What is the tree of life and what is the tree of the knowledge of good and evil? What do their branches, leaves, and fruit represent? What about the birds that come and perch in each tree?

Since God created religion, the founder of religion is God, not people. God used the hands of a few people to record his teachings in his book (i.e. the Bible). Thus, the Bible is divine scripture (2 Tm 3:16; 2 Pt 1:21). What was God’s purpose behind giving this divine scripture to people? Hosea 6:6 says, “For I delight in faithfulness, not simply in sacrifice; I delight in acknowledging God, not simply in whole burnt offerings.” Hence, God’s purpose in giving us the Bible was for us to know him, the only true God, by looking at his book.

Mrs. Kim was beaten to death by her ex-husband, Mr. Seo, for refusing to convert to the Presbyterian Church of Calvin. She was murdered in her home on October 7, 2007 in Ulsan, South Korea.

Before her death, she faithfully attended SCJ’s branch church in Ulsan. Prior to their divorce, Mr. Seo was deceived by a conversion education pastor, and together with Mrs. Kim’s family members, he repeatedly forced Mrs. Kim to receive conversion education. Against her will, Mrs. Kim received a few conversion programs in Suncheon, South Korea. In these programs, the pastors in charge tried to force their own doctrines on Mrs. Kim in the name “conversion education.” In fact, they can hardly be called “education” at all. The programs contained so many slanderous, personal attacks against SCJ’s chairman, that Mrs. Kim could hardly stand it. Still she listened to her ex-husband’s requests and listened to the education program. She wanted to obey her husband out of a sense of duty and to maintain peace within her family.
