My response to Michael Balcomb being accused of approving homosexual blessings

I can’t not respond to this lie being told about my brothers and sisters in Christ and my friend, Michael Balcomb:

Father Moon occasionally mentioned that Jesus made strategic or tactical errors in an effort to desperately get people to accept and support him as the messiah. For example, Jesus used miracles to gain quick converts, but those fair-whether disciples who were just looking for handouts all abandoned him in the end. Also, like Moses, Jesus may have gotten overly angry at times with the powerful religious leaders in Jerusalem, which didn’t help and ultimately made a difficult situation even worse.

But everyone knows that there is a difference between a moral mistake (sin) and a strategic mistake. There are certain things that Father Moon felt he had to do, that God wanted him to do, in order to accomplish his messianic mission. Based on the result, some of these things may have been strategic errors. It’s easy to be a Monday morning quarterback, but God always gives complete responsibility to leading providential figures like Jesus and Father Moon, expecting them to figure out the best way to accomplish their mission to restore the world. Sometimes, unorthodox behavior by God’s champions carries the day, as in the case of Tamar, Ruth, and Mary the mother of Jesus. But strategies and tactics aside, the motivation of a man in position of messiah to bring about the Will of God on earth is absolute and pure as the driven snow, even though we may lean back in our easy chairs later and attempt to question the efficacy of some of the things Jesus or Father Moon felt they had to do.

It is so unfortunate, that although this content has been discussed publicly and is well known to people like Hyung Jin Moon, Jon Quinn, and Richard Panzer, they choose to continue to ignore it and instead twist the words of leaders and members of the Family Federation, apparently hoping to reap the harvest of disgruntled members they intend to create. The latest accusation in the header above is typically bogus. Anybody who knows Father Moon well knows that he, like Jesus, was morally incorruptible and a man absolutely determined to accomplish his mission!

Hyung Jin Moon and his wife, Yeon-Ah, were installed BY AND ON BEHALF OF True Parents as their future successors on earth. In other words, this couple was to support the decisions of both Father and Mother Moon as long as at least one of them was still on earth. But right now, the Unification Movement is in schism because the spiritual confusion of this once promising young couple has led them to i) not see True Mother from God’s point of view, ii) leave their proper position of at least supporting TM even while personally disagreeing with her at times, iii) reverse dominion by placing themselves over TM and putting an old, infirm lady they can control in her place, and, iv) multiple their spiritual confusion by twisting the truth in order to actively recruit anyone who is similarly disgruntled or naive enough to follow them.

I am sure the deep prayer of all Family Federation members is that every alienated member of the physical family of our True Mother can discern the truth from the lies and humbly reconcile with her as soon as possible. After all, we are all Unificationists because of True Father and True Mother!
