Shincheonji Church of Jesus' Position on CBS Report

Shincheonji Church of Jesus' Position on CBS Report



The CBS Nocut News report titled "Shincheonji Lobbied to Cover Up 'Hundreds of Billions Won' Tax Evasion Assessment... Contacted Everyone from 'Tax Tribunal' to 'District Prosecutor'" published on 13 August 2025, is completely false and constitutes serious misinformation that failed to undergo even the most basic fact-checking procedures.


Shincheonji Church of Jesus clearly states that the aforementioned report is based on distorted claims without factual verification, and hereby expresses its position as follows:


1. During the COVID-19 period, the National Tax Service conducted a large-scale special tax audit for approximately six months, resulting in the assessment of approximately 40 billion won in taxes. This matter is currently under litigation following proper legal procedures, and CBS's reporting content constitutes false claims that do not correspond whatsoever to the actual investigation and its results.


2. This church has never engaged in any form of lobbying related to the tax investigation. All responses were conducted solely through legal procedures via attorneys, and there were no illegal or unethical acts whatsoever. 


3. The statements by the late former general affairs manager Mr. Ko, which CBS presented as evidence of lobbying activities, are nothing more than unfounded personal boasting. He was incarcerated at a detention center during the tax investigation period and was unable to actually perform any duties. Transforming such unverified personal statements into actions attributed to the entire church constitutes a serious violation of journalistic ethics. 


4. This report has maligned the church and its members through sensational language and distorted framing without undergoing even the most basic fact-checking procedures. This constitutes a serious violation of religious freedom and the dignity of believers, and this church will take all measures including strong legal action.


Shincheonji Church of Jesus will continue to carry out God's work with truth and sincerity, and will hold accountable to the end those responsible for irresponsible reporting that distorts facts.

    The media should focus on fair reporting grounded in truth rather than sensational narratives. #ShincheonjiChurch

The Prophecies and Physical Fulfillment of Revelation

The Prophecies and Physical Fulfillment of Revelation Although the book of Revelation was written approximately 2,000 years ago, no one in heaven or on earth knew its true meaning. Instead, the world has been filled with false shepherds who testify lies from their own imagination. Why has the true meaning of Revelation remained unknown? The reason is that God sealed the book with seven seals and kept it hidden. However, today, Jesus took the sealed book, opened all seven seals, and fulfilled all its prophecies. He then gave the opened book to one person (the promised shepherd) to eat (Revelation 10), showing him the fulfillment of its prophecies and commanding him to testify what he has seen and heard to the churches (Revelation 22:8, 16). As instructed, the shepherd who witnessed all the events recorded in Revelation is now proclaiming both the revealed word and the physical fulfillment that he saw and heard to the churches as stated in Revelation 10:11 "You must prophesy again a...

The Promised Pastor of the Old and New Testaments

The Promised Pastor of the Old and New Testaments   The promised pastor of the Old Testament was Jesus (Ez 3, Mt 15:24), and the promised pastor of the New Testament is New John (Rv 22:8, 16). God promised about them in advance and said to see and believe when they appeared as promised.  The promised pastor of the Old Testament received and ate the opened scroll in Ez 3 then went and preached it to the rebellious people, the Jews. The promised pastor of the New Testament received and ate the opened book in Rv 10, saw all of events of the entire book of Revelation (Rv 22:8), and went and preached it to the rebellious Spiritual Israel (Rv 22:16).  Revelation is the new covenant to be fulfilled today, and it says that if one adds to or subtracts from this, then he cannot enter the kingdom of heaven, but will receive curses (plagues) (Rv 22:18-19). However, all of the pastors of the Protestant Church and their congregation members have added to and subtracted from Revelation....
