The development of #Christianity as the predominant faith in #SouthKorea is a story of war, pride, and hope.

Europeans: *Doesn't bring Christianity directly to Korea*

Koreans: Fine, I'll do it myself

Interesting to learn that Korean Christianity's population emphasis was in the North before the split

Jerusalem of the east?

As a korean, I would like to add sth. Since korea still practice conscription policy, currently 95% of every male population should go through military service. In boots camp, military give only three options for religion activity. Since meals in boots camp is awful and they intentionally regulate all kind of sugar. but if you attend church, church offers you free snacks, which is only opportunity to get some free time and suger, everyone voluntarily rush to church and chapel....churches in boots camp are massive and you guys really should watch how magnificent that thousand of troops just lining up on church to get some bits of sugar. Military really plays major roll on spreading Christianity.

Korea: Let's suppress Christianity to get rid of it!
Italy: First time?
EDIT: Thanks for 1k and uh... whatever it is you're doing in the replies.

Christianity is not alien to Korea. Christianity is for everyone, no matter where you live

South Korea loves Christianity the U.S helped a lot when it comes to this. Christianity is born from love and the death of martyrs. It never attacks it just grows because it is the truth! Catholics, Orthodox and Protestants are all christian brothers.

My story begins like this, I see the Lord's hand from the time of my conception in my life, My Mom wanted to abort me, I was saved due to the efforts of a Doctor who is a Catholic Nun, All my childhood memories are flooded with how I searched for God, I was very much involved in all religious activities but I still did not have the real peace in his heart. I often wondered, “After all these religious ceremonies which I am performing every day, am I in right relationship with God? Is he drawing closer to me? My earliest encounter with Christ was big image of the Sacred Heart, I always felt called by Him, During classes and even at break I used to look at Him, the day His eyes met mine, He never left me, I still was a stauch Hindu, I wanted to overcome my karma by performing devotional rituals, but fear of death and reincarnation had overcome me, the words of Christ to Martha has set me free " I am the Resurrection", I followed Jesus right from I was 11, I was hated by my family and relatives for my faith in Him, but the Lord was gracious enough to take me into His fold when I was 16, I was baptized along with my Mom and maternal Grandmother into the  Church. Jesus my Savior, my King my all in all changed my life, there is no meaning to life without Him.

Pyongyang used to be the "Jerusalem of the East" then it became "Little Beijing."
Seoul became the "New Jerusalem of the East" which is quite weird.

The real code of Christianity is to obey Jesus in all He taught in the 4 gospels, including forsaking all in the start. Luke 9, 11, 12, 14, 18. Matthew 7.
