New Sexual Revolution, but For God

Primeval act of adultery is at the root of all the myriad distortions of sexual love that have plagued humanity
from the beginning: prostitution, infidelity, rape, incest, fetishes, pornography and sexual addictions.

Even though sex is an intimate act between two adults, it greatly affects culture and the family.

Woodstock was the first liberation for Americans to break away from their parent's traditions such as man and woman marriages, sex only within marriage, one partner for life.

These were all confronted and challenged in order to free one's sexually which they believed religion and marriage placed rules upon.

If one is to look in history, they will see that this event had a negative effect not only on the family, but on the whole nation.  A nation that was built upon the Puritan faith and laws written based upon the Bible by men who proclaimed God as their Creator.

We are slowly declining as a powerful nation, not by outside forces, but by forces within the four walls of individual homes.

The loosening of morals did not bring our country freedom, but brought on enslavement to selfish desires, far from America's unselfish religious beliefs.


Self-Destructive World

Humanity developed corrupt ways of loving through the first family which passed it on to the tribe, society and world levels.

Therefore, civilizations have not correctly learned or understand true love is the dominant way of life.

In the Genesis story of Adam and Eve, the two brothers try to subjugate one another.  Instead of gaining power, prestige or property naturally with love, these therefore became prizes to be conquered by those who sacrificed others for themselves.

Self-centered love spawned a self-destructive world. This is the essence of hell.

Our world went from God's ideal of Heaven on Earth to one of anguish and suffering.

The misuse of love in the first family is the basis for all sexual abuse: prostitution, infidelity, rape, incest, fetishes, porn and sexual addictions.

Great nations have been brought down by the illusive power of romantic love and lust and is the basis for the tensions that break families apart.  This spreads to the community level and relentlessly works against any harmony in society.

Promiscuous sex leaves one lonely, disconnected, depletes their spirit and afflicts the heart and mind.



Establishing a New Tradition

The misuse of sexual love at the origin of human civilization has disconnected the true relationship between the mind and body, man and woman and God and humanity.

God brought about religion in order to teach His children to stop this destructive behavior through the power of His divine Wor; through teaching about sexual morality.

God's commandment to not eat the fruit was given to the first man.  This original word has been given time and again over history through diverse religions.




When men and women uphold and preserve chastity, they are safeguarding the universe.”


Rev. Sun Myung Moon

These toxic patterns of love today must be turned around.

To redeem sexuality and true love as an object of purity, God must reside with joy in each family and marriage bed.

This is the core reason Rev. Moon focuses on the blessing of marriage as a way to bring society back to true love and the lineage of God.

Some elements to practice to reverse the Fall, human nature one must dedicate their union to their Heavenly Parent, practice chastity, promise to live for family and humanity.

In the case of young people, they should consult their godly parents when selecting a mate.

The mythical story of Pandora related the last entity to come out of Pandora's box was Hope, which represented the womb.

This implies that through love between spouses it would bring the ultimate answer.

Christianity has a similar message of a promise of a Redeemer to be born from a pure, faithful woman who is the reverse of the first mother who misused her womb.

To restore God's original way of entering into marriage, we can educate the next generation with the matters of love, sex and how to prepare for marriage.

Even in this modern day of technology, God's eternal Word is still relevant to save His children who make up this world.



Purity and Preparation for Marriage

Traditionally, parents on the whole guided their children along a clear, defined path to meet a mate and get married.

Centuries ago in the West, parents arranged marriages while their children were still teenagers.

Not long ago people started dating in order to select their own mate for marriage.  In either case, singles were expected to wait for sex until after they married.  These traditions have been lost by the modern world.

People no longer date in order to find a mate to marry, but simply to have fun and find temporary companionship in a lonely world.

There are no clear-cut correct guidelines or rules that help steer couples directly to the altar.

Sex has become a casual expression that is no longer connected to marriage.  Adolescents indulge in sex at an earlier and earlier age.

Parenthood is no longer tied to marriage and the widespread use of birth control and abortions have severed sex from the ideal of parenthood as well.

The West has become a 'divorce culture' where young people are less confident to marry.  Adults now advocate that they have to get through their first marriage and anticipate a second one from the onset.

There is no longer a stigma attached to having sex outside of marriage.  Couples live together in place of marriage.

There are many powerful forces that conspire against young people preserving their virginity.  Media, societal pressures to date and live together make it hard for young people to believe that they can give their bodies and souls to one person for life.

No matter how humanity tries to change the dynamics of marriage, one person for life is imprinted in the heart and conscience by the Creator.

People may rationalize that they need to have sex freely with many people, not just one partner for life.

Still, those with a sexual past will feel the pangs of guilt or heartbreak after each encounter, or they numb these innate feelings with excess in alcohol or other activities.

Reverend Moon asked an audience what is the purpose of marriage? “It is in order to realize the purpose of (human) creation.”

In the modern, fast-paced world, people think that marriage is just a piece of paper or unnecessary because the divorce rate is so high.

Nothing in the world will satisfy one's yearning to live with honor and significance, to be loved unconditionally and give their children a secure union with their spouse even if they try to live otherwise.

Even the most liberal person still may find they are hurt when their teenage daughter comes home pregnant, or their child who can't overcome the heartbreak of their parent's divorce and so on.  Because God made society to be a certain way, we suffer when we go far from His original ideal world.


Desirable and Attainable?

To return to God's Will, youth and single people need to believe again in the value of purity and marriage.

They need to be sold on the beauty of reserving sex for marriage and why it is necessary.  They also need to see that they are capable of being successful in each enterprise and that they can follow the strict practices against the social norms.

One young woman sums up her sense of this when she writes, “It is sexuality dedicated to hope, to the future, to marital love, to children, and to God.”

When a young person can view matrimony as desirable, then saving sex for only marriage has meaning.

They must see it as an attainable goal that they can reach even in  society of second and third marriages are celebrated.

 Many adults do not leave a good impression of marriage to the next generation: “I want to be married, but most people I know have divorced or given up on it. I don’t know how I could do better.”

Therefore, they give up their virginity and dreams of a lasting marriage in exchange for a live-in lover as the closest commitment they think they can achieve for a long time.

Young and single people need to be taught how to be responsible regarding their strong sexual desires and how achieve the life purpose of marriage.

Lessons can be gleaned from family relationships to consider when and how to meet a godly mate, basic relationship insights and skills to inner qualities.


Education for Character, Abstinence and Marriage Preparation

When young people are ignorant about the realities of love and marriage, they are more susceptible to believe the myths about chastity and their capability to have a successful marriage.

Also, when one lacks social skills, it makes lasting love that much more an unattainable goal and makes sexual temptation that more difficult to resist.

Parents, teachers and pastors need to learn the right techniques to pass on to the single people they care for and also to enhance their own marriages and relationships.

To guide young people toward marriage and teach to guard their chastity is a multi-faceted endeavor which needs contributions from the family and community.

Young people do not have any help where traditional values in developed countries left them feeling a profound void in the love department. There has been a rise in education for character, sexual abstinence and recently  marriage and relationship education.

Character education has been a rising trend in many societies.

Elementary schools and universities, religious and non-religious settings alike, focus on moral growth of students and nurture emotional and social skills.

Some methods include ethics in the classroom teaching, creating a more caring school community, learning projects and using cooperative learning techniques.

Many see character education as a influence on society which promotes better relationships, including between the sexes.

Formal education about sexuality has been a growing trend worldwide.

The focus is moreso on the physical consequences of sexual relations; the primary purpose is not in support of purity.

Abstinence education has emerged to respond to the need to promote traditional values.  The emphasis is on reserving physical intimacy for marriage only.

Over the last 40 years, science learned what makes marriages succeed and fail.

These have evolved into programs which impart knowledge and skills that are complementary to the guidance which is offered in faith and family settings.

There are judges and clergy in certain cities that will only marry a couple who have received premarital education and counseling.

In the United States, several states and cities have mandated marriage education for all high school students.

Such courses concern personal enrichment are increasingly common on campuses as well.  Better communication skills and training one how to deal with conflict is the hallmark of such programs.

This post was rewritten and derived from the religious textbook, "Educating for True Love" written by a team of writers explaining Reverend Sun Myung Moon's philosophy on sex and marriage.

5 Myths About Sex Part II

We discussed the two myths of sex in the previous post, part 1 to the 5 Myths About Sex and debunked these wrongful ideas that can cause many immature and young people to indulge in the act with the wrong people and in situations and relationships which are not secure.

Now we continue the talk with the next three myths:


3. Is Sex a Natural Expression of Love?


The third flawed premise of sex is: Sex is a natural expression of love.
It is an instinct for those who indulge in romantic-based love to want to express this love through sex, even in no marital relations.

But, it is natural for true love to want the best for the one a person loves and the relationship.  In true love, one will avoid doing anything that will jeopardize either of these in any way, including refraining from delving into harmful activity.

People who love one another will sacrifice themselves to this end. 

The most authentic expression of love is to wait to pledge pleasurable sex and bonding which can have drawbacks only within the commitment of marriage.

When a man or woman anticipates opening such a precious gift from the one they love, they will be repelled by the idea of receiving something used by a prior lover.

It is not too late for those who have given away their virginity, they can recommit to their current or future loved one through a pledge of celibacy.

Would any woman really be so proud to accept an engagement ring that had been on the finger of five other girlfriends before her?

Most men would not take delight in having photos of their wife’s ex-husband laying around the house.

These expressions are an innate desire for exclusivity.

If people think that sex is a natural expression of love, then they should also believe that they should reserve this gift for one beloved who is special enough to be chosen as a lifetime mate.

Sex within Marriage Honors the Intrinsic Moral Aspects of Sexuality

4. Does Sex Promote Maturity?

The fourth falsehood is: Having sex only in marriage restricts growth and creates sexual inhibitions.

The sexual revolution brought on in the 60s made the idea that parents lived a stifling life confined within the walls of marriage and it was time to break through.

Many people can name a range of sexual experience and many partner as evidence that they have grown and  “exploring the farthest reaches of love and the self.”


Yet lifelong monogamy demands self-honesty and maturity than having an open relationship.  Yet, deeper adventures in loving will be experienced in a secure relationship.

When one invests in another person in such a way where they replenish and sustain a lasting love, is precisely the context that stretches every faculty and promotes the greatest personal growth.

It is too convenient for people to just run to a new partner instead of dealing with the deeper issues that real and enduring intimacy demands.

“It is easy to associate multiple sexual partners with personal change,” writes human potential philosopher George Leonard, but it is “far more likely to be associated with the avoidance of change.”


This may sound like a paradox, but one who continuously run from one relationship to the next before healing what is broken in the one before, will find they repeat the same patterns they experienced in the last relationship they tried to escape.

Physical intimacy within the love and commitment of marriage maintains the fundamental integrity of the body as an expression of the mind. It keeps the outer expression congruent with the deepest heart and conscience.

The body has its own symbolic language: a fist means hostility; a smile signifies good will. 

A misuse of the body’s language for example would be to use a smile to concel malice which would be deceptive.

In this same vein, sex between a couple represent the total union of their hearts, minds and lives.

Therefore, if sex is merely just to experience pleasure or an expression of warm feelings, then this would be considered a false message.

This kind of deceit goes against the moral maturity in a healthy relationship.

Finally, the issue of inhibitions is ironic.

Those who are involved in non-marital sex constantly speak of having performance anxiety, guilt, feeling cheap, fear of being compared to other partners, fear of unwanted pregnancy,  diseases and other experiences that complicate their sexual experience.

On the other hand, research shows that highly religious wives report the greatest number of orgasms.  This is a clear sign of freedom from neurotic inhibitions and guilt found in sex within an unsecure relationship.

Evidence shows that those who were virgins before getting married, had the greatest sexual satisfaction.

These married women have security within their marriage, trust and time to accommodate to their partners.

Those who are religious and waiting for sex within the bonds of marriage, find great meaning and freedom from the guilt that their faith provides.


5. Is Sex Liberating?


The fifth myth is: Having sex only within marriage oppresses women.


Some claim that ideals of purity and fidelity is only a piece of paper that protects men’s property rights over their women.

There is some truth to this exaggeration.  The thought that traditional morality is linked to male exploitation of women can be seen in history.

There has been a double standard for men and sex; chastity has almost universally been enforced for females but not for males.

Even though society says that women should stay pure, boys and men are free to indulge in free sex at the expense of girls and women.

Women pay the price fore any illicit liaisons through having a stigma attached to them or punishments such as having to endure pregnancies without the father.

Even though society view women differently in the context of sex, it is foolish to not follow the protective moral code for sexual ‘freedoms'.  It would be better just to clear this injustice to women.

It is unsafe for women to claim the ‘right’ to enjoy casual sex just to join the sexual ‘freedoms’ of men who exploit their partners and using sex for domination.

The timeless gold standard of sexual ethics—reserving sexual intimacy only for the spouse—recognizes the moral implications of sex and the deeper need for enduring love.

Women choose casual sex to stay equal to the wrongful lower standard for both genders than to succumb to the double standard placed upon women.

This means that women inherit men’s weakness, which separates the body from the true heart, and sex from responsibility and true love.

Despite popular belief, permissive sexual standards has not truly been liberating to women.

Females are now expected to want many sexual partners and males are expected to treat them as such.  Thus, women have denied their natural instinct of self-protection: Women are the ones who pay the heavy burden of the consequences of having sex outside a secure relationship.

Unwanted babies, and abortions and other liabilities plague only the women.  Even with the responsibility of contraception is placed mainly with the female.

Despite women being sexually independent and self-sufficient, they are still expected to still be feminine, soft, yielding and undemanding at the same time.

Because of this, women have to suppress their inclinations to be monogamous.  Research shows that even women who have sex outside of marriage, they desire less partners than their male counterparts.

It is almost universally the women partners who end up in the awkward position of trying to negotiate commitment in a sex-only relationship.

What is worse, that women play the part of wives by living together with a man.  They offer domestic services and sex without any emotional and material security which marriage provides.

Many women sadly play house with many partners and find out too late that time causes them to miss the experience of real marriage and motherhood.

After a certain age, finding a committed partnership becomes a more elusive goal for women while male peers often find younger, attractive women who are ready to marry them.

In addition, after age 28 or so, female fertility begins to decline rapidly.31 This is not the case for men.

In conclusion, these are the top myths about sex outside of a committed relationship is not freeing which have degraded not only many marriages, but also has brought society to a lower standard of love.

Return for Tomorrow’s Post: Sex Before Marriage Disrupts Growth of Heart, Character

This post was rewritten and derived from the religious textbook ‘Educating for True Love’ written by a team of writers explaining the philosophy of Reverend Sun Myung Moon.

The Starting Point of Love

At the beginning of this blog about 9 months ago, I brought up the notion of perfection.  Is it possible for one to be perfected?  Originally, God created Adam and Eve to reach perfection through full maturity before they consummated in the giving of their fruits of love.

Wouldn't an absolute, almighty being want to have an absolute, perfect being in which to have relations or a corrupted being?  Of course, if God had planned for humanity to live in the perfect world known as the Garden of Eden and had no other choice, but to throw us out after humanity's mistake, would He give up His dream and desire to fulfill the ideal of His creation?

I don't think God would give up.  Therefore, throughout history, God strives to bring humanity back to their original position before the Fall.  He brought religion, countless saints, and the Messiah to turn humanity away from the fallen path we have inherited.

Since our first ancestors misused love away from God, what is the starting point of true love?


The Perfection of the individual

An individual cannot attain perfection by knowledge, power or money.

Rather, perfection is realized through love -- not vulgar love, but the original love. By this love everything is perfected.

Perfection can only be realized through love.  Not just any kind of love but the original love.  Through this love, everything is perfected.  We each are born with five senses: sight, hearing, taste, touch and smell.  Each senses should be centered on perfected love.  This means that every sensation of our eyes, nose, mouth, hands and so forth should be perfected centering on love.

One cannot abide in that state by oneself. One must be relating ever more closely with a counterpart. One's counterpart is ever changing, and the feelings coming from one's counterpart are ever changing.

When our five senses become one centering on love we then experience the world in a state of ecstasy.  We would be enraptured by our surroundings and lovingly take in the world around us.

God created the mind and body based on love. 

For an individual to become perfect, these must become one. An individual grows to maturity through their eternal give and take action.

The quality of love can fill an enlarged space or shrink to an infinitely small point.  This is heavenly love.  Through the eyes of love, it does not matter if something is big or small.  Small things have their value in small packages and large things have their value in a big package.  This is God's desire to create such a world of love.

To begin the process of perfecting an individual one must start from love then mature centering on love.  This process resembles a bud growing into fruit. Then when the person attains the proper standard of love, God will dwell in his future marriage.  Until his love has matured, there is no basis upon which to bear good fruit.

Everything is created and sustained based upon the law of love. 

Fruit is produced after a flower blooms, the stamen and pistil within the flower engage in give and take action creating a circular motion.  This is the same in the animal world and among human beings.  Everything in creation can only reach completion through the relationship of love, therefore, every entity can become perfect only through love.

When you become one with the core of the realm of God's love, mind and body can be united and become mature.  This is the process how a person who has not fallen grows toward individual perfection.

The perfection of an individual means the unification of mind and body. 

When the mind in the subject position engages in give and take action with the body in the object position, then this unified mind and body becomes the object of God. 

The mind should be unchanging forever.  The mind tends to focus on heaven and the body tends toward the world.

This is based upon the Cosmic Teaching and calls upon us to unite the incorporeal and corporeal worlds.  If a person wants to rule the cosmos, shouldn't they have a united mind and body?  Without a united mind and body, that person will perish.

what should they center on?  The mind and body should unite centered on God and then you become the external God reflecting His inner and outer nature.  How does one unite the mind to a fallen body?  We should center this unity upon love.


You can be your own worst enemy if you cannot unite your mind and body.

The perfection of an individual starts from the point where he or she makes a vertical relationship with God.  It is faith of the parent-child relationship.

What is individual perfection in this day?  As God loves us, this is the law of the Principle. We must also love God because love is only realized when subject and object give and take, there is no separation between God and His children.  This is the starting point for individual perfection.

We should establish a tradition of mutual love, respect and attendance of God as the vertical center.  Then we receive his love as His sons and daughters.

One should fulfill their individual responsibility on their way to individual perfection.  Before God can fully display His love for fallen, unclean man and woman, we must first perfect our character.

What do you think perfection of character means? It means to become a person who can fulfill his or her responsibility. That is to say, one must first be restored to one's original position before the Fall and then reach perfection, finally capable of fulfilling one's responsibility. This process involves a revolutionary change in character.

Since God is the subject partner to love, He requires an absolute object partner in which to have give and take action of love.

Individual perfection means the perfection of character. 

Once you clearly understand that you can obtain true love only after you have perfected your character, you must bear in mind that there is no other way to go besides the way of perfecting your character.

Once a person fulfills their responsibility and become mature people before God in a position to praise and love Him, he or she realizes the perfection of character.    The only way to obtain true love is by perfecting our fallen, sinful character.

People who live externally only in the satanic world has no connection to the realm of heart.

Once you have gone through a revolution of character, then and only then will you be led to true love.  One will never be able to reach perfection as long as they remain selfish, self-centered, have worldly greed, attachment to children, and having cultural superiority.  These are Satan's traps.

To become mature in character we must deny everything in the satanic world, by denying every worldly thing and bear much persecution.  Those who think centered on themselves and not God remain tied to the satanic realm.  Once you inherit God's heart and reached a perfected character, then you can connect with God's standard of character.

We must become people who can meet the standard of the original perfected character by continuously reforming ourselves and fulfilling our given responsibilities.

The Divine Principle, Unification Thought can make you reform and perfect yourself delving into the depths, pains and truths of God's heart.

To reform this world, we must perfect our character one hundred percent. Otherwise, we cannot reach the level of perfect joy.

What if war ended and there was peace all over the world.  Each one of us would not experience perfect joy as long as memories of the Fall remain in us.  How can we call it World Peace if when we go home we cannot be happy or love our wife or children fully because of sin?  We must erase the notion that human beings fell and become beings who are more than one hundred percent perfect.

Where is love's embarkation point, love's encampment, and the place of love's safe settlement?

Among you, some might hope that it is your mind and body. In fact, if your mind and body become the place where God's love can settle safely, then you will become the perfect encampment for unification.

God can safely settle in the mind and body then you become the perfect encampment for unification.  You become the object of God's love and become God's direct son who will inherit the family business which is the enterprise of heaven and earth.  When God witnesses this day wouldn't He cry tears of gratitude welcoming you proudly, "Oh, my son!"?


Where does love start?

We must be able to correspond with the harmony of heaven and earth and carry out our responsibility.

Love begins from a perfected individual after going through adolescence and become qualified to love the opposite sex.  We must correspond to heaven and earth and carry out our responsibility.  However, Adam and Eve did not begin their family in this way.  Their love could not happen where heaven and earth could unite.

They did not have the destined love, but united centered on satanic love.  Every human descended from the first parents who never tasted God's true love.  We do not even understand the concept of a world of true love.  We must each prepare a foundation of true love centered on God, then he comes down for the first time with His love.

God looks down at humans as His masterpiece and cannot help but loving them when He sees them love each other and makes a way for people to join in relationships of love.  God existed first as the Word and thereafter creating all things, created human beings on the last day.  God created Adam as His object partner and the female Eve as Adam''s object partner.

Centering on God, Adam and Eve in the position of subject and object partners are to make a relationship of love. At the same time, God and the two human beings, Adam and Eve, would make a relationship of subject and object partners.

Were Adam to make a subject-object relationship with God, without making a subject-object relationship with Eve, he would not be able to possess God's eternal love, nor could he exist eternally. By only making a relationship with God, Adam would only be able to move in a straight line. The same would apply if he related only with Eve.

Eternity and perfection are obtained not from linear motion, but require spherical motion. To change from linear motion to spherical motion, Adam also needs to make a relationship with Eve as his object partner. Adam alone cannot establish the harmony of life and love.

Everything in creation exists based on movement through three points or it will not be perfect or eternal.    Adam was to approach God through His object Eve and Eve through Adam, not through a straight line.  This way, they would proceed in a spherical movement.  To approach Eve, they would have to have a love relationship, because by himself he does not have the strength to approach God.

We know that Adam and Eve chose love outside of God's realm, but what if they had reached perfection and had completely matured as man and woman to receive the marriage blessing of God instead of getting kicked out.

They would have centered on one love and become Mother and unite with the entire universe.  We see the opposite in our environment in these Last Days.  They would have united with God and have initiated a new beginning in the universe, in heaven and earth.

How could this begin.  The starting point of a cosmos of peace was to be God's love.

Where would be the origin of this God-centered unified love?

God had originally intended that Adam and Eve would mature and embrace all things in heaven and earth.   Their hearts would have overflowed with happiness, enraptured in God's love.    Their love would have hope for tomorrow and be big enough to embrace all future generations.  This would be the starting point for true love to appear uniting man and woman centering on God's love.  By not reaching this level, the starting point of unified love does not appear.

After an individual achieves perfection as a spouse in the conjugal relationship, we should receive public recognition center on God's love to establish the true ideal.

Three Stages of Judgement

"I humbly ask you to be the poor in spirit; I ask you to be the meek, and I ask you to become those who hunger and thirst for righteousness. Then we will all see the Kingdom of Heaven, and we shall all be satisfied. Now let us begin."

Christians, and Christianity itself, have a final hill to cross.


The Bible prophesize about the end of the world and that we must face judgement of fire on the great and terrible day of the Lord.  On this day, we are to see many great phenomena as the end comes near.  Jesus promised the people that he was to return at this time.

Since the day Jesus ascended into heaven, Christians have been watching for his return to earth.  To this day, Christians are becoming tired of waiting for this extraordinary event to occur.  Some have decided that this even will not happen literally as they wait for this event to possibly clear away all the problems in the world automatically.  They came to think, "This is just one of God's methods to keep us alert and faithful."

Other religions also have predicted their own version of the end of the world.  Yet, no one can clearly define what this end of the world is going to be.  Each makes their own determination based on the denomination and religion they practiced.  There should be a universal understanding of this time when the Lord will reappear and bring his fire of judgement upon the earth.


God never created this world with the intentions to destroy it for any reason, but intended for the world of goodness to last forever.  How can we profess God is an almighty God, but then say this God will bring down a judgement upon his own children and destroy those who do not follow him and the earth He created?    He definitely did not create it to be weak enough to be destroyed by an archangel.

What is meant by 'the end of the world' in the bible is the end of the evil, satanic soverenignity which satan began.  God intended for a world of goodness to be established and remain forever, not evil.  His children became creatures of evil.  This is


Beginning of Judgement by Fire

Adam and Eve fell in the garden of Eden. They were not at that time in a position to have a full understanding of the will of God. 

In the beginning, God created everything and after creating woman, He said it was good.  Sin did not exist at this time.

God had instructed Adam and Eve to not eat of the fruit, which symbolized the sexual organs.  The WORD has been referred to many times in the Bible as fire.  This is the fire, the word, which Jesus is to bring upon his return in our time. The judgement of fire is God's word.  Adam and Eve were confronted with two opposite words.

The first was from God.  Obedience to God's word would have brought about a good world based on Adam and Eve's good family connected directly to God's lineage without any trace of sin.The other was from Lucifer who told them to eat so their eyes will be open and they could become their own god which brought about the fallen evil world.  When Adam and Eve were confused, they made the wrong choice.   God's good world ended at that moment they connected their sexual organs without God's consent.

Our first parents sowed seeds of evil.  Adam and Eve were to grow into maturity and then be blessed directly by marriage to God, yet satan stole them before their maturity and made an evil harvest.

We must become very clear about this so we ourselves will not repeat the fall in our own lives and return in the right direction.

The last days, the sheep and the goat will be separated.  The difference between these two animals are clear.  The sheep recognize they have a master and follow while the goat do not follow the shepherd.

Today the world is divided into two major camps: the democratic world which says, "There is a God' and the communist world which says "God does not exist".  In this time there is open immorality where unchaste love runs rampant.  Satan uses love as a weapon.

One must be equipped with a greater, more righteous love in order to conquer Satan.

Satan is always trying to trick people with cheap love. But heavenly love is beautiful and constructive in its sacrificial giving. Satan's love is unreliable and will last only a short time, but heavenly love is eternally unchanging.


Father Moon main core teaching is on how the misuse of love brought about this evil world.  He speaks deeply about it:

"America is facing the last days right now and we can see two extremes of love in this country: the carnal, dirty love of free sex and the deep rooted, heavenly love now being proclaimed by righteous people. Secular love and heavenly love are confronting each other here in America. As the scope of satanic love becomes greater there will be more destruction. Families will break up; people will become corrupted; life will become
miserable, and more people will commit suicide. But as heavenly love expands, our lives become richer.

There is a line of judgement separating these two worlds of love, and you must stand on either one side or the other. You can not be in both.

The last days is the time for dividing good and evil, which are becoming steadily more confused. Even the most faithful believer in Jesus or the most righteous church on earth cannot proclaim proudly that they are absolutely separated from Satan and sin and that they are following Jesus exactly as he would have them do.

No one can say they are living in perfect love in an ideal world with no suffering and tears. No church and no Christian could say such a thing.

This means that Satan exists within the churches as everywhere else; also, there is sin there as in the rest of the world. If this is true and if what church people love and hate is no different from what the rest of the world loves and hates, then there is very little difference between the world and the church. Which would Satan find more pleasure in the church or the world?

Satan likes the sins of the church more, because based upon them he can protest to God, "Look at those people in the church -- they don't love others; they even hate others! They are not faithful, either. This must be my church."

If the churches remain this way, they will decline into nothing at the time of the last days, along with the evil, secular world. This is the way of God; He will judge such churches before the judgement of the rest of society.

What really surprised me when I first came to America was the way Americans used the names of Jesus Christ and God as an exclamation -- not to praise them, but to put them in the worst position. I wondered what people meant when they said, "Jesus Christ!" and I realized that they were describing something bad.

What led to this kind of custom? What do the best words imaginable have to do with the worst things that can happen to people?

Have you sometimes observed that certain Christians may be worse than people of the secular world? Those who claim they believe in God may actually be worse than those who don't -- they are more egotistical, less loving and giving, etc.

The American nation is founded upon Judeo-Christian principles, yet Americans have become very individualistic. Was Jesus an individualistic person?

How did Americans come to be so egotistical and individualistic when Jesus had nothing of a self-centered nature? We can come to the simple conclusion that if people really believed in Jesus they would not have become like that.

Instead of believing in Jesus for Jesus' sake and for God's sake, some people believe in him for their own benefit. In other words, they use Jesus and God for their own sake. What do you think about this?"



Then, what does the end of the world mean? 

"Just what is going to end? Evil is going to end. God will put an end to all evil. Out of God's new beginning will come a new opportunity for the human race. And the goodness God intended in His original ideal can be made real.

What will Jesus do when he comes? Will he come to wipe out the world?

The word "judgement" is frequently misunderstood to mean that God will wipe out everything in anger. Wrong.  That is not the purpose of the Messiah's coming. The whole purpose is to fulfill the ideal that was left undone in the garden of Eden, to work for individual, family, social, national and world perfection. Judgement is the constructive work of God to see the fulfillment of the Kingdom of God here on earth.

In the garden of Eden Adam and Eve fell into evil instead of developing their goodness. They was subjugated by Satan and became the children of sin.

Therefore the Bible says, "You are of your father the devil". John 8:44

If the fall had not occurred, then the true ruler would be God. But He is not today the King of this universe, because Satan is sitting upon God's throne. God has to remove all results of the human fall before He can truly reign over the world.

Now, the end of the world is the moment in history when God ends this history of evil and begins His new age. It is the crossroads of the old history of evil and the new history of good."SMM


Three Stages of Judgement

In the Principle, there are three stages of judgment: judgment of the truth, judgment of character, and judgment of heart, because the fall violated these three things.

To teach this way of restoring the world back to its original position we must first teach ourselves.  The parents should first practice and then teach first.  We should be teachers of the Principle and not be caught BY the Principle.  We must become the embodiment of the Principle teaching.

When you ask, you do not receive, because you ask with wrong motives, that you may spend what you get on your own pleasures.

You adulterous people, don’t you know that friendship with the world means enmity against God?  

Therefore, anyone who chooses to be a friend of the world becomes an enemy of God. Or do you think Scripture says without reason that he jealously longs for the spirit he has caused to dwell in us?  

But he gives us more grace. That is why Scripture says:

“God opposes the proud
    but shows favor to the humble.”

 Submit yourselves, then, to God. Resist the devil,and he will flee from you.Come near to God and he will come near to you. Wash your hands, you sinners, and purify your hearts, you double-minded.  Grieve, mourn and wail. Change your laughter to mourning and your joy to gloom.  Humble yourselves before the Lord, and he will lift you up.

James 4:3-10


In order to  go through the restoration process of going fully back to God, we each must have a face-to-face battle with satan.  If we do not make a condition of indemnity to pay back the wrongs of the past, the satan will pull and say, "it is mine".  We must establish a foundation of faith and put His words into action in order to go back to God.

Because we were born with Satan's blood, we must take out our blood and throw it away. 

Religion teaches us to fast, to hit the body, do whatever it takes to bring the body into submission. and conquer it.  Satan uses the body to do his evil while God dwells in our mind.  Jesus' body was hit for our in.  Yet, he has returned to bring the word to bring humanity to complete salvation of the body, not just the spirit.

Then what did Jesus leave for us? He gave us his blood and flesh. You must become the person who represents Jesus.

In the past, when the followers of Jesus were praying to meet Jesus, they had to make effort for at least seven years, day and night.

Without doing that, they couldn't meet Jesus. However, in these days if you make effort for seven days, you can meet the Teacher. No matter what the problem may be, if you make effort for seven days with fasting,

The road that we walk based on the teachings of the Completed Testament, we must understand how har of a road, how much blood was shed to bring this truth to the earth.  Jesus had the knowledge o f the Completed Testament, but because his disciples could not understand the time of their visitation and could not understand the teachings of Jesus, he had to return to give it to the people of our time.

We must ultimately follow God through this course of indemnity, but not centered on ourselves.  We should raise our standard by doing fasting, prayer and conditions to separate us from the temptations of satan.

Among you, those who have finished 7-day fast, raise your hands. To those who did not experience one week fasting, you do not know the feeling on the seventh day, thirty minutes before midnight.

By experiencing a fasting condition, one can become connected closer to God and experience part of his suffering on the road to bring restoration to the world.  If we truly want to believe in the cross, we must substantially walk the road of the cross and  turn God's will and words into their daily actions.

Those who do not know the heart of God must stand as the incarnation of God.
