Splendid

The Atonement is the only defense that cannot be used destructively because it is not a device you made.

The Atonement principle was in effect long before the Atonement began.

The principle was love and the Atonement was an act of love. Acts were not necessary before the separation, because belief in space and time did not exist.

It was only after the separation that the Atonement and the conditions necessary for its fulfillment were planned.

Then a defense so splendid was needed that it could not be misused, although it could be refused.

Refusal could not, however, turn it into a weapon of attack, which is the inherent characteristic of other defenses.

The Atonement thus becomes the only defense that is not a two-edged sword. It can only heal.
