Arrendis: Among the particularly well known bits, only a few are focused primarily on Reclaiming. Book II, for example, focuses on the effects of the absence of God and on the coming of the eschaton, with nary a mention of Reclaiming. The book of Missions gives many declarations that, again, are not about the Reclaiming. There are the many declarations of the Prophets on the duties of service to the Emperor. The book of Gheinok and the Epitoth both focus on Amarr before the declaration of reclaiming. Even the cultivation of mankind rhetoric that Samira points to is not explicitly about the Policy of Reclaiming. There is also the declaration of the Amash Akura, on service, that I in fact just quoted a portion of in my previous post. The most applicable to this discussion, off the top of my head, though, is the code of demeanor in book one, which warns against undisciplined free thought.
“The Wrath of God is Immense. His Justice is Swift and Decisive. His Tolerance is Limited.
Be Careful. Pure Thought is the Instigator of Sin.
Be Watchful. Free Thought is the Begetter of Disorder.
Be Respectful. Uniform Thought is the Way of Life.
The Mercy of our Emperor is Limitless. His Rule is Benign and Righteous. His Love is Perpetual.”
And then there is the vast majority of the scripture that consists of rather boring declarations of things like the proper procedures for the organization of Empire and the proper codes of behavior.
But this is all entirely beside the point that it’s the very idea of constructing a narrative out of any particular set of quotes that is problematic. When Mizhara accused me of diminishing the role of scripture, she is correct. The view of scripture as immutable timeless commands rather than a record of past declarations of divine will is a specifically Tetrimonic idea. They would have Amarr prioritize old scripture over new revelation from God, which is simply not how the rest of the Empire functions. The Theology Council would be a significantly different place if it did not have the job of constantly vetting new additions to the divine word.
If you are contesting my statement that divine policy commands change over time, I have already referenced the issues of the Moral Reforms repeatedly, which provide the most developed example of large scale divine policy repeal. On a more minor note, there is also the recent addition of scripture concerning the souls of Capsuleers.
