The Word of God

The Word of God is the holy doctrine of The Church of the New World and is followed by all of its members.

Official Doctrine

The Church Authority

Church Power of Authority

  • The Church of the New World is the one and only true Church that was ordained by God and created by his servants. Through the world of God the Church was made the sole source of his word, and therefore, the sole interpreters of the Word of God.
  • As the power of God’s Word is with us, we are with it. The Church has been made to spread the word of God, and open the Gates of Heaven for those to enter it, and no other Church has the right or authority to do so, because the Church is ordained by God for this purpose and the powers to forgive sin, spread the world, and to be a shepherd to the world and lead them into Heaven, has been given specifically the Church, and it alone.

Papal Infallibility

  • Pope is unquestionable, but we may ask him to reconsider, and that we should advise him, also that he may change doctrine to suit the times, the new ages, and the new beliefs that come to the forefront and are found to be the truth. Also, he must ask an advisory council of their thoughts first.

Moral Identity of the Old

The Moral Identity of the Old is what has existed before the dawn of the New World. The ideas and values that were instilled before the Lord God created the New World in order to make a better place for us all. However, he calls his Church to protect them and inform those of His New World of the ways of the Old. Thus it is our duty and one that the Church and its members should hold, even if they are not all “involved” with any more, they still hold moral precedence form the Old World to this New World of our Lord; as well as, some elements apply still today.

The Moral Identity of the Old

  1. Thou shall not murder

  2. Thou shall not bear false witness

  3. Thou shall not commit adultery

  4. Thou shall honor thy father and mother

  5. Thou shall not worship false Idols

  6. Thou shall not say the name of the Lord in vain

  7. Thou shall remember the Sabbath

  8. Thou shall not covet

  9. Thou shall not carve one self in the image of anything but what God has made thee

Sacraments of the Church

Justification for the Sacraments

The Sacraments are given to the Church to fulfil the mission of salvation and moral purity that God set us out to accomplish. The only way in which to do this is to participate in the Church and partake in the Seven Sacraments. These seven were given to the Church by the Word of God.

Seven Sacraments

Sacrament of Baptism

This is to be “conducted” out of subservience to God and to clean the believer of their natural sin. This is a requirement to partake in the Church and receive the Sacraments, and thus to go to Heaven.

Sacrament of Communion

This is to be “taken” every Friday in subservience to God and partake in his worship.

Sacrament of Confession

This is to be done once a month at Mass, on a Friday and is to be “sent” by letter to the Pope who will respond by forgiving you of your sins in the name of God, this can be done, and will be done at later dates by Priests and all others.

Sacrament of Penance

This is to be done at the same time in which you confess in the form that fits the sin committed. This can be in the form of donations to the Church, to those you harmed, apologies in the media or forums, etc.

Sacrament of Eucharist

This is the ability to go to Mass and partake in the Holy Communion. This is done by “posting” at the Mass.

Sacrament of Attendance

This is done by “posting” “present” at Mass. This is the ability of one to attend Mass and be a member of the Church.

Sacrament of Priesthood

This is the ability for one who is a member of the Church to become a member of the hierarchy in which they can serve and live a closer relationship with God.
