Claim. Because Satan cannot accuse the True Parents, believers receive an ‘identification card’ that must be signed by God, Satan, the archangel, and Adam — granting them the same accusation-immunity that backs True Parents.
Elaboration. SMM uses a striking legal-administrative metaphor: ‘Satan cannot accuse True Parents and so you have received identification cards. This card must be signed by God and Satan. Moreover, it must be signed by the archangel and then by Adam’ (Section 1. The Position of the True Parents The world has passed through many eras: the eras of imperialism, emperors and kingdoms. After they passed came the children’s era of democracy and the servants’ era of communism. Because these eras were not governed by the law of love, we can conclude they were prod- ucts of a false world. The original world was to come into being as the extension of an original heart. Then, there must be an original person. But where is that original person? It should be understood that the term “person,” here includes).
The four signatories trace the chain of responsibility for the fall in reverse: Adam (who failed his portion of responsibility), the archangel (Lucifer, who initiated the seduction), Satan (the resulting accusatorial position), and God (the originating sovereign). Each must sign because the indemnity condition must extinguish every layer’s accusatorial claim. The card is therefore not a charm but a formal record that the providential parties have all assented to the believer’s standing.
The metaphor reframes salvation as administrative-legal rather than merely affective: there is a paperwork structure to restoration. This pairs with the four-position-foundation logic and with the indemnity-condition framework — a believer’s standing is verifiable against principled conditions. The doctrine has real pastoral consequence: it explains why UC ritual life is so meticulous about formal conditions (offerings, ceremonies, specific time-bound observances). Each is a signature, in effect.
The claim that ‘Satan cannot accuse True Parents’ is doctrinally important — it asserts that the True Parents have established such complete indemnity that Satan has no juridical handhold. Critics may engage on whether this is empirically verifiable or simply asserted.
