
Shincheonji recruits members is by dispatching its members to mainstream Protestant
congregations. After that, they try to persuade the believers of the Protestant congregations to
join their Church. However, it is a tactic that has provoked many churches to issue warnings
to keep the members of Shincheonji at bay. Recently the sect’s lack of preventive measures to
stop the spread of coronavirus has attracted widespread criticism from the general public of
South Korea.
Shincheonji, despite having the name “Church of Jesus”’, claims that they do not have any
ties with other Christian groups. When you visit their official website, you will see on the
group’s introduction written, “We are not a traditional church that exists between the first
coming of Jesus and the coming of what’s prophesied in the book of Revelation.” The
members of Shincheonji believe that the founder Lee Man-hee is the man selected by Jesus to
disseminate the ultimate truth to all his shepherds. They are a group that is growing at a swift
pace and has thousands of members worldwide. Visit https://nhne.tv/ for more details.
