Raising Children In God's Will (120) Chapter 2. Children's Love and Parents' Love Section 4. Love of Parents
4) Parents' Love is Perpendicular - 2
However, the essential perpendicular never changes. Since the father-son relationship is the one and only, this relationship is an obligation of the heavenly principle.
Not one being in the Universe will deny this. They will affirm and admit it. There will be a natural affirmation. That is why children must obey their parents' words.
Even if the mother or father was a murderer and burglar, they would never say to their children, "You, be a murderer or a burglar when you grow up." Even if the parents are Mafia, they will say to their children, "You must not become a Mafia." They will try to isolate their children from bad people.
Recently I was in prison, but even evil parents would not say, "You must become a bad person like me." to their children. So we say to our children, "Do not be such and such a person like me." Now, all this... Did God create Eve first when He created the Universe? A simple question.
When we see from this viewpoint, if God is a father, He must first create a son who is the vertical standard. Only when the vertical standard is created, the horizontal standard can be decided.
First the vertical standard and then the horizontal. This, in other words, we can call women. So you might say, "Why did God create men first? That is unfair." But that is wrong. The perpendicular concept must come first. That is where God invested His creative ideas and His ideal purpose.
