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.


Return for Tomorrow's Post: How Bad Relationships Affect Children


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.

The Root of Promiscuious Sex

The Bible reports that the fruit was the cause of evil.  It never said what the fruit was, but popular culture would say that it was an apple.

Either way, why would God even create a fruit which first could kill His children and secondly, if creation was made for humanity's enjoyment, why create something that was for the purpose of their death?

Would the God you love create such a contradiction?

Through the teachings of the Divine Principle, we learn that indeed the fruit was symbolic for something else entirely.

Adam and Eve were likened to the trees in the garden.

If we are to compare a man and woman to a tree, in the center is their sexual organs which bear fruit.The fruit that come forth from a man and a woman's seed are children.

When we realize that the fruit was the sexual organs which we were not to eat or touch of, then the history of the root of sin makes sense.

Secondly, if the fruit was to mean sexual organs, did He mean for them to abstain forever?

Adam and Eve were teenagers who had not reached physical maturity or spiritual maturity yet. Thus they had not become perfected beings which God could relate.  Therefore, to prevent the Fall, God gave the warning to not eat or touch of one another in their immature state before uniting with Him.

Once they were to reach perfection, been blessed in marriage directly by God, then they would have been able to delve freely in the fruit of each other with God as the center.

Since there was such a danger from partaking of the fruit before maturity, why did He make it part of creation before they were ready?

The Fall changed the blood lineage from God's pure blood to Satan's lineage whose word and will they followed.

This is why they were driven out of Heaven.

If they had perfected themselves, they would have become God's body and wife respectively.

By introducing another element, false word of do eat now, this introduction led to a disease inside God's body or temple and ideal.

God lost His original ideal for a world of peace flourishing with His love and His everything and humanity went into the other direction.

Adam and Eve acted as God's enemies when they ignored His warning.

How miserable was God's heart when He witnessed this taking place?

The Fall is the grave in which Adam and Eve buried themselves. 

The Fall became the root of free promiscuous sex and the origin of individualism.

What kind of nation has America become today?

It overflows with extreme individualism, excessive pursuit of privacy not public life and free sex.   Do you think that God is in favor of these lifestyles when He looks down upon His children?

Is He happy to build such a heaven on earth to turn into a perpetual hell for Satan's will?

What has America's extreme individualism brought about?

It is like they are saying that they would abandon heaven and earth, the world, their nation, their society and family to pursue endeavors that only help themselves.

People who live in such a way are like gypsies who begin wandering around with no place to go.

They may end their lives in suicide.

The original mind which God endowed to humanity does not desire such extreme individualism or privacy.

It rather dwells in receiving love from the universe and the nation, from our neighborhood and village and from our parents.

But, because people walk the opposite path of their God-given conscience, it is stricken and they are able to feel the pang of a contradiction with their original mind.

Without God, this empty hole and wanderings about in their soul will never be filled.

Because they are unable to fill this 'hole' within them, more and more people would rather die than live and so they commit suicide through drugs.





You Reap What You Sow

What did Adam and Eve plant in the Garden of Eden when they gave into their sexual organs outside of God's dominion and followed Lucifer's advice?  They sowed seeds of free sex.

Can this fact be denied?

This is why when God came into the Garden, they covered their sexual parts and not their mouths.  If the fruit was literal, then they should have covered their mouths when God confronted them.  We naturally hide our transgressions.

Before the Fall, Adam and Eve were naked and free.  Afterward they hid their private parts and God asked them how did they know that they were naked.

It cannot be denied that the Fall was caused by fornication.

When we know this simple fact that has been hidden and masked throughout the ages, we can plainly see how Satan has used fallen, unclean sex to keep God's children bonded to him and away from God.

Where is the dividing line of heaven and hell?  Is it in the mid air?

It is none other than your sexual organ.

This is a serious matter that must be understand so one does not repeat the mistake of our first ancestors.

Those who use their sexual organs aimlessly will be bound for hell.

Those who use theirs according to God's absolute standard of love will be led high up into heaven. This is a clear conclusion.

Absolute, pure sex has God at its center, whereas free sex is centered on oneself and Satan.  God's absolute standard of love will be led high up into heaven, this is a clear conclusion.

Historically, world literature and the media have often used images of free sex to stimulate the audience.
Therefore, from now on, all of us including politicians, economists, writers, and journalists must unite to lead the way to prevent promiscuous sex from further destroying the youth and this nation.

Free sex should disappear completely if we are even thinking about a better world.

Who has ever declared such a statement?

Chastity for Woman and Purposefulness for Man

Do you just love whomever you want, even a man who calls you on the the street?  Do you follow him or not?  You should not.  You should not have that kind of tendency.

You each should protect your bodies until the time is right.

You should not just hand over your pure love to devilish men who strut and loiter on the street.

Why place your fate into the hands of such a man?

This is a simple matter.

Since you have only one life, once you take the wrong step, you would be unsettled for life.  Therefore, women should strictly directly maintain their chastity, from now on, men should do the same.  In only this way will they be restored to their original position before the Fall.

However evil and heartless this world may be, you should not do things which will lead you astray from the principled path.

You should not defile your purity during your adolescence.

This is a precious time when you are able to overcome the bitter failure of Adam and Eve who lost their purity in their teenage years.

When preserving that purity, which has a pristine value, you should have the mind and determination that even if you have to live alone for a thousand or ten thousand years, your love organ won't ever be misused.

When certain men see a pretty woman, they would wish that she was their wife even though they already have a wife at home.

These kind of men have two minds of a thief.

Since Satan was the first to have two minds, it is not wrong to call men with two minds Satan.  Such people are no different from Satan who defiled the sexual organs, too.

The time is coming when not just women, but men should keep their chastity.  

If a man errs in this regard, it is as if his whole clan committed a serious crime against God's will.

Even if a person has a respectable position, it does not mean that he is permitted to be unfaithful to his wife.

If he does, his whole clan is useless to God and will perish.

We have now entered the age where men must remain chaste in order to bequeath a historical tradition of purity.

Christian communion is for the sake of establishing the tradition of Jesus' pure flesh and blood which is connected to God's pure blood lineage.

There is a saying that goes, "Chastity for woman and purposefulness for man." 

This saying means that chastity is for fulfilling God's will concerning keeping pure love.

Since it is said that chastity is for women, they should know only one love.  Since it is said that purposefulness is for men, men should go forward unwaveringly for the sake of one purpose only.

Adam and Eve should have known the correct path and have maintained their chastity, yet they fell.

A man that loves a woman with God's love should stand in a position where he can say, "I have loved her totally with eternal and unchanging love from beginning to end."

Also, a woman in order to stand in such a position, should seal her body tight.

Just as a peony flower blossom formed from many layers of petals, she should hide herself deep inside.

Then when the springtime of the harmony of heaven and earth comes, she would harmonize with it and start a new life.

We should all know this well.

7 days of Holy Sex`Day 3 - Original Moral Code

“The owner of a husband’s sexual organ is his wife, and the owner of a wife’s sexual organ is her husband,” teaches Reverend Moon. "Marriage is finding the rightful master of one’s most holy place of love.”

In the previous post, we spoke about 8 points of the benefits of sex in a marriage.  These are the basics of sexual codes: An individual's sexual expression was meant to be reserved for only his or her spouse.

The only priest or priestess allowed to enter the Holy of Holies in the temple of the body is the married partner.

 The Qur’an concurs: “The believers are . . . those who guard their private parts except with their spouses”

When it comes to conjugal love, partners already have this sense of belonging to their beloved. "You own my heart,” they profess to each other.

In the Song of Solomon, the young woman says, “My beloved is mine and I am his”.

Couples promise their undying commitment, share their fortunes and futures and give all they have and what they will acquire to one another.  The greatest gift of this love is the exclusive affection and trust in an exclusive sexual relationship.  This is why it is natural for a husband and wife to claim their spouse on their beloved's love and his or her sexual expression.

Legal codes have historically recognized this expectation as “conjugal rights.

St. Paul, for example, speaks of this standard when he states, “The wife does not have authority over her own body, but the husband does; and likewise also the husband does not have authority over his own body, but the wife does.”

1 Corinthians 7:4


This means that each of us is a caretaker of our reproductive organs, attending them as a treasure for the sake of the true owner our spouse and the Creator.  This sense of entitlement or proprietorship, of course, is necessarily in the spirit of respect and care.

Again, the Bible goes on to say that, “Even so, husbands should love their wives as their own bodies. He who loves his wife loves himself.”

Spouses are to love one another even as god loves and sacrifices for each of them.  Each denying themselves  for the other and the duty to satisfy each other sexually is part of the larger promise within a marriage.  The world's major religious traditions for thousands of years have been consistent and of one accord in affirming commitment in a sexual union as the norm.


Religion Teaches Sexual Sacredness

Rev. Sun Myung Moon has used his 93 years of knowledge of the spirit world and different religions to bring about the truth of absolute, pure sex in the following speech:

All religions share the strict prohibition against sex outside of marriage, especially against infidelity within marriage. “You shall not commit adultery,” is among the Ten Commandments recognized recognized by Christians and Jews Exodus 20:14 and affirmed by Muslims Qur’an 6.151-53.

Among the ten precepts recognized by Hinduism, Buddhism, and Jainism is the charge of chastity.

This uncompromising norm will never change or become outdated. It is everlasting, having originated in the Creator and conforming to the very design and purpose of human creation.

Reverend Moon calls it the absolute sex standard. This is the standard “in the beginning” to which

Jesus was referring when he commented about matters of marriage Matthew 19:8.

The gold standard of sexual morality This norm is indeed latent within people’s consciences and “written on their hearts” Romans 2:15.

Common sense tells us abiding by this simple standard establishes the safety and security necessary for the greatest sexual satisfaction for both partners, and only these conditions will contain all the potential consequences of sexual union for the partners, their families and society.

Those involved with public health policy call it the “gold standard” of sexual morality, because it averts all the myriad negative health, social and other consequences of sexual behavior.



Confronting the Permissive Standard

However self-evident this original standard that links sexuality to marriage might be, reaffirming and reinvigorating this is sorely needed in contemporary times.

The developed nations remain in— and developing countries continue to fall under the thrall of—the sexual revolution that broke down traditional taboos in the 1960s.  Men and women relate in a 'low-commitment culture of ‘sex without strings, relationship without rings'.

Popular sexual morality has evolved since the blatant hedonism and promiscuity of the early days of the sexual revolution, but the basic “free sex” ideology still persists among many people of influence.

This is an outlook that sees sex apart from marriage as an act of liberation against unfair restrictions and that physical involvement is no one’s business except the partners.

Fun is considered justification enough for sexual relations; lovers should expect to be discarded when someone new comes along, and marriage and parenthood are unnecessary constraints on personal freedom.

In the aftermath of rampant unwed pregnancies, divorce, disease and heartbreak, this “free sex” philosophy of sex for pleasure has progressed to what is called the “ethic of intimacy", the belief in sex for love.

Warm feelings are now the acceptable reason for men and women to enter into a physical relationship. “Loveless” or “meaningless” sex is the only kind that might be condemned. Sexual activity itself is still regarded as morally neutral; it is its motivation that determines whether it is good or not.

Such an ethic of intimacy represents a moral advance in the many cases where sexual relations are brutally selfish and exploitative.

Yet it is a far cry from the authentic standard and remains just a variation of the older idea. Mutual consent, tolerance and a loose definition of love and intimacy easily legitimate temporary liaisons based on fickle feelings.

“We were crazy about each other,” recalls one young man. “I thought, ‘This is the one.’ We even discussed marriage. I gave my virginity to her. Well, so much for ‘undying love'. Now I don’t even know where she lives.”

Such an ethic does not protect partners from agreeing to use each other and inflict harm on one another and innocent parties beyond themselves, however this might go undetected at the time.

Whether the old free sex perspective or the newer ethic of intimacy, sexuality is regarded as a domain with its own rules, a unique impulse that cannot and must not be overly controlled. Sex is seen as a need to be addressed like that of food and sleep, and thus vital to mental and physical health. More than this, it is an entitlement, a right that cannot be denied.

In popular culture, sex is the universal gateway to joy, love, wisdom, transcendent experience, personal growth and discovery, worthy of endless participation, depiction and discussion. It has taken on mythic dimensions, like the Holy Grail or fountain of youth, and is almost an object of worship, as mentioned above.

This is a well-worn detour from the truth.

History abounds with examples of societies exalting sex out of all proportion and outside its rightful boundaries. Fertility worship in ancient Israel is a Biblical illustration.

History also testifies to the fact that whenever a society allows this to happen, destruction follows. Anthropologist Carl Zimmerman and others have discovered that the acceptance and practice of adultery and other aspects of sexual license are reliable predictors of the disintegration of a civilization.


Addressing Flawed Premises

The original sexual norm represents the enlightened and responsible standard, because it respects the realities of the heart and conscience as well as the body and harmonizes unselfish love and passion according to the human nature endowed by the Creator. The absolute sex standard confronts the flawed premises of the old “free sex” ethic: Absolute Sex Morality

The primary human motive and need is to give and receive love.

Sexual love is one dimension of this need and, while conjugal companionship and sexual intimacy are both good and healthy conditions, neither is a necessity, especially genital sexual relations. Sexual restraint is expected of any mature person.  Sexuality has intrinsic moral, spiritual, psychological and social dimensions.  Sexual love is a feature solely of the marital relationship.

It is responsible only in the context of this commitment and it is enriching only when accompanied by both love and commitment. Sexual expression is a responsibility and both a personal and public
matter.


“Free Sex” Morality

Sex is the primary human motive and need. As such, regular sexual outlets are a necessity. Too much sexual restraint is unhealthy and destructive.

Sexuality can be simply physical pleasure; it has no necessary moral, spiritual, psychological and social dimensions.  Sexual love can be a feature of any relationship; all sexual behavior is either normal or a variation.

Sex can be enriching free of love and commitment, while mutual consent and the use of birth- and disease control make it responsible. Sexual expression is an entitlement and a wholly personal matter."SMM

This text was rewritten and derived from the Textbook: True Love, Chapter "The Meaning of Sexuality".

The Way of True Freedom

When you were slaves to sin, you were free from the control of righteousness. What benefit did you reap at that time from the things which you are now ashamed?  

Those things result in death!  But now that you have been set free from sin and you have become slaves of God, the benefit you reap leads to holiness, and the result is eternal life.

Romans 6:20-22


Necessity of the Proper Conception of Freedom


There is a limit.


Everyone speaks about wanting peace, happiness and freedom, but on a deeper level, what actually is freedom that regular people call freedom?  We can say that freedom is doing whatever you want.  But how far does doing whatever you want go?

It has a limit.

We can only live a little beyond one hundred years.  Is it freedom if an individual just lives their whole life doing things their own way even against the law?  If God didn't give us freedom to do whatever we wished within His principles, what kind of freedom would we have?

A human being cannot live much longer than one hundred years. Is it freedom if I spend that one hundred years going my own way living however I want to my minds desires? If there were no law and freedom to do whatever one wished, what kind of freedom is that? Today, the world of civilized culture has expanded greatly, so is it easy or difficult to do research and study?

Here's an example.

 Is it freedom or restriction to to study all day if you do not like to study?  Being stuck in a study room all day when you rather be somewhere else is confinement.   The question is, even though there are imposed restrictions, we have to see why we have the desire to do it?  The problem has been our understanding of the concept of freedom.

Freedom is not doing whatever one wishes.   

Then, what does freedom mean to a woman? What does freedom mean to a man? What is freedom for any person?

What is freedom for a family? For a society? For a nation? That is the issue. Can we, as individuals, do whatever we wish?  Isn't this how society is being led in our times?  People living how ever they want based on their own desires without care for any other individual feelings have led to disastrous results and multiplied throughout history.

If it is freedom to do whatever you want, then when you say you don't want to eat another meal, you will die no matter what because your body lives by a standard of needing food.

That is the reason Western society is perishing. They do not know the definition of freedom.

Do we obtain freedom from our happiness or do we get happiness from experiencing freedom?  Which would you whether have?  Freedom in happiness.  We might think that happiness is in freedom, but we have not been aware that this is not the case.  Freedom desires to live within happiness not the other way around.

Therefore, freedom is an action with a directional characteristic. It cannot be a decisive action.

Since freedom wishes to dwell within happiness, it is secondary not primary.

2) The Three Great Principles Freedom Must Have

Freedom cannot exist outside of the Principle or the law and everything has been analyzed and the rules have already been set.

There is no freedom outside of the Principle.

Just because you have the freedom to choose to stop eating and you decide to do so just because you have chose - this is not freedom.  You will become hungry and your body will start to show ill effects and eventually you will die.

When we look at it this way, all the workings of the universe exercise the power of freedom.

The greatest freedom is that the earth revolves on its axis once a day. Also, the moon goes around the earth once a month, and, of course, the earth goes around the sun based on a 360-day cycle.

What if the earth all of the sudden decided that it didn't want to rotate.  This means the value of the whole in which it serves would be lost.  The logical conclusion is that there is no freedom apart from the Principle.  Every entity exists in this way.

When we pursue freedom in a world that forgoes its principles and laws will eventually fail.  An elderly person must follow the rules for the elderly.  Is it suitable for a 80 year old to date a 20 year old?  Everyone would laugh at such a relationship and spit on them when they see them in public.  Everything has to coincide with the Principle.


With Freedom Comes Responsibility

Have you noticed that with freedom comes responsibility?  You have heard this in the famous comics in reference to power.  When we act in a position of responsibility, we should do it for something good and not take responsibility for something bad.  All of creation will respect you when you take responsibility for your actions.  Also, where you have acted based on responsibility, good results will be left behind.

Aren't these the three great fundamental rules?

Someone might wonder what kind of freedom is there when you have to follow the rules and while catering to responsibility.  A teen might not want to be dominated by their parents. They want to to do whatever they wish so they can assert that as freedom.

Let's compare this analogy with the branches and twigs.  Does a twig say that it does not want to have anything to do with the branch?  Without the branch, the twig would not have protection and cannot manage by itself.

Can anything manage alone? The north, south, east and west have to join in four directions. 

If there is a tree-branch facing the east, then there will inevitably be branches facing west, south and north. There must also be buds and roots. It is in such a case that freedom can be guaranteed.

Without this principle, the tree does not grow upright and it will be out of shape.  Is the growth of a tree an example of freedom?  It is its purpose...to grow.  Therefore, there is not freedom outside the Principle - the fundamental rules of the Principle.  There also, is no freedom without responsibility.  When we act, good results must inevitably come about.


3) The Devil's Easy-Going Freedom

When we look at the behavior of students these days destroying school equipment, breaking things, they can be called villains.  They are satan's dogmatists.  This is self-indulgence - not freedom as they may think.  They may believe that doing whatever they want including harming property as long as they do whatever they feel like doing is freedom.  This selfish way of life can only decrease.  One only can prosper with the aid of everything in creation. Isn't this true?

As in the world of nature, each of us must absorb nutrients in order for our bodies to grow healthy. But if we deny our bodies the proper nourishment thinking this is freedom, our health will go down and all is lost.  That is a big painful problem.

"You must know this: there is definitely no freedom outside the Principle. When fathers and mothers give birth to sons and daughters, those sons and daughters cannot deny the principle of being born as children of their parents, can they?"

Only doing what I want to do and prefer is satan's easy going way of freedom.  It is a free action which is based on untruth, unprincipled things and will lead to failure.  It is outside the principle.

A person has to accept their father and mother are their origin and must come into harmony with them in order to do so.  They must care for each other and not just care for only themselves.  To be good to ones mother and father and yourself is freedom.

4) Women's Freedom



Should it be acceptable for a woman to say because of freedom, she will do everything a man does even though she was born as a woman.  As a woman she was not born with a beard so how can she claim freedom to grow a beard as a man?

Is this the way of the principle for those born as a woman.

Can a woman who has a monthly period, just claim that it is too annoying and she will just give up.  Can she just give up this responsibility just because she feels like it.

Each one of us has to adapt to the fundamental principles of womanhood.  A woman hast to take responsibility for being born a a woman.  She takes responsibility of bearing and raising the children as her breasts get large.

This is freedom. Giving birth and raising children is the highest freedom. 

A woman who does not give birth feels that she is only half a woman and is not counted as a woman.

Even if a chestnut burr is big and good, if it does not ripen properly then it will decay.  It will not be able to ripen and open and the whole part will fall off and rot.  The burr is attached firmly so the chestnut must not decay.

However, the chestnut burrs bearing chestnuts will come to fruition in the autumn. If the burr is carrying a chestnut, the nut should drop off. Before the chestnuts drop, the burr opens up automatically. No matter how big they are, those that don't have fruit will drop off the tree and decay.

When autumn arrives, the ones that are ripe open their mouths and have the responsibility to protect the fruit. It is the Principle. It is Principle based reasoning. There is no freedom outside of this logic. Do you understand?

The American concept of freedom has led to its decay.

We each have to take responsibility in all facets of life.  Why?  If we give birth to a child we would never say, "Hey, you're free.  Grow in any way you wish, do whatever you want."  this is a collective responsibility.  Because my parents raised me with responsibility, I must do the same for my children.

That is where freedom is.

True Love Does Not Fall

"To fall is to lose the center of vertical love and horizontal love. That's why conjugal love in the fallen world is so unstable. Conjugal love these days can be turned around 180 degrees by one word.

That is the fallen reality. That shows that people don't know where conjugal love should aim. The reason that the world is heading toward destruction is that the order of conjugal love has broken apart."

As a couple, you should be luminous and shine like the sun and the full moon in their principled orbit.  Do not be like the sun or the moon covered in dark clouds in a dark cosmos.

Heaven is looking for a couple which can represent heaven and earth and whose heart is filled with passionate love.   You should leave a legacy of love and raise your children in the atmosphere of such conjugal love.


Be a Couple of Parental Heart That is God's Fence

Economic difficulties cannot crack the affinity of husband and wife. Educational background cannot blur conjugal love. A wife may think that her husband should study a certain field more, but Father doesn't think so.

Love of husband and wife can fill what is lacking.  A wife may think that her husband needs to get a degree or become a doctor to become the best husband.  This is not Father's thinking.  The economic down turn of a nation will not crack the affinity of husband and wife and their educational background will not blur conjugal love.

Conjugal love is the oneness of the love of man and the love of woman.

Conjugal love then should become one with the children's love and then become one with God's love.  God's love dwells where the perfect conjugal love begins.

When a husband and wife are live with God and humankind as their center and are about to explode in love, God and the universe will claim and possess that family. This type of love does not begin with the man or woman - its origin is God's love.

When doves are in love, you hear them say, "coo, coo".  How does a couple in love sound?  When two people who are in deep love meet each other, the sound will be much bigger than that of thunder!

If we have strong love centered upon God, opposition and persecution from the world will be something interesting to play with. "First love" possesses enormous power, like dynamite. Did Adam and Eve live together without getting married, as is the practice of the young people in this age?

True love is the first the last and the eternal.  When Adam and Eve experienced their first love, were they married or practice fallen free love as the young people of this age? 

God wants a couple to love each other intimately and with passion.  When your mind wants to pursue such idealistic love, it will be the driving force to help you push through any difficulties and win over anything including Satan when we are in love.

A spouse filled with true love will love with the oneness of body, heart and blood lineage.  Who loves like that?  Only the husband and wife can perpetuate this ideal.  With a love like this, can a spouse have a fulfilling life when apart from their spouse?

Your spouse is the most lovely object in the world and your relationship as a couple resembles an echo.  Your spouse will live and behave according to how you sound and behave.  This may be difficult to hear when a spouse seems to be acting poorly toward another. 

When a man loves a woman, no matter how strong or masculine he may be, he will not reject a woman who has plunged into the depth of his heart with such a great love.  Men love such a woman.  When one sacrifices and invests everything for the sake of love, all barriers will be broken.

This is partly why Father Moon believes that through inter-cultural and interracial marriages, the world can become one. What grandfather would bomb the country where his grandchildren reside?

Passionate love outside the holy union of God has been the downfall of many nations and leaders.  To keep all the love for the spouse, bachelors and virgins are warned not to even touch each other's hands before marriage.   This is to love 100%.

When one keeps all of their love before marriage, they will be able to give this to their spouse wholeheartedly.  With a love this passionate, even when a couple is far apart, they will find themselves moving toward each other automatically.

We must correct the mistake of our first ancestors who loved passionately before they were blessed in marriage by God.  Afterward, humanity's mind and body contradicted each other.  God has used religion to help us correct this problem. 

Once we make the mind the subject over our body;s many ungodly wants, then we should make a circular relationship where God can dwell in our mind. 

When a man and woman whose mind and body are united enter into the Marriage Blessing directly given by God, they will live giving and receiving perfect love and happiness.  This harmonized couple will resemble a flower in full bloom and emanate a beautiful fragrance to God.  For thousands of years, God has longed for such a couple.

"God can dwell only in the love of a husband and wife; all things and the universe should be harmonized centering upon that love. The Unification Church is the place for teaching this content."

God's favorite melody is the joyous laughing of a couple in love. When a couple lives with the mind to embrace the whole universe, laughter is produced automatically. Isn't the loving life of a such a couple a beautiful flower in God's sight? This is not a mere ideal or something abstract;this is how the original world was supposed to be.

What is God's favorite melody?

It is the joyous sound of laughter of a couple in love.  When a couple lives with the mind to embrace the whole universe, laughter is produced automatically. Isn't the loving life of a such a couple a beautiful flower in God's sight? This is not a mere ideal or something abstract;this is how the original world was supposed to be.  A couple becomes united in oneness when they have they desire to accomplish the purpose of the universe as the most significant aspect of life.

When a couple speak, they speak centered upon their mind, personality and love.  This makes them equal, correct?  If a woman from the country with only an elementary school education marries a king, the people of the nation bow to the wife.  Husband and wife go the same way;the wife's love is the wife's love is the husband's love and the husband's love is the wife's love.

When a man laughs, his eyes open wide, and when the women laughs her eyes gently close.  The husband and wife's laughter is relative and they become more intoxicated in love.

A couple shouldn't unilaterally desire their spouse's face to remain in a fixed shape. If they remain fixed, each will become really tired of looking at the other. When you look at your spouse with a joyful heart, he or she will look joyful; and when you look at your spouse with a beautiful heart, he or she will look beautiful. Feel your spouse's face anew with every new stimulation.

A husband and wife are happy when they give and receive love with each other.  If the husband was to strike his wife, there is no happiness. On the contrary, when a man loves with his loving heart with his physical power, the woman feels complete happiness.  When the wife returns her love physically and spiritually to the man, they become a truly happy couple.

When a man loves a woman, the women will feel true happiness. this love is not produced by energy alone or fulfilled by heart alone.

Because human beings were created to always need stimulation, happiness cannot be established without it. 

When we are starving, our vegetables will taste good and fresh.  We can eat the same meal everyday with the same seasoning.  In the same way, love should always be fresh and new.  As the days pass their love grows, the husband and wife should miss each other day by day.  We do this by studying and researching ourselves and God.

What can bring complete happiness?  Is it eating?  But eating is only temporary and once you had your fill, you can't eat anymore even if you are offered food from the finest restaurants.  We will never get full from the love of our spouse.  As we see them more, we miss them more.  Unification takes place here where lovers make a circle of love.

A married couple might have to think hard to the time before when they were single.  The girl felt like she didn't need a man, but once she was enraptured in love in her married life, she could not live without him.  Through this ownership of love, she sees that her husband is much more precious than herself.

Where does True Happiness come from?

Families these days are bogged down by the demands of their lives.  When a family centers their love upon God, and they can see the joyous God working in their lives, then true happiness is generated.  In God's original ideal when He was creating, making love between husband and wife was not something in which o be ashamed.  He created love to be the noblest, holiest and most beautiful thing in all creation.  The beginning of this reversal in love began with our first ancestor who sin by misusing God's love.

There are now 7 billion men and women in the world, but husband and wife should think that their spouse is the only one in existence.  This is Principle that a couple totally invests themselves in their spouse alone.  Would a couple who thinks this way, stray toward another person or wish for a better spouse?

The value of love lies in longing.

When you actively initiate love by asking for love with your mouth and your eyes, then your spouse will be happy to pour their love to you in return or else he would run away.  Wouldn't a spouse feel bad if their spouse was only passive or not serious in love?  We always want to be together with our lover because it feels good to be close and when we are together, everything functions simultaneously.  We can see God's love and investment through a couple such as this.

Which love is better, the love where two people shout in a crowded room, "love you" or the couple that expresses their love silently.   Deep love kept silent within the heart of a couple is very precious.

Here in America, love is active while in the Oriental culture love is internal.  Waves are high in shallow water and gentle in the deeper part of the ocean.  The waves of love also get quieter in depth, so in this sense, invisible love is more precious than visible love. 

What about God?  What would happen if he was a walking, visible God?  Every nation would fight even more wars just to possess such a limited being  within their boundaries.  Fortunately, God is invisible which is the most precious.  Because God dwells inside our invisible mind, nobody can steal him from us.

What if love was visible?

 It would be no fun.  Invisible love is the greatest love of among all love.  Because love is invisible like God, it can be the highest, widest, and deepest.  Love is compared to the Rocky Mountains and the Niagara Falls to describe love's deep, rugged qualities. 

"The invisible God is precious because invisible love is precious."

In order to find God, we must get rid of our ego and become absolute zero in front of God without our own agenda.  God lives deeply within the realm of the invisible world and in the visible world which we live.

When we see an American couple or a Hollywood couple in love it looks very hot.  But this love is actually lukewarm compared to Oriental couples.  American couples kiss each other automatically every morning like a fly touching on the skin and flying away. 

An Oriental husband and wife stare at each other before kissing and they shyly drop their eyes.  This scene can compare to a great masterpiece in any museum.  Also, the scene of the wife carrying the briefcase for her husband just before they leave for a business trip.  An American wife barely will leave the room or turn her head to see her husband off before he leaves.  Therefore, Orientals who are aware of the Western life style don't want to get married to an American woman.

The conversation of a loving couple is much more beautiful than any poem or any picture in the world. How beautiful words are, such as "between lovers," "between ourselves," or "you and me"!

When God blesses human beings, He creates the environment for the couple to be happy. The couples who enter the door of such blessing don't fight with each other right away. After entering the door of love, they are busy exchanging whispers such as, "I've been waiting to meet you for a long time. My life will bloom with the flowers of value through you. I was born to love you and waited to love you until now." There is nothing sweeter than the confidential talk of love.

God creates an environment in which a couple can be happy when he blesses them together.  A couple united in this love will not fight with each other right away, but will be happy and be appreciative for such a spouse.  This type of couple will tell one another how they have longed to meet them and how their life will bloom in value through them. They will say, "I was born to love you and waited to love you until now." 

"Their is nothing sweeter than the confidential talk of love."

The married couple's whispering of love is the most effective refrigerant to cool off all the fatigue and the hatred in the world.

A couple shouldn't demand love forcibly from each other. Love is natural, so the confidential talk of love is soft and beautiful.

Before marriage a man looks creepy and scary to a wife, but the woman's heart quickly changes after marriage.  After knowing this love, she would gratefully take a nap in her husband's bosom.  Such a woman will do whatever it takes to be with her husband as much as possible and ask him to come home for lunch.

Likewise, a man after knowing love, wants to sleep on his wife's lap whenever he finds leisure time, so he rushes right home at a coffee break or at lunch time. After marriage, he can do whatever the wife wants without a moment's hesitation -- even things that he formerly considered totally belonging to women. This is the typical change which takes place in a married couple with true love centered on God.


Return for Tomorrow's Post: God's Ideal True Family

This text was rewritten from speech given by Reverend Sun Myung Moon who is the founder of the Unification Church.

Homosexuality Root: Incest, Free Sex

We summarized in yesterday's post that the reason why religion views two men and two women as not a valid couple in front of God is because it doesn't have qualities of God's purpose for creating humanity. God endowed humans with the gift to inherit the three blessings: to be a True Olive tree like Jesus that bears good fruit; multiply with a True family not multiplying evil through children as we do now; and be co-creators with God in the creation.  No one has done that, and all marriages are conditional in front of God because we all are born with sin and can not have a True Marriage because we are not True Man or Women.  We even connect to God through a Messiah who is a True Man.

There are billions of people and billions more that have existed, and not one of them comes from the result of two men's bodies becoming a union or two women's bodies coming into union.  Furthermore, if this is the case, what is the purpose of people of the same sex having sexual relations in the first place if it does not result in the higher purpose God intended?  Is this union for the higher purpose of multiplying God's children or for selfish purposes?

Having established this, when the religious want to speak about homosexuality and lesbianism as wrong, their point is IGNORANT unless they make sure they do not leave out the fact that all relations outside the sight of God is a sin.  In fact the fall multiplies evil through the acts being inherited through the production of children, where homosexual acts do not produce children, and this sin can be eradicated through one generation, where other sins are perpetuated and passed on to each generation thereafter.

There are two methods to receive homosexuality.

All people receive odd and bad merit from their ancestors. Our ancestors have little choice whether or not merit is transferred to their descendants. When a person with a homosexual history dies, someone within seven generations of descendants will receive that desire and will either overcome the temptation or, if not, add more strength to the temptation.

The other method is when a person doesn't necessarily have any homosexuality in the ancestry, but becomes involved in it. Then it is something like a contagious disease, influencing the spirit world. It is this "spirit world" that makes it common for people with the homosexual orientation to recognize each other almost instantly. In some cases where people are fighting homosexual tendencies, the spiritual influence becomes more intense because of Satan's work through the spirit world.


Angels and Homosexuality

The angels did not have homosexual relationships originally, but since Lucifer and one third of the angelic realm fell under him, the result of the fall was the multiplication of evil and all kinds of perversions of the ideal. Fallen nature became so uncontrollable that it tried to multiply itself in every direction: incest, sex with animals, homosexuality, etc.

Do not make love in a manner shameful to God, humankind, or this earth. Until now, those groups advocating free sex who call themselves hippies or yippies all have such past experiences and have done everything imaginable, but was that for the self? Is that what love is? We must know that this is what destroys humanity, disgraces God's name and spits the blood of love on planet Earth. That is the same as spreading the original blood of human beings on the earth.

Since Satan knows that, in the Last Days, God will form His kingdom on earth, bring humankind to order, and cause them to enter His kingdom in heaven, the devil insists on behavior that is opposed to God. As a representative example, he completely crushed the one and only first love through free sex. First love was meant to be eternal, yet he turned it into a love between mutts and bitches. Heaven and earth became a world of such worthless love. This is the story of the human lifespan of seventy years.


Origin of Homosexuality

The fallen angel was not created by God as a fallen angel. Lucifer was created good (see Ezekiel 28:12-19). Lucifer originally had a status and a position of goodness. In that position he was to fulfill a role to guide or protect Adam and Eve in their growth to perfection (he is referred to as a covering cherub in Ezekiel 28:12-19). When the angel fell and tempted Eve, he was in fact also falling away from his God-ordained role, not unlike when a preacher called by and inspired by God, turns from that calling and misuses his position to further his own self-centered purpose.


Process to Bring Ruin
 
American youth have no ties to the world, their country, family or parents. Based on free sex, they accept homosexuals and lesbians, and deny masculinity and femininity. If this continues, humanity will all disappear within a century. How unspeakably pained must God's heart be as He looks upon this miserable state of humanity caught in the devil's spell! (208-265, 1990.11.20)

We must know that the hippie movement and the current problems of immorality and drugs are things that have all appeared as one aspect of the global communist strategy. Things such as free sex and the homosexual-lesbian movement are one form of behavior that destroys human rights and dignity. Viewed thus, the current destruction of the family, society and church has already reached its zenith, reaching a stage at which no individual, no theologian nor any state power can prevail against it. (128-33, 1983.6.1)

                      Timothy Kurek, straight Christian pretends to be gay for one year

I know America well. Americans talk about sexual freedom, this and that, have one-night stands and then say good-bye. Everything is based on individualism and self-vindication, and they don't like it if the self is not at the center. Greetings are diplomatic; they may look you in the eye, but the mind may be elsewhere. Emotions and lifestyle are based on expediency.

What kind of weapons did Satan use? He used an airborne weapon: that is smoking. Next, the liquid weapon is liquor; and then the solid weapon is drugs. Through these means, everything including your spirit is made to rot. He makes everything rot -- your body and spirit, and everything from the nostrils to the lungs. So those of faith who want to rid themselves of Satanic influence do not drink liquor or smoke cigarettes. These are the weapons Satan uses to destroy human beings.

These three things, which are elements that prevent one's spirit from communicating with God, are the enemy's best weapons. What comes next? Free sex that destroys the order of love. All these things the Lord of the Second Advent must put in good order single-handedly.

Free sex, homosexuality and lesbianism -- these things should not exist. In the Last Days, things that did not obviously exist in history have come to appear in the world in broad daylight. Things that could not possibly exist in this universe have come to appear openly. The order of love is now completely destroyed. We must know that is why America has now become the bottom of hell. The order of love is totally destroyed, and through using drugs, the physiological order of man and woman is totally destroyed. What that means is that young people will be ruined. Moral principles and order will be destroyed.


Immorality in America

The problems of the world today are serious. If you go to a place like America, you will see many gays among whom men are marrying each other and women are doing the same. Really, where can we find such laws? Physiologically, they are not made to be that way. After one generation their lineage will die out. Everything will be gone. Heavenly fortune will drive them out, and it is not as if their hearts will be happy. They will accept suffering as such, and more complicated problems will arise. Thus, subject and object partners will always coexist in a living environment. You must know this as you lead your life in society.

Free sex is indeed the wicked trend that we must completely eradicate from this planet. The elements that are related to free sex such as drugs, violence, homosexuality, and AIDS are driving humanity toward destruction.

Today, those that are gay appear and deny their parents; husbands do everything imaginable and wives likewise.

As true love is most precious, violating it is a universal crime. Immorality, juvenile promiscuity, family breakdown, incest, homosexuality, indescribable sex crimes, and so on are the reality of today. These cause God grief. The ideal of creation lies in the fulfillment of the family ideal which is based on sublime and eternal love, but why did it result in today's miserable way? We can say that in the Last Days the result of the Fall of the first ancestors is bearing fruit in displays of decadence, just like the seeds that were sown.

Americans do not understand that there is no foundation of true love in their nation. Ultimately, things will go to ruin because of false love. Couples, siblings and parent-child relations break up. Incest spreads and sweeps people into hell, destroying everything. Having come completely to the zero point, American society must be built anew.

Chicago and Los Angeles are the same as New York. All of America's big cities are the same. Satan thinks that if he can totally ruin the family, which is central to Christianity, by corrupting sexual morals through sexual liberation, then the foundation that has been established globally until now will collapse. So he injects everyone with free sex, and in that way people all become little satans.

If we ask whether Adam and Eve gave birth to sons and daughters before or after the Fall, nobody would say they gave birth before the Fall. Who took responsibility for their marriage for the sake of those sons and daughters? God cannot take responsibility for people whom He drove out. There is no doubt the marriage was conducted by Satan the devil.

Thus, Satan occupied the place, where God would have entered Adam's mind and where Adam and Eve would have fulfilled conjugally, and planted his fallen lineage there. Didn't they conceal their sexual parts after the Fall? If they had "eaten" with their mouths, they would have concealed their mouths and hands, but they did not do so. Those sexual parts became the basis of lineal resentment. Even the phrase "he ate her" has the same sexual meaning as it did in the Garden. Does this shock you?


Restoration of Adam and Eve

The two tablets inside the Ark of the Covenant refer to Adam and Eve -- they symbolize them. The most holy place refers to the sexual parts, which are inviolable. Didn't those who tried to touch it perish? The most holy place is that very place. Next came Aaron's staff with sprouts!

What is the staff?

It refers to eternal life. As new buds sprout from a dead staff, it means one will never die. Centering on what? Original love. You would die without love. Thus, new buds sprouted forth from Aaron's staff. Since there was such significance, it was laid and attended to in the sanctuary. The tabernacle symbolized God's body. The body is the sanctuary and the most holy place refers to the sexual organs.

Restoration of Sexual Organs

You must guard your sexual organs. We must launch a movement to guard the original organs. God created organs of pure love. You all must protect them. They are absolute organs. They are absolutely unidirectional. You must eternally follow the way of love connected to that absolute one direction. They are the organs God originally desired. People must know that they are the palaces of love, life, lineage, and conscience, where four palaces have gathered in one place. They are the most holy place. You must preserve their purity eternally.

The question is: how do we bequeath a tradition of absolute purity?

The people of Israel used to stone the offenders to death if this was defiled, but not today. It is more frightening than that. We cannot think even in our dreams of falling again before the heart of God who had to expel His only son and only daughter, Adam and Eve. Thus, the boundary must be declared. Those who are left behind on the day when that is declared are all the evil firstborn among all the firstborn left behind on Satan's side.

Where is the center of the universe?

It is in the family. Where is the base in which true love can settle? It is the family that you are living in. Therefore, the original family holds sway over universal love, experiencing the aspects of universal protection and expanding the realm of universal love; it must transcend itself to go the way of patriots loving their nation and then proceed to transcend the race and the nation by loving the world. Those who truly love their families are called devoted sons and daughters, and if those who love their nation devotedly are called patriots, then what are people who love humanity sacrificially called? They can only be called saints.

Had Adam and Eve not fallen, they would have established an ideal family and tribe, and their descendants would have formed a race and nation within the realm of God's direct love without the need of a Messiah, and these would have expanded and accomplished an ideal world in which Adam's ideals would also be realized. Just as the root, trunk, and leaves of a tree are connected as one living body, human beings centering on love, attending God as their Father above, and attending each other as siblings below, making them into one living body, turn themselves into beings of love and establish an eternal and ideal God-centered world. This was indeed the worldview of God's will.

People living in such a world do not require salvation or the Messiah because they are God's good sons and daughters.
