A Relationship With God is Fundamental for Life

Throughout history, man has tried to search for the true meaning of everlasting happiness and human behavior through philosophy and philosophers.

This quest leads them to ask the basic question of God's very existence.  Isn't this where every philosophical battle eventually ends up, to whether a being who created this world exists? 

We still have not reached a satisfactory conclusion which every philosopher and scientist can agree upon.  Even if they were to all take a vote and vote that He exist, would he exist from that moment on? 

What if they all voted that God did not exist?

Would such a being come into existence upon human realization that He exists or vice versa?

God does not fit into human logic too well.  Perhaps the last time you tried to explain or prove such an existence showed you how limited words or examples can be to your case.

How about your mind?  Are you able to show it and explain to someone.  If you were able to 100% understand you mind then you would have the capacity to recreate it from scratch from such knowledge.  Because you cannot know your mind totally, this shows the greatness of your mind. 


"Human beings have a mysterious aspect, and human logic can never perceive the greatness of God or human existence."


The same is for the explanation of God.  If you could explain His existence through logic then God would be small enough to fit into human logic. this would mean that humanity would be able to create God and know all about Him.

People of religion already know that there is a God, that He exists from beginning to end, and He exists throughout eternity.  He created all things and He occupies the central position.

We should clearly understand our relationship to God.

Humanity has tried several approaches to bring us closer to an understanding of this relationship, but this question remains unsettled.

Our relationship to God is the fundamental block to our existence.  A true, living relationship to God is fundamental to life that we should clarify this question.

Several religions have to come to the same principle which is common to all religions to clear up the confusion of what our relationship with God should be?

Is it like a friend, daughter/son or should we view God as an equal?  What is our true relationship with Him?

God wants us to understand this relationship to the ultimate sense - He definitely needs us human beings...why else would He create us?  Therefore, He will do everything possible to develop this relationship.


What is the most precious thing in your life?  Did you answer money or power?


When we look at this question deply, other thoughts emerge.  We conclude that the most precious thing is love - what we value most is tied to the element of love.

Second to love is life itself which is most precious.  We value these two things above all else.

If we have love and life, we need one thing further-an ideal.

Love, life an ideals are the most precious and profound in vlue and make our live woth living.

We all in some way wish fo eternal life.  Therefore, we naturally feel that we want our love and ideals to also be foreve, unchanging and unique.

We have seen writers who write about the beauty of eternal love.

Has there been a writer in history that has glorified love that changes day and night or ends forever?

There are many religions in the world which testify to the life beyond this one that we live on earth and testify to our desires for eternity.

The words 'love' and 'ideals' are empty and do not have meaning when they are isolated.  Love can only exist when there is someone to love and someone to be loved by.

Also, an ideal needs to be shared with someone. 

We are always in a position to be loved by someone in the subject position.  Things that are supremely important in human life can only come about through relationships.

Many think that humans are the cause of the universe, but how can we be the cause if we did not create ouselves?  Therefore, a subject or creator must xist.  This subject or cause is the essential reality.

Whatever name you choose for the cause does not matter; we should be certain of the cause as we are of our own existence.

We call the cause "God".  So, let's put our question to God:

God, what is the most precious thing in existence to you God?

 God will answer, "Love, life, and my ideal are the most precious things to me."

Think about this.  Does God need money?  Everything in creation belongs to God anyway.  He does not need money. He is already the Source of all power and knowledge.  God is all of these things, therefore, these two also He does not need. 

Instead, God wants to share and have give and take with someone ina reciprocal relationship.

Even though God is almighty, He cannot have love, life and ideal when He is alone.  This is why He created man and woman.

 

All human traits originate in God.

This is the meaning in the Bible where it states that humans are created in the image of God.

We reflect the characteristics of God like a mirror.  God is the Origin, therefore, our lvoe comes from the love of God.  Our life comes from the life of God, and so do our ideals.

The very dream that you wish to accomplish all your life comes from God.

God is the Subject of love, the Subject of life, and the Subject of ideals. We are the objects of love, the objects of life, and the objects of ideals.

Therefore, since God is an absolute being, we are also absolute.  Since God is eternal, His objects, men and women, are also created for eternity.  Otherwise, we would not reflect he nature of the eternal God.

If God is love, life and ideals, then He would be a God of defeat if He did not create a being with the same qualities.

 

 

God is the Subject to man and woman, and we are the objects to God.

Even though God is absolute, man and woman seem to reflect another type of being that is far from God.

When we as objects are not perfect as our Creator, then we cannot reflect fully the love, life and ideal of God.  God and humans are one.  Humans is incarnate of God. Man and woman are meant to be the visible form of God and God is the invisible form of man and woman.

Because we are the reflection and object of God whom He cannot feel love without us, this gives us as much importance and value as God Himself.

If man had followed God completely, there would be no question of His existence - HGe would have been a living reality to us.

In our present fallen, sinful ways, we should be very careful of our words and actions.  On the other hand, if humanity had obtained perfection, we would automatically reflect the universal, loving mind that is God.

There would be no religion to teach us about how to behave like God, or arguments of His existence.

One that is perfect would not be able to deny God.

If Adam and Eve had followed God and become mature in their love instead of following Lucifer's advice to give into their love in their immaturity they would have become true parents to Cain and Abel.  The good family tradition they envoked would have remained generation after generation.

Our relationship with God would not be a question - it would have been of perfect oneness; you would not be able to separate yourself from your own godly mind.  This would have been human perfection.

Such people who did not fall away from God would have become the nucleus of the universe.

Adam and Eve's perfect home life and children would have expanded to a heavenly society, nation and world.

Who would have been the center of this perfect universe or world of peace?

Instead of creating a hell on earth where "Satan was the ruler of this world", God and Adam and Eve would have formed the central axis of the universe.

Why did God need a perfect relationship with Adam and Eve?

First of all, God could only fulfill His ideal of true love through Adam and Eve.

Secondly, God who does not have a physical body would have been visible through working through men and women.

In other words, Adam and Eve were to be the phsyical manifestation of God through their perfected relationship with Him.  Thus, God could have a relationship with the visible, phsycial world through them.

What is God's reason for creating Adam and Eve?

Once Adam and Eve wre perfected on earth in a relationship of oneness of God, their spirit selves after passing to the next world would be like the body of God.  God would have been the mind of Adam and Eve and they would have been the spirit body of God.  Then God and people in the spirit world would have been eternally inseparable, one body.

Inside them God would dwell in their minds - God Himself would be the mind of Adam and Eve.

Unfortunately, due to our relationship with Lucifer's will and love, we have an inseparable relationship between the two. 

We come to speak about death and dying, but there is no such thing in the context of God's original world.  Instead of dying, we would have just passed to a new realm after giving up the physical body.  Your body would be the spirit and God would be the center of that body.

After we followed the will of Satan through our first human ancestors, all of God's ideals for a world of love and peace was separated from humanity until His first true son on earth fulfilled the responsibility to change the blood lineage to God's.

We are the Fruit of God's Love

God and human beings are related as parent and child, but how did this relationship come to be?

Where did the parent-child relationship between God and human beings begin?  If you were to meditate and ask what is the center of the universe, the answer would be the parent-child relationship.

If you ask God, "What is the center of heaven and earth? What is the root of the universe?" God would answer that it is the relationship between the father, his sons and daughters, the parent-child relationship.

This is more important than any other relationship.

One who doesn't understand the depth of this answer will think this refers to the relationship between a physical father and mother and their children.  We are speaking about the basic relationship with God.

God created human beings because being alone brings no stimulation. 

Joy comes through a relationship.

Even when God is alone, He cannot receive the stimulation of joy without a partner.  Thus, the purpose behind creation.

When we are in the position of God's partner, we receive the highest love.  Then God's internal becomes substantial through His partner.

If God is sorrowful, humankind will inevitably be sorrowful.  This is why humanity's relationship with God cannot be severed.

This is the conclusion.

What is so special about the parent-child relationship?

It is the highest place where father and son can meet at the central point where their love, life and ideals connect.  Then, love, life and ideals are in one place.

There, God is love, and so are we.  God is life and so are we.  God's ideals are our ideals.  The first place where these qualities can be established is in the parent-child relationship.

When God gives us love, how much would He want to give?  God's love does not have a set limit.  He would want to give to humanity infinitely.  Even after giving everything, God will say, "Because of you, I want to live in you."

Which sentiment makes this possible?

It is love.  Even if God had to live as a servant, he would be happy, just as long as that life were lived inside of love.  

Love transcends law.

Throughout fallen history, God never abandoned humanity.  He has been continuously giving his love to us.  He has done so without complaining.  He still gives you everything without reserve.

Why do you not give back to God?

It is the same as a spoiled child.  How can we be like this?

God is made of absolute love. He is still frustrated due to humanity severing a true direct relationship with Him.  He is not able to give all of his love.

He is limited by our choices.

God cannot assert Himself into anyone's lives.  Since God's purpose in creating man was to give perfect love, then even though the human world prohibits Him from doing so until now, He will still pour out His love to us.

When we think that our Father has unconditionally been giving to us, the better we feel.

If God was the type of person that says, "I have given everything, so now you give back," then there would not be a need for that type of God.

God is the Father of human beings, and human beings are God's sons and daughters. 

Since we fell away from the standard of God and followed another, we are at best God's adopted children awaiting the full restoration of our sinful fallen lineage to God's pure lineage through the Messiah.

God invested the core of His bone marrow when He created humanity.

If we pull on God, God cannot help but follow.  God created for the purpose of love.  That is why God likes to see a man and woman love each other.

For this reason, God appears in the world as the essence of love.

A child is the fruit, the manifestation of the parents' love, an extension of their life.

Children are the embodiment of their parents' ideals.

Children are born based on their parents' love, life and ideals.  Therefore the more the parents see them, the more loveable they become.  The more they become the ideal people, the more vibrant life becomes.

Human beings are born through the relationship of love as God's absolute partners. This is where God becomes Father and we become His sons and daughters.  

If there was a position that was higher than that, then humans would desire to occupy that position.  If there is something that is better, because human desire seeks the best, then God would have to give it to us.

Since God has this highest form of love, He is surely the Father of humankind and human beings are His sons and daughters.

Clearly, God created us with value.

If God created us without Him knowing this, then He would be an incomplete God.  But God is the Absolute Being and thus He created us as His absolute partners. 

What kind of being is God, the Creator of heaven and earth? He is a being of utmost goodness, the root of all things, and the Lord of love. 

God wanted to give all the precious things in the whole universe to humankind.  If there is someone that God could believe in and entrust everything to, He would pass on the most precious things to him in their entirety.

Since God is our Father, He wouldn't have created us as mediocre or incompetent partners.  Who would even want a spouse that is like this?

He created us to stand in an equal position to Him.  The all-knowing, all-powerful God  created us to be the same level.

Therefore, our conscience seeks the best.

Since God is the Absolute Being, why did He need to create human beings?  He did not create them for the sake of money, knowledge or power.  He created man so He could feel love.

If the connection between God and human beings are made, then absolutely nothing can sever the relationship of loving oneness between God and humankind.

In the creation of human beings, He invested every bit of Himself to fashion us into the most precious ideal perfect form.

Many believe God to be a being that demands to be worshiped, but God's reason for creating human beings is out of love.

God created Adam and Eve only wanting to exist for their sake.

An ideal being does not live for his own sake; an ideal being lives for the sake of others.

An ideal being lives for the sake of its object partner.  This principle is the basic core of the universe.

No matter how all-knowing, all-powerful, and absolute God may be, God cannot be happy all alone.

The words "happiness" and "it's good" do not have meaning if you are alone.  You can say life is good when you have give and take between a partner in a relationship.  Is there anyone who can truly say that they are happy when he is alone?

No matter how all-knowing and almighty God may be, He is not happy when He is alone. 

Let's say a singer was stuck on an island by himself.

Would he be happy if he had no one to listen to his song?  He will only be joyful when that give and take exists with a partner.  Likewise, God needs an object partner in order to experience joy.

God, by completely investing Himself, created His object of love because He needed an object of love. You cannot love by yourself. 

God created human beings as such objects of love because He, also cannot love without such objects of love.

The Bible says that God created us through the Word, but He was not lax with His work.  He created them by investing Himself 120 percent through excruciating hardship and difficulty.

When established Church members think about God's creation of heaven and the earth they focus on His omniscience and power.  Thereby, they believe simply that He created everything by His words within six physical days instead of time periods.

The creation did not, however, come about through any type of magic.

He created us through investing His entire being with a sincere heart.

This is why we love Him.  Just as we fully love something for which we have invested our utmost efforts and blood and flesh in.

We place what we have invested in the object of our sincerest hope because it is the core of our entire being.

God does not tell us to give everything for His sake, rather than Him instructing us to cleave to Him, He invests Himself.

He placed the starting point of of the ideal of world peace upon the principle of existing for the sake of others.

This is why God invested Himself for our sake.  From this viewpoint, we understand that God exists for mankind's sake.

What does God mean when He says, "I am love"?  He is teaching us to cherish love by night and day, during any activities even while dancing and crying.  In this manner, He could say, "I have love in its entirety."

Having love in its entirety means that everything was invested into it.

The one who cherishes love the most is God.

God possesses all of that love, yet once we get a taste of it, we are unable to let go of it even in death.

As an omniscient, omnipresent being, there is nothing God wants to withhold for Himself.  He already has everything, He lacks nothing.

What He values most and takes pride in, it is love.

Apart from love, God does not need anything.

How will we be able to bring completion to the ideal world God had in mind?  Surprisingly, it does not start with God, but with human beings.

Human beings were destined to stand at the center of creation.  For this reason, unless humanity who are God's object can become perfect, there is no way for God to become fully perfect.

This is because humankind and God are one.

What element makes us unite with God and His will?

Is it any of God's qualities: His omnipotence, omnipresence, power?  No. 

Then what should it be?  God is alive and dwells in the spirit world, transcendent of time and space.

What is the center of God's life.  God lives with love as His central focal point.  

God's focus from the very beginning was love and throughout His present course.  He will do so for eternity, live for love.  This is because when he has a true object of His love, God feels joy.

God has a storehouse of love which keeps replenishing itself even after He gives and gives from it.

Even if we were to steal a lot of love from this storehouse and give it out day and night, God would not punish us.  He would say that it was okay and that it was good.

He would even encourage us to take as much as we wanted and keep doing it forever.  There is always love left no matter how much we take.  That is why He is God.

God will say, "That is why I am the Subject. As the Subject Partner must have more than He can give to the object partner, otherwise I would not be God.  That is what I am like!"

If you want to steal love from God and distribute it like a power plant of love, He will supply as much as you need.

When God runs out of love, you will want to get more so you can connect to His pipeline of love.  God will say, "If you want, go ahead!"  This is how great God's love is.

Return for Tomorrow's Post: Your Parents are Your False Parents

This post was rewritten and derived from The Original Being of God Chapter One, Cheon Seong Gyeong Section 4

Want World Peace - Love God

To receive God's love, we have to turn around to save this world; we have to sacrifice ourselves. Therefore we must obey the commandment to love the Lord God with all our heart, all our mind, and all our spirit. With all our love, we must love God. This is the first commandment.


Reverend Sun Myung Moon


Because our world, nations, families and ourselves were built on the foundation of evil, God cannot exist in them.  We cannot love God this way.  This is why Jesus taught to love our neighbors as we love ourselves, love other families as we love our own.

Then the question arises, who is your neighbor and do you love them more than yourself?

It does not pertain to your brothers or sister, your neighbor is all other people in all other nations.  To go the way of love and love your neighbor, you do not put yourself first, you sacrifice yourself.

Without sacrifice we cannot perform God's love. 

As we receive Gods love, we have to sacrifice ourselves to love our neighbor.  The Bible states that we should love God with all of our heart, our minds and all of our spirit.  We might think that God is a dictator
demanding love and devotion from us.

On the contrary, all of these commands are not for God's own sake.

When we love God with all of our being, He will love us just as we love Him.  This is God's intention behind the commandment.  When we love God, he loves back.

God sacrifices the one He loves the most.

For God to love others, He sacrifices the one He love the most. The command which asks for us to love
Him with all our beings means to love Him with our life by sacrificing our life.  This teaching shows clearly why God had to sacrifice Jesus in order to love the whole world.

Because of such teachings, we call God love.  God is the greatest love.  An ideal nation that loves and sacrifices for others is different from those of Satan.  Satan always uses others to protect his own position, God makes His own sacrifice for others, not for God's sake. This is the difference between God and a dictator.

There should be an individual of such sacrificial character who is perfectly one with God.  We say there are many sacred men, but there is not more than one who is completely united with God's Will.  Only one person is truly united with God and His purpose. This person is the Messiah.

The Messiah does not come to save himself or a particular country, he comes to save the world.

The Messiah does not just appear, God has been making preparations to make a way for the Messiah through sacrificing men, families, tribes and nations.  To prepare for Jesus, the Israeli people were sacrificed.  To prepare for the Messiah's return, millions of Christians were sacrificed.

If the disciples had been united with Jesus and he was able to pave a way for the true family and nation, he would have been able to lay a foundation to save the world then.  Thus, the way of the cross would not have been necessary.

Thus, Jesus did not have a foundation to stand upon in which to sacrifice the nation and church for the whole world.  This led to the second choice of salvation through the cross to await his return to our time.

Jesus' people had a smaller notion than God.

They believed that when the Messiah came, it was to raise their nation to lead all other nation.  They did not think about sacrificing themselves.

Therefore Jesus prayed for a way to sacrifice the nation and people for the whole world. Then Jesus would not have been killed and he would have established God's nation on this earth through his true family. Then Israel would have been the first nation to sacrifice itself for the whole world.

Through the sacrifice of Jesus' body, Israel was lost and Jesus had to find another way to sacrifice his followers for the sake of the world.  Therefore, through many sacrifices of people of Christianity, it prospered when it had the spirit of sacrifice.

When Christianity lost this spirit, it declined and has become absorbed by the secular world.

The current churches try to establish a world of peace, but only center on their own nation, their own religion. This narrow scope will never open the way.  This is why in the last days at the Christ's return, a new spiritual movement whose people are willing to sacrifice for the whole world will grow and prosper.

We live in a world today where no nation is willing to sacrifice itself for the sake of the world.  Therefore, religion must sacrifice itself for a nation, and then that nation must sacrifice itself for the sake of the world.  The world then sacrifices itself for God.

Through this sacrificial spirit, God's ideal world will come about.  If this religious movement is in America, then the movement must sacrifice itself to save America.  This church should not work to multiply buildings, but should do the work to save the nation by sacrificing its own churches.

Through this spirit of sacrifice for the whole, that nation will come to eventually unite with the movement.  Then when this religion unites with the nation, together they must go forward to save the world through sacrificing themselves.

Therefore, without sacrifice, God's will cannot be realized.

We do not unite in this way for just one day or a special church holiday, we must do it for life, but no one likes to sacrifice themselves.  We think that we become less through sacrificing ourselves.  However, in sacrifice our value is not lost.

Sacrifice does not lead to destruction.  Even if one was to die while sacrificing, they will live on in history.  Someone will admire you for your sacrifice.  Jesus sacrificed his life for the world, and two thousand years later he is still remembered.  People of faith should sacrifice the comforts that the body desires to save the spirit.

Destruction came about through the fallen body taking over the good mind with its evil desires.  When our body and spirit become one on the individual level, we take this foundation and then sacrifice for our family.

Throughout history, saints and sages were not welcomed or understood in their time and were seen as complete failures.  Afterwards, they were praised as famous historical figures.  Because of their sacrifice, they did not fail and were honored.

We revere Jesus now as a prophet, but during his time he was rejected by his family, his church and even his disciples did not revere him as the savior of the nation, the son of God.  Jesus had nothing and he left the earth with nothing.  However, Jesus did not sacrifice for his own sake, but for the people and the whole world.

For this reason, Jesus' teachings have multiplied and had such a deep impact to the present day Christianity.  Buddha also went the same course.

When a man sacrifices himself for others, people will come later and bow to him and select him as the central figure.

If the youngest son of a family sacrificed and dedicated himself for the sake of the whole family, then even the father will tell him to be the center of the family. If a man served his friends with his life, they would not want him to leave.  If the man tried to leave, his friends would grab him and ask him not to leave.  

Finally, they would ask him to become their leader. One does not become a good friend without sacrifice, without serving.

The good father, mother, or son cannot be obtained without sacrifice.  A bad mother wants to take everything away from the family.  But if she serves the family and if a friend serves his friends, they will come.  They will also bring all his friends.

If the friend continues to serve throughout his life, such news of how he was as a friend will be spread all over the country and all people will come to him.  We come to destruction when we overcome others,  but the way to prosperity is to serve others.  This is the dividing point between God and Satan.

Egocentric works will fail and public spirited ones will live. 

Through going the way of the public men, we gain the individual, the family, tribe, nation and the whole world without fighting.  But if we can only think of our own self to gain our family and nation, we would have to fight and even if we win them over, they will not last long.

Therefore we cannot but conclude that the teaching of sacrifice is God's. 

Those who deny God say, "Mine is mine and yours is mine".   We must think, "Mine is yours, yours is the nation's, the nation is God's, and God is mine."

Love has the power to make two things one.  If I love God, then God's love is my love.  For example, if people love and respect the president, then they will also love his wife, although she may be uneducated.

The United States was once revered by many other countries, but now because of the immorality America is falling to destruction.  If the United States would serve the world, the world would do its best not to let her be destroyed.

God had raised Christianity to be able to bring His children to the truth in the Last Days, but is lacking in being able to follow the course of self sacrifice.  Therefore, a new movement has come that understands the individual sacrifices for the nation, and the nation for the world.

We must create programs, not to save ourselves, but save the millions of people of America.

This movement will sacrifice itself to save America, and once America is saved, she must serve the world standing on that foundation.

If you were to die while walking this course, you will not go to hell.  God saves His children through the sacrifice of His most beloved ones.  God's chosen ones are called to restore God's true nation.  Therefore, we should go beyond the thinking just for our nation.

Not only Communism, but Democracy is also declining because neither has been able to look past their own national desires.  Through the international weddings uniting former enemies through a Godly marriage, these national barriers are being broken.Through the struggle of Adam's sons, the world became evil.

So, in the last days, three sons must struggle and unite.  The nation that sacrifices the most for the sake of the world, will become the leading nation in the future.



Return for Tomorrow's Post: Two Sides to Man

How Will the Unified World be Established on Earth?

What Is Cause of Human Disunity w/God? Part 1

Somewhere in history, man and God separated and man was bequeath and riddled with sin that did not originate from God.  We know this occurred with the fall of the first humans endowed with God's spirit.  But how did this happen?  Can one pinpoint the true reason for this separation other than just saying disobedience and the eating of a fruit?

Human beings were born as children of the heart, but they had to grow up. In order to mature and be able to govern the universe, they had to turn around God. Thus, God has to come down to them, become one with the axis and turn the universe.

According to the Principle, the commandment, "Do not eat of the fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil," actually meant, "Wait until you become mature." That is to say, they had to wait until the central point was set, and until they were able to settle in that central point.

What comes first: love or self-awareness?

Love comes first. If that had actually happened, we would have been successful in everything. If that occurred, there would have been no walls or ravines on the path of life. Our life would have meshed with the gears of the heavenly principle and rotated smoothly. The great heavenly principle would have made this possible.

However the woman abandoned this principle and started out from self-awareness. According to the Bible what did she want to eat? When she looked at the fruit it was good for food and it was said to make her eyes open; at that moment Eve realized her ego.

This became the problem. Please understand that once you become aware of your own "self" and begin to assert yourself, you are already in the realm apt to be invaded by the cunning Satan, by your fallen nature! You must understand this clearly. (171-109, 1987.12.13)


Covering Their Sexual Parts Indicates What Kind of Sin

Into what did Satan drive his roots?

Into the body. God created Adam and Eve, but they fell when they were underage. God commanded them not to eat of the fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, but it was not a commandment concerning a literal fruit.

If they had plucked the fruit with their hands and eaten it with t heir mouths, then they would have hidden their hands and covered their mouths. So why did they cover their sexual parts?

This is a deadly trap, the cause of the destruction of human culture. The word "love" is the most sacred word, but why have words related to love become obscene in spite of this? Why do we consider them foul words? It is because the misuse of love destroyed the great Principle of heaven and earth.

What was it about the Fall that God could do nothing about it; what was it that made Him so powerless? Why is the Fall so hard to overcome? What is this about a fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil? If Adam and Eve ate a fruit, then why did they cover their sexual parts?

They defiled their bloodline.  Just as kings and queen are required to come from the direct blood lineage of 'royal blood', God's children were to inherit His bloodline, His seed.  The fact that they defiled their blood means that they defiled their life.

The fact that they defiled the life means that they defiled love. Human beings, who were supposed to become the nervous system within the great principle of heaven and earth, fell while in their youth.

Who violated the woman?

The archangel, the servant, violated God's daughter, Eve, who in the future was supposed to become God's queen and His external incarnation. The lineage was changed. You may be hearing this for the first time.

What is the fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil? Do you know what it is? It refers to the sexual part of the woman. In Korean, don't people say, "I picked and ate that woman" meaning, "I seduced her"?

The Korean language is curious. Men use this word, "I am going to pick and eat that woman." Even men who do not know the Bible say things like that. this tells the truth to a person's heart. Everything should be reported truthfully to our conscience. In the Last Days, people have to tell the truth.

Could the original sin appear through eating the fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil? Even if a father ate the fruit and thus committed a sin, what kind of fruit was it that made thousands of generations of his descendants into sinners?

It was a relationship that involved lineage. Once planted in the lineage, the root of sin continues eternally by the law of inheritance. This can only be possible through a relationship of love. Improper love is the cause of the Fall.

If human beings fell by eating the fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil as Christianity teaches, then restoration could be completed in one day. In this case God could just create something tastier and better than this fruit and feed it to human beings and this would become the condition of indemnification, would it not? Theoretically speaking, that would be correct. (38-164, 1971.1.3)

Where were Adam and Even supposed to meet each other?

They were to meet on a vertical line. They were supposed to become one in love. What is love adjusted to? It is adjusted to the center. This center is the sexual organs of a man and a woman. This is where love is adjusted to. The genitals of a man and a woman are so precious. Therefore, men and women must treat them with respect like they do God throughout their lives. This organ is the most holy place.

Why did Adam and Eve cover their sexual parts after the Fall? Christianity does not know. What? Did Adam and Eve eat a fruit? Why would God expel His beloved son and daughter? How serious the problem must have been that God had to expel them! (197-261, 1990.1.19)

Eve became the mother of two worlds. She came to stand in a midway position in between good and evil. Then, who must decide whether to follow the direction of good or evil? A person himself or herself must decide. In order to do so, one must crush evil and Satan and cling to God. One must cling to God with a power several times stronger than the power he or she uses to strike Satan. In order to strike evil you must exert all your strength. At the same time, you must cling to God with even greater force.

What was the Fall? In Christianity they say it was eating of the fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. Thus, they think that this was a fruit of an actual tree. However, a fruit cannot have the same value as a human being. Among all creatures, plants were originally created to be under human beings command. God did not create plants possessing elements that are able to cause the Fall of beings superior to them.

In established churches, they say that eating the fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil is the Fall. Such an interpretation is materialistic. If you say that a spiritual entity fell because a person ate something material, then how is it different from communist theory, which claims that spirit arises from matter?

Did the human spirit fall because someone ate something material on earth?

Can a spiritual being fall because a person cats something physical? If you say that the physical was degraded because of the spirit, that is understandable, but saying that a spiritual being fell because of matter does not make sense. It is materialism that states that the spirit is derived from matter.

The bible is full of parables, messages left for those with the ears to hear the spirit of truth.  The tree was a symbol, not a physical tree or fruit.


Symbol For the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil

The fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil is the crossroads of life and death
It is written in the Bible that God told Adam and Eve that they could freely eat the fruit of all the trees in the Garden of Eden, but as for fruit of the tree of life and the fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil that were in the center of the Garden, they were told not to even look at them or touch them. What does that mean?

What do all trees signify? Adam and Eve were brother and sister. so they could hold each other's hands, kiss each other, and do things like that, they could freely eat the fruit of all trees. However God obligated them not to touch the fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil and the fruit of the tree of life, that is, the male and female sexual organs. That is what He warned them about.

Do you know what the fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil was that caused the Fall of the first human ancestors?

The fruit signifies the sexual organs of the man and the woman. If you use these organs well, your nation will prosper, but if you misuse them, it will perish.

This is what this fruit is. It is true even for a king; if he uses this organ properly his nation will prosper, but if he errs in using it his nation will be destroyed. Because of this, families and societies are breaking down; because of this everything is divided into hell and heaven. The fruit of evil has ripened where the fruit of goodness should have been.

Isn't that the fruit of good and evil? Does everyone have the fruit of good and evil, or not? The sexual organs of a man and a woman are the fruit of good and evil. They are the head and mouth of a viper. Why did Jesus call Satan a viper? Why did he say Satan was a snake? This is the head of a snake. You must understand this. It is the head of a viper! Women and men are all after this, are they not? Is it that not so for both women and men? 

What is the fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil? If you misuse love, you inherit the eternal fruit of evil. If you love righteously, you inherit the eternal fruit of goodness. Is this fruit of good and evil an actual fruit? People who claim that the fruit is an actual fruit are crazy! This fruit refers to the male and female sexual organs.

Since the woman had a greater predisposition to fall than the man, God gave the warning, "Do not eat of the fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil!" If a woman meets a good person, her sexual organs bear a good fruit, but if she meets an evil man, they bear an evil fruit. The fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil refers to the female sexual organs. Does such a situation apply to men? No, it does not.

When God gave the warning to Adam and Eve not to eat of the fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, who did He actually give it to? He did not give it to Adam. In his adolescence, Adam was busy playing around, he came back home tired and soon went to sleep. The woman however would be sitting down and saying things like, "The sunlight is so warm! Oh, look! The flowers are blooming! The water is so clean and the air is so fresh!" Didn't she also say something like, I want to be as beautiful as a flower?" So in adolescent years women develop faster than men.

The fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil refers to the sexual organs.

These organs can bear either good or evil fruit. If a woman mixes with a bad man, she will receive a bad seed from him. But if she gets together with a good man, she will receive a good seed. Isn't that right? So the fruit refers to the female sexual organs. Eve fell and thus received the blood of the devil. The devil is an archangel. This archangel was the representative of the servants.

What would God give a warning about? After God created the ideal Adam and Eve, what conditions could there be that He had to warn them about? What do mothers and fathers warn their young sons and daughters about? What should young people be cautious of when they go out?

God followed the same reasoning. What should God be careful about? God does not need money. He does not need knowledge. He does not need power. He can always possess these things freely. However, even God cannot do as He pleases with love.

It is written the Bible, "When you eat of it (of the fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil), your eyes will be opened." (Gen. 3:5) What do the words "eyes will be opened" mean?

 For a man it means to know a woman, and for a woman it means to know a man; it means nothing else than the knowledge of the opposite sex. if you are born as a man and do not marry, you are foolish. What is the highest ideal? The summit of the highest ideal a man must reach is a woman. But what kind of woman? It is a woman who is a perfect match for his heart, a match for him when he is young, a match for him when he is old, a woman who matches him forever. Isn't that right?

When God created human beings, which part of them did He make most laboriously? Was it the eyes, the mouth, the nose or the hands? People do not even think about it. It was the stronghold of love. The term "stronghold of love" refers to the sexual parts of man and woman. These parts are the main palace of love. This is where man and woman learn about each other's love, and without this place they will not understand love. The owner of love can not appear.

Where is the royal palace of love, life and lineage? It is that important organ of the man and woman. It was the holy place at the time of God's creation. I am telling you it was the holy place. If it is invaded, everything is destroyed.

Three precious things are connected to this place. Love, life and lineage are connected to this place, are they not? The sexual organs are the origin of these three important elements.

From the viewpoint of God's original ideal of creation, the sexual organs are the most precious and holy place. This is the holy place, the holy of holies! The most holy place is not a place that just anyone can enter. No one except for the high priest, except for the person in charge, can open its door. The words "a fountain sealed" in the Song of Solomon in the Bible refer to this.

Sexual organs are so precious for they are the royal palace of life, love and lineage. But if you treat them like libertines, as if they were bull's balls, how are you going to pay the price of that sin? Isn't this a serious problem? This is a holy place. It is the most holy place, which God created as the most precious organ.

 What happens when it is defiled?

In Moses course, were not those who defiled the Ark of the Covenant killed on the spot? This is the same. Defiling the stronghold of love, which is the same as the most holy place, cannot be forgiven. Man and woman embrace each other. Loving each other is a cosmic act. It is the touchstone for forming the realm of oneness of God and humankind. In this moment man and woman are granted the relationship that connects the finite to the infinite.

When holy men and holy women join at the sexual organs through holy love, holy life and holy lineage and give birth to children, these children will go directly to the heavenly kingdom. They will not need religion or moral training.

When mind and body form a right angle, when love and all other aspects grow without any damage, so that the internal and external aspects of his or her personality are perfected, then the person can understand everything without being taught. I am like that.

What is the fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil? Until now it was a secret. No one could talk about it. It was the fault of our ancestors. Since the mistake was committed by our ancestors, this truth could not he made publicly known until the true ancestors came. Neither God nor Satan could reveal it.
