Doctrine of the Edenic Faith
The Doctrine of the Edenic Faith is simple. We beleive that the story of Genesis 1-3 is not literal, but allegorical.
The fall of man was not his fault. In accordance with such scripture as The Paraphrase of Shem and the sapocalypse of Adam, we boldly declare that much of the old Testament was inspired by a demonic being PRETENDING to be god. Thus we do not accept much of the Old testament.
In accordance with such beleifs, we hold that much of the Prophets were deceived by Yahweh, the Demiurges trickery and those of the Seven Evil Archons who are his stooges, inluding Powers,Principality and Authorities mentioned by Paul.
The True Godhead, reffered to in Genesis as elohim (plural) is made up of El (God), Shehkinah/Sophia/Achamoth the Mother (also called Barbelos) and the Logos, The Christ.
We do not beleive in a virgin birth, but hold that Jesus was filled with the Christ at his baptism by his cousin, John the Baptist.
We hold that there are Three Types of People, that have their origin in Three Roots
For the Dark Root, or darkness, is the Hylic person, dominated by sensual and bodily passions, promiscous, unloyal, living but for sensual desires
From the Root of Spirit, of whom The Spirit has her children are the Psychics, men and wpomen given to philisophical, speculative and dualistic thinking
Lastly, from the Root of Light, of the incomprehensible, ineffiable Triune Godhead are the Pneaumatics. They are the blessed, who by faith, works and reincarnation have reached a level Gnosis, which is non-dualistic thinking, wholy spiritual and without need of a moral law.
Reincarnation is the mechanism that gives peopole the time and chance to apply themselves throuygh faith, good works to reach Gnosis.
For Hylics, Faith is necessary to reach the Psychic stage.
For Psycics, Faith and Good Works are necessary to reach the Pneaumatic level. Once having attained Pneaumatic level, they must work out their faith, contesting for the award above all rewards: Gnosis, the dissolution and end of incarnation.
We beleive that there will be a Final Judgement, with the Hylic and Psycics purified in the flames of hell, to ascend to be with the Godhead in Kingdom of God.
The Kingdom of God is Eden Restored. We beleive that as righteousness becomes the order of the day, and when a critical mass of Pneaumatics is reached, it will quicken and cause the Final Judgement.
The most evil will be condemned to Sheol, the grave to die for ever. This is the Second Death. It is final.
Prayers, faith-they are insificient in their own. Only by evolving and taking advantage of the Sacraments of Confession,Excorcism, Baptism, Sealing,Eucharist, Consolateum/the Endura and Chrimsation , can a person evolve .
All men and women are condemned to return to earth afyter death if they haven't reach Gnosis. Gnosis is Illumination, and the end of desire, hatred and suffering. It gives on the ability to overcome the Seven Evil Archons and Yahweh and pass on to the mansions Jesus mentioned.
It is fated that man should die a million times, lest they damn themselves in one. Like a Pheonoix you will arise from the ashes, to be born again throught the tunnel of light into the dark tunnel of the womb and thereby return to the land of the living. Work for your salvation with fear and trembling, for by your own hand you live, and by your own hand you shall die.
No man can save you, no prayer however piously muttered, only the labor of salvation lightened by Their Grace and the Sacraments. Strength to you, fellow pilgrims, and may your steps lead you ever closer to Gnosis and the end of the Wheel of Reincarnations.
