On the Three Pillars

On the Three Pillars

 

The Holy Scrolls are the founding pillars of the Holy Church. The pious clergy of the universal church all study the Holy Texts for guidance. These same faithful onlookers do so to better understand the teachings of the infallible LORD. The Holy Scrolls educate us, fallible beings, on the way the infallible LORD desires we live our lives. Through this divine path we achieve eternal happiness and peace.

 

In a world without the Holy Texts we would not have the slightest idea on the glorious LORD’s mysteries. We would also be twice the sinners we already are. The world would be filled with utter chaos and disaster. We would have nothing to fear, nothing to look up to, and nothing to praise. However, one mustn't ignore the fact that the Holy Scrolls themselves are based upon a much Higher, much Greater Being than the mortal authors to whom they are credited. These Holy Texts were created with the will of the infallible LORD.

 

These old and Holy Texts are a true pillar of the church. But, since the texts are written by the will of the LORD, we mustn't credit the Scrolls alone. Without the LORD, the scrolls would merely be another solemn piece of parchment. These useless writings would guide sinners in no way, shape, or form. The Scrolls allow for the message of the LORD to be simply conveyed onto the masses. But, the Scrolls can not work alone and need to be preached in order to be lived. The episcopal hierarchy is then needed as the third and final pillar. These men ensure that the universal church is kept alive through their work. Just as stone pillars hold up the temples of the LORD, these three pillars function to support the Church as a whole. If we did not have the three holy foundations: we would have a disorganized church, we would fall into perdition through our sin, and we would run the risk of simply disintegrating as a force in the world. Along with the Church, these pillars support the faithful. And to the faithful I, Ambrocio Kefalas, say this:  listen to the LORD'S teachings, praise His name, for if you do... eternal happiness and salvation will not be far behind.
