We, believers in the Rev. Sun Myung Moon as the Lord of the Second Advent and King of Kings, demand that the Family Federation for World Peace and Unification stop any action to trademark the Korean term "CHEON IL GUK", which translated into the English language means the One Heavenly Nation.

This term, coined by the Rev. Moon, has been incorporated into in the religious practices of the Sanctuary Church since its founding, and is widely used by Sanctuary Church families all over the world, a growing community of over 10,000 people.We find this attempt to trademark CHEON IL

GUK would be similar to a Christian Church launching a legal action to trademark the KINGDOM OF GOD, a term of broad common and historical use. Therefore, this attempt to legally trademark, and therefore limit the use of this now common and popularly used term, CHEON IL GUK, is a direct violation of our family's rights to the free exercise of our religion and thus is unconstitutional and cannot stand

We support the efforts by the Christ Kingdom Gospel Ministry to ensure that this term is not used for sectarian purposes and remains available for use by all believers in the teachings of Sun Myung Moon.

Portuguese version -

Nós, crentes no Rev. Sun Myung Moon como o Senhor do Segundo Aadvento e Rei dos Reis, exigimos que a Federação da família pela paz mundial e unificação parar de fazer uma registrada no termo "CHEON IL GUK", que traduzido para a língua Portugesa significa Uma Nação Celestial.

Este termo, criado pelo Rev. Moon, foi incorporado nas práticas religiosas da Igreja Santuário desde a sua fundação e é amplamente utilizado pelas famílias da Igreja santuário em todo o mundo, uma comunidade com mais de 10.000 pessoas no mundo hoje.

Este tentado de fazer uma marca registrada para as palavras CHEON IL GUK seria semelhante a uma igreja Christian lançar uma acção legal para registrar as palavras REINO DE DEUS, um termo comum usando amplamente na histórica do movimento cristao. Portanto, esta tentativa de registrar e, portanto, limitar o uso deste termo comum e popularmente usado termo, CHEON IL GUK, é uma violação direta dos direitos da nossa família, para o livre exercício da nossa religião e, portanto, é inconstitucional e não suporto

Apoiamos os esforços para assegurar que este termo não é usado para fins sectários e permanece disponível para uso por todos os fiéis nos ensinamentos de Sun Myung Moon e teamben do Ministério de Evangelho do Reino de Cristo.

The momentum behind this is undeniable. It is clear that our community will not stand by while our sacred terminology is restricted.

if they want reconciliation why they r selfish about the Cheon Il Guk for CIG means there is no wall between each other. If you are to become the owner of Cheon Il Guk there must be no wall.

This litergical term is currently in daily use by the Sanctuary Church and has been used by the members of that church for many years. To deny us the right to use this term is an infringement of our religious rights.

The word Kingdom of God is the same with Cheon Il Guk. It's a word no one can claim ownership because I am in Kenya and I use it to witness at my individual level. I believe it's my right to use it.

Trademarking this (Cheon Il Guk) is like trademarking the phrase, "Kingdom of Heaven". Or trademarking the colour "yellow". I have been using this phrase every day and will be really sad if some organisation mandates that I cannot use it without their permission.

Cheon Il Guk, or the Heavenly Nation, is God's nation and a nation for everyone. It would be against Christian belief and Rev. Moon's teachings to trademark this work. The FFWPUI has lost its sanity.

If this attempt to trademark CHEON IL GUK succeeds, will they also try to trademark "GOD?" It is shameful that the FFWPU claims it is promoting world peace while simultaneously taking legal action against anyone who disagrees with them around the world!

No one ask me to remove the ring with the Tongil logo I received from True Fsther, Rev. Sun Myung Moon on my Blessing day. No one.
