The Divine Principle is the main theological textbook of the (A Christian church (with some Buddhist elements) founded in 1954 by Sun Myung Moon and known for staging mass weddings and other communal activities) Unification Church, held to have the status of scripture by members of the movement.
The first written text was handwritten by Won Pil Kim, the first president of the Unification Church of Korea, as dictated by Moon (who also sharpened the pencils Kim used) and then written out in detail by a local middle school girl (who was not actually a member of the Unification Church).
The term Divine Principle is a poor translation of Unification Principle (or Tongil Wolly).

Divine guidance sometimes seems to be contrary to the law, especially when the law is interpreted hypocritically or legalistically.
A good example of the principle of divine guidance is in Jesus' judgement of the adulteress in John 8:1-11.

 Divine Principle and the Second Advent
Divine Principle is the 536-page “Bible”; of the Unification Church, consisting of the revelation which Sun Myung Moon has transcribed for his followers and constituting the theological basis of the movement.
Despite the bizarre impression which Divine Principle leaves with a Christian reader, its claim to being “based upon Christian beliefs and ideology” is accurate.
Divine Principle often sounds as though it is expounding a historical-critical approach to the Bible, but its own exegesis alternates between a more-than-strict literalism and an unfettered allegorizing.

The Critique's claim that Divine Principle limits Jesus role to fulfilling the Messianic expectation of the Israelites is blatantly false.
Divine Principle does, in fact, refer to "new truth" brought by Sun Myung Moon in the form of "a revelation from God Himself," and it cautions against fundamentalism by explaining that the "Biblical words are a means of expressing the truth and not the truth itself." (pp.
Divine Principle disputes some interpretations of the Bible which are common among Christians, but it consistently regards the Bible itself as normative and authoritative.

Divine Principle uses the concept of give and take to express one dimension of what is missing in the experience of modern secular man. The Principle explains that, for lack of proper give and take, we are missing the core relationships for which we were created.
Divine Principle proceeds to an even higher goal, transcending the individualism of the traditional mystic and embracing the potential of the family.
Divine Principle explains that, beginning with the tragic separation of humankind from its Creator, God has sought to restore men and women to their original state, no longer crippled by the catastrophic events involving the first human couple.

If we compare God as Principle with the principle of mathematics it is because in so doing we may more closely recognize the actuality and operation of God.
In Him we live, that is the principle of life; in Him we move, that is the principle of power; in Him we have our being; that is the principle of Spirit; all operating under laws as immutable as the law of mathematics.
The Divine Principle is self-manifesting in Law, and as such can be and is in all things created and uncreated.

Divine Principle says that the removal of Original Sin is the first and most fundamental step in the process of restoration and in the process of our perfection.
Likewise Divine Principle claims that religious ideas and beliefs must be scientifically demonstrated in order to get modern man to believe in and act on these religious notions.
Besides the logic of this passage being quite dubious, Divine Principle asserts that there is something, some "element" called original sin that parents pass on to their children thus making their children "sinful" form their very birth.

 DIVINE PRINCIPLE STUDY - Unification News 6/2002
While Divine Principle recognizes that the polarity of internal character/external form permeates all the created universe, it nevertheless affirms that the ultimate inner/outer relationship is that existing between the Creator and His creation.
Since people and all things are composed of two sets of dual characteristics, character and form, and masculinity and femininity, Divine Principle argues that God Himself, the Source of all things, must also possess both internal and external dimensions and the qualities of masculinity and femininity.
Man and woman stand on a ladder of polarity which is connected to every level of creation--from humankind to animals, to plants, to the protons and electrons at the base of the realm of matter.

That Eternal Feminine Principle is Isis, Mary, Tonantzin, Cybele, Rhea, Adonia, Insoberta, etc. If in the mere physical world we have a father and a mother, in the most profound part of our Being we also have our Father who is in Secret and our Divine Mother Kundalini.
The fact that the Divine Mother exists individually within each human being was not taught exoterically to the masses, but was only taught in secret to initiates of mystery schools throughout the world.
The Divine Mother, Arcane #3 is the Particular Mother of each of us, the mother of our Being that should trample the moon so that the 12 stars, the 12 faculties shine over her head.

 Origen of Alexandria [Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy]
In this work Origen establishes his main doctrines, including that of the Holy Trinity (based upon standard Middle Platonic triadic emanation schemas); the pre-existence and fall of souls; multiple ages and transmigration of souls; and the eventual restoration of all souls to a state of dynamic perfection in proximity to the godhead.
The third and last principle of the divine triad is the Holy Spirit, who "proceeds from the Son and is related to Him as the Son is related to the Father" (A. Tripolitis 1978, p.
Each soul engages uniquely with God in contemplating divine mysteries according to its innate ability, and this engagement persists for all eternity, for the mysteries of the godhead are inexhaustible, as is the enthusiastic application of the souls' intellectual ability.

Thus in Divine Science to speak of God as Principle, a cold, abstract, mathematical term to apply to this warm and pulsating Presence which we had been taught to speak of as God in the past.
In order to have one God scientifically, we must have divine Principle which knows no change, which sendeth no evil into the experience of man, which does not send sickness, nor poverty, pain nor perplexity; which is always the same, sending forth the qualities of its own nature.
In Divine Science we understand this requirement of the Psalmist, "magnify the Lord," to mean that you should make God, this Divine Principle, so big that there is no room in the universe for anything but God, and so evil is non-existent; no matter how real it seems to be.

 Barrow and Tipler on the Anthropic Principle vs. Divine Design
Barrow and Tipler's attempt to stave off the inference to divine design by appealing to the Weak Anthropic Principle is demonstrably logically fallacious unless one conjoins to it the metaphysical hypothesis of a World Ensemble.
In their massive study The Anthropic Cosmological Principle, [1986]{1} John Barrow and Frank Tipler provide the most comprehensive analysis to date of the so-called Anthropic Principle and its relation to the classic teleological argument for a Divine Designer of the cosmos.
According to their analysis, the Anthropic Principle evolved out of the traditional design argument for God's existence, particularly one version of that argument, the eutaxiological version, which was based on the presence of discernable order and mutual harmony in nature in abstraction from any anthropocentric purpose being in view.

 Jews and Judaism in Rev Moon's Divine Principle
Whether he is discussing the "Israelites" of the Hebrew Bible or the "Jews" as referred to in writings of the New Testament period, Rev. Moon portrays their behavior as reprobate, their intentions as evil (often diabolical), and their religious mission as eclipsed.
In similar fashion, Divine Principle records some 65 specific references to the attitudes and behavior of the Jewish people towards Jesus and their role in his crucifixion -- again, every one hostile and anti-Jewish.
Moon's Divine Principle is a feculent breeding-ground for fostering anti-Semitism.

Now, even those (of the heretics) who are of a more serious turn in regard of the Divinity, and have derived their systems of speculation from the Greeks, must stand convicted (of these charges).

His case for (i) misconstrues the causal principle, appeals to false analogies of ex nihilo creation, fails to show how the origin of the universe ex nihilo is naturally plausible, and reduces to triviality by construing causality as predictability in principle.
Grunbaum's argument that the causal principle cannot be applied to the origin of the universe rests on a pseudo-dilemma, since the cause could act neither before nor after t=0, but at t=0.
A promising argument for divine timelessness is that temporal life is possessed only moment by moment, which is incompatible with the existence of a perfect being.
