An introduction to the Scroll of Spirit

[LPT 767]

The Scroll of Spirit is a holy text that was originally delivered to Exalted Owyn in the form of epistles to various nations. It is intended for instructional and devotional use by laypeople, but the translation into the common tongue is not suitable for ecclesiastical use due to its lack of nuance in the original language. The Scroll of Spirit discusses the nature of GOD and contains three main epistles, addressed to the Godwinites, the Jorenites, and the Harrenites.

 

The epistle to the Godwinites focuses on the sin of ascribing partners to GOD and worshiping fallible men. Owyn admonishes the Godwinites to turn away from false gods and seek salvation in the one true GOD, who is the sole and only god. He emphasizes the greatness of GOD's fullness and purity, and stresses that the Lord's glory is not based on mere magnitude but on His perfection and fullness.

 

The epistle to the Jorenites addresses the sin of failing to defend the word of GOD and mixing in the words of lesser beings. Owyn urges the Jorenites to be strict in their prayers, as prayer is a way to strengthen the spirit and the word of GOD is the paramount strategy. He also emphasizes the eternal nature of GOD and the lasting holiness of Horen's word.

 

The epistle to the Harrenites focuses on the sin of worshiping idols and the importance of upholding the covenant with GOD. Owyn reminds the Harrenites of GOD's past miracles and encourages them to turn away from their idolatry and return to the one true GOD. He also stresses the importance of upholding the covenant and the consequences of breaking it.

 

The Epistle to the Elves addresses the sin of dividing the world into what is holy and what is profane, exalting the natural world while denigrating the works of man. Owyn reminds the Elves that there is no holiness in creation but with the Lord and that all things are part of GOD's creation, including the works of man. He stresses that the qualities of GOD are infinite and eternal, and that holiness cannot be divided. Instead, Owyn advises the Elves to find salvation and glory in GOD's grace, rather than in his creations.

 

The Epistle to the Dwarves addresses the sin of dividing the authorities of GOD among many beings and profaning what is holy. Owyn warns the Dwarves that by trading the one true GOD for many false gods, they are opening the door to the Denier, who will bring great iniquity. He reminds them that only with the strength of GOD can they hope to defeat Iblees, and emphasizes the infinite power of GOD, who is able to do all things.

 

The Epistle to the Orcs addresses the sin of violence and the importance of repenting for past wrongdoings. Owyn reminds the Orcs of the punishment of the first brothers for their sin, and advises them to turn away from violence and seek salvation through repentance. He also encourages them to follow the commandments of GOD and to seek peace and reconciliation with their neighbors.

 

Overall, the Scroll of Spirit is a holy text that emphasizes the greatness and singularity of GOD and warns against the sin of worshiping false gods or failing to defend and uphold the word of GOD. Its message is relevant to believers today, as it reminds us of the importance of staying true to our faith and the dangers of straying from it.
