Claim. Book08 reframes faith as 95-to-98% keeping the law of indemnity — not a private credence in God — and treats routine, habitual religiosity as a major opening for renewed satanic accusation.
Elaboration. SMM defines faith functionally as indemnity-fulfillment: “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… We must accomplish re-creation. That means we must do 95 percent plus 5 percent. Therefore, we must be ready to die” (CSG 8.4 §6, 142-84, 1986.3.1). Routine devotion is identified as a vulnerability: “A routine life of faith is dangerous. Such a life of faith becomes a major factor presenting Satan with the conditions for accusation. As people walk the course of restoration, Satan uses every method possible to find opportunities for recurrent invasion” (ibid, 167-98, 1987.6.30). The dispensational urgency-claim is sharp: “the era of restoration through indemnity that has lasted until now is passing away… in the era of restoration we cannot take our time to resolve mistakes. Things will happen immediately” (ibid, 144-128, 1986.4.12). Source-note: this H1 heading carries the prose-only-heading bug; citation uses file-level wikilink with |CSG 8.4 §6 display alias.
