| Article 82-Savior | ||
| Canon 2513 | ||
| A Savior is a Hero, anointed by some higher supernatural power, who through his or her actions and moral courage helps save a group of people by conquering some kind of danger. Hence, a Religious Savior is a Hero who saves the world. | ||
 |
||
| Canon 2514 | ||
| As a Hero, a Savior must first fall from favor and respect within the community they ultimately save. This might be by their own actions, the actions and belief of others, or both. Thus a Savior must first become an outcast. | ||
|
||
| Canon 2515 | ||
| In accordance with the most ancient beliefs of all Religions and Cults, the most significant sign and tool provided by a Savior to help save people and conquer danger is divinely inspired knowledge rather than force. In other words, the hallmark of a valid Savior is the knowledge and ideas they bring that are powerful enough to withstand the physical obstinacy of evil. | ||
|
||
| Canon 2516 | ||
| By definition a Savior is proven by the divine knowledge they bring, their actions and moral courage, not by any claim. Therefore anyone who claims to be a Savior is automatically a fraud as such an action contradicts the self evidence and behaviour of a true Savior. | ||
|
||
| Canon 2517 | ||
| The method of anointment of a Savior by definition is a symbolic act such as kiss, an anointment of oil, the bestowing of a sacred gift or amulet, or all of these symbolic gestures. Hence, Savoir in Latin literally means “kiss”. | ||
|
||
| Canon 2518 | ||
| The absence of failure nullifies a candidate as a hero and therefore a Savior. A person who has never fallen from favor and respect within a community is called a “Star”. A Religious figure that is believed never to have failed or behaved in a negative manner is by default some supernatural deity and can never be regarded as a Savior. This is because it is physically, logically and morally impossible to live as a Homo Sapien with others and not make mistakes more than once in life. | ||
|
||
| Canon 2519 | ||
| In order to stop false Saviors, most Religions and some Cults hold certain prophecies as fundamental to be fulfilled in the event of the arrival of a true Savior. For some Religions and Cults, this list of criteria that a Savior must fulfil has now expanded to dozens and in some cases several hundred prophecies. | ||
|
||
| Canon 2520 | ||
| While the original intention of certain prophecy was to validate the authenticity of a Savior, several Religions and Cults have extended the list with such a range of extraordinary criteria that it is virtually impossible to consider how any one person might fulfil such a checklist. In turn, until such a checklist is met, the administration of the Religion or Cult remain in control. | ||
|
||
| Canon 2521 | ||
| There exists a wide variety of arguments concerning the fulfilment of prophecy and a Savior. However, if scripture is to be believed and a Savior is to be believed, then the fulfilment of any prophecy must be more than simply allegory it must exceed literal expectations. | ||
|
||
| Canon 2522 | ||
| While some Religions and Cults believe that one or more Saviors have appeared, several other Religions and Cults believe that a particular Savior is yet to arrive. The most significant of these Religious Saviors yet to appear include the Maitreya, Mahdi, Messiah, Saoshyant and Soter. | ||
