For further enlightenment into what Moon really teaches, the following quotations are being included. These quotations are from speeches which Moon has given to his followers:

"You know, for thirty years our movement has been delayed by the initial rejection I received when I first declared this message. Koreans deserve hell, so that nation must suffer. Christians all over the world deserve to decline, because they did not accept me." Master Speaks.

"We are tigers to shake the whole world. We are great personages to change the whole world. Our state is the whole world. The leading nation of the whole world is America and we must shake America first. Master Speaks.

"Until our mission with the Christian church is over, we must quote the Bible and use it to explain the Divine Principle. After we receive the inheritance of the Christian, we will be free to teach without the Bible." Master Speaks.

"I am a thinker. I am your brain."Master Speaks.

The material presented here on Moon is but a glimpse into the queer world of a man who yearns for power. Moon seeks political power. He has chosen to pursue this power through the use of religion. Moon has created a group which not only propagates preposterous heresies, but which also constitutes a very real threat to the freedom of thought of the individual.

The sharp contrast in Moon’s system is clearly seen in his rabid denunciation of communism - while he concurrently leads a very effective dictatorial organization. He is possessed with the illusion that someday all religions will be under his authority.

As Orthodox, we have never, and will never, recognize any one person as the head of the Church, except for Christ Himself. We follow the teachings handed down to us through the ages, The teachings’ which Jesus Christ told us to guard.

We condemn Moon’s teachings and pray that those deceived by him will find their way to repentance.

We think of the words of St. Paul and commend those who would follow Moon to read them: "Now I urge you, brethren, keep your eye on those who cause dissensions and hindrances contrary to the teaching which you learned, and turn away from them. For such men are slaves not of our Lord Jesus Christ but of their own appetites; and by their smooth and flattering speech they deceive the hearts of the unsuspecting." Romans 16:17,18.

CONCLUSION

The intent of this pamphlet, as stated previously, is to give the Orthodox reader a brief introduction to the major cults which are operating today. It is hoped that the Orthodox reader will find this publication useful as a quick reference guide as to the major differences between the faith which Christ taught and the false teachings of the cults.

The cults mentioned in this pamphlet are not Christian. They teach doctrines which distort the Truth of Christ. There are many other cults which are also having an impact on our society which were not covered in this work. The fact that many other groups were not listed in our look at certain groups does not mean that they are not cults. Among the various groups not covered, but which are still nonetheless considered cults, are the following groups:
