Dear sisters and brothers,
How can there be any such thing as "misbegotten children"? With respect, isn't that a misinterpretation of Genesis and the Divine Principle? In the United States of America, we hold this truth to be self evident; "All men are created equal." (and women) Where does that leave room for "misbegotten children"? Isn't the whole notion of "misbegotten children" just a social construct?
Doesn't every part of creation hold both "eternal" and "temporal" aspects? The "fallen" or temporal, the works of time and space, doesn't mean less than, does it? Doesn't "purely begotten children" just mean without "the knowledge of good and evil"? Isn't it really just a point of view problem? Every child is "pure"!
Thank you for considering my questions.
Best regards
Mark

Hello,
With respect, what if the “infection” ends up being the “police force,” “family,” or “Cheon Il Guk” itself? The institutions themselves? Will they voluntarily “eliminate” themselves?
Isn’t the whole notion of “force” contrary to the Principle of Creation?
Isn’t the separation of church and state authorities very important?
How will individual privacy and rights be protected from these institutions?
Thank you for your consideration of my questions.
PS
If the writer of the Gospel of John used Jesus speaking of “living water” as a metaphor, isn’t the woman also speaking of the water as a metaphor? The Old Testament water vs. the New Testament water?
Wouldn’t the “five husbands” be the five books of Moses?
Wouldn’t the woman herself be a metaphor?
