FATHER WAS RIGHT!

It is love, life and LINEAGE.


Rev. Hyung Jin Moon’s most recent sermons truly validate Father’s insistence of the importance of lineage in his series:

  • Blood Wars-11/08/2015
  • Living Blood-11/15/2015
  • Good vs Evil Blood-11/22/2015

Hyung Jin Nim talks about the impact of reproductive strategies that affect our DNA causing two distinct divisions of how people see and react to the world around them.  These strategies are:
  • “r” type strategy of adaptation - Unpredictable Environment - reproduce quickly - single parenting
  • “K” type strategy of adaptation - Quality over quantity - High investment into offspring / High loyalty
He ties in how these strategies affect us as individuals and societies, as well as our blood lineage, to how important it is for us to graft to the Messiah’s lineage.  He covers how Epigenetics, the study of the field of genetics connects to Father’s words.  Science and Religion agree.

Blown Away Again!

According to the Exposition of the Divine Principle:



"Religion and science, setting out with the missions of dispelling the two aspects of human ignorance, have seemed in the course of their development to take positions that were contradictory and irreconcilable. However, for humankind to completely overcome the two aspects of ignorance and fully realize the goodness which the original mind desires, at some point in history there must emerge a new truth which can reconcile religion and science and resolve their problems in an integrated undertaking."


I’ve always believed this fundamental point that both science and religion should help us understand and appreciate God the creator of all things internal and external.  As a computer programmer by trade, I really resonate with this logic. We also have that logic in the Principle of the dualities in nature that clearly explains so much about the Cosmos.  When I first joined the church this beautiful awesome conception of how the Universe was created as an expression of God’s heart, intellect and will just blew me away.


Now I have been blown away again!  Hyung Jin Nim brings religion and science together in a very powerful, unique and insightful way.


Hyung Jin Nim’s two most recent sermons have lifted a veil of darkness from my eyes.  Especially now living in the shadows of my wife’s hometown of Berkeley, CA, I have wondered how there can be two such sharply divided views of life and politics that are delineated by liberalism and conservatism.  In these two sermons he points out that there is a battle between God and Satan over the DNA of our blood and that Father is absolutely correct about the importance of lineage.  In these two sermons Hyung Jin Nim discusses this battle from both religious terms and scientific explanations in a powerful way.  This is a stunning summary of so many things.


I will not attempt to explain this amazing revelation in this short post.  My only hope is to whet your appetite to listen to these sermons if you have not already heard them or listen to them again if you have.

Imagine

​Mark Alexander wrote this wonderful piece that I have entitled:

Imagine that you were Hyung Jin Nim 


This was written in response to a letter by Larry Moffitt and appeared on Facebook but it is too good to just let it pass.  

Frankly I have a hard time imagining what Hyung Jin Nim has gone through and how sincerely he has been working to uphold True Father's legacy.  Mark puts things into perspective.

Please read.

It can be found under Featured Documents of the Library page in Sanctuary-NorCal.org

Very Important 8 minutes... A must listen

STOP THE PRESSES!


What did she just say?  Audio  Video


This short excerpt from Hyung Jin Nim's sermon last week needs to be heard by all Unificationists everywhere.  On Oct 24th, Han Mother proclaimed that the 2000 year history was not so Jesus could come again and restore the Eve position as Divine Principle says.  Instead she said that Christian history was "...for finding the Only Begotten Daughter." She continued to say that the history of the Korean peninsula "was to await the birth of the Lord of the Second Advent; the Only Begotten Daughter."

Sorry but this does not jive with my understanding of Divine Principle or True Father's teachings.  So if you are still following FFWPU, I am wondering how this squares with your understanding of the principles of restoration.


This excerpt is only 8 minutes and 21 seconds.

Eight Great Textbooks Available for Easy Download

...Father spoke these words, directed these texts, supervised their publications, blessed them, and for me, that settles it! 


As True Father said, "I am leaving behind eight textbooks and teaching materials for humankind to use for all eternity."  


Father's words are Father's words.  No matter how united Han Mother might have been or might be, it is impossible to change words that have been spoken and recorded.   Politicians always seem to try to take back their own words, but even that is impossible.


True Father freely gave these words to the world and has entrusted them to his heir Hyung Jin Moon.  I am sure not all the interpretations are perfect, the English may not be completely accurate, or that the order of things may not always make the best sense.  But Father spoke these words, directed these text, supervised their publications, and blessed them, and for me, that settles it!  What part of "all eternity" don't people understand?


These documents are freely available in the Library section at Sanctuary-NorCal.org.  And, because these are in digital (PDF) format, it is possible to do your own searches and explore them easily.


Use wisely!

"Foundations of Cheon Il Guk" by Hyung Jin Moon - 2015-11-01 Sermon

Audio Podcast is now available.

This sermon covers such important topics of the family as the cornerstone of society. Hyung Jin Nim and Yeon Ah Nim talk about being true men and women, true husband and wife, as well as childrearing. The Kingdom of Heaven is not fairy tale kind of place, but real people facing real issues of growth, freedom and responsibility. Very powerful.
