Come into our houses, let's become devout.
Please be very attentive, and listen to us:
To obey in faith is to submit freely to the word that has been heard, because its truth is guaranteed by God, who is Truth itself. *
This means we can give you clarity.
This means we can give you security.
We can distinguish between good and evil.
We can give you all the answers
and free you from sin.
Faith is the assurance of things hoped for.
It's the conviction of things not seen. *
And what you hope for is what we can tell you.
And please trust in us.
Don't forget we can give you eternal life.
And hey, after all it is the message of love,
the message of forgiveness.
Anyone can come to us who is in need,
as long as the needs serve us.
By the way, this thing called love
is of course a matter of definition.
And we can define it: It's man and woman.
And nothing more. This is simply not intended.
And if you want to proclaim our message,
please do it without a woman on your side.
We mean of course officially.
You can hide someone from time to time.
It has proven itself in some ways
to simply remain silent.
And to withdraw into some hiding place,
and just let years pass by.
All of this has been working so well for centuries.
