One of the Sunday sermon from DFE. to the station vistors and crew of the QR-K85 System.


Yesterday as I was flying through a lowsec system in Domain, I was thinking about those poor Gallente souls that do not belive in GOD.
We speak of being “condemned” now, but not of being “damned.” The word “Damned” sounds scary and fearsome but that’s what they are. But wait, what about my soul? That fact came home to me with great force as I remembered a statement that I have read somewhere, “An extreme condition demands an extreme remedy. Until you see that you are doomed and damned apart from GOD forever, you will never truly count his presence as precious in your sight.”
What does this mean to you the faithful…
For sure you will never have to worry that you will be truly dammed, because you truly are believers and doing his work, or are you?

But of course for the astute readers out there, this begs the question, are we doing our duty when we just talk to or maybe interact in a day to day situation with our non-believing friends?
What exactly is our duty? What do we owe GOD and the Empire beyond obedience?

I remind you of the scripture:

"I give to you the destiny of Faith,
And you will bring its message to every planet of every star in the heavens:
Go forth, conquer in my Name, and reclaim that which I have given."
- The Scriptures, Book of Reclaiming 22:13

So if this is true, then I give you this scripture passage as the answer on whether we should fear GOD!

"To know the true path, but yet, to never follow it. That is possibly the gravest sin"
- The Scriptures, Book of Missions 13:21

So the next time do not forget to “reclaim those lost souls”! Explain to your non believing friends and acquaintances why you fear not only for their souls, but also your own!

God Bless, and Amarr Victor!

I'm afraid your definition of truth is not homogeneous with everyone else's in New Eden.

Watch_ Fred Fred Frederation_ and stop [u]cryptozoologist[/u]! Fight against the brutal genocide of fictional creatures across New Eden! Is that a metaphor? Probably not, but the fru-fru- people will sure love it!

To now the duty that stands before us, and to face it: that's the test we all must face during our time in this world. The trial that sets those worthy apart from those that fall on the way.

Explaining your faith to others is fine so long as you don't "insist" (at weapon point) on others converting to it. By the way, just what manner of "reclaiming" do you have in mind Pilot Cutter?

We, to be honest, I am not explaining anything. I am turning the “top soil” in everyone’s brains. Basically preparing you for the planting of Gods words in your life. Because regardless of the race or creed, you will be reclaimed in one way or another.

Think about it like this if you will. It is our duty to reclaim this universe and all in it for God, the Empire, and the Empress.

So, however or whatever it takes, Amarr Victor!

To create a nation that blesses all it's citizens with peace, prosperity and happiness. To make their lives the best lives possible, their culture the most incredible to behold and their scientific knowledge & enlightenment the greatest in New Eden. Do all of this and the wayward souls that can be reclaimed will do so on their own - they will begging to join us in God's Light.

Providence is quiet enjoyable. The locals are full and there plenty of easy targets.

Not if you continue with what you do on a daily basis, pilot.

People might be more interested in being inspired by your honorable ways if you were, in fact, honorable.

You are not, thus set a very bad example.

You're right... my refusal to participate in the faction war, my delivering of needed supplies both in the Mandate, Empire and the Republic, my habit of rescuing of various people from jetcans and turning them over to the Disciples of Ston, my constant support of EvE University.... clearly all this is the behavior of someone forsaken by God.

Oh sorry, I forgot that I'm dealing with someone who defines "good" and "honorable" as killing innocent Amarrian civilians. Silly me. Roll

A) All commendable actions, but this is not what I speak of and I suspect you know what I mean but willfully ignore the topic, as you have done before.

B) This is, in fact what I speak of. You claim that I define honorable action with killing innocent people, specifically Amarrians. This is hyperbole at best, out-right lies and slander at worst.

I am politically opposed to your Mandate and the Empire, so you see fit to see only what you wish from me, that being the worst you can think of. You even make up out-right lies about me and anyone else you disagree with in order to smear me and ruin the impression you might have of me. The worst is, you have no proof of your claims, but stick to them anyway.

This is apparent nearly every time you speak up in public. Hardly a day goes by without your "input" on some topic or other where this behavior is observed. I can bring up several dozen examples by now, in fact.

THIS is what you need to stop doing. THIS is what is dishonorable and shameful, THIS is what ruins your reputation to the wider public. You happen to be one of very few Ammatar who are still publicly active and your actions reflect on your people. How many people across the cluster do you think read this Summit on a daily basis, pilot?

Hint: It is not just Capsuleers and Dust-Clones.

No pilot, I rather doubt that most of the people outside the Empire will be forcefully "reclaimed'. While you may see it as a duty to inflict your religion and culture on the rest of us we, likewise, see it as our duty to resist you.

You've also conveniently neglected to answer my question about just how you plan to carry out this conquest and subjugation of all mankind. Would that be because you know that the only way most people would have anything to do with your twisted religion and bigoted culture is through force of arms and enslavement? When you say 'however and whatever it takes' just what do you mean? How far are you willing to go?

I'd have thought that Vak'Atioth and the Matari Rebellion would have taught you a lesson but, apparently not.

When the world is running down, you make the best of what's still around.

Pilot Rella, the church teaches up to follow the path the Lord has laid before us and to never waiver in our commitment to Him. If it His will that the people of this cluster are reclaimed, it will happen. If it is not His will, it will not happen.

Even if you resist the Amarr Empire, you have not resisted God. Look around you. In all nations, people bow to Him and speak words of prayer. The face of the Reclaiming is not only that of your enemies, but also the face of those who you call neighbor and friend.

Ships may be destroyed. Battles may be lost. But Faith endures and it is not something that you can hold back from your people as a dam might hold back a river.

Render unto Khanid the things which are Khanid's; and unto God the things that are God's.
