Unificationism & Christian Faith (v6.3) — de Paulis · Following the Stories of Real People

Christianity began in the Middle East in Jerusalem among Jewish Aramaic-speaking Semitic peoples of Judah (modern Israel, Palestinian Territories and Jordan).

It quickly spread, initially to other Semitic peoples, in Parthian-ruled Assyria & Mesopotamia (modern Iraq), Roman-ruled Syria (ancient Aramea), Phoenicia (modern Lebanon), southern and easternAsia Minor (modern Turkey), and northwestern Persia (modern Iran) and Malta.

From there it spread to Greece,Armenia, Egypt, Georgia, the Caucasus region and on into The Balkans, India, North Africa, Rome, Ethiopia, Nubia (modern Sudan) and Arabia, and eventually southern and western Europe.

Introduction

• Then said Jesus unto his disciples, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, (fallen human body) and follow me. Math 16:24

• Hardship itself isn’t a bad thing. The cross you carry isn’t bad. The true path of the cross will lead you to the true path of love. Parents walk willingly the path of the cross for they love their children. Isn’t this right? So, the true path of the cross will lead you to the true path of love.

/SMM Life with the Physical Body is Very Short 1972

It is absolutely wrong for Unification Church members to think that we have nothing to do with Christianity. Why is that so?

The Old Testament Age and New Testament Age existed in order to restore True Parents.

The Completed Testament Age also exists for the restoration of True Parents.

The content of those three ages is the same: restoration of True Parents.

The Messiah is, in fact, True Parents; therefore, the content and the purpose of Judaism, Christianity and the Unification Church are the same.

What about the Completed Testament Age? It is the cosmic level, the time of the desire to receive the True Parents even in the spirit world. The dimension is different. You must clearly differentiate them from one another.

Did his sacrifice on the cross then come to naught? Not at all (John 3:16). If it had, Christian history could not have existed.

We can never deny the magnitude of the grace of redemption by the cross.

Therefore, it is true that our faith in the cross can bring about redemption.

It is equally true that redemption by the cross has been unable to remove our original sin and restore us as men of the original nature who cannot commit sin; thus, it has been unable to establish the Kingdom of Heaven on earth. /DP73 page 142

Testimony from Spiritual World: Universal Link 1967

It is only during the last 50 years, that the Bible have gone out to all the earth’s peoples in the way, that was predicted, this has now been done, it has been fulfilled, and my Return can then also take place hierarchically.

I can well understand that my walking on earth two thousand years ago fills people’s minds and human thoughts, and I have also told some of what took place.

With regard to my existence on Earth it was so that when I came to earth incarnated, I knew nothing about my mission, until I was 28 years old.

Then my task was completely and clearly revealed. From childhood I clearly understood that I did not belong to this earth, I understood this absolutely clearly.

But what my mission actually was, I was not clear over. People have heard about my life on earth, and have heard that I started my mission. When I started my mission I had not only experienced what people call visions, I had had direct contacts, and then I understood clearly who I was, and what mission I had accepted.

Three Wise Men

The notion that Jesus had a biological father no longer belongs in the contemplative realm — where many would prefer it remain. It has crash landed with a resounding thud, and is narrowed down to one distinct individual.

But knowing that Zacharias was the father of Jesus is much more than just another interesting tidbit of information.

The Virgin And The Priest The Making Of The Messiah Mark Gibbs 2008

Not only does it turn two thousand years of Christian theology upside down, the truth of Jesus’ parentage opens up the possibility to understand other aspects of his life.

The Virgin And The Priest The Making Of The Messiah Mark Gibbs 2008

“As a priest who “walks blameless in the Lord,” Zacharias was recognized as God’s representative in the conception of his children. From the instant Mary’s impending pregnancy was announced, to the moment it was acknowledged, the only man mentioned by name in the narrative was Zacharias.

On the evidence of Luke’s gospel, Zacharias is the sole candidate to be the father of Jesus.”

Who was Jesus’ father? It is the same as Cain and Abel, one father had two descendants. When Mary conceived, it was in Zachariah’s home, where she stayed for six weeks. Who is Jesus’ father? (Zachariah.) I don’t know! You know well. You said it, not me. (Laughter.) Now is the time for everything to be revealed, there is nothing hidden. We come to know the truth, it is consistent and natural in every way. That is God’s law, it is simple. /SMM 1992

At the time of Jesus, the law was such that if any unmarried woman were to become pregnant she was supposed to be stoned to death. In such a strict society, how could Jesus even think about demanding a younger sister to become his own bride? Let us imagine ourselves in that time when the younger sister Mary actually took away Elizabeth’s husband and became pregnant. Then she gave birth to Jesus.

As Jesus grew up he was requesting to marry the younger sister from Elizabeth’s family. Can you imagine that? It was virtually impossible, because if it had become known to the general public then the families of Zachariah and Jesus would have been destroyed. /SMM 1996

B.C. A.D. Time

Deviced 525 Used 800 Pope 1582 Greg.Cal.

The Gregorian calendar, also called the Western calendar and the Christian calendar, is internationally the most widely accepted civil calendar.

It was introduced by Pope Gregory XIII, after whom the calendar was named, by a decree signed on 24 February 1582 the decree, a papal bull, is known by its opening words, Inter gravissimas.

The motivation for the Gregorian Calendar reform was that the Julian calendar assumes that the time between vernal equinoxes is 365.25 days, when in fact it is presently almost 11 minutes shorter.

The discrepancy results in a drift of about three days every 400 years.

Because the spring equinox was tied to the celebration of Easter, the Roman Catholic Church considered this steady movement in the date of the equinox undesirable.

I claim that John should have drawn the conclusion that HIS mission of preparing for the Messiah was finished and changing to a higher level when he baptised Jesus and after that he should with his FULLEST AUTHORITY followed as the prime disciple of Jesus.

How different situation for Jesus if he had John, the son of the head priest Zacharias supporting him.

Or imagine Saul (St Paul) following Jesus as a believer in Jesus already while the Messiah/Christ was walking the earth.

Speculations - yes …but they send a STRONG thoughtful message to us now 2014. What´s unusual and controversial NOW… DP interpretations, can later become common accepted truth.

i.e. Jesus came for Holy Marriage and have his family… give the Blessings to disciples and create a substantial KoH on Earth and in Heaven

Remember St Paul thought and clearly said… 1 Corinthians 2:8 ~ “Which none of the princes of this world knew: for had they known it, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory.”

No talking here of the necessary of a Cross for Salvation - 1 crystal clear point to SMM and DP directly from St Paul

• Had Eve prayed to God when Lucifer approached her…

• Had Adam prayed to God when Eve tempted him…

• Had the Scribes prayed to God about the return of Elijah, God would surely have told them that the Return of Elijah was manifest in John the Baptist, as Jesus claimed.

• Had John prayed in prison…

• Had Saul (later St Paul) prayed about Jesus and his followers he would surely not have percecuted the early Christians.

Jerusalem, the Spiritual centre of “the World”. A Holy city for Judaism, Christianity and Islam.

Greek: Christos means “anointed; chosen.”

It is the Greek equivalent of Jesus’ Hebrew title “Messiah.”

All people of the Christian faith recognize that God sent His true son Jesus Christ to earth two thousand years ago to save humankind.

However, Jesus suffered a miserable fate. The leaders of Judaism and the people of Israel were supposed to receive Jesus as the Messiah and follow him with absolute faith, absolute love and absolute obedience.

All people of the Christian faith recognize that God sent His true son Jesus Christ to earth two thousand years ago to save humankind.

They should never have allowed Jesus’ crucifixion to take place. He suddenly left this world, leaving behind the words, “It is finished.”

Hence, he should have graduated from the individual level to the family level in order to stay the course.

After the Fall, fallen Adam (& Eve) established a lineage connected to Satan.

This is the resaon Divine Principle teaches Jesus did not originally came to die on the cross. But to establish a family, have children, grandchildren and a new Gods pure sinless lineage on Earth.

Thats why very logically Jesus had to promise to come again to fulfill this.

What was fulfilled in the Cross was the indemnity-payment for rejecting Jesus! A New Messianic start = 2nd Israel = Christianity

And faith in Jesus as Messiah have for 2000 years brought spiritual but not physical salvation.

Standing in the position of Adam on God’s side, Jesus had to establish a lineage connected to God. This would have been possible only if Jesus had married.

Standing in the position of Adam on God’s side, Jesus had to establish a lineage connected to God. This would have been possible only if Jesus had married.

Once again, without having a wife, Jesus could neither establish nor enter God’s Kingdom.

“Yeshua” in First Century Hebrew Text This is how the name “Jesus” would have been written in ancient Hebrew documents. Jesus is the Greek name for the Hebrew name Joshua or Y’shua which means “The LORD or Yahweh is Salvation”.

Ichthys (more commonly spelled Ichthus, or sometimes Ikhthus, from Greek is the ancient and classical Greek word for “fish”. Used by Early Christians as a secret symbol and now known colloquially as the “sign of the fish” or the “Jesus fish.”

There are several other hypotheses as to why the fish was chosen.

• Recommendation of Clement of Alexandria to his readers (Paedagogus, III, xi) to engrave their seals with the dove or fish.

There are several other hypotheses as to why the fish was chosen.

• Recommendation of Clement of Alexandria to his readers (Paedagogus, III, xi) to engrave their seals with the dove or fish.

• Another probable explanation is that it is a reference to the scripture in which Jesus miraculously feeds 5,000 people with fish and bread.

• The ichthys may also relate to Jesus or his disciples as “fishers of men” (e.g., Mark 1:17).

• Tertullian, in his treatise On Baptism, makes a pun on the word, writing that “we, little fishes, after the example of our Jesus Christ, are born in water.”

• The ichthys may also relate to Jesus or his disciples as “fishers of men” (e.g., Mark 1:17).

• Tertullian, in his treatise On Baptism, makes a pun on the word, writing that “we, little fishes, after the example of our Jesus Christ, are born in water.”

• Still another explanation could be the reference to The Sign of Jonah. Just like he was in the belly of a prehistoric fish so Christ was crusified, was entombed for three days, and then rose from the dead.

The early Christian faith was sometimes called The Way, (Acts 19:1,9,23; 24:22)

Followers of the Way - “and [Saul who became Paul] asked for letters from him to the synagogues at Damascus, so that if he found any belonging to the Way, both men and women, he might bring them bound to Jerusalem,” (Acts 9:2).

The early Christian faith was sometimes called The Way, (Acts 19:1,9,23; 24:22)

• The Spiritual Way of sexual purity – in DP vocabulary!

Jesus was called Rabbi, by respectful Jews, like Lazarus and Nicodemus, at the time. Probably Gamaliel and others as well. Jesus was a Jew, in the very traditional sense of what a Jew was, but he was also a Jew who was a Tzaddik, or holy man.

The word “ tzaddik” literally means “righteous one.” The term refers to a completely righteous individual, and generally indicates that the person has spiritual or mystical power.

4 Evangelists

Matthew and Angel, by Caravaggio (1602).

Heavenly Inspiration

The 4 Gospels

Mark - Matthew - Luke - John

The 4 Gospels

- Mark : mostly Gentiles, fairly new in their faith, and facing persecutions

- A number of people in the New Testament are named Mark and any could, in theory, have been the author behind the gospel of Mark. Tradition has it that the Gospel According to Mark was written by Mark, a companion of Peter, who simply recorded what Peter preached in Rome (1 Peter 5:13)

The 4 Gospels

- Mathew: better educated Jews who believe in Jesus, but argue over the Law

- Matthew is considered the most “Jewish” gospel.

- Matthew is recorded as one of Jesus’ original disciples in all four gospels and in Acts. In the gospel of Matthew he is described as a tax collector; in parallel accounts, however, the tax collector Jesus encounters is named “Levi.” Christians have traditionally thought that this was an example of a double naming.

The 4 Gospels

- Luke: wealthier Gentile Christians in an urban setting, becoming complacent

- Luke is mentioned three times in New Testament letters attributed to Paul. The inauthentic passages describe Luke as “the beloved physician.” The authentic passage describes him as someone working with Paul. This same Luke is usually identified as the author of the gospel of Luke and Acts.

The 4 Gospels

- John: very mixed: mostly Jews, some Gentiles, Samaritans, etc.

- John, the son of Zebedee, was called along with this brother James (“the Great”) to be one of Jesus’ twelve apostles who would accompany him on his ministry. John appears in the lists of apostles in the synoptic gospels as well as Acts. John and his brother James were given the nickname “Boanerges” (sons of thunder) by Jesus; some believe this was a reference to their tempers. He appears to have first been a disciple of John the Baptist before following Jesus.

The author tried to, with respect to language and concepts, explain the Christian gospel, that for his Gentile readers were more understandable than the strict Jewish expression.

Absolute Sex Movement Ends Individual Salvation Mindedness in Unificationists

However in the New Testament era, the eternal, or, humanistic value of the individual brought us together as a community of man. Then, in the Completed Testament era, the basic unit of community was introduced as family (no longer individuals). And now, in the era after “Foundation Day” we are to recognize the harmonious union of the married couples (Absolute Sex), of higher value, than the value of the individual spouses.

Absolute Sex Movement Ends Individual Salvation Mindedness in Unificationists

We are entering the “Family Salvation” era, when, our individual needs and wants, no matter how publicly centered, never takes precedence over our spouse’s needs and wants.

Hence the arrival of Absolute Sex movement, which at its core, is all about exchanging our will to the will of our spouse, as we exchange the ownership of our sexual organs to the other!

Suffering Prophecied

3 He is despised and rejected of men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief: and we hid as it were our faces from him; he was despised, and we esteemed him not. 4 Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows: Mt. 8.17 yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted. 5 But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him and with his stripes we are healed. 1 Pet. 2.24 Isiah 53

Suffering Prophecied

6 All we like sheep have gone astray; 1 Pet. 2.25 we have turned every one to his own way; and the LORD hath laid on him the iniquity of us all. 7 He was oppressed, and he was afflicted, Isiah 53 yet he opened not his mouth: he is brought as a lamb to the slaughter, Rev. 5.6 and as a sheep before her shearers is dumb, so he openeth not his mouth. 8 He was taken from prison and from judgment: and who shall declare his generation? for he was cut off out of the land of the living: Acts 8.32,33 for the transgression of my people was he stricken.

Suffering Prophecied

9 And he made his grave with the wicked, and with the rich in his death; because he Isiah 53 had done no violence, neither was any deceit in his mouth. 1 Pet. 2.22

23 And the governor (Pontius Pilate) said,

Why, what evil hath he done? But they cried out the more, saying, Let him be crucified.

24 When Pilate saw that he could prevail nothing,

but that rather a tumult was made, he took water, and washed his hands before the multitude, saying, I am innocent of the blood of this just person: see ye to it.

25 Then answered all the people, and said,

His blood be on us, and on our children.

In 1948, Israel became independent; therefore, some might think it reasonable for the Lord to come back to Israel.

Korea also became independent in 1948. However, Korea was liberated from Japanese colonization, in contrast to modern Israel’s situation. Conceivably both countries may have become independent at the same time because the physical Israel inherited something from the spiritual Israel, Korea.

The fact that the Jewish people, who had been wandering for 2000 years, found their nation, shows that all their sins had been forgiven.

Therefore, they could return to their original position. The prophecy that Israel would be restored when Jesus returned was fulfilled.

Because Jesus’ death was indemnified, mankind was able to receive forgiveness and the Lord of the Second Advent could come.

The Divine Principle clearly confirm Jesus Messianic Mission. He came as the New 2nd Adam. But his death on the cross was a secondary Mission, Primary he came with the Mission to establish True Parents A new 2nd Adam together with 2nd Eve. Forgiving Original Sin, and establish a New Sinless History of Mankind.

This would answer the healthy questions regarding the Salvation of the Cross. 1. Why does FORGIVENESS have to be repeated within ones Christian life 2. And throughout every new born Generation? 3. If Jesus came as New Adam, where was the New Eve? 4. Why is the World still evil, if Jesus fulfilled all on the Cross. 5. Why should there be a need of a Second Coming? …

At the time of Jesus’ crucifixion there was a thief on the right and a thief on the left, and in front of Jesus was Barabbas.

The term right-wing or left-wing was not derived today. What was planted in Jesus’ time now has been harvested as right and left wings. (Democracy-Communism)

The left-side thief said to Jesus, “If you are the Son of God save us”. He denied Jesus. The right-side thief said to the left-side thief, “Of course, we should die because of our sin; but this person should not die because he has no sin”. He was on the side of Jesus, overcame difficulties and defended him. Therefore, the thief on the right went to Paradise with Jesus. We know this from the Bible.

What kind of person was Barabbas? He was saved by Jesus, but he was against Jesus. Therefore, such a cultural realm should emerge. This is the Islamic realm. Islam, on the one hand has the Koran, and on the other hand, the sword.

3. Resurrection

Jesus was truly victorious over death

It appeared to me that the soul and body of Jesus were taken together out of the sepulchre, without, however, the former being completely reunited to the latter, which still remained inanimate.

I thought I saw two angels who were kneeling and adoring at the head and feet of the sacred body, raise it — keeping it in the exact position in which it was lying in the tomb — and carry it uncovered and disfigured with wounds across the rock, which trembled as they passed.

It then appeared to me that Jesus presented his body, marked with the stigmas of the Passion, to his Heavenly Father, who, seated on a throne, was surrounded by innumerable choirs of angels, blissfully occupied in pouring forth hymns of adoration and jubilee. /Anne Catherine Emmerich

Dr Young Oon Kim: We can find an important tradition about the risen Jesus in Paul’s letters which is twenty years closer to Jesus’ earthly ministry (I Cor. 15:3).

Paul relates two very significant facts: a list of resurrection appearances which he claims to have received from the original apostolic community and each appearance was like his own mystical experience on the Damascus road.

That means the first resurrection appearances were of the spiritual Jesus. More importantly, Paul nowhere refers to the empty tomb.

Doesn’t this suggest that in his time-twenty years before Mark-Christians did not believe that Jesus’ tomb was found empty?

Guignebert and others therefore conclude that the tomb stories were later legends added by Christian apologists in order to demonstrate the reality of Jesus’ resurrection.

When I read the passage about the similarity of the time of Jesus’ birth and the Second Coming, I started to joke about this “nonsense.” In the next moment, I was stunned. I saw Jesus pass through the room, saying, “I am in this place!” Then he disappeared as he had entered. A wave of peace settled around me.

In the following days, I was so concerned not to make a mistake. When I knelt down to pray to ask if this was 1 really the truth, it was ringing from all sides, “Yes! Yes!” and God chastised me gently, “Why do you ask me again? This was my answer.”

From that time on, I started to study the Divine Principle and Reverend Moon with a calm mind and the assurance that God and Jesus had led me there.

/Testimony of Barbara Grabner 2008

January 1, 1976. As a young church member, I was always curious as to whether Father Moon could 2 heal people. Then in 1982, I got the answer through a direct experience.

I had injured my right hip during a martial arts training accident one Saturday afternoon and had to be carried out. I did not want to go to the hospital, because I did not want to miss our early 5:00 A M service, even though I was in excruciating pain. “I will see a doctor after service,” I thought.

But during the night Father Moon came to me, looking very serious, and touched my right hip. 2 He pointed his finger at me with that look in his eyes, as if to say, “You doubting Thomas,” and then he left.

I was awakened at 4:30 AM, and my thoughts went to my injured hip. Suddenly, a voice said, “Get up,” which I apprehensively did. To my amazement there was not an inkling of pain. Everyone was shocked when I walked into the room. After service I gave my testimony. / Richard J. Francis

At the end of twenty-one days, I watched a video of True Father 3 (Reverend Moon) for the first time.

As he appeared on the screen, I started to hear angels’ voices singing a song I had sung every Easter with my church choir back in Minnesota: “The King is coming, the King is coming, I can hear the trumpets sounding, and soon his face I’ll see.”

With uncontrollable tears streaming 3 down my face, I again felt embraced by Jesus and the Holy Spirit and received the revelation that Sun Myung Moon was God’s son (Messiah). I realized that everything in my life had prepared me for this.

/GINGER NICHOLLS 1980s

1974: I found myself walking in a dark corridor, 4 at the end of which I saw a light. Getting closer, I saw in that bright light the face of Jesus.

Then Jesus’ face changed into Sun Myung Moon’s face. I had the strong feeling that it was the same heart; only the external appearance changed. I felt profoundly happy!

My challenge to all true Christians is to pray and ask Jesus to appear in their dreams. Ask Jesus about the identity of Reverend Moon. Remember Matthew 7:7. If you sincerely ask, definitely the reply will 4 come, even faster than you expect.

Since the time I first met the Unification Church, which is now known as the Family Federation for World Peace and Unification, I have had many dream encounters and many other spiritual experiences. These, along with the clarity of Divine Principle, became the foundation of my belief, faith, and trust in God.

/Elisabeth Ciacciarelli Schneider Italy

In the Footsteps of the Apostles They were unlikely leaders. As the Bible tells it, most knew more about mending nets than winning converts when Jesus said he would make them “fishers of men.” Yet 2,000 years later, all over the world, the Apostles are still drawing people in.

SPIRITUAL COMMUNICATION WITH THE APOSTLE PAUL GIVEN THROUGH THE CLAIRAUDIENT MEDIUMSHIP OF REV. LOUIS W. LUSARDE

MAY “20-21, 1962”

St Paul 1962

Rev. Lusardi (if I recall the spelling correctly) was a spiritual medium living in the SF Bay area. He was young enough at the time to still be living today. He was the one who received the message from the Apostle Paul.

The message(s) were circulated and read in the US movement (Dr. Kim’s branch) in the late 60s and early 70s. I remember feeling at the time that they had the ring of truth to them.

/Dan Fefferman

St Paul 1962

The Jews fell away because they thought that the Old Testament was sufficient for them. Their rejection of Jesus is proof enough they were blinded to the fact that He was the fullfilment of the scriptures.

I bear witness to the fact that the Old Testament and the New Testament combined are not sufficient to live by in the New Cosmic Age we have ascended into.

St Paul 1962

To be saved, every man, woman and child must commence their mission before they leave this earth plane. And before they can do this they must find the reason for the original sin and what original sin is.

Perfection and resurrection can only be achieved through work and that work must be done in the body, the spirit of Truth demands it.

St Paul 2001

New Message 9th of September 2001:

Now after learning the Principle, I became even more confident that the Apostle Paul’s traditional view of God was very mistaken. We necessarily should have attended God, the resurrected Jesus and the Messiah. Whenever people frustrated God’s Will, they prolonged the history of the Dispensation for Restoration, requiring a new central figure.

St Paul 2001

True Parents! The partial ideas Paul planted into Christianity have acted as obstacles to the providence of the Messiah, haven’t they?

Now in spirit world I will never repeat my mistakes.

I promise to study the Principle and lead Christian believers here in the right direction.

I have been making thorough preparation for accomplishing my assigned mission.

Blaise Pascal

A defense of the Christian religion by Blaise Pascal, the renowned 17th century philosopher and mathematician.

Given the possibility that God actually does exist and assuming the infinite gain or loss associated with belief in God or with unbelief, a rational person should live as though God exists and seek to believe in God.

If God does not actually exist, such a person will have only a finite loss (some pleasures, luxury, etc.)

Sun Myung Moon

“God’s existence is a philosophical problem for me. I’m not even sure he exists,” an early disciple said.

“You’re asking the wrong question,” Moon said. “You should not be thinking does God exist or not. It’s too theoretical.

Sun Myung Moon

Ask instead, why does God exist? What does he exist for? If there’s an answer to that question, the question about God’s existence answers itself “

“What I mean is, if you figure out why God exists, everything falls into place, including the fact of God’s existence. The question is, does the relationship exist, the relationship between God and man.“

The Byzantine Iconoclasm refers to two periods in the history of the Byzantine Empire when the use of religious images or icons was opposed by religious and imperial authorities within the Eastern Church and the temporal imperial hierarchy.

The “First Iconoclasm”, as it is sometimes called, lasted between about 726 and 787.

The “Second Iconoclasm” was between 814 and 842.

According to the traditional view, Byzantine Iconoclasm constituted a ban on religious images It was accompanied by widespread destruction of images.

The Western church remained firmly in support of the use of images throughout the period, and the whole episode widened the growing divergence between the East and Western tradition.

Satan, who seized the physical body of Jesus, God’s first-born, continued to hold possession of the earthly world, while God held the heavenly world.

After going to the spirit world, Jesus spent 2,000 years preparing the path. While he worked in the spirit world to focus the world of the mind on the goal of unification, he was working in the earthly world by establishing the foundation for Christianity.

However, Christianity became divided between Catholicism and Protestantism, which were in the roles of the struggling brothers, Cain and Abel.

These adversaries continue to fight each other today.

On 15 March 1840 he began hearing an ‘inner voice’ from the region of his heart and thereafter transcribed what it said. New Revelation 10,000 pages in print. The New “Gospel of John” contains 2000 pages claimed directly from Jesus.

Can you imagine a more frustrating experience than the one God had?

Here is God who among all the peoples in the world chose the Jews to become “His own people” because they were the only ones who in the old days had kept the belief in One God.

He made a covenant with them (Abraham), freed them from slavery in Egypt, gave them a unique law, gave them a beautiful land, educated them, blessed them and forgave them their many sins.

But when He finally comes to visit them in human form in Jesus to bring them eternal life they reject Him and kill His body.

Helen Schucman, Ph.D., was a clinical and research psychologist. A Course in Miracles was “scribed” by Dr. Schucman between 1965 and 1972 through a process of inner dictation.

She experienced the process as one of a distinct and clear dictation from an inner voice, which earlier had identified itself to her as Jesus.

Time is under MY (Jesus) direction, but Timelessness belongs to God alone. In time, we exist for and with each other. In Timelessness, we coexist with God.

Remarkable Messages from the Spiritual Realm

1. Jesus’ Message to Christians and All People on Earth

• I came to Earth with the mission from God to be the Messiah. In the Bible I could not reveal all of the conflicts between the religious believers and non-believers in those days. In fact, there are many providential matters that the Bible does not reveal.

• Dear Christians and all people on Earth, please pray over this matter while fasting. Then I will appear to you and clearly tell you the truth. When you do it, you should with a pure heart.

Reverend Sun Myung Moon is the one who came to Earth to complete my mission that was not fulfilled through the redemption of the cross.

He comes as the True Parent to conclude God’s providence in the Completed Testament Age.

• Reverend Sun Myung Moon is the returning Messiah for whom you have been waiting and waiting. He inherited my mission at the age of 16.

Dear Christians, are you still looking up and waiting for Christ to return on the clouds?

Reverend Moon travels throughout the world on the clouds.

He is investing all of his heart and soul for the realization of world peace.

• Dear fellow Christians, fellow Buddhists, and believers of various religions!

The four great religious founders, Jesus, Buddha, Confucius, and Mohammed, and saints such as Socrates, Augustine and others, have already held this seminar a number of times.

Its theme is always the same: “ God is the Parent of All Humankind.” During the seminars, we are always studying the Divine Principle revealed by Reverend Moon. /April 5, 2001

So are we Unificationists Christian?

Both Yes and No! (according to my personal view)

The point I try to make is that it is misleading to just say we are Christians They will think traditional traditional Christians.

Yes we in UC do believe in Jesus as the Messiah and in his salvation through His blood. But that was secondary not primary mission!

Yes we believe in the Bible both Old and New Testament, BUT NOT THE Classical interpretation about Jesus. To say we ARE Christian Would lead people to the wrong conclusion that we believe exactly like Christian faith for 2000 year have done - That the Fall was just disobediense - That Jesus came merely to die on the Cross - That this was Gods will and only plan - Belief in Jesus and that only Jesus himself will fulfill the Return of Christ

All wrong in DP view.

In order not to mislead we should (in my understanding) say:

- we beleive in New Revelation - based on Old and New Test, like the words of Jesus was continuing revelation and a New Covenant - the Fall was spiritual and physical sexual to its nature - the Second Coming is in the flesh, and not only Jesus, who really died physically 2000 yrs ago and lost his physical body.

…so on, see Divine Principle

From mailings: Of course you know all this Gudrun, but that was my point…Kirsti is CORRECT saying we are not Christian or far away from TRADITIONAL Christian teaching I agree :-)

For me it was interesting to see how my own faith bounsed at Kirstis statements. The strongest objection I have, is like I wrote IF…physical intercourse was needed between sinless Messiah…for whatever reason…that would be official, explained in detailed theological terms …so on. Its not part of DP at all.

The opposite, sexual purity is the very core of DP teaching!

Quotes from Ten Theologians Respond to the Unification Church – Edited by Herbert Richardson 1981

“The Christ’s mission was to restore the broken relationship between man and woman and humans and God by taking a Bride and raising children in a God-centered family. “

From this aspect, the mission of Jesus was incomplete.

Certain Christian critics of Unification theology object that, since Divine Principle teaches that Jesus failed in his mission, Unification “cannot be regarded as Christian,“

*1 Against this objection, two things m a y be said.

First, Divine Principle does not precisely say that Jesus failed but, rather, that the will of G o d for the full spiritual and physical restoration of humanity was failed by the disbelief of the people in Jesus (DP, p. 196).

Second, Divine Principle claims that Jesus and the Holy Spirit did fulfill their mission of “spiritual True Parents” (DP p. 217).

It remains the role of the Lord of the Second Advent and his Bride to bring the physical restoration in line with the spiritual restoration already fulfilled by Jesus and the Holy Spirit,

Source: http://www.tparents.org/UTS/10T/0-Toc.htm

It is absolutely wrong for Unification Church members to think that we have nothing to do with Christianity.

Why is that so? The Old Testament Age and New Testament Age existed in order to restore True Parents. The Completed Testament Age also exists for the restoration of True Parents.

The content of those three ages is the same: restoration of True Parents. You should have such a concept.

The Messiah is, in fact, True Parents; therefore, the content and the purpose of Judaism, Christianity and the Unification Church are the same.

Then what is different? Judaism wanted to receive the Messiah on a national level, and then to expand it to the whole world. Christianity was formed after Jesus’ death in order to receive the Messiah on the worldwide foundation. What about the Completed Testament Age? It is the cosmic level, the time of the desire to receive the True Parents even in the spirit world. The dimension is different. You must clearly differentiate them from one another.

(SMM 1984.4.29. East Garden)

What did Jesus do on earth? He paved the way for defeating Satan, the representative of all evil spirits.

But he paved the way only fifty percent; that is why he must come again to pave the way a hundred percent. (SMM 1985.1.1)

Jesus + Bride 50% + 50% = 100% True Parents
