I have been reflecting about what has happened to FFWPU members; and how they could just forfeit everything they believed in before.
After praying about it, I realized it's based in two things (perhaps more, but that's how it boiled down in my reflection with God in prayer).
First, they don't really understand that a God of true love is also a God of order and Principle. They equate God's way with empathy acceptance and congeniality first; but forget that true love must also be principled. In other words, they don't discern false love and true love.
Of course, true love also includes compassion, forgiveness, and empathy; but it's not genuine if it's only human-centered and not centered on God. I really appreciate Hyung Jin Nim's last service; because it focused on a personal relationship with God (this is so crucial). Freedom comes from God; and free will is a prerequisite for true love.
Second, they don't understand their own value; and the risk of losing acceptance is too hard for them to stomach. Therefore, even subconsciously, they abandon their conscience, in order to fit in and be part of the in-crowd.
I think this abandonment of themselves (and God); and their most cherished values, parallels what we are seeing in America. If you stand for truth, which many Christians do, you are labeled as a bigot and a hater.
The reality is that true compassion, mercy, peace, and love, is principled. Although, the FFWPU judges the SC, it is actually just a projection of what is in their own heart.
I forgive the FFWPU people, who once considered my family as their friends; but who are now too afraid to even talk to us. It's actually a blessing; because I have awakened to who are really my true friends, and who the fake people are.
God Bless!
