"WHO" decides "WHAT?"

[Jim Spencer]

God---by His own design----created billions and billions of human beings----each one different than all others----just like snowflakes. God gave each person a very unique gift; a gift by which each being can be known. There is only 1 Jim Rigney. Have you ever seen another Jim Rigney? If you have a dog or a cat---you know your own pet. There are dogs or cats of the same breed as your pet---but they are not your pet, even though they are the same breed.

When God gave each person his own personality, his own character and nature----He did that by giving each person their own mind and heart (thinking and feeling). When a group of people go to the movies and write reviews of it----there will be some that thought it was great, some that  thought it was okay, and some that thought it was terrible. So, if God created all this diversity in his children, there must have been some good reason why. Human life is like a quilt---each person provides his or her own intellectual or emotional response to the universe. Even in a group of penguins, where everybody looks pretty much the same, there is diversity that the penguins can pick up on. That's how they choose mates and how evolution occurs.

However, in any group---there must be RULES. All living things live according to universal rules. Human society also has rules in order to facilitate peaceful living. Down through history, there have been many men that have tried to impose their own rules on the rest of society. The kings, chiefs, priests, Samurai, etc---that  have ruled down through the ages have all formed societies rules. Then, there are the poets, songwriters, authors, and prophets that have all lended their own inspirations to life on earth.

It is very clear that human society is an evolving thing, along with technology. If you wonder why God's gift of Free Will given to every personality is so important---just stop and think about the above sentences. The Free Will gift allows humanity as a whole to arrive at decisions that will propell the planet toward an age of Light and Life---The Kingdom of Heaven on Earth. It first must start in the individual human heart and progress to the society.

If you consider the message of Jesus---He said that people must follow him. He did not say that people must worship him. He said that people must worship God. He did not say that people must have faith in Him but they must have faith in God.

Jim, when you make these bold statements such as "Father has the truth that will eliminate a further doctrines", kind of like the doctrine to end all doctrines----------this clearly could not be right. I don't know what you see in these words which are supposed to change the world. What specifically is Rev. Moon telling us that we must  do? He says we must love. Okay, how do we do that? Do we do that by calling each other Satan? Are we supposed to go out and witness everyday? Will that do it? Serve the poor like Mother Teresa? Does he teach us to do that? Show me where he said that. Does he teach us to pray and meditate X amount of hours per day? Haven't seen that speech. What exactly Does Rev. Moon teach than what is different than what other religious men have taught--say Jesus?

Then, Jim---as the result of following Rev. Moon----how have you changed? How are you different?

Have you become more humble? Do you feel the power of God's love more deeply? Does your heart break for the suffering of God's children in this chaotic world? Are you consumed with the need to be out on the street ministering to the sick, the needy, and the suffering?  

If this is your heart---I have not heard you say so. Maybe I'm hearing you wrong---but---pretty much what I hear coming from you is blasting everyone with words--------as if--------those words supersceded God's Free Will Gift to each person. Did not Rev. Moon teach you to respect the individuality and personality of each of God's unique created children? How can you presume to enforce your idea of truth upon free peoples? Is it your plan to force people into the Kingdom, to guilt them, or berate them because they think differently?

Jesus came to save men----not to condemn them. Is that what you are doing too?

Jim, you need to re-think your whole outlook. You need to realize that you are a free man----made free by Almighty God. God holds your free will sacred----no matter how twisted your logic might be. We all can state our cause, but we need to respect the divine spirit in each other first.

You and I see the world differently. As long as we respect each other and respect each other's free will gift from God---we will be fine. But, when we get into accusing each other just because of intellectual disagreements----we go off track. If Rev. Moon is trying to unite the world----he should have taught you this basic truth--respect for other's viewspoints. He says he does this in his latest book but you must not have read that part yet. 

Do you buy all of the propaganda that the leaders of North Korea put out about their "great leaders?" How wonderful and holy they are? Meanwhile, the country is back in the dark ages. This is what happens when humans try to claim some sort of divinity that  sets them apart from the rest of the human race. We are all God's children----and that's finale! No one is any better than any other before God. Jesus made that clear when he was here. Of course there are people that have earned a higher position than others through their lineage and their own personal efforts. In any family, there can be achievers and slackers, brilliant ones and not so brilliant ones. But when God says we are all equal before Him-(he is no respector of persons)--it means that we all have the same chance to become eternal spiritual beings which can one day, stand before the Universal Father on Paradise. It doesn't matter whether we are smart or dumb---there is room for all of us.

Any Christlike person would never assume to place himself higher than his brother or sister. That was a problem that has caused major disruptions in human history---where some being begin to fall in love with himself and disregarded God's Plan of Creation.

JESUS WHOLE MESSAGE WAS ABOUT THE POINT THAT WE ARE ALL GOD'S CHILDREN, HE LOVES EACH ONE OF US---AND THAT MAKES US BROTHERS AND SISTERS. This is what The Fatherhood of God and the Brotherhood of Man is all about. "If anyone comes teaching another message than this one---watch out! If the message is about ME and how great I am--watch out! The message needs to be about how great YOU are and how great GOD is! This is the fundamental test to truth.
