Thank you for the wonderful programs to contribute to the world of peace.
I can trust science and also have faith in god. I don’t need an explanation, I’m an evolutionary geneticist and people ask how I’m Christian when I live and will die by my love for my passion for my craft. Faith is faith. That’s enough for me. I have more complex opinions and disagree here and there. I still love Christ and the sacrifice made for my soul. The life god lived in earth to help me be redeemed. One’s one and the others the other don’t mix shit if it ain’t need be mixed. So at the end of the day from an objective and expert viewpoint on the topic… it’s just wrong. Just do good science and be a good Christian stop fucking it all up by blurring clear lines. It’s simple. Theology isn’t science Humans aren’t super special. Life’s complexity is more beautiful than that. There is no purpose. That’s not how evolution works. have faith and make your own meaning.
Thank you Dr. Andrew Wilson.
Thank you Dr. Wilson, I so want to read True Father's first and only book before I go to the spiritual world. I hope that will be so. I am grateful for your diligence and perseverance in this work. Anne-Marie Mylar
RIP Henry 🌹
So good, so informative. Thank you Dr. Wilson and all.
Thank you for posting this on RUclips. I learned a lot. Please share more!
Thank you Dr Wilson, for your devotion and humility before such a large task. It seems to me that Father fulfilled his fundamental mission of finding the Only Begotten Daughter, the Bride, then surely he trusts her as his object partner in ways that we cannot fathom. I hope this book can be published in a timely fashion. Thank you again very very much.
This is like a watching group of rabbits together and thinking they are discussing a topic like patriotism or art. Humans are only one step higher than other mammals development in that they can exchange this chattering noise for food and shelter rather than forage directly from their environment. Humanity abstracting "a god" seems to be a shortcut to having a self satisfying faux knowledge of the universe or a way of "spiritually" understanding it. Presentations like this are at the least,, annoying and at worst, dangerous. What religion certainly does do is externalize personal consequences (a providence of "beLIEving" religious: books, authorities and imaginings) and distracts from most people working for a better world, through true empathy and self awareness. While these intellectuals have tea and talk, secular humanitarians are actually working to feed the poor, help the defenseless, fight and promote peace and search for what most comports to reality (i.e. Truth(tm)). Hopefully there are others who understand this.
Science and Christianity are irreconcilably opposed. The Big Bang was approximately 13.8 billion years ago. Life on earth began once about 4 billion years ago and through natural processes evolved into all forms that followed including humans. No Genesis, Garden of Eden, or global flood are possible. If religion accepts that and more, we're good to unify. I didn't think so.
No purpose, IT just I.S. Information System systematically in control of your Thought, your Mind. 010
So my question is did God-head push that asteroid the killed all the no avian dinosaurs 66 millions years ago into the path of Earth so that small mammals would then evolve into humans and Jesus would appear millions years after?. I'm mean God had to pick the right one, with enough material and density to kill the dinosaurs but not the mammals? Did God to that?
It is fine to emphasize the feminine aspect of God but when in order to do this, one develops a theology that contradicts the Divine Principle, that is extremely problematic and is contributing to the conflicts within the Unification movement. The movement is based on the revelations and teachings of the Messiah, Sun Myung Moon. He emphasized that his chosen texts, the "Eight Great Textbooks" are the central teachings for humanity and should not be altered in any way. The Only Begotten Daughter theology claims that Restoration history since Jesus was in order to give birth to the Only Begotten Daughter, whereas Divine Principle teaches very clearly that it was for the birth of the Lord of the Second Advent, who then chooses a bride from among the women of the world (at best it would have been the future Queen Elizabeth II). It is foolish to diverge from the original Divine Principle teaching. Yet the truth shall prevail. I look forward to the publication of Wolli Wonbon and hope that the translation is as true and honest as possible. By the way: (1) Rev. Moon certainly would have made sure that Wolli Wonbon is published if he really wanted it to be a central text. (2) If Hak Ja Han wishes to publish a new book about Divine Principle, she is free to do so, but to claim that it replaces any text that Rev. Moon selected as the central texts is wrong and will further divide the movement.
HJ International Graduate School ...good job . May HP-God bless your work .
You have your heads buried so far into the sand that you cannot even conceive of the possibility your Moon organization is corrupt and should be penalized. You are on the wrong side of history.
I’m not a member of the unification church, nor would I consider them part of orthodox Christianity, but what’s being discussed is significant. There is a global attack on Christianity taking place right now and while I may think of the Unification Church as a cult, the Japanese government considers them Christian. There is littlerally zero evidence the unification church had any involvement in Abe’s assassination. This does not mean there is no evidence of a criminal enterprise involvement in Abe’s assassination. On Dec 1, 2021 Abe made a comment at a virtual forum organized by the Institute for National Policy Research in Taiwan were Abe vowed Japans support for Taiwan if China attacks. Abe said that if China took military action against Taiwan it would lead to “economic suicide” for China. China’s Foreign Ministry spokesperson Wang Wenbin later responded to Abe’s comments. Part of his response was very alarming., and it’s been translated three different ways: "Anyone who dares to take the old path of militarism and challenge the bottom line of the Chinese people will inevitably run into bumps and bruises”. (China Daily) “Anyone who dares to repeat militarism and challenge the bottom line of the Chinese people will surely be shattered in the face." (Japan Today) Those who cross China's red lines "will have their heads broken and bloodied," (Newsweek) No matter which translation you pick, the Chinese Communist Party made make a clear threat on Abe’s life. Furthermore, the CCP has the means and capability to pull it off something of this nearly impossible magnitude. Yet no one bothers to look into Yamagami’s ties to China! Oddly I don’t see any articles speaking about how this gun was built, where the materials were acquired, and most importantly, how did he get ammunition in a country that has some of the most heavily regulated gun laws? What kind of bullets did he use? The evidence is literally being ignored! Then theres China’s response. Before Abe death was announced, they were celebrating his death in China. Rumors were being spread on Chinese social media that right wing forces were behind Abe’s assassination. A day or two following Abe’s death, China Daily published a series of political cartoons that included Abe’s head on a grenade, and other dark images. I do think there are people who quietly believe the CCP has some involvement; but if you are a public figure, do want to risk the same fate if your a lone voice? Based on everything I’ve read and watched, it appears to me that China framed this narrative, and Japan took the bait. Instead of looking into the Chinese official who threatened Abe’s life, Japans media focused on a church, not based on any evidence, but on an isolated claim by the assassin that the church made his life uncomfortable. If this is allowed to stand, your freedom of religion, even in America, is in jeopardy. Anti-Christian hate is being spread globally, sometimes disguised with words like Christian Nationalism! Communist hate religion, so why wouldn’t they make baseless claims against a church, especially if it could have a global effect!
Living in gratitude for the sake of The Other (ever present). Anyway, an intriguing discussion, roundtable. Perfect, authentic? Neither? Both?😮
Thank you Dr Ward for an excellent presentation. It seems tragic that so-called 'cult experts' had, and continue to have, such prominence in the media. Many noted theologians and academics, such as Huston Smith, have taken the time to examine the UC faith and found it to be a bona-fide faith belief. Those with their own agendas will always look for ways to besmirch those they don't like or understand. Religious freedom is sacrosanct to our civil liberties. Truth will eventually win out in the end.
These are great series, can we have on the relationship between metaphysical theology and Unification theology?
Thank you for an such insightful explanation. Therefore Jesus had to say “I am the way, the truth, and the life,” because people were going to interpret the text of the Bible according to their personalities and the culture they live in.
