Importance of Lineage to World Peace

Jesus's Lineage

Many people do not consider how Jesus, who was born of a woman like you and me, became a True Son of God.  The shortcut answer is through lineage.  Through a family who made sacrifices and conditions for God to bring His first son.

Remember those 1800's movies that had aristocrats proclaiming that they were the heir to this empire, they were this person's son, or born of this or that family name and they made it such a big deal? 

Lineage was very important to our ancestors.  The bloodline also was important toward ones station in society which was almost ironclad. Those born to a wealthy lineage all enjoyed its luxuries, and those that were born to the lower class stayed there indefinitely. 

The same goes for the biblical history.  It was very important where one originated.  You were almost nothing separated from your family or name.  It mattered more who your family's history and position was.

Jesus was no different.  Throughout history, God meticulously had certain women throughout Jesus's lineage who follow His orders to restore what had happened through the fall.  In the Garden of Eden, a woman went against God's commandment then tricked her husband into doing the same.  And throughout Jesus's lineage you can see the same instances.  But God was reversing the history of the fall leading to purifying the bloodline of Jesus.

Women did seemingly odd things in the bible in order to reverse Eve's mistake. This explains the story of Judah and Tamar.  The story of a woman who pretended to be a prostitute in order to have a son from his lineage. 

She had alreamarried two of his sons that had died before she could bare their children.  Judah was the last hope for her to bare children from his lineage, yet he refused to marry her or let her marry his last living son for fear he would die like his other two sons who were with her.

This is the reason she disguised herself as a prostitute to be with him and asked for his staff for payment.  When the village people wanted to stone her for being pregnant without a husband, she showed them Judah's staff.  People wonder how this was a positive, and how such a woman was important to Jesus's lineage. 

Through a woman deceiving her husband upons Satan's lie, all of man has been born into sin.  Through God's providence, Tamar was one process of reversing the bloodline of Jesus, and thus purifying it.

This is one story of how Jesus was able to be born without the original sin.

If Jesus's lineage was cleansed through woman on earth, don't you think that God has that same dream and responsibility for you and me, or are we forever doomed to be born into sin?

We already know if there were a world full of Jesus's, families of love, societies and nations that had Jesus as a President, World Peace would be established. Thus, the cleansing of your lineage and mine will lead to World Peace.

So we learn that Jesus did this by dying on the cross so we can inherit his blood.  So why are we still born into sin if Jesus died for our sin?  No one could completely answer this except with a lukewarm answer that when the faithful die, God takes away the sin and they go to heaven.  This is unsatisfactory as it still does not explain why humans still have sin while walking the earth and bore children of sin.

We still suffer from sin even though we are devout followers of religion, even if you beat yourself to keep from doing awful things, you still are inflicted with desires you don't want.  Hasn't anyone wondered why this is so?

This is why the Messiah returns.  He will separate us once and for all from sin and Satan.  He will return to graft us into his unfallen lineage and connect us to God's lineage - period.  We will finally be able to cleanse our blood lineage while on earth just as Jesus had done.

Importance of Family Lineage

Lineage is more important than life, and is eternal; life is less than 100 years.  Lineage is not established as long as there is no life and no love.  So, among the three, which is more important - love, life or lineage? 

Lineage is the fruit of the ancestor's life and actions.  God's own lineage contains the seeds of true love.  God's lineage embodies the environment that leads to a true life.

Hence, for us to become the ideal people envisioned by God, that is, people of ideal character, and to create ideal families, we first need to be linked to His lineage.

To take it a step further, only when we are linked to God's lineage is it possible to create God's homeland, the ideal nation. Only when we are linked to God's lineage is it possible to establish the kingdom of the peaceful, ideal world.

The importance of lineage should be inscribed in every human's heart, but somewhere along the way, family name and importance of bloodline fell away.  The relationship between parent and child is the only way to obtain God's lineage.  This is because the parent-child relationship is the highest and the most important of all relationships.

Instead, we inherited false love, false life, false lineage which has infested the whole world.  Heaven and earth were choked and transformed into hell on earth.  Our world is far from God's presence and is a wretched place.  Yet many people either deny this or are not aware of this.

We believe that we need this false lineage of the enemy and hold tenaciously to its way.  The horrible truth about each of us is that we descended from "The Fall".  God looks at humanity like any parent would - with a heart full of pain.

God is like a father that sweat all of this life to gather assets for his children to live comfortably with for generations and eternity.  Then a thief came and stole the land, his children all in one night.  Who has ever consoled God's sorrowful heart or felt pain for God's situation? 

Satan stole God's lineage, God's children. God was sadly forced to hand over the ownership and his dream of World Peace to Satan. There is only way to save the lineage of God.  It is through the right of ownership.  It is the path of Satan voluntarily surrendering his domination and giving it back to God.  

What is the secret to accomplishing this?

It is only possible through the power of (God-centered) true love.  A power so strong that only comes about when we love our enemies more than we love our own children.

Free Will and World Peace

Today's post is not a repost.  I wasn't prepared for this subject a month ago, and had to do more research reading the Divine Principle to be able to accurately write today's topic.

 

The Bruce Willis movie "The Fifth Element" comes the closest to visualizing the concept of a perfect human being, and introduces the ideology that humanity was meant to be perfect - not just Jesus. 

Even though the movie only showed only an outwardly projection of perfection, the clone was beautiful and had superhuman strength and intelligence, the film still had a sense that humans all wish to obtain this perfection.

 

Mostly movies show humans obtaining perfection through mutations, cloning, using the highest technology and attaching ourselves to it.  Or worse, through humanity serving robots like in the Matrix or Terminator.  

In reality, the latest robot technology brings scientist closer to the dream of a better world.  Yet not as we imagined in the movies.

 

With Perfection, Technology Becomes Asset



 

Why do we love robot movies so much or movies that portray humans at their highest level?  Because humans were created to be in a higher position than we are now.  Whenever we here that a futuristic movie is showing up, our original good mind that connects us to God is peaked - we know this is where we should be. 

Do you know if Adam and Eve had followed God's word in the beginning, by the time of Noah, they would be able to relate to God on a higher level and already drive cars and by Jesus's time we would be exploring outside our solar system.

When we study religious history we mostly focus on what happened and forget how our world would be if mistakes did not occur.  If humans were to go and follow God's word and not satan's word, our world would never had been a world of hell and we would have enjoyed peace from the very beginning.

If Adam and Eve were never kicked out of the Garden of Eden, you and I would be celebrating as one family under God on a different solar system.

Fortunately or unfortunately, our true Creator did not make us talk, or act to His  specific detail how He wanted.  He gave us freedom.  Free Will is a gift to humanity from God.  Can you imagine we were all born perfect already without choices, and our personality and thoughts were downloaded 100% from God? 

Luckily and miraculously, we serve an Almighty God that wanted to have a partner who would grow and mature to a standard of perfection so we could share in His creation.  This is the meaning of the three great blessings.  God is not a dictator and we merely servants, we were to mature and grow to perfection and we would be able to share in the fruit of God's creation. 

God did have a large portion in creation, 95 % is His responsibility; he gave us 5% of responsibility. 

This 5% is our free will.  Thank you, God.

This also explains the age old question, why wouldn't God stop the Fall, why doesn't God end war and save us automatically?

Simply put, God can make plans for us individual carve a path that we can each fulfill, but we mainly choose to go the opposite of God's way and then we leave our path incomplete for later generations to fulfill.  This is the answer to why does history repeat itself.

For instance, we can dig into a biblical story about Noah.  God told Noah build an Ark.  Based on Noah's faith God, brought the rain and  is the one who cleansed the earth, God is the one who brought the animals.  That was God's 95 percent responsibility.  Noah had 5 percent to build a boat where there was not a lick of water.  This took absolute faith.

This means that even though we have a small portion in comparison to God's portion, it actually takes 100 percent of our effort to complete.  For this reason, God could bring the rain and start the world over once more. 

On the other hand, Abraham had the mission of making a sacrifice in order to rid the land of Satan's dominion.  Well, he was able to cut the two sacrifices but he was so tired he left a small amount, the small doves uncut and fell asleep.  This is a failure of Abraham's 5 percent responsibility. 

This explains why God cursed Abraham's descendants into slavery for 400 years.  Our portion of responsibility is necessary in order to understand Free Will.

Just like Spiderman's aunt told him, with great power comes responsibility - and punishment for not following through.  This punishment came in the form of slavery.


God Trusted Us With Free Will

God at the beginning of the planning stage, he could have made it where we were all robots - poof, Russell is going to have this talent and be exactly like this and only like this kind of art - and Yumiko is going to only like this and want that type of art.  Because of our 5% responsibility, God can enjoy His creation through us as physical beings.

Every parent raises their child in hopes that they do a well enough job that the child will be able to live a sufficient life on their own and get married and start a family.  God gave us a choice what to do with all of His gifts.

In essence - God gave you the free will to choose to follow His way of World Peace or follow another way outside of His ideal and His direct path.  He sacrificed His absolute Way and allowed His children to have a choice - have a piece of responsibility with all of creation.

Would a dictator do that?

This is extraordinary thinking.  God gave you free will to choose or not choose Him.  This sounds more like the God I had envisioned as a child, and not the monstrous dictator god that is taught by some people of faith.

Humans try with their own strength to create a peaceful world through forcing Peace - forcing people to unite.  This does the exact opposite by taking away the very gift, free will, and striping humanity of freedom when even God gives everyone a choice how to behave. 

Know which ideology that wants perfection through servitude the same as a robot civilization?

Communism Is Dehumanizing

Communism is an ideology that believes freedom causes destruction and takes freedoms away from its citizens through forcing laws of equality that in turn take away freedom turning people into robots to obtain order. 

For example, everything belongs to the government in order to bring equality to the people.  Does this bring unity?  Yes, unity in serving the government - unity in being a slave to giving up freedom.

The clip above gives an example of how this ideology is just an illusion.  The robot creator must constantly update the robot to make it say and do what the creator wills. In other words the robot just mimics what the creator wants.

Who wants that other than the one who is controlling the power?

This is a perfection in the fact that the one in control's will is complete, because they set out to have a person do exactly what they want.  This is great if the one in control is perfect and has True Love as their motivation for each direction, but we know that this is not the case in our world.

Communism depends on a leader that controls based and centered on their own prejudices, thoughts and ideals - not God's ideals.  Communism denies God as a whole and imprisions those who study a philosophy outside the government.

Serve the government, not God.

In this sense, democracy is headed in this direction sooner or later with socialism as a stepping stone.  History proves this time and again.  Because it is all centered on human thinking, judgements and philosophy without True Love centered on God.  Centered on God, politicians will be serving the people's and have the whole as their concern, and solving human issues without taking away freedom to do so will bring us closer to an ideal world of peace.

You Can Save the World

If saving the world was as easy as all the superheroes make it - a woman screams for help and the hero swoops down for the rescue, World Peace would have happened by now.

There is another factor keeping us from obtaining peace on all levels of society that superheroes can only dream of solving.

 

Heroes use their flight and power to save a young woman falling from a building, take out the bad guys or stop a train from hitting a little boy.  Then, the hero goes home, or goes to work and tries to blend into the rest of society merely by wearing a pair of glasses. 

One might wonder, why do we need a SUPERhero for those kinds of situations?  I mean we have the military, we have EMTs, firemen and the police?  Do these professionals do a great job of protecting the city like Spiderman and Superman everyday?

If you had a Will Smith superhero character with all of the power his character enjoyed in Hancock, I wouldn't waste it on such superfluous goals such as to find a mate for just one night or stop cocaine runners.  We already have heroes in society to saves us from those realities.  Humanity wants a TRUEhero, one who can rescue us beyond our own human powers. 

Maybe it is too high of an expectation.  I mean these characters originated from comic books meant for just pasttime, for our enjoyment.  Plus these macho rich, characters live in a fictional world where the only problems people encounter are external ones - robots taking over, insane people holding people hostage, terrorist blowing up a building - heroes serve their purpose in their own small world.  In our world, we have more conflicts, more problems, and in order to bring us into a World of Peace, it will take an even greater hero. 


The World in Search of a Savior

One that can save us beyond the physical salvation of a burning building.  The world needs a hero that saves us from the spiritual pain we inherited at birth.  A hero that can save us from the suffering inflicted within every human being. 

For the religious this may be Jesus, Buddha, Confucius and Muhammad.  They brought truth to the suffering of people of their time. These four teachers of the four main religions were able to teach their followers how to take control over their bodies. 

Yet, there is still a self-contradiction within even the most faithful.  Even though Jesus died for our sins, while on earth, our bodies are still afflicted with the results of sin.  Poverty, Sadness, depression, anxiety, disease, etc.  Many people believe this is part of the creation and that sin will forever remain with humanity on the earth. 


But the Messiah came to completely remove sin.  Then you say he did. 

That is correct, the Savior has taken our sin and gave us spiritual salvation where we can live eternally with God after death.  On the other hand, can we deny that sin is even in the most devout Christian who follows Jesus's teaching and pass it on to their children?

If you look at Jesus's life, he opened a way for us to reach Paradise, but even he himself his own body was tortured, his flesh was torn from the body and he lost his life. 

Yes, the crucifixion was necessary as God's second choice to save us from our sin through sacrifice at the demand of His enemy, but one must think about it - human sin destroyed even Jesus's body.  Who denies that because of sin, Jesus's own flesh had to leave this earth?This is why even though through his flesh we have been forgiven of sin, Satan can still attack us, our flesh, our bodies physically.  Jesus asked, how can one person surpass his own teacher?

This is why the faithful still have disease, cancer, untimely deaths and the such.  You can see it everyday with our bodies open to diseases, horrible pain and physical attacks. 

Yes, the devout are protected by the Holy Spirit and God from tragedies, but sin was not completely removed from the earth even after Jesus's accomplishment.  Is it because God made evil part of creation and it will be a constant struggle in our lives for ever?

Any god that creates a world where his children must fight sin for eternity - that type of god is not the Creator that Jesus followed, but another god that has taken God's position and masked his identity for thousands of years. 

The fact that God gave us Jesus is a Testament that God wants sin eradicated.  The Messiah came by God's mandate to bring an end to sin - One Man came - an individual to bring World Peace.

So, why does sin still exist?

 

Sin is Not Part of God's Plan


The world needs a superhero to return and save us from the results that sin bears on our physical bodies once and for all. 

Which equals to no more disease, no more hurt, sadness suffering etc. on earth as well as heaven.  This would be a World of Peace or the Kingdom of Heaven on Earth.

Superhero movies, no matter how bad the script is,  continue to break box office records.  If humans wish for a hero and love superheroes so much, from whom or what do we humans want to be saved?  Why do we Americans wish to be rescued?  We are not starving, we have all that we need, therefore, why do we need someone to rescue us?  Rescue America from what?


If we are born into sin, which bores action that takes us away from God, that means we are continuously born in a way that needs to be corrected.  How can we eliminate this?  Do we continue to believe that the all mighty God cannot save His pitiful children except halfway through the death of His only son? 

How can we eliminate the dirty lineage we are born into? 

Should we stubbornly stick to the ideal that we are completely free from sin when we still give birth to children who have to be saved from sin?  From the beginning when man chose to eat and disobey the commandment, that impurity connected us to a dirty lineage.

To think that we are in God's direct lineage is not right, for a god to bear children of sin is not God the Creator but another god - the lowly god Satan. 

In other words, when our ancestors chose to believe Satan's words we chose Satan's word, do eat for it will open your eyes and you will become great, we chose Satan's lineage, Satan's will for the world and that is why we live in a world of hell right at this moment.  You are currently living in a world chosen by the little god Satan - his ideal world is the opposite of God's world to keep us from God - to destroy yours and my life.  Why do we deny this when we look around at the world situation today?  Does this world perpetuate a world of God's ideal or Satan's ideal? 

God absolutely intends that one day His children will be born within His realm of protection, and without the need for religion.

Heroes Sacrifice For World Peace

So you and I want to be heroes or at least see a superhero movie at the local theater.  Do Superheroes have a easy life? If you rewatch any hero series or read their comics, you will see that at one point they always suffer some great lose due to having such a public mission.  They lose loves, their family is affected and it is a very lonely position.

If we truly understood what it takes to be a hero we wouldn't volunteer for the position even though great power comes attached as part of the package.  It entails a life of sacrifice. It will not be an easy life to save the world. 

We all want to live in an Utopian world, a World of Peace.  Where do we have to go to achieve this?  We have to go through the realm of an original family of love.  World Peace starts from a True Family. 

How will this happen? 

That's where the Truehero comes in.  He must connect us back to God's direct lineage.  Then we say we are in God's lineage, God is within us, we are crafted from His image.

Then we must ask, if God made Jesus His Son, then what are we?  Jesus is God's True Son and through Jesus we are adopted sons and daughter, not True.

This hero will do this no matter what the circumstances.  If a vast ocean stands before him, he must swim across it.  If a high mountain blocks his path, he has to climb the Himalayas with his bare feet.  Who is willing to give up their luxurious life to follow this path through tons of people spitting at their feet like Martin Luther King, Jr.? 

A Truehero will have to go where the lowest, saddest and most stricken person in hell exist, and win victory over the strongest satans that oppose him.  In this way, the Truehero cuts a path of suffering that allows even the lowest person to follow toward a life of God.  This describes thousands of saints and religious leaders who seemingly were defeated in the end.  They are our heroes who laid a foundation for us to follow and bring humanity back to God.

In other words, in order to get rid of Satan's lineage - you have to go where Satan refuses to follow you.  Could Satan follow Jesus and tempt him away from God? 

No. 

Jesus and hundreds of other saints had cut a clear path of suffering for the purpose of separating themselves from Satan. 

Jesus suffered so much that he endured pain more than any person in history up until that time period, then he won victory over all of his enemies.  This way opens the path for you and me and every human to follow toward spiritual liberation from sin. 

In order for us to save the world from sin completely and dominate Satan back to his original position of servant, when this Truehero returns, we will have to follow the path that satan cannot follow, then satan leaves him.  Then this Great Teacher will give us the tools to follow this path and we will be able to completely eradicate Satan individually, and for the first time on earth we will have the power to eradicate sin from our earthly lives and bore children without the accusation of the original sin by following God's true path.

We have to go where satan refuses to follow us and torture us, we must shed blood, sweat and tears based on a heart of true love.  Evil can not love, evil can not be humble or love its enemy, therefore, when you practice this way evil will leave you  - this is an ironclad prinicple.  The reason why evil dominates us in this world is because we follow it, we give and take with evil ways.

When we conquer evil within ourselves using the tools of the Returned Messiah, then we become heroes when we spread this into our families which spreads to the nation and whole world.


Qualification of a Hero

Every faith can attest that Jesus was a hero and a savoir of the people.  The reason why he was only able to give spiritual salvatio and not physical, which a world without sin - heaven on earth, was because the people could not follow Jesus.

His disciples scattered and so did his teachings and that is why he Returns as a Messiah in our time to complete his teachings.  The people of his day did not have all of the scientific knowledge, the foundation of religions of suffering to stand on.  We can now receive in totally The Second Coming teachings that will bring us to a world, on earth, without suffering and sin. 

Is this going to happen automatically - poof, heaven on earth?

How can we rid ourselves of sin if we do it in a comfortable position, without being higher than those who are connected to satan?

You must be willing to love even your worst enemy more than you love your own children and save him.  Do we bless our enemies or curse them?  This standard of heart is what it will take to save the world.  

You must not live just for yourself, or your family, you must live every action for your nation and the world.  Then you must pick up your cross and follow the returned hero - the returned Messiah. 

In the physical reality everything is owned by satan. 

In Satan's world, you are forced to pay a tax on money you earn then on everything you buy, then your house, car etc are taxed again, annually for as long as you "own" it.  You do not truly own anything it is an illusion.  Who pays for something they own? 

In God's world, taxes will be voluntary and paid freely and used for the purpose of the whole and does not cause us to lose our freedoms.

Since human beings brought Satan to earth, it has been turned into hell. We must bring God here. We must do this through True Love.

This sad reality is because humans brought Satan to earth by choosing to follow him.  We must bring God to be leader over this earth.  We can only do that through the high standard of loving the enemy more than our loved ones, our own spouse and friends.

This is how you save your family, your children, the world - by releasing satan from you on an individual level, then your family level all the way to the nation.  Only then will you be connected to the coming World of Peace.

World Peace Through Family

Scan any television station and you are sure to run into a reality show giving us a fly-on-the-wall view of a celebrity or non-celebrity's everyday interactions. 

The fad is so great that we can't stop watching non-celebrities with their multiple children and such.  If we completely followed how these families lived, would it bring a world of peace? 

Unfortunately, not to judge, but many of the lives we follow, real or fictional on television, are not the best example to realize a world of peace.  Our family example as well.  Teen mothers, angry housewives, bored celebrity kids may be cool to emanate, but the results they yield their followers is a life different than the ideal life God had imagined during creation. 

I don't know many children who wish they live without their parents, or any wife that wishes she could lose her husband to another woman.  I also don't know of any family that wishes for problems arising every time they communicate.  It is not in our nature.  Humans were created for one purpose - true love.  If we don't experience this with everyone in our lives - TRUE love - then how can we hope to see it on a global scale?


God's Only Institution


God created one institution as a way humans can learn to love, and learn how to relate to others based on this love - The Family.  The family is supposed to be the school of love.

Religion as its basis is God's primary means of education by which to instruct and love humankind.  We were supposed to be mature and raised up in God's true love and become parents that teach children what the world and God likes.

The family is the workshop based upon which one meets the qualifications to graduate from primary and secondary school, on to university -- even to earn a doctorate. Furthermore, the family expands into the world.

When the world was in the planning stage God had planned for the world to be a kingdom of love.  This is His will.  The family was set up as an instituion of this love on different levels equivalent to primary school on to the university and obtaining a doctorate.  Then this family that has graduated into a higher love interacting through four positions: Sibiling to Sibling, Parent to Child, Parent to God, Child to God.

This family then would expand from clan to nation to a worldwide family.

 If there was a family that was absolute or true it would be a place where the husband loves and serves his wife as he would his own mother and sister and his wife serves and loves the husbad as she would her father and brother.  They would love and respect one another as they would respect God Himself.

If we have a true family such as this all over he earth then World Peace happens automatically.  This type of world would be the Kingdom of Heaven on earth.

In this this type of family we can find happiness not depression.  However happiness will not arise in an family with many emotional difficulties or in a family that does not have love. 


Where does misfortune come about in a family?

It begins when love disappears. Parents serve as a protective fence around the house as they attend God obeying heavenly laws as husband and wife and pass this on through their children.


A family such as this, a true family does not just sprout from anywhere.  A family starts with a couple, and a couple begin with two separate individuals each working to perfect their character. 

Majority of us stop growing our spiritual self along the way onto a path toward God and start a family before we are mature.  Then our children inherit the parent's immature spirit, mess and all.

What is this path that God leads us?  The path is the standard of absolute sexual purity. 

The first stage is to maintain absolute sexual purity before getting married.  We grow through different stages of our lives from childhood to adolescence.  Adolescence signals a start of a new dynamic life on a new level relating to others around us and things of creation.

Adolescence is the time where we begin to travel the path to becoming an absolute human being -internally.  In our time and all through history no one or any law has required us to become our absolute true self, but it is absolutely a requirement that every human should fulfill no matter what position - how high or low a level they live in society, we should fulfill this standard. 

We see in our current situations of family how living away from the standard of God has led to a society of broken families.

God gave to us a responsibility of maintaining purity in order to fulfill His ideal of creation.  This is the model of absolute sexual morality for us as humans.   This path leads us toward perfecting the model of absoluteness in conjugal love - love between husband and wife. 

Remember the warning God gave the first ancestors from which we were born?  He said, do not eat for in the day you eat, you will die.  He gave them the responsibility to maintain absolute sexual purity until God's approval of marriage. 

Our first family on earth failed in so many ways because it started otuside of God's realm.  It was intended to be a marriage approved by God, instead started outside of God's realm.  The first family on earth - the model we followed - was a family begun outside of God's ideal and multiplied now millions of families later.  This is why today we experience families that are far from the true ideal family.

What would have happened if Adam and Eve followed God's direction?  What if they chose to follow the commandment instead of being tempted away by satan?

They would have perfected their character and stood together with God as His equal, then their marriage would have been blessed by God.  Then they would bore True Children and this is a True Family. 

Secondly, we would see how can we preserve our purity before marriage and keep from following the wrong path.

Right now our American lives are leading a life toward self-destruction because we are children of the first family that follows the path outside of God.  Purity is the greatest blessing of Heaven given to humanity and without maintaining purity, our path toward a perfected individual or spiritual maturity is closed.  So, when Adam and Eve had eaten it was pertaining to wait to have sexual relations once they had matured in God's love.  Instead, our historical parents had lost their purity and left direct relationship with God.

This truth in God's commandment for Adam and Eve has lain hidden throughout human history, but this is what God truly told Adam and Eve - to keep their purity.  If they had obtained purity and conjugal relations they would have attained complete oneness with Him and then had children of goodness.

Can we say that we follow the path of God so completely and have children of goodness?  All of the world's problems stems from the hidden fact in history.  Humanity started from a family outside of God's protective realm.

One Global Family of Peace

Here is a word we probably never seen - True Families, True Children.

We think it is not possible with the climate of marriage these days.  No matter how far humanity strays from the ideal it is still God's mandate to experience a True Family.

Family members means there must be a family.  Then if there is a family then there are brothers and sisters and siblings means there are parents.
In religion, we call others "members" or "believers".  But when have religious members called each other on the global level "family member"? 

When we talk about world peace we also may say Global Family.  A great family will require parents - a father and mother for this great family.  This parent is none other than the one to come who opens the gateway to World Peace - the returned Messiah.  Even though there will be many brothers and sisters there will be only one set of parents or one head of the family.

How will one who is a "family member" in this heavenly family look?


This is the question.  

These True Parents will not be self-centered or have anything to do with evil.  They will be the center of this family and these parents will have God as their center.

So, a true family will be realized only when the Savior, Messiah becomes one with God as our parent on earth.  Then those who join with the Returned Messiah they will become true Children and true brothers and sisters.

You will become brothers and sisters to those you are not related and follow parents who are not your physical parents.  A world of peace will be able to go past the emotions and affections of the flesh and blood, transcend race, and nation creating a new culture based on heart.

How will this come about?  How will it be possible for unrelated people to love one another as their own flesh and blood?  By force?  Through law?  It is only possible through God's love.
