Parents having tens of thousands of children???

.

Sun Myung Moon maintains that he restored the position of the first Adam. He and his wife would stand as the new 'True Parents' of all mankind. They claim to have restored the positions of the first Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden.

They also speak about the 'true love' in them, coming from God, in contrajunction to 'false love' or self-centered love, coming from Satan. Sun Myung Moon and his wife would together be the channels of true love, passing on that love from God to all their children and even all of mankind.

Now let me ask some questions.

If Sun Myung Moon had to restore the position of first Adam, would he then not have had to build a family like Adam? Adam and Eve being the first ancestors of mankind, could have had a family of maybe 12 children. We cannot imagine that Eve could have given birth to many thousands of children, like Mr. Moon and Mrs. Moon, who claim that the tens of thousands of couples Mr. Moon matched and married and blessed with their love all are their children.

Of course, Mr. Moon would reply that we are living in a time of restoration, that he pays all the extra indemnity in order that he can have so many children. The exceptionality of the love of Rev. Moon (did you notice that he hardly ever speaks about his wife paying a similar amount of indemnity?) would make it possible that he and his wife as true parents could have so many true children.

But could any human being however exceptional in love and wisdom get to know so many children? Is love not something that must be given personally? How can his presumed children feel that he loves them in a personal way when he doesn't even know the names of his many children? He hasn't even one time talked to a majority of his own 'children.'

Because Mr. Moon and his wife are the parents, members of the Unification Church call each other 'brothers and sisters.' Hmmm. How could people be real brothers and sisters if they never have met each other? You can only be brothers and sisters when you have the same parents and the concept has only meaning when you really exchange brotherly and sisterly love, in a real family, not a fake family like Moon's with his tens of thousands of children.

Would Mr. Moon's task not have been to really restore Adam's position? And would he not have done better to take really good care of his own children, giving them the love they needed and deserved? Of course, some more people in archangel's position would also have been there, to complement the restoration of the original family of Adam.

In that case, Moon could really have become the first father of mankind, and his children, growing up in love that really came from God, could have learned from him directly and they could have done what he did and passed all this on to new generations.

But in that scenario Moon would not have been able to become the 'Emperor of the Universe' or the 'King of the World.' Just like once Jacob did, he would have needed to wait for his family and tribe to grow over the centuries until it had become a nation of Israel. I imagine that Mr. Moon was too impatient or too greedy to wait so long for the grandiose results he aspired.
