Thank you for sharing. The biggest red flag for me was them saying the whole thing of “people will say that this is a cult”. In my head I asked why though? I’ve never gone to Bible study and my parents say it’s a cult so it was a random thing to hear. I researched cults immediately and said nah I’m out. By God’s grace I hadn’t been there long enough to learn the stuff you guys did, it’s news to me because I ran just as quickly as I walked in.

I am so glad you all are doing this sis. I’m apart of Shimcheonji now. I’ve known it was a cult (they don’t know I know) for a while but God has not allowed me to leave simply to learn and bring others out with me. I now do one on ones with the teacher because I’ve been removed out of the class after being in it for 9 months. I pray that soon I’ll be able to bring people out of here by the power of God.

Thank you so much for sharing your stories Mahle & Jess! It's been so helpful! I came across your content when I was researching the SCJ after being approached by one of their members in Joburg earlier this year. I didn't know about it before. I shared your video with them after declining to proceed with their Bible study to warn them to leave the cult. Fortunately I only attended one Bible study & I immediately knew something was off. Then last weekend I was approached by three SCJ girls trying to evangelise to me in the same mall in Joburg but I ended up evangelising to them this time with the truth of the Word of God & warned them about the cult they're in. I urged them to do more research about SCJ & to question things & to read the Bible for themselves. Please pray that God opens their eyes & leads them out of that cult & to know Him, the one true God & Jesus Christ Who saves.

Someone reached out to me on Instagram , then joined the small class , I moved to the bigger class and had to repeat it because “we weren’t perceiving” only to find out who they are 3 years later! I’m super shocked at the amount of deception that goes on and I thank God I didn’t fall for most of their manipulation because I left immediately they started taking about man he lee. Pray for me because now I need to get rid of the things they taught me as I’m now able to see the discrepancies and misalignment with the bible. The whole time I didn’t know they didn’t believe in the trinity until I asked after watching a few videos and the teacher started talking about 7 spirits instead of answering my question 🙄

My question is, once the theology started unveiling itself why didn’t it click, why didn’t you double check it against scripture in context like Acts 17 Bereans? Like what do they believe about the nature and deity of Christ? The trinity. The second covenant and how God no longer reveals himself to through a singular prophet (which was only to Isreal not the whole world)? Were these not questions you asked?
@questionsaboutscj9664 Жыл бұрын
That's the thing, the group does actually "check against scripture", and often cult members have a better, more thorough, understanding of their theology than the average Christian. There have been studies that consistently show how most Christians do not have a basic understanding of their own Christian doctrine, often misunderstanding / not correctly identifying key tenants of the Trinity for example and getting it confused with Modalism, or not understanding the Pre-existence from Christ. Then, here comes a group that can back their claims with scripture (whether its the Jehovah's Witnesses or Shincheonji), and sweeps them away.

Hi my dear sister. It's not good to keep those documents anymore. Yes you are attached to them as you have worked hard on them. Infact that was the plan of the enemy from the first place to work hard thinking you were actually working for God to bind and enslave you. But thank God He set you free. You have got to burn those documents. Remember anything written down is a prayer or a decree. That is why some people write letters to God and He answers them without them saying a word. Even having a bible in the house is prayer and declaration. You still having those papers or documents can bring strongholds or forces in. Have this in mind that those inscriptions on those documents have destroyed a lot of people and still do. You have got to hate them more than you love the hard work you have put up. Break that attachment let go and let God. Much love.

The term cult has been skewed by hollywood and media, it is not people in dark clothing making sacrifices at midnight, but that may be an example of a cult. A cult in a religious sense, is a religious sense has fringe beliefs and practices which steer away from more orthodox practices and beliefs. For example, Jesus was seen as a cult to the Jews. Cult in a non-religious sense is usually a hierachical system which uses many methods of control and manipulation, having it's members turn to it's leader/s and, or doctrine for authority and answers in life. Best look up the BITE model for a start.
