1) Our Position God is our Parent. Then, why did He create us? God's creation of humankind started from the place participating in love. The creation of humans started in God's mind. They were to grow up in God's bosom of love, become mature in God's bosom, and form the family which can connect with the love of the world. Through that, they would return to God's bosom of love as mature persons. This is the way to live. Due to the fall, this was fundamentally destroyed. The relationship between God and humankind was completely severed. No matter how people try to return to God, they cannot. Furthermore, with God it is the same. Such a big gap was made. The wall and boundary line were made. What kind of wall is it? That wall prevents humans from going to their Parent, God. What is that wall? This is the problem. That wall, which even God could not handle, must be raised as the most important problem for religious people. That wall divided the individual's mind and body. That wall, with various historical contents, also came between husbands and wives. That wall was made in the family, tribe, people, nation, world, and between the spirit world and world of earth. That wall was made between heaven and hell. Although God dwells in the glorious place called heaven, without removing that wall, humans on earth can never go over the boundary line surrounding it. This is the tragedy of human life on earth. How can we overcome this tragedy? Despite the fact that humans are meant to live attending God as their Parent and be led by Him, people don't even know if God exists. People came to radically insist that God does not exist. Furthermore, they proclaimed that God is dead. You are living in this kind of tragic environment that is demanding, "Let's remove God from human society!" Who made such a world-God or humans? That is the problem. This is not what humans want. Then, who made it? Who raised this environment? (135-267)
