[Ask Anything: Shincheonji Q&A] Eternal Life

Why does Shincheonji claim that there is eternal life?

Eternal life is not what Shincheonji claims.

Eternal life is what God promised.

It is the core of religion and the purpose of recording the Bible.

One of the things that Jesus argued with the religious leaders of that time about was eternal life.

47. He who belongs to God hears what God says. The reason you do not hear is that you do not belong to God."

48. The Jews answered him, "Aren't we right in saying that you are a Samaritan and demon-possessed?"

49. "I am not possessed by a demon," said Jesus, "but I honor my Father and you dishonor me.

50. I am not seeking glory for myself; but there is one who seeks it, and he is the judge.

51. I tell you the truth, if anyone keeps my word, he will never see death."

52. At this the Jews exclaimed, "Now we know that you are demon-possessed! Abraham died and so did the prophets, yet you say that if anyone keeps your word, he will never taste death.

53. Are you greater than our father Abraham? He died, and so did the prophets. Who do you think you are?"

54. Jesus replied, "If I glorify myself, my glory means nothing. My Father, whom you claim as your God, is the one who glorifies me.

55. Though you do not know him, I know him. If I said I did not, I would be a liar like you, but I do know him and keep his word.

God created heaven and earth, then He made man in his image.

But God's offspring, Adam, ate from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil and became a sinner.

As a result, God, who is life, left and death came to humanity.

When our sins are resolved, the God of life will come back to us people and dwell with us.

Then our lifespan will be lengthened again.

People became flsh due to sin.

Then how can we be changed into God's image and have eternal life?

In the state we are now in,

we cannot have eternal life.

We must be born again of imperishable seed, which is God's word and spirit.

3. In reply Jesus declared, "I tell you the truth, no one can see the kingdom of God unless he is born again."

5. Jesus answered, "I tell you the truth, no one can enter the kingdom of God unless he is born of water and the Spirit.

For example, a silkworm egg, which is like a small seed, grows by eating only mulberry leaves, builds its own house, and turns into a pupa. After three days, it becomes a butterfly and achives its purpose of flying. In the same way, if we start with God's seed, grow by eating only the leaves of truth and turn into God's image and likeness, we can then achive the purpose of eternal life.

Shincheonji believes in eternal life that God promised in the Bible and is making effort to earn it.
