This on the unification church:
Unification Church
Unification Church:
Christ supposedly told Moon that he would be "the completer of man's salvation by being the Second Coming of Christ" (Sun Myung Moon and The Unification Church, James Bjornstad, p. 9). After World War II, Moon returned to Pyongyang, the capital of communist North Korea, where he set up his first church (1945).
Woody: This is not what Jesus told us in the bible. Jesus told us that Moon is a false prophet just by the nature of Moon's claim, so who's lieing Jesus or Moon?
Jesus: Then if any man shall say unto you, Lo, here is Christ, or there; believe it not. For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect.
Woody: Moon fits the description of "any man" does he not?
Unification Church: There, according to reports,
Moon involved his congregation in an unusual ritual known as "blood separation," during which female members of the church were required to have sex with him to cleanse themselves of Satan's influence. In 1948,
North Korean authorities arrested and jailed Moon (he spent two years in a labor camp), accusing him of bigotry and adultery. Moon was finally liberated by United Nations' troops during the Korean War (1950). (Still today, Moon's sermons focus on sex and the idea of female submissiveness. In 1995, on "True Parents Day," he observed, "Woman was born to connect in love with man's sexual organ. Man and woman's sexual organs are the place of the true love palace.") After the Korean War, Moon fled to South Korea and established the Unification Church, which now claims three million members in more than 120 countries (about 40-45 thousand U.S.), but both these figures are believed by many to be grossly exaggerated.
Woody: So you see that perversion comes with every antichrist.
Unfication Church: This "church" has been the subject of much negative U.S. publicity, primarily due to alleged unethical recruitment and fund-raising tactics and Moon's authoritative leadership style. In 1982,
Moon was convicted of federal income tax fraud, for which he served 11 months (of an 18-month sentence) in federal prison (beginning in the summer of 1984).
Woody: I guess 20 something rolls royces and a mansion weren't enough for this so called "God."
Unification Church: Moon has also launched numerous business ventures, and with the free labor of his followers, has built a multi-million dollar empire that includes pharmaceutical companies, manufacturing, banking, publishing, and other industries. (The Unification News is a monthly newspaper owned by the Church. They also publish a monthly magazine called Insight. While not an official publication of the Unification Church, the Church does own and operate the Washington Times, located in Washington, D.C. Today's World is a monthly magazine.) Moon is a permanent resident of the U.S. (since 1973), and believes that the U.S. will be the future base of operations for the
"Lord of the Second Advent" (a title to which Moon himself has laid claim!).
Bible: For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows.
Woody: The false christs live lavish lifestyles. Here is Moon with a financial empire. He sleeps on a soft pillow, but his day of judgement is coming.
Jesus: And Jesus saith unto him, The foxes have holes, and the birds of the air have nests; but the Son of man hath not where to lay his head.
Jesus is the real thing. Do you see him riding a gold chariot, starting Christ Corporation, living a sumptuous life of ease? No he died a cruel death on a cross.
It isn't hard for a christian to tell the real thing from the fakes. But the whole world has fallen for the lie.
Unification church: 1.
Source of Authority. The Moonies teach that the Bible is "not the truth itself, but a textbook teaching the truth." Moon's 536-page spiritual manifesto, Divine Principle (1957), is considered to be their scriptures (supposedly revealed directly to Moon by Jesus Christ), along with the Bible. (
Divine Principle is considered to be the "third testament" of the Bible, and superior to the Bible.)
They also believe in continuing revelation. (Moon claims to have received new revelations from God; i.e., "I spoke with Jesus Christ in the spirit world. And I also spoke with John the Baptist. This is my authority.") [HJB] Even Divine Principle is not the complete truth. "The Divine Principle revealed in this book is only part of the new truth. ... as time goes on, deeper parts of the truth will be continually revealed" (Unification Theology, p. 16).
Woody: Yep, the same old lie told by every false prophet -- his "revelation" is better than the bible. Satan, can't you get a little more creative, I mean this is really getting old? But I see it still works because you have Preacher and Skinwalker hooked on your lie about christians. Yep, man never seems to learn. Man fell for your lie at the Garden of Eden, and look how "wise" he is now!
