The Fall Of Adam And Eve

Why did Adam and Eve, created by the omniscient God, fall? This is an important theological problem.

Many Christians believe, what literally is written in the Bible, that Adam and Eve fell by eating the fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. If this were a literal fruit, then it would not have been a big problem. However, when we see the history of restoration providence taking six thousand years, we can understand that Adam and Eve did not fall by merely eating a literal fruit.

Then, by what did Adam and Eve fall? In one word, Adam and Eve fell through the problem of love. Because of this, the providence of restoration has taken thousands of years and had to be prolonged so many times until now. Many religious believers did not know about this fact until now.

Then who distorted love? It was the archangel who twisted the love of Adam and Eve The archangel formed a relationship with Eve by seducing her and mistreating Adam. Therefore, the direction of Adam and Eve’s love, which should have pursued God according to the true path centered on their parents’ love, shifted to a different direction.

This is why all humans who were to inherit God’s blood inherited Satan’s blood instead. Most religious

believers have never even dreamed about this level of understanding.

In the Bible is a verse which says, “Do not eat of the fruit of the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil.” This commandment was given because something had the possibility of destroying the relationship between God and human beings. The Principle solves this problem very clearly. The Principle is a great gospel that can save all people, who are living in suffering.

We cannot say that the fruit was literal. Why would God create a fruit that could cause a situation in which all humankind would suffer in struggles and destruction for millions of years? That the fruit symbolizes a problem of love is much more plausible.

Where did the fall start? What does it mean that Adam and Eve fell as a family? Nothing other than love could have made Adam and Eve fall as a family. What kind of fruit would make thousands of future generations become sinners? This is a blood relationship. If a root of sin is planted in the blood lineage, it would continue eternally according to the law of inheritance. Only the problem of love could make this happen. Mistaken love was the cause of the fall.

The fall started when Adam and Eve were seduced by illicit love which violated the heavenly law.

When you come to know about love, everything becomes connected. You can understand not only the facts of the horizontal earthly world, but also your spiritual eyes will allow you to understand the multi- dimensional spirit world. Therefore, you reach a stage at which you can meet and relate with God directly.

However, Adam and Eve fell before their love senses developed. They had an illicit relationship with the archangel. This was the fundamental cause of the destruction of the universe.

Because of love, the fall occurred. The starting point of love is not the eyes or mouth. The fall occurred through the love organs of man and woman. Everything came to be destroyed because of the fall.

The unifying point of love is where all the senses are brought together. However, through the fall, the standard was destroyed, damaging the entire universe.

We are to grow centering on love; however, when damage is caused through love, God retreats. In this respect, the fall cannot be anything other than an accident of love. This is why it became a problem to God, to humankind and to history. Only an accident of love can cause such a shock, as the greatest catastrophe in the whole universe.

Forming a love relationship with Satan was the cause of the fall.

The fall means that we fell together with Satan and left God.

The fall initiated an illicit motivation in the blood lineage. This is why the result of the fall has been inherited until today as the original sin.

Amazingly, Reverend Moon has revealed at this time that the fall resulted from immature love. It is an undeniable fact.

The reason that the omniscient and omnipotent God could not prevent the fall is as follows :

Adam and Eve should have developed their love up to the level desired by God. But since they fell during

the process of their growth, God, who must maintain the absoluteness of love, could not prevent their fall. As we human beings have to go through the period of adolescence, Adam and Eve were to become perfect after going through a certain growth period. Then they were to become united with God, but they fell before reaching that stage.

If Adam and Eve had understood the internal feelings of God, they would not have been able to fall even if they had tried to. Parents have a heart of love for their child, but the child cannot understand this deep heart of the parents. The fall occurred when Adam and Eve were very young. But wasn’t the motivation of the fall not because of their young age, but rather due to the immaturity of their heart-? If Adam and Eve had felt that “God is related to me. I cannot separate myself from Him,” then they would not have been able to fall. The fall occurred because Adam and Eve did not have that unity of heart. The fall happened because God’s wish and Adam and Eve’s wishes differed, and because the direction of Adam and Eve’s thinking and the heavenly thinking differed.

What was the fall? The fall began when we followed self-centered love, forgetting to see heaven and earth, human beings and God. Therefore, any society where adultery is prevalent will perish.

The fall resulted from the archangel and Eve together trying to destroy the husband.

The fall was man and woman separating, Adam and Eve becoming enemies.

The most serious among all sins is the sin that destroyed God’s love. We must know this heavenly law. Unquestionably, Adam mistook his original duty as a brother and Eve mistook her duty as a sister. When Eve was seduced by the archangel, Eve was to ask Adam and Adam was to ask God. However, by deciding by themselves, they went the way of the fall.

What do you think the fall means? The fall means that we cannot live as the original ideal human beings, becoming the true husband and wife of love desired by God, and living with God centering on love.

Adam and Eve, who should have united with each other centering on God, instead united with the archangel, who was the servant. This was the fall. Humankind, which was to inherit the blood lineage of God, inherited the blood of the servant instead. This is why no matter how often fallen people called God their “Father,” they could not experience the real feeling of being His children.

This is because we inherited the original fallen nature that makes us think only self-centeredly, whether about God or anything else. If a conflicting being forms a clan and a tribe, as time passes, everything will become conflictive. The realm of satanic culture was formed from one dividing into two and two into three, and then finally becoming completely separated.

God has been working on a providence of unification to bring the divided cultural realms together. Every human being has an original mind that tries to be one with the central existence of the universe. However, the central existence of the universe now is not God, but Satan. Therefore, whenever we try to seek the center, we end up becoming unhappy rather than happy. This miserable history is expanding.
