Salvation is for sinners

Salvation is for sinners, not for the righteous. The expression, “salvation for the righteous,” is incorrect.

People who call Shinchonji Church of Jesus (SCJ) a cult are speaking nonsense just like John Calvin. It is so disconcerting when they use the expression, “salvation for the righteous.” They sound as arrogant as the devil. Jesus said, “Those who are healthy don’t need a physician, but those who are sick do. Go and learn what this saying means: ‘I want mercy and not sacrifice.’ For I did not come to call the righteous, but sinners,” (Mt 9:12-13).

The path of religion that leads to righteousness

The root of true religion is God, which means Christianity has its roots in the time of Adam. If we understand this, then Christianity has a 6,000 year history and can be considered the world’s oldest religion. The great number of arguments and incidents that have occurred over this long history indicates that both the true God and many false gods have been working and fighting one another within Christianity. These incidents have occurred because the false gods were working to interfere with God’s will (2 Thes 2:4), which is in the future of Christianity.
