Concerning the title of "Messiah" the Unification teaching affirms the
biblical concept of the Hebrew term for "Messiah" , Messias meaning
"anointed one". Unification teaching affirms that Rev. Moon has received
the anointing of Jesus and stands in a messianic role as "True Parents."
Unification teaching also affirms that the "anointing" or messianic role
is also conveyed to other pastors and leaders who, if called by God, take
up the cross and follow Jesus. Rev. Michael Jenkins

Excuse me Gordon, I can't see any denial of the Messiah-ship of Rev.Moon
in the above, care to point out to me what part of: Unification teaching
affirms that Rev. Moon has received the anointing of Jesus and stands in
a messianic role as "True Parents." you see as *denying the Messiah-ship
of Rev.Moon by Rev.Jenkins?
Well it might be true that the DP have a different view about the Christ
(namely Jesus being God) but the messianic concept of the Messiah in the
DP is much closer to it's Jewish origin, namely that a *human person* can
be *anointed* to be the Messiah...
Again show me where this denial is, I guess our dear older brother
Rob(r)(b)oy pulled your leg and the shoe hasn't dropped for you yet...
I knew a secular guy in the 1970's too, to whom I witnessed and he told
me that he wasn't interested in *any* religion at all, not even
something new like Jesus should have married....

so the question remains:
Will our critics here hear from the *final* Judge,
well done
or
*depart* from me you *evil-doer*
???

It was one of those novels that is so stunningly awful that
I actually read the entire thing, mesmerized by the sustained
level of terribleness. Adequate words fail me.
