what is the Third Adam in the understanding of the Unification Church? How will God`s purpose be fulfilled?

With the official name of The Holy Spirit Association for the Unification of World Christianity , the Unification Church was founded by Rev . Sun Myung Moon in 1954 . By 1959 , the church has already expanded to America where its international headquarter has been established . At present , the church claims that the number of Unificationists reach three million in more than a hundred countries

At the age of 16 , Moon asserted that Jesus Christ appeared to him on Easter morning . Christ instructed him to finish the task Christ has started , that is , to establish

the kingdom of heaven on earth . He urges all religions to unify their beliefs so as to attain God 's will

However , Moon 's character has been questioned as well as the practices of the Unification Church . Even before establishing the Unification Church , Moon has already been accused of immoral practices . He urged the female members of his organization to have sex with him so that they would be cleansed of the influence of Satan . He was arrested for this act but was released at the end of the Korean War . In the United States he was largely criticized for his recruitment and leadership style , as well as his ways of raising fund . Furthermore , he was convicted of tax evasion and served a prison term . Because of the free labor of his followers , Moon has a built a multimillion-dollar empire , with a number of businesses such as manufacturing , banking , publishing , pharmaceutical companies , and others . He recruited U .S . military officers by offering them business deals and political donations . From his religious power he believes that he would be able to establish a government that would rule the world

He believed that Adam and Eve were supposed to have a brother-sister relationship until perfection is achieved . After that , the two would have to be married and bear a child , starting the kingdom of God . This promotes the belief that the fall was a sin sexual in nature . To rinse out this sin , God gave Christ the mission to marry and to have perfect children . Unfortunately , Christ was not able to complete this earthly mission because of his death . Thus , Moon proclaims that a third Adam is needed to complete both spiritual and physical salvation

This third Adam would complete what Christ has been sent for to do that is , to produce sinless children . The Unification Church believes that Moon is the third Adam who would form a perfect family thus , his children are all sinless . This perfection would extend to members of the church by complete obedience to him . Moreover , an individual would also be salvaged by paying indemnity through fasting , recruiting fund-raising , etc

Furthermore , Moon belied the concept of trinity in the bible . Rather he postulates that the first trinity is composed of...
