faith and economics

2.  Due to the human Fall, the world was taken from God's dominion and placed
under Satan's dominion. That is, as a consequence of the Fall, the realms of
heart, lineage and ownership that should have been centered on God
changed to being centered on Satan. In the providence of restoration, God
has been working to reverse this dominion. True Parents came to bring
closure to all aspects of the providence. As the condition to complete the
restoration of all material things under Satan's dominion, bringing them back
to God's dominion, True Parents instituted the Total Living Offering. True
Parents specified that to fulfill the Total Living Offering, each single member
or each family had to make the condition of offering in their own names a
designated portion of their assets to heaven. They emphasized the
importance of this offering as the foundation to substantiate God's kingdom
on earth. They also said that this condition is even more important than an
individual's absolute faith, because it sets a condition for all eternity. (CBG,
Book 10 Chapter 1 Section 2)

3.  Rich people should willingly pay
70 percent of their income in
taxes, and poor people should
willingly pay 30 percent in
taxes; this will make a balance.
Then there is no one to
complain. Christianity
developed by accepting tithes,
ten percent of people's income,
but the next step is to offer 30
percent of one's income. In
order to save the world, rich
people should set aside funds
in a bank account that can be
used to build facilities in
underdeveloped regions in
Africa

4.  The ultimate goal of religion is to create one family
under God, where everyone will live free from
discrimination. True Parents established many
companies and developed marine resources in order
to save people from starvation. By promoting the
equalization of wealth and technology, they have
been striving to create an environment where all
nations of the world can live in prosperity. True
Parents have been emphasizing that the way to achieve
the equalization of wealth is for the rich to share their
wealth with those who are in need, and for wealthy
nations to help impoverished nations. In this way, we can
create a world based on true love, which manifests the
ideals of interdependence, mutual prosperity and
universally shared values. Their teaching is that building
such a world where God's Will is fulfilled is the way to
achieve the ultimate social justice. Hence, throughout
their lives they have poured out their hearts, souls and
resources for the establishment of God's nation on earth,
the kingdom of God on earth where all people live in
happiness.
 (CBG Book 10 Chapter 1, Section 2, 13)

5. True Father’s purpose of doing business and
making money is to perform the role of
bonding all the people of the world, whether
rich or poor. His financial foundation is to be
shared with those in poverty for the
liberation of all humankind. This is the
equalization that he is trying to realize. Developed
countries try to place weaker nations under their
control, but they should not do that.

6.  According to True Parents, material things are an
essential element of human life. They are God's gift to
us, His children. For this reason, True Parents
advocate for equalization, saying that for human
beings to become the true owners of the
material world, they need to have equal use of
the material things that God has given them.
Thus, they warn against some nations
dominating others by monopolizing scientific
technology and economic power. Based on this
view of economics, True Parents present the vision of
a God-centered, global community rooted in the ideals
of interdependence, mutual prosperity and universally
shared values.
(CBG Book 10 Chapter 1 Section 1, 9)

7.  What does it mean that religion is indifferent to material things so
far? It means that we are looking for a global Cain, and we cannot
find substance until a global Adam appears. The problem is finding
the archangel and finding Adam. Do you understand?
 「Yes」Then what do we do, we have to find all things with our own
hands. All things…. To whom do these things belong to? Are they
public or private?「They are public」 We need to find universal
material things.
 That’s why, since 1970 the Unification Church entered the era of
economic restoration. Hence, there were rumours like ‘Ah,
Reverend Moon is also good at business'. We will be the richest
people in the world. You have to be the world’s wealthiest person.
You have to be the richest person. (Applause)

8. So far, I've been to Pantanal, fishing,
and going to the mountains to make
an emotional bond with nature. We’ve
come to this point with the love of
God, the love of humanity, and the
love of all things, the meaning of all
this is the history of indemnity and
for the economic restoration. (302-
239, 1999.06.14)

9. Cheon Seong Gyeong Book10 Chapter 4 Section 4
Clause 28 [CSG Book 10]
CSG10.4.4: 28 Now comes the time when
there will no longer be a need for policy
direction. When there is no longer any
distinction between developed and
developing nations. Knowledge belongs to
the entire universe; it can never belong to
just one nation. That is why since the
1980s True Parents have been promoting
the sharing of technology, knowledge,
wealth, material and financial resources.
Currently I am promoting equality in
education and technology.(340-084,

10. • Identity education

13.  That is why a consumer union is needed. We need
material things to live a family life. I also applied
for one box of Mccol at a time, and needed
everything. You’ll need mccol, then a consumer
union, and then a newspaper. How cheap are
consumer union items?
 These are the 3 items. We’re going to focus on the
3 major items and lay the foundation for the
economy. Three people take care of an item each.
Since there are three people, one is in charge
of Mccol, another is in charge of the
newspaper, and the other of what? The
consumer union!

15.  The history of the Unification Church wasn’t about
respecting things or material goods until 1970. We
had to play the game of respecting people. We’ve
been through that history. Since the 1970s, we
were able to expand the foundation of children
to be united with God and parents, and after
that take an interest in material wealth. It was
after 1970 that our Unification Church
established its economic foundation. We have
to give up our country.
 It was the Jews who crucified Jesus, but the
ones who crucified him would rule the world.
The world has entered the Jewish sphere. Marx
was a Jew, Roosevelt too, and the entire top of the
administration right now are Jews. Yes, they’re
thinking of unifying the world with Judaism at the
center.

17. The ultimate purpose of man is economy?
앞으로 세계 경제권을 쥐려면 판매조직을 세계화시켜야
 If we do sales training in the world , just organize the world
sale teams with our team then the economy has nowhere
to go. The global economy is now a sales issue. Who sells
it? If we have a sales organization and just train, the world
economy is completely in our hands because they can't get
us. Aren't we global organizations? If you train and
organize all 120 countries with France and Italy so on, the
world economy has no place. Is there anyone among us
who will suffer if this happens? That's why you are
exercising now under that massive plan. I need to know
that I'm training to get it back then. 90-280

19.  In the future, we cannot lead the world centered on the
economic power of our Unification Church without making
things that can move the United States and the world. That
is why you should understand that it is my responsibility to
find and train powerful new methods in such fields.
 We don’t have factories in the United States, nor do we
have any financial backers. We are as good as naked
people. If you don’t have something to wear, you’ll have to
learn to grow cotton and make clothes out of it. We must
overcome the cold and heat and be united.
 It takes a great deal of economic power to save this
country and this world. If we said that we’d be
responsible for this, we would need to make it at all
costs, to help with and create the driving force to
move it. We can study in many ways, focusing on the
question of how to build the Unification Church in the future
and develop it worldwide. This is your economic activity….
We need to make a movement in which each of us takes
responsibility in the real world.

23. The first Jewish
settlements in the
United States were a
laundry, restaurant and
cleaning shop.
They gradually occupied
local buildings and
began to take over real
estate.

24.  From a global perspective, if we can build up
economic foundations in Japan, the United States
and Germany and the Unification Church leaders
there can manage the each country’s economy, we
can build and manage a global economy. The more
the Unification Church spreads, the more it can control
the global economy. Through such control of the global
economy, it tries to pave the way for the world’s people
to live well.
 Therefore, if we build a base in the United States, it will
be comparable to that in Germany. If you lay the
foundation in Japan, the United States and Germany,
you can move the world’s economy. In doing so, I am
now planning a three dimensional global plan. Until the
1980s, the world could not be moved without completely
laying the foundation in the United States. Even if the
threat of the communist world destroys the democratic
world’s economic system, we can survive. If I don’t, I
can’t work and I have to back down.

25. There were many restrictions on jobs
for Jews, but they were allowed in
the financial sector. Therefore,
through the Jewish network around
the world, they created their own
credibility and, they could create a
perfect solidarity and a strong
united financial industry.
For example, when the Jews in Venice
deposited money, they could borrow
it from the Jews in Shanghai or Cairo.

28. In the Gold Rush, when everyone was
looking for gold, a new chapter of
history was created with a different idea.
The Jews’ new challenges create history.

31.  If asked what the man’s dream is, for all Jews have
sinned, it is so that they can be forgiven for their sins….
Therefore, if you ask what that person is doing now, the
wind blows against the Unification Church, the bone
marrow of Judaism, the direct lineage of Judaism, or the
direct lineage of Moses, he is like the pope in a Jewish
state. Like a parish priest in New York, but what is that?
「Rabbi (rabbi; rabbi)」 It is Rabbi. What do you call him
in Catholicism? 「Bishop」 or similar to bishop. He’ll be the
bishop, and he’ll take responsibility for the church and
whatever it is, and return now that the negotiations are
over.
 That’s why I’m fully cooperating with sponsors. I’m
saying that the Messiah has come. No one else is the
Messiah. That’s what I’m doing now.

32. The driving force of the Tong Il group is
the church.
The church is in the position of the
mind, while the business is in the
position of the body.
The driving force behind Israel’s
business is trust and co-operation.
Israel’s development is a vision of the
future.
Leading future society into a world of
unity.
