Who are the True Parents?

Mappy Man asks a straight question and it deserves a straight answer. His question is

"Can you tell me something very simple Robert. Who are the True Parents?"

There are two parts of this question, one part for the Spiritual world, and another for the physical world. I will deal with the physical world first. To do this I will start with a rarity for me and directly quote some of Father's words
.............
"There will always be a physical representative of the True Father here on earth, from one generation to another; there will be that axis on which the earth will turn. Therefore, all of you here on earth and all the people in the generations to come will be centered upon the same axis."

......
Let me add this is from the book of speeches Father personally proof read while in prison in the US. I was at a speech once the book was published where he stated that it contains the core of who he is and his purpose.

Now I want to point out
"There will always be a physical representative of the True Father here on earth, from one generation to another;"

To put bluntly to you Mappy Man and others, that is Hyung Jin Nim. When you speak of him, listen to him, or interact with him, it is the same as doing so with Father himself in the physical world. Now who is the one that stands as the true wife and mother to this person? It is none other than his wife Yeon Ah Nim. When you speak of her, listen to her, or interact with her it is the same as if you are interacting with the 'True Mother'.

Now to the Spiritual world. I will state it bluntly but clearly. True Father is there in spiritual world, but the position (Chair) of True Mother is vacant. The reason for that is due to the failure of Han Hak-Ja to remain a true object. Yes it is that simple.

The True Mother will be fulfilled in spirit world when it is completed here on earth. It remains to be seen who and how that shall be.

THE WORD

The bible is very metaphorical in the New Testament, even more so than the Old Testament. Yet as the ages unfold it seems that is really the best way to record timeless truths. Even from the view point of 'science and logic' the more they advance the more in alignment they become with the metaphors of the bible.

Often I was at the feet of the LSA (Father) when he would suddenly state he was not merely speaking to us present, or even the people of our generation and time, but to all of the people of the past (Spiritual world), those of the present time and age, and to the generations thousands of years from now.

The famous and often quoted bible verse of John 1:14
"And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us," (KJV)

So let me put out there this
If the Word was 'made' flesh, when the flesh will cease what would remain?

To me it would be the word that would endure and be eternal. For me the Word would be the eternal 'body' of ones self. So when we read the very words of the LSA we are directly relating with his 'living flesh' in a sense. The very words that where left behind are priceless beyond measure.

So I have to ask Dan Fefferman directly, and everyone in general, should anyone be messing with the very words of the LSA? Dan stated the following recently

'My personal view is that the new version should have been published as a "second edition" or "volume 2" instead of replacing the original'

Father himself stated that there would not be denominationalism because the word (CSG) would NOT be changed (paraphrasing here). Yet we see it was touched and changed, and we see the very desire of the LSA being violated.

I started this FB group to leave the PR / Politics / PC stuff behind, so let us do so on this key of the 'WORD'. I will also make clear that anyone replying and commenting to this thread will not be suspended, blocked, or cast out by anyone other than me (Robert Pickell). So if you can trust in my integrity to have an open and frank discussion about this vital point, let us have at it. Let us also beseech our Father in heaven for his guidance on this.

TIME TO GROW UP .... what is a personal attack ???

This is one many people harp about constantly. I want to lay out that is time we all get real about this and each other.

If I call someone a Bitch, whore, pimp, or such, you are correct that is a personal attack. The question is not about the nature of it being personal, but if it is valid and proper in the context it is being used.

Jesus himself call individuals and groups vial names. Father himself called people bastards and whores. So if anyone thinks God does not use 'foul' language, you are greatly mistaken. But it is not used haphazardly, or with out clear purpose and meaning. We have all known and meet people who use foul language to shore up their ego and lack of love. This is no different than those that use 'proper' language and vocabulary to speak 'Above' to show they are superior and smart, to shore up their egos and lack of love feelings. Neither is proper in a relationship and exchange.

Now directly to the issue of personal attacks ... I hope most people coming here have some basic grounding in the DP and teachings of Rev. Moon (Father). One of the most concise points is that PEOPLE individually are conflicted beings (we have opposing desires) internally in ourselves. The world that we experience daily is a RESULT of this in every way. This is a result of the Fall of Man and the fact we inherited a NATURE (it is part of us) that is Evil (Fallen). We still retain an Original (Good) Nature as well. These are at conflict within each individual born of the Fallen lineage.

The reason I bring this up is to make the point that defeating Evil is a PERSONAL thing and responsibility. It is NOT a Collective thing. Never has been and never will be at its core. As such when confronting the fallen nature of others, it is completely proper to call it out on a personal level. Many see this as a personal attack, and I will not deny that, but it is an attack on the evil self and not done to destroy the person God created and desires to be victorious and successful. When you look at Jesus own use of this, it becomes clear.

As such I do not disallow personal attacks, actually I use them frequently, but let me make clear this. No matter what you say and use here, you are personally responsible for it. Also if you attack someone personally you will need to show some foundation as to why you make the claim you do against another.

As for those who receive 'personal' attacks, if they are based in some premise or action it is up to you, yourself to defend yourself, or if it is valid to digest it and learn from it and grow. For a personal 'attack' can show what evil you need to separate from if you are truly humble before God.

We should be big enough and mature enough in God's Love and ideal to be honest with each other and able to accept words of truth, even if they are foul and personal. Do not attempt to put God into a box that he will never fit in.
