Rebirth in Christian teaching and the Principle view.

1. Divine Principle
&
Rebirth
v. 1

2. Background:
The Bible talks about Rebirth as not about a physical birth,
but about receiving a spiritual renewal.
Since the original sin in the garden by Adam (Genesis 3),
all mankind is born in a corrupted state by inheritance.
It is by that our soul needs to be reborn—made pure
and righteous again—the way God created us to be.
He provided the way for this to happen, but because
God gave us free will, we have a choice to accept it or not.

3. Background:
The term in the original Greek text is gennaṓ (born) meaning
“to regenerate” and ańōthen (again) meaning “from above,
anew.”
Both meanings are consistent with the redeeming purpose.
The label of Christian (Christianos) means “follower of Christ.”
The born again Christian has accepted this supernatural
transformation from sin to righteousness, evil to good.

4. Jesus came as the True Father in order to give rebirth
to fallen people, transforming them into good children,
thoroughly cleansed of original sin. The Holy Spirit
came as the True Mother (p. 170).

5. Christ must come again in flesh in order that he may become
the True Parent both spiritually and physically, by forming
the substantial Trinity centered on God.
He will then, by giving them rebirth both spiritually and physically,
have all fallen men form (by couples) substantial trinities centered
on God, after having liquidated the original sin.
When fallen men have established the four position foundation in
the original form centered on God, then the Kingdom of Heaven
on earth will be restored through the realization of
God's three great blessings to man.

8. Principle view:
Jesus came as the True Father whom Adam had failed to
become. For this reason, the Bible speaks of him as
"the last Adam" and the "Everlasting Father."
(I Cor. 15:45); (Isa. 9:6)
However, a father alone cannot give birth to children.
There must be a True Mother, as well as a True Father,
for fallen children to be reborn as good children.
The Holy Spirit came as the True Mother.
This is why Jesus told Nicodemus that no one can enter
the Kingdom of God unless he is born anew through the
Holy Spirit. (John 3:5)

9. Spiritual Rebirth through Jesus and the Holy Spirit
A new life is born through the love of parents.
When we believe in Jesus as the Savior through the
inspiration of the Holy Spirit,(I Cor. 12:3) we receive the
love of the spiritual True Parents, which is generated through
the give and take between Jesus, the spiritual True Father,
and the Holy Spirit, the spiritual True Mother.
Through this love, new life is infused into us, and our spirits
are reborn as new selves. This is spiritual rebirth.

10. Nevertheless, since human beings fell both
spiritually and physically, we must be cleansed of
original sin by being born again both spiritually and physically.
Christ must return to earth to grant physical salvation to
humanity, which is to be realized through our physical rebirth.

11. Change of Blood Lineage; The Real Experience of
Salvation by the Messiah
October 13,1970--Seoul, Korea
Only God knows all things completely; therefore,
complete dominion is possible only by God.
Adam himself is a created being, and it is impossible for a
created being to have complete dominion over the
creation.
Therefore, God made Adam in His image so that He
might live directly in him. In other words, God intended to
make Adam stand in the position of God's resonator and
wanted to control the universe directly through him.

12. The creation of Adam
Through Adam's form, God planned to have dominion
over both the spiritual world and the physical world, with
Adam as the center. That was the purpose of creation.
Therefore, God had to have a substantial relationship with
the substantial being, Adam, in order to have dominion
over all things.
Adam's perfection would represent the perfection of
God's Hyung Sang [visible, external form]. The body of
Adam and his personality or spirit were the same type as
that of God, who is the center of the incorporeal realm.
Without a form, God could not have dominion over the
world of form. With that idea, God created Adam.

13. Resurrection of love
Mankind has been suffering through 6,000 biblical years
up till now in order to be liberated from the bondage of
Satan's love. God has been prevented from entering the
inner mind of people directly to recover the necessary
central point, so He has had to adopt an indirect method
to penetrate their conscience.
In history, therefore, God sent prophets, saints, and
sages, hoping that through them fallen man would
receive His love and truth. That has been the history of
restoration up until now. God's providence has centered
on the recovery of love. Its goal is to restore people
whose conscience is indwelt by God. It aims at unity
through God's love.

14. God had to send Jesus to the earth when the time was
right, even if the foundation was not completed.
If Judaism and Israel had become one, Jesus could have
taken the position of True Parents because he would
have stood upon the substantial foundation for the
Messiah.
Since he could not take the position of True Parents,
he could not accomplish the change of blood lineage
centering upon new love.
That is the principled explanation.

16. The necessity for the Messiah
Then why do we need the Messiah?
What is his purpose?
He comes for the purpose of salvation.
In order to be saved, man must go back to the point which
connects us to God's love.
How are we to accomplish that?

17. People have inherited satanic blood and have become
substantial beings who have nothing to do with God's
blood lineage.
We are completely opposite from the realm of God's love,
and this must be indemnified.
Man's original sin must be removed;
the blood lineage from Satan must be changed.
But fallen people cannot do it by themselves;
therefore, the Messiah is necessary.

18. True Parents must become one with the love of God,
establish a good reciprocal standard with Him, and love
the world as if it is theirs.
Otherwise it is absolutely impossible to remove fallen nature
and original sin.
Therefore, parents of evil and parents of goodness have to
struggle and compete with each other for love, but the love
of the True Parents will endure.
Satanic love will be removed from man; the blood lineage
will be changed.

19. 1970s

20. The way of Jesus
Everybody has to carry his own cross.
If you cannot fulfill that standard, you cannot be saved.
You must be willing to face death itself.
By establishing that absolute standard, your evil blood
lineage can be cleansed.
In order to have it cleansed, we must work and take action,
not just talk about it or have feelings about it.
We must do strong things, such as fasting and prayer,
thus going through the boundary of life and death.

21. With total determination to leave nothing unaccomplished,
Jesus endured that suffering. He established victory on
his own individual level, but his challenge was how to
connect this with all of human history and how to reenact
all past situations and set a victorious foundation,
resolving all past failures, in order to stand as the Messiah.

22. Text from ChamBumo Gyeong;
Human beings, who are born as fallen descendants of
Adam and Eve, can never go to heaven unless they walk
the seven-year restoration course.
It is not spoken of in the Bible, but Jesus also traveled such
a course, the seven-year period from when he was 27 to
when he was 33. The period from age 34 to 40 would have
been his second seven-year course.
In this way, Jesus could have established the worldwide
foundation by age 40.
However, because the people did not accept him and he
died, that period remains in the Bible as seven years of
great calamity and disturbance. SMM
/ChamBumo Gyeong Book 5 (1968/09/01)

24. Foundation of love
In Jesus' case, it was not enough to stand on the individual
level; he also had to stand on the level of history.
For that purpose he had go through all the courses of history
in order to reverse the direction of history.
No past victorious foundation was offered to him.
History could only be restored through his life of public
ministry.
God chose certain representatives in history, in the stages of
formation, growth, and completion, to represent history
and the world. History had to develop in this reversal course.

25. Teaching of resurrection
Christianity has become a world religion both in concept and
in reality. It teaches that everybody must be reborn,
just as Jesus told Nicodemus,
'Unless one is born anew, he cannot see the kingdom of God.'
(John 3:3)
You must establish the condition to inherit the heart of history;
otherwise the start and motivation for resurrection is not
fulfilled.

26. Then for the blood lineage to be reversed, conditions must
be established so that the seed which is going to become
a future child enters the bone marrow of Adam and connects
with God's love.

28. Love for Jesus
Because people in the world all came from the seeds of Adam,
many people are anxious to go back to the original Adam.
The Holy Spirit is the feminine aspect of God which is
urging us to go back to Jesus, the unfallen Adam.
Thus, all Christians must become part of the seed in
Jesus' body in order to become his children, reborn through
the Holy Spirit.

30. The way of rebirth
The realm of total perfection cannot be achieved without a
condition for restoring fallen Eve.
The Holy Spirit and Jesus must give rebirth centering upon
original love.
In order for Jesus to be born, God in His providence prepared
a certain historical foundation of heart.
That providence must involve the womb of a woman.

31. Jesus
Both in heaven and on earth, angels were mobilized to
welcome and attend him at his birth.
From then, the new world was begun.
If Jesus' family: had fully supported him, and especially if
John the Baptist had followed him, then Judaism could have
completely united with Jesus, for John was known as a
prophet.

32. Israelites without a nation
Unification Church members are like the Israelites;
they are a chosen people without a nation.
Therefore they have to suffer: but no matter what,
they have to overcome and occupy the original nation.
We must establish one nation under God's sovereignty;
for that purpose we have been passing through the course
of suffering.
What is our hope? Our hope is to someday restore God's
sovereignty and build a nation which we can be proud of
and register ourselves as citizens of that nation.

34. Lord of the Second Advent
Tragically, Jesus died a miserable death.
The seed within Jesus' bone marrow was connected spiritually
to God and produced spiritual salvation, but from the Principle
point of view Jesus must come again to fulfill his mission.
The Messiah absolutely must come again into this world.
The worldwide Christian foundation has been laid for that
purpose.

35. My mission
If the Christian churches become united, it would be as if
Israel and Judaism had united into one country.
So if Christianity becomes united, the democratic countries
will naturally become united.
Then the world can stand in the sphere of salvation.

36. The change of blood lineage
From the Principle point of view, I first have to lay the national
indemnity foundation.
I have become a man of victory, so from now on we will see
the horizontal foundation on the national level.
That horizontal foundation must be done through Japan;
that is the Principle formula.
Many prophets and pioneers in Japan had to make sacrifices
in the past. The Eve nation should be filled with gratitude to
be suffering for the sake of the Adam nation.
That is the historical task of Japan.

37. You are given the Blessing, which means you are given
the way to the new blood lineage.
You are standing on the foundation of thousands of years of
God's suffering, as well as my own suffering.
When you get married you become engrafted;
by being engrafted you come to have a different blood lineage.
