Heres a better chart:
| Aspect | Jesus (Christianity) | Sun Myung Moon (Unification Church) | Li Hongzhi (Falun Dafa / Gong) |
|--------|------------------------|--------------------------------------|----------------------------------|
| Claimed Identity | Son of God, Messiah, Savior of humanity | Second Messiah, "True Parent" of humanity | Enlightened being, moral/spiritual teacher from a higher realm |
| Mission | Save humanity through sacrifice and resurrection | Complete Jesus’ failed mission; create sinless humanity | Save people through moral cultivation and energy practice |
| View of Jesus | Central figure, divine, perfect | Incomplete messiah; Moon finishes what Jesus couldn’t | A lower-level enlightened being; Li claims a higher status |
| Source of Salvation | Faith in Jesus’ death and resurrection | Obedience to Moon and participation in his family system | Practicing Falun Dafa as taught by Li Hongzhi |
| Attitude Toward Other Religions | Christianity is the true way | Christianity was a step, but now outdated without Moon | Most religions are corrupt; only Falun Dafa is pure |
| Messiah Complex? | Fulfilled prophecies, but humility emphasized | Openly claimed he was the new messiah | Heavily implied he’s the only one who can save people |
| Behavior Toward Followers | Encouraged love, humility, service | Demanded loyalty; created hierarchical church structure | Encourages distance from "ordinary" people and mainstream society |
| Public Perception | Worshipped by billions; mainstream global religion | Viewed as cult by many, though has global reach | Viewed as cult-like, banned in China, mixed reputation elsewhere |
