No Growing Worldview

Including all minor denominations of Protestantism, there isn’t a single religion or worldview with positive retention growth in the United States. (The few religions that are growing in raw numbers are due to temporary high birth rates and religion switching.) After analyzing the specific reasons why people leave each faith, the same reason is ultimately given: they do not feel loved (John 13:35). While all of these religions preach love, US citizens tend to feel controlled and ignored, like a pawn on a chessboard, not truly valued and loved. Notice how the 2 religions with higher retention than Christianity both put a high value on family unity. By more fully obeying the biblical commands for love–full consensus, living together, unity in one’s calling, etc.–we believe our denomination will be the only one capable of growth.

AI Job Displacement

We’re the only solution for the upcoming Post-work Society. 70% of US adults, including robotics and AI experts like Elon Musk and Sam Altman, believe that robots and AI will automate most jobs, leaving the majority jobless. While solutions for this usually involve politics and universal income, Christians naturally are skeptical of having their entire livelihood controlled by secular politicians, and there are few biblical systems that can handle global unemployment. We are creating the world’s first Christian system to solve this problem. Our solution for solving basic needs is teaching people to prioritize subsistence skills like farming and construction in close communities, like all of human history (I Thess 4:11-12). Our solution for people’s lost sense of purpose is found in being a Body Part in the Body of Christ (Rom 12:4-5; Eph 2:10).

Church Fathers on Body Parts

While the early church did not divide into 12 Body Parts, this is because the Body Parts’ denominations weren’t created yet (see Gemstone Foundations). Unlike modern churches, the early church fathers unanimously supported (Consensus Patrum) categorizing individuals based on their spiritual gifts and uniting them as an efficient Body of Christ. To our knowledge, none of the early church fathers would have supported the modern notion that a few elders, priests, and deacons should do all the work for a church and the rest listen once per week. They believed each member was vital to the growth of the Body of Christ:

1. [35] Clement of Rome: “Let our whole body, then, be preserved in Christ Jesus; and let every one be subject to his neighbor, according to [his] special gift…”
2. [130] Irenaeus: “For as a compacted body of many members is made one by the joints… so also the Church, being composed of many members, is yet but one body…”
3. [150] Clement of Alexandria: “Let each one be subject to his neighbor, according to the specific gift he has received.”
4. [210] Cyprian of Carthage: “No bishop is a ‘bishop of bishops’: each has his own right of judgment; matters are settled in council.”
5. [347] John Chrysostom: “The spirit, then, is the supply. But the joint is the communicator. For when the spirit…touches the joint, it gives the sensation to all.”
6. [354] St. Augustine: “In the body there are different functions, but one life…Does the finger live when the heart is removed? No…There is a distribution of gifts…”
7. [375] Apostolic Constitutions: “Even if a man be a layperson, if he be experienced in the Word and reverent in his character, let him teach; for ‘they shall all be taught of God.'”
8. [4th Century] Ambrosiaster: “In the beginning, it was granted to all to preach and to baptize…But once the church began to cover all places… it was established differently.”

Daily Meetings

While many Christians choose to not meet daily with their church, there are many in church history who believe it is healthy:

1. [347] St. John Chrysostom: “Tell me, if you were to go but once to the church, would that be enough to make you a Christian? No, for you must be there every day…”
2. Co-living: Read our Co-living Endorsements to see modern examples of various types of Trinitarian Christians opting to meet daily.
3. [210] St. Cyprian of Carthage: “As we say, ‘Give us this day our daily bread,’ we pray that this bread be given to us daily…”
4. Daily Mass: Some Catholics, Orthodox, and Lutherans meet together every day for the Eucharist.
5. Daily Office: Some Anglicans, Catholics, and Orthodox meet daily to hear prayers and read the Word.

Revival & Restoration

More than what other humans think, God gives us supernatural revelation as a sign (I Cor 14:22):

1. 500 Years: There’s a major change every 500 yrs: Pentecost (33), Chalcedonian Schism (451), Great Schism (1054), Protestant Reformation (1517), and Synergy Revival (2026).
2. Dream: Our founder had a confirmed dream (Job 33:14-16; Acts 2:17) to found a new movement to remove extra Body Parts from the church’s foundation (I Cor 3:10-14).
3. Heralds: God heralds His will (Amos 3:6-7), and many modern Pentecostal prophets believe in an upcoming revival for church government (I Cor 14:29; Joel 2:28).

Small Churches

While we believe it’s good to meet together in large groups, like once per week on Sunday, it’s vital to fellowship in smaller groups to build godly love:

1. House Churches: Organizations like the Underground Network and LK10 limit each church to a number between 10-50, like our churches of 12 and Resprings Co-living.
2. Early Church: The first churches met in houses which usually housed 20-40 people. This would be like our Solid Food churches with wives and children.
3. Small Groups: Many nondenominational and evangelical churches meet once during the weekday in a group usually smaller than 20.
4. Yoido: This is the 2nd largest church in the world, with over 800,000 members. They strongly believe in cell groups of 10-15 members for primary spiritual growth.

Rule by Christians

While we believe in adhering to all laws of any secular nation we are in (Rom 13:1), that doesn’t mean God wants us to be yoked to non-believers (II Cor 6:14-17). We believe in a Unitocracy (defined later), and there are many similar, existing beliefs:

1. Majority View: The majority of Christians believe that being under a secular government is not God’s final will.
2. National Church: The primary theologian of England and Anglicanism Richard Hooker believed that the lawmakers of a land needed to be Christian.
3. Theonomy: Many Evangelicals, Calvinists, Thomists, and Pentecostals argue that the secular nation should uphold biblical laws.
4. Christian State: Many countries have Christianity as their official religion, and their laws and execution are heavily influenced by a denomination.
5. Covenantal Government: The MA Bay Colony were Puritans who believed only church members could vote and the laws must abide by Old Testament Law.
6. Church Fathers: They generally saw the church as a “divine polity,” where Christians held dual citizenship in their local country and in God’s Kingdom.

Concepts

Body Parts

This section details why it’s biblical to divide every Christian into 12 Body Parts.

Christ’s Model

The very last thing the Lord did before ascending was to commission the 11 (Matt 28:16,19) and to command the 11 to wait until finding the 12th (Acts 1:4,14,26). If this model is His final words, shouldn’t Christians care to imitate it? Immediately after the 12 were gathered in “one place,” God gave them the power of the Holy Spirit (Acts 2:1-4). Christ commands that His “one body” be led by 12 men with unique spiritual gifts (Rom 12:4-8; I Cor 12:4-13). While God can use a church that hoards power for 1 man, if 12 is the number of government in the Old Testament (Gen 17:20; Ex 24:4), for the early church (Mk 3:14), and in heaven (Rev 12:12,14,21; Rev 22:2), then surely it is for our new covenantal era (Matt 5:17; Heb 8:6).

Christ is the Head

We believe our church system is one of the only that truly puts Christ as Head (Eph 4:15; 5:23). Although the church fathers taught, “No bishop is a ‘bishop of bishops’,” most all churches have 1 autocratic leader that functionally replaces Christ as head over other elders: Catholic’s “earthly representative of Christ“, Orthodoxy’s “first among equals“, a Protestant’s “lead pastor,” etc. The early church concept of an overseer is always plural, never singular (Acts 20:28; Tit 1:5,7): we see multiple overseers working together in one city (Phil 1:1). We as “virgins” are not called to be Christ’s temporary replacement (Matt 25:1-6), and those who do not care about His status won’t be with Him (Matt 25:8-12). Christ’s Headship is so important because it’s the only model where the top leaders of an organization must unite in true love through consensus (I Cor 1:10; Phil 2:2).

Necessity of Body Parts

In addition to Christ’s model, Paul goes into detail as to why dividing into Body Parts is not only efficient, but required to be a church:

1. Assumption: A person cannot say he is not a Body Part when the Bible assumes all people are a specific Part (I Cor 12:15-16).
2. God’s Choice: God Himself chooses the Body Part of each person; a person cannot decide for himself (I Cor 12:18). (Yet, only a person can know the Spirit’s call in his life.)
3. Destiny: The word “arranged” [etheto] (I Cor 12:18) translates to divine fixing (Acts 1:7) and divine destiny (I Thess 5:9), which is different from a mind’s opinions (Rom 12:2).
4. Working Properly: God says each Body Part member (I Cor 12:12) needs to be joined by Joints so they will be “working properly” (Eph 4:16).
5. Body Analogy: A physical body cannot have 5 eyes and no ears, but a pair of eyes and a pair of ears (I Cor 12:16).

Purpose of Body Parts

This church revolves around the concept of the “Body of Christ” and assigning one of 12 spiritual Body Parts and various spiritual gifts to individuals (Rom 12:5-6; I Cor 12:12), but why is this necessary? Instead of filling a church with as many as possible so a few can make all the decisions, we believe every Christian is valuable enough to serve (I Cor 14:26):

1. Unused Gifts: God says “each” has unique spiritual gifts (Eph 4:7; I Cor 12:7), but most churches only utilize the gifts of their leaders.
2. Less Suffering: When any person’s gifts are not used, the whole body suffers (I Cor 12:21,26).
3. Godly Bodies: A godly Body does not have 7 Eyes or 10 Feet, but a fixed, finite number of Parts (I Cor 12:17-18).
4. Gift vs Action: While each person has a uniquely gifted Part (I Cor 12:18-20,29-30), such as teacher, any non-teacher is still allowed to teach, just not focus their ministry on it.

Body Part Analogies

For much of human history, people talked about Body Parts as if they were anthropomorphic, not “I have seen” but “my eyes have seen” (Is 6:5; I Sam 17:47). Although society has moved away from that, God wants us to revisit the way He speaks (Is 6:10) because it clarifies how each person is unique like the uniqueness of body parts (I Corinthians 12:14,21). We must refer to ourselves as Body Part “members” because that’s how God refers to us (I Cor 12:27), to remind us that not everyone does every function (Rom 12:4-5). The following explains how God’s Word describes each spiritual Body Part:

1. Joints: Physical joints connect and control. Similarly, the leaders of the Body join Parts together (Eph 4:16) and tell them how to grow (Col 2:19).
   1. Ligaments: These are connective tissues within joints. They have a similar purpose to the Joints, but they are not prophetic nor apostolic (Col 2:19; see syndesmō in Eph 4:3).
2. Mouth: It physically and spiritually includes the roles of the Tongue and Lips (Job 33:2; Ps 66:14) while uniquely holding the power of the prophet (Matt 13:35; Acts 3:21).
   1. Tongue: They represent training (Acts 2:11), including self-building (I Cor 14:2,4-5). They also represent palatibility of new knowledge (Heb 6:4-5; I Pet 2:2-3; Ps 34:8).
   2. Lips: They represent communal speech: training through songs of praise (Ps 63:3; Heb 13:15). A worship band helps prophecy (I Sam 10:5).
3. Nose: The breathed Word (II Tim 3:16) gave us life through our nostrils (Gen 2:7; Acts 17:25). It searches for knowledge (Gen 27:27; Job 39:25) for guidance (Job 41:2).
4. Right Hand: The right hand represents strong power (Mark 14:62). division with false groups (Heb 4:12), promoting justice (Heb 12:2; Rev 20:12), and subjugation (I Pet 3:22).
   1. Arm: Arms represent strength, usually for attacking large groups: the wicked and proud (Luke 1:51; Ps 10:15), enemies of Israel (Ps 77:15), Egypt (Acts 13:17), etc.
5. Torso: We embrace and hug intimately with our chest (John 13:23; Acts 20:37). Torso’s also have breasts to give milk to Baby Synergians (I Pet 2:2).
6. Skin: Spiritual touch restores health (Matt 9:21), confirms one’s calling (Mk 10:13,16), strengthens with power (II Tim 1:6), and establishes their purpose (Acts 8:17; I Pet 5:10).
7. Eyes: They take in God’s light so we can spiritually see goodness (Luke 11:33-36; Gen 1:4). “Seeing” is judging right from wrong (Job 14:3; Gen 6:5,8; Pr 15:3).
8. Ears: They represent listening and data (Pr 12:15). They seek truth over tradition (Matt 13:9,15), especially from the Spirit instead of tradition (Is 50:4; I Cor 2:13).
9. Heart: As it beats consistently and its blood sustains life (Jer 4:19; Lev 17:11), it is the core aspect of our beliefs (Matt 6:21; Rom 10:9-10), needing exhortation (Heb 3:12-13).
10. Legs: They “stand firm”, representing tenacity in one’s beliefs (Rom 5:2; Rom 14:4,10) and remembering tradition (Heb 12:1; II Thess. 2:15) when facing evil (Eph 6:13).
11. Left Hand: It helps the poorest and neediest through compassion (I John 3:17-18; Matt 6:3), representing weaker power (Gen 48:13-14).
    1. Finger: Fingers represent little power needed, usually to help individuals: their burdens (Matt 23:4), healing (Mark 7:33), exorcisms (Luke 11:20), relief (Luke 16:24), etc.
12. Feet: It prepares the foundation (Matt 3:3): being sent to evangelize and baptize those who don’t ask (Acts 13:24-25; Rom 10:14-15,20) and haven’t heard (Rom 15:20-21).
13. Head: Our Head, face, or brain is Jesus Christ (Eph 1:22; 5:23). Only Jesus can be our President or Vicar, (Col 1:18). Only He can direct His Bride to grow (Col 2:19).

Red Letters

We know that the Bible says to unite as individual Body Parts (I Cor 12:12; Rom 12:4-5), but many want to see how specifically Jesus talks about the Body Parts. Anything that Jesus specifically said is known as His Red Letters because older Bibles emphasized His Words with red ink. If the God of the universe only conveys Himself infallibly through a few short Gospels, we should care deeply about each of His Words, and this includes Body Parts:

1. Joints: Jesus says marriage is the joining of 2 as 1 (Matt 19:6) and that 2 should agree [symphōneō] when praying (Matt 18:19).
2. Mouth: Jesus says we live on the oracles from God’s mouth (Matt 4:4) and that prophets speak through their spiritual mouths (Matt 13:35).
3. Nose: Jesus physically breathed on His disciples to give them the Holy Spirit (John 20:22), which guided them in biblical truth (John 16:13).
4. Right Hand: Jesus said He will be at the Father’s right hand, representing the Father’s power (Matt 26:64).
5. Torso: Jesus tells the story of the Prodigal Son, whom the father lovingly runs and hugs the son as a show of familial care (Luke 15:20).
6. Skin: Although He didn’t have to, Jesus physically touched people to give them back a purpose in their life (Matt 8:3,15).
7. Eyes: Jesus said to spiritually see is to understand and perceive (Matt 13:14-16).
8. Ears: Jesus often said, “He who has ears, let him hear” to exhort people to listen closely and try to understand (Matt 13:9).
9. Heart: Jesus talks often about the heart as what guides a man (Matt 12:34).
10. Legs: Jesus talks about the power of standing against external forces (Matt 12:25; Mark 13:14).
11. Left Hand: Jesus says the left hand gives to the needy despite how much power it gives oneself (Matt 6:2-3).
12. Feet: Jesus washes His disciples’ feet as a sign that the greatest should serve the least (John 13:14-16).

Revelations

Revelations are extrabiblical knowledge directly given by the Holy Spirit (I Cor 14:6,30-31) that shouldn’t be forbidden (I Cor 14:39) but that also should be ordered as less important than biblical exegesis (I Cor 14:40). It is not required that all Synergians be in consensus on Revelations, although it is encouraged. The purpose of revelations are to build each other’s faith (I Cor 14:26), but we must remember to not take this information as scientific, validated, or already in consensus.

Body Part Summary

Simple Part Summary

Understanding everything about each Part can be a lot to process. Here’s a simple understanding of each Body Part, based on that part’s Ministry:

1. Joint’s Unity: Connect the Body Parts (Eph 4:16) through apostleship and administration (I Cor 12:28). There’s great power in godly unity (Matt 18:19-20).
   1. Ligament’s Administration: These are a subset of Joints who don’t have apostolic power but do administrate (Col 2:19; see syndesmos).
2. Mouth’s Alliances: Grow the Body’s power through prophetic signs (I Cor 14:6), partnerships (Phil 1:3-5), and training in the Word (Matt 28:20).
   1. Tongue/Lip’s Training: These are a subset of Mouths (Job 33:2) who cannot prophecy but are tasked with instructing and guiding (I Cor 14:19,21).
3. Nose’s Knowledge: Searches and transmits deeper knowledge of God’s Word (Acts 17:11; II Tim 3:16) through mature believer teachings (Acts 2:42).
4. Right Hand’s Leadership: Coordinate the Body in a purposeful direction through zealous leadership (Rom 12:8,11).
5. Torso’s Belonging: Ensure everyone feels like they belong (I Thess 5:11) through hospitality (Rom 12:13), affection (III John 1:15), and theology (I John 3:7).
6. Skin’s Identity: Help Christians find their true calling (I Cor 12:4-7) through assistance (Rom 15:1-2) for peak efficiency (Eph 5:16).
7. Eye’s Judiciary: As the light creator of the Body (Matt 6:22), the Eyes use their light to judge right from wrong, as if on God’s throne (John 3:19-21; Pr 20:8; Ezek 10:1-2,12).
8. Ear’s Feedback: Have compassion on all: God’s messages (I Cor 2:13), the Body’s feedback (I Cor 1:10), and nonbelievers’ questions (I Cor 9:22).
9. Heart’s Building: The Heart builds up the body (I Kings 8:17-18; Eph 4:16) through admonishment of sins (Heb 3:12-13) and hard work (I Thess 5:11-12; II Thess 3:11-12).
10. Leg’s Defense: Defend the Body from Satan’s attacks (Eph 6:12-13) through policing (I Tim 4:8; Luke 22:38) and apologetics (Jude 1:3-4).
11. Left Hand’s Restoration: Shield the weak (Eph 6:16) and restore them to a healthy state (II Cor 13:9,11). People stay at church if they get more than give (I John 3:17-18).
12. Feet’s Multiplying: Multiply the size of the body (II Cor 9:10; Heb 6:14; Acts 2:47) through preaching, evangelism, and baptism (Rom 10:14-15; I Cor 1:17).

Ministries

Ephesians 4a identifies all possible unified ministries because it’s the only chapter in the Bible that talks about oneness [henotēta] unity (Eph 4:3,13). Similar to how if one section of civilization (schools, army, shops, etc.) fell apart, the whole society would, too, the church Body is the same. Each of the 6 major Ministries have 1 sub-ministry for each Body Part that is inreach and another that is outreach focused.

1. Gift Giving (Eph 4:7-10, Head)–God creates gifts and gives them to specific people (Matt 7:11).
2. Answering Problems (Eph 4:13, Nose, Ears)–Teach all to study the “knowledge of God’s mystery” (Col 2:2-3).
3. Ecclesigraph (Eph 4:12, Torso, Skin)–help Parts find their calling and a sense of belonging (I Pet 5:10).
4. Resprings (Eph 4:15, Heart, Left Hand)–Restore the broken and exhort them to live in strong faith (Heb 3:12-13; I John 3:17-18).
5. Samemind (Eph 4:14, Eyes, Legs)–Grow theology without infighting. Samemind unifies what Christians believe through insight and apologetics (I Cor 1:10; Phil 1:27, 2:2).
6. Unitree (Eph 4:11, Mouth, Feet)–By giving gifts, build up the number of Christians in the Body (Acts 2:47; Matt 9:37; II Cor 9:10).
7. Onebody (Eph 4:16, Joints, Right Hand)–Onebody is a government to manage these ministries and Bodies (Rom 12:4-5; I Cor 12:12-13).

Ecclesigraph Belonging (Torso)

The Torso helps Christians feel that their church is not just a business, but a family (Tit 3:15; III John 1:15). They ensure everyone feels like they belong in their church, despite cultural differences. The Skin verifies that we’re not just a social club but growing in our God-given purpose.

1. Fellowship: The body of Christ must devote ourselves to spending time together to grow in love and good works (Acts 2:42; Heb 10:24-25). Read more at “Fellowship.”
2. Marriage: Helps people date and stay married through improving beauty, personality, expectations, and counseling. (The Left Hand handles divorce.)
3. Parenting: They teach parents how to be more godly in their techniques and love.
4. Procreation: They incentivize Synergians to have at least 3 kids through financial aid and services, to help fix the fertility rate and fulfill God’s command (Gen 1:28). Read more…
5. Children’s Ministry: This is the same as Milk Churches, but tailored towards children under 13.
6. Activities: They create recurring activities/vacations as fellowship, hosting sports, gaming, night outs, etc. Read more at “Ecclesigraph Activities.”
7. Food: They ensure every Assembly, Milk, and Solid Food church gathering has enough food for everyone, even if only a light snack.
8. Hospitality: They ensure every person at church feels welcomed, through greetings (Matt 5:47), hugs (Luke 20:37), and kisses (I Thess 5:26). They lead Pax (I Pet 5:14).
9. Liturgical Aesthetics: They promote beauty in church gatherings through icons, paintings, statues, biblical engineering builds, censers, etc.

Ecclesigraph Identity (Skin)

The Skin efficiently assists others’ callings and identities, and the Torso ensures this process doesn’t feel too impersonal.

1. Establishment: Give knowledge and power to new Christians so their calling is established in Christ (I Pet 5:10; II Thess 2:17). Read more at “Ecclesigraph Establishment.”
2. Church Models: Govern the process of moving people from Assembly to Milk to Solid Food churches (Heb 5:12-14). Lead liturgy in our gatherings.
3. Critical Aid: Ensure the Right Hand’s metrics are always met by helping those who temporarily cannot do their work.
4. Generalist: Participate in helping all Body Parts with their work, so that the Skins know the most practically about each job.
5. Freedoms: Ensure no country or Synergy freedoms are being revoked or ignored.

Unitree Alliances (Mouth)

The Mouth’s role in Unitree is to make as many Christian alliances as possible, whether through new believer instructions and teachings (Matt 28:19-20), strengthening mature believers’ faith through prophecy and signs (I Cor 14:22), ecumenical partnerships (Phil 4:15), or through non-yoking secular relationships (II Cor 6:14). The Feet constantly bring in new people to be future allies.

1. Training: Teach, instruct, and train Child Synergians and up (Matt 28:19-20; Rom 2:20). Read more at “Unitree Training.”
2. Partnerships: Create mutually beneficial partnerships among Christian churches, ministries, and investors (Phil 4:15). Ensure no moral compromises (II Cor 6:14; III John 7).
3. Personal Oracles: Prophecy and interpret tongues for personal messages for these growing Christians (I Cor 14:4-5).
4. Signs & Wonders: The Mouth gives them as evidence for the Feet’s evangelization (Acts 5:12).
5. Worship: They lead praising with songs (Ps 98:5) and spiritual revelations (I Cor 14:15,26). Read more at “Unitree Worship.”

Unitree Multiplying (Feet)

With “beautiful” Feet, go and preach the Gospel (Rom 10:14-15) with the Mouth’s signs and wonders (Rom 15:19) to those who don’t ask (Rom 10:20), unless they reject you (Matt 10:14), and to those who have not heard (Rom 15:20-21). They bring more people into the Synergy church.

1. Evangelize: Preach and evangelize to save souls (Jam 5:20; II Tim 4:5).
2. Baptism: They manage baptisms, encouraged by Unitree Training (Matt 28:19-20).
3. Contributions: They teach the Body to contribute financially with generosity (Rom 12:8; II Cor 9:6-7).
4. Media: They are responsible for ensuring everyone is up-to-date without bias on the latest news.

Answering Problems Knowledge (Nose)

The Nose creates a place to be united in knowledge (Eph 4:13; Col 2:2). Focus more on “Problems” of theological disunity than “Answering.” The Ears remind them that the theology should be answering voiced concerns.

1. Theology Wiki: Grow our global knowledge base (Col 2:2-3), emphasizing uniting different beliefs (Eph 4:13). This includes improving systems for Ministries.
2. Lectionary: standardized guidelines for preparing sermons for church
3. Rules Awareness: Each local Nose ensures that their Solid Foods church knows and understands all of Synergy Ministry’s rules.
4. Wiki Consensus: They must agree with the Summary section of every page in Answering Problems.
5. Koine Greek: All Noses must eventually read the entire, infallible New Testament. This is the original, inspired Greek New Testament, not any translation.
6. Research: They lead any research efforts, such as for unitocratic public funding or for any complex decisions in a church.
7. AI Brain: Synerhelper helps people remember knowledge from their day-to-day and their past and suggests information they are looking for, like an external brain.

Answering Problems Feedback (Ears)

The Ears answer any genuine, non-malicious question that is asked (Col 4:5-6), to be united in faith (Eph 4:13; Heb 4:12) for harmony (Eph 4:2-3; Rom 12:16). Focus more on “Answering” FAQ than “Problems”. This is any feedback from any person, not only Nose theology.

1. Wiki FAQ: Answer every theological question or rebuttal. Ensure Synerhelper can answer Synergian theology for non-theologians.
2. Feedback System: Organize local complaints into a global church system (Canny). Run polls to ensure unvoiced needs are heard.
3. Translation: As only 19% of the world speaks English fluently, ensure every Body Part’s works are fully translated to every language (I Cor 14:10-11; Rev 7:9).
4. External Accountability: Work with non-Synergian Christian organizations to hold us accountable in all areas: financial, theological, practical, etc.
5. Message Reviewing: They review content, meetings, sermons, DMs, and all messages to ensure all work aligns with Synergian theology.
6. Global Issues: Log the intensity and number of every evil injustice in the world, so the Body knows what to target and how much (Jam 5:4).
7. God’s Ears: We log as much sound data as possible (Jam 5:4; I Sam 8:21), such as through Synerhelper.

Samemind Judiciary (Eyes)

This judicial system helps Christians, who have strong theological (James 3:17) or personal (I Cor 6:1-8) disagreements, unite (Pr 18:17). The Eyes create insight for the Legs’ apologetics. They are physically and legally protected by the Legs, as this is where the most violent tension surfaces.

1. Conclaves: Use Synerhelper and argument mapping software (e.g. Kialo) in debates that don’t end to achieve consensus (John 17:22; Phil 2:2).
2. Mediation: For those who can’t finish Conclaves, help them work out their differences (Rom 15:1) through unbiased logic.
3. God’s Eyes: We log as much camera data as possible (Pr 15:3; Rev 4:6,8), such as through Synerhelper.
4. Ecumenism: Foster theological unity with other Christian traditions and denominations, based around doctrine (Answering Problems differences), not good works (Eph 4:14).
5. Confession: They teach that everyone must routinely confess their sins, not only to God or a priest but to “one another” (Jam 5:16). We don’t seal sin but proclaim it (Lk 12:2-3).

Samemind Defense (Legs)

Based on what the Eyes judge as good, the Legs defend us from evil:

1. Apologetics: Defend Synergian theology against attackers by reproving the largest influencers and pastors using polemics (II Cor 10:5)
2. Proselytizing Defense: Synergy offers $10K to anyone who will join a Synerhelper Mediator and Synergy Apostles Conclave to convert the other.
3. Whistleblowing: Use tools like Synerhelper to notify the Solid Food church or authorities of any illegal activity.
4. Scheme Defense: Protect the Body against the devil’s many “schemes” to make Christians falter (Eph 4:14; Eph 6:11), such as porn, lies, etc. 
5. Persecution: Help the Body endure persecution: reviling, beatings, governmental theft, and other extreme suffering (Matt 13:21; II Tim 3:11-12).
6. Physical Military: Physically defend or rescue those in need of assistance (Luke 22:36,38); do not initiate aggression (Matt 26:52); vetted by a 3rd party
7. Content Moderation: Across all ministries, ensure all posts, videos, and comments follow our rules.
8. Physical Fitness: Ensure members are fit: eating nutritionally, growing muscle mass, etc. (Matt 9:12; I Tim 4:8).

Resprings Building (Heart)

The desire to build comes from the heart, whether that be building buildings (I Sam 2:35; I Kings 8:17) or building people (I Thess 5:11). The Heart focuses on what to do, while the Left Hand focuses on how:

1. Admonishment: Exhort sin (Heb 3:13), focusing on truth (Eph 4:15). Use Synerhelper Coach to quickly catch conversational errors. Read more…
2. Co-living: sharing all things (Acts 4:32); read more at “Resprings Co-living“
3. Construction: building intentional Resprings Co-living communities of 12 houses, a shared area, and future plans for a larger city through Merging Churches
4. Rentals: Christian-themed rental properties for evangelism and helping low-income families
5. Independence: The Heart helps their church members have jobs and can live independently (I Thess 4:10-12), without giving their heart to money (Matt 6:20-21).

Resprings Restoration (Left Hand)

We must act out of mercy (Rom 12:8), so the Left Hand gives physical goods and mental health aid to those in the most need (Jam 2:15-16; I John 3:17-18). No one in the Body should be struggling to live. The Heart ensures they are not becoming co-dependent but an asset.

1. Admonishment: Teach wisdom through counseling, therapeutic mental help (I Cor 4:14), a focus on love (Eph 4:15), and with Synerhelper Counselor. Read more…
2. Unvoiced Needs: Solve the unvoiced needs of your Synergy Community and local city.
3. Basic Necessities: Ensure people have access to food, water, and clothes. This does not include housing, internet, etc. (I Tim 6:8; Matt 6:25)
4. Physical Health: Ensure people have access to hospitals, and anoint them with oil when sick (Jam 5:14; Mark 6:13).
5. Divorce: Assist in either fixing a marriage or facilitating a clean communication break. Ensure kids understand everything without yelling in 1 stable house.
6. Loneliness: Even if it’s once per year, visit the orphans, widows, and anyone who is lonely (Jam 1:27), and give to them as your church has the ability.
7. Prison Reform: They ensure prisons are not only putting away the bad but restoring them to a healthy state, by decarceration (mental help), reducing recidivism, and more.
8. Bereavement: Perform Last Rites, help with funeral planning, property management, and give pastoral counsel to those who are grieving the dead.

Onebody Unity (Joints)

The Joints “knit” the body so it can grow (Col 2:19), administering (I Cor 12:28; governing), tasks, progress validation, etc. with systems. The Joints lead the Right Hand to do the leadership, and the Right Hand ensures division with bad leaders happens:

1. Guidance: Determine how God is guiding the way for your church (Col 2:19; John 16:13). This is purely communication between the Joints and God.
2. Communication: Teach your Body how to communicate properly with one another (I Pet 3:10) for the goal of perfect unity (John 17:22-23; Phil 2:2). Read more…
3. Life Integration: Guide your church to full unity of all: church, business, co-living, finances, etc. (John 17:23). Read more…
4. Membership Tiers (Discipleship): Disciple Christians to grow spiritually in our Membership Tiers.
5. Goals: These are any tasks that individuals do that all unify on to become “perfectly one” (John 17:23). Read more at “Onebody Goals.”
6. Businesses: Solid Food churches may choose to go into business in unity. Read more at “Onebody Businesses.”
7. Points: All work–secular or spiritual–should be compared to admonish the idle (I Thess 5:14). Read more at “Onebody Points.”
8. Clergy: Ensure each person or church has a correct Overseer. Ensure Deacons are working efficiently.
9. Synergy Conference: Every 4 years, we gather from “every nation” to worship with “one voice” (Rom 15:5-6; Rev 7:9-10) and grow our “one faith” as “one body” (Eph 4:3-6,16).

Onebody Leadership (Right Hand)

The Right Hand attacks the world’s evil that chooses to hide by promoting justice (Is 1:17; Heb 11:33) through leadership from the Joint’s decisions and their power (Ex 15:6).

1. Moral Order: Validate through metrics that people are submitting to the Bible through Synergy’s rules (Col 2:19; Eph 4:16) over false freedom (I Pet 2:13-16; Heb 13:17).
2. Finances: They manage all finances for their church (John 12:6; Acts 1:20), including payroll, giving location, fund requests, etc.
3. Efficient Leadership: Zealously and systematically lead the Body to validate Onebody Goals (Rom 12:8), especially through Synerhelper Manager.
4. Testing Leaders: Test every clergyman every year according to our Clergy requirements to prove they remain blameless (I Tim 3:10). Especially test your Joints (Heb 4:12).
5. Worldly Justice: Fight for the oppressed (Lk 18:3; Matt 23:23), expose evil (Eph 5:11), and pray for politicians (I Tim 2:1-2).
6. Communion: They lead Communion at our churches (Luke 22:19). Read more at “Communion.”
7. Benediction: Signing with one’s right hand, give a ritualistic blessing at the end of an Assembly church, signaling its end (Heb 13:20-21).

Spiritual Government

The Kingdom of God is a government for a spiritual country on earth (Is 9:7; Matt 6:10; II Cor 6:14-17). Instead of creating a physical country, the Kingdom of God is many individuals united in the Body of Christ (Luke 17:21; Rom 12:4-5) abiding by the laws of secular states. The original word for “church” is “ekklēsian” (Matt 16:18), and the only context for it was a political assembly of citizens to govern the Roman city-state. Jesus always intended for the church to be separated from secular governments (II Cor 6:14-16), to “be separate from them” (II Cor 6:17) and to obey any secular authorities until full separation is achieved (Rom 13:1). Like earthly governments and kingdoms, there needs to be a separation of powers.

Dual Citizenship

As the Anabaptist Christians teach, we encourage all to abide by the laws of their land (Rom 13:1) while seeing their primary citizenship through Synergy Ministries (Phil 3:20; Matt 6:10). Our unitocratic Form of Government and Socioeconomic System are legally done through private churches, not legally-sanctioned cities, to ensure there is no unequal yoking (II Cor 6:14). In the US, non-profit churches are allowed to limit hiring only to a specific denomination. The way we are building a spiritual country legally is by building a non-profit with families who live near each other in secular cities throughout the world. Although owning a geographical country is ideal (II Cor 6:14-17), that’s not practical until the Silver Foundation of Patience, likely in a thousand years. 

Form of Government – Unitocracy

Our unitocracy is a form of government in which political power is vested in every Synergian Christian working towards consensus-based unity. Unlike a theocracy or democracy, we do not believe in authoritarian control nor voting but “full accord” and “one mind” (Phil 2:2). A government’s job is to create laws to protect its citizens, enforce justice, and judge disagreements in following these laws. We create a structure similar to the roles of the US government but are applicable to any Christian in any country:

1. Legislative Branch (Head): Similar to Congress or the Vicar, the Synergy Apostles must unanimously agree to create or update any previous legislation (Phil 2:2).
2. Executive Branch (Joints): Similar to the US President, the Joints will handle executing and enforcing laws (Col 2:19; I Cor 12:28).
3. Public Education (Mouth): They teach independent living and how to provide for themselves (I Thess 4:11-12).
4. Public Funding (Nose): They tell us where money should be spent the most, based on extensive research.
5. Foreign Affairs (Right Hand): The Right Hand Leaders are tasked with teaching the world how to avoid wars (Matt 26:52) and give justice to the oppressed (Ps 82:3-4).
6. Culture (Torso): The best countries allow various cultures to co-exist or integrate at will. The Torso’s focus on fellowship helps everyone feel like they culturally belong.
7. Freedoms (Skin): What makes the US great is our freedoms: of speech, religion, right to bear arms, etc. The Skin defend the basic rights of individuals (Rom 14:1,4).
8. Judicial Branch (Eyes): Similar to the Supreme Court and courts, the Eyes Leaders will judge all cases among Christians (I Cor 6:1-8).
9. Popular Sovereignty (Ears): Most developed nations are built on the principle of democracy. The Ears create systems that allow each individual to be heard (Mark 10:44).
10. Financial Opportunities (Heart): Our Hearts help people become financially independent through Resprings Co-living and personal guidance.
11. Military/Police (Legs): They influence countries’ policing policies, physically protect their church, and provide emergency protection services for those in need.
12. Safety Net (Left Hand): Similar to the US federal safety net, Resprings is a system to efficiently send aid to those who need it most (I John 3:17-18).
13. Media Reporting (Feet): They are responsible for ensuring everyone is up-to-date without bias on the latest news.

Socioeconomic System

The most validated economies, whether American capitalism or Chinese socialism, still draw many away from Jesus Christ, have immense poverty, and many other socioeconomic problems. We believe any socioeconomic system not following all biblical commands will eventually fail and need to be replaced.

1. Communalism: We encourage 12 families to live together and pool resources to lower the cost of living and create a long-term family. Read more at Resprings Co-living.
2. UBI: Instead of a wage, families get a universal basic income from their Solid Foods church.
3. Safety Net: Through private investments and loans, we ensure each church member has their basic needs: food, clothing, housing, medicine, etc.
4. Job Security: The Hearts train every unemployed person, ensure they get a job, and pay us back.
5. No Taxes: Like libertarians, we never tax but require citizens to pay their country’s taxes (Rom 13:6-7). We rely on donations and miracles to sustain power (Matt 17:25-27).
6. Sustainability: Global trade incentivizes exploiting nature. By requiring everyone to not harm the earth, GDP doesn’t decrease but increases.
7. No Plutocracy: Unlike the USA, where leadership is for the wealthiest, because our leadership isn’t based on voting or the military, power only comes from Christ-like logic.
8. Subsistence: Like most of human history, every community is taught subsistence living so market crashes and recessions won’t hurt us as badly as developed nations.
9. Global Economy: Like the USA or China, we believe in participating in the market-run global economy. For internal affairs, we share all things (Acts 2:44; 4:32).
10. Private Property: Although we allow private property, we encourage people to share all things (Acts 5:4; 4:32). Read more at Resprings Co-living.

Ecclesiastical Polity

Synergy Apostles

The primary unique aspect of a unitocracy is that our primary leader is actually 12 leaders in consensus-based unity (Phil 2:2; I Cor 1:10): the Synergy Apostles. This is similar to the US President or Pope. A Synergy Apostle is not supposed to be the best at work efficiency, managing, or knowing the most theology. They are the best at validating the work of the Spirit by having the best relevant Fruit of the Spirit character trait and by being the best at their Ministry Validation.

1. Overseers of the Overseers: Each Apostle ensures all the Overseers in his Body Part are meeting their rules and metrics.
2. Apostolic Mission: Through direct prophecy, their Solid Food church’s Goals informally sets the direction for all Synergy churches based in biblical revelations.
3. Amendments: The only way for a Synergy Ministry belief to change is if all 12 top Synergy Apostles agree (I Cor 1:10; Phil 2:2), except for the Synergy Founder.
4. Irremovability: Similar to the Catholic church, the Joint Apostle cannot be excommunicated or removed from his position, but he can quit.
5. Requirements: In addition to the requirements for a Clergy, the Synergy Apostles have extra requirements, found in the Synergy Apostles Application.

Clergy

The clergy is our leadership structure; it’s similar to the Ecclesiastical Hierarchy of the Catholic Church, but we employ a 2 tiered leadership structure: the speaking overseers and serving deacons; everyone is a “saint” and “servant” (Phil 1:1; I Pet 4:10-11). Bishops, overseers, elders, and presbyters are not separate positions because elders oversee (I Pet 5:1-2; Tit 1:5,7). Unlike many churches that appoint leaders based on personal friendship, a salary, and pre-existing doctrinal alignment, we appoint leaders based on unity of mind (I Cor 1:10) and godly fruit (Matt 12:33).

Overseers (bishops, elders, presbyters)

1. Biblical Requirements: not persuaded to lead, not greedy, gentle, shepherd, without major sins, monogamous males, believing and submissive children under 18, submissive, humble, patient, never under the influence of substances, meek, hospitable, good, self-controlled and disciplined, righteous, holy and obedient, modest, well-respected by outsiders, teacher, not quarrelsome, not a new believer (Tit 1:5-9; I Pet 5:2-4; I Tim 3:1-7)
2. Extra Requirements: Membership Tier of Adult; saved for 10 years; can only oversee up to 72 people, or 6 Solid Food churches (Luke 10:1)
3. Types
   1. Milk: Each Baby member has a Skin Milk Overseer, to progress them in Membership Tiers until they join a Solid Food church.
   2. Training: Each Child member has a Mouth Training Overseer until all topics are discussed (Matt 28:19-20).
   3. Part: Every Young Adult+ member has a Part Overseer of the same Body Part to guide their life.
   4. Church: Each Solid Foods church has a Joint Church Overseer, ensuring growth in Ministry Validation and Membership Tiers.

Deacons

1. Biblical Requirements: dignified (serious and honorable), honest, not under the influence of substances, not greedy, faithful to God, their lifestyle is observed for 3 months, monogamous males, a good manager of their house and children; their wives must be dignified, not slanderous (gossips), not under the influence of substances, and faithful (I Tim 3:8-12)
2. Extra Requirements: Membership Tier of Child, must be through a Onebody Goal, not as individuals, unless the specific skill cannot be found within Synergy
3. Role: anyone who serves Synergy itself, not those who attend, participate, or serve at a local Synergy Community

Promotions

Unfortunately, most churches promote their leaders based on a subjective feeling of unity (Gal 2:11-12) and political connections (I Tim 5:21) over biblical requirements and quantifiable validation of good works (Matt 12:33). For example, blacks were not allowed to be church leaders in white churches at scale until around the 2000s. Here is how we promote leaders:

1. Clergy: Elders and deacons are not chosen by a single pastor (dictator), but by consensus based on the full list of biblical and Synergian requirements.
2. Resources: Money and manpower are not given arbitrarily to some leaders over others but based on quantifiable validation (Onebody Goals task estimates; Lk 12:48; 16:10).
3. Consensus: While most churches avoid those who argue against the status quo, we encourage our deepest beliefs to be challenged by promoting exposers (Eph 5:11).

Merging Churches

Here are the rules for merging Solid Food churches of 12 into large settlements or cities. Concepts like Onebody Goals, Resprings Co-living, etc. are combined for greater efficiency and unity. Our goal is to allow greater forms of unity without it devolving into people’s needs and biblical commands not being met, as is common in traditional single-pastor churches, like parishes or megachurches:

1. Onebody Goals: If churches merge, their Onebody Goals must always be in sync. The Joints must use the same tools and lists for managing them.
2. Number: Any number of churches can unite, such as 3 churches of 36 or 100 churches of 1200.
3. 12 Members: A Solid Foods church can only merge with others if they have had 12 members for at least 3 months each.

Women and Children

While there’s no superiority between genders (Gal 3:28), God doesn’t count women or children (Matt 14:21) because all things must be done in order (I Cor 14:40). The head of a woman is not directly Christ, but her husband (I Cor 11:3) because Christ is the head of the church (Eph 5:23). Women and children must unite fully through submission (Acts 1:14; Eph 5:24). Paul knew this would be very controversial; it’s one of the only places in his writings that he exercises his own authority, and that those who don’t recognize God’s command for female silence should not even be in the church (I Cor 14:36-38).

1. Never Lead: Although a male Solid Foods church is composed of women and children, they never lead men (Acts 15:22; I Tim 2:12).
2. One Accord: The rule for all decisions needing to be in full unity does not apply to wives and children (Acts 1:14); but, they should be united with their husband/father.
3. Unmarried Women: Twelve unmarried women may have their own Solid Foods church, and any newly married women switch to their husband’s church.
4. Wives’ Church: The wives of a Solid Foods church’s men should have their own Women’s Solid Foods church (Tit 2:3-5), once they reach the correct Membership Tier.
5. Body Parts: Unmarried women do have Body Parts of Christ, but married women replace their Part with the Part of their husband (Eph 5:23,28,31), as fit helpers (Gen 2:18).
6. Girlfriends: A girlfriend may join a church of unmarried women or a church of wives, but she cannot live with him and must actively be working towards marriage.
7. Children’s Church: The Torso oversees adults teaching children (Tit 2:3-5). A child is not forced to go to church, unless their parents require it (Eph 6:1).
8. Silent Listeners: Women and children can optionally listen silently at the Church Service of their husband or father’s Solid Food church (I Cor 14:33-35; I Tim 2:11).
9. Joining a New Church: With their male authority’s permission or if they are 20 or older (Num 1:3; Ex 30:14), a boy or unmarried girl may join a new Solid Foods church.
10. Primary Role: A wife’s primary role is to raise her children and be a helper to her husband (I Tim 2:14-15; Gen 2:18).
11. Extra Work: If the couple decides the wife should do more work than being a homemaker, she may do any biblical task the Synergy Community agrees on (Pr 31:16,18).

Excommunication & Quitting

Excommunication, meaning to “put out of commonality,” is to remove someone from the church (Matt 18:17; I Cor 5:2,13; Tit 3:10). It’s better for your church to lose 1 Body Part member than everyone be brought down to hell (Matt 5:29-30). Read our reconciliation page for further biblical details on how and why we excommunicate people:

1. Terminology: Quitting is by the choice of self-removal, and does not carry the penalties of excommunication, which is forced removal.
2. Unanimous: For a member of a Solid Foods church to be excommunicated, all 11 others must be in agreement that they should be forced to leave.
3. Timeline: Excommunication from Synergy Ministries lasts for 5 years.
4. No Leadership: Excommunicated members cannot hold Clergy positions for 25 years (I Tim 3:2,7), and their Overseer must tell everyone close to him of his sin (I Tim 5:19-20).

Face

The face of an organization or church is usually metaphorically shown through one person’s actual face. In most churches, that would be a single pastor, single priest, or single pope. In Synergy, only Jesus Christ is the Face of our church (I Cor 13:12; II Cor 4:6); but practically, we recognize that people have faces and end up becoming the faces for their churches. It’s dangerous when the most spiritual in an organization become the face of the church, such as a pope or megachurch pastor, because when he dies, the face dies. The next face is usually spiritually weaker, not stronger. The face of an organization also tends to get power-hungry. It’s healthier if the faces that are seen the most are the least spiritual (I Cor 12:22-24), ensuring growth happens by the whole body being healthy (Eph 4:16) and so the lower Parts do not divide due to disrespect (I Cor 12:25). We will ensure no human becomes the face of Synergy through the following means:

1. Weak’s Honor: The world will know Synergians by our lowest-ranked Parts, such as the Left Hand and Feet. We give greater honor to the Parts that lack it (I Cor 12:23-24).
2. Discouraging Apostles’ Self-promotion: We encourage the top 12 Synergy Apostles not to go on large shows, but for the sake of openness, to go on the smallest shows.

Privacy

Because we believe in openness and light and not secrets (Mark 4:22), some may think we don’t believe in privacy. Here is how privacy works out at Synergy:

1. Opt-in: Unlike most governmental programs, giving most information is never required; it’s only if you trust us.
2. Leadership: Only higher levels of leadership require great levels of openness. You can stay a member of the church without revealing much.
3. Critical Safety: The only information that’s required to give is similar to a government: trying to solve a crime.
4. Starting Small: While we do encourage giving more information to the Body, it starts with just your Synergy Community and eventually increases to the whole Body.

Order

God orders the Body Parts (I Cor 12:28) so that we can all speak on behalf of the Father’s authority (John 7:18; 8:28) instead of our own (III John 1:9). The primary purpose of the Synergy Order is to encourage Christians to submit to those greater than them (Eph 5:21). For example, the Mouth’s words carry more weight than the Tongue (I Cor 14:5), but all Body Parts besides the Head are of equal personal value (I Cor 12:22). If the Eyes and Ears both want to speak, the Ears must let the Eyes speak. Like most churches, there are positions that have more authority than others (I Tim 3:1,10; Tit 1:5), such as the Feet Apostle (in the top group of 12) having more authority/rank than a Joint in a regular Solid Foods Church (John 1:15). Our Head is Jesus, who is always first (Col 1:18).

1. Joints–They are the apostles, specifically connected to the Head (Col 2:19). They can be substituted for a Ligament’s administration, ranked after the Skin (I Cor 12:28).
2. Mouth–They represent prophecy, of 2nd order in the church (I Cor 12:28). A Mouth can be substituted for a Tongue or Lips, ranked after the Ligaments/Skin (I Cor 14:5).
3. Nose–They represent teaching, of 3rd most importance (I Cor 12:28).
4. Right Hand–They are directly tasked with correcting the Joints when necessary (Heb 4:12). They also represent miracles, of 4th importance (I Cor 12:28).
5. Torso–They represent healing, of 5th importance. Their tongue interpretation is 8th (I Cor 12:28).
6. Skin–They represent helping or service, of 6th importance (I Cor 12:28). As a middle-ordered Part, they can relate to all they help.
7. Eyes–They’re implied to be greater than a Hand (I Cor 12:21). Eastern Orthodoxy had a larger number of Christians in 2025. As a middle-ordered Part, they mediate for all.
8. Ears–God implies they are less valuable than Eyes (I Cor 12:16). Eyes, Ears, and Hearts are used together (Matt 13:15-16; I Cor 2:9).
9. Heart–They cleanse our faith (Eph 6:16; Acts 15:9) and give to the Legs (I Cor 16:13). The Heart is enlightened from indirect, perceiving light (Eph 1:18; Rom 11:8).
10. Legs–They are often used together with faith, represented by the Heart (II Cor 1:24). The gift of supernatural faith is given to the Legs (I Cor 12:9).
11. Left Hand–It’s implied to be less than Eyes but more than Feet (I Cor 12:15,21). Left is less powerful than Right (Matt 25:33). James the Lesser is less than James the Greater.
12. Feet–They’re symbolically and physically last (Rev 1:17), implied as less (I Cor 12:15), historically unpresentable (I Cor 12:23; John 13:10), and target the most naive Audience.

Ministry Pairings

Ephesians 6b is about Body Part defense as a safety mechanism to fulfill Ministry Validation. If a Body Part is left to themselves, it’s easy for false teachings to creep in (Eph 6:11) from the unity of demons (Eph 6:12). Two paradoxically incompatible concepts are paired, because the purpose of unity is to complement each other’s weaknesses with each other’s strengths (I Cor 12:18; Rom 15:1). This is why God sent His 12 out 2 by 2 (Mark 6:7), to witness each other’s work and unify (II Cor 13:1). God mentions 7 tools: 6 armor pieces and prayer (Eph 6:13-18). Like in real war, one person creates a piece of armor (higher-ordered Part) for another to use (lower-ordered Part). The exception is the Breastplate and Helmet. These armors are created by both Parts and used by both Parts because they are mentioned twice in the Bible (I Thess 5:8) and because all 4 of these Parts need physical protection in a war.

1. Belt of Truth (Eph 6:14; Samemind): The Legs must stand firm on old tradition (II Thess 2:15) while the Eyes must see new revelation (Matt 9:17; Mark 7:8-9). Both are truth.
   1. Eyes’ Insight: Eyes are used to determine the true state of the battlefield. The purest Eyes can better see (Matt 6:22-23) which tool is needed most (Rev 3:18).  
   2. Legs’ Rigidness: A belt was used to gird loins and strengthen the core. The Legs brace against attacks by standing firm on traditional truth (II Thess. 2:15).
2. Breastplate of Righteousness (Eph 6:14; Ecclesigraph): Righteousness can be imperfect practice (I John 3:7,10), so long as we value others’ differing methods (I Cor 12:16).
   1. Torso’s Acceptance: A breastplate protects the most sensitive parts. The Torso teaches all are accepted, loved, and righteous (I Thess 5:8; I John 2:27-29).
   2. Skin’s Imposition: The skin touches the whole body to notify when something is wrong. Our Skin says true righteousness is when all Parts are healthy (I Cor 12:21).
3. Shoes of Readiness (Eph 6:15; Unitree): We follow Christ because of His power (John 7:31) and logic (John 5:38-39): not one or the other (John 14:11).
   1. Mouth’s Signs: Readiness comes from a mouth’s war cry or blowing a trumpet. The Mouth readies the Body through great signs and wonders (Mark 16:17).
   2. Feet’s Preaching: Shoes allow a warrior to travel farther, wherever the enemy is located. The Feet travel to preach the Word (Rom 10:15,18). 
4. Shield of Faith (Eph 6:16; Resprings): We shield the enemy’s darts by courageously confronting the truth (Heb 3:13) and helping the weak (I John 3:17).
   1. Heart’s Courage: The lion-hearted courageously held shields to protect the backline. The Heart creates loyalty when one’s actions are under attack (Ps 91:4; 18:2).
   2. Left Hand’s Mercy: Medics held a shield with their left hand to heal the wounded. Our Left Hand gives acts of mercy to those hurting the most (Rom 12:8).
5. Helmet of Salvation (Eph 6:17; Answering Problems): We must be open-minded to our wrongs (I Cor 8:1-2), and closed-minded to the truth that never fails (Heb 13:8).
   1. Nose’ Closedness: The nose filters air in a warzone to keep one alive. Our Nose blocks false doctrine with correct knowledge (II Cor 10:5).
   2. Ears’ Openness: Warriors hear when an enemy is close. Our Ears are open to hearing attacks so we won’t be caught off guard (Matt 24:43-44,48-50).
6. Sword of the Spirit (Eph 6:17; Onebody): To lead, we must unite with every healthy person (Col 2:19) while dividing with every unhealthy person (Tit 3:10-11).
   1. Joints’ Knitting: The joints control the warrior’s body as one unit. Our Joints lead many as one (Eph 4:16).
   2. Right Hand’s Piercing: Swords are used in war to defend against attacks (Luke 22:36-38). Our sword cuts through the noise to get to the heart of the matter (Heb 4:12).
7. Prayer (Eph 6:18): God gives us gifts (Eph 4:7-10) to answer our prayers when we are too weak on the battlefield (Rom 8:26).

Ministry Validation

Although ministries give actions to purpose and body parts specialize for efficiency, we also need a way to prove that our good works are good (Rom 3:19). God’s core values for Body Part Validation are found in Ephesians 4b-6a because this directly comes after God’s plan for unity in Ephesians 4a. Note how these core values sync in order with the first 6 (chronological) Golden Foundations of the Father, the first 6 Silver Foundations, and the Divine Steps.

1. Virtue (Eph 4:17-23; Answering Problems)–Is the “old self” being “renewed in the spirit of your minds” (Rom 12:2; Eph 4:22-23)?
2. Called (Eph 4:24-27; Ecclesigraph)–Are Christians finding their “new selves” calling through meek guidance (Col 3:10; I Pet 2:2)?
3. Restoration (Eph 4:28-5:2; Resprings)–After receiving their needs and admonishment, are people being built up (Rom 15:2)?
4. Holiness (Eph 5:3-14; Samemind)–Are Christians truly honest about their light (Matt 6:22-23); is it leading to avoiding sin (II Cor 6:14-17)?
5. Abundance (Eph 5:15-21; Unitree)–Are many people efficiently being discipled and becoming more mature (Acts 2:46-47)?
6. Subjection (Eph 5:22-6:9; Onebody)–Are all subject to the leaders (Heb 13:17)?

Biblical Body Part Correlations

Becoming the Body of Christ is about following every command in the Bible. One of the easiest ways to do that is to decompose biblical lists into their respect Body Parts.

Spiritual Gifts

Spiritual gifts are given by the Holy Spirit (I Cor 12:7) as He wills (I Cor 12:11). Everyone does not have every gift (I Cor 12:29-30) so that we would depend on each other (I Cor 12:18-19,22). There are 4 spiritual gifts lists in the Bible, and each of them uses the word “each” to clarify that every person gets one of the gifts in that list for a reason (Rom 12:3; I Pet 4:10; Eph 4:7; I Cor 12:7). God created these spiritual labels for Body Parts so that we can more easily see what each person’s role is, and if there’s a missing role. Note that any person can have any gift as the Spirit decides (I Cor 12:11), but we connect certain gifts with specific Parts because those Parts tend to utilize those gifts:

1. Calling–As Christ gave gifts, we give in specific ways (Eph 4:7-8). These gifts represent your calling, noting how the fivefold ministry are people not actions (Eph 4:11).
   1. Apostles (Joints)–leads the Body towards a specific, new calling that they heard directly from God about
   2. Prophets (Mouth)–tells others in the Body messages from God; about the church, not individuals
   3. Evangelists (Feet, Skin, Legs)–bring more people into the Body
   4. Shepherds (Right Hand, Torso, Ears, Heart, Left Hand)–listens to and guides the Body on practical matters
   5. Teachers (Mouth, Nose, Eyes)–teaches the Body about all biblical knowledge
2. Methodology–These gifts (Rom 12:6-8) are the specific functions of each person (Rom 12:3-4).
   1. Prophecy (Mouth)–through faith, tells individuals in your Body messages from God; about the person’s upbuilding, not the future
   2. Service, Helps (Skin, Left Hand)–through practical good works, serve your Body; more than just an aid, help them become the fullness of their calling
   3. Teaching (Mouth, Nose, Eyes, Joints)–through teaching, teach your Body about the truth
   4. Exhorting (Heart, Legs, Left Hand)–through exhortation, exhort your Body to live godlier lives and to stop specific sins
   5. Contribution (Heart, Ears, Feet)–through generous giving, contribute to the needs of your Body
   6. Leading, Administrating (Right Hand, Ligaments)–through zeal, get your Body working together efficiently
   7. Mercy Gifts (Torso, Left Hand)–through joy, give to the needs of your Body
3. Spiritual Evidence–These supernatural gifts (I Cor 12:8-10) mark that a person is truly living in the Spirit as a spiritual person (I Cor 12:1-3).
   1. Words of Wisdom (Joints, Nose)–hearing the Spirit’s “utterances” for upbuilding, such as correcting (Acts 6:9-10) or political safety (Luke 12:11-12)
   2. Words of Knowledge (Torso, Ears)–hearing the Spirit’s “utterances” for another, such as their sin or how they are specifically in need of help (Acts 5:3–4)
   3. Faith (Heart, Legs)–temporary moments of grace that enable bold decisions, such as withstanding tribulations (Acts 14:22) or walking on water (Matthew 14:28–31)
   4. Healing (Torso, Skin)–physically healing a sickness (Acts 3:6-7)
   5. Miracles (Right Hand)–suspending natural law for the purpose of evangelizing to large secular powers (Acts 13:8,11-12)
   6. Prophecy (Joints, Mouth)–predicting the future, as a sign to believers (I Cor 14:22)
   7. Distinguishing Spirits (Eyes, Left Hand)–Eyes literally see guardian angels or demons (John 1:51), as well as casting out demons with God’s finger (Luke 11:20)
   8. Speaking in Tongues (Tongue, Feet)–can speak in the language of angels (I Cor 13:1; 14:2) and unknown human languages (Acts 2:4,8)
   9. Interpretation of Tongues (Tongue, Feet)–can interpret the language of angels (I Cor 14:5); unrelated to natural language interpretation
4. Type of Works–While all speak and do, this is a Part’s purpose, not their tool (I Pet 4:10-11). Each higher-ranking Ministry Part speaks, while the other does.
   1. Speaking–like Overseers, teach others of a better way to do, not mainly as generic knowledge but as oracles of specific, useful wisdom
   2. Doing–like Deacons, do the work needed to build up the body of Christ

Greatest Commandment

We are a ministry that believes in following all of God’s commandments, no matter how small (Matt 5:17-19). Following the Greatest Commandment (Mark 12:29-30), then, is of high importance. When Jesus connects “the Lord is one” to love (Deut 6:4-5), He’s saying that we cannot truly love the “one Lord” without being “one body” (Eph 4:4-5) and loving each other (Matt 22:39), which is fulfilling all the commandments (Matt 22:40):

Heart–represents our emotions (Pr 15:13; 12:25); to love is to feel that others have value and help them feel valuable (Philemon 1:7); these 3 are physically closest to a body’s heart

1. Belonging (Torso)–They help us feel like we belong to a group that loves us (Luke 15:20; I John 3:19-21).
2. Will (Heart)–While the heart can represent emotion, it also represents what one really wants to do; they help purify our will (Acts 13:22; Heb 3:8-12).
3. Desires (Left Hand)–They ensure everyone’s healthy, fleshly desires are met (Jam 2:15-16; I John 3:17-18).

Soul–represents our purpose (John 12:27; Eph 2:10); to love is to help others become valuable (Acts 2:27; II Cor 12:15); these 3 cover the most area, on or off the body

1. Knitting (Joints)–The Joints intertwine or “knit” souls’ purposes together (Col 2:19; I Sam 18:1). Only the Bible can rightly divide joined souls (Heb 4:12).
2. Calling (Skin)–They require all manifestations of the Spirit to be respected, and help people find where they are called (Matt 22:14; I Cor 12:4-7).
3. Commission (Feet)–Missionaries are ambassadors (Eph 6:20; John 13:16) for the Great Commission (Matt 28:19-20). They teach us to be ready vessels (II Tim 2:21).

Mind–represents our knowledge (Rom 12:2; 14:5); to love is to understand the depths of others’ value (Phil 2:2; I Pet 3:8); these 3 are physically closest to a body’s mind

1. Study (Nose)–God’s Word trains us (II Tim 3:16-17) because it is infallible (Pr 30:5-6; Ps 119:160). We add nothing to God but are conformed (Rom 8:29).
2. Insight (Eyes)–The mind’s eye or “insight” is literally inner eyesight (Pr 1:2). This “understanding” isn’t from studying but from discernment: meditation in the Spirit (I Cor 2:14).
3. Reflection (Ears)–We learn a lot by reflecting on others’ opinions, by changing our minds (Matt 21:28-32; I Cor 8:1-2).

Strength–represents power (I Cor 4:20; Phil 4:13); to love is to give and receive value (II Tim 1:6-7); these 3 have the most physical strength (jaw’s bite power)

1. Influence (Mouth)–The greatest power is the Holy Spirit (Acts 1:8; 10:38), and they’ll influence us through the supernatural (Mark 16:17-18) and prophecy (I Cor 14:3).
2. Technique (Right Hand)–Like a skilled master swordsman, they “take care” (I Cor 3:10) to wield their power in a controlled, useful way (Heb 4:12).
3. Firmness (Legs)–They protect us, like an unyielding fortress (Gal 2:5; Ps 31:2; Jam 1:2-4), against the forces of evil (Eph 6:10-13).

Creativity and Logic

The hemispheres of our consciousness are often juxtaposed with the concepts of creativity and logic. The Bible seems to do the same: love and truth (Eph 4:15; II John 1:3), grace and truth (John 1:14,17), deed and truth (I John 3:18), love vs respect (Eph 5:33), and women vs men (I Tim 2:13-14). See more examples at our unity page. This is because God made 2 separate halves to complement each other as one and as a reflection of Christ and His church (Eph 5:31-32). Similarly, each Ministry Pairing focuses on either.

Creativity

1. Harmony (Joints): Joining and building Parts up comes primarily from love (Eph 4:16), a mature love (Eph 4:13) that desires to bind all Parts harmoniously (Col 3:14).
2. Empathy (Torso): Love is about the positive emotions of care, affection, and belonging (II Cor 2:4). Healing comes from wise truth based in high EQ (Pr 12:18).
3. Fairness (Eyes): To judge that people are innocent until proven guilty comes from love (I Cor 13:7-8; I Pet 1:17). Love (not truth) is the fulfillment of the law (Rom 13:10).
4. Compassion (Ears): To love is to fully hear the complaints and concerns of others (Mark 9:22).
5. Mercy (Left Hand): Love is having mercy on those who don’t deserve our forgiveness (Luke 18:13). Loving is giving to the needy (I John 3:17).
6. Generosity (Feet): The desire to freely give the Gospel to the undeserving comes from deep love (Luke 6:32; Rom 5:8). They sacrifice in brotherly love (Heb 13:1-2).

Logic

1. Expectancy (Mouth): Prophets and tongue-speakers are constantly expecting God to reveal new truth (Num 12:6; I Cor 14:2,26).
2. Curiosity (Nose): They search out all truth in the Spirit (John 16:13; Pr 20:27; I Cor 2:10). They know the truth is found by understanding every Word of God (II Tim 3:16).
3. Efficiency (Right Hand): They are driven to do (hands) what has the most power, which is efficiency through truth (II Cor 6:7).
4. Purpose (Skin): Truth is only valuable if it’s built on a foundation of God’s purpose for individuals, not generalized (John 18:37).
5. Developmental (Heart): Growing up comes from connecting the heart’s love with God’s truth (Eph 4:15; Heb 3:13). The truthful know what they don’t know (I Cor 8:2).
6. Holy (Legs): The only way to be separate from evil is to first understand the truth (Eph 5:6-8). The truth doesn’t fellowship with falseness (II Cor 6:14).

Fruit of the Spirit

Every command is fulfilled in the one body (Matt 5:19; Rom 12:4-5), including growing in the Spirit’s character. The Synergy Revival is start of the Silver Foundation of Goodness. While the bottom 6 Silver Foundations represent the Ministries of the Body Parts, the top 3 represent the purpose of the Ministries. For example, we are good so we can have peace, not we are peaceful so we can be good.

1. Love (Joints, Torso, Skin, Ears): These Body Parts are driven by a self-sacrificial love for others and a desire for others to love them.
2. Joy (Mouth, Nose, Left Hand, Feet): These Body Parts are driven by the feeling of joy and wonder.
3. Peace (Right Hand, Eyes, Heart, Legs):  These Body Parts are driven by a desire for peace and stability.
4. Patience (Onebody): Patience isn’t about never getting angry (Eph 4:26) but about being ok with weakness as a leader with high standards (II Cor 12:12).
5. Kindness (Unitree): The greatest gift we can give others is salvation: the Gospel, baptism of repentance, and discipleship (Rom 2:4; Mark 1:4; Tit 3:4-5).
6. Goodness (Samemind): We discern good from evil in the deepest debates (Heb 5:14; Pr 20:5), and we protect the good from the evil through insightful defenses (Eph 6:11).
7. Faithfulness (Resprings): Being faithful to God is trusting in His work (Rom 4:5), and being loyal to people is helping them (Jam 2:14-17).
8. Gentleness (Ecclesigraph): Milk Christians need gentle motherly care (I Thess 2:7).
9. Self-control (Answering Problems): Self-sacrifice is denying the self by seeking the knowledge of God’s will to be conformed (Rom 12:1-2; Eph 4:22-23; Ecc 12:12; Tit 2:12).

Divine Steps

In the same way that foundations build on each other (I Cor 3:10), the 9 Silver Foundations based on the Fruit of the Spirit build out the “fullness” (Eph 4:13) of maturity through the 9 Divine Steps (Rev 2-3). The purpose of each of our Ministries is to build repentance at each spiritual stage (Rev 3:19; 2:16; 3:3; 2:5; 2:21-22):

1. Non-believer (Answering Problems)–For adult non-believers, what they need to convert is knowledge (II Tim 2:25) and daily reasoning (Acts 19:8-9).
2. New Believer (Ecclesigraph)–New believers need assurance of salvation and righteousness (I John 3:7,19-24) and guidance towards their calling (Eph 4:24).
3. Stumbling Believer (Resprings)–Christians who repeatedly sin (Rev 2:14) need the grace of forgiveness (Matt 18:21-22) and a loving heart to exhort them (Heb 3:12-13).
4. Lukewarm Believer (Samemind)–The lukewarm need insight into their error (Rev 3:18; Eph 5:13-14) and to see Christians who firmly stand up against this evil (Eph 5:7,11).
5. Loveless Believer (Unitree)–To feel God’s love (Rev 2:4), these must act selflessly and kindly by training the undeserving to follow the Gospel (Luke 6:35-36; Matt 28:19-20).
6. Tolerant Believer (Onebody)–Uniting with Christians is both about patiently joining despite differences (Col 2:19) but also dividing with false teachers (Rev 2:20; II Pet 2:1-2).
7. Sleeping Believer–The Body of Christ learns how to maintain true peace despite there being few problems to motivate good works (Rev 3:1-2; II Thess 3:6,11).
8. Suffering Believer–The Body of Christ learns that true joy comes even during suffering (Rev 2:10; Jam 1:2).
9. Waiting Believer–The Body of Christ learns what true love looks like by being kept from the end of the world (Rev 3:9-10).

The New Commandment

Jesus gives the disciples a “new commandment”, which is to love each other as the body of Christ (John 13:34). John elaborates on this “new commandment”, that although love was in the old covenant (I John 2:7), we now can love in a new way with the light of the Holy Spirit (I John 2:8). Our Foundation of Goodness is heavily symbolic of the purpose of this light and of eyes (I John 2:9-11). Part of that is the spirit of understanding (Is 11:2) to elucidate hidden meaning–how the ministries of the Body of Christ relate to mature adulthood (I John 2:12-14; Heb 5:14; Eph 4:13). Note how the order of the following 6 stages matches the Membership Tiers and Divine Steps, which is also about spiritual maturity:

1. Fathers (Answering Problems)–Teach (present “I am writing”) non-believing fathers (I John 2:13; Rom 1:20) to “turn and become like children” (Matt 18:3; I Pet 2:2).
2. Little Children (Ecclesigraph)–Teach (present “I am writing”) New Believers about their forgiveness (I John 2:12) and calling (I Cor 12:4-7).
3. Children (Resprings)–Remind (aorist “I write”) the Stumbling Believers through exhortation of the knowledge of their Father (I John 2:13; II Pet 1:8).
4. Young Men (Samemind)–Teach (present “I am writing”) the Lukewarm Believers to continue to overcome evil (Rom 12:21).
5. Young Men (Unitree)–Remind (aorist “I write”) the Loveless Believers of the root of their love: strength, knowledge, and assurance of victory (I John 2:14).
6. Fathers (Onebody)–Remind (aorist “I write”) the Tolerant Believer fathers to lead the Body in righteousness from knowing the Father (I John 2:14).

7 Spirits of God

The Holy Spirit has 7 different functions (Is 11:2), called the “seven spirits of God” (Rev 1:4; 3:1; 4:5; 5:6). Both Isaiah 11 and various references to the 7 spirits in Revelation are referring to how the body of Christ prepares the way for the new heaven and new earth, noting similarities in each chapter (Is 65:17,25; 11:6-9). Also note how the Spirits are grouped (Is 11:2) just as the Body Parts’ Ministries are grouped with the Silver Foundation’s Fruit of the Spirit, because they aid each other. For example, knowledge and fear of the Lord refer to self-control and gentleness.

1. Spirit of the Lord (Head)–This means that the Holy Spirit rests on Jesus of Nazareth, a descendant of Jesse (Is 11:1; Matt 1:6).
2. Spirit of Wisdom (Resprings)–Practical wisdom (Jam 2:26; 3:13-17) comes with knowledge (Pr 2:6; Luke 11:49,52; Eph 1:17). It protects the Left Hand (Is 11:8).
3. Spirit of Understanding (Samemind)–God doesn’t “judge” or “decide disputes” based on simple facts but a deep understanding of righteousness (Is 11:3-4; Col 1:9; 2:2).
4. Spirit of Counsel (Unitree)–Counseling is guiding to win (Pr 24:6), and winning at life is converting to Christ and continuing the counsel of discipleship (Matt 28:19-20).
5. Spirit of Might (Onebody; geburah)–Might, the ability to enact power, is the Joints integrating and the Right Hand’s dividing (Heb 4:12; Eph 1:19-20).
6. Spirit of Knowledge (Answering Problems)–In the Millennial Kingdom, knowledge will be in the earth (Is 11:9-10; Eph 4:13).
7. Spirit of the Fear of the Lord (Ecclesigraph)–God delights in children who fear (Is 11:3; Ps 103:13). The Ecclesigraph “multiplies” Baby Synergians (Acts 9:31).

Attributes of God

The angels and 28 Greatest Beings worshiped God with 7 primary attributes (Rev 7:11-12). As everything in Christ’s Word does, these also represent the Body of Christ. The 7 primary attributes of God are the results of their specific Ministry:

1. Blessing (Head)–Blessings are associated with the head or bowing the head (Pr 11:26; Heb 11:21) because the head is first and deserves it (Gen 27:19; Col 1:18).
2. Glory (Ecclesigraph)–Glory is the fearful awe of God’s presence “filling” a space (Deut 28:58; Ex 40:34), the same presence of the Ecclesigraph (John 17:5; Mark 2:26).
3. Wisdom (Resprings)–Wisdom is taking God’s knowledge to help those in the most need (Jam 3:13,17).
4. Thanksgiving (Answering Problems)–Thanksgiving is praising God by remembering knowledge (Ps 75:1; 30:4).
5. Honor (Samemind)–Honor is the act of being judged as healthy (Ps 149:9).
6. Power (Unitree; dynamis)–The great potential power of the Body is the people who are evangelized and discipled (Rom 1:16).
7. Might (Onebody; ischys)–Might, the ability to enact power, is the Joints integrating and the Right Hand’s dividing (Heb 4:12; Eph 1:19-20).

Beatitudes 

Just as the Mouth prophecies (Acts 3:18,21), Jesus didn’t just teach but “opened His mouth” (Matt 5:2), signifying a prophetic blessing. These 9 blessings relate to the 9 Fruits of the Spirit and the Body of Christ. Note how the 3 blessings for peace, joy, and love come last and in order, just as the Body of Christ must be complete before these 3 Foundations can be worked on.

1. Poor in Spirit (Onebody)–Those who deserve to lead in the Kingdom must not be easily angered or arrogant (Matt 5:3; Tit 1:7).
2. Mourning (Answering Problems)–Those with knowledge of the new life need to mourn their old life (Eph 4:22-24; Matt 5:4; Acts 9:31).
3. Meek (Ecclesigraph)–Spiritual parents lead with meekness and gentleness (II Cor 10:1) and is why their children inherit their earth (Matt 5:5; Pr 13:22).
4. Hungry for Righteousness (Samemind)–Receiving the justice or judgment that we crave (Luke 18:3,6-8; Ecc 8:11) requires us to be righteous first (Matt 5:6).
5. Merciful (Resprings)–Those who seek the grace of justification (Rom 10:10) and restoration from forgiveness (I John 1:9) give mercy to receive it (Matt 5:7).
6. Pure in Heart (Unitree)–Selflessness and kindness are ultimately about being pure (Phil 2:3-4). Like children, it’s a purity that simply wishes to see their Father (Matt 5:8).
7. Peacemakers (Peace)–Those who execute justice wonder if they are truly making peace or worsening discord (I Cor 3:3; Jam 3:16). Their work will be validated (Matt 5:9).
8. Persecuted (Joy)–Those who are persecuted on earth find joy in suffering (Jam 1:2). They are guaranteed the kingdom of God’s joy (Matt 5:10; 25:21).
9. False Reviling (Love)–We are called to love those who attack us for helping them (Matt 5:11-12; Rev 11:3,10).

Personal Weaknesses

It’s important to understand the personal weaknesses of each Body Part (I Cor 9:22; Rom 15:1). The only way to work together as a Body despite weaknesses is to understand them and not take them to heart. The Left Hand is primarily responsible for teaching everyone in their church about each others’ main weaknesses:

1. Manipulation (Joints): Because they care so deeply about hearing God’s mission, they often don’t care about the will of individuals and use people (Acts 5:3).
2. Verbosity (Mouth): Because they have so much to say, they often forget that conversations should be dialogues and not monologues (Jam 1:19).
3. Forgetfulness (Nose): Because they are always deep in thought, they are often considered inconsiderate and forgetful of what’s going on in the present (Matt 6:34).
4. Controlling (Right Hand): They can be pushy, trying to control people to follow their orderly way, even if the other doesn’t agree (Acts 9:1-2).
5. Tribalistic (Torso): Those who love their family or like-minded group tend to be deeply weary of anything that challenges what they love (Gal 2:12-14).
6. Nonconformist (Skin): Desiring freedom and identity, they tend to ignore certain rules, routine tasks, and avoid commands they dislike (Matt 5:19).
7. Bluntness (Eyes): Because they believe in honoring the truth with correct judgment, they sometimes speak too brashly and hurt people’s feelings (Acts 18:26).
8. Lazy (Ears): Ears represent hearing and answering, but they aren’t like Hands: doing practical and difficult work; they prefer to be idle and wait on others (I Thess 5:14).
9. Dismissive (Heart): Once they set their heart to something, it can be hard to persuade their “hard hearts” (Acts 21:14; Matt 19:8).
10. Arrogance (Legs): Because they defend themselves from evil so much, it can be difficult to believe that they are doing evil (Pr 18:2).
11. Ineptitude (Left Hand): The weak who help the weak want to do what’s right, but don’t have the strength to do it correctly (Rom 7:15,23).
12. Shallow (Feet): Because they’re called to talk to so many people, the depth of their conversations and mindsets can be shallow (John 4:10-11,31-33).

Weaknesses in Bearing

It’s important to understand how each Body Part is primarily weak in bearing with others’ weaknesses, so we can be gentle with individuals in those areas (I Cor 9:22; Rom 15:1). Everyone dislikes certain types of people, because those types rub against our own weaknesses. The Left Hand is primarily responsible for teaching everyone in their church about each others’ main weaknesses:

1. Abandonment (Joints): For one who believes in abiding and knitting souls, it’s painful for past teammates or friends to give up on uniting with them (Is 53:3).
2. Silencing (Mouth): To those called to spread God’s oracles, they hate when they are not free to speak exactly what’s on their minds and hearts (II Cor 11:10-11).
3. Dogmatism (Nose): Through deep knowledge, they know how little they know, so they avoid those who think they have all the answers (I Cor 8:2; Mark 7:13).
4. Disorder (Right Hand): Seeing evil through ineffective leaders, they break down when their environment isn’t harmoniously working towards a good goal (Jam 3:15-16).
5. Animosity (Torso): Having a deep love for children, romantic partners, and friends, any expression of hate feels world-ending (Acts 7:54).
6. Subjugation (Skin): For those called to help people find their souls’ unique identity, slavery or being forced to work on something makes life feel meaningless (Matt 5:41).
7. Misunderstanding (Eyes): Seeing both sides of the story is vital, so when one side never confesses their flaws, they feel a grave injustice (Pr 18:17).
8. Shunning (Ears): Having not been heard, they hate it when people are shunned and avoided (Mark 10:46-48).
9. Unaccountable (Heart): Hearts love to correct, admonish, and restore faithfully because there were people close to them that would never change (Heb 3:8).
10. Desecration (Legs): Legs just want to be left alone, to be pure and holy. They feel exposed when evil forces its way into their lives (Eph 6:11-13).
11. Elitism (Left Hand): Because they have been so weak, they are most weary of those who desire the “best seats” and want to look good to others (Luke 20:46; 14:12-13).
12. Selfishness (Feet): Having had little and felt lonely, they hate seeing hoarding wealth and avoiding the lost (Jam 5:3; Matt 25:43).

New and Old

Christians can have the tendency to focus solely on new interpretations of text (Rom 7:6; II Cor 5:17) or old traditions to solve modern problems (Lk 5:39; II Thess 2:15), but both the new and the old are needed (Matt 9:16-17). All Christians agree that there is nothing new to God (Ecc 1:9; Heb 13:8), yet we humans cannot see His ways perfectly yet (I Cor 13:9). A command can be old in the sense it was given in the past, but it can also be new as the light of Progressive Revelation deepens our understanding of the old (I John 2:7-8; Pr 4:18). For this reason, God composed the Body Parts to have 1 new-focused Part be paired with 1 old-focused Part:

New

1. Mission (Joints): Apostles, or “one who is sent,” are supposed to focus on the new mission God has for the church (Matt 10:5-6).
2. Revelation (Mouth): Revelations like visions and prophecy are always for new information for specific people (I Cor 14:22; Acts 10:3).
3. Studying (Nose): We’re commanded to search the Scripture to find information we didn’t know that is new to us (Acts 17:11).
4. Calling (Skin): We are called to leave the old life for the new (Eph 4:1), one filled with new gifts (Rom 11:29).
5. Arbitrate (Eyes): To properly judge is to hear new information from both sides (Pr 18:17).
6. Liberate (Left Hand): We give acts of mercy and restorative systems to liberate people from old, oppressive systems (Jam 2:6).

Old

1. Order (Right Hand): Leaders aren’t tasked with updating laws, but maintaining the order of already created laws (Tit 1:5).
2. Presence (Torso): God has always loved us (I Cor 13:12-13) and has always been with us (Matt 28:20).
3. Answering (Ears): The only way to answer people’s questions is by learning what has already been studied (I Pet 3:15).
4. Conserve (Heart): We conserve ancient systems that have sustained society for millennia, such as the purpose behind marriage (Gen 2:24; Eph 5:31).
5. Remember (Legs): A tool when being attacked by many new ways that attack the old, proven way is to remember the cloud of witnesses that support you (Heb 12:1).
6. Messages (Feet): The Gospel (euaggelion) literally means “good message,” and messages are always in the past (II Tim 2:8).

Body Part Relations

Each Body Part in the Body of Christ needs each other (I Cor 12:21); so, it follow that every Part has a correlation with another Part. This section guides how subministries integrate non-paired Parts. For example, although the Torso leads Marriage and the Skin validates their work, the Torso and Left Hand are jointly responsible for marriage counseling. 6 represents man’s work, while 7 represents God’s completion. There are 67 Part relations, showing the complete work of God through man:

1. Nourishment (Head, Joints): God nourishes the Body through the Joints (Col 2:19; Eph 4:15-16).
2. Signals (Joints, Mouth): The Head talks to the Joints (Col 2:19), the Joints to their church (Eph 4:16), and the Mouth to everyone else (Ex 4:12,15), especially through prophecy.
3. Abiding in Words (Joints, Nose): God commands us to abide in His words (John 8:31; I John 2:14).
4. Onebody (Joints, Right Hand): Their ministry is to lead the Body into greater levels of maturity and good works (Eph 4:16).

11. Philanthropy (Joints, Left Hand): The Joints make master plans for the Left Hand to give to the needy.
12. Large Events (Joints, Feet): The Feet want to plan large events to evangelize the lost, while the Joints manage it and provide the funds.

21. Exorcisms (Mouth, Left Hand): The Left Hand desires to free the oppressed, and they do so by commanding the demons to leave with their strong mouths (Luke 4:35).
22. Unitree (Mouth, Feet): Their ministry is to convert non-believers and train them to be ready for good works (Eph 4:12).
23. Political Reform (Nose, Right Hand): The Nose’s thinktanks research the best ways to reform the political world for good.
24. Relational Knowledge (Nose, Torso): Many people do not know how to make friends or date. The Torso asks the Nose for knowledge during extreme situations.

37. War (Right Hand, Legs): When warring with evil, we need both attack and defense (Eph 6:13,17). The Hand helps fix worldly governments, while the Legs protect us from them.
38. Moving Power (Right Hand, Left Hand): The Right Hand uses mighty power (Matt 26:64; Ps 20:6), while the Left gives power to help the weak (Matt 6:3).
39. Division (Right Hand, Feet): When Feet’s evangelize and baptize, they know they are bringing a new gospel of division with evil (Luke 12:50-51).
40. Ecclesigraph (Torso, Skin): Their ministry is to help people feel worthy for their God-given calling (Eph 4:11).
41. Loving Debates (Torso, Eyes): Debates are known for being hostile, as two are attacking each other’s ego often. The Torso reminds them they are on the same side (Eph 6:12).
42. Empathy (Torso, Ears): They want others to feel heard. This is emotional validation and is why they both enjoy words of knowledge.
43. Loving Correction (Torso, Heart): Many people avoid correction because it can feel hateful. The Torso reminds the corrected person they still belong.
44. Sexual Purity (Torso, Legs): While dating, Christians must grow closer through physical touch and kisses (Song 1:2) without it leading to sex before marriage (Song 2:7).
45. Relational Counseling (Torso, Left Hand): While the Torso encourages the glory of healthy marriages and relationships, the Left Hand wisely counsels them to stay healthy.
46. Cultural Evangelism (Torso, Feet): Evangelism shouldn’t be about imposing a culture on another but enhancing their culture with the Gospel (Acts 17:23; I Cor 9:22).
47. Balance (Skin, Eyes): The centrally-ordered Parts represent cohesion: Skin’s verifying system overlap and Eyes’ validating system consensus. See Onebody Businesses’ V&V.
48. Helping Hearing (Skin, Ears): Jesus touched people’s ears (Mark 7:33) as a metaphor that we should help others spiritually hear.
49. Iterative Help (Skin, Heart): They iteratively help the struggling. One example is helping the unemployed find their God-given calling that also makes money.
50. Humble Defense (Skin, Legs): The Legs are the most arrogant Part because they receive the most attacks to their ego. The Skin trains them to stay humble.
51. Freedom (Skin, Left Hand): They are the most chaotically-oriented Parts, wanting to free people from bad systems.
52. Sacrificial Service (Skin, Feet): They both represent giving of themselves for others.

58. Fighting Resistance (Ears, Heart): Many people don’t have the heart to hear the truth; they teach people to hear the Holy Spirit’s guiding (Acts 7:51).
59. Comprehensive Defense (Ears, Legs): The Ears hear everyone, while the Legs don’t want to deal with any evil. The Ears ensure the Legs’ defenses truly tackle every problem.
60. Therapy (Ears, Left Hand): Therapy is about high levels of empathetic and compassionate listening for the sake of helping them overcome great suffering.
61. Worldly Knowledge (Ears, Feet): The only way to be salt of the earth is to know about them first (Matt 5:13). The Feet collect all info about the world, and the Ears organize it.
62. Gift of Faith (Heart, Legs): The Heart builds supernatural faith that the Legs use for defense (I Cor 12:7,9).

67. World (Left Hand, Feet): They have a strong love for non-believers, and focus most of their time on them (John 3:16).

Communication Focus

As all efficient societal systems, people should specialize in who they talk to. The top 3 Parts focus on God, the middle 6 on the church, and the bottom 3 on outsiders. This is the same as the Celestial Hierarchy’s High, Middle, and Lower Triads. While anyone can and at times should talk to anyone outside of their Communication Focus, as the number of the order increases, so does the focus from God to humanity:

1. God’s Mission (Joints)–The Joints grow their Body through the nourishment of God’s direct love (Col 2:19; Eph 4:16). Apostles constantly pray for God’s direction, not men’s.
2. God’s Messages (Mouth)–The Mouth feeds the church from God’s oracles (John 21:17; I Pet 4:11). People need the Spirit’s present guidance (John 16:13; I Cor 14:3).
3. God’s Truth (Nose)–They should always be studying the Bible (Ps 1:2), learning about God more than getting to know people. This includes the teachings of other saints.
4. Solid Foods Church (Right Hand)–They lead the local Body of 12 (Ps 139:10; Acts 5:31). They should talk to their 11 more than anyone else.
5. Unloved (Torso)–They focus on children and Milk Christians, who need the pure love of God (Luke 15:20). They ensure everyone in the Body knows God’s love (I John 4:7-8).
6. Weak (Skin)–They focus on Christians who need the power of touching God (Acts 19:11-12). They ensure everyone is diligently performing their calling (II Pet 1:10).
7. Quarrelling (Eyes)–They focus on Christians who strongly disagree with each other (I Cor 6:1; Matt 5:25). They should handle all conflict within the Body.
8. Protesters (Ears)–They hear from anyone who wishes to correct us: God, Christians, or outsiders (Mark 4:23; Acts 6:1). They listen compassionately and solve problems.
9. Community (Heart)–They exhort the Synergy Community to not sin (Heb 3:12-13; I Thess 5:11-12). They ensure families are working hard and have their needs met.
10. Enemies (Legs)–They focus on protecting the Body from enemies (II Tim 2:3-4,24-26; Tit 2:7-8). No one else in the Body should deal with attacks.
11. Hurting (Left Hand)–They help the poor and weak (Luke 4:18). They should talk to the hurting outside the church more than those who are financially and mentally stable.
12. Stranger (Feet)–The Feet talk to the most people, anyone who is a stranger (Matt 25:35; Heb 13:2). They should talk to many outsiders more than insiders.

Masculine & Feminine

One of the greatest forms of unity people can obtain is with their spouse (Eph 5:30-32). Each Body Part has masculine and feminine traits to make the Bride ready for the Marriage Supper of the Lamb (Rev 19:7,9; I Cor 11:11-12). Male Solid Food Churches should generally do masculine functions, and Female Solid Food Churches should generally do feminine functions (I Cor 11:3), predominately with the purpose of helping their men (Gen 2:18,20). Women can do all of the same functions as men (Luke 2:36), except apostleship and teaching men, so long as they are directly under the authority of a man (I Tim 2:12-14).

Masculine

1. Apostleship (Joints)–Apostles are only men, and the Joints are our main leaders (Eph 5:23).
2. Prophecy (Mouth)–All major prophets are men.
3. Theology (Nose)–Women are not allowed to teach men authoritatively (I Tim 2:11-13).
4. Leadership (Right Hand)–Leads each male Solid Foods Church, under the leadership of the highest Ordered Part.
5. Healing (Torso)–Men are to lead supernatural healing ministries and teach about the spiritual healing of understanding righteousness (I John 3:7,20-21).
6. Imposition (Skin)–Like Anglican colonization, men tend to impose their help more than women, ensuring every manifestation is utilized (I Cor 12:4-7,16).
7. Discernment (Eyes)–Men tend to be arbiters and were called to judge (Judges 2:16-18).
8. Reflection (Ears)–Men are called to reflect on if our theology is accurate (I Tim 2:11-13).
9. Rebuking (Heart)–Men tend to correct more (I Thess 2:12).
10. Fortification (Legs)–Most of the military is men, being stalwart against evil (Eph 6:11,13); it’s a husband’s duty to physically protect his wife (I Pet 3:7).
11. Good Works (Left Hand)–Men tend to work more.
12. Sharing News (Feet)–Men are more likely to share Good News to those who don’t want to hear it (Rom 10:20).

Feminine

1. Administration (Ligaments)–Administration (I Cor 12:28) is predominantly done by women in the workforce.
2. Speaking (Tongue)–Women tend to sing more than men and have higher church choir rates. They speak with their mind and in tongues more.
3. Searching (Nose)–While men tend to create theology, women foraged with their noses, synonymous with searching for knowledge (Matt 13:45; I Cor 2:10).
4. Leadership (Right Hand)–Leads each female Solid Foods Church, under the leadership of the highest Ordered Part.
5. Hospitality (Torso)–This has always been female-dominant, as is the need to belong.
6. Service (Skin)–Women are called to help and serve (Gen 2:18,20; Tit 2:4).
7. Witness (Eyes)–Women were called to witness, with their Eyes, Jesus’ resurrection (John 20:1-2,11,16). They often love to worship in spirit and truth (John 4:24).
8. Compassion (Ears)–Women are known to be more compassionate and empathetic to hearing the needs of others (Luke 10:40).
9. Reliance (Heart)–Women are more likely to rely on God in grace through faith (I Tim 2:15) instead of men who tend to want to prove themselves.
10. Defending Tradition (Legs)–The most common female personality type is the Defender, usually referring to traditional beliefs.
11. Mercy (Left Hand)–Women tend to be more merciful to the hurting (Pr 31:20,26), because they are weaker (I Pet 3:7).
12. Travel (Feet)–Women like to travel more than men, and most male missionaries need a lot of help (Gen 2:18).

Outreach

We are called to become all things to all people (I Cor 9:19-23), so we must ensure that no type of non-believer is excluded:

1. Oblivious (Unitree)–Evangelists reach out to those outside of the law (I Cor 15:56; Rom 5:20) so that they may willingly put themselves under the law of Christ (I Cor 9:21).
2. Weak (Resprings)–Many leave Christ due to being weakened and abused by the church or is a Prodigal Son weakened by their own bad choices (I Cor 9:22). The Left Hand has the largest heart for those suffering and wrongfully attacked.
3. Ignorant (Answering Problems)–Many believe they are living a good life, and genuinely do not understand why their good deeds are useless before the perfection of Christ (Rom 3:23; Is 64:6). The Ears understand their reasoning and guides the Nose to get at the root of their unbelief.
4. Outcast (Ecclesigraph)–The outcast is told he is not valuable, but the Torso helps everyone feel like they belong by teaching them true righteousness (I John 3:7,19-21).
5. Legalist (Samemind)–The skeptic is fiercely under the law of legalism (I Cor 9:20), so the Legs persist indefinitely despite their attacks (II Thess 2:15).
6. Oppressed (Onebody)–There are many people who are not Christian because they are not allowed to be. There are people whose basic human rights are not allowed (Luke 4:18). The leaders of the Body will ensure justice is enforced (Heb 11:33).
7. Self-alienated (Head)–Jesus reaches out to everyone, for everyone has turned away from God (Rom 3:12; Is 53:6), and everyone needs God to take the first step and reach out to us while we are still sinning (Rom 5:8; 9:16).

Evangelism & Conversions

While the Outreach section defines who each Body Part reaches out to, this section defines how. The Spiritual Gifts section further explains that while the Feet may do the most Evangelism, any Body Part can have the calling of an evangelist or take part in evangelizing to help people convert to Synergianism. The following is the primary method how each Body Part will convert people to Synergianism:

1. Life Integration (Joints): Harmonizing in all areas of life–like business, church, and home–tends to draw more people in (Col 3:14; John 13:35).
2. Signs & Wonders (Mouth): Supernatural events like words of knowledge or speaking in foreign languages are signs for nonbelievers (I Cor 14:22; Acts 6:8).
3. Knowledge (Nose): Evangelizing the intelligent requires knowing that they know, while telling them it is not enough (Acts 17:23). They don’t respect blind faith.
4. Justice (Right Hand): Enacting justice for the oppressed is a strong motivator for them to leave their current system to find a better one (Matt 12:18).
5. Friendship (Torso): The genuine love of friendship opens the door to evangelism (II Cor 6:6,8).
6. Purpose (Skin): Many live a mediocre life because they don’t believe they are called to a more excellent life (II Pet 1:3).
7. Conclaves (Eyes): Our debate system optimizes time to conversion by getting at the root of the problem and not giving up for months until either party converts (Acts 19:8).
8. Answering (Ears): A person won’t convert if they have unanswered questions (Col 4:6).
9. Co-living (Heart): When people see how much more affordable and family-oriented Co-living is compared to single-family housing, they’ll be enticed to join (Acts 4:32).
10. Persecution (Legs): When bystanders see Christians being falsely persecuted, they desire our strength (Acts 7:60-8:2; II Thess 1:3-4).
11. Acts of Mercy (Left Hand): Giving to those who need the most is an acts of faithfulness so strong that others want that loyalty as well (Jam 2:15-17).
12. Gospel (Feet): The core aspect of evangelism is spreading the Gospel: the good news of Christ’s power over sin and death (I Cor 15:3-6), for it itself has power (Rom 1:16).

Trinitarian Focus

Because every Person in the Trinity and every Body Part has a unique role, it’s natural that certain Body Parts focus on certain Persons of the Trinity. For example, most would agree the Pentecostals focus on the Holy Spirit, while Baptists focus on Jesus. Some of these God-Part connections are directly mentioned (Acts 3:21), while others are indirect. Notice how the top 3 ordered Parts each focus on different Persons of the Trinity.

God the Father

1. Mouthpiece (Mouth): Father’s mouth (Matt 4:4; Acts 3:21), Father’s language (I Cor 14:2), praising the Father (Heb 13:15)
2. Power (Right Hand): Father’s authority (John 14:10), “right hand of God” (Mk 16:19), power of God (Lk 22:69)
3. Parenting (Torso): Father’s love to His children (I John 3:1)
4. Gifts (Left Hand): Father’s adoption (Rom 8:15), Father’s gifts (Lk 11:13; Jam 1:17), Father’s mercy (I Pet 1:3)

God the Son

1. Head (Joints): Head’s nourishment (Col 2:19; Eph 4:15)
2. Faith (Heart): belief in Christ’s resurrection (Rom 10:9), Christ dwells in heart (Eph 3:17), guarding (Phil 4:7), peace (Col 3:15)
3. Gospel (Feet): Jesus’ gospel (Mk 1:1), preaching Christ (I Cor 1:23)
4. Defense (Legs): Lord as a shield (Ps 3:3), standing in Christ’s freedom (Gal 5:1), strong armor from Lord (Eph 6:10,13)

God the Holy Spirit

1. God’s Word (Nose): Scripture is breathed (II Tim 3:16), Spirit in nostrils (Job 27:3), breath gives Spirit (John 20:22), Spirit’s searching (Rom 8:27; I Cor 2:10)
2. Impartation (Skin): Spirit through laying hands (Acts 8:17), imparting power through touch (Lk 8:46)
3. Interpretation (Eyes): law of the Spirit of life (Rom 8:1), mind of the Spirit (Rom 8:6), truth Guide (John 16:13), discerning spirits (I Cor 12:10)
4. Hearing (Ears): ears for the Spirit (Rev 2:29), Spirit’s words (I Cor 2:13)

Human Trust

It is good to entrust ourselves to other people for the sake of unity (Matt 25:14); yet, we cannot trust the unworthy (John 2:24). We have noticed that certain Body Parts are more likely to trust other people over others. Trust is ultimately a good thing, and we believe overcoming the evil who makes it difficult for us to trust is the only way to experience the abundant life found only in Christian unity (John 10:10; I Cor 12:12). This is why the initial Goal for the Synergy Revival is the Need-based Evangelism of Resprings Co-living, for we believe only those trusting enough to live with other good Christians are worthy to lead (II Thess 1:11; Acts 4:32). We explain the aspects of how each Part trusts others, as the premise of our 2nd Goal of Depth of Goodness is believing they are good (I Cor 13:7).

1. Their Team (Joints): They deeply trust their own team (Col 2:19) and distrust those who are loners or avoid community.
2. Listeners (Mouth): They trust those who listen and empathize with them and distrust those who won’t hear them out.
3. Intelligence (Nose): They trust those with facts, data, and logical arguments, while they distrust those who can’t explain themselves yet seek power.
4. Powerful (Right Hand): They trust those with power as having been more blessed (I Cor 4:19-20), and distrust those who want control but can’t control their own lives.
5. Time (Torso): They trust the people they spend the most time with, like family or old friends. They distrust strangers and new connections.
6. Selfless (Skin): They trust those who kindly help others, while distrusting those who want to amass power for themselves.
7. Detached (Eyes): They trust those who are compassionate to both sides without bias or emotion. They distrust the overly emotional and the agenda-driven.
8. Open (Ears): They trust people who are open about their thoughts and feelings, while distrusting those who stay silent, using secrecy as an exploitative tool.
9. Diligent (Heart): They trust hard workers who independently provide for themselves. They distrust those who take from others and are lazy.
10. Good (Legs): They deeply trust those who have been good to them, and distrust anyone who may be evil. They tend to distrust strangers the most.
11. Merciful (Left Hand): They trust those who want to help the less fortunate, because they were. They distrust those who care less about the weak.
12. All Weakly (Feet): As evangelists, they tend to have a base trust for everyone, but it’s difficult for that trust to increase because they see the most evil.

While the Bible doesn’t specifically attach colors to Body Parts, we can correlate biblical symbology of colors to biblical symbology of Body Parts. These colors are chosen based on the biblical Jewels of the Gemstone Foundations instead of mixing RGB twice or human-based CIELAB. Like birds, we’ll likely have more than 3 cones in heaven that don’t overlap as much. We also include white for God. While many of the English words we use for colors were not concepts in biblical times (orange), the colors themselves are represented by common symbolic objects (fire).

1. Violet, Purple (Joints): worn by leaders (Ex 39:1; Mk 15:17)
2. Scarlet (Mouth): royalty (Matt 27:28), wealth (Rev 18:12,16), sin (Is 1:18; Jam 3:8), blasphemy (Rev 17:3-4)
3. Red (Nose): life blood (II Kings 3:22; Gen 9:4), nose’s blood (Pr 30:33), Christ’s blood (Eph 2:13)
4. Silver (Right Hand): iron swords and rods (Rev 19:15); money which represented power (II Kings 15:19)
5. Yellow (Torso): sun’s warmth (Matt 13:43), judging sickness (Lev 13:30-36)
6. Green (Skin): breadth, growth, and stability of plants/nature (Gen 1:30; 9:3)
7. Indigo (Eyes): royalty’s judgment (Ex 25:4), deep ocean’s depth of insight (Pr 18:4; 20:5)
8. Magenta (Ears): a mix of red/blue, both mind Parts; Argaman (Tyrian Purple; Acts 16:14) represented the intersection of man and the divine
9. Orange (Heart): purifying fire (I Cor 3:15; Rev 3:18)
10. Gray (Legs): aged, non-changing understanding (Job 15:10; Pr 16:31); unyielding like a stone/rock fortress (Ps 18:2; Matt 21:44)
11. Chartreuse, Lime Gold (Left Hand): yellow-green (Ps 68:13); sickness (Lev 13:49; Rev 6:8; pale=chlorophyll)
12. Teal, Cyan, Turquoise (Feet): light-colored oceans/seas (Matt 23:15); walking on water (Matt 14:29)
13. White (Head): Jesus’ hair (Rev 1:14), all colors, maturity (Rev 3:5)

Sociological Body Part Correlations

This section explains how modern people groups have tended to organize around Body Parts for the last 2000 years.

Gemstone Foundations

The 12 Body Parts are also the Gemstone Foundations (Rev 21:14,19-21; I Cor 3:12). See how they relate to the 12 apostles, various denominations, world cultures, and more at the Foundations page.

Political Spectrum

A political spectrum is a common term in politics to discuss how people align themselves to policies that greatly affect a nation. Many believe the most accurate way to determine one’s political ideology is through a political compass: left (centralization), right (subsidiarity), top (authoritarian), and bottom (libertarian). This graph shows that countries that lean too heavily in a corner tend to suffer, and why certain countries ally and others fight. We believe that all 4 are necessary components of a good country, and as such, all Body Parts have a place. Practically, any person can have any political leaning and be healthy. For example, not all Left Hands love anarchy or communism, but they see the value in incorporating those concepts into a nation.

1. Joints: primary authority, balancing economic control
2. Mouth: alliances, prosperity
3. Nose: freedom to do what they want, socio-economic thinktanks, Nordic’s innovative policies
4. Right Hand: leaders who divide with large powers, opposite of Left Hand
5. Torso: parental authority, experienced know best, East Asian familial culture
6. Skin: imposing human rights, freedom of work choice
7. Eyes: justice for the oppressed, neutral, seeing both sides
8. Ears: listening to all, freedom to do what is needed
9. Heart: conservatism, slowly building wealth, hard work
10. Legs: do what has always worked, individualistic
11. Left Hand: oppressed rights, liberation from bad systems, state-controlled safety net to help the poor
12. Feet: spreading news, talking to individuals, setting captives free

Social Media

Similar to how the Body Parts are the most powerful social categorization of people, because it’s biblical (I Cor 12:12), social media has proven to be the world’s most powerful social tool. By social media, we also include social networks, as the 2 share a similar function in society. We don’t include platforms like WhatsApp, which is private messaging-centric, nor YouTube, which is mostly for solo consumption.

1. Algorithms (Joints): Each social platform relies on a conducting system to manage how much each post is shown and when.
2. LinkedIn’s Connections (Mouth): They both connect the most powerful through alliances.
3. LinkedIn’s Content (Nose): They both publish bleeding-edge engineering and social research.
4. X’s Division (Right Hand): They are known the most for speaking out against large powers.
5. Facebook/Instagram’s Inner Circle (Torso): Meta has mentioned how they prioritize content from close friends and family.
6. Reddit’s Karma (Skin): Their karma system gamifies helping strangers.
7. Kialo (Eyes): Although not large, they accurately get to the deepest logic on both sides of every story. No large network does this yet, but we are creating one.
8. TikTok’s Engagement (Ears): They are known to maximize engagement, allowing content from the complete political spectrum.
9. X’s Conservation (Heart): In 2026, they’re known for being overwhelmingly conservative, defending traditional masculinity and financial decisions.
10. LinkedIn’s Moderation (Legs): They have the strictest content and DM phishing moderation, because of the higher net worth per user.
11. Reddit’s Liberation (Left Hand): In 2026, they are known for being overwhelmingly liberal, advocating for the weakest in society.
12. Reddit’s News (Feet): Considering monthly-active users, they are likely the largest social media that gets the most global news out to the most people.

Famous Christians

Because each person is a Body Part, it follows that there should be famous Christians among all the Body Parts throughout history. This section explains the purpose of a person, not their actual Part in a church. For example, MLK Jr. may have been a Joint in the sense that he was a unifying leader, but his purpose was the Torso’s racial unity.

1. Joints: Jesus Christ, Adam
2. Mouth: John Piper, C.S. Lewis, Nathan the Prophet
3. Nose: Thomas Aquinas, St. Paul, Solomon
4. Right Hand: St. Peter, Joshua (OT), Jonah the Prophet
5. Torso: MLK Jr., William Wilberforce, Moses, Mary Magdalene
6. Skin: Rick Warren, Alfred the Great, Esther
7. Eyes: St. Gregory of Nyssa, Synergy’s Founder, Pseudo-Dionysius
8. Ears: Craig Groeschel
9. Heart: Martin Luther, King David, Dave Ramsey
10. Legs: Job, Constantine the Great, Stephen the Martyr
11. Left Hand: Mother Teresa, Pope Francis, Father Chad Ripperger
12. Feet: Billy Graham, Francis Chan

Modern Ministries

A fundamental part of our theology is that God blesses those who operate under the guidance of the Spirit, which is done through specific Parts (I Cor 12:4-7). This implies that the largest active ministries specialize in an area of a Body Part. We do not include denominations because they have a tendency of shifting their focus every century. We attempt to include the largest active ministries in the world, quantifying “active” by having the most website visits or YouTube subscribers that actively teach the Trinity. We also try to mention names from diverse denominations when possible, instead of including multiple large ministries that are very similar:

1. Joints: Ministries that pool resources: Papacy, Southern Baptist Convention, WCC, etc.
2. Mouth: Bethel (prophecy), Hillsong (music), Right Now Media (discipleship)
3. Nose: Desiring God (theology), BibleGateway (Bible translations)
4. Right Hand: Word on Fire (Magisterial order), Bible Thinker (rebuking, discernment)
5. Torso: Focus on the Family (dating, marriage), Christ Embassy (physical healing)
6. Skin: Purpose Driven Life (calling)
7. Eyes: see our primary goal “Goodness for Understanding”; smaller examples include Veritas Forum and TruthUnites
8. Ears: Life Church (mobile relevancy), North Point Ministries (shepherding), GotQuestions (answering)
9. Heart: Grace to You (justification), Ligonier (5 solas)
10. Legs: FCPO (military), CrossExamined (refutation), Covenant Eyes (sexual purity)
11. Left Hand: Salvation Army (humanitarian aid), Compassion (poverty), Locke Media (exorcisms)
12. Feet: Billy Graham Association (evangelism), Living Waters (preparation), YWAM (missions)

Cognitive Limits

Dunbar’s number is the concept that people can only maintain 150 relationships at a time. Psychologists also note layers within this number, and these relate to our numbers. Notice how most Christians have family, friends, and acquaintances, but not a community:

1. Family (5)–A person can only be closely intimate with 5 people, which is his immediate family: wife and kids.
2. Friends (15)–A person can only have about 15 close friends. For us, that is the Solid Foods church of 12.
3. Community (50)–A person can only know about 50 people well. This is the 12 husbands, 12 wives, co-workers, and friends.
4. Acquaintances (150)–A person can only maintain about 150 connections. This would include extended family, strangers, community’s children, etc.

Other Body Part Correlations

These are extrabiblical relations to the Body Parts. Similar to how science and psychology are not found in the Bible directly but are useful to humanity, we believe nature itself shows the glory of God, including the glory of God’s Body Parts (Rom 8:21).

MBTI Personality

We believe in the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI), specifically from 16 Personalities. While there is no exegetical or prophetic correlation between Body Parts and MBTI, we do see clear, biblical correlations, like how Apostles are Architects or how Commanders are not Ears. Notice how on average the more common personality types by gender have more Body Parts, and the least common have less. We know biblically that God apportions His Part giftings at around 8.33%, because it equals 100% of a Solid Foods church / 12 (I Cor 12:11), and that is what we also see with the following MBTI analysis. Notice how the rank #1 Part Joints is INTJ while the #2 Part Mouth is ESFP, showing how God deeply values all personality types. We also see a trend that Overseers tend to have N personalities, while non-leaders have more S. For example, a Left Hand Overseer is more likely to be an INFP than ESFJ:

1. INTJ Architect (Joints): Both like to have a plan for everything. They both determinedly want to connect everything.
2. INTP Logician (Nose): Both are studious, introverted, and analytical. They’re both like PhD scientists discovering the depths of the world or theology.
3. ENTJ Commander (Right Hand): Both are strong-willed, zealous leaders. They lean on dogma and can be arrogant and intolerant about it.
4. ENTP Debater (Eyes): Both are intelligent, always understanding both sides of an argument. They want to look beyond logic to get at the soul of the disagreement.
5. INFJ Advocate (Mouth): As one of the rarest types, they represent the rarest gift: prophecy. Prophets tend to have INFJ tendencies, including insight, passion, and principles.
6. INFP Mediator (Eyes, Torso, Left Hand): The Eyes govern Mediation in Samemind. They have the empathy and passion of heart-oriented Parts.
7. ENFJ Protagonist (Mouth): Similar to the Charismatics, the Protagonists are also charismatic, able to lead, as a few Mouths do. They’re both talkative and idealistic.
8. ENFP Campaigner (Ears): Both champion others’ causes, are perceptive, extroverted, non-judgmental, and positive.
9. ISTJ Logistician (Heart, Skin, Nose): The most common male type (16.4%) is diverse: honest, direct, practically helpful, disciplined, and research-oriented.
10. ISFJ Defender (Legs, Torso): The most common female type (19.4%) is like a nurse: fiercely defending the truth given to them but supportive and loving.
11. ESTJ Executive (Joints, Right Hand): Both are called administrators, who execute what they are given loyally and with order.
12. ESFJ Consul (Left Hand): Both want to give a helping hand to those they are loyal to in a warm, friendly manner.
13. ISTP Virtuoso (Skin, Nose): Both are introverted, independent, practical workers who work diligently and can be skeptical to unfounded ideas.
14. ISFP Adventurer (Ears, Feet): Both the Feet and Adventurer are known for traveling, always giving an ear to new people, yet they dislike the complexity of structure.
15. ESTP Entrepreneur (Feet): Both like creating new things and boldly going where no one has gone before, whether that be a new business idea or unreached people groups.
16. ESFP Entertainer (Mouth, Torso, Heart): Entertainers are singers. Mouths sing. Hearts worship. Entertain used to mean hospitality, which is a core action of the Torso.

Attachment Theory

In attachment theory, most people develop an attachment disorder based on the flaws of their caregivers’ parenting style: either anxious or avoidant. Anxious people are constantly preoccupied with what others are doing or thinking, while avoidant people ignore others and refuse to solve problems. Any individual can have neither and be healthy or have both and be very unhealthy, but we noticed a trend for this and Body Parts. Notice how the anxious-avoidant divide is also based around Body Part Pairings. The following are traits that a particular Body Part hates the most:

Anxious

1. Disharmony (Joints): They crave for people to work together, and can’t stand when someone wants to permanently avoid a problem.
2. Silencing (Mouth): They get preoccupied with people who try to silence them or avoid them when they talk too much.
3. Antagonism (Torso): They ruminate over any small word or body language that caused them to feel antagonized.
4. Arrogance (Eyes): They were often told illogically that they were wrong about most things, and so they fixate on these more arrogant types.
5. Narcissism (Ears): They are often worried the most with people who only talk to listen and control, not truly empathetically listen.
6. Stagnation (Heart): When they can’t slowly grow their friendships, finances, or society, they apply the slippery-slope fallacy to any minor decline.

Avoidant

1. Groupthink (Nose): They have a short temper for illogical and unintelligent conversations and prefer to be by themselves to quicken their search for truth.
2. Corruption (Right Hand): Having seen so much evil, they are quick to lash out at anything they disagree with without thinking about it too deeply.
3. Codependency (Skin): They take great pride in their ability to help others’ purposes systematically. They want to avoid repeatedly helping the same person for fear of failure.
4. Offensiveness (Legs): Having been attacked often, they get overly defensive when someone tries to correct them.
5. Abusiveness (Left Hand): They naturally want to liberate people from oppressive systems, even if that means avoiding good order. 
6. Aggrandizement (Feet): They hate overly complicating things and believe that a short, quick conversation is all that’s needed for the most value.

Organ Systems

Some Christians see similarities between the body’s organ systems and the Body of Christ. There happen to be exactly 12 biological organ systems:

1. Nervous (Joints): It transfers and processes signals from the brain, just like how the Joint processes commands from our Head (Col 2:19).
2. Endocrine (Mouth): It uses hormones to communicate with the entire Body, just like how the Mouth speaks through prophecy (Matt 13:35) and instructions (Matt 28:20).
3. Respiratory (Nose): This system processes oxygen through breathing, and the Nose remind us that we depend on God’s breath to live (Job 33:4; Acts 17:25).
4. Muscular (Right Hand): Its purpose is to affect the environment. The Right Hand is in charge of affecting governing bodies through strong use of the sword (Heb 4:12).
5. Digestive (Torso): This system processes food with organs primarily in the torso, and our Torso believe strongly in food-based hospitality (Acts 6:1; Rom 12:13).
6. Integumentary (Skin): This system represents the hair, fat, and skin that cover the whole Body. Our Skin, too, help wherever they are needed (II Cor 9:12; I Cor 12:5).
7. Exocrine (Eyes): Its glands secrete lubricants to enhance functions, just like how our Eyes see God’s light to enhance how we do everything (Eph 5:13-14).
8. Urinary (Ears): It filters out waste, in the same way the Ears protect the body from poisonous thoughts (James 3:8; II Tim 4:3).
9. Cardiovascular (Heart): This system pumps blood throughout the body using the heart, and our Heart remind us that faith is the lifeblood of the Body (Rom 1:17; Gal 2:20).
10. Lymphatic/Immune (Legs): The lymp carries immune cells to protect the body. Similarily, the Legs are our first line of defense against foreign bodies (Eph 6:12-13).
11. Skeletal (Left Hand): It protects and supports the Body physically, just as the Left Hand uses the Shield of Faith (Eph 6:16) to support the needs of others (Rom 12:13).
12. Reproductive (Feet): It creates new babies, in the same way the Feet preaches the Gospel to create new baby Christians (I Pet 2:2).

Zodiac Signs

The Antichrist is the opposite of Christ, who always weaves truth in lies (Gen 3:1,4). Astrology and divination is forbidden (Rev 21:8; Dan 2:27; I Sam 15:23) because it’s Satan’s unholy, stolen version of the Body of Christ (John 10:10). Your Body Part is not related to your birthday because this principle is not found in the Bible. For evangelists who know people into astrology and horoscopes, we encourage you to shift their focus to the true, functional separation of the one body of Christ (Rom 12:4):

1. Aries (Fire, Joints)–ram (head-first), pioneer, initiator, boldness, willful, driven, competitive, pioneering energy, crisis solver, startups, courageous 
2. Gemini (Air, Mouth)–twins (communication), left vs right-brained, communication, curiosity, adaptability, mental agility, kind, flexible, adaptable
3. Aquarius (Air, Nose)–water bearer (finds value), scientists, theorists, innovation, abstract thinking, knowledge, systematic, analytical, independent, visionary, detached
4. Leo (Fire, Right Hand)–lion (emblematic), fiery, confident, charismatic, loyal, inspiring, courageous, recognition, leadership, authority, prideful, bold, dramatic, validated
5. Cancer (Water, Torso)–crab (protective shell home), care-giver, emotional sensitivity, protection, nurturing, home-centered focus, compassionate
6. Taurus (Earth, Skin)–bull (hard-working), builder, stability, comfort, persistence, material grounding, dependable, reliable, security, pleasure, endurance, resourceful
7. Libra (Air, Eyes)–scales (justice), peacemaker, harmony, fairness, partnership, idealistic, social balance, romantic, gentle, debate
8. Scorpio (Water, Ears)–scorpion (depth, digging), investigation, psychology, perceptive, hidden knowledge, deep, transformation, detective, truth-seeker
9. Virgo (Earth, Heart)–virgin (harvest), order, intelligent, analytical, detail-oriented, diligent, helpful, humble, precise, practical organization, critical, perfectionist, improvement
10. Capricorn (Earth, Legs)–goat (mountain), structure, fortification, hierarchy, order, laws, endurance, systematic, legacy, discipline
11. Pisces (Water, Left Hand)–fish (dissolution), healer, restoration, imagination, compassion, intuition, emotional depth, sensitive, flexible, transcendence, removing ego
12. Sagittarius (Fire, Feet)–archer (arrow’s travel), exploration, adventurous, independent, free-spirited, purpose, meaning

Law Alignment

In the popular game Dungeons & Dragons, people can be categorized as lawful and chaotic and good and evil. This became so popular on the Internet that it is a common meme on social media. While God is good and has no evil (III John 1:11) and that all Christians must obey the law (Rom 13:1; Matt 7:23), Christians can either do good through the law (Rom 13:5) or do good by correcting it (Galatians 3:24–25). Notice how the Hands are opposite, as doing good has 2 sides to it. The following is our understanding of how lawful and chaotic each Part is, starting with the most lawful:

1. Right Hand: More than any part, they crave order, rules, and systems. Once they understand a law, they will strongly fight for it and against any law that opposes it.
2. Legs: They strongly defend whatever they believe is the law. They are highly obedient to their leaders.
3. Heart: As the most stable Part, they love laws because they create stability.
4. Joints: While they value the law because they are the primary leaders, they are sensitive to the needs of all Chaotic Parts, too.
5. Mouth: Because they realize the most power comes from alliances and influence, they tend to cater to the most people, who are usually on the good side of the law.
6. Eyes: They are the most neutral Body Part, fully understanding both the law and its flaws.
7. Nose: They are also very neutral. They care a lot about what people think is lawful but also discovering newer and better laws.
8. Torso: While family-oriented people generally try to obey the law to not take major risks, they will break any law to save those they love.
9. Ears: While generally obedient, they will do anything do ensure the oppressed are heard, even if the law favors the majority.
10. Feet: Similar to illegal preaching and bold paparazzi, the Feet will do whatever it takes to spread their message or find the truth, even if the people don’t like it.
11. Skin: They value freedom, even to the extent of imposing freedoms against local laws.
12. Left Hand: They are the most Chaotic Part, actively trying to fix broken systems that are hurting the most people.

Income

Similar to how denominations formed by geographical area (see Foundations) and differing national GDPs, we have seen how certain Body Parts tend to make more money than others, but that all should share everything (Acts 4:32) so that no one suffers (I Cor 12:25-26). The highest ordered Parts aren’t Upper Class because they focus more on God. The lowest ordered Parts tend to be Lower Class because they focus more on people than businesses. While God does lay up wealth for the righteous (Pr 13:22), many of the most righteous are called to be poor (II Cor 8:9).

Upper Class (top 33%)–the rich, own homes, investors, managers, entrepreneurs

1. Right Hand: Representing power and money, they gain a lot of financial power through their leadership-oriented mindset.
2. Ears: The best startups solve problems that they hear others have. These have the most compassion towards real needs, and so people buy from them more.
3. Heart: Our Co-living household and financial managers consistently build generational wealth by working with old systems that have worked well.
4. Mouth: Those who hear from God, train others, and make alliances tend to have more money than average.

Middle Class (middle 33%)–live comfortably, renting or can pay off mortgage decently over time, sometimes worried about bills

1. Joints: While they are intelligent and understand the bigger picture, their desire for other people and God over money keeps them at a stable place.
2. Nose: These tend to have the highest IQ and so can have almost any job, but their focus on new research tends to pay proportionally less.
3. Eyes: Their balance of open-mindedness with honest judgment allows them to successfully accomplish work at a reasonable pace.
4. Skin: Those skilled in serving work hard, but servants rarely move up the corporate ladder.

Lower Class (bottom 33%)–on welfare, struggling to pay bills, dislike worldly work

1. Legs: They work hard and consistently, but their stubbornness decreases their chances of providing unique, innovative value.
2. Left Hand: They are prone to forgiving debt and helping the weak due to being weak themselves. Yet, helping others does have indirect benefits.
3. Torso: Their heavy focus on people and their emotions tends to push them away from logical business needs.
4. Feet: Their constant need to sacrifice for the greater good often causes them to go without.
