(note: The church is the Unification Church, not what I was calling the Universalist Church. The Religion Department is called the Faith Office that Paula leads.)
"We believe the Second Coming will not be on the clouds, and is more than an event in the heart or in the spirit. To fully repair our lost relationship with God, Christ must come in the flesh, on the earth. We believe the Second Coming is the couple of Rev. Sun Myung Moon and Dr. Hak Ja Han Moon."

The Unification Church aka "Moonies" are uber, uber rich, and they finance a lot of stuff on the religious right in the United States, and all over the world, because they are on a mission to spread their faith-that Christ shouldn't have died, ("the cross was a failure" Dr. Moon said), and Mother and Father Moon are saving the world with their pluralistic religion. They are the "True Parents" of the earth.
The Moonies own the Washington Times which is also common knowledge, but no one seems to care. History shows a long line of Conservative Presidents and Congressmen who get paid big bucks to show up at Unification Church events thus endorsing their cultish methods and doctrines. This includes DJT and "Pastor" Paula White who prayed a prayer of blessing over Mother Moon thanking this cult leader for all of her work. (I have posted links below. She has gone to the prayer meeting and bowed to Mother Moon more than once.)
I wonder what the Lord thinks about her supporting and endorsing a world-wide evangelistic movement that denies the cross of Christ given she calls herself a pastor, and leads church, and now, a nation? Shouldn't we be interested in this as believers who want to shine the gospel to the nations?
Maybe we should examine the nature of the relationship as well as how it may be playing out in the United States as Trump works to bring religion back with White leading the way. Evidently, there is a very warm and prosperous relationship between the conservatives in the US and the ultra-wealthy Moonie cult as together, they both are united against communism, abortion, the disintegration of the family, and both want to restore "religion" to the world.
To the Moonies, religion means all gods, Allah, Budda, Jesus, whatever. The problem is that this cult is, well, a heretical cult that believes that Mother Moon's deceased husband was the second coming of Christ Jesus, and that Jesus was not supposed to be crucified (it wasn't God's plan), and that they are finishing the job by bringing "heaven to earth" among other weird practices that involve a lot of money and claims of purifying the soul, kind of like selling Catholic indulgences. Many have left this dangerous cult and are speaking out about the destruction it caused them in their lives, but for some reason the Conservative Right just does not care. Wonder why. Could it be money? Or even worse, could it be that they agree with their doctrines?
Granted, they support causes that we support as well, but does that make is good and profitable in the eyes of God to join with a religious group that had denied, perverted, and distorted the cross? Seems that would not be considered righteous in the eyes of God, who hates lying, deception, greed, and above all, taking his name in vain and false doctrines about Jesus.
Is it really ok for our President and his pastor and leader of our Religion Department, to bless and support this cult leader? She blessed her teachings and aligned with her beliefs in that blessing instead of rebuking them. Is it ok to join with this cult and bless them at the expense of the very gospel of Jesus Christ itself? They mean to spread their religion as the means of bringing heaven to earth, and that religion denies Jesus Christ.
Most of us have never heard about any of this, including myself until just this week. I keep hearing the echoes of the German people saying, "We didn't know about the Jews" and I believe them. I believed my friend's German parents who were loyal little soldiers in the Hitler's youth when they told me that they truly believed that they were being good citizens and helping their country. Erika would tell me, in her thick German accent, "I believed in Hitler. We all believed in Hitler."
So when the information comes to light, we have a choice, and I know it's hard, because knowing the truth prompts a crisis. Will we look the other way, or keep our eyes open and look to see what is really going on. Sometimes it seems like the church is jumping off the MAGA cliff without looking to see where they are headed. We have our hand in Trump's hand and our eyes squeezed tightly shut, unless it means looking at the other side's wickedness-then we have a lot to say. Speaking of which, I am growing weary of hearing about Biden's mistakes. Let's move on! But we have our own sins, and it is every bit as dark and destructive. Has Trump, and maybe even Ms. White, done some good? Of course, but what con artist doesn't worm his way in by doing good? Every single one of them.
At minimum, it deserves a firm, public rebuke from Christian leaders, although with the way thing are going, are there any left? Why not? Why not speak against Trump? We certainly feel comfortable decrying the "left" and the democratic policies, as we should, but about the "right". Nothing. And yet, it is quite possible that we may be coming into agreement with a movement distorting the very gospel itself, and this puts us all in a very precarious position.
Our God is jealous for His name, and for our Redeemer and the purity of the gospel. What does He think about Paula showing up and bowing to Mother Moon? (I believe that this happened in 2019). What does he think about our designated anointed man of the hour going to their prayer meetings to speak for a pretty penny? Trump supports them. But God has chosen this man, the prophets say! Oh please, for the glory of His name, keep God's name out of it! False prophets who are leading God's people, His own, into sin and compromise, simply by NOT saying anything. Lord, help us. Give us all strength Lord. We all need your refining, and we ask for it. Don't leave us as we are Father. He won't.
I am just starting to explore this story, but I feel that it is critical. I had a dream in 2020 in which I saw Paula White, and I heard this: "This is Jezebel" from Revelation 2 that teaches doctrines of demons ("food sacrificed to idols") as well as fornication. Turns out that Paula and her second husband taught their congregation that if a man likes porn, his wife should watch it with him. That is a true doctrine of demons. Now that she heads up an important governmental department, that dream is taking on more significance. I am paying attention, Lord.
This is the woman leading the MAGA movement's religious restoration program. The ministry of righteousness is only by the Holy Spirit, anything else is the ministry of death (2 Cor 3). Houston, I think we have a problem.
Here are some videos. I am just getting going, so you can expect more info as I uncover it, but this feels really, really big to me.
1. A brief article about the ties between the GOP and the Moonies. Dr. Moon, who died around 2012, convinced many American pastors to remove the cross from their church seeing that it wasn't effective. Those words are very, very hard to even repeat, and I apologize for it-but it's important to know, I think.

2. This video is about the Sanctuary church run by the son of the "original father" Moon who is bringing heaven to earth with his "rod of iron." The Rod of Iron is what Christ brings to the world, and Dr. Moon's son, and leader of this part of the church in the U.S., believes it is a gun. They apparently broke off from the Unification Church but they too are deeply connected to MAGA movement in particular. Read the Longest Con for more history on these movements (Moral Majority, Christian Coalition etc.). These seeds of greed and religious pluralism have been growing beneath the ground for a long time, and it seems that they are about to bloom.

6. Paula White blessing Mother Moon:
“I want to take a moment and honor as well as encourage Mother Moon for her great work as a spiritual leader who loves the Lord and seeks to carry out and to comfort the heart of God in all the areas of conflict in the world,” White said during her remarks at the Cheongshim World Peace Center in Gapyeong-gun, about an hour from the capital Seoul.-
"You see, the Lord is very determined to bring in His harvest and He will not be stopped,” she said at one point. “As He has put this assignment in the heart of Mother Moon and she, as a beacon of light, has brought forth the clarion call to all of us, may our prayer be ‘Your will be done in the earth as it is in heaven.’”
-Paula White
Now, unless Mother Moon has repented and been delivered from her cult false religion and practices, Paula is sanctioning a Christ-denying cult leader's "assignment". What Jesus does Paula worship anyways? I have heard her say horrible things, and from the same mouth I have heard the cross declared, just in a brief look at her preaching. It's mixture. It's this, and it's that...it's all good for Paula.
