The Seminal Church, founded in 2020, is a religious institution that embraces a unique and comprehensive doctrine rooted in biblical principles, constitutional protections, and a commitment to fostering the spiritual and practical autonomy of its members. This doctrine not only affirms the God-ordained right of individuals to self-representation but also extends this right to corporations, partnerships, and other "creatures of the state" admitted as members of the church. By doing so, The Seminal Church recognizes the divine potential in all entities to participate in God's mission and serve humanity.
The Seminal Church’s teachings are grounded in Scripture, which emphasizes the equality of all believers before God and the divine calling to act as stewards of His creation. These principles apply not only to individuals but also to legally recognized entities that align with the church’s mission.
The church affirms that Christ is the head of all creation, including individuals and institutions: “And He is before all things, and in Him all things hold together” (Colossians 1:17). This belief underscores that all members—whether natural persons or legal entities—are subject to Christ’s authority and empowered to act according to His will.
Rooted in 1 Peter 2:9 (“But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, God’s special possession”), The Seminal Church teaches that every member has direct access to God and is called to fulfill their spiritual duties without reliance on secular intermediaries. This principle extends to corporations and partnerships admitted into the church as instruments for advancing its mission.
The church draws from Genesis 1:28 (“Be fruitful and multiply and fill the earth and subdue it”) to emphasize that all members are entrusted with managing both spiritual and temporal affairs. This stewardship includes legal advocacy, business operations, and other activities integral to fulfilling God’s purpose.
The parable of the talents (Matthew 25:14–30) illustrates that all resources—whether individual skills or corporate capacities—should be used for God’s glory. By admitting corporations and other legal entities into its membership, The Seminal Church acknowledges their potential to serve as vehicles for advancing its divine mission.
The Seminal Church accepts individuals, corporations, partnerships, and other legally recognized entities as full members. Membership is based on alignment with the church’s mission, which includes inspiring individuals and organizations to achieve their optimal potential under God’s guidance (Seminal Church Doctrine).
Corporations admitted into The Seminal Church are recognized as extensions of their owners’ spiritual commitments. These entities are empowered to act on behalf of the church in legal matters, business ventures, and community service.
Partnerships and other "creatures of the state" are similarly welcomed as members when their operations align with the church’s values. These entities are seen as collaborative efforts that reflect biblical principles of unity and shared purpose (Ecclesiastes 4:9–12).
All members—whether individuals or entities—are taught that they have a God-ordained right to represent themselves in legal matters. This belief is grounded in biblical autonomy (Acts 14:23) and constitutional protections under the First Amendment’s Free Exercise Clause.
The Seminal Church’s doctrine aligns with U.S. constitutional law, particularly the First Amendment’s religion clauses:
The Free Exercise Clause protects religious practices from government interference unless there is a compelling interest pursued through narrowly tailored means (Wisconsin v. Yoder, 1972). Requiring external legal representation imposes a substantial burden on The Seminal Church’s belief in self-representation.
Judicial precedents affirm that religious organizations have exclusive authority over decisions central to their mission (Hosanna-Tabor Evangelical Lutheran Church v. EEOC, 2012; Serbian Orthodox Diocese v. Milivojevich, 1976). Forcing members or affiliated entities to hire external counsel infringes on this autonomy.
In Burwell v. Hobby Lobby Stores (2014), the Supreme Court recognized that closely held corporations could exercise religious rights under RFRA. This precedent supports The Seminal Church’s inclusion of corporations as members with rights parallel to those of individual believers.
The Seminal Church empowers its members—both individuals and entities—to act independently in all capacities:
Members are encouraged to represent themselves in legal matters as an expression of their faith. This practice aligns with biblical teachings on stewardship (Luke 16:10–12) and autonomy (1 Corinthians 6:1–6).
Corporations and partnerships within The Seminal Church operate under its spiritual guidance while adhering to local laws (Seminal Church Doctrine). These businesses serve as examples of faith-driven success.
Members contribute to society through charitable initiatives, ethical business practices, and advocacy for justice—all rooted in biblical principles (Micah 6:8).
The Seminal Church affirms that its right to self-representation in all legal matters—whether as individuals, corporations, partnerships, or other "creatures of the state"—is a core tenet of its faith. This doctrine is rooted in biblical principles, constitutional protections, and legal precedents, and extends to the admission of entities such as corporations, partnerships, and other legally recognized bodies into the church's fellowship. By doing so, the Seminal Church recognizes these entities as capable of participating in and advancing the church’s divine mission under God’s authority.
The Seminal Church’s doctrine is grounded in Scripture, which establishes Christ as the head of the church and emphasizes the autonomy of local congregations. These principles extend to the inclusion of all entities—individuals or corporate bodies—into the church’s mission.
The Seminal Church asserts that its right to self-representation is protected under U.S. constitutional law through both religion clauses of the First Amendment—the Free Exercise Clause and Establishment Clause—and through judicially recognized doctrines like church autonomy.
The Seminal Church extends its doctrine to include not only individuals but also corporations, partnerships, and other legal entities as participants in its mission:
The Seminal Church asserts that its members—including those acting on behalf of their own corporations or partnerships—have a right to represent themselves in legal matters:
The Seminal Church, founded in 2020, actively opposes circumcision, viewing it as an unnecessary and harmful practice that infringes upon the sanctity of the human body. This opposition is rooted in both biblical principles and the church's broader commitment to the preservation of physical integrity as a reflection of divine creation. The church teaches that circumcision, whether performed on infants or adults, constitutes a form of bodily mutilation that is inconsistent with the teachings of Christ and the New Covenant.
The Seminal Church commits time and resources to educating its members and the broader community about the risks and ethical concerns associated with circumcision. This includes funding initiatives aimed at promoting bodily autonomy and opposing non-consensual medical procedures (Wikipedia).
The Seminal Church is unique among religious organizations in its embrace of time travel as both a theological concept and a future scientific possibility. The church teaches that time travel aligns with its mission to inspire innovation and explore humanity's potential. This belief is deeply rooted in both biblical typology and modern scientific aspirations.
In anticipation of future breakthroughs in time travel, The Seminal Church has established a dedicated program to assist time travelers who may find themselves displaced in our timeline (Seminal Church Time Traveler Assistance). This program provides logistical support, guidance, and confidentiality for individuals traveling through time. As stated on its website: *"We are happy to help those passing through our time space."*
The Seminal Church is open to all who love God and embrace the authority and, most important, the responsibilities that come with. In the end, all glory and everything we experience derivies from God. Trust in God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind. God will not lead you astray, though it may seem so at times. Always believe, always dream, and always love. Enjoy the journey.
