The tests for democracy and Communism are already over. Then what is Moonism, Unificationism, or Godism?

Man should exist as a being of love based on the ideal relationship with love as a vertical axis and with the principle of existence on the horizontal. This should not be only a theory; such should be done in reality. (12/12/85)

What is Godism? It is love-ism. People in the Unification Church are a people who strive to achieve Godism, centered on God's love. (163-89)

You should understand that the reason why the world opposed the Unification Church is due to such a providential background. In order to deal with the opposition of nations and world against the Unification Church, the Unification Church should come up with an "ism," which is Godism. Godism is the ideal of love centered on God. Such is the reason why the Unification Church has been fighting for Godism before the two worlds. (1/4/85)

What is Unification Thought? It is a thought that can possess first God and His love, and then the True Parents, the true family, the true tribe, the true nation, and even the true world. (4/15/80)

When you look at the nations of the world, the diplomats, who represent their nation, think that they should cheat other nations in order to perform their duties well. If this continues, what will happen to the world? The future of the world will be hopeless. The Unification Church teaches that an individual sacrifices himself or herself to protect his or her family, a family for his or her tribe, a tribe for his or her people, a people for its nation, a nation for the world, and the world for God. This thought is to protect God by sacrificing the world.

When that happens, will you perish? Will this branch perish? Will this trunk perish? No. Everyone will remain alive. Then what comes out of it? There will be prosperity, and the source of happiness will appear. That is our view in Unification Thought. That is the way we can achieve the unification of North Korea and South Korea. Otherwise, there is no other way of uniting the world. That is where Unification Thought stems from, and that is the reason why I am asking you to return to your family, your family to your tribe, and ultimately to your original root. Let us return to it as quickly as possible. (79-224)

This is one of the differences between other churches and our Unification Church. The Unification Church teaches that we should love our brothers and sisters as our own parents, and our tribe, our people, and our nation as our brothers and sisters. Even if we should abandon our own parents, we should love our own country. However, in order to love the world, we should be willing to abandon even our own country. Likewise, in order to love God, we should be willing to sacrifice the world. For the sake of something more distant and greater, we should be willing to sacrifice something that is closer to us and smaller, in order to find the path to true love. The is the main thought of the Unification Church. It is simple. Do you understand? [Yes.]

However, what is that thought? It is not Rev. Moon's. What is being said in America is not Rev. Moon's idea. It is originally from God and therefore God's. When we look at God, we can see that He is a being who loves the others more than Himself. By loving the others more than Himself, He desires to bring two people together so that He can create a greater scope of love through their oneness. That is the movement that God desires to cultivate. Since this is the essence of God's thought, God sends the one closest to Him to the world and sacrifices that person for the sake of all humanity. That is God's thought. (100-30)

What is the ideology of the Unification Church or Rev. Moon? Rev. Moon's ideology is not for the sake of a nation, but for the world. The purpose of the Republic of Korea is to love the world. Likewise, the purpose of Christian churches is to love Korea, and by building a bridge, to eventually love the world, and heaven and earth. Then, what should be done? The closest one should be sacrificed.

What is the ideology of God who has been toiling to restore this world until the present? In order to save the evil world and to save the pitiful and the poor, God has been leading a dispensation for salvation, by sacrificing the one closest to Him. (33-298)
