What Is The Quodlibet?
The Quodlibet is the ethical scripture of the Yehoshuai Faith, the companion volume to Poems For Earth, and together they form JAH’S BOOK—the sacred text for the outcast, the wounded, and the seeker of GOD’S love. The Quodlibet is no ordinary book. It is a living, breathing transmission of divine instruction, a book that transforms not just the reader’s thinking but their very way of being.
Where Poems For Earth sings in the voice of spirit and soul, The Quodlibet teaches in the voice of clarity and ethical fire. It lays out the full moral framework of Yehoshuai. It is a guidebook, a code, a mirror, and a map. It tells us how to live the teachings of Yehoshuai, how to practice radical love, and how to embody the Gospel as it was meant to be lived.
Structure and Content
The Quodlibet is divided into three major parts:
Part One: Introduction – Here we are introduced to Mr. Damian the Scrivener of the Yehoshuai Faith, and we hear his personal story of transformation through suffering. This part also includes a critical evaluation of the Bible, especially the ways in which it has been used to support slavery, misogyny, and homophobia. Mr. Damian shows how The Quodlibet answers those failures with a new ethical articulation rooted in Christ’s true teachings.
Part Two: Living Love, Living Christ – A reworking and updating of Leo Tolstoy’s The Law of Love and the Law of Violence, this section is a fiery sermon and philosophical exploration on how the ethics of Yehoshuai differ from the violent, empire-blessed Christianity of history. It is an impassioned call to live Christ’s words literally—especially His commandments to love enemies, reject violence, and serve the poor.
Part Three: The 19 Texts of Holiness – This is the core of The Quodlibet. These nineteen texts lay out the complete ethics of Christ as understood in Yehoshuai. The first is The Midrosh, which is the central daily recitation and spiritual summary of the faith. Others include definitions of love, the moral teachings of Christ (The Mountain Talk, The Valley Talk), guides for prayer, how to live Poems For Earth, and visions of the New Jerusalem.
Each of the 19 texts is sacred, clear, and powerful. They can be memorized, recited aloud, studied in community, or meditated upon alone. They are meant to heal. And they are meant to guide.
The Purpose of The Quodlibet
The Quodlibet teaches us how to live love. Not to talk about love, not to fake it, not to market it—but to live it. It teaches:
How to live without hypocrisy.
How to stand with the poor, the immigrant, the queer, the abused, the outcast.
How to pray.
How to serve.
How to walk clean in a dirty world.
How to submit to a God who heals, not harms.
It exists to separate true Christianity from the false Christianity of empire, nationalism, and religious domination. It is a holy revolution—nonviolent, uncompromising, rooted in mercy.
A Living Text
The Quodlibet is alive. Read aloud, it breathes. Recited daily, it transforms. Memorized, it becomes your companion, your weapon, your rest. It is a text given by divine instruction, written not for scholars, but for the broken and brave.
As the Scrivener writes, The Quodlibet “defends itself.” It requires no defense. All it asks is to be read with an open heart and a willing tongue. Its words will do the rest.
If you seek justice, if you seek Christ, if you are tired of hypocrisy and hungry for something real—The Quodlibet is your book. It was written for you.
Read it. Recite it. Live it.
