As they were going along the road, someone said to him, “I will follow you wherever you go.” And Jesus said to him, “Foxes have holes, and birds of the air have nests, but the Son of Man has nowhere to lay his head.” To another he said, “Follow me.” But he said, “Lord, let me first go and bury my father.” And Jesus[g] said to him, “Leave the dead to bury their own dead. But as for you, go and proclaim the kingdom of God.” Yet another said, “I will follow you, Lord, but let me first say farewell to those at my home.” Jesus said to him, “No one who puts his hand to the plow and looks back is fit for the kingdom of God.” Luke 9:57-62
The Unification Movement that was initiated by the Unification Church attempts to bring solutions to the problems of the world and humanity. First, the Unification Movement is a movement that can bring an aggressive solution to the issues raised by Communism. For this to be done, the free world should first have a spiritual realization and repentance. Based on this spiritual realization and repentance, all solutions for the human problems will be derived.
For the sake of building a world of goodness, the absolute standard of morality cannot be seen apart from the creator, God, based on His views on the right values because He is the only one who is eternal and unchanging.

Greetings!
We were privileged to go to an event hosted by General Michael Flynn at the University Club in Washington, DC. He had been asked to lead the Gold Institute for International Strategy on different public policy issues. His brother, Gen. Charles Flynn, who was in charge of 100,000 soldiers in the Indo-Pacific area, gave a detailed discussion of 6 regions of the Indo-Pacific area which ranges from the Artic to the Korean Peninsula to Oceania. Kook Jin Nim, who was introduced as CEO of Kahr Arms also spoke. Most spoke from a military or economic perspective. One brother mentioned to Gen. Flynn about True Father’s efforts to create a United States of Micronesia, etc.
We don’t usually think of ourselves as historical people, but we are. He spoke about the dedication of Unification Church leader Reiner Vincenz who led the French UC movement in the 1970s. He escaped from East Germany at age 15.
On the trip to DC, Harrison Nguyen shared with Regis about his dramatic experiences with Communism in Vietnam.

We are living in the midst of an ongoing world war. We do not want those to spread, but we need to be prepared. China gave nuclear weapons technology to North Korea, to cause more chaos, but it led to a closer relationship between South Korea and Japan. Regis mentioned the blessing of 10,000 Japanese-Korean couples in 1992 as a condition for that closer relationship to take place.
The Divine Principle explains the outline of history that Confucianists and others did not understand. The apostles of Jesus did not really understand him, as shown in 9:52-62. Christianity is centered on individual salvation, not a wholistic view. DP teaches about the family restoration paradigm, with discussions of the families of Jacob, of Moses, etc.
Jesus was looking for his bride, to start a new lineage. There were many family dynamics going on, which should have facilitated his acceptance, but ended up doing the opposite.

Despite worldwide persecution we are still here. We need to speak out for a broader perspective advocating for religious freedom for all people , the reality of the spiritual world, the sexual nature of the Fall, that Jesus wanted to marry, etc.
Christianity has misinterpreted the parable about the banquet. The guests were invited to witness the marriage supper of the Lamb. They were not the bride. There was supposed to be an actual bride of Jesus, to start a new lineage.
The late British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher was asked what was the most innovative idea in the last 1,000 years. Her answer was “the United States.”
We don’t know what people are saying about the Unification Sanctuary. Serious people are paying attention.

| | Understanding Father and Mother’s Conflicting Understandings of “Only Begotten” | |
By Brian Sabourin, UTS Divinity Class of 1981
December 1, 2025
I have always wondered why we use the term “Only Begotten” given the Exposition of the Divine Principle (hereafter referred to as EDP or just DP) teaching and TrueFather’s (hereafter referred to as “Father”) words. When our members hear them, what do they think they mean? In Seminary I learned how this terminology developed in the councils of Nicaea and Chalcedon and, as a result, wondered why we adopted them. As most people know, Christianity affirms that Jesus did not have a human father—God was Jesus’ father.[1]
Father, on the other hand, has indicated that Jesus did have a human father—Zachariah. The EDP sections on the “Principle of Creation” and “Christology” clearly distinguish Father’s teaching from traditional Christian theology. So, I take issue with the use of the term “Only Begotten” because EDP and Father’s teachings clearly indicate that the Christian understanding of the words “Only” and “Begotten” are incorrect and do not correlate to Unification Theology. In our theology, Adam and Eve were meant to be the first perfected, true human beings—true parents—not the only true parents.
[A FamilyFed pastor] decided to ask Jin-Choon Kim (former President of Cheongshim Graduate School of Theology who gave officially approved lectures to Family Fed members on the new Only Begotten Daughter theology). why Mother was using the term Only Begotten Daughter since he had never heard Father use this term? Jin-Choon Kim then told him that he and other theologians had recommended it to her . He said that he and the other theologians had discussed the use of the term and reached consensus over its appropriateness. They told Mother that she could adopt this term to help clarify and proclaim her true identity.
The whole idea of OBS runs completely against the Principle view of Christology. Are we suddenly going to subscribe to the Nicene Creed? If so, we should have done so 60 years ago and saved ourselves so much persecution. Jesus was the ONLY begotten son because he was God the Son and the 2nd person of the Trinity. No room for anyone else. In other words, no one else can become like Jesus because Jesus is God because he was begotten by God.
Is this what we believe or teach? As such, Jesus has existed since the beginning. The church teaches anathema on anyone who says there was a time when he was not. Has True Mother existed from the very beginning before the creation of the world? Also, God crudely speaking, was his Dad. His mother wasa virgin and God was his Dad. A pagan idea deeply offensive to Jews and Muslims.
