UBFism

UBFism is the new religion invented by Chang-Woo (Samuel) Lee and Sarah Barry in 1961. It is practiced exclusively by University Bible Fellowship. The religion has not been comprehensively documented or examined objectively except for here on this new Wiki. The religion has been passed on by oral tradition until now.

This new religion is a sort of hyper evangelicalism mixed with Buddhist and Confucian values, and bound by an ideology of sacrifice. UBFism is a shepherding system, where each member, called a sheep, has an appointed lifelong moral supervisor, called a shepherd. I have identified nine components of this religious system.

UBF Doctrine -- "hyper evangelical Christianized Confucianism"

UBF often appears to be a right-wing Evangelical Christian missionary sending organization from Korea, if you look at it from the outside only. This is simply a layer of holy paint covering a highly addictive and highly damaging new religion. Under the evangelical holy paint, you will discover extreme hyper-devotion to UBFism and its leaders which exceeds reason. You will also discover a corrupted Confucian value system. Confucius had much wisdom for the world, but UBF has combined these Eastern religious values with extreme Old Testament based Christian ideas to create a toxic religion that has a sweet, addictive taste.

UBF Dogma -- "kingdom of priests and holy nation" (KOPAHN)

Dogma is a principle or set of principles laid down by an authority as incontrovertibly true. UBF declares several principles as being unchangeable. Obedience training often ensues after a sheep or shepherd questions these dogmatic statements. I summarize the UBF dogma as "KOPAHN". They believe the whole of the Bible is contained in this idea that God is forming a new kingdom and a new nation, and that UBF is the sole agent of this new kingdom. They often parade world flags at their conferences. They claim their special UBF shepherd training is the best world-class training anyone can receive.
