The God who told us that he would come already has come to this world.

Brandon: Do you believe in God in Jeung San Do?

I: Of course. We believe in Jeung-san Sangjenim, the true God of the universe who came to this world as a human being.

Brandon: God who came to the earth as a human? It sounds a lot like he’s the Korean Jesus.

I: You’re completely wrong this time, Brandon. There’s something really important you should know. Jesus is not God the Father, but he is the Son who was sent by God the Father. The Father God and the Son are clearly different.
Brandon,

Brandon: That’s not how I learned. Besides, you can’t prove that Jesus isn’t God?

I: Did you learn about the Holy Trinity in church?

Brandon: Yeah. The Father, the Son and the Holy Ghost, or Holy Spirit. What about it?

I: That Holy Trinity wasn’t a part of Jesus’s original teaching.

Brandon: What?

I: See. In 325 AD, ‘the Council of Nicea’, a Christian council’s meeting, decided they would believe in the Holy Trinity. There were two sides, the Athanasian party claiming the equality of the Father and the Son, and the Arians who argued that the Father and the Son were not equal, and the divinity of the Son was lower than the Father’s. Eventually the Athanasians won and Arius’s claim was declared as a heresy, which created this formula of ‘father =(equals) son’.

Brandon: If this is true, why don’t they teach this in church?! All this time I’ve thought that Jesus Christ was the incarnation of God the Father.

I: Saint John said in the Book of Revelation. “I saw a great white throne and Him who sat on it.” Just like what St. John described, God the Father is God in the human form. He’s not a being that doesn’t have a shape or form.

Brandon: Wow, I feel so confused. You’re telling me that I've learned the wrong things.

I: Some parts of Christian theology obscured the truth about God. God is the ruling God who presides the universe by the principle of birth, growth, harvest and rest. He’s the highest ruler of the universe, and Korean people called him ‘Sangjenim’ from ancient times.

Brandon: Then what about Jesus?

I: He was a sage indeed, just like Shakyamuni and Confucius, and all of them had been sent to this world by Sangjenim. They came on a mission to edify peoples on earth, but they had to fail to give us a complete salvation. Just look at all the problems of the world today.

Brandon: So someone else will have to come again and deliver us.

I: Not ‘will have to come’, but ‘already came’. What does it say in the Bible? God said to St. John, “I am the Alpha and the Omega... who is, who was, and who is to come.” The God who told us that he would come already has come to this world. He is Jeung-san Sangjenim.
