The Lesser Gospels

Heresy of the Tempter

Calling

There is an echo to the calling of the Tempter, and those who hear it hear the glory of God in flesh.  The  Lord created man in a form of flesh and desire, not as a punishment or a test, but rather as a gift.  It is the nature of beasts to indulge in the pleasure of their nature, and this is right and the will of the Lord.  

God created man to be both flesh, and divine.  The churches spend to much time seeking to bolster the divine through the denial of the flesh, but this goes against the will of the Lord.  It is the right, and privilege of man to be both flesh and divine, and it is against God to not embraced fully the pleasure of living, as well as the responsibility of living well.  The Heresy of the Tempter teaches that the embracing of pleasures is right and holy, and the denial of pleasure is sin against the gifts of the Lord.

Sins

Major:

• Murder.  Taking the life of another is unjust in the extreme.  The Lord will call each to the divine in their own appointed time.

• Denying pleasure for spiritual reasons; fasting, tea-tolling, abstinence after marriage, ect.

Minor:

• Refusing an offered indulgence for no good reason.

• Jealousy

• Covetousness

• Denying another pleasure

Legion

Calling

Those who hear the calling of Legion know that abomination is not just a word for sin.  It is a palpable force of corruption in God's grand creation.  Things from beyond the majesty of reality are constantly seeking to enter and pervert Creation, and must be stopped at all costs.  Legion is the personification of this corruption, and illustrates the truth that whatever skin abomination wears or sweet words it whispers, there can be only one result; the corruption and perversion of Creation.  As such, it is the holy duty of men to seek out this cancer and destroy it in all its myriad forms.

Sins

Major:

• Inviting corruption into a person, place, or thing.

• Making a pact or deal with an agent of corruption.

Minor:

• Not bathing.

• Eating food which has become tainted or rotten

• Attempting to alter God's creation through design (selective breeding, etc.)

• Not keeping Kosher (These laws protect from corruption)

• Murder (All Creation is sacred.  Do not do the Enemy's work for them)
