2.The Principles of Restoration B.The way of restoration is the way of indemnity This is when humankind lays the foundation to receive true parents. This is when humankind lays the foundation to receive true parents. –Through laying indemnity conditions. –i.e restoring what was lost at the Fall, through indemnity, back to its original state.

2.The Principles of Restoration Three types of indemnity condition: Three types of indemnity condition: –Indemnity condition of an equal amount:  Each person is responsible for wrong he/she does to others  Exodus 21:23-25 “But if there is serious injury, you are to take life for life, eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot, burn for burn, wound for wound, bruise for bruise.” –Indemnity condition of a greater amount:  Restore the condition and the failure as well  Numbers 14:34 “For forty years – one year for each of the forty days you explored the land – you will suffer for your sins and know what it is like to have me against you.”

2.The Principles of Restoration Three types of indemnity condition: Three types of indemnity condition: –Indemnity condition of a lesser amount:  We can never pay back what was lost at the fall  So make conditional offerings to demonstrate sincerity of our desire to return to god  Paid by followers who benefit from the offerings of their central figures who represent god  E.G. Followers of a prophet benefit from his foundation by demonstrating their faith in him and living according to his instructions

2.The Principles of Restoration Sin: Sin: –An act or thought which violates heavenly law, creating the condition through which one forms a reciprocal base with Satan and enters into a give and take relationship with him directly or indirectly Personal sin (leaves) Hereditary sin (branches) Collective sin (trunk) Sin due to the fall (roots)

2.The Principles of Restoration Foundation of faith Foundation of faith –First step is to demonstrate faith in god –Submission of our desires to the will of god  It’s a process:  First offering possessions (burnt offerings, crops)  Leading finally to offering ourselves –Adam and eve’s faith and obedience were to be upheld through their entire growth to maturity fulfilling the 3 blessings and establishing the 4 position foundation

2.The Principles of Restoration Foundation of faith Foundation of faith –It is not enough therefore for us to briefly express attitude of faith and obedience –Need to make the foundation of faith using certain periods, which appear in many sacred texts  In bible and Koran the numbers 4,12, 21 and 40 are common:  Noah’s faith vindicated by 40 days rain  Jacob 21 years in his uncle Laban’s house  Moses built faith among the Israelites with 12 tribal leaders  Mohammed (PBUH) began his public mission at the age of 40  Completed a victorious 21 year course before his death

2.The Principles of Restoration Foundation of substance Foundation of substance –Once F/F established, God can work with us by creating circumstances that lead us to purify ourselves  Original nature must become subject over evil fallen nature.  Thus the love of humankind is raised up.  This restoration of our love can be seen in the standard of man-woman relationships:  Before the ten commandments, there was no standard.  The ten commandments included a prohibition against adultery.  Jesus, on a greater foundation than Moses, said that to lust itself was an act of adultery.  Celibacy is a condition of purification for this purpose.  The F/S provides a structure for us to overcome self- centredness, disobedience, resentment, arrogance and unrighteous lust for power.
