Recent chatter from several folks provoked a reminder: Virtual faith communities cannot provide the face-to-face fellowship we are all commanded to build. Radix Fidem is not a religion, but a meta-religion. It’s an approach to forming your own religion. We seek only to establish a better understanding of what religion is supposed to do. If your meat-space context of life does not permit building that fellowship outside of mainstream churches, then seek the Lord about where you can infiltrate and find you some real fellowship.
Some of you are able to hold out for something better, but Radix Fidem doesn’t come with rules to guide whether you should belong to a regular church somewhere. That’s a matter of your individual mission and calling. I once had hopes for building something more substantial, but it seems now obvious that cannot happen on any significant scale.
The reason is simple: In the current period of tribulation and turmoil, it is exceptionally difficult to build something so completely different from the existing establishment. Not impossible, but it is difficult enough that it’s hardly an expectation we could hold over each other. I’m going that route because that’s my calling. Don’t feel obliged to copy my efforts. Let’s take the long view and give God time to shake loose the bonds of religious organization that won’t survive the coming changes. We can talk more about how to build organizations later.
Right now, it’s better for at least some of you to infiltrate existing organizations, waiting until the time the Lord calls for more direct action. We should be infiltrating everything. And if you can get along for now without fellowship, that’s fine, too. You are the one who knows what God wants you to do.
