Jon Quinn: WHY ARE YOU SO MEAN?

WHY ARE YOU SO MEAN?

The main difference between Sanctuary and Federation is that one side is Religious Conservative and the other is Religious Liberal. The same division is going on in Christianity. Why? Because we are in the Last Days. God is on one side and Satan is on the other. There is no gray. Every person has a choice to make over who has the authority to change blood lineage – mother or son.

One of the differences between Conservatives and Liberals is their style of debate. Conservatives are logical; Liberals are emotional. Conservatives have reason, logic and common sense. They can even give scientific proof their values are practical and true. These things mean nothing to a Liberal. They won’t deal with facts. Liberals always accuse Conservatives of being mean. They see themselves as loving and caring. They have big hearts. This is where the term “Bleeding heart Liberals” comes from. They feel Conservatives are Neanderthals stuck in the past with their “traditional” values which were really values of hate for women, the poor and the environment.

Here is a perfect example of how Liberals can’t think clearly and quickly resort to their epithet of “mean”. A brother wrote these true words of logical truth on an Internet forum:

Replacing the name "Heavenly Father" by "Heavenly Parent(s)" was a clear rejection of True Father by Hak Ja Han.
She did not offer any substantial reasons or explanations for the sudden change. How could she?
Hak Ja Han's promotion of her fallen lineage and the creation of a new Theology teaching that she came as another Messiah on her own thru a sinless birth contradicts 100% True Father's words and the whole Biblical narrative.
Today, feminist theologians like Andrew Wilson are busy promoting a new worldview at Hak Ja Han's Family Fed international events.
Meanwhile, once again God has moved His lineage away from this desecration.”

A Federation sister responds saying Mother is true and everyone should obey her. A brother from Sanctuary retorts that to accept everything Hak Ja Han says “just because she is the one saying it, without any logic whatsoever but only based on our feelings and love towards her, is not right. It's actually pretty dumb.”

Another brother from Sanctuary tells a sister from Federation: “It is very clear in the Divine Principle and throughout True Father's words that the name of God is Heavenly Father. True Mother's words are judged by True Father's words. If you truly have faith in True Father, you need to speak out for what he said. Satan loves confusion. Read the DP again. It says clearly in black and white why we call God, our Father. You wrote:" we need to study and let the DP guide us the truth is there. " Then do it . Do not speak from both sides of your mouth. There is no grey area. If TF was here, this nonsense would not be taking place. … Although Mother did this, many members of the Family Fed can't force themselves to talk to God like this. All of the billions of people who have properly addressed God as our Heavenly Father will also never call Him something else.”

The sister gets defensive and says, “I have faith in TF and TM hence I believe in the TP we cannot have one without the other … that is so judgmental of you. I was expressing my sincerely held belief. Why are you so mean?”

Has this brother said anything “mean”? He is very measured and calm but firm. He then responds to her saying he is not mean: “You can't say on one end that we need to follow what the Divine Principle says and on the other end not to follow what it says. That is called RELATIVISM. True Father says in the DP that the name of God is FATHER. What is there to talk about? I am not being mean. I am just pointing out a contradiction in what you are saying. Why are we questioning month after month what TF said so clearly?”

There are those at the Federation who will never be able to see that this brother is not mean. Simply disagreeing with them makes you mean, nasty, vicious and heartless. Is it “mean” to call someone mean when they aren’t?
