Guess what Jim---only God can provide the spark of life----that's why God is called THE CREATOR. So, if God is the Creator of life----including humans------he is our Father. Do you think that the Creator of the Universe would allow a created being to take over his job? There goes that little argument about lineage and original sin. Other beings can interfere with the life…

This is an excerpt from "The Tao of Foregiveness"

"Rules, whether they are internal or external, are dangerous tools. On the one hand, they provide a certain stability for our societies and for our personal experience. On the other hand, they easily become ends in themselves---slave masters whose purpose is to keep us in bondage rather than lead us to freedom. They become devices for punishment, supplying the ammunition used by parts of our conditioned mind (critical) to keep…

Okay Jim,

You talk about the formula of separation from Satan by gaining X amount of spiritual children each year.

So, tell me Jim----how many spiritual children do you have? How many members have you gained? How many people have you brought over to the Divine Principle? Did you fulfill your 5% responsibility? Did you get the required number of members? You never answered that question last time and I don't think that you will answer it this time either. Why? Because you…

Jim,

You love to bandy the words--satan and evil----about----quite a bit. Whenever you say such words---you are speaking from a dark place in your own soul. God is a God of Love----a God of Truth, Beauty, and Goodness. God is light and joy, and happiness. God is purity of heart---of unconditional love, and unconditional forgiveness. When a person is fixated upon the evil in the world---it comes from a place of FEAR of the dark, the unknown, and the bogeyman. There is evil on this…

Jim,

All these costumes and crowns are all about SELF-GLORIFICATION. Don't you realize that it was because of PRIDE OF SELF that a very highly created angelic being---Lucifer----fell in love with himself and was lost? Don't you get it yet? God silently pours out his love---never saying anything. The Holy Spirit never speaks of herself---She just keeps pouring out motherly love and nuturing Her children.

Don't you see the difference between God's nature of absolute investing of…

It didn't start with the pharisees or other "divine" monarchies---it has gone on since time immemorial. The pharoahs, the Japanese Emprorer, the French Monarchy, and many Kings have all claimed "Divine Right" over the ages.

People are afraid because they are taken advantage of.  There was the Jim Jones movement, where members drank the poison kool-aid and 900 died. Then, there was the Charles Manson incident; and the Japanese subway bomber incident---more died. Then, there was the…

There is a difference between self-discipline and self-punishment. In the Tao philosophy--self-discipline means the freedom to----a joyful pursuit of a natural path. Within our "punishment-conditioned" mind--our self falls back to the narrow pursuit of an unatainable "should do" or "should be". That we so often turn back to our burden is a mental habit that we cannot lay down----cannot give up.

When Jesus talked about the fact that man must be born again----He was referring to the…

Jim---have you ever learned to forgive yourself so that you can accept that God takes responsibility for your creation? What is your own position in this universe? Are you really the great seer that you think you are? Are you really the loyal carrier of the Truth---one who guards Rev. Moon's dignity against all onslaughts from the unfaithful? Deep down inside, do you really feel qualified to be a direct disiciple?

Do you think that somehow, you have---or will achieve some sort of…

What Father says might be true. However, He didn't say what you are saying. There is a "Plan of Creation", which is universe wide. This does not mean that it is limited to our little earth. As Father pointed out in his speech, "Evolution is one little point in a very complex universe". We have not disagreement that Evolution has to have cosmic intelligence behind it in order for it to progress. What you are trying to infer, is that because Father said something that may be true---He is the…

Jim,

I think you are well on your way to earn the merit badge for TENACITY. That's good----you have your principles and you stick with them. Now, if you could just broaden out your view to include the universe beyond this little earth----and remember that there are millions of inhabited planets. Not every planet was caught up in the Lucifer Rebellion and the Default of Adam and Eve----much later on.

"An instrument as delicate as the human heart brings the requirement for careful consideration, and much thoughtfulness towards self and others.

Harsh words, demeaning words, negative thoughts, thoughtless actions and stubbornness towards self and others, break down the strongest defences---

and also weaken the physical heart.

The inner chamber needs to be sanctified at all cost, as this is the place where you return, to be with Me in the Stillness.

I…

Can you imagine what life was like, 2000 years ago in Palestine? I spent 7 years in Saudi Arabia and Iran---strict Muslim countries. The penalty is death for a Muslim to convert to Christianity---even today.

In Jesus time, the Jewish peoples followed the Torah, from which the Old Testament came from. When Jesus came teaching them a deeper understanding of God's nature--the Fatherhood of God and the Brotherhood of Man----the Jewish religious leaders were outraged. How dare this man…

God is willing not that any should perish. So let us remember, The Importance of Prayer and prove to our Heavenly Father that no matter how difficult our individual missions become we are determined to Establish The Cheon Il Guk as soon as possible...  Timothy Lee

Houston was the name of a laege city on Earth.

You say, we all got to pay for the dispensation. What a heartless God you have envisioned. To think that an innocent baby is born into the world carrying the sin that goes all the way back to Adam and Eve. We are already born with 2 strikes against us. And then, along comes a sinless man, who creates a sinless family---and some of those family members sin.  My goodness; what is God going to do with us? It seems that there is no hope at all.  Fortunately Jim---you are dead wrong. God is our…

This evening, I went to bed relatively late after attending a birthday party for a man that was turning 65.

I thought, "gosh, I'll be at that age 2 1/2 years from now". I went home and went to bed, foregoing my usual sleeping aid. I felt that I was pretty tired, and, it had been a long day of accomplishment on earth.

As some of you know, I have been a Urantia…

Jim,

This is a nice-sounding theory---but it is complete hogwash!. Anybody can talk about the "ideal"---but---it is the actual way that people LIVE that is important. There is absolutely NO disagreement about the way Jesus lived with the things he said. The people that opposed Jesus in his day---were prisoners to the Old Testament--The Jewish Law. Jesus so offended them because he brought forth a new, and deeper understanding of the nature of God's heart. Jesus supersceded the laws of…

Jesus healed the sick and brought a dead man back to life. He washed the feet of his disciples. Jesus was showing us the heart of God---the heart of a Father for his children. Have you ever witnessed such healings, dead being raised, and feet being washed in our church by our highest leaders?
