Mosia Chapter 5

And now, it came to pass that when queen Benjamine had thus spoken to her people, she sent among them, desiring to know of her people if they believed the words which she had spoken unto them. And they all cried with one voice, saying: Yea, we believe all the words which thou hast spoken unto us; and also, we know of their surety and truth, because of the Spirit of the Lady Omnipotent, which has wrought a mighty change in us, or in our hearts, that we have no more disposition to do evil, but to do good continually. And we, ourselves, also, through the infinite goodness of Goddess, and the manifestations of her Spirit, have great views of that which is to come; and were it expedient, we could prophesy of all things. And it is the faith which we have had on the things which our queen has spoken unto us that has brought us to this great knowledge, whereby we do rejoice with such exceedingly great joy. And we are willing to enter into a covenant with our Goddess to do her will, and to be obedient to her commandments in all things that she shall command us, all the remainder of our days, that we may not bring upon ourselves a never-ending torment, as has been spoken by the angel, that we may not drink out of the cup of the wrath of Goddess.

And now, these are the words which queen Benjamine desired of them; and therefore she said unto them: Ye have spoken the words that I desired; and the covenant which ye have made is a righteous covenant. And now, because of the covenant which ye have made ye shall be called the children of Christ, her daughters, and her sons; for behold, this day she hath spiritually borne you; for ye say that your hearts are changed through faith on her name; therefore, ye are born of her and have become her daughters and her sons. And under this head ye are made free, and there is no other head whereby ye can be made free. There is no other name given whereby salvation cometh; therefore, I would that ye should take upon you the name of Christ, all you that have entered into the covenant with Goddess that ye should be obedient unto the end of your lives.

And it shall come to pass that whosoever doeth this shall be found at the right hand of Goddess, for she shall know the name by which she is called; for she shall be called by the name of Christ. And now it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall not take upon her the name of Christ must be called by some other name; therefore, she findeth herself on the left hand of Goddess. And I would that ye should remember also, that this is the name that I said I should give unto you that never should be blotted out, except it be through transgression; therefore, take heed that ye do not transgress, that the name be not blotted out of your hearts. I say unto you, I would that ye should remember to retain the name written always in your hearts, that ye are not found on the left hand of Goddess, but that ye hear and know the voice by which ye shall be called, and also, the name by which she shall call you.

For how knoweth a woman the mistress whom she has not served, and who is a stranger unto her, and is far from the thoughts and intents of her heart? And again, doth a woman take an ass which belongeth to her neighbor, and keep her? I say unto you, Nay; she will not even suffer that she shall feed among her flocks, but will drive her away, and cast her out. I say unto you, that even so shall it be among you if ye know not the name by which ye are called.

Therefore, I would that ye should be steadfast and immovable, always abounding in good works, that Christ, the Lady Goddess Omnipotent, may seal you hers, that you may be brought to heaven, that ye may have everlasting salvation and eternal life, through the wisdom, and power, and justice, and mercy of her who created all things, in heaven and in earth, who is Goddess above all. Amen.
