DO GHOSTS EXIST?

Throughout the centuries opinions have been divided as to whether or not ghosts exist, and no definite conclusions have been firmly established at the present time. My own conclusion on this subject is that they do exist. I say this because I know they are real; nobody can deny something that has been proven to […]

DIVINE POSSESSION AFTER JOINING OOMOTO

After I became a member of the Oomoto religion, I tried as much as possible to increase my knowledge of faith and read Oomoto publications whenever I had the chance. In those days, the only sacred text available in the Oomoto faith were the prophetic writings of Oomoto’s founder, Nao Deguchi, so I, as well […]

A RELIGION THAT HELPS TO DEVELOP FULFILLED INDIVIDUALS

What is the purpose of religion? Primarily, religion was originated by the Love of God for the purpose of guiding unfortunate human beings to the fulfillment of true happiness. It is nothing other than that. As you know, everybody living in this world is doing his best to become happy, but however hard he may […]

NATURAL AND UNNATURAL DEATH

Death is the extinction of life that occurs when, like a tree that withers and dies, the physical being is no longer capable of living. The numerous causes of death can be grouped into two major categories: natural and unnatural. Natural death comes when the living being’s allotted spanof years has been exhausted. Unnatural death […]

MAN’S THREE SPIRITS

Man is often called a child of God and is also referred to as a temple of God. This is because man’s soul – the center of his being – is an individualized part of God which has come to the Earth with a mission assigned by Him, as stated before. This is man’s primary […]

SPIRITUAL CORD

Many people seem to be unfamiliar with the term “spiritual cord,” probably because the existence of the cord is not generally known. While the spiritual cord is invisible, being of exceedingly fine texture – finer than atmosphere – its role and influence in all phases of physical life are so great, it cannot be lightly […]

LIFE AND DEATH

Since ancient times, people have devoted more energy to the problem of death than to any other. Nothing is more terrifying than death, which puts an end to all happiness and hopes. Yet with the exception of certain special cases, the majority of deaths are caused, one might say inevitably, by sickness. Most deaths occurring […]

ADMONITIONS FROM ANCESTRAL SPIRITS

Because they sincerely hope for the happiness and prosperity of their descendants, ancestral spirits are ceaselessly sending them warnings to prevent their making mistakes and doing evil that runs contrary to their own well-being, and to help them avoid falling into negative ways. When their posterity left in this world are lured by evil forces […]

“DEPARTMENT STORE” CHURCH

In order to explain World Messianity in the easiest way, I might call it a :”department store” church. I know this does not sound suitable for a religious organization, but I think the term is the most apt for the nature of our work. I will explain why this is so. As I have always […]

A RELIGION WHICH MANIFESTS THE REALITY OF GOD

When we try to guide unbelievers to faith in God, we often experience complete rejection. Most such individuals say, “It is absolutely impossible for me to believe that any God or gods or other spiritual beings exist. Let them show themselves if they do.” Such people seem to think they are highly cultured individuals and […]

A WORLD WITHOUT ILLNESS, POVERTY AND CONFLICT

Most people regard a world without illness, poverty, and conflict as an unattainable ideal; but our movement is not afraid to say that it believes firmly in its realization. The fundamental way to create such a world is to eliminate illness. People who become ill must spend money on treatment and may be forced to […]

THE EXISTENCE OF THE SPIRITUAL WORLD

For what purpose are we sent into this world? We must first have the answer to this question if we are to find happiness and a sense of fulfillment in life. The answer is that God created human beings in order that He might establish an ideal world in fulfillmem of His Plan for this […]

FULLFIMENT OF PROPHECY OF THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN

I believe that in the Bible there are three especially important prophecies to be noted. These are: a final judgment, the kingdom of heaven at hand, and the second coming of Christ. Of the three, the judgment will be directly performed by God when He is ready, and the second coming of Christ will be […]

JUDGEMENT IN THE SPIRITUAL WORLD

A human being is supposed to do his best for the benefit of human society while he is in this world by fulfilling the mission given to him by God. However, most people perceive only the outward appearance of things and therefore repeatedly commit negative acts without realizing they are doing so. For this reason, […]

THE UNKNOWN WORLD

The world in which we live and breathe is a material one, and is what could be called the world of first dimension. Death transfers us to the spiritual realm, or the world of second dimension, whose nature is unknown to the human mind. Since the spiritual world is invisible and beyond human conception, it […]

A FAITH THAT TRANSCENDS RELIGION

The goal of our church – the establishment of Paradise on Earth, a world free from disease, poverty and conflict – probably sounds to most people like a daydream, the idle fancy of fools. lt is true that Jesus said, “The kingdom of heaven is at hand,” but he did not say, “I am going […]

JUVENILE DELINQUENCY

The problem of juvenile delinquency has recently become a matter of great public concern. However, it seems that as yet no appropriate solution to this problem has been found. All the various ideas we hear today as to preventive measures regrettably stress only minor details, with not one that touches the core of the matter. […]

DAIJO RELIGION

It is a well known fact that all religions (especially Buddhism) have divisions of both Daijo and of Shojo, but it seems to me that the meaning of these has not been thoroughly understood up to now, so I am going to give my viewpoint. Daijo expresses the pattern of Nature. This includes all the […]

A LIVING RELIGION

You may wonder what I mean when I say there are living religions and dead religions. A living religion is one which is in close touch with material life and a dead religion is its opposite. Of the numerous religions in existence, those which are perfectly fitted to everyday living are few and far between, […]

WHAT IS TRUE SALVATION

Today, the pet phrase of the critics toward us is, “It is wrong for this Church to be engaged in healing, in spite of the fact that it is a religion.” When we think deeply about this, we realize that nothing is more illogical. These critics must have a stereotyped idea that religions should offer […]
