Orthodox Adanism, as opposed to Gosselevism or God’s Worship, is a branch of Adanism in which the God is said to have a double nature. This is called the doctrine of dualism, as opposed to monism. The nature of the Double Lord, as the Orthodox faith holds, is that the God is whole, double, and divided. The Double Lord’s nature is further described by the doctrines of Eleia and Mesdouro, the divine and continual grace which instilled Adanōs and instills the Saints, and worldly evil as a separated creation of the God. Orthodox Adanists believe that evil was necessary for the creation of free will to have meaning, and that humanity collectively chose evil over grace.
Orthodox Adanists believe that both before and after the prophet, Adanōs, the divine spirit of Eleia inhabited those who were spurred by ’the grace of the God’ to commit great acts upon the world. Those determined by Tanthes to be instilled with Eleia are remembered as saints within the faith. One other class of people are considered to touch, but not have, Eleia, particularly, the Primate of Tanthes upon election is believed to commune with Eleia for the tenure of his position, but is not seen as having the power of a Saint, merely the power necessarily afforded by the God as the successor of Adanōs as a prophet. ‘Prophet and Saint’, one of the styles of Adanōs, is also afforded to the Primate of Tanthes, however, Adanōs is believed to have been born instilled with ’the whole of Eleia’. Orthodox Adanists believe that the Primarch of Tanthes has special spiritual capacities as leader of the church. Some Orthodox Adanists believe that some figures, including the Blessed Magi, are ‘devolved’ the Eleia of the Primarch of Tanthes, or ‘sanctified in absence’, such as the hierarch of Orod.
