Pride and Jehovih’s faithfulness is the theme of the 12th chapter of Lika. Ahura’s pride did not permit him to hear the Voice of Jehovih. (12:4-13) Ahura desired material gain, praise from others and the desire to rule. (12:14-16) Ahura’s kingdom failed (12:17-18)
The religion of mainline Christianity, on the surface, is diametrically opposed to the principles of traditional Faithism. There are certain points that are shared between Christians and Faithists, for example, belief in the existence of a Divine Creator, belief in Jesus as the Messiah of Israel, and the truths of Jesus’ teachings, to name only a few. However, concerning the differences, mainstream Christianity often times diverges drastically from the plain teachings of Jesus (whom Faithists call Joshu) on many different…
There is much discussion in Faithist circles about the dead and about communication with the angelic world. The Oahspe teaches that there are lower and higher angels, and that one can not trust the word of every spirit that is encountered. The goal of Faithism, and the Faithist, in particular, is certainly not to communicate with dead loved ones or to ask the angels questions of a frivolous nature. Neither does Faithism involve itself with the practices of the dark…
Even as a child is born on earth, with friends around it to rejoice at its coming, so do kind and loving spirit friends welcome into the spirit world a truly good man’s spirit. The incorruptible leaves the corruptible in the twinkling of an eye; but before his spirit has thus departed, and while the dissolution is about to take place, the spirit friends enter into communion with him, and magnetize the body, which gives him liberty to go out….
We are blessed to have instructions provided to us in the Oahspe on the subjects of marriage, divorce and remarriage, as well as many other topics. The Oahspe Bible even includes instructions on how to address modern-day social issues that were either never heard of or rarely ever mentioned 200 years ago. The world, in general, does not understand the seriousness of marriage, and thus divorce is seen as an “easy way out” of a bond that otherwise should have…
A wonderful path stretches out before you. You are walking into the arms of a glorious destiny as a child of the living Creator. Your soul is part of the great soul of the Great Spirit, one with the infinite Soul and lives in the ocean of Soul partaking of the strength of the Spirit.

I recognise You as The Great Soul. I recognise You now as the Almighty Healer of all heavenly and earthly realms. I recognise You as the Master of Souls, the Spirit of divine impersonal Love.
The Oahspe is often called the Kosmon Bible or Oahspe Bible. It is the official Bible for Faithists. It is the Holy Book — the Holy Scriptures, of the Faithist Church. Although it did come down by guidance through angels, it is not considered immaculate or perfect, because it was still through human hands that it was eventually relayed to the public. “Books are maculate; but Jehovih, is the Immaculate.” (Judge. 20:29) “Not infallible is this Book, Oahspe; but to…
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…
Solidarity among people of like faith is of vital importance in this day and age. We are called to have unity in whatever acceptable fashion that it can take. For Faithists today, a full unity is not entirely foreseeable in a short period of time, but an “interfaith union” is certainly possible. If our faith is strong and our knowledge of the Oahspe and the manners in which the Heavenly Father reveals His intentions is adequate and properly maintained, we…
