Comments on the Book of Discipline – Chapter 6

1. O man, apply yourself to understand the spirit of my discourse, for herein shall you find the key to the Father’s kingdom. 2. These are the rules of the second resurrection: To become an interpreter and worker without a written formula: 3. That whatever gives joy to your fellow man and renders peace and goodwill unto all–shall be called light: 4. That whatever gives sorrow to your fellow man, or discouragement to others–shall be called darkness: 5. As to…

The Importance of Reading the Oahspe

The Importance of Reading the Oahspe

As Faithists we believe the Oahspe is a sacred text that contains teachings and guidance from the Creator. The Oahspe is a revelation that provides insight into the nature of the universe, the purpose of human life, and the spiritual path that leads to enlightenment. Regularly reading the Oahspe is important for Faithists because it helps us deepen our understanding of the faith and its teachings. The text contains wisdom and knowledge that can only be fully understood through careful…

Comments on Book of Judgement Chapter 2

Comments on Book of Judgement Chapter 2

1. GOD, embassador of Jehovih, saith: Ye shall assemble for the communion of angels, regularly, and maintain intercourse with them. For in no other way can ye demonstrate the immortality of the soul. Faithists are encouraged to gather regularly for Angel Communion so as to continue communication with them. When the Oahspe Bible says “in no other way can ye demonstrate the immortality of the soul”, it means that without the higher knowledge received from Jehovih’s angelic beings, we have…

Testing the Spirits

Testing the Spirits

“Some will desire to consult the angels, as to which–in a given matter–is the highest light; but I say unto thee, thou shalt weigh the words of angels even as if they were mortals, exacting similar facts and substantiation.” (Disc. 8:9) Simply because a spirit or angel says something does not mean it is truth, or that the spirit has full knowledge on any given subject. The above verse from the Oahspe Bible reminds me of John’s words at 1…

Demonstrating Loving-Kindness

Demonstrating Loving-Kindness

In one of his latest messages titled “Demonstrating Loving-Kindness,” Mir Izgadda stated that “Jehovih’s people need to focus their attention on the heart by developing a better attitude concerning loving-kindness towards others.” In his message, he speaks about the importance of helping others and as a result, raising our own grades. He said that we need to imitate Jehovih’s love for His creation.

Was John Newbrough Racist?

Was John Newbrough Racist?

Faithists are sometimes accused of being racist or following a racist religion. Those who accuse us point to a comment that John Newbrough made concerning a “new race” being raised up. Let’s take a look at this in context. John Newbrough is quoted as saying: “We lost one little babe, which we brought away from the almshouse—though it was nearly dead when we received it … To me, it is perfectly appalling how these little things are slaughtered in this…

Using a Bible Translation in Conjunction with the Oahspe

Using a Bible Translation in Conjunction with the Oahspe

“And Jehovih called his angels, who were older than the earth, and he said unto them: Go ye, raise man upright, and teach him to understand.” (Oahspe vs. 2) For Faithists, the Oahspe is their sacred text – their official Bible. Some Faithists from Jewish or Christian backgrounds, or those who do work among Christians, often use the Judaeo-Christian Scriptures to compare the Oahspe. It is not uncommon to find some similarities between the two. For Jehovih’s Faithists, the Oahspe…

Is Living in a Faithist Community for Everyone?

Is Living in a Faithist Community for Everyone?

Ideally, those who have covenanted with the Creator would live in a community designed specifically with their needs and requirements in mind. However, what is ideal for some, may be impossible for others. We can not judge others because of their particular situation in life. Some brethren have voiced their desire to live in a community but due to family obligations, young children, lack of finances to move to another country, or other reasons, that they are unable to do…

Communicating with the Spirit World

Communicating with the Spirit World

Some people have been mistaken in thinking that when we speak of “spiritualism” or holding a “spiritual church service” that we are referring to communicating with the demon world. When Faithists speak of communication with the righteous angels or holy celestial beings, we in no way mean that one should be communicating with demoniac forces from the kingdom of darkness, or attempting to conjure up the souls of lost loved ones, holding seances, or using anything related to the demons…

What the Angels of the Creator Reveal

What the Angels of the Creator Reveal

The Angels of the Creator reveal: That human beings on this planet are living at the bottom of an ocean of Mind which is composed of the minds of past undeveloped inhabitants of the earth. The majority of these minds or spirits are selfish, un-aspiring, and un-progressive. They vibrate in sympathy with the lowest qualities in human minds, and thus cloud and depress noble motives and hinder spiritual progress. This great mass of human spirits impinges upon all human natures…
