Short Introduction - Divine Principle Law of Indemnity v1.0 — de Paulis

Why did restoration through indemnity come about? For what purpose did it appear after the Fall occurred?

If there were no portion of responsibility, then there would be no need for the term “restoration through indemnity.”

In what position did human beings fall? They fell during the course of fulfilling their portion of responsibility.

At that time, human beings handed over the realm of the portion of responsibility to Satan. It was taken by Satan.

Therefore, we must regain the realm of the portion of responsibility. 1986.3.16 CSG Book 8 5:1

My only concern is that the spirit world is such that once you go you can never come back here. Once you have gone there, you cannot return. In that world, if you come to know things about cleaning your spirit and then try to resolve your issues, it will take billions of years. In that place there is no way to clean up such things.

In this physical world, however, there are many difficulties and ups and downs, aren’t there? Even in one day you encounter a variety of troubles, and the more troubles you meet, the more skin you can shed, like a snake.

On the other hand, in the next world, the spirit world, though there is the stimulus of love, there is no indemnity that can rid you of your sins, so it takes countless eons to do that. /SMM 1993.01.03

To restore human beings, God works to cut off Satan’s influence. For this, we must have the original sin removed.

This is required in order for us to become perfect incarnations of the Word (p. 181).

Foundation for the Messiah

Foundation of Substance

Foundation of Faith

The foundation for the Messiah is laid when we establish the foundation of substance on the basis of the foundation of faith (p. 181).

Foundation for the Messiah

Foundation of Substance

Central figure Foundation of Faith Object for the condition Numerical period of indemnity In order to restore the foundation of faith, first there must be a central figure. Second, an object for the condition must be offered. Third, a numerical period of indemnity must be completed (p. 180).

Foundation for the Messiah

Foundation Indemnity condition of Substance to remove fallen nature

Central figure Foundation of Faith Object for the condition Numerical period of indemnity In order to lay the foundation of substance, a fallen person must make the indemnity condition to remove the fallen nature (p. 181).

A robber killed the original father and raped the mother. Fallen human beings today are in the position of children who were born from that relationship.

Who is Satan? He is the enemy of God’s love. Satan is the adulterer who violated the children of God, so even the God of love cannot forgive him.

There is no way to forgive the adulterer of love. Others can be forgiven, but Satan cannot. If he is forgiven, the heavenly law will break down.

SMM 1971.2.15

Why Restoration?

• because man is a born sinner = Fall of Man

Restoring what?

• connection to God • purity • divine bloodlineage • Kingdom of Heaven

”A life of faith in itself is indemnity. Any thought, feeling, or action offered toward living according to your original nature takes an abundance of strength and conviction. Have you considered that doing the will of God, aligning yourself to the Principle, and living the Principle with True Parents as the standard, is also indemnity?…

…Be careful in this: indemnity cannot be accepted if you attempt to pay it without the right attitude. There is often a fine line separating the two; make sure you cross the boundary line and give your offering to God rather than Satan. Satan can too easily claim a condition of indemnity that is not sanctified. The trouble is, you do not always know whether God was able to accept your offering or if it was tainted just enough to permit Satan to grab it.”

/quote from Paul Werner www.tparents.org/Library/Unification/Books/Hdte/Hdte-17a.htm

The works of re-creation follow the course of restoration through indemnity; indemnity is carried out through the works of re-creation.

Therefore, re-creation can only come about when you invest yourself (voluntary).

For this reason, it is a reasonable conclusion to say that sacrifice is inevitable.

/SMM 1976.1.31

How did Adam fall? He fell due to his disbelief.

• Disbelief was the primary reason. Next, Adam fell because he asserted himself.

• He put himself, his ego in the center of everything. Adam fell because he took a self-centered position.

• Next, Adam demanded a realm of self-centered love.

These are the three major elements of the Fall: disbelief, self-assertion or self-centeredness, and finally dreams of self-centered love. These are the footholds of Satan. The fallen angels were like this. /SMM 1983.4.10

The way of indemnity is necessary for us. In order to save this world, you walk the way of indemnity.

Even though Jesus was born as the original son of God, he still needed to go the way of indemnity in order to save this world. (Compare O.T. blood, burnt offerings.)

Comment: Jesus surely knew the Law of Indemnity (Tang Gam, korean).

His sacrifice of his Holy Body postponed the final Physical Salvation,

But it also opened the way for 2000 years of Spiritual Salvation, through Jesus voluntary blood sacrifice.

Compare O.T. blood offerings.

The Unification Church is 95 to 98 percent to do with the life of faith. Since human beings lost 95 percent of what God created, our re-creation takes place only after we complete 95 percent.

Once that is done, we must fulfill the remaining 5 percent. How difficult that is!…

If the Fall had not occurred, Heaven would have done 95 percent and we would only have to do five percent.

But due to the Fall, God cannot do that for us again. We must accomplish re-creation. That means we must do 95 percent plus 5 percent.

Therefore, we must be ready to die. We must be prepared for sacrifice. Don’t think of comfort until we have completed the worldwide course of restoration… /SMM 1986.3.1

When we say “restoration through indemnity,” it means indemnity for the sake of restoration.

Restoration through indemnity is the way to attain completion (perfection).

Only after indemnity can restoration take place; then we can go the path of perfection. Thus, you can consider that indemnity and restoration are one. Perfection cannot be attained automatically; it is attained through indemnity.

Therefore, human beings living in the fallen world cannot reach completions (perfection) unless they set up conditions of indemnity. God’s Will - 697
