Introduction
to the Sacred Scriptures of the Holy Order
by Stanislaw Królewiec

The Holy Bible is the primary book of scripture of the Chavurah Bekorot, the community of Christians who live polyagmy, the law of all things in common, and all the commandments of the Bible. This means that every writing, whether sacred or otherwise, must conform to the teachings of the Bible in order to be accepted.

We do not, however, take the Protestant position that all of God's Word is revealed in the Bible and nowhere else, even though we are evangelical Christians in almost every other respect. We therefore accept a secondary canon of scriptures which has no plenary authority for anyone save those who are within our Order. We are therefore solely responsible for the secondary canon of writings that we accept as inspired.

We are not here to promote our secondary scriptures to Christendom or to the world generally, neither are we claiming an authority for them that is equal to the Bible. These scriptures are solely for the use of those who are members of our community and for those seeking to understand us. Accordingly we are not particularly interested in defending them against those who may feel disposed to attack them. If you do not like them, or do not believe they are inspired, please do not bother to write in to us - our purpose is not to convert you to them and we are not interested in getting into a pointless debate. It is up to you how you view these writings and to be satisfied in your own mind and heart about what you believe in. We will, however, happily discuss and defend the Bible since this Book is common to all Christendom and is the book through which God has providentially chosen to reveal His plan of salvation for all mankind. The secondary canon, by contrast, has a different purpose, viz. to amplify those parts of the Bible which do not go into any great depth, and is for the use of those who have already received Yahshua haMashiach (Jesus Christ) as their Lord and Saviour and are walking in the holy life in faith.

We are, of course, interested in answering the questions of those who are personally interested in these writings and who have a desire to implement them within a patriarchal Christian context.

The Holy Order has many diverse scriptures. However, we are only reproducing those which are connected with marriage and in particular with polygamy. If you are interested in the other practices of this Order, then we refer you to the Order's main home page.
