Sun Myung Moon

Sun Myung Moon is a Korean religious leader and founder of the so called Unification Church. He was born in a very large family with 13 children. His father's name was Kyung-yoo Moon, and his mother's Kyung-gye Kim. He was raised according to Confucianism, but whole family converted later to Christianity and joined Presbyterian Church. He received very good education in Korea and Japan where he studied electrical engineering. At that time he started to study the Bible by himself, but this led him to many misinterpretations. After the World War II he returned to Korea and started preaching. He was sentenced two times, because of his preaching. First time in 1946. and then again in 1948. and he was given a five year sentence in a labor camp. He managed to survive 34 months until UN troops advanced to the camp so that the guards fled.

In 1954 he founded Holy Spirit Association for the Unification of World Christianity (known as Unification Church). He is also the author of Divine Principle which is considered as the most important writing in Unification Church.

Many of his teachings are false interpretations of the Bible, and his statements show that he doesn't preach Christianity. I will bring few of his statements:

"Am I foolish and insignificant or am I great? I gave all the individuals in the world cause to kneel down in front of me." (Rev. Moon, Today's World, March 1995 p.6) -Not only that there is no need to kneel in front of Sun Myung Moon, but it's actually a sin against the first commandment, because Moon is just an ordinary man. He is not the Messiah, as he claims to be, because Jesus Christ is the only Messiah until the end of the World.

"The whole world is in my hand, and I will conquer and subjugate the world." (Sun Myung Moon, Master Speaks, 5/17/73) - Statements like this show that he has enormous political pretensions.

In his teachings Moon claims to be without sin, and he said many times that he is greater then Jesus. This is what he taught: "This means that the failures of Adam and of Jesus Christ have been restored by the appearance of True Parents." (Rev. Moon, Today's World, January, 1995, p.8) - Jesus Christ is the only Son of God, and the only Messiah and he was unable to create any failures. This pretentious teachings of him and his wife being the True Parents are ridiculous.

"No matter how difficult your situation may be you have to follow the Lord of the Second Advent completely." (Sun Myung Moon, Today's World, August, 1996, p. 13) - Moon is not God and don't follow him. His statements are lies and they can really misguide people. The fact that he suffered doesn't mean that he suffered for Christ. He is not preaching Christianity but he is preaching himself.

"A member must say that he is a member of the Unification Church and that he is the follower of Sun Myung Moon. If he doesn't have the courage to say it, he is not worthy of me." - Moon is really not worthy to follow, and you don't have to fear him at all.
