Many Christian groups and cult groups are highly Korea-centric, basing their beliefs around the idea that the country and Koreans themselves are somehow favored by God or otherwise special.
Because they believe the new messiah is a Korean, the new revelation is written in Korean, the new nation (of people) who are going to be saved – 144,000 people – are Koreans, or the kingdom of God will be established in Korea, they have many many Korean followers
Korean culture is a Satanic culture
Korean Christian parents claim to serve Jesus Christ.
However, the sad reality is that Korean parents set themselves up as gods of their families.
Korean Christian parents receive the worship that only Jesus Christ should receive.
The Korean Christian church must repent.
Confucianism has melded with Christianity and the Christian Church in South Korea, rather than competing against it.
Ancestor Worship and Confucianism in Korea
Traditionally - in Korea - ancestor worship has not only been accepted and propagated as a culture, ancestor worship is also considered to be a good way to express filial piety. Korean people think that ancestor worship is a very important expression of filial piety.
Korean Confucianism is the form of Confucianism that emerged and developed in Korea. One of the most substantial influences in Korean intellectual history was the introduction of Confucian thought as part of the cultural influence from China. Today the legacy of Confucianism remains a fundamental part of Korean society, shaping the moral system, the way of life, social relations between older people and younger people. Korean Confucianism is the basis for much of the Korean legal system.
There are a lot of Confucian ideas and practices that still saturate South Korean culture and daily life. The strongest evidences of continuing Confucian influence can be found in South Korean family life. Confucian influence is seen in South Korea’s emphasis on family and group-oriented ways of living.
Teachings of South Korea's Christian Church
The teachings of South Korea's Christian Church regarding filial piety go above and beyond the Biblical teaching that children must honor their parents (Exodus 20:12; Deuteronomy 5:16; Ephesians 6:1-3; 1 Timothy 5:4).
South Korea's Christian Church teaches that children must be in absolute obedience to their parents. South Korea's Christian Church teaches absolute, unquestioning obedience to parents. South Korea's Christian Church teaches that parents have the absolute final authority in all matters with regard to their children, even if their children are fully grown adults.
Confucianism and Implications for the Korean Christian Church
Godly children are those who obey their parents without question. Any and all conflict is suppressed (and denied) in the Korean Christian Church. Parental authority and decisions that parents make are not open to question. Younger people must always obey older leaders at church.
Legalism in Korean churches
Part of my experience and a characteristic of the Korean Church is the strong legalistic culture and tendencies that still dominate many Korean churches today. A fair amount of Christians in the Korean American community are affected by this lack of knowing grace and a self-righteousness that blinds them to being effective in the world today. Self-righteousness makes Christians the poorest examples of their faith and worst enemy of the true Christian church
