Rituals and ceremonies

"A ritual is a religious service or other ceremony which involves a series of actions performed in a fixed order."[1] But if we do not understand that a religious service is "the performance of all known duties to God and our fellow men” not chants and chattering.

social rituals include sharing meals together, bringing gifts to people in the midst of major life events, like baby showers and housewarmings, and yes—doing what all our ancestors have done since language was conceived—merely commenting on the weather.


The term welfare may refer to government programs that provide financial aid to individuals who claim a need. Welfare today is often funded by taxpayers which removes the need for the true purpose of religious rituals and is the antitheses of "pure Religion". When the state provides welfare through legal charity the ritual becomes a political tool used for the purpose of empowering one party over another. "Rather than providing effective service, social welfare programs are rituals of social values, expressing, proselytizing, reaffirming, and strengthening factional preferences."[2]

ARTICLE VII - Church RITUALS AND CEREMONIES

There are two aspects of rituals:[3] service and sacrifice in charity and love.

The Church established by Jesus Christ sacrifices all its resources in the service of mankind according to the Word, Way and Will of the Most High God the Father and His obedient Son. Services as acts of worship include but are not limited to any activity that is a true service to the people: Healing and caring for the sick; teaching the truth; distributing knowledge; cleansing the soul, body and minds of the congregation of envy, hate, ignorance, apathy, avarice...; Baptism and the washing of feet. Distribution of Charity; breaking of bread. The unification of the brotherhood of man into one accord through arbitration and a holy kiss of love and patience with the nature of Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit. Assisting in the daily administration of the fatherless and homeless.

Our ceremonies[4] are also a part of the services and are often symbolic of the weighteir matters as prescribed by law, custom, or authority established by the lineal consanguinity of the ancient forefathers from Adam to Noah and Shem to Abraham, Isaac, Jacob and Joseph... the Children of Israel unto David and the highest son of David, the Messiah, Lord and King. Those ceremonies guide the members of the body in their outward conduct concerning important matters, as in the performance of duties, transaction of affairs of state, including but not limited to Letters or documents of recognition and identification, and the celebration, recording and recognition of notable events, including but not limited to birth, rebirths, adoptions, marriages and deaths, as well as the anointing of ministers, bishops and archbishops.

Romans12:2 And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what [is] that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.

  3. Rituals and Ceremonies are the simplest aspect of the outward manifestation of the Church but often the least understood. This is because attention is often focused upon the form or appearance letting the Spirit die. As with the law it is not the letter that is important but the Spirit. These outward signs should be uniform to the point where the Church may be visible but never at the expense of the Spirit.
