Claim. A blessed family’s lineage is the asset by which heaven is inherited; staining it through unchaste relations destroys the family’s standing in the spirit-world and ruptures the Kingdom of Heaven on earth.
Elaboration. SMM gives the lineage a quasi-legal status: “You should not stain your Blessing lineage. All of you should be fully aware of this. Your lineage is your asset that will enable you to succeed to and inherit heaven. It is like a document of your blood relatives, or deed papers to your lineage. It is the equivalent of your genealogy. The issue is how you protect your purity” (4.5. Conjugal love is the central flower of the ideal of love, 263-62, 1994.8.16). The single-life prohibition follows: “Those who emphasize a single life are under the direct line of the devil. The devil, Satan, will be driven out in the Last Days. Even so, such people will follow Satan” (ibid, 228-263, 1992.7.5). The judgment is severe: those who refuse to bear children “will go to the other world and face the words of judgment: ‘Through your sons and daughters, I was going to send the prince and princess that would govern the universe! Shame on you!‘” (ibid, 264-150, 1994.10.9). This grounds UC’s strict sexual ethic in lineage-cosmology, not Victorian morality.
