Jesus Is Not God Himself

#132-Satan Was the First Pedophile

Cheon Seong Gyeong 2142

    Therefore, God must show His love. The love by which He can see, touch, and share with men and women at the same time is the love with which they love each other. If anything other than love were to be recognized as the most valuable thing in the universe, men and women would fight each other to try to claim it for themselves. Once we realize that love is the highest value, however, we can strive to live for and become one with each other, sharing the happiness of possessing love together. Not only does everybody want love, but also it is the only thing that can equally satisfy all human desires; this is also what makes God’s providence of salvation possible.
    Originally, love belongs to God. Yet even He cannot possess love all by Himself. Love requires a partner. A man by himself or a woman by herself cannot fulfill love. Thus, women and men exist for the sake of each other’s love. Even ugly men and women desire a love partner, wanting to be the partners of the highest love.

As God carried out the dispensation for restoration, His grief lay in the fact that the firstborn son was on Satan’s side. That is why human history is diseased. What kind of disease does it suffer from? It has a love related disease. The first son was born after humankind went astray due to the disease of love. If we are not aware of this fact, we won’t reach the time when we are able to ascend to the individual position where we can again achieve harmony, even if we spend billions of years in search of the principled standard. (136-126, 1985.12.22)

Original Substance of the Divine Principle

Christology

A completed person has cosmic value.  Jesus has Divine Value, Eternal Value, Unique Value and Cosmic Value, as a human being who has completed the purpose of creation.  Adam and Jesus were both to complete the tree of life spoken of in Genesis 2:9 and Revelation 22:14.  Jesus is not God Himself.  See slides 6 to 9 below:

A True Person Has Unique, Divine and Eternal Value

Cheon Seong Gyeong 907

Since the spirit world has now moved extremely close, the age has come where good spirits will settle down on this earth. They will come and live here. To this day, Satan and evils spirits have divided up this earth and taken charge of it. But now, the good spirits will take over the earth and be in charge of it. For this to happen, members of the Unification Church must shed tears, sweat and blood, and offer devotion. You should pray with a fervent heart greater than the devotion offered by Christians and more than that of the Islamic faith, Buddhism and all other religions. You should pray, saying, “Since the substantial foundation has been restored on the earth through all of you spirits, the Unification Church will march forward through all the realms of spirit world based on this spiritual foundation!” (169-10, 1987.10.1)

A true filial son is the one who obeys. A true loyal subject even when being chased and put to death by traitors never calls his king incapable. A true loyal subject is a person of integrity and loyalty, who sheds tears with a sorrowful heart, and wishes his king a long life even when persecuted by treacherous courtiers to the point of death. This is absolute obedience. The only way to bring about success through absolute obedience is the way of true love. (164-48, 1987.5.3)

Christology

Christology talks about fundamental issues regarding the person of Jesus and the issues of Trinity and rebirth.
A person who has completed the purpose of creation certainly has divine value and unique value. See slides 1 to 5 below:

You are Justified Only When You Fulfill Your Own Portion of Responsibility

Cheon Seong Gyeon 1171

In what manner did Jesus, who had right of kingship over all kings, enter the world? He came inheriting the victorious tradition by which the lineage had been changed. That is why when he was conceived in Mary’s womb Satan could not say, “That is my son.” Mary conceived Jesus on the national-level foundation that had been inherited from the historical tradition of heart left by Tamar. Through this, Mary was able to restore through indemnity Eve’s failure and to stand in the position of having brought forth fruit, which had been the hope of women throughout history. Since Jesus’ conception took place based on the completed restoration of the right of the eldest son, from the time of his conception Satan could not claim him as his own. At the time of Tamar, Perez could not claim to be the firstborn son on God’s side while he was in the womb, but only after his birth. (139-309, 1986.1.31)

Our missionaries are trained so that they have no need for the luxuries of Western societies. It is because we have a new culture called “the sleeping bag culture.” Wherever they go, our young people do not feel disoriented. You will discover that the homes of Unification Church missionaries are without any luxurious furnishings and possess only the simplest of household goods. (130- 280, 1984.2.7)

Predestination

    Romans 8:29-30 is often cited as a justification for the doctrine of absolute predestiantion, meaning that God decides ahead of time what will happen.
   This is wrong.  Since the verse does not mention human responsiblity, it gives that impression.  But a person cannot be justified unless he or she fulfills his or her own protion of responsiblity.  See slides 6 and 7 below:

 

Predestination Requires Human Responsibility

    When you reach a higher level through prayer, you will start talking with your mind. A state of resonance will occur. It will be on a higher level, and you will physically hear what you are saying in your mind. You will advance to that kind of state. During the first stage a hint or suggestion in your daily life will be given. Therefore, believers must collect the vast amount of such facts.
    When coming into contact with people, do not treat them offhandedly. Always wonder if they can teach you something. Always be hungry in heart. Have a seeking heart that expects to receive something from those people. After all, what is the self? You are always either a subject or an object partner in a relationship. It means you are in a fixed position either as a subject or an object partner. Therefore, when a being appears who can become your subject or object partner, you will know it immediately. If you have people to witness to, you will easily know what kind of people they are. Your mind would go to them out of joy, by way of thought waves. Every mind has its own wavelength. A butcher smells of meat and a dealer in fabrics smells of cloth. Just as your body has its own smell, your mind has its own unique smell. A form of sensing the smell of the mind will take place.
    Our body has something similar to the sense of touch that makes contact with everything. Your mind emits something like invisible electronic waves to look for its own object. Therefore, believers must think that everything is in a reciprocal relationship with them. Why is that necessary? Because we have lost all kinds of relationships due to the Fall. The Fall severed our ties with nature, with the original human being, and with God. In order to reconnect the world of the severed relationships you must always endeavor to get yourself connected. Those relationships can be pioneered only when you take such action. Without such an attitude, you will never succeed in pioneering in a relationship.

You should value the right of the chosen people and their lineage. The right of the chosen people is the right of the eldest son. Korea is the country of the eldest son. The purpose of Korea becoming a race that loves their genealogy was for the sake of carrying on the lineage. It is not wrong to worship your ancestors and perform services in their memory. In the future, there will be a time when we revere our parents more than those who belong to Confucianism. Do you understand what I am saying? (226-277, 1992.2.9)

Predestination

God’s will is predestined to be accomplished, but whether it is accomplished sooner or later is dependent on us human beings accomplishing our own portion of responsibility.  This is one of the great gems of the Unification Principle.  See slides 1 to 5 below:

 

 

Reincarnation Is Not Literal

Cheon Seong Gyeong 2010

To form a nation, there needs to be a territory, a people and sovereignty. What is sovereignty? It is the creation of a relationship with the original God. Even as the people of the nation sleep, the leadership of the nation must connect with God and then conduct the work of governing the nation. The sovereign leader must completely unite with the citizens of that nation. By becoming one with his people, the sovereign leader can no longer think of anything as being for his own sake alone, but must instead see everything as being for the sake of the nation. When this is achieved, that nation will prosper and flourish. (30-88, 1970.3.17)

    When your character has a certain shortcoming, then listen to the kind of testimony that can supplement it. Listen to those testimonies and absorb them to enhance your character. That is why you must listen to many testimonies about other people’s personal experiences. When you listen, do not criticize them.
    Criticizing means deciding between Satan’s side and God’s side. When you criticize, you end up on one of two sides: Satan’s or God’s. Therefore, criticizing can be a cancer in your development. Once you are on Satan’s side, you cannot just go to God’s side, and once you are on God’s side, you cannot go over to Satan’s side. In our life, we do not just go in a straight line but zigzag.
    We are the conduits for not only good ancestors but also evil ones. In terms of our disposition, when we have many character traits from our good ancestors we go the way of goodness. But a part of us also comes from our evil ancestors. A time will come during your lives when you will surely behave in an evil way. If you criticize, it will bring trouble. Hence, the words “do not judge others” make sense. (76-139, 1975.2.2)

Resurrection

Resurrection does not occur physically.  Rather, when spirit persons with a similar faith and disposition as us descend to help us spiritually as we carry out God’s providential work, both we and they are resurrected.
Many Buddhists believe that human spirits may be reincarnated as either a human or an animal.  This is an incorrect concept.
Ultimately, spirti persons of different religions or no religion will influence those on earth with a similar faith and disposition to understand, accept and follow the teachings of Christ at the Second Coming, who is the True Parent, Rev. Sun Myung Moon.
