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 Blood and Flesh of the Lamb on Passover Night

The Blood and Flesh of the Lamb on Passover Night   On the Passover night during Moses' time, those who ate the flesh of the lamb and put its blood on their doorframes were saved. However, those who did not eat the flesh of the lamb and put its blood on their doorframes had angels enter their homes, killing the firstborn of both people and animals (Exodus 12). In his first coming, Jesus declared that he was the living bread that came down from heaven and that those who eat his flesh and drink his blood will have eternal life (John 6). This was likening himself to the Passover lamb, calling his words of life the blood and flesh of the lamb. Furthermore, on the Passover night, Jesus established the new covenant, saying, “I will not drink again of the fruit of the vine until the kingdom of God comes” (Luke 22:14-20). Do you understand the meaning of these words and the kingdom of God? Not everyone who says, “Lord, Lord,” will be saved, but only those who do the will of the Fathe...
