Selections about the tenets of the Essene Church in reference to raw food
From the Essene Gospel of Peace, Book 1:
“If you will that the Living God’s word and His power may enter you, defile not your body and your spirit; for the body is the temple of the spirit, and the spirit is the temple of God.
"...the milk of every thing that moveth and liveth upon earth shall be meat for you.. . the living angels of the living God serve only living men. For God is the God of the living, and not the God of the dead. So eat always from the table of God: the fruits of the trees, the grains and grasses of the field, the milk of beasts, and the honey of bees.....
from 1 Corinthians 3:16-17, 6:19, (KJV):
“Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you? If any man defile the temple of God, him shall God destroy; for the temple of God is holy, which temple ye are...What? Know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own?”
The CREDO of The Essene Church of Peace
I believe that my most precious possession is life.
I believe that I shall mobilize all the forces of life against the forces of death.
I believe that mutual understanding leads towards mutual cooperation; that mutual cooperation leads toward peace; and that peace is the only way of survival to mankind.
I believe that I shall preserve instead of waste the natural resources, which are the heritage of the children.
I believe that I shall avoid the pollution of the air, water, and soil, the basic preconditions of life.
I believe I shall preserve the vegetation of the planet: the humble grass, which came fifty million years ago, and the majestic trees, which cam twenty million years ago, to prepare the planet for mankind.
I believe I shall eat only fresh, pure, natural, whole foods, without chemicals and artificial processing.
I believe I shall live a simple, natural creative life, absorbing all the sources of energy, harmony and knowledge, in and around me.
I believe that the improvement of life and mankind on the planet must start with my individual effort, as the whole depends on the atoms composing it.
I believe in the Fatherhood of God, the Motherhood of Nature, and the Brotherhood of Man.
