True Parents pass judgment based on the governing law of love

What in the world is the savior? What is the purpose of his coming? He is not coming to be a political leader. Why would a savior come? Christians today say that when the Lord comes they will all rise up and be lifted into the sky, and those left on earth will be judged. That will not happen. That is not the reality. They say he brings judgment, but the savior does not come to pass judgment. He comes as God’s Son and also as the Parent of humankind.

Would the person who comes as the Parent of humankind, and with a paren­tal heart, remove his sons and daughters who are groaning in illness and on the verge of death saying, “Hey you, go to hell!”? Even parents in the fallen world would choke with grief and sorrow to see their children dying in such a miserable state. Their heart would compel them to do anything to save their children, even if they lose their own life. If that is how the parents in the fallen world are, how much more so would it be for the Savior who comes with the heart of the original Parent? Judgment would be unthink­able. Isn’t that so? (222-150, 1991.11.3)

People recite the Bible saying, “For God so loved the world that He gave His only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life.” It says that God so loved the world. Jesus came to save the whole world, not just for the salvation of Christians. Is he going to bring judgment in the Last Days? Then the statement that “God so loved the world” would be wrong. Does He only love the Christians? They do not know that God always has love. We have to teach this to them to make them repent and change their minds. Away with denominationalists! (210-110, 1990.12.1)

Christian churches today say that God passes judgment and does other things. Yet, if God were free to do as He wants, there would be no need to with­hold judgment in this way until now. He would have executed judgment immedi­ately after the Fall. There is no principle that allows God to establish His ideal of love on the foundation of victory gained through rendering judgment. (210-61, 1990.12.1)

What is the error in the philoso­phy of Christian churches today? It is in calling God the Judge of righteous­ness. If you take on the role of a judge for five years, you will start to become bent over. Why? Because you cannot stand upright. Christians did not know this. They have just revered God as the God of might and the omnipotent God. They believed they could do anything if they became one with Him. This is where they got the theory that justifies the killing of people. Since western cul­ture today is based on Christianity, it has cultivated the philosophy of force, so Western Civilization is connected to bloody conflicts. (208-248, 1990.11.20)

God does not judge people direct­ly. In passing judgment and disposing of the evil people on earth, God does not want to do that Himself. He allows Satan to do that. (204-60, 1990.7.1)

When God is about to pass judg­ment on this world and someone says, “Please wait a moment. God, take a look at this. It is something very interesting,” and God answers, “What is it?” and the person then says, “It is the palm of my hand. Look how nice the lines of my palm are. I do what I do because my lines are much prettier than Yours,” what would God do? Wouldn’t His anger dissipate as He compares the lines of His palm with that person?

If that person says, “God, are you going to cut off my hand? Are you going to judge me?” God would answer, laughing, “Hee, hee, you scoundrel, you scoundrel!” Even though that person may be ugly, God feels entertained. Do you understand what I am saying? There should be both the positive aspect and the negative aspect. To become a mas­terpiece your character must develop a multi-dimensional structure. Every­thing must do so. Only when someone brings these plus and minus aspects together can he become someone of rounded character.

No matter how angry God may be, rather than saying, “God don’t do this” to Him, it’s better to say, “God, take a look at that, over there.” Then God would say, “Why?” Then you would say, “That eagle is preying on that chicken.” God would probably say, “Let the chicken be caught.” Then you should say, “You’re just like that eagle!” Then God would be stuck. “Hey, you scoundrel, what did you say? I…” Then God would not be able to say anything anymore except, “Ahem…” (202-219, 1990.5.24)

If you ask God, He would not say that He wants to become the righteous Lord of Judgment. God does not pass judgment. Such words are for those who do not know the spirit world. When you read Christian sermons they seem so illogical. They really don’t know the spirit world.

Will they go to heaven thinking like that? Go and see for yourself what hap­pens. They will all be eaten up. They are worse than worldly people. I don’t relate to such people. If a dog barks and you bark with it, that makes you one too. Then what? I don’t relate with them. Yet I feel sorry for them, so later on if they were starving, I would think to bring them something to eat. (201-286, 1990.4.29)

Humankind as a whole must wake up. The teaching of the founder of the Unification Church is the truth that will save the world. It is the word of true love and life that the whole of humanity needs for eternity. When the returning Lord comes to save the world, he should not judge humankind with his rod of iron. By hitting people, he would not be able to bring even one person to com­plete submission.

The mother’s hand is gnarled and bent like the back of a toad because of the labor she went through for her child. The mother’s sacrificial love has the power to turn around her disobedi­ent child and make him repent. This is not possible using a stick. Without true love, the unification of heaven and earth would be impossible even for God who is the great king of judgment, and who can freely lead heaven and earth as He pleases. Difficulties are not a problem for true love. True love has the strength to go on even while you cast away your life. (201-139, 1990.4.30)

Love can melt the enemy. Love has the power to make even the most dis­obedient child become a filial son or daughter. Only love has the power to make those who were called trai­tor surrender and become a loyal ser­vant. This is possible. Therefore, from time, immemorial people have longed to live bonded by love, regardless of a person’s appearance. Who told you to say “Amen”? Amen is my patent. (195-70, 1989.11.5)

Presbyterianism teaches that God became the judge of righteousness, pre­destines people’s fate, and then saves them. Does that make any sense at all? It is utterly misleading. I have found that God is not like that. If God had predestined people to go to heaven and hell from their birth, what kind of God of goodness is that? It would not make sense logically. It has to fit logic to become common sense. There is no truth that goes against common sense.

See what happens to a chief justice who passes the death sentence and puts five murderers to death. He would have to get a medical checkup each time. The laws in the Republic of Korea are differ­ent from the laws in North Korea. Those who are sentenced to death here can become a patriot in the north. When you think about the principles of heaven and earth and the law of righteousness, do you think a judge would feel com­fortable? (200-192, 1990.2.25)

By the use of power alone, the uni­fication of heaven and earth would be impossible, even for God who is the great king of judgment, and who can freely lead heaven and earth as He pleas­es. It would not be possible with money, knowledge or authority. Love is the only thing that can make this possible. (200-173, 1990.2.25)

God cannot pass judgment on the devil. In the book of Job, why did God deal with Satan despite the fact that Satan had followed God around and tried to take control? God was com­pelled to deal with him. Satan would say, “Unless You digest me in Your love, unless you set the original standard after digesting me in love, you cannot control me. Isn’t this Your Way? You are sup­posed to dominate me after overcom­ing the way of absolute love, beyond all the complete ways of the principled love. Since You haven’t reached that point, You cannot dominate me. If You want to dominate me, if You want to bring me into submission, You have to do so based on the standard that conforms to the Way. I would submit to the individual on the individual level, to the family on the family level, to the tribe on the tribal level, and to the people on the national level. But this won’t happen unless You set the standard, will it?” God could not make a move and would be stuck. You should know this. (188-228, 1989.2.26)

In this world, if you are asked, “What do you want to do?” you would answer, “I want to become a judge for the Supreme Court.” Isn’t that the case for you? Everyone likes a judge, don’t they? Christians today say, “God is the great Master of heaven and earth. He is also the Judge who discriminates good from evil, sends good people to heaven, evil people to hell, and rules heaven and earth based on the law of righteousness.” Would you like such a judge? If He had sent billions of people to hell throughout history until now, would God’s mind be at ease? That could never happen.

In this way, it is not God’s ambition to sit on His throne and exercise His authority as the judge of righteousness. God hates those things. (201-21, 1990.2.28)

You know yourself more than God knows you. Therefore, we do not need the Lord of judgment. Actually, we do not need a God of judgment. Your con­science knows best. In the light of this fundamental rule, how much you have contributed with the purpose of bring­ing liberation based on the liberated standard will be measured according­ly. You would know if you are authen­tic or fake. Would you know or not? If you don’t, there is no hope. If you don’t, you have to go to the public cemetery, you would have to go into the waste bin, or be driven into the Pacific Ocean on a raft. That’s something hard to handle.

You know what is good and evil. Even by saying one word, you would know what is wrong. Your gaze would know what is wrong, the sound you hear, your sense of touch would all know.

When you go to the spirit world all this will be revealed. If you raise your head, everything about you appears. The mirror of your mind, the light of your mind would instantly appear. There would be no need to explain. It is like this because you do not know the spir­it world. Since I know about this, I am calm even when the people of this world curse me. I have continued right until now doing things that people regard as foolish. (201-270, 1990.4.29)

In this world there are servants of servants, servants, adopted children and children by concubines. The world is muddied. Order must be made. With what will we find order? It is possible only through love. Religions that inher­ited and carried on the traditional way of love should have become global reli­gions. Religions that go against the way of love and those who do not follow this love will be judged as the representatives who take responsibility for their age in history.

What will pass judgment on the world? It will be the tradition of love, the tradition of loving heaven and earth, the tradition of loving the world, the tradi­tion of loving the nation, the tradition of loving the people, the tradition of lov­ing one’s family, the tradition of loving one’s parents and one’s wife and broth­ers, and the tradition of loving oneself. (192-75, 1989.7.2)

God is the Judge and Jesus is like an attorney. Yet there has never been a pub­lic prosecutor on the side of heaven. So far, the devil has been the prosecutor. A prosecutor, a judge, and an attorney on the heavenly side should appear. In the light of this, since the Unification Church is equipped with everything, it should do away with Satan, humanism, obscenity, and “destruction-ism” from this earth forever. This is the belief system of the Unification Church. (192-49, 1989.7.2)

There is nothing else God desires more than love. Who would be His greatest enemy in the Last Days? What is the number one premise for judg­ment? In the Last Days, individualistic self-love becomes the number one prem­ise for judgment. For scholars, the schol­arly awareness and their desire to study will become the basis for judgment. The things you like most will become the basis for your judgment. For the per­son who likes money the most – a per­son who sacrifices everything to gather money – that will become the condition for his judgment. For those who like honor and for those who like authority, those things will be the condition for their judgment. For a woman there will be something that she likes according to all her attributes and specific nature. That will be the condition for her judg­ment. (170-92, 1987.11.8)

Even though I have been criticized, I do not think about it. Even though I have been whipped, it is no longer in my memory. Many circumstances I experi­enced from such a history, but I do not seek to pass judgment based on those things. I am going along that path with love in order to digest something even greater. Therefore, I think God likes me. I would also yearn for such a person. I do not like the people who do something and then seek compensation. Is there anyone who would ask for compensa­tion from me? Show your face and talk to me. (148-56, 1986.10.4)

Unless you repent, you will have to receive the judgment of righteousness. There is no one who can stand before the governing law of love. At that time I will become your attorney, my family and tribe will become your attorney, all those leaders in the Unification Church will become your attorney – even God would be your attorney. Only when the scope of attorneys exceeds that of the realm of accusation, can you be regis­tered as the people of the heavenly king­dom of goodness. Anything less and you will not be able to register. (147-331, 1986.10.1)

I, also, follow the way of the heavenly law. Therefore, you must follow this path without a word. The day you follow this path without a word, you will be given the benefit of joining me on that path. However, if you build your own house and create your own territory on that path, in a self-centered way, you will be accused and judged; just like those in prison who were sent there because they broke a certain provision of the law. They did not break all the laws of the nation. They only broke a certain num­ber of provisions of the law. In the same way, if you also break certain laws, you will not be free to follow that path. (147-317, 1986.10.1)

Even if we face ruin together, do not go the way of a betrayer. Even if that befalls us, we will stand in a good posi­tion in the spirit world. If you have not been a traitor, you can always prosper within the group of people that have not been traitors. On the other hand, trai­tors cannot prosper. There would always be something blocking you. You would not have the strength to digest it and go further. Such is the way for traitors to the nation. If you betray your nation despite having made a determination to follow the way for the greater good, you will always be judged and pushed by your responsibility for that greater good. There would be no way to avoid it. (144-254, 1986.4.25)

As the world moves towards estab­lishing one nation, you will have to write in detail the past course of your life, and pass through the courts of judgment. Without going through a re-examina­tion, you cannot advance to the posi­tion of national-level Blessings. The path towards world-level Blessings still remains. The Blessing given in the Uni­fication Church is a church Blessing. Judgment comes from the Unification family, from blessed children, and from blessed parents. I am thinking that it will progress towards world-level judg­ment in line with a special dispensation. You should know this clearly.

You good-for-nothings here, who received the Blessing, should really straighten up your acts. If you set aside the Principle and live your own way, do you think that the principled world, the world of God’s will would establish rela­tions with you? No way. If that were pos­sible, I would not be going through such hardships. (137-259, 1986.1.3)

You will be judged by an iron mace through God’s love, God’s life, and God’s lineage. Such a time will come. The Messiah comes at that time. Do you know what kind of person the Messiah and Savior is? He comes to search for the order of original love and the palace of eternal life, love, and lineage of the orig­inal God. You should know that he is the one who comes to establish the base of happiness and gain supremacy through true love in the family and the tribe con­nected to him, and in the nation and world beyond. (209-40, 1990.11.25)

What is God’s family? True love, which is in God’s position, will fit in the family when it is taken to the bottom, and would fit anywhere even if it is removed and placed somewhere else. Even if a grandchild climbs on the shoulder of his grandfather, he will not be judged by the family law. Even if the grandson takes away the grandfather’s blankets, leav­ing the grandfather to sleep curled up in the corner, he will not be judged as an unfilial son. Everything would be okay in true love. (209-102, 1990.11.27)

You may call upon the name of True Parents, but have you ever attended True Parents? You can stand in a posi­tion of attendance only if you can stay up at night later than me. You can stand in that position only if you suffer more than me. Following me, you all became like parasites. The word parasite fits you well. You imposters! There are many like you in the Unification Church. Now this situation needs to be cleaned up.

Feeling bitterness about the secular world as I do, I am thinking to purge away those in the Unification Church who just play around and live comfort­ably. As I must judge the world, I will begin by judging these people. If they do not conform to the way of my teach­ings, they must be cleared away. (260-80, 1994.4.11)

There is nothing this satanic world can offer in building the heavenly king­dom. This must all be burnt away. That is why I made holy salt to sanctify these things so that they can be used again. The fallen world must also be burnt away. It must be judged by fire. People must be recreated by my hand. I will invest my heart in saving them so that I can bring them to heaven.

So far I have never shed the blood of another life with my hand. If the day were ever to come that I had to lift my hand, it would be a fearful one. You should bear this in mind so that such consequences do not come to pass. Do you understand? The problem will be great on the day I see blood. That is how the fundamental rule is. That is why I am even trying to save Kim Il-sung. (210-73, 1990.12.1)

I have thought about how many people would remain if I drank alco­hol, sat here, urinated, asked why they were here and chased them away. Why do you laugh? That kind of judgment is something that can happen to anyone in heaven and earth.

In order to find the true woman who can take part in true love...  if I became half-
crazy, took off my clothes and urinated right there, I wonder how many would remain. Why? You do not know how ter­rible the path was that I took. This you do not know. Even my own mother does not know. Even Mother here does not know. Therefore, many spiritualist ladies cry tearfully in pity for me. If I do not say this, who would know? You do not know how serious the problems were that I have confronted, and how much I have had to fight with spirit and body. (210-81, 1990.12.1)
