Claim. Spiritual rebirth requires two spiritual parents — Jesus as spiritual True Father and the Holy Spirit as spiritual True Mother — because no child can be born of a single parent. Faith-and-Spirit alone is structurally insufficient.
Elaboration. Per dp-4-rebirth-and-trinity §4.1, DP rereads “you must be born anew” (3) as structural-parental claim, not metaphor. Unfallen Adam and Eve would have become True Parents producing sinless children; their fall made them evil parents. Rebirth without original-sin requires good parents — “parents who have original sin cannot give birth to good children… These parents must descend from Heaven.”
Jesus came as that heavenly True Father — “the last Adam” (45) and “Everlasting Father” — through whose resurrection “we have been born anew to a living hope” (3). But “a father alone cannot give birth. There must be a True Mother, as well as a True Father.” DP identifies the Holy Spirit as that True Mother.
Mechanism: “When we believe in Jesus as the Savior through the inspiration of the Holy Spirit, we receive the love of the spiritual True Parents, generated through the give and take between Jesus, the spiritual True Father, and the Holy Spirit, the spiritual True Mother. Through this love, new life is infused into us, and our spirits are reborn.”
The 1 Cor 15:45 “last Adam = life-giving spirit” link recasts the Pauline contrast as DP’s True-Father claim: Jesus’s spiritual paternity, via union with the Spirit, is the channel by which new spirits are born.
Engages evangelical born-again, Wesleyan new-birth, Reformed monergistic-regeneration: all three under-specify the parental structure rebirth requires.
