Spiritual Philosophy of Ecclesiology
Physicians Without Value™
 |
In the Bible, spiritual rather than physical breakdowns, as well as spiritual healings, are subjects of particular significance. Attention is drawn to the responsibility of natural Israel's leaders in these matters. "From the prophet even to the priest, each one (was) acting falsely" during Jeremiah’s day.

Anatomy of Spirituality™
Ecclesiology, as a Christian spiritual health & healing college, defines spiritual means that is based on the Bible's book of Romans 7:14, which clearly states: "KNOW THE LAW IS SPIRITUAL." All "spiritual means" employed must be based on the natural and spiritual laws that are found in the Bible and given to us by the Christian Biblical God.
Those who perform a healing ministry by spiritual means through prayer must continue to reflect the fruitages of the spirit found in Galatians 5:22, 23, which reflect the spirituality needed for all those in need of spiritual guidance.
You must shun the works of the flesh found in Galatians 5:19-21. Why? If you practice the works of the flesh, you will not inherit God’s Kingdom, but will suffer a spiritual and physical death. Your message must be pro-life. The "realm of all possibilities" is only possible through God, our creator and Heavenly Father.
The Mind of the Spirit
Jesus Christ said: "It is the spirit that is life-giving; the flesh is of no use at all. The sayings that I have spoken to you are spirit and are life" (John 6:63).
To the Christians in Galatia, the apostle Paul wrote: "The flesh is against the spirit in its desire, and the spirit against the flesh; for these are opposed to each other" (Galatians 5:17). Again Paul counsels: "He who is sowing with a view to his flesh will reap corruption from his flesh, but he who is sowing with a view to the spirit will reap everlasting life from the spirit" (Galatians 6:8).
God's Holy Spirit—his active force—can effectively root out unclean "fleshly desires" and the destructive domination of a sinful flesh (1 Peter 2:11). To break free from the bondage of unchristian inclinations, it is vital that you possess the assistance of God's spirit, for the apostle Paul felt compelled to write: "The minding of the flesh means death, but the minding of the spirit means life and peace" (Romans 8:6).
The Minding of the Spirit
What does it mean to "mind the spirit"? When Paul wrote about "the minding of the spirit," he used a Greek word that denotes "way of thinking, mind(-set), . . . aim, aspiration, striving." A related verb form means "to think, to be minded in a certain way." Thus, the "minding the spirit" denotes being empowered, controlled, dominated, or impelled by God's active force. It signifies that you willingly allow your thoughts, inclinations, and aspirations to come under the complete influence of God’s Holy Spirit. In its basic form, you allow yourself to be empowered by God's Holy Spirit.
(Psalm 46:10; Proverbs 15:28)
Teaching Authority
& Methods & Programs
All Ecclesiologists should be qualified to teach (Hebrews 5:12, 6:2; Romans 2: 17-20), including women (Titus 2:3-5; 2 Timothy 1:5; 3:14, 15), and all teachings should harmonize with one’s way of life (Romans 2:21-24), and, finally, all teaching authority comes from God (John 7:16, 8:28). Jesus taught with simple logic and reason, along with thought provoking questions, illustrations and figures of speech that were drawn from His many experiences that were familiar to his listeners (Matthew 6:25-30; 7:3-5; 7:24- 27; John 13:2-16).
Riddles and symbolic acts were, in addition, employed throughout the scriptures (Ezekiel 17:2; 1 Kings 11:30-32; Jeremiah 19:1- 12; 27:2; 28:10-14; Ezekiel 4:1; 5:4). Illustrations in the Old Testament were employed (2 Samuel 12:1-7; Isaiah 10:16; Jeremiah 18:3-10).
Teaching methods were systematically organized and arranged in an orderly fashion (1 Corinthians 14:40). Spiritual food was dispensed in a continuous, educational manner through its theological and spiritual programs, private and public group studies, counseling sessions, public assemblies and through various other means available that would enhance the process and methods of teaching (Acts 5:42; 20:20; 1Corinthians 14).
Unlike other religious institutions such as Scientology® (disclaimer) and Hallelujah Acres® (disclaimer) Ministers, Ecclesiology's Ministers must complete the post-secondary education required to qualify as Licensed Holistic Health & Healing Ministers, Spiritual Guides and Ecclesiologists.

Blood: The Rivers of Life™
"Let us cleanse ourselves from every defilement that contaminates either flesh or spirit" (2 Corinthians 7: 1)
"You are not to desecrate the land in which you live, since blood defiles the land" (Numbers 35:33)
Since blood is so intimately involved in all aspects of the living process, and the flesh is composed of billions of cells containing blood that supplies nourishment and oxygen to the body while it carries away cellular waste by-products excreted by the body, and also plays a major role in safeguarding the body against infections, you could say that the life of the flesh is in the blood.
Blood: The Rivers of Life™
"The life of the flesh is in the blood"(Leviticus 17:11,14)
Life could not continue in all flesh without blood, and blood could not continue to flow without life and the living principle. You could say that both are linked to each other until 'death do us part.'
The Foods We Eat
Christians need to be mindful that the foods we eat can "defile our flesh and pollute our blood." As Christians, we have a responsibility to maintain a clean conscience before God by avoiding the contamination of our bodily flesh. Why? Man and Woman were created in God's image (Genesis 1: 26), and everything that He created in His image was "very good" (Genesis 1:31).
to you, it shall be for food"
(Genesis 1:29)
Our Heavenly Father, in addition, gave man and woman their natural diet to eat in the book of Genesis 1:29, and God said: "Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in the which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed: to it shall be for food"—(ASV)
An excellent example, in relation to diet, was God's servant Daniel who refused to "defile himself and pollute his body by eating and drinking the portion of the king’s meat and wine" (Daniel 1: 8). In fact there was a physical ten day test that Daniel suggested to King Nebuchadnezzar, King of Babylon, which would prove Daniel and his companions more healthy eating "pulse and drinking water" (let them give us herbs—ABPS; and they give us of the vegetables—YLT) than the children who ate the King's polluted delicacies and wine. What were the results after this ten day test? Daniel 1: 15 states: "And at the end of then days their countenances (Daniel and his companions) appeared fairer and fatter in the flesh than all the children (children of Babylon) which did eat the portion of the king's meat."
Ecclesiology's food diet is unlike the diets of other religious or spiritual organizations that contaminate the flesh and pollute our blood, such as the Hallelujah Acres® (disclaimer) Diet and Lifestyle or the eastern religious philosophies on the so-called healing foods or the Scientology® (disclaimer) belief that the mind is the most important factor to consider and not the type of foods we eat.
Ecclesiology's food diet strictly follows the Scriptural guidelines as set out in the Christian Holy Bible found at Genesis 1:29 including various other Scriptures, especially those that relate to proper food combining, specifically combining protein flesh with high carbohydrate grains such as manna and quails that the Israelites ate in the desert for forty years. The Israelites where commanded to eat manna in the morning and quail for the evening meal.
From the Scriptures, Christians can be mindful of the wisdom of eating a vegetarian diet, which is the original natural diet for all men and women.
There are other sources of pollution besides spiritual pollution that we must cleanse ourselves, according to the Scriptures, and that is defiling and contaminating the flesh of our body such as the foods we eat.
The present day world is witnessing a morbid obesity rate in people as never before observed in previous centuries. As Christians, we have a responsibility to maintain a clean conscience before God by avoiding the contamination of our bodily flesh and blood. Why? Because we were created in God's image (Genesis 1: 26), and everything that He created in His image was "very good" (Genesis 1:31).
