Seekers of Biblical Truth

From DevilshireWiki

The public face of everything rotten at the core of the Devlin family. The Seekers of Biblical truth are a seemingly benign offshoot of some protestant denomination. The Seekers are not a large church and have less than a hundred members. However, the town's most prominent family, the Devlins, are leaders in the church and the town itself was founded by Seekers fleeing religious persecution. Some of the tenets of Seeker belief include:

The truth of the Bible is not skin-deep. One must study and learn the hidden secrets of the prophets in order to understand the truth:

• God created the bee to pollinate the flowers and the cow to bring forth milk. So, too, did God create man to govern the people and woman to govern the home. They are equal but there is a separation of responsibility.
• The holy Mother, the Virgin Mary, and the spiritual bride of Christ, Mary Magdelene, are to be venerated.
• There is no trinity. God and Jesus Christ are separate beings and the Holy Ghost is actually the visual manifestation of angelic servants of the Lord.
• To be saved one must be baptized. However, baptism must take place in a natural source of running water.
• Religion should guide but not govern the affairs of man.
• Love is of God and cannot be wrong, no matter the form it takes.
• Communion is not practiced.
