Title: TRUE FAMILY VALUES
1TRUE FAMILY VALUES
2Engrafting into the Love, the Life and the
Lineage of Jesus and the Holy Spirit
31 Peter 15We are "guarded through faith for a
salvation ready to be revealed in the last time."
4The classic question of religion what went wrong
and how to solve it.
5Thus far we have addressed the problem of the
individual in front of God. The paradigm has
been the individual.
6Today we will address the problem of the family
in front of God. The paradigm will be the
family.
7The paradigm of the individual and of the family
harmonize with and complement each other.
8Lets look at Gods Ideal of Creation viewed from
the perspective of the family.
9The Creator of the universe is our Father. The
rock who begat you.Jesus called God his Father.
10God feels what a father feels He loves as a true
father loves. The paradigm of the family is
also a paradigm of love.
11Creation began from a seed within the Father, the
Word of God. John 11-3
12There is a resemblance between the Father and His
children. Genesis 127You see me, you see the
Father. John 15
13God feels joy to see His children follow His
commandments. Proverbs 2324 The father of a
righteous man has great joy he who has a wise
son delights in him.
14But Gods ultimate joy, as our Father, is when we
love each other in Him.
151 John 25 But if anyone obeys his word, Gods
love is truly made complete in him. John
1511 Remain in my love, so that my joy may be
in you and your joy may be complete.
16From the family perspective, to reach this stage
of life, children pass through a period of
growth, from immaturity to maturity.
17While immature, they are ruled by words,
commandments and laws. When mature, they are
ruled by heart (love).
18The only thing that counts is faith expressing
itself through love. Gal 56
19Gods first blessing to Adam and Eve when they
were brother and sister was to be fruitful,
then He gave the Commandment.
20What did David mean by he is like a tree which
yields its fruit in season? (Ps 13)
21A. No evil advice. B. No evil association.C.
Delights in truth. D. Thinks deeply on Law.
22To be fruitful means to inherit from the root of
Jesus, the true vine.John 155 Apart from me,
you can bear no fruit.
23It means to be in Jesus lineage, to be Jesus
child. He has his fathers eyes.
24You are capable of relating to all people. Mt
546
25You are capable of sacrifice for the sake of
others. Mt 540-42
26You have your mind in command of your body. Mt
528-30
27It means you are perfect as your Heavenly Father
is perfect. Mt 548
28Being fruitful is not the final goal. It is Gods
preparation for us to marry and to create
children.
29When it is mature, you call the tree fruitful.
Psalms 1, Jer 17, John 15. A fruitful tree can
multiply the seed.
30God told Adam and Eve to be fruitful and then
multiply.Gen 128
31This is why God decreedthe two shall become
one flesh. Gen 224
32Jesus repeated this in Matthew 195-6. Paul
repeated it in Ephesians 531.
33Has not the Lord made them one? In flesh and
spirit they are his. And why one? Because he was
seeking godly offspring. Malachi 215
34 he was seeking godly offspring tells us that
lineage is important to God.
35The promises were spoken to Abraham and to his
seed. Gal 316Through Abraham, God created
lineage.
36John the Baptist leapt in the womb when Mary
arrived. God works with the seed in the loins and
fetus in the womb.
37Before I formed you in the womb I knew you,
before you were born I set you apart I appointed
you as a prophet to the nations. Jer 15
38The second major topic exposed by the family
paradigm is the husband and wife relationship.
39For your Maker is your husband the Lord will
call you back as if you were a wife deserted.
Isaiah 545-6
40The pair systemGenesis 1 heavens and earth.
41The pair systemGenesis 1 light and darkness.
42The pair systemGenesis 1 evening and morning.
43The pair systemGenesis 1 water under and water
above.
44The pair systemGenesis 1 land and seas.
45The pair systemGenesis 1 greater light and
lesser light.
46The pair systemGenesis 1 male and female.
47The pair systemGenesis 619 You are to bring
into the ark two of all living creatures, male
and female, to keep them alive with you.
48God manifests His image as male and female with
the goal of their reuniting in love, as one
flesh.
49Man is created for woman and woman for
man.Between man and woman is love, for God is
love.

51God created Adam and Eve naked and not ashamed.
52God wanted them to follow His words, like any
father, because He wanted to bless them.
53If you obey my commandments, the fruit of your
womb will be blessed. Deut 713, 281, 4
54Where does the fruit of the womb come from?
55The sexual organs, whose mysterious function is
the source of new life.
56This is where the husbands and wifes blood
mingles.
57This is the origin of lineage. Therefore, love
creates life and lineage.
58From that point, husband and wife become parents.
At the same time, God participates as the
Heavenly Father.
59What is the symbol of love of man and woman?
Where is the last terminal of love? The sexual
organs, for they enable a husband's and wife's
bodies to unite.
60They provide a path through which mind and body
can unite completely centering on love. Father
Moon, In Search of the Origin of the Universe
61This substantiation of creative, passionate,
eternal, joyful, free and responsible love is the
fulfillment of the purpose of creation.

that of lineage.

69In the love of a true husband and wife, Gods
love merges with the couples love and Gods
lineage comes forth.
70Gods seed (1 John 319) expands infinitely.
71Gods love multiplies from the scope of the
individual to the family, society, nation, world
and cosmos.

87How could God allow such a breakdown? The family
paradigm is also one of freedom and
responsibility.
88To maintain their freedom and responsibility, and
the dignity, dominion and authority as
co-creators with God, God would not intervene in
the fall.
89 If God had intervened, it would have invalidated
His word because He would have been relating by
heart to His children who were still immature in
heart.
90In the family paradigm, the fall is the fall of
the family.
91Adam and Eve were betrothed--a biblical use of
husband and wife (Mt 119, 24, Deut 2224).
92God blessed Adam and Eve to be fruitful Were
they? No.
93Adam and Eves conjugal love should have been
blessed.
94Their children should have been the true children
of God.
95Their lineage should have been the lineage of
God.
96But Adam and Eve ate the fruit and were cast out
of the Garden, under the curse.
97Was it a literal fruit?
98Literal fruit does not affect blood lineage.
99No one would eat a literal fruit if they knew or
even suspected it would cause death.
100They werent starving there was plenty of fruit
on other trees.
101No parent would place a poisonous fruit within
reach of children.
102Jesus said that no one is defiled by something
that goes into the mouth. (Mt 1511)
103The fruit was not a test--no parent would punish
failure in a test with death.
104No parent gives a meaningless rule just to see if
the child will obey. This is authoritarianism of
the worst kind.
105What was the fruit?
106Its allure was so powerful that it overcame the
fear of death.
107Only love is powerful enough to overcome the fear
of death.Love is as strong as death. Song of
Songs 86
108The fruit that destroyed Gods children must have
had something to do with love.
109Jesus spoke many things in parables and symbols.
(Mt. 1334)The rock, the stone, the lamb, the
dove, the doe, fishermen of men, sheep and goats
110Solomon compares eating fruit to sexual
intercourse.(Song of Songs 12, 23-4, 45, 416)
111Lets unwrap the symbols from this perspective.
112The Tree of Life symbolizes Adam in
perfection.Proverbs 1312 Rev. 2214
113Standing next to the Tree of Life in the center
of the Garden was the Tree of the Knowledge of
Good and Evil.
114Standing next to Adam was Eve.Proverbs 4 The
true wife and mother are Wisdom.
115The fruit of a tree is that by which it
multiplies. The fruit of the Tree of the
Knowledge of Good and Evil symbolizes Eves love.
116The knowledge of love begins with Eve. Adam goes
to Eve to find it.Genesis 224
117 Eves Love
Satans Word
Gods Word
Evil fruit Fallen children Satans lineage
Good fruit Good children Gods lineage
118God said that the day they ate the fruit, they
would die
119Was the commandment eternal?
120No. It was a fathers word to His children while
they were growing up.
121As He promised in Genesis 224, upon perfection,
they were to be blessed in marriage, and
122Eat lots of fruit. Lots.
123On the other hand, the serpent said they would
not die.
124Just to be clear, this serpent was not an animal
125Animals dont talk. Animals dont know Gods
Commandment. Animals cannot seduce people.
126Eve was dealing with a very intelligent being.
An angel.
127The ancient serpent was the devil, called Satan
(Rev. 129).
128The serpent was an angel named Lucifer. Is.
1412
129Now, back to the tale who was telling the truth?
God, not Satan.
130John 844there is no truth in him. When he
lies, he speaks his native language, for he is a
liar and the father of lies.
131So the day they ate, they died, because God said
they did.
132Adam and Eve died spiritually, not physically.
133Spiritual death Dwelling outside the love of
God in Christ. 1 John 314Leave the dead to
bury their own dead.
134Adam died. He had the name of being alive, but he
was dead.1 Cor 1522, Rom 512
135John 1334 "A new command I give you Love one
another. As I have loved you, so you must love
one another."
136John 1512 "My command is this Love each other
as I have loved you."
137Therefore, spiritual death results from false,
selfish love.
- Illicit love brings death.
- (Prov 721-23, 27)
138False love means that they ate the fruit of
sexual love prematurely, in violation of Gods
commandment, following Satans words.
139True love means purity until God blessed them in
marriage.
140As do all parents, God told His children not to
have sex before marriage.
141The root problem Adam and Eve had premature sex,
in violation of Gods Word.
142At the fall, were Adam and Eve mature or
immature?The answer is revealed by the shame
and blame.
143Adam and Eve married outside the Garden, under a
curse, not blessing.
144Because Adam and Eve fell, God could not
participate in their conjugal life.
145Their children were not true children of God, and
their lineage was not Gods lineage.
146Gen 66 God was sorry He made man on the earth
it grieved Him to His heart.
147Deuteronomy 2815-18 If we disobey Gods word,
the fruit of your womb will be cursed. Psalm
515John 844
148If the fall left man in Satans lineage, then
salvation is to return to Gods lineage.
149I tell you the truth, no one can see the kingdom
of God unless he is born again. John 33
150Unless I wash you, you have no part with me.
John 138
151This is the real meaning of rebirth. How does it
happen?
152BIG point Rebirth requires
new parents.
153Jesus and the Holy Spirit are the new parents and
True Parents.
154If anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation.
(2 Cor 517)
155For you have been born again, not of perishable
seed, but of imperishable, through the living and
enduring word of God. 1 Peter 123
156We are saved by the blood of Jesus, not by the
blood of the thieves.
157What is the difference between Jesus blood and
the thieves blood?
158Jesus blood is Gods blood. In Jesus blood is
the Fathers seed. 1 John 39
159Then whose seed is in the thieves blood? John
844--Satans seed.Which blood do we have?
160We are born in sin. Even if our parents were
saved as individuals, they passed Satans blood
to us.
161Heres a tough one the act of procreation, the
act of love, is not saved.
162Parents give us flesh and blood. Jesus came to
give us his fleshthe bread of lifeand his
blood--the water of life.
163For the bread of life is he who comes down from
heaven and gives life to the world. John 633
164Did we receive it? No his blood never created a
physical lineage.
165He was a bridegroom with no bride a father with
no children. He longed to gather together
Jerusalem, but they would not. Mt 2337
166This is what Satan destroyed when he entered
Judas Iscariot.
167He could not destroy Jesus love, but he could
destroy his physical lineage.
168From this family paradigm, let us view the work
of Father and Mother Moon.
169The returning Messiah, who comes as True
Parents, should give rebirth through true love to
humankind, whose blood lineage was defiled by the
original sin.
170When viewed from this perspective, the
International Blessing Ceremonies are not
conducted simply to bring young men and women
together as husbands and wives.
171In fact, they are holy ceremonies in which
people are reborn as Gods true children through
the original seed of life from God. Father
Moon, The Cosmos is My Hometown and Fatherland, a
speech given in the United States Capitol
building, February 2, 2000
172Rebirth--engrafting-- comes through marriage.
This is the significance of the Marriage Supper
of the Lamb.
173This comes only through the grace of God, not by
human works.
174Our goal today is to get marriage back inside the
Garden.
175Biblical Models of OnenessChrist / Church
Mind / Body Husband / Wife
176By engrafting we will become with
Christ.
one lineage
1771 Cor 1213 Eph 523, 28-32We become one with
Jesus by receiving his flesh and blood.
178John 648-51 I am the bread of life. This
bread is my flesh, which I will give for the life
of the world. For my flesh is real food and my
blood is real drink. Whoever eats my flesh and
drinks my blood remains in me, and I in him.
179How? By engrafting--becoming one flesh--which
takes place biblically in one way only--by
marriage.
180In marriage, the two become one flesh. We can be
physically engrafted by standing in a bride's
position to Jesus.
1812 Cor 112--I promised you to one husband, to
Christ, so that I might present you as a pure
virgin to him.
182One lineage is established in marriage.
183The Bride joins the lineage of the Bridegroom.
184Through the blessing of marriage, the curse is
lifted. We can join Gods lineage. We can be
physically reborn.
185To carry this out, Christ must return to us
physically, not just spiritually, in a marriage
event represented in Revelation by the Marriage
of the Lamb.
186Sin began with a couple on earth. A couple on
earth must restore it, and open the gates for all
couples to engraft.
187Jesus said, all who overcome become pillars in
the temple of God, with "the name of my God, and
the name of the city of my God and my own new
name" written on them. (Rev. 312)
188Rev. 1911-16 " the name by which he is called
is The Word of God. From his mouth issues a
sharp sword with which to smite the nations, and
he will rule them with a rod of iron his name
inscribed, King of kings and Lord of lords."
189As Jesus foretold in the marriage parables, he
will restore marriage on Earth as it is in
Heaven.
190Heb 928 "Christ, having been offered once to
bear the sins of many, will appear a second time,
not to deal with sin but to save those who are
eagerly waiting for him.
191With his bride, he will Bless the marriages of
those waiting for him.
192Rev 27 Jesus says to him who overcomes I will
grant him the right to eat from the Tree of Life,
which is in the paradise of God.
193Rev 217 I will also give him a white stone with
a new name known only to him who receives it.
Stone is a symbol for Christ, the living
stone, and 1 Peter 24 ways we all are to be
living stones.
1941 John 31 How great is the love the Father has
lavished on us, that we should be called children
of God! And that is what we are! we know that
when he appears, we shall be like him, for we
shall see him as he is.
195All who overcome and wash their robes will have
the right to the Tree of Life, drinking the water
of life. Rev. 22
196We all can and should become true parents, small
messiahs, for our family, church and nation.
197I tell you the truth, anyone who has faith in me
will do what I have been doing. He will do even
greater things than these Jn 1412
198Set your mind on things above, not earthly
things. For you died, and your life is now hidden
with Christ in God.
199When Christ, who is your life, appears, then you
also will appear with him in glory. Col
32-4Amen.
