Therefore you shall be perfect, just as your Father in heaven is perfect. (Matt. 5:48)

We have known the Bible as truth, and know about the Holy Father, the Holy Son, and the Holy Spirit a little bit. Let us learn about this more in detail. We would like to talk about the relationship surrounding God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit, that of Jesus, the Holy Spirit, and the fallen man, and that of rebirth and the Trinity.

These are truly important because the obscurity of these relationship has so far confused the Christian doctrine and Christians' life of faith.

What is the being called mankind? This is a question which many people are asking. Many people including philosophers, saints, religious leaders, and me myself have replied to this question with different ideas of their own. Ranging from the viewpoint of religious mankind, materialistic mankind, and existential mankind, there have been various explanations on the nature of man. For all of that, man could not have been able to get any satisfactory explanation so far.

So God created man in His own image; in the image of God He created him, , , have dominion over every living thing that moves on the earth. (Gen. 1:27-28)

Having created men, God bestowed the purpose of creation upon them. Thus man who has fulfilled the purpose of existence, which is the purpose of creation, becomes the temple where God can always dwell (1 Cor. 3:16) and is equipped with the divinity like God. In terms of the value, too, man becomes the one and only being as an individual body who has God's internal divinity.

In addition to this, man becomes the ruler of the whole universe as is blessed in the Genesis 1:28; to be fruitful, to multiply, and fill the earth, and to subdue it and have dominion. In this way, man who has fulfilled the purpose of creation comes to possess God's creativity, and thus becomes a being with macrocosmic value that combines the spiritual world and the physical world.

There is only one God, and one Mediator between God and men, the Man Christ Jesus. (1 Tim. 2:5) For as by one man's disobedience many were made sinners, so is also by one Man's obedience many will be made righteous. (Rom. 5:19)

The history of mankind is the history of restoration to realize Heavenly Kingdom on earth and to go toward the Tree of Life that was lost in the Garden of Eden due to the fall by Adam and Eve. Since the Tree of Life represents perfected Adam (Gen. 2:9), all mankind who is his descendants would have become the Tree of Life, had Adam not fallen.

However, as the Tree of Life was lost due to the fall of Adam, fallen man has set his hope upon attaining what Adam failed to attain. Fallen man, burdened with original sin, cannot achieve that goal by his own ability alone. Therefore, a man who has fulfilled the ideal of creation must come and draw all fallen men to himself in harmonious oneness (Rom.11:17).

Jesus was the very person, the representation of the Tree of Life (Rev. 22:14). Accordingly, perfected Adam, symbolized by the Tree of Life in the Garden of Eden, and Jesus, who is likened to the Tree of Life are identical from the standpoint of their being men who have attained the ideal of creation.

The first man Adam became a living being. The last Adam became a life-giving spirit. (1 Cor. 15:45)

. . . He who has seen Me has seen Father, so how can you say, "Show us the Father?" Do you not believe that I am in the Father, and the Father in Me? (John 14:9-10)

Today many Christians believe that Jesus is God Himself, the Creator. Jesus, as a man having fulfilled the purpose of creation, is one body with God. So, in the light of his deity, he may well be called God. Nevertheless, he can by no means be God Himself.

The relationship between God and Jesus can be compared to that between the mind and the body. We can see in a way that God's eternal deity is manifested on the earth through the physical body of Jesus.

The body, as the substantial object which resembles the mind, is one body with the mind, so it may be called a second mind (image of the mind), but the body can by no means be the mind itself. In like manner, Jesus, being one body with God, may be called a second God (image of God), but he can by no means be God Himself.

And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we beheld His glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth. (John 1:14)

It is written (John 1:14) that Jesus is the Word made flesh. This means that Jesus is the substantiation of the Word, that is the incarnation of the Word. Then it is written (John 1:3) that the wrold was made through the Word, and again (John 1:10), that the world was made through Jesus; naturally, Jesus may well be called the Creator.

Meanwhile, Jesus calls God Father, and has been interceding for us before God even in the spirit world after his resurrection (Rom.8:34), just as he did on earth. Moreover, we see that Jesus called upon "God" or "Father" for help, which is good evidence that he is not Godd Himself (Matt. 27:46). Furthermore, when we find that Jesus said on the cross, "My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?" it becomes clear that Jesus is not God Himself.

I am the vine, you are the branches. He who abides in Me, and I in him, bears much fruit; for without Me you can do nothing. (John 15:5)

Fallen man, lacking the value of the original man who has fulfilled the purpose of creation, fell to a lowly position of a servant of servants from the position of the children of God. In that lowly position, man looks up to the angels, who were created to be lower than himself. God, however, could not forsake men, and has continued His providence to restore mankind by sending His only son.

Compared th fallen man, Jesus, having no original sin, had the value of a man who has accomplished the purpose of creation, and this qualified him to become the True Parent who have fallen men to be reborn as God's son and daughter.

Therefore, Christ is the head of the church (Eph. 1:22), and we are his body and members (1 Cor. 12:27). Accordingly, Jesus is the main temple and we are the branch temples. Jesus is the vine and we are the branches (John 15:5); and we, as wild olive shoots, should be grafted into Jesus, the true olive tree, in order to become true branches (Rom. 11:17).

Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God. (John 3:3)

Jesus said that fallen man should be born anew in order to be restored. However, due to the fall of Adam and Eve, it would be impossible for evil parents with original sin to give birth to children without original sin. Accordingly, man should become a child of God and give birth to children of goodness by rebirth through Jesus.

It says (1 Peter 1:3), ". . . By his great mercy we have been born anew to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead." Jesus came as the True Father, the position which Adam had not fulfilled. This is why the Bible says that Jesus is the second Adam (1 Cor. 15:45). However, how can a father alone give birth to children? There must be a True Mother with the True Father, in order to give rebirth to fallen children of goodness without original sin. She is the Holy Spirit (John 3:5).

Accordingly, Jesus, the last Adam who came as the Tree of Life, should become the True Father, and the Holy Spirit who is the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil shoulld become the True Mother. Then they should give rebirth to fallen man.

In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God. All things were made through Him, and without Him nothing was made that was made. (John 1:1-3)

Let us be glad and rejoice and give Him glory, for the marriage of the Lamb has come, and His wife has made herself rv unless we receive the Holy Spirit.

As it is written (1 Cor. 12:3), when we believe in Jesus as the Savior through the inspiration of the Holy Spirit, we receive the love of the spiritual True Parents, coming from the give and take action between Jesus, the spiritual True Father, and the Holy Spirit, the spiritual True Mother. Then, through this love, new life is infused into those who believe in Christ, and each is reborn into a new spiritual self. This is called "spiritual rebirth."

Men fell both spiritually and physically; so he must liquidate even the original sin through "physical rebirth." Therefore, Christ must come again to accomplish man's physical salvation by being born on earth.

to open their eyes and to turn them from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan to God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins and an inheritance among those who are sanctified by faith in Me. (Acts 26:18)

"Logos" is a Hellenic word meaning "word" or "law." The explanation in John 1:1-3 that Logos is in the objective position to God forms the basis of the traditional viewpoint of Christianity that word is God and Jesus. Howeever, when we scrutinize the Bible, we may find that the eqation which identifies word with God cannot be formed.

Logos stands in the objective position to God. Since God, as the subject of Logos, contains dual essentialities within Himself, Logos, as His object, should also contain dual essentialities. The things of creation, which were made through Logos, have dual essentialities either. Adam and Eve were the substantial object of God, divided from the dual essentialities of Logos. Because of their fall, however, Adam and Eve multiplied the evil descendants and could not realize the Kingdom of Heaven on earth.

For He whom God has sent speaks the words of God, for God does not give the Spirit by measure.(John 3:34)

According to the Principle of Creation, God's purpose of creation cannot be realized unless a creation has formed a four position foundation by fulfilling its three objective purposes through origin-division-union action.

The four position foundation is the base for the fulfillment of God's goodness and is the ultimate goal of His creation. This is the base through which God's power is channeled to flow into all of His creation in order for creation to exist. Therefore, the formation of the four position foundation is ultimately God's eternal purpose of creation. In the same token, Jesus and the Holy Spirit also have to stand as substantial objects of God, and formed a four position foundation centered on God by becoming one unit through the give and take action.

Then Jesus and the Holy Spirit become one unit centered on God and this is Trinity of the Holy Father, the Son of God, and the Holy Spirit.

The Father loves the Son, and has given all things into His hand. He who believes in the Son has everlasting life. (John 3:35-36)

Originally, God's purpose of creating Adam and Eve was to form a trinity by uniting them into one body in love as the True Parents of mankind, thus establishing the four position foundation centered on God. If they had perfected themselves without the fall, forming a trinity as the True Parents centered on God, and had multiplied children of goodness, all thier descendants would have grown to become married couples of goodness centered on God, each pair forming a trinity with God. However, due to the fall, Adam and Eve established the four position foundation centered on Satan, thus establishing the four position foundation centered on Satan. Therefore, their descendants have also formed trinities centered on Satan, and have brought about a human society of curruption. Therefore, God must work to have all fallen men born anew through the True Parents of mankind, Jesus and the Holy Spirit-one as the second Adam and the other as the second Eve-and then having all form respectively a trinity centered on God.

This explains why God has sent, throughout the history of mankind, countless prophets and the Messiah to men and developed the work of the Holy Spirit in order to save the fallen men.

For as the Father raises the dead and gives life to them, even so the Son gives life to whom He will. (John 5:21)

Because of men's disbelief, Jesus was delivered up for crucifixtion and his body was invaded by Satan. Therefore, he could not form a trinity that covers both body and spirit. Jesus could take the role of spiritual True Parent only. Since Jesus and the Holy Spirit have undertaken the mission of spiritual rebirth only, the saints still remain in the position of their spiritual children, having been restored through the spiritual Trinity only.

Men stand in a position where they have not formed a perfect Trinity with God. Just as Paul's confession, 'with the mind I myself serve the law of God, but with the flesh the law of sin (Romans 7:25),' man formed trinities centered on Satan in terms of physical body.

For as the Father has life in Himself, so He has granted the Son to have life in Himself. (John 5:26)

Therefore, Christ must come again inflesh 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 from (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 and with the Lord of Second Advent, then the Kingdom of Heaven on earth will be restored through the realization of God's three great blessings to man.
