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.

Effects Sex Before Marriage on a Person

We unfortunately live in a society where people no longer wait for the person they are to marry to have sex.  Those who do are ridiculed and thought of as abnormal.

God intended for the fruit of sex to be opened between two marriage partners.

God being of love, would also participate in this event and the children which are born from this activity.

Many young people do not know the devastation from becoming sexually involved too soon has on their mind, spirit and developmental growth.

Therefore, we have listed six effects having sex outside of a secure relationship has on a person.  We continue from our discussion yesterday: Sex Before Marriage Disrupts Growth of Heart and Character


3. Guilt, Regret and Diminished Sense of Worth

In Genesis, Adam and Eve experienced shame after they ate of the fruit which produced the Fall.

Since sexuality is linked to the conscience, it is no surprise that misdirected love commonly yields a harvest of guilt and loss of self-respect.

When people have used the most valuable part of their bodies to gain pleasure or love or security, they cannot but feel degraded, even if they are not conscious of the loss for some time. 

Many experienced teenagers say they regret losing their virginity the way they did.

Both old and young men say that they are haunted with guilt that what was just a pleasurable ride for them was a moving expression of love and commitment for their partner.

Females are more sensitive to how something sacred has been violated with premature sex.

They may feel shame for violating the more of their parent’s or their faith community.

Abortions add weight to the partner’s distress.  Infidelity within marriage creates its own guilt-ridden hell for the cheater.

Once the cheater wakes up to the devastation they have caused to the lives of their loved one, the self-reproach can be crushing.

One counselor compares this guilt to having killed someone while driving.

Self-forgiveness can be a formidable challenge.

When one looks at sexual attractiveness and prowess as the important reason to have a romantic connection with another, this makes one judge people based on looks and not on who they are.  This behavior creates anxiety in their relationships.

When one is concerned on how they can use another just for sex and not the whole person as a criteria for a relationship, this causes one to have fear that there are more attractive people or those who can perform better.

“Do I still look good enough, perform well enough, please you enough?”


This is tragic when adultery brings this insecurity to the one place that should be safe and secure, the marriage bed.

This undermines the ideal that your partner is unique and irreplaceable.

Jennifer, 30, explains her experience: “The acceptance, even encouragement of premarital sex makes it very difficult to sustain the fantasy that we are the sole
object of love.”

Victims of infidelity often feel they have been trashed.

With this lowered self-esteem, one may enter into other sexual involvements just to prove that they are still desirable.

This leads to even more self-disrespect.

Thus, a vicious cycle of reaching approval through sex, not able to attain this, and thereby compounding one’s desperate need.


4. Heartbreak and Destructive Behavior


All infatuations or romantic involvements of some duration are painful when they break up.

But the break up of emotional ties and expectations of where the relationship was going is intensified even more when sex is introduced.

Studies have highlighted the role of certain brain chemicals in sexual bonding.

Even in casual liaisons, sex acts like a powerful glue which has no easy way to release its grip.

Hearts that bond through sex are unlikely to disengage without being ripped apart in some way.

This trauma, for some, can resemble the pain of divorce.

Others are able to numb or deny the pain through alcohol or pills.

Many men have said that they are so afraid of being hurt like that again that they withhold their hearts even though they give their body to another for moments of pleasure.

This is why young people are indifferent to sexual activity which one commentator called, “oddly disengaged—emotionally cool while physically hot.”

The heartbreak that is incurred and the sense that one has given themselves completely and only received a little in return, not including the fallout of diseases and unwanted pregnancies, can cause young people who engage in sex prematurely to live in despair.

The rate of teen suicide has tripled in the past 30 years in the U.S.  This is ths same time period where teenage sexual activity rose sharply.

Statistics show that girls who lose their virginity are more prone to commit suicide than virgins.  Male peers are more likely to be involved in destructive behavior, such as running away from home, drug use and getting arrested.

The emotional explosion that comes when one is sexually betrayed can lead to extreme rage or lead to violence against former or new lovers.

Other emotions can be exhibited from the break-up of a sexual liaisons: stalking, assualt and homicide when jealous lovers become a daily even.  Countless people live in fear of retaliation by an ex-lover.


5. Spiritual Disorientation


Uncommitted sex encourages a distorted spiritual outlook.

Whether one belongs to a certain religion, one may still have a negative outlook.  First, premature sex gives one the belief in one’s own supremacy of his or her ego.

When one has multiple sex partners, it implies that the ego is the ultimate reality.  One may believe that others are just ‘accessories’ to use and do not deserve commitment just come and go.

When one gets involved in a sexual bond while at the same time remain aloof from any emotional ties reflects an attempt to split body and soul.  They choose to ‘have sex’ rather than to be with a whole-person union with another.

This buys into the fiction that one who lives in this way may believe that they are free to express oneself through the body and independent.

This kind of reality is unspiritual and denies the connectedness of spirit and flesh and also of oneself.

This view of reality causes one to be pessimistic about the possibility of being faithful.  It also gives the viewpoint of the unreliability of the universe.

Hebrew prophets pointed out that God was absolutely faithful through His covenant and commitment to His children.

Since, humans are made in God’s likeness, the we should and could be faithful to one another in a lasting relationship.

This is the reason adultery is tied to idolatry - betraying the covenant God and ‘having an affair’ with another god.  Jeremiah 3.6, Hosea 1.2

Moving from partner to partner displays a fickleness that is a far cry from the steadfast divine love and the dependability of the created world.

When one treats the mystery of sexuality as just a plaything is irreverent in the extreme.

Religious people use dishonesty to reconcile their own unprincipled sexual behavior with their religious doctrines and perceptions of God.

This only intensifies the disorientation and damage to the spirit.


6. Degradation of Love, Life and Lineage


If one cannot respect the power of sex which allows humans to take on a divine creativity, then they will view few things as sacred.

When sex is cheapened, it tends to lead to a tainted view of its extensions such as love, life and lineage.

These traditional components seem optional and are disregarded when inconvenient.

Love has been degraded so in the dating scene that love is hardly mentioned when discussing sex.

This represents an anemic definition of love where fickle feelings are the focus.

Even in today’s society, a child conceived outside of marriage is still viewed as a curse rather than a blessing.

This is evidence that life and lineage is cheapened through nonmarital sex.

Now unwanted pregnancies is seen as an inconvenience to be taken care of with an afternoon abortion appointment like it was a dentist appointment.

When love is trivialized then life and lineage is tied in with disrespect for the gravity of sexual relations further reinforcing a person’s disorientation of spiritually. Not taking sex seriously, removes one from the Heart of God.

Carson Daly stated that this lowers one’s self-esteem and the feeling that one has been used.  One feels self-contempt for being an user.

Then there is the embarrassment being sexually active outside of marriage can place one out of the circle of people who exhibit true integrity.

The uneasiness that comes from concealing one’s activities from family members and others.

Also, Daly speaks about the extreme difficulty of trying to break the vicious cycle of compulsive sexual behavior, and the self-hatred that comes after each sexual bond is broken.  Then the cycle begins all over again when one has to seduce another in order to revive one’s fading self-image.


Harvest of Selfishness

Though selfishness has an intuitive link to conflict and evil, it is the selfish abuse of sexuality that gives it its most virulent power.


Egoism and being absorbed into oneself is the very definition of immaturity.

When an individual grows up and builds character, then these selfish traits tend to fade.  The big question is why do so many people fail to fully grow up to the full human potential?

Why do some grow to such maturity while other have shallow hearts and small minds and are enslaved to bad habits showing immature behavior close to an animal.

Adam and Eve’s abuse of sexual love is the most critical cause of the original disruption of human growth in morals.

People throughout the ages believe that there is evil and self-destructiveness within every human heart.

This flaw pulls human godly nature down, making it impossible for one to grow fully into their God-like maturity impossible.

Anthropologist Richard Heinberg has observed: “People of every culture and age have insisted that . . . human nature is not natural at all because it has been distorted by some fundamental mistake or failure that has been perpetuated from generation to
generation.”


Reverend Moon defines this fundamental problem as descent from a poisoned lineage, a family tree rooted in self-centered love that bears only fruit of self-centered love.

The forbidden fruit was a metaphor for sexual love, which was ‘picked’ when it was immature and unripe.  This fruit was toxic in flesh and within the seed.

The first ancestors’ unprincipled liaison fundamentally disrupted the matrix of family life. 

“Humanity lost the standard of true parents, spouses, siblings and children,” explains Reverend Moon.

Opening the sexual fruit in its immature state which all humanity inherited hinders the capacity for us to give the truest love and blindness to the true reality of the heart and spirit.  Also, it gave rise to the extreme difficulty of the mind to lead the fallen body.

Catholics call this tendency original sin.  Buddhism attributes this enslavement to the senses.  Judaism calls it an evil inclination.

Freud deemed it the sexual instinct - the most unruly side of the root of the unconscious.

This inheritance, revolving around the heart and sexual desire, derailed moral and spiritual development.

5 Myths About Sex Part I

In order to give credibility to the timeless sexual ethic in the present world, the prevailing mindset to have permissive sex needs to be refuted with sound arguments.

These facts need to be based upon good reasoning and contemporary research.



1. Is Sex a Primal Need?


The first misunderstanding about sex is that it is a need and an entitlement.

This is the foundation for all the other wrong assumptions about promiscuous sex because it carries a certain moral imperative: since sex is needed for people to be physically and mentally healthy, then it is unfair to deny them.

Therefore, since people think sex is a must, then it does not matter if one is married, young or have other concerns.

Plus, there is a moral pressure for the person who does not want sex by the one who claims they need sex to yield to their desires.

Now, because society believes sex is healthy and normal, the person who resists sexual advances have to explain themselves.

Because of this belief, many single people and even children pursue sexual involvement earlier.  Also, they do so in insecure situations they may not have been inclined to do.

Obviously there is no sexual ‘need’ - there is not one shred of scientific evidence that sexual inactivity causes a threat to anyone’s health or well-being.

No one has ever received medical treatment because of celibacy. 

On the other hand, there is mounting evidence of people being treated for sexual excesses and sometimes are told to be abstinent as their therapy.

This sexual ‘need’ is actually being confused with the need for genuine love.

Even though the human body desires to connect to another body, any other body, the heart has the need to connect to another heart, to love and be loved as an irreplaceable person.

This is actually what is necessary for the mental and physical health of a person, not sex.

Studies show that infants who lack attention or touch from caregivers perish and spouses often die of a broken heart soon after their partner passes away.

The specific need of adults is for the experience of marital love. 

Our spirit craves the sanctity of marriage for the emotional and spiritual rewards.

Sex is only one dimension of what is needed and desired.  The idea that sex is a need came from the distorted ideas of Freud.

Research shows that three percent, which is more than a hundred thousand, have been celibate throughout their whole lives and that millions worldwide have kept their virginity until the age of thirty and beyond without any ill effects.

Infidelity in marriage is the great exception.

When there is no opportunity for sex, the interest for sex has been known to drop down to zero.  Many married couples find themselves needing to schedule time to make love because they are too busy or forget the need.

Therefore, the ‘need’ for sex is not on the same level as the need for food or sleep.  If one neglects the need for food, this need asserts itself within a matter of hours and becomes stronger the longer it is deferred.  It does not lessen.

“Sex is a natural urge, but the role it plays in your life and the importance you attribute to it . . . is a matter of free choice,” concludes psychologist Peter Koestenbaum.

Sex researchers Masters and Johnson have stated, “In one respect, sex is like no other physical process . . . (it) can be denied indefinitely, even for a lifetime.”

Being abstinent can represent a redirection of erotic impulses.

Even though one may be married, they must maintain a large measure of self-control when their spouse is ill, pregnant, menstruating, busy at work or involved in the demands of being a parent.

The belief that sex as a “need” is oppressive.






It is oppressive for people to believe that the need the physical gratification of sexual impulses.

Sexual compulsion and exploitation of women increases.  It makes it hard for those  who are immature and weak to refuse their own or someone’s else’s sexual ‘need’.

Because of such a notion of need, then children and married people begin to doubt themselves if they do not have a desire for sex as much as they are pressured to have.

Therefore, they vulnerably push themselves into sexual involvement earlier and in an unsecure situation.

Teenagers speak of virginity as something they are happy to finally get rid of as there is a lot of pressure to do so.

It is very tragic that such innocence and authentic need for a committed love are often sacrificed on the altar of a physical ’need’.




2. Is One Partner for Life Unnatural?

The second mistaken notion of sex: It is natural to have many sexual partners.

This is because humanity compares their actions on the same level as animals.  Animals are not monogamous creatures.

Such people speak from evolutionary terms about the need to propagate the species through having many sexual liaisons.

From this viewpoint, people see monogamy and marriage as almost an impossibility.  They think that to withhold sex is contrary to our genetic makeup.

Despite what evolution has taught, humans differ from animals in obvious ways.

First, sex among animals is a seasonal matter and driven by instinct for just the sake of reproduction.

On the other hand, men and women enjoy a physical union more frequently than animals and the sake of pleasure between the two.

Secondly, animals come together without discrimination in regard of who their partner is.

In contrast, humans are spiritual beings with a need for meaningful and lasting love, but also to be loved as a specific and whole person.  Humans also need this love to be returned.

Thirdly, children require many years of parental investment in order to thrive.  This is unlike primates.

The kind of love which a child needs affects his resilience and capacity for being a great contribution to society.

When parents do not properly take care of their children, this does not make sense even from a species-survival mentality.

It is natural for men and women to bond for life to care for each other and the children they have.

Many other mammals take care of their young.

When those compare themselves to animals who have multiple partners, this evidence refutes this matter.

Therefore, those who have a tendency to get involved in temporary sexual liaisons because of immaturity, bad conditioning and because of the Fall.

Humans have the natural tendency to let the body dominate the mind.  This is not a ‘natural’ state from God or even evolutionary traits.

This post was rewritten and derived from the religious textbook, “Educating for True Love” written by a team of writers to explain the philosophy of Reverend Sun Myung Moon.

Pompeii, Roman Empire Fell From Within

One individual may seem to be very insignificant, but each one is the product of history. 

This person represents the history of the past, present and future of his family, nation and also world.

Nowadays, we think that ancient nations are isolated and separated from the rest of the world, but in this day and age all of the nations are united by one destiny.

The societies and cultures of the world are becoming mixed together moving toward a united world.

The world of nature is already one in perfect harmony. 

Take for example the fact that the air we breathe can travel all over the world without any limitation.  A storm doesn't just stay in one confined area, but moves across whole continents and oceans.

Flocks of birds also migrate over the whole continent of North America.  Once the birds return, it is a refreshing reminder that a new season has arrived.

Nature harmoniously intermingles without conflict, but what about men who are placed higher than the natural world?  Men put up tremendous barriers and obstacles between each other.  Just to go from America to Canada, one has to get a visa and check through customs.  Does anyone enjoy this kind of procedure?

Some nations in Asia observe a better system where travelers only need a passport.

Some nations don't even want to see a passport and think it a dull system.  With this kind of trusting treatment from such a nation, you hope God's blessing on that country.

Why does the human world which is higher than nature, experience such division and deapartments?!

Basically, it is because men do not bide in accordance with some principles or standards.

In order to have harmony, men must live in accordance with some basic principle.

A law or principle is always enacted to benefit the nation or all of humanity.

Not just one individual.  This is unavoidable no matter how inconvenient it is, because some people disregard that particular principle so it must be reinforced.

Throughout their life, everyone acquires certain habits which becomes a long-lasting behavior.    Families as well as societies also collect habits which develop into what we label as traditions or cultural behavior.

Great thinkers will try to come up with a simple way of living in the world that will unify the world and get rid of the division and separate ways of living.

They will wonder why there can't be certain laws created that can be liked by everyone on earth that will promote and guarantee that everyone profits and benefits with those laws.

Those unifying laws must have continuity between the past, present and future and must not serve different purposes at different times.


The President of the United States is responsible for America, and a President of the world would think about the world.  Those two presidents and God would all be thinking differently because their areas of responsibility are separate. We have to consider what would be of benefit to America, the world and the whole universe at the same time.


From the American viewpoint, the most important thing would be national sovereignty or power.

Cruel things are going on in the name of national security. 

There is a lot of underhanded dirty activity in order to maintain superiority in knowledge.

For instance, if a person was a double agent, after his mission and purpose is accomplished, he may be murdered in the name of protecting national sovereignty.

There are power struggles in the financial world and competition between nation over computer technology.  Would these be the most important things a nation needs?

Of course love is needed.

You can't live off of love, so why do you like it?  What does love do for you when you are hungry?  Love can't produce money, knowledge or power either.


There must be some law that can be enacted which, from the point of view of God and religion, will protect and advance the benefit of all mankind. There must be a solution for the world.  America has power and sovereignty, plus lots of money and knowledge, so it seems to have everything. But is it declining or continuing to prosper? 


Will American wealth be able to stop this decline?  What about Christianity in America, is it declining or increasing?  What about teens in America?  Are they rising and moving forward or morally corrupt?
Not only are the youth declining, but they are just the same as living corpses with no future.

What about New York and other big cities in America?  Is it declining or staying prosperous?

America is also losing its edge in technology. 

Ask God what it can do.  The supremacy of white influence is fast declining.  Black and yellow people are quickly gaining.  The Japanese are making high-quality products that are less expensive than those that the Western nations produce.

Even in the sports area, other nations see that black people emerge as the champions.  People in other nations may only see America through watching sports, so they may think that because blacks dominate sports that America is a black nation.

Black people are rising and also in the music industry and now with the first black president,

We can see that in history, the powerful Roman empire collapsed not from an external war, but through immorality within its own national boundaries tearing it at its fabric of the nation.

The famous city of Pompeii was destroyed by a volcano.  Centuries later through excavation it was  seen why: the citizens of Pompeii were focused only on free sex, drinking and sensual ungodly pleasures.

History shows us one important law-whenever a society becomes morally corrupt it faces a quick downfall. 

This is not just someone's opinion, this is a lesson of history.

It does not matter what culture, race or nation you belong.  Even if you are wealthy, this law is consistent.  Moral corruption is an incurable disease.  It usually takes over a nation with its infestation which has much money, power and knowledge.

It is easy to see that America today is in the same position as the Roman Empire was centuries ago.  America has the wealth, power, resources and knowledge.  Everyone thinks it is a great country, but in reality the people within suffer from the worst internal disease.

History shows that any nation that catches this disease always declined, no matter how high they have climbed.  No nation has ever been cured of this immoral disease, just destroyed.

One symptom: the youth are given no discipline in how to run their lives.

They become promiscuous. This behavior multiplies through the family leading the nation to become undisciplined and permissive as well.  When you see that arrogance of the American people you wonder how under these condition such prosperity can continue.

The greatest disease is not that of poverty. Poverty can be cured.

Poverty can be cured through determination to develop an economic capacity and through hard work and industriousness.  Knowledge is gained by hard study, power gained through unity of effort,
 by hard work and applying some ingenuity to developing an economic capacity.

But this disease we see of illicit love is not easily cured.  This love disease which spreads throughout America, is worse than the war on drugs.  Because if it drains one's motivation to be good and productive.

When a person catches this love disease, he does not care about money, knowledge or the well-being of his country.

That disease is terminal because it leads to destruction.

Can you say that Americans are close to enjoying the ideal love in their lives, or are they far away?

What if your father was very successful, but he and your mother fought so much that they divorced.? It would not mater how much money you have, he would still look like a miserable man.

When children become involved in immoral practices, their parents also become weakened. 

Why do we need love?

How is it possible for love to be strong enough to solve all human problems?

God made love supremely powerful.  This has not changed all throughout history.  Therefore, when love is used in the right way, it is the most constructive.  This will not change in the present or the future.

America is a great country with a Constitution and a code of law.  But this country is like a desert in the area of love.

American people's way of thinking can be corrupted.  They might not see anything wrong with a mother and son having relations.

Promiscuous sex makes humans look like animals, which have no rules about love. 

Humanity is corrupted through the misuse of love.

There has never been an outbreak of sexual diseases in the animal world because they do not have a spirit.  Venereal diseases are rampant in America; most young people have experienced it at one time.
It does not matter how much money one has, what kind of children, or fruit will they bare?

Why does man who is supposed to be higher than the animal kingdom experience such diseases?

God gave it as a punishment, as proof that the law of love is one that even He can and will not bend for anybody under any circumstances.

America's problem is not a shortage of money or knowledge or power, but one of love. 

Mother Teresa had made a statement after working hard for the sick and diseased in India that when she came to America when drugs were becoming rampant, that she could cure the sick in India, but the spiritual and love problem of America was a tougher cause.

Americans should be asking themselves, what can they do to help remedy this situation?

Before learning about this sacred law of keeping our sexual organs for only our spouse and joining the church, you may have been promiscuous or had a sexual disease.  Now, you understand that love is supremely powerful and unchanging from past, present and future.

Love has been misused and has led man into ultimate destruction, so we must look for some discipline of love.

Through true love we should be able to bring man back to God's original purpose and achieve again unchanging prosperity.

Where would we be able to find such discipline?

God would not worry about money or power or knowledge when He is trying to correct the human problems.  His efforts will be focused on solving the problem of love.  The misuse of love is where the root of the problem lies.

God's concern is far more than the salvation of men; He plans for the salvation of love. 

Once we are able to place love back into its original position as God planned at the Creation, then we have solved the problems of the past, present and future.  We then bring mankind back to the original ideal God designed.

Many people of faith forget the main function of the religious mission which is to solve the basic human problems.  They can get lost in the traditions, judgments and battles among themselves..  What use is it for God to save you, if you are to abuse love again?

If you just keep repeating the same mistakes of the fall, which is the misuse of the sexual organs, what good does this do for God's dispensation?

A true policymaker in Washington would be one who places his concerns about America's future for the next one hundred thousand years using this kind of high-level thinking.

What if America continued on the way it is head?

What kind of family would we see in the future?  What would be the relationship between children and parents, and brothers and sisters?  Also, those who love nation and all of humanity should concentrate to find solutions of love.

They should find the kind of discipline that is necessary for a happy home and family for the generations to come.

Many people, like in the Israelites time, anticipate that the Messiah will return to save them.  But he does not return just for the development of one nation or to build up economic strength.  These are secondary.

The Messiah comes for the primary salvation of love.  

He will teach to discipline the standard of love which will enable it to blossom into the concept God envisioned in His original ideal. This kind of love has the power to create the ideal family and world for which we long.

The world doesn't need any other kind of Messiah, but the one who comes for this one purpose.

Many people view the economic and political turmoil as the number one human problem.  The Messiah understands that the problem of love is the major problem we face today.  By solving this problem, we can help render other problems.

The Messiah comes to bring judgment to society's corrupt moral standard: clean up adultery, homosexuality and sex before marriage.

Promiscuity is the worst disease man is suffering from, for which man has no hope.

The Messiah lifts them up through the Completed Testament to a higher level of love.

God searches for people to be part of a movement here on earth which is dedicated to solving this basic moral problem.  This group and the solution to this problem can be only found in the religious world.

The Islamic world has strict regulations on how women dress and conduct themselves which goes too far.

On the other hand, American women go the other extreme and wear less and less clothing and people hug and kiss wildly in the street.

Would any man want to see his fiancée or wife embracing another man?

A man is very generous minded compared to woman, but even so he cannot stand seeing his woman hugging another man. If a woman saw her man hugging another woman, her tiny mind just couldn't stand it!

Is there any difference between Eastern and Western women in this respect?

Has this standard changed over the centuries?  What about in the future?  Whether you are in primary school or a university professor you know this standard is true.

Is it bad to have money?

If it is nicer to have more money than less money, and more knowledge than less knowledge, then isn't it better to have more husbands and wives? Here in America children frequently have more than one mother and father because their parents marry several times.

Wouldn't you enjoy having that many parents so you can have many allowances and gifts on holidays?

Is this a sign of happiness to have this many husbands and parents?

This is a sure sign of tragedy.

No one truly wants more than one mother and one father, but who will bring the solution to this marriage problem in America?

America would not allow a dictator to rule, but if he was to put love in it proper perspective, they may vote and welcome him.


If you ask what we can do because we don't have enough money, you aren't asking the right question. If you ask what we can do if we don't have enough power or knowledge, you still aren't asking the right question. But, if you ask how we can bring a standard and discipline of love then you are on the right track.

If a little nation has no power, money or knowledge but it does have a discipline of love and lives morally in the sight of God, that nation will not envy another nation. 

That nation already has everything it needs for its citizen's happiness.

Eventually, people from other places will bring prosperity to that small nation and go there to live because they see that nothing else brings happiness.  People who have finally lost hope in love are like leaves fallen from the tree.

Why is a supposedly Christian nation such as America suffering from the disease of the misuse of love?

The Bible is specific about God-centered love, but America has become degraded from its original godly path.   Why do we keep shying away from this question?  Why doesn't the church teach about the proper use of sex?

God does not tolerate this kind of behavior in America.  Christian ministers are unable to escape the clenched fist of God's judgement on these matters


Decades ago, I predicted that America would decline. What can we do here? We do fund raising because we are here to make lots of money, right? Are we here to get smart and be knowledgeable? Are we here to get political power? If you don't have those things then what is left?


In the meantime, as you do the work in the Completed Testament age, you are persecuted and ridiculed.  Father has been accused of having evil intentions in his efforts to save American society from its immoral behavior.

Why is this so?  He is the secret source to help.  So, God tells the people who try to get rid of him that they cannot do it because they need him like a sick person needs a doctor.

Father's messianic work in America is powerful.

He was able to break down the barriers between the East and the West, and between the whites and the blacks.  He set up God's standard of discipline for love.

Anyone who is interested in genuine, pure true love has to study Rev. Moon and his teachings.  This would include national and world leaders. "I have a very real power which no other leader has: young people want my permission to love through arranged marriages. That's real power, isn't it?"

The time is here for all five races to gather and ask the question, "What can we do, God, in order to find the right love so we can be saved and we can prosper? We need only true love!" 

How serious are you in finding true love and the solution tp the misuse of true love?

Would you stand or bend fervently on your knees praying?  Would you smile or have teared-stained cheeks, nose and mouth dripping?  Are you that serious?

Right now, you receive many curses from people.  Let them do so.  In the future, many people will inevitably be climbing over walls to attend lectures to learn the solution for love.

People of faith must take responsibility for the historical problem of love and ask Him for permission to take care the problem for Him.  If you were to ask Him what was the most serious problem He ever had to face in human history, He would replay: "Yes, the problem of love has pierced my heart over and over all these years more than any other problem." That is God's primary problem and work.



Return for Tomorrow's Post: Love is the Bait


This post was rewritten and derived from the speech What Shall We Do?

Hollywood Repents, Sort of

Colin Farrell "I'm just grateful I'm actually alive"

Hollywood Repents, Sort of

Written by Denise Rochelle M.

Is it just me or is Hollywood growing up?  There was the sexual revolution, and I think we are about to go in reverse in this new millennium.  What would that be called?  We rarely see Hollywood stars who travel down the wrong pathway of drugs and self-destruction survive and reverse their actions.  So, when we do witness those who do change their lives, we should make these actions known as well.


I truly love Hollywood, and I love movie making and I love, love, love Los Angeles.  I recently moved from Los Angeles a little over a year ago and saw it from a different view while living in Santa Monica.  I witnessed about Jesus and the Messiah's return in our time to several people in the business and people just passing through.  The lifestyles that I witnessed was a life that turned my dreams of Hollywood to being in the industry and revise my plan of reforming Hollywood. 

It was extremely easy to have people in the industry support your peace ideals, but when it came time to bring values onto the table such as waiting for marriage and God we would never see people again.  What's the big deal about morals and Hollywood, what's the connection?  These individuals' lives values are streamlined into your home and onto our society whether we believe Hollywood has that responsibility or not. 

When we adults were growing up, values were pushed hard about family, shows I grew up with promoted chastity and they were not afraid to profess God.  The argument that shows just reflect reality, I beg to differ.  Too many people complain that Hollywood does not show reality of people who do abstain from sex, do not take drugs, are respectful etc. etc.    Christian television networks do not count.  But I digress.

Hollywood needs a reformation in morals.  It spreads its immorality all over the world, and is one of the reasons why many are losing favor of the United States because some cultures hate how Hollywood introduces promiscuous sex and evil behavior to their society as pleasing and fruitful. 

Recently Colin Farrell said in an article that he was coming clean about his drinking and being in a fog everyday for 18 years.  There is only so much sex, drinking and 'exciting' devious ways we can experience before we see that while it is different and stimulating on the outside, it becomes boring and does not fill the hole that they feel within eternally.

Colin Farrell admits that even the birth of his first child made him determine NOT to change his lifestyle and be his son's best friend like the cool dad - a DILF(kids say Dad I Like to Fu*k).  His answer to this after maturing with his son now 8 shows he is growing, "Like a (expletive) 28-year-old drug-addicted drunk friend is exactly what my 6-week-old son needs."  Farrell is realizing that he wants to be present and is grateful to be alive for his children. 

Teens who follow Drew Barrymore, would probably never believe her past of drinking, drugs and wild behavior.  "I'm a Barrrymore, keep those drinks coming!" was her anthem.  Miraculously Barrymore was another star who had the guise of prayer from someone who loved her to protect her during those lost years even turning to divorcing her parents.  For her to rise on top and come clean, keep her stardom and get a chance to start over should be praised.  Where is her tell all to help those who are going down the wrong path that it is possible to have second and third chances?

I adore Barrymore because she has been genuine and truthful about her battles and losses since ET and I think this is what saved her as well by not hiding her transgressions or making excuses.  There is one quote that she said that is very enlightening that we should fight sadness like we are fighting an evil dragon everyday.  This explains her giddiness throughout her trials and how it is not fake. 

The picture above is Pink who says that she admits she was wild and crazy not too long ago.  She went from singing a song about losing her husband almost to divorce to being married and with a child.  She has to know that divine intervention helped her restructure her life and she testifies to her changed ways and loves motherhood.  She says she finds it hard to remember what she did with her time beforehand.

Why do these few cases matter?  Because like it or not, Parents, Hollywood and media is raising your children and reinforcing bad behavior as lucrative, sexy, happy and not harmful.  We should acknowledge the actors who are changing their dark path as well as show the fruit of fallen stars actions to demonstrate to children the consequences of choosing the dark path. 



Nicole Richie left wild past settles down with Joel Madden and their
two children

It is impossible to completely erase negative influences from our children.  I personally know tens of families who take television, privileges you name it, lock their children into a safe environment of others with the same values, follow everyday faith practices and still, somehow, their children end up cursing and acting like obnoxious teens who act out.  What? 

My parents were the strictest around and very scary when it came to values.  I had curfews and it all, you name it.  One value my parents did place was rules and consequences.  That was it.  They did not tell me not to watch bad shows, not to have sex, not to listen to bad music as much as encourage me what I could do that was positive.  They encouraged me to do more good things than brought up the bad things which became less interesting to me when I saw friends delving into it.  Piano, afterschool job, band, babysitting the whole neighborhood etc.  I think bad behavior comes from boredom, too much time on hand, and teens not having other choices for clean fun.


So, even though I ended up being in the same room as kids who drink, smoked weed and had friends who did everything they wanted by staying out all hours, my parents ultimately gave me a choice. 

Parents should do the same as far as not fear Hollywood, and society, but reinforce the good more than the bad, because we all know children want to follow the bad because let us face it, it is exciting for awhile before the consequences hits.

I see a revolution in Hollywood taking place.  Marriage, coming clean, regrets, and the realization how their wild lifestyle was...actually boring is taking place.  I think our society definitely should not shun the evils of the world from our children, they will find it in the worst way if we shelter them completely from the realities without giving them alternatives. 

Saying all of this, I do wish that Hollywood would include more positive options in movies and television other than just showing serial daters, non-married people jumping into bed and sexual innuendos even in children shows.  Isn't there other lifestyles and more fun ways people on earth spend their time? 

So, because there is so little positive in Tinseltown, we should celebrate the good things as well and praise these more.  I guarantee, being a dictator and taking all that is bad from their eyes and leave them no positive options, our worse nightmares come true.  I can only appreciate in my older age my strict Christian parents gave me choices at 16 and asked me what I wanted to do after raising me to make the right choices.  So to this fact, we can not blame Hollywood directly because we need to teach our children the right way and give them better options.

Now only if Hollywood would do something about the names they give their babies.  Well, it is actually cute.  Olive and Apple, which are two real names, are ready to inherit the lineage of their parent's genes for entertaining the world.


Return for Tomorrow's post: The Messiah Needs You

I I have studied the religious textbook, the Divine Principle, for seven years which has the philosophy of the Completed Testament.  Not an addition to the bible or New Testament, but put simply showing the hidden truth of the bible that the Messiah promised that would become clear in the Last Days that he would no longer speak in parables and symbols but tell plainly of the Father.
