Statement from Shincheonji Church of Jesus on the Court's Dismissal of Chairman Lee Man-hee's Request for Review of the Legality of Detention

[Statement from Shincheonji Church of Jesus on the Court's Dismissal of Chairman Lee Man-hee's Request for Review of the Legality of Detention]




Shincheonji Church of Jesus expresses deep regret over the court's decision on 28 June to dismiss Chairman Lee Man-hee's request for a review of the legality of his detention, which had been filed on the grounds that there was neither any risk of the destruction of evidence nor any risk of flight, and in light of his advanced age of 95.


As all relevant materials have already been secured through extensive searches and seizures, leaving no risk of the destruction of evidence or flight, it is deeply regrettable that the detention has nevertheless been maintained.


In particular, subjecting a 95-year-old individual to detention during the investigation is an unduly harsh measure that threatens his life and health and seriously infringes upon his constitutional right to a defense.


As the question of detention does not determine guilt or innocence, the church will continue to establish the facts and clearly ascertain the substantive truth through the legal proceedings ahead.


We respectfully ask members of the press to refrain from speculation until the court reaches its final judgment, to uphold the principle of the presumption of innocence, and to report objectively and in a balanced manner based on the facts.

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...
