Transcript of the Sermon on the "Is slavery necessary for salvation?" given at the Imperial Chapel on CVA station 20000 Isotopes, 5KG-PY, Providence, Date: 14-07-105
GÇ£Is slavery necessary for salvation?.GÇ¥
Obedience to God proves our faith for Him and faith is necessary to please God and if our faith is genuine and true, we will live a life characterized by righteousness set for us by God.
The first obligation of the faithful is to spread the truth to the uttermost parts of creation and to do so the faithful must be spiritually worthy to spread it.
We obey GodGÇÖs commands because we have to and this is easier if we want to. We are enabled to obey because of our faith and obedience.
When we obey God, we can live a life deeply in God.
An AmarrianGÇÖs testimony of holiness is a strong witness that God is at work in the world.
How much of the Amarrian life is grace, and how much of it is obedience?
There are controversies about the process of conversion involving slavery and the role of obedience and effort in it.
Human effort is needed to obtain the holiness and obedience without which we will not know God.
God fulfills every resolve for his glory, every work of faith by his power. So this grace is experienced as a power from God.
God fulfills every faithful resolve by his power and hearing God is one of the greatest keys to living the Amarrian life.
Slavery is meant as an immediate obedience that fulfills GodGÇÖs commandment to its fullest measure. Slavery does not seek to comply to the minimal standard of God but pursues total fulfillment.
Implicit obedience starts, for every one of us, by listening to the word of God.
Until you attend to this responsibility first, you will be constantly frustrated in your inability to understand why the Amarrians see the need for slavery among heathens. An example is faithless Amarrians that want the benefits of living with God without making the commitment to his commandments.
The joy of following God is found only in abandoning oneself to every commandment of God. The key is in hearing and obeying. Oh what joy to hear his word and do it! The benefits are profound! Obedience gained either through slavery or embracing the faith willfully unlocks the graces of God.
God gives his graces to the one who is devoted to obedience.
For those who start out their journey in faith in slavery should not think of it as their final destination. Slavery instills obedience and a life of obedience coupled with instruction in faith leads to the glory of God.
Your most humble of servants

Perhaps all Amarr should place themselves voluntarily into slavery just so that they can be saved so much more effectively.. |

All Amarrians are glad "slaves" to her holiness Jamyl Sarum. Amarrians are free and not considered slaves because we choose to serve God, we don't have to be forced to do the right thing which is to obey god's authority incarnate in the Empress. |

Slavery is a cultural catastrophe of a massive scale.
How many cultures were ruined by it? Families separated? People killed?
To understand that you don't have to be smart or enlightened. You don't need to be a philosopher dressed in a fancy robe with gold decorations. You need to be brave inside. Have courage to admit your mistakes. Look at the world with your own eyes. Be able to understand those who don't have as many opportunities as you do.
Can Amarrians admit that their fancy gold mansions is the most important thing they have in their posession that keeps them in comfort before they "ascend" to some uncertain place where life is even more comfortable and servants are even more appeasable? Do the moneybags have courage to reduce themselves to a slave, disconnect themselves from their loved ones and live that life for at least a couple of months? Will they last a week under the whips, poor living conditions, restricted freedom and **** for food?
Or will they hide behind fancy words and their cannon fodder?
When you do things right, people won't be sure you've done anything at all.
