DOCTRINES & BELIEFS

As a member of The Church of Glory Naturalists, you will hold true and honest to the Beliefs of the Church. We attest to two simple doctrines, which are as follows.

Members are to Follow the Ten Commandments, which are the Words of God.
Be Free on this Earth to Live and Let Live.

Members of The Church of Glory Naturalists believe that we are truly Free, and are meant, by God, to live this way amongst each other until our time on Earth is through and our souls move on to the next Heavenly Realm with God.

We believe that life is sacred and that it should be marveled, treasured, and celebrated, in life and in death, which is the passage of this life to the next Heavenly Realm, where our soul resides forever with God.

We believe that God provides all things to us through his Natural World, which is bountiful and endless, and that we, as Free Beings, are free to use the Natural World to survive, thrive, and to heal our bodies, nourish our minds, and cleanse our souls as we prepare them for the next stage of existence.

We believe that family and friends play a significant role in our lives and that all things are centered around them. They, like Nature, are the paths to God.

We embrace peace, harmony, and oneness with others and the whole of God’s Creation.

We embrace a Live and Let Live approach for our own lives and the lives of others.

We embrace Communal Living as a means of survival and as a means to allow for individual thriving based on community success.

We embrace living off the land that God has provided.

We understand that as members of The Church of Glory Naturalists, we will not support any particular political candidate for any particular political office, under the Church’s name or acting as an agent of the Church, past, present, or future.

We do however, embrace our Rights to lobby for or against causes which the Church and its Membership agree to support or to take cause with.

We believe in God Almighty, Maker of Heaven and Earth, and His Son, Jesus Christ, who died for the Sins of All Men.
We believe that our bodies are made in his image and that we are equal in his eyes and that He is the Father of us all.
We believe that God has provided all that we need from nature to survive, thrive, and most importantly, to heal the bodies He has given us through the Natural World and its endless bounty. We, and we alone, decide what is right for our bodies, through consult with The Creator, and we believe we have absolute freedom to utilize anything from the Natural World which God has provided to facilitate surviving, thriving and/or healing.
We believe that no organization, government, or likewise groups of men and women who gather under the auspices of leadership or control, is above God Almighty, Maker of Heaven and Earth. We answer to Him, and Him alone. Through this belief, we are endowed with the Right of Free Choice, which we understand to be God’s Second Greatest Gift, the first being His Son, Jesus Christ, who died for the Sins of all men. No man or organization of man will be acknowledged as greater than God, and His Son, Christ. None will be given quarter to, none will be given sanctuary, none will be given preference, and none will be given allegiance, if they too, do not accept, respect, and defend the inalienable rights ordained to all of us, as equals, in the eyes of Our Lord and His Son, Jesus Christ.
We believe in the One True Text that we know to be direct from God Himself, The Ten Commandments. They are the True Words of Our Lord and they lay the foundation for our Church, our Beliefs, and our Conduct in society outside of the religion. These words are as follows:

1. I AM THE LORD THY GOD, THOU SHALT HAVE NO OTHER GODS BEFORE ME.

2. THOUGH SHALT NOT MAKE UNTO THEE, ANY GRAVEN IMAGES.

3. THOU SHALT NOT TAKE THE NAME OF THY LORD IN VAIN.

4. REMEMBER THE SABBATH DAY, TO KEEP IT HOLY.

5. HONOR THY FATHER AND THY MOTHER.

6. THOU SHALT NOT KILL.

7. THOU SHALT NOT COMMIT ADULTRY.

8. THOU SHALT NOT STEAL.

9. THOU SHALT NOT BEAR FALSE. WITNESS AGAINST THY NEIGHBOR.

10. THOU SHALT NOT COVET THY NEIGHBOR’S GOODS.

6. We believe that everything that God provides us from nature is at our disposal to use, without infringement, as man or any organization of man is not the creator of anything without the raw material which has been provided by God Himself, and therefore, is not qualified to claim ownership of, or to dispense as doctrine, mandate, or law, over. Both the physical elements provided and the harnessing of mental capacity to create are all gifts provided not by man or organization of man, but by God Himself.

7. We believe that the Second Greatest Gift God gave us, Free Choice is one that is meant to be sacred and protected by the believer. None but the individual is to decide what decisions are best for the individual, because the individual has been given this Right and by counsel of the Creator, God Almighty. God has given us a mouth to speak, ears to listen, a brain to process it all with, and the freedom to use them how we will. No man or organization of man will stifle our Free Voice.

8. We do not believe that God is only found in a building made from four walls, but rather that He is everywhere and is all things. We believe we are free to fellowship anywhere in God’s Creation which we all share and are not confined to any boundaries that would define or minimize that which belongs to God. We are but merely temporary in this Earthly World, but forever with Him in His World, even His Heavenly Realm, where we know we will enter when our time on Earth is through, through His Mercy given for our open-hearted confessions of our Sins.

9. We believe that Sin is real, and we believe that we commit it. We also believe that if you go to your Heavenly Father with an honest and open heart, no matter the Sin, no matter how insignificant or how horrid, your Father will always forgive you if your intentions are true. We believe He loves us, does not punish us or make us suffer, and He wants us all to join Him in this life and the next in Heaven. Those that do not are lost, but are never lost to Him, and they still exist within His Realms, able to be forgiven if only they ask with a true heart. We believe in balance and order in His Natural and Heavenly Worlds. Where there is Dark, there is Light. Where there is Heaven, there is Hell, as God’s Realm is vast, and unfathomable, and He Rules it all, both in the Dark and in the Light. Even those who stay in the Dark, are in His Hands, and can come out of that Darkness, at any time, if their hearts open to Him in truth and honesty. We do not believe you are merely bound for eternity in Darkness, defined only by your Sins, but rather the path can be changed if Truth is given to Him. Ultimately, Truth is where God wants you to be to enjoy all the blessings He can give, but even in the Dark, He does not abandon you.

10. We believe that family and friendships are the center of life built on a foundation of mutual Faith in God and the Natural World. It is vital to the members of The Church of Glory Naturalists to preserve the traditions of the American family, the institution of family, and to validate the value an organized and faithful family unit provides to the community it may positively influence. We support and promote communal living and communal spaces which enhance, benefit, promote, secure, and provide for the family and friends of the members of the church, the church itself, and by extension or intention, the community at large.
