Communism does its utmost to destroy democracy and Christian-based family values. They lure the young with drugs and stir them with anti-authority values in order to bring disharmony to family life. They also alienate men and women from each other. In this way, Christian authority is ruined. The Communist arrow is shattering our civilization. We must stop this. Who is Jesus? Christians answer, "Jesus is the Savior." The word Savior is applied only to Jesus, not just anybody. Theoretically speaking, you cannot have thousands of people titled Savior. That's impossible. For this reason, Communism is destined to be relegated to the dustbin of history . We must rebuild historic Christian principles. This re-building cannot be done with the old principles. We must perfect Christian personality by entering a higher level of being and character that will stand eternally. If we say capitalism is based on democratic culture, and democratic culture based on Christian civilization, what is the purpose of Communist infiltration? It is to destroy Christian civilization. In view of this, it's important for us to know how Communism infiltrates Christianity. I sometimes wonder if the infiltration has not already been completed. Reviewing today's theological trends, it is easy to see that theologians have concluded that there is no God. That's their conclusion. That leads us to believe that the Communist infiltration of Christian principles and its breakup of the theological schools has already been completed. The theological views center around personal salvation, holding individual salvation as the main purpose. But the Communists have begun to argue that Jesus came not to save individuals, but to start a revolution against the Roman Empire. They quote Jesus' preaching to the poor and sayings about the difficulty of rich persons to go to heaven as evidence for their argument. They also argue that there must be no God because there was no response when Jesus cried, when faced with the cross, "Father, let this cup pass from me. But it is as You will, not I," and "Why have you forsaken me?" Therefore, God is man's own creation. Religion is in part an ethical system and cannot abrogate its social responsibility, they argue. The reason for Christian development was, they say, for the capitalists to perpetuate their superior social positions. Over 80 percent of theologians and seminary professors deny that God exists. There are trends toward social salvation, away from individual salvation, and toward liberation theology and political theology as new names. They are trying to build a social revolution toward a secular utopia. The Communists are trying to change the direction of Christianity. Therefore, because the foundation of Christian traditional culture is the family and society, our problem is how to correctly change the family and society. We must realize that the hippies and yuppies, corruption, drugs, and so on are all part of Communist world strategy. In particular, free sex, the homosexual and lesbian movement and other such phenomena destroy human rights and dignity. It has reached a point where no one, not even theologians or national governments, can stop the destruction of the family and churches. What has happened to the mainstream of Christianity? It has fallen into individualism. The United States, for example, has been completely severed from the Christian belief. Christianity cannot be individualistic. Individualism, when it expands, tends to deny the world, nation, family, tradition, and history. I have received a letter recently from a young Communist, which warns me of the perils that churches face from Communist activities. He says in the letter that they are given money to donate to a church as they infiltrate church bases for their activities. I personally received that letter that should be exposed to the world. You must know that many existing church ministers dance to the Communist tune. You must realize that they send members to churches to work in cell-units in America. You must realize that through these cell-units they perpetuate anti-government and anti-Korea activities worldwide. We must recognize that there are established Christian ministers who are controlled by this sinister force behind them, several times removed from the scene, without even recognizing the fact that they are being controlled. Given this situation in America, what are you going to do about America? Very soon, the Communists agents will play Jews and Christians against each other. Those are already ganging up on the Unification Church; however, once that war is over, they will be fighting each other. They have plenty of reasons to ignite a war between them. Jews already say the Reverend Moon is anti-Jewish; but once they start a war with the Christians it will be much worse. We remain silent because we know all this. Look, everybody. You must know that there are Communists among the ranks of Catholic priests. It's true for Protestants and Catholics alike. These days, some leftist priests say Jesus was a communist. They point out, as reasons, that Jesus preached to the poor. That's true. We must understand that there are many wolves in sheep's clothing. What is the Communist Party? It's the whip to be used for judging Christianity. Christianity must repent. The whip will not be used if we understand the cause of our own ruination and destroy the cause that contradicts Heaven's edicts and repent sincerely before God. The whip will be withdrawn then. When faced with Communist perils, Christianity must call on its young people from all over the world and defend the nations in order to thwart the perils. All Christians of the world must unite economically and in human resources and support those nations in trouble from Communist infiltration. Reverend Moon believes that this is the last stand against the Communist ideology.
