[Shincheonji Church SkyPod] Why Was Jesus Called the Greatest Heretic 2,000 Years Ago? – Part 1

April 19, 2025


Do you know who the four great sages of the world are? They are said to be Jesus, Buddha, Confucius, and Socrates.
Among them, Jesus is believed by many religious people today to be the Son of God, and His teachings are recorded in the New Testament, forming the core of Christian faith.
But did you know that 2,000 years ago, Jesus was considered the greatest heretic and cult leader of His time?
In the recent Shincheonji Church "SkyPot" broadcast, the program focused on the words of Jesus that caused great controversy among the Jews at that time.
Let’s take a look at what made His words so controversial, and what their true meaning was.


The True Meaning of “Eat My Flesh and Drink My Blood”


Imagine someone telling you to eat their flesh and drink their blood. They’d surely be considered insane, right?
Surprisingly, that’s exactly what is written in the Bible—in John chapter 6.


[54] Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise them up at the last day. [55] For my flesh is real food and my blood is real drink. 
– John 6:54-55 NIV



[51] I am the living bread that came down from heaven. Whoever eats this bread will live forever. This bread is my flesh, which I will give for the life of the world.”
– John 6:51 NIV


This teaching was extremely difficult to accept—not just for Jews 2,000 years ago, but even for people today.
It’s recorded that even many of Jesus’ disciples turned away and no longer followed Him after hearing this.
So what did Jesus truly mean when He said this?
The answer is found in John 6:63:


[63] The Spirit gives life; the flesh counts for nothing. The words I have spoken to you—they are full of the Spirit and life. 
– John 6:63 NIV


Jesus was referring to spiritual food that gives life to our souls.


The Message Spiritual Food Gives Us


Just as the body needs physical food to survive, the spirit needs spiritual food—God’s Word—to live.
However, to the Jews of that time, this was a radical idea. They were focused only on physical comfort, but Jesus came to give them spiritual nourishment.
Because He expressed this through the metaphor of eating His flesh and drinking His blood, many misunderstood Him.
We must consider how this applies to us today, in the era of the Second Coming.
Jesus promised to give the Passover meal once again at His return—His flesh and blood, symbolized through bread and wine.
In Revelation, it is also written that through His blood, a kingdom and priests would be freed from sin


[16] For I tell you, I will not eat it again until it finds fulfillment in the kingdom of God.”
[18] For I tell you I will not drink again from the fruit of the vine until the kingdom of God comes.” [19] And he took bread, gave thanks and broke it, and gave it to them, saying, “This is my body given for you; do this in remembrance of me.” 
– Luke 22:16, 18-19 NIV



[9] And they sang a new song, saying: “You are worthy to take the scroll and to open its seals, because you were slain, and with your blood you purchased for God persons from every tribe and language and people and nation. [10] You have made them to be a kingdom and priests to serve our God, and they will reign on the earth.”
– Revelation 5:9-10 NIV


Dear believers living in the era of the fulfillment of the New Testament, let us not repeat the same mistake as the Jews at the First Coming by misunderstanding the true meaning of Jesus’ words.
Have we possibly misunderstood the bread and wine of communion as the true Passover?
Have we mistaken Jesus’ physical blood shed 2,000 years ago as the final act of atonement?
You can rewatch the HeavenPod radio broadcast on YouTube anytime.
I hope you come to understand the true meaning of Jesus’ flesh and blood—and become a true believer in this era.

[Shincheonji Graduation Ceremony] Graduates who have found the direction and purpose of life with less anxiety and emptiness due to Bible study.

 Hello, I'm greenteawannabe. Recently, one of the corrected relatives has been hospitalized after a major accident. Don't give up on life history, and it seems that life is something that healthy people don't know what will happen later on. I think a person's values are shaped by his or her attitude toward death. I think this is especially true when I hear about the accidents and wealth of healthy people around me. Most people choose to play and eat today even if they die tomorrow because there is only one life anyway, and death is inevitable. Even in the 15th chapter of the classic, the Apostle Paul also said that if the Bible's promise is not fulfilled, none of the people are more pitiful than us, and it is better to eat and play. (1 Cor 15:19, 32) Then, what about the view of life of believers who learned the Bible? This year, the Zion Mission Center surveyed about 1,000 of the graduates who took the Bible for six months and participated in the 116th graduation c...

[Special Lecture on the Revelation of the World Invitation of Shincheonji church] As many as 521 world religious leaders will gather at the factual evidence debate.

Hello, I'm greenteawannabe. On October 30, about 500 free religious leaders from 61 countries gathered in our country to discuss the actual evidence. What is it that religious leaders of different denominations and sects, not their own scriptures, have come together for the Book of Revelation? The purpose of this meeting is to reduce conflict and promote dialogue among different religions, sects, and denominations. But why is it the Book of Revelation? The reason is that by learning and discussing the meaning and reality of the Revelation, the core of the Christian Bible, we can confirm how God's will is done to the global community and ultimately find the answer to peace by expanding the understanding between religions. That is why the number of religious leaders attending gradually increased as the program progressed, and on October 30th, it became a large-scale event attended by as many as 521 people. When I watched this program, I saw someone dressed as a monk or someone we...

[Shincheonji's Peter tribes] The church will discover the talents of teenagers? The 2nd Peter Heavenly Culture Academy ended successfully!

Hello, I'm greenteawannabe. Do you remember the fact that the Peter Heavenly Culture Academy was held last July? On the 24th, the 2nd Heavenly Culture Academy was successfully completed. I spent time playing games and playing entertainment during my school vacation, but what time did the students participate in this Heavenly Culture Academy spend during that time? If I were to say this Heavenly Culture Academy in one sentence, it can be said that it is a time to discover one's own possibilities. The second phase of the Heavenly Culture Academy consisted of 9 classes for children and 22 classes for students, and about 400 students had a satisfactory month. I thought that it was a great merit that I could learn coding in my adolescence, which I could learn only when I was a college student. I'm looking forward to what various and rich programs Peter Heavenly Culture Academy will prepare for the third term of next year, which has given teenagers a varie...

[Shincheonji Magazine] Original values favored by Koreans lead to MOU achievements with over 900 domestic churches for sharing the Word.

Hello, this is greenteawannabe. It seems Koreans have a particular fondness for the original. For example, restaurant signs often promote the authentic taste with terms like “original” or “main branch.”  Additionally, products emphasizing authenticity, like luxury brands, are very popular in Korea. Why do Koreans love the original? One reason is that Koreans value sincerity. Even though society has become harsher than before, Koreans still look for and recognize genuine sincerity in others. Looking back on 2025 for Shincheonji Church, this year saw an unusually high number of pastors participating in events like the Word Grand Assembly and frequently interacting with Shincheonji Church. As a result, approximately 900 churches domestically (*Note: approximately 14,000 overseas) signed MOUs for word exchange. Through the 2025 Magazine, we will examine the sincere words of Chairman Lee Man-hee, who conducted four Word Grand Assemblies this year. ​ The Shincheonji Church held a remarka...
