Divine Principle: The New Revelation of Rev. Moon: Did Free Will lead to the Fall of Adam and Eve: WAS THE FALL BECAUSE OF THE FREE WILL

Did Free Will lead to the Fall of Adam and Eve

WAS THE FALL BECAUSE OF THE FREE WILL!

By Y.UTS

For 2000 years Christians believed that the Fall of Adam and Eve happened because God gave us free will. The Principle, however, clarifies that the Fall would never have had happened if their free will was not taken away.

"It cannot be that freedom caused the human Fall." (because) "Free actions generated by free will bring about only good results." DP - Tha Fall of Man

The Divine Principle also explains that in the fallen, unprincipled state that we are now, we have no freedom:

"In truth, human beings lost their freedom as a result of the Fall." (and) "There is no freedom outside the Principle." DP - Tha Fall of Man

Many would say that we still have a choice. Do we!? As studies show, our subconscious decides. We just think we have a choice, while our subconscious memories are pushing us what to choose, without our awareness. So it depends on how much our lineage is on God's or Satan's side, I guess, to where the choice will end. We don's see the spiritual forces that work on our subconscious mind. So how can our Original Mind be free?
"Freedom pursues accomplishments that bring joy to God," DP explains, and "The freedom of a true person never deviates from the Principle". Why then humans do evil? A more powerful force pushed our first ancestors away from the Principle, away from the free will of their original mind. We now know, this was the premature sexual love, in which Lucifer seduced them.

Lucifer used the much stronger power of the unprincipled love to push God's children off track. Humanity lost its free will and got trapped under Satan's control. As DP explains, outside of the Principle we are not free. Even if you want to get out... no chance... he will not let you go. No freedom there. We are not free:

"There is no freedom outside the Principle... the mind of an original, sinless person cannot operate outside of God's Word, that is, the Principle, it will never express free will or generate free action apart from the Principle. Undoubtedly, the freedom of a true person never deviates from the Principle... freedom pursues accomplishments that bring joy to God. Free actions generated by free will bring about only good results. Therefore, it cannot be that freedom caused the human Fall. " DP - Tha Fall of Man

That was God's unbearable pain. Even if his children wanted to come back to him, they were not free to do that.

"Due to the Fall, human beings became ignorant of God and His Heart. This ignorance has rendered the human will incapable of striving toward goals which are pleasing to God." DP - Tha Fall of Man

One person had to win over Satan and restore that freedom. That's the mission of the Messiah. But work is not done until we all learn his model and get our freedom too.

Jesus was victorious on an individual level, to get out of Satan's dominion. But because he was rejected, no one could follow his example. No one could inherit that victory.

That's why, Jesus promised that in the end, one will be victorious and pure like him. And he himself will give to that person the same mission, as he received from his Father; The Messianic Mission, to save the world.

This will be the new child from Revelation 12:5, with the "new name", Revelations talks about in Chapter 19. Read, Second Coming Through Birth

"First, there is no freedom outside the Principle. Freedom requires both free will and the free actions pursuant to that will." DP - Tha Fall of Man

Freedom and the Human Fall

To summarize, freedom cannot exist outside the Principle. Freedom is accompanied by the responsibility laid out in the Principle, and freedom pursues accomplishments that bring joy to God. Free actions generated by free will bring about only good results. Therefore, it cannot be that freedom caused the human Fall. It is written, "where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom."[63] This freedom is the freedom of the original mind.

As long as Adam and Eve were bound by God's warning not to eat of the fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, they should have kept this commandment by their free will and without God's intervention. Certainly, the freedom of their original mind, which is inherently responsible and seeks the good, was prompting them to obey it. When Eve was about to deviate from the Principle, the freedom of her original mind aroused fear and foreboding in her in an attempt to prevent her from deviating. Ever since the Fall, this freedom of the original mind has been working to bring people back to God. Working in this way, freedom could not possibly have caused human beings to fall. Rather, the human Fall was caused by the stronger power of unprincipled love, which overwhelmed the freedom of the original mind.

In truth, human beings lost their freedom as a result of the Fall. Yet even fallen people possess intact a seed of their original nature which seeks freedom, and this makes it possible for God to carry on the providence to restore it. With the progress of history, people have been ever more zealously aspiring for freedom, even at the cost of their lives. This is evidence that we are in the process of restoring our freedom, long lost due to Satan. The purpose of our search for freedom is to facilitate the accomplishment of our God-given responsibility, which is essential for fulfilling our purpose of creation. Read the full text...
