2 Thessalonians and the Man of Lawlessness: Is Lee Man-Hee Fulfilling Prophecy?

In this episode, Chris and Crystal — both former members of Shincheonji (SCJ) — begin a new series critically examining SCJ’s core doctrine of Betrayal, Destruction, and Salvation, starting with their interpretation of 2 Thessalonians 2. They explore how SCJ claims mainstream Christianity has fallen into apostasy, how Lee Man-Hee positions himself as the “Promised Pastor,” and how SCJ alleges that John the Baptist betrayed Jesus. Chris and Crystal highlight doctrinal inconsistencies, failed prophetic timelines, and the irony that SCJ’s teachings actually fulfill Paul’s warning about false teachers who exalt themselves in God’s temple. They also examine SCJ’s evolving fulfillment narratives, their reinterpretation of Revelation, and the theological danger of adding to the gospel.

🔔 Subscribe for future episodes where they’ll further unpack Shincheonji’s claims, including the controversial teaching about John the Baptist’s “betrayal.”
