7. There Cannot be Birth Control in the Unification Church

1) The Complete Kingdom of Heaven Starts with Children Centering on God Adam and Eve connect to a vertical center. When you look at it like this, in order for Adam and Eve to be connected vertically, they are required to be like this, and they must not stop here.

This must be attached. But if there are no children this does not connect. Do you understand? So when you look at it in this point of view, this is the four-position foundation... Now, if you have no son, there will be no vertical standard. This is all lost. Vertical and horizontal standard will not be connected. This cannot be.

So when you see it, this point becomes Adam and Eve's wish and also God's wish. Okay, how about Eve? Adam and Eve could not stand in this position. A vertical person receives God's love and develops it horizontally, extends it horizontally! This is what a parent is. This is God's love, and this is parents' love. Vertical parents' love is God's love, and horizontal parents' love is your own parents' love. (pointing at the writing on the board) So, from God, Adam and Eve, love must be passed down. It must be passed down from God to Adam and Eve, and to the children, crossing three stages; parents' love, couple's love, children's love.

So where is the Kingdom of Heaven? The question is: From where does the Kingdom of Heaven start? Of course it starts from Adam and Eve, but precisely speaking it starts from the sons and daughters of Adam and Eve. So through them, the horizontal Kingdom of Heaven and vertical Kingdom of Heaven are completed. We see it this way.

If you were born in the world without the fall, you would surely be born as a child of some parents. Since the vertical Kingdom of Heaven is completed at the generation of the child, the Kingdom of Heaven develops for the first time when we become one with Heavenly Father centering upon our own parents.
