Thoughts on Constitutions and Leadership

Since humankind has received satanic blood, people cannot return to God on their own. So the Messiah must accomplish absolute restoration of the lineage, renewing the blood line that was defied by Satan. This transition must be made. This is why the Messiah must surely come. Without his coming, there will be no restoration of lineage. CSG p. 127

In Sunday's sermon, "The Kingdom of Christ" Hyung Jin Nim shared about his personal struggles in 2012 as he began to understand Mother's intentions to change many of Father's core teachings and his efforts to persuade her in private that doing so would split the church. 

He also discussed the profound differences between the Family Federation's CIG Constitution and the Bill of Rights and the Constitution he proclaimed on October 11, which includes the 3 articles Father declared in the Coronation Ceremony of God's Kingship on January 13, 2001 to not stain the blessed blood lineage through uncommitted sex, to not violate human rights, and to not steal public funds. 

Whereas FFWPU'S CIG constitution lacks safeguards to protect freedoms and contains no checks and balances on the power of its "Supreme Council," the Sanctuary's CIG Constitution has numerous checks and balances on the powers of each branch of government. It is a real Kingdom with a real King, but even his power is limited, with no power over a military and no power to tax, raise revenue, or over government spending. The King's power essentially comes from his practicing a principled, Godly, and moral life. 

He also discussed modern culture's war to redefine the man-woman relationship and to undermine the authority and responsibility of men in their families. Government policies that reward having children outside of marriage end up making more and more women and their families so dependent on the government that it could be said that they are "married to the government," instead of to an actual man. But in a "gender-neutral world," it is the children who often pay the highest price, with increased risk for suicide, crime, and problems in school. 

Yeonah Nim shared about her experience encountering feminist viewpoints at a woman's college and how the powerful emotional gifts of women impact relationships and the "atmosphere" in the family.
