God Lacked the Basis for Love

Prosecutor Harvey; Do Not Remove my Duly Elected County Commissioners, Krouse and Jackson

Cheon Seong Gyeong 1545

    In First Corinthians, Chapter 13, the chapter on love, it states that amongst faith, hope and love, three qualities that are eternal in nature, love is the greatest of all. Isn’t that true? Humankind has not understood this truth. What does it mean to love with all your heart, and with all your soul and with all your strength? It means to love by giving everything you have, even your life.
    Have you all ever loved someone so completely? Have wives loved their husbands so completely, have students loved their teachers so completely, and have citizens loved their nation so completely? As no one has ever practiced perfect love, we need to create exemplary models.
    In factories, molding dies are first designed, and then products are mass-produced using these dies; similarly, we need to make a model of a true human being that will serve as a die. Only then can true human beings multiply and spread out across the world, by following the example set by that model. (143- 273, 1986.3.20)

    Look at this world and universe: in the field of minerals, there are positive and negative ions, in the plant world, stamen and pistil, and in the animal kingdom, male and female. I recently heard there are even male and female germs. Everything is supposed to become one based on love in its appropriate domain. Through observation, we can see that this world of the pair system has been created in this way, so that when the ideal love of human beings becomes representative of heaven and earth, the rest of the creation can connect to it and support it. Just as the foundation needs to be laid before a house can be built, God created everything within the pair system for the sake of humankind. You may have seen that among animals. When the male and female are roaming around together and the female is attacked, the male will protect her to the death. After giving birth to their young, they will risk their lives for them. Such is the way of love, and it is like this because it has the same characteristics as the origin. (222-123, 1991.10.28)

True God
Chapter 1

The Original Being of God

Section 5. God’s Omniscience and Omnipotence Are Within the Principle
5.2. Only love is the absolute standard

    God cannot be God by Himself. What fun could that be? Would He worry about food? Would He worry about sleep? Would He worry about clothes? He can have these supplied in whatever quantity He desires. He may want to get on a plane and fly around, but He would become bored within an hour. No matter how all-knowing and all-powerful God may be, and no matter how much He prides Himself in being so special, He would not find it satisfying. He is just like us. And God has no other choice. He must find the joy that derives from seeing something valuable that He made effort to create. (161-116, 1987.1.11) Continue reading “God Lacked the Basis for Love”

    In Romans 8, it is written, “And not only the creation, but we ourselves, who have the first fruits of the Spirit, groan inwardly as we wait for adoption as sons, the redemption of our bodies,” and “For you did not receive the spirit of bondage again to fear, but you received the Spirit of adoption by whom we cry out, “Abba, Father.” They could only become adopted children.
    Today, Christians are adopted children. Adopted children have a different lineage. Jesus said in John 8:44, “You are of your father the devil, and the desires of your father you want to do.” Doesn’t ‘father’ here indicate the lineage of humankind from its ancestor, the devil? Hence, in circumcision, the foreskin is cut. That is how it is. How can people claim that the fruit of good and evil is a literal fruit? (154-337, 1964.10.5)

We must live a life of attendance. Although we have welcomed the Kingdom of Heaven of hope, we have not welcomed a Kingdom of Heaven of attendance and practice. In other words, we have not been aware in our daily lives that God is our subject partner. (6-226, 1959.5.17

5.1. God’s omniscience and omnipotence are based on principles

    This may sound strange, but if God wanted love, why could He not simply create it at will? It is because if He did, He would not be able to stand in His proper position. This is why He does not create love, and this is the same as saying He could not create it. Do you understand what I am saying? You may say, “Ah, but how can the all-knowing and almighty God be unable to create love?” If He did, we might come to find that either dualism or polytheism were correct. You may doubt it, but this is how it is. (173-211, 1988.2.18) Continue reading “One Thing Immobilizes God”

The Family Is the Base for Perfecting All Types of True Love

We’ll see you at the Peaceful Families; Peaceful World workshop tomorrow and Sunday!

    The world will gradually start to move in accordance with the fortune of the Unification Church. In this connection, I conducted the first international joint wedding in 1970, the 777 Couples Blessing, which signified that everything on earth was drawing together globally based on the providence.
    As part of the 430 Couples Blessing, I blessed forty-three non-Korean couples overseas rather than bringing them over to Korea. Yet, the 777 Couples Blessing in Korea was the very first international joint wedding held in the whole world, with participants from ten nations. The path by which any nation on earth can return to God was completed through the family ideal in this manner. From this moment on, it became possible for the fortune of the world to align itself with the fortune of the Unification Church. (55-171, 1972.5.7)

    No one living on earth until this time has ever seen God’s Day, True Parents’ Day, True Children’s Day, and Day of All True Things. There are 365 days in a year. You should clearly understand that the most important days among all 365 days are those days that I have just mentioned, which have now appeared in providential history. You should know that these days are the king of all days, and if a year like that existed it would be the king of all years. (92-252, 1977.4.18)

Family Pledge

Rev. Sun Myung Moon

Family Pledge 3; Perfecting the Four Great Realms of Heart, the Three Great Kingships and the Realm of the Royal family

The Big Idea:  Children’s, siblings, couples and parents love are all perfected in and center on the first love consummated by husband and wife.  The grandparents, parents and children each exist as levels of kingship.  The realm of the royal family exists so we can save Cain-type families in this world.
   Questions:

1. What are the four great realms of heart?
2. What are the three great kingships?
3. What is the realm of the royal family?

Lesson

Core concept 45:  The four great realms of heart are perfected when two God-centered people marry and consummate their first love as a couple.

We will fail if people say, “In the Unification Church, the words are good but the people are bad.” Did I give you only words? No, I did not just speak. I have done all the things that I am teaching you now. Therefore, there should be no doubt about them. I am teaching by creating a system of thought that is free of inconsistency and contradiction in both its intellectual and the practical aspects. No one can say anything about that. Both Satan and God approve of it. (24-108, 1969.7.13)

So, who are the 36 Couples? In each era of history, not a single family has been able to fulfill the Will, or been able to form a family according to God’s will, and so the conditions necessary to indemnify this have been passed on from generation to generation. The 36 Couples, by offering these conditions of indemnity, have been called to act as shields for families on earth in this era. In other words, they are the representative couples that can fulfill the conditions of indemnity that have been handed down throughout history

Family Pledge

Rev. Sun Myung Moon

We will be doing a study of the Family Pledge that has been prepared as part of the Blessing Preparation Course for the upcoming UnionStation.love matching website.

The Big Idea:
    The Family Pledge explains the role of the family in building the Kingdom of Heaven on earth.  The Family Pledge is intended for Blessed families, who are fulfilling God’s original ideal of creation, centered on true love.  The original world and original homeland is a world of brotherhood and sisterhood.  It is where we help our parents, siblings and relatives to enter this world.
By fulfilling the Family Pledge, we can become ideal families

Questions:

1. What is God’s original ideal of creation?
2. How do God and human beings become one?
3. Where is the original homeland?

Lesson

Core concept 1:  The primary premise of the Family Pledge is “by centering on true love”

Reading:

Pledge Number One:

Our family, the owner of Cheon Il Guk, pledges to seek our original homeland and build the Kingdom of God on earth and in heaven, the original ideal of creation, by centering on true love.

    Members of the Unification Church will be able to register their names in the not too distant future. The day when North and South Korea are united as one nation, in which God can take delight, will be the day on which you can be registered. When such a day dawns, even if you are blind or have an impaired voice or a deformed arm, if you were blessed first, you would be considered the elder. You would be the elder sister-in-law. If you were blessed later, you would have to serve a person with an impaired voice and deformed arm as your elder, even if you are older and a college graduate.
    Such a day is coming. Therefore, when that time comes, all these special conditions of attendance will become important factors that will decide between success and failure. (58-113, 1972.6.6)

Cheon Seong Gyeong 1189

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)

True Family; Gateway to Heaven
Chapter Four

The Love of Man and Woman
in the Original Creation

Section 6. Original Human Beings Are Enraptured
with True Love

What is the holiest thing in the world? True love is the holiest
thing in world. True love originates with God. If God exists, there
is no other way than the way of true love. God truly desires the
way of true love, and without traversing the way of true love, we
cannot go before God. We have to know this point.
God wants to see, hear, eat, and touch through love. As for human
beings, if they receive a kiss of love from God, their joy will make
them feel as if they are going to explode from inside. This is where
God’s desire lies. God does not rejoice because He has diamonds
or jewelry. (Blessed Family – 380)

The human body has five senses and every human being feels and
confirms true love through the sensations of the five senses. If the
eyes are directed toward true love, they will be colored by and
intoxicated with true love. How beautifully those colorful,
intoxicated eyes will shine! Think about how enchanting the
smiling lips of a person immersed in true love are. Try to imagine
the intense beauty of the five senses moving in intoxication with
true love and the harmony of the five senses moving toward God.

Alone, God cannot experience the joy of such beauty. He can
experience such beauty only when He has a partner, and this is the
reason God created human beings. How would God feel as He
observed a beautiful man and woman absorbed into one another
through true love-intoxicated eyes, or kissing with true love-
intoxicated lips, and playing the melody of a heart of true love? If
there is an Eve of true love, God would want to completely traverse
her world of heart. God would have an impulsive desire to explore
the breadth and depth of this beautiful Eve’s world of heart.
God would want to traverse both Adam’s and Eve’s world of heart,
a world more beautiful than the created heaven and earth. It is
certain that God would rather travel within the world of the heart
of a person of true love than the universe. God would never want
to leave Adam’s and Eve’s world of heart and true love. If, after
God created human beings, He fell into their true love and became
a child lost in that love, what kind of world would we have? Since
God would dwell in their midst, the world formed by God and
human beings becoming one would be a world filled with joy and
beauty. (Blessed Family – 380)

If the true love of God had been perfected, the God of
responsiveness would have no regrets at being totally absorbed by
true love. God’s nature is such that He would be totally happy
with anything that happened within the realm of true love. If
human beings were to live in this world of true love, they would
live a happy life free from regret. Moreover, this world would be
without war and free of complaint and misfortune. (Blessed
Family – 380)
