You realize, of course, that Joe Smith considers methodism just another of the deceived denominations of "quasi-christianity."

Excerpt from Part 3: The Hidden Dimention in History from the official teachings of the Unification Church found at www.unification.org:

The Restoration of Human Kind

...The mystery of why God did not intervene to prevent the fall is connected with the principle of human freedom. God gave humankind the gift of freedom so that we can respond to Him in love. Freedom brings with it responsibility. God gave human beings a portion of responsibility which is theirs alone to fulfill.

Some people think that God controls human history. But, in fact, progress in human history is dependent upon us fulfilling our portion of responsibility. God's grace is forever beckoning; God's heart longs to save all His children. But as it is we who fell away from God, there is a certain restitution which is ours alone to make...
