In this section of the website, we hope to provide a guide to what the Church of the New Epoch is, a brief history of our Church, and answers to questions. What is the Church? The Church of the New Epoch is the church founded around the prophecy of Joseph dictated to him by God, the Lord of All. The church believes in a kind of a Pantheistic-monotheism - that is to say, our belief tells us that all Gods are in themselves only aspects of the ultimate God. Thus, New Epochians can worship the Lord of All as dictated by the prophecy, but they are also free to worship in any other religious style they choose - Christianity, Judaism, Islam, or any other. This in effect helps promote religious understanding between people. And it's history? The Church of the New Epoch was founded by our prophet Joseph in late 1997 after he was called on to write down the prophecy. This document forms the basis of the church today. From it's initial beginnings, the church underwent a period of contemplation, and is currently in a period of massive expansion. Key Concepts? The fact that God - in whatever form people choose to worship him is basically the same & as such all religious persuasions are equal. Also, the concept that everything has one or several "purposes", the fulfillment of which should be considered as a task to complete during your life. Finally, the concept that (barring a few things like necromancy or similar unwholesome practices) no matter what you do in life, you will be welcomed into paradise after your death. Do you have to give up anything to become New Epochian? Short of a hatred of other people, there is nothing that the church requests you give up. You've convinced me that this is what I'm looking for - How Do I Join? Simple - email us at our email address. |
