[단독] Texts sprinkled by Antioch Church after Michael Jo preached “homosexuality in school…”

It was confirmed that the Gwangju Antioch Church sent a text message to the believers in June last year, emphasizing the need for the International School of the IM Mission. At the time, it was just after Michael Jo, the CEO of I.M. Mission, visited Antioch Church to give a publicity sermon for international and after-school schools.

In fact, afterwards, Antioch Church established an after-school school with I.M. Mission, and in the case of an associate pastor, he sent his son to another church and an international school created by I.M. Mission, and both were confirmed. It seems that both Representative Cho and the Antioch Church are inevitable in that they hosted and implemented a sermon promoting group facilities during the corona 19 quarantine period.

<오마이뉴스>Received the contents of a mobile messenger text message at the time “sent by a church elder” from a person who attended Antioch Church in the past.

Through the text message, the church said, “Antioch Church should establish an international school, but today I will briefly summarize what Missionary Michael Jo, who is leading the international school, rather than the (Bible) Word.” Subsequently, a statement of hate for LGBTI people with the content of’the problem at hand’ followed.

The reality of Korean society
-Mayor Park Won-soon: Let’s make Asia’s first homosexuality (legalization of same-sex marriage, reporter’s note)
-World’s No. 1 abortion and suicide rate
-No. 1 in the world for pedestrian and child traffic accidents
-About 2 million homosexuals
-Anti-discrimination Act (cannot be evangelized)

School education problems
-The theory of evolution is to learn homosexuality as well (Seoul National National University of Education ○○○ teacher: He submitted his resignation because he could not teach homosexuality and is currently working at an international school)
-Proper personality guidance cannot be provided (ethics and morals disappear and individualism is prevalent, consistent education ignoring individuality and diversity, and knowledge transfer education dependent on private education)
-Not having the goal of life right away (knowledge-oriented rather than finding the characteristics of each person)

The following text message contained the contents of’the problem of church growth’. The church side said, “(The Korean church) was a country that showed the fastest growth, but unfortunately, it became the country that collapsed the fastest.” “The church itself has decreased (the number of members), and the (Christians) have been taken away by heretical religions including Shincheonji.”

The conclusion was that “international schools are an alternative to the next generation.” The church argued, “(In international schools), school education is sure to give you a clear sense of faith.” did.

The informant who sent this text message said, “I have often heard stories that this church is trying to kill the church by using Corona 19.” “While the whole people suffered from Corona 19, I was angry at the church promoting and encouraging group facilities. Has risen,” he said.

Just before this text message came, CEO Michael Jo visited Antioch Church and encouraged participation by promoting facilities such as the international school and after-school school he operated (related article: [단독] “Teaching Better Than Hagwon, 2.5 million won” Michael Jo’s suspicious sermon http://omn.kr/1rvgv). Since then, Antioch Church has set up an after-school school Antioch Trinity CAS with I.M. Missions, and was recently running.

According to the Central Defense Countermeasure Headquarters on the 28th, the number of corona19 confirmed cases related to the IM Mission was counted nationwide to 340. The number increases even more if some of the churches involved are confirmed.

In the case of Gwangju, there are 157 confirmed cases of international school and 35 cases of Antioch Church. The assistant pastor of Antioch Church, who was confirmed with Gwangju No. 1652, also sent a child (confirmed No. 1639 in Gwangju) to Gwangju TCS International School. This church is a large church with up to 1,500 members, and the quarantine authorities are concerned about large-scale spread.

Gwangju Metropolitan City set up a screening clinic in the parking lot of Antioch Church on the 28th and informed about 550 attendees of the worship service on Sunday (24th) to undergo examination. However, the cooperation of churches and believers is slow. Gwangju Metropolitan City said, “I hope to have a test at the Seo-gu health center by 10 pm today,” and said, “We will take strong legal measures such as forcibly securing a list of members who have not been tested until today.”

Inside and outside of the Antioch Church, there are voices saying that they are intentionally avoiding quarantine. In fact, the church was the only place in Gwangju to conduct face-to-face worship in violation of the guidelines of the quarantine authorities during the second spread of Corona 19 in August last year. Senior Pastor Park Young-woo also argued in a sermon at the time that “The Jusaka regime told me to close the church door” (Related article: Pastor Gwangju who eventually closed the face-to-face service “The Jusaka was trying to kill the church… This city is armored” http://omn .kr/1otdo).

On this day, at the screening clinic, a man spoke similar words and made abusive words and swear words. The man who appeared at the scene this morning shouted, “Do you know that Moon Jae-in is from North Korea. Why should I undergo corona testing?”

He added, “If I do anything, it’s all because of the church. Moon Jae-in is trying to kill the church. I’m also riding the subway, why do I get corona. How do I know if I got caught in a church or a restaurant?” When the medical staff asked him to wear a mask over his chin, the man raised his voice, saying, “What are you, are you commanding me? Where are you training me?”
