Writings of Paxism: Difference between revisions

The Bas Magdamar is technically not a separate writing per se. The term Bas Magdamar was meant to mean the Ichtmar, the Vagumar and additions approved by the Council of Bingol together. Nevertheless, Yehudists, Obedists, and Ipsitists feel that the additions made under High King Melkezedek are separate writings altogether. These additions are known as the Bingolian or Melkezedekian additions. These additions are contained within a single book called the Government. The Government is mainly concerned with religious government. In the past people saw the religious government as part of the secular government. It contains the following chapters (these chapters were added later for readability, but this used to be one single text):

 

# Composition: This states that the Magisterium shall consist of Magisters. Magisters shall have the power to interpret and apply scripture as well as rule of religious cases.

# Hierarchy: Magisters shall consist of a hierarchy with the Senior Magisters having the right to train and induct new Magisters. Senior Magisters will be appointed by a High Magister who has control over the administrative and religious affairs of a Diocese. High Magisters are appointed by the Council of High Magisters. The Council of High Magisters has power over the entire religion and has the final say on all religious matters. It is led and chaired by the Grand Magister whom it elects.
