Episode 186: Unmasking the Korean Cult of Shincheonji [Part 2] with Steve Matthews and Dr. Brady Blevins

<p>One hallmark of most any religious cult today is that there is no other way to God except through the cult leader and obedience to his deceitful doctrines and deceptive practices. Cult teachings and commands twist Scripture familiar to Christians and create a climate of fear and works-based salvation.<br><br>This week Brady Blevins, Senior Apologist at Watchman Fellowship and Steve Matthews, author of our 4-page Profile on the movement known as Shincheonji, continue their discussion about how this disciplined, doctrinally-deceptive, militant cult twists Scripture, infiltrates churches in the U.S. and how you can be prepared to respond with solid biblical truth. <br><br><strong>Steve Matthews</strong> is a countercult apologist who is not only passionate about researching the more established cults, but also in responding to the newer emerging groups as well. He has his M.A. in Christian Apologetics from Trinity International University and is involved in launching ExaminingTheCults.</p><p><br><strong>Related Links: </strong>Free access to additional resources including some related Watchman Fellowship Profiles:</p><ul> <li>Examining the Shincheonji Church:  <a href="https://www.examiningthescj.com/">ExaminingTheSCJ.com</a> </li> <li>Watchman Fellowship 4-page Profile on <strong>Shincheonji</strong> by Steve Matthews: <a href="https://www.watchman.org/ProfileSCJ">watchman.org/ProfileSCJ</a> </li> <li>Watchman Fellowship 4-page Profile on <strong>Shincheonji</strong> (in Korean) by Steve Matthews: <a href="https://www.watchman.org/SCJ_Korean">watchman.org/SCJ_Korean</a> </li> <li>Watchman Fellowship 4-page Profile on <strong>World Missionary Society Church of God</strong> by Steve Matthews: <a href="https://www.watchman.org/WMSCOG">watchman.org/WMSCOG</a> </li> <li>Watchman Fellowship 4-page Profile on <strong>International Christian Church (Kip McKean)</strong> by Steve Matthews: <a href="https://www.watchman.org/ICC">watchman.org/ICC</a> </li> <li>Watchman Fellowship 4-page Profile on <strong>Patterns
