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…

Jehovih Inspires His Creation

Jehovih Inspires His Creation

Book of Inspiration 7:8-11 8. To man I give liberty to acquire wisdom by observing the method of My work, as I manifest in other living creatures. 9. I have also given man capacity to attain to know My inspiration in contradistinction from the inspiration he receiveth from his surroundings. 10. To no other creature gave I this capacity.

Hints to the Reader

Hints to the Reader

To all concerned, A page in the front matter of some editions of the Oahspe Bible has a section called “Hints to the Reader.” I suggest seekers use a great deal of caution if using that page since it contains some false information.

Joshu and Jesus

Joshu and Jesus

Within Faithism, the historical Jesus is referred to as “Joshu” (as in a form of “Joshua”, or Yeshua or “Yehoshua” in Hebrew). However, it is recognized that there is also a false Jesus created by false religions. This is not the same as Joshu, or as some refer to as the historical Jesus. The historical “Jesus” is the same as “Joshu” in Faithism. (JBS)

The Essene Faithists — True Israelites

The Essene Faithists — True Israelites

The Oahspe identifies the Essenes as true Israelites, and from whom Joshu (the historical Jesus) was raised up. From the Book of Saphah we read: “48. …the scattered tribes of the Faithists still held to the Great Spirit, Jehovih, keeping their service secret. These latter were without sin, doing no war nor resistance of evil against evil, but returning good for evil, and loving one another as one’s self. 49. From the Faithist branch sprang the assembly of Essenes, cultivating…

The Oahspe is not Meaningless

The Oahspe is not Meaningless

“Difficult and arcane as it is in many places, Oahspe cannot be dismissed as nonsensical or meaningless. Its [scribe] was sincere and no charlatan. People have devoted their lives to its teachings. More than a century after he recorded it, Dr. Newbrough’s new bible remains in print and inspires the devotion of groups of Faithists around the world.” (Extract from Shalam – Utopia on the Rio Grande 1881-1907, page 14, by Lee Priestley; 1988. University of Texas at El Paso)

Suis and Clairvoyance

Suis and Clairvoyance

In Faithism, there is a concept called “Su’is” (Suis). This is defined as “a person who can see with the eyes closed, or one who can hear angel voices.” (Oahspe Glossary) These “angel voices” are referring to angels or other types of celestial beings that have been sent by Jehovih the Creator. This is certainly not a foreign concept in the Faithist belief structure. In fact, this is mentioned directly in the first century Didache when it says “prophesying or…
